Here you are😅
In the music retail business we used to refer to excessive self-indulgent guitar soloing as "wanking". First thought that came to mind. Brilliant video though. 😅
As someone who has done an adequate amount of tedious editing, this is impressive. Well done.
You cannot fool us heretic. There was no editing. Your lies can only hold for so long
One of my favourite genres of music is covers played on absurd instruments. This is marvellous.
thanks for the new quest. any suggestions?
what about a cover made using a band of absurd instruments?

IDK how many people noticed, but the fact that you recreated the music video for the solo was amazing. I loved this!

Oh wow, great catch
I don't get it
@@SoulSif The picture-in-picture in this video (where one has a zoom in on his hands, and the other shows a full body shot) is a tribute to the original music video of Through the Fire and the Flames, where they used this effect a lot, especially during the guitar solo.
Me who just played the song on Beat Saber...
The amount of skill and speed he has is in credible. He can play so fast and with such ease that it looks as if he is teleporting to the next note
0:57 and the part after just tickles my brain so much. I love it.
As someone currently taking a filmaking class, I can only imagine the pain and suffering editing this must have caused. My condolences, and amazing job!
I am pretty sure that it took a very long time, but I also think, that it wasn't necessarily hard, depending on the software he used.
@@nintendogamer1926 still, he probably wanted to die by the end
@@thatweirdlesbian- the hardest thing is matching the edits to the song tempo perfectly

This sounds like a mix between a Gameboy and SNES cover and I love it
The dedication to learn how to do this without any editing and inhumane reflexes is incredible.
Omg yes, it’s just like 69 string bass
Don't mind me, just waiting for an r/wooosh.

Love that the text labeling every note is very much for us and definitely not just there to make the nightmare of editing this slightly more bearable. Fantacticly done

@@BakaTheSussy I think that's the joke
@@icecreamget All keys can be shown as flats or sharps. Gb major is just F# major, for example.
@@Qril on a equaly tempered instrument like a piano, yes, on a guitar or a violin, nope. (9 commas in a tone, a flat is -4 and a sharp +4, ngl, only expert musicians and computers hear the difference, yet it exists, more particulary in the intention)
I dunno what's more impressive, the lego guitar, the fact that it WORKS, or the fact that this guy can play it.
god this man has to be the best guitarist i’ve ever seen. i wish i could have even a crumb of their power
I did a stop motion project like this in high school with a guitar hero guitar, with this song. When you said "hours of video editing later", I REALLY felt that. The thing is, I could actually play the damn thing, so I gave up on stop motion after the beginning intro part and just continued the video from there with just plain footage of my hands and the screen. I got an A on the project. My teacher said "it was a cool reveal when it switched from stop motion to real time, showing that you can actually play the song on guitar hero. That was pretty crazy". I happily accepted the compliment, knowing that the switch to real time was out of sheer laziness, not wanting to go through that agonizing editing process anymore.
that sounds cool as hell
@KaiMCGRPS the teacher put it on the school website, and it gave me a reputation at school as "the guitar hero guy". At parties, drunk people would hand me the guitar hero guitar and go "duuuude you gotta play". It was the weirdest thing. At least I didn't get bullied for it 😂

I fucking agree
The song starts at 0:22, for ease of replay-ability.
Pov: you’re a guy who cant sleep at night.
I can't believe he actually managed to do this in one take without editing. I think Herman Li might be jealous of that skill!
Sorry to destroy it for you but this is clearly edited! You can see it at 1:31 if you play the video at 0.25 speed.

Never thought my late night procrastination would bring me here... I love it.
I’m impressed with how well you were able to stay still between notes
I love your ability to never do something half hearted. You go full into a project when you get into it. Insanely impressive.

He literally only did half the song.
@@dave3429 well that doesn't really take away from his point though, it's painfully obvious the amount of effort and work that went into the edit to make it sound almost identical to the original song.

the work alone to edits this is horrifying and impressive, well done!!!

You have essentially created a analog chiptune version of “through the fire and flames”. Impressive
Honestly this editing style is very Lego like so it fits well! You could do whole series like this! D
Dude just created an instrument that turns guitar solos into 8bit tracks
Props to him for transcending time and space to make large jumps with extreme precision within milliseconds and playing the keys with a single finger
man became a MIDI instrument
Just like the band itself does!

The sound it makes is like a squarewave an 80's 8-bit computer would make, and I really like it!
Yeah haha! The sawtooth-square wave ish sound does give a new kind of twist to it.
maybe. It isn’t exactly square or sawtooth
@@weegie3343 Probably somewhere around there though. Some discrete type of waveform, like square, sawtooth or triangle
I saw this scrolling through FB and I remember why I subscribed to your channel. This is the type of content I love. 💪💪💪
Probably the coolest thing I've ever seen with lego.. upgrade it with a body and head stock! If they/you can refine it without a lot of editing and this ever became a kit. Probably the most expensive kit they could sell
I would not mind at all if more of these videos came out! Great work!
I think they would xD this probably took painstaking amount of time to line up the notes
Can't wait to see the "99% Lego Guitar Skills 1% Editing Skills" version. Regardless this was really well done! Funny and amazing.
Featuring: 40 sporadic minutes of re-assembling the guitar.
Awesome work!
I FEEL THE MIDIS POWER IN MY VEINS, THE 90s ARE BACK ONCE AGAIN
what a wholesome idea to include the note you are playing so the viewer at home can follow with their own lego guitar 🙏🙏
Amazing

Cats, now! In all seriousness, your videos are amazing.

This is insane. Absolute legend.
My Man was playing Through the Fire and Flames on his Editing Software lmao. What a Legend.
Wow, you really managed to play Through the Fire and Flames EXACTLY like how Herman Li did it. You're awesome
Not exactly. Herman Li played it in a common-mortal guitar.
@@sirsancti5504he also plays Sam's parts!
Waiting for someone to take these sounds and add them into a midi editor. God knows what songs would come out of it!
Considering how many connection options you have with the EV3, I’m pretty sure he could just plug the EV3 brick into his computer via USB, and write a program that takes in MIDI data and plays the right notes at the right times from the EV3 itself! No guitar attachment necessary-although it would be cool to have a MIDI-controlled guitar, I must say!
@@mbcommandnerd ok, but if you don't use the guitar attachment, it's kind of just a synthesizer
it's probably, like, a saw wave or something, so you could just use that
I'm so happy to still see lego mindstorms videos show up on my feed 10+ years after I played with one as a kid.
This actually sounds awesome
This is awesome. The last time I saw a guitar like this it was an NXT brick. Thank you for being honest about the editing, and even more, owning it. This is awesome.
It was less editing and more composing. Sure, it doesn't need dexterity and muscle training of playing it live, but it does take a lot of effort to construct a cover from samples.
It's not composing if they have the sheet music or a midi file, which I hope for their sake they had available
Fantastic!!!!! As a fan of DragonForce I would say they would be happy with this cover version!
Herman will probably watch it on stream even
shitty song
This genuinely sounds like it would be in DOOM 2.
You know, now that it's edited - Technically, you know exactly how to play it!
LOVE THIS! Did not expect this from this channel!
This presumably didn't take a lot of dexterity, but I'm in awe of your editing and how you made that guitar from legos.
Took a lot of cocaine.
not dexterity but time and effort
Man out here doing the Joe Penna. Brings back memories of watching MysteryGuitarMan all those years ago. keep up to fun and wild videos man!
so the answer is you cant play it on this instrument, but you made a great, labor intensive collaboration to simulate what it would sound like.

Incredible. Imagine the skill it takes to instantaneously move your fingers to the exact note needed alongside teleporting the other hands fingers to press the buttons. True skill young man, you are certainly going places!

Must have terrible friction burns on his brick after that.
This looks and feels like the early lego animations. It's perfect.
That was an extremely faithful remake of the solo, I recognize your attention to detail and give you massive props.
Hours of editing, easily worth my 1 like. This was sick!

Do you like it?
That was epic! Great song to cover on a Lego guitar haha. Well done sir
Epic work, flows so well!!!!
I know how hard editing can be. Major respect to you sir
feels like a midi but this just makes me want to see someone train to do it entirely on their own without the magic of editing
They’d have to do the bass and drums separate
ah yeah now i realize, mayhaps a team of them then? using that device?
I made one of these guitars 5 years ago, and the sensor used to register the notes is incredibly finicky. Sometimes it doesnt read the correct distance and just plays the wrong notes.
not even dragonforce can play TTFAF live lol
Sounds really cool. Reminds me of classic background music on 8-Bit Home Computer games in the 1980's
Lego guitar is something I wanted to exist and sure enough, 8 or so months ago it had already existed.
A lot of work went into this, amazing video!
As a guitar player, this looks fun as hell to play. What's so difficult about playing it though? It honestly looks like it'd be a great teaching tool for beginner guitar players.
in the words of my favorite musician its not that its hard to play its just that the real song is over 7 minutes long so its more of an endurance test.
Shit is so difficult that in live performances (at least early ones) DF's guitarists messed it up. Get your humble bragging ass out of here, obnoxious af
I feel like I wouldn't learn anything from this
It's probably hard to move the collar fast enough without breaking the Lego blocks off unless he's done something fancy with the connections. You also probably have to be pretty precise with the movements or you'll end up playing the wrong note.
@@jamesmclemore9123Yeah it doesn't seem to be made to play something that quickly
this is cool! and its not only editing skills! you sir have a good musical understanding and a great patience 😅
this is some Mystery Guitar Man stuff, loving it
Videos like this or the steel axle break videos are one of my favourites, because its just pure humor i love it!
The crazy thing is, he didn’t have to include all of the notes whatsoever but he did adding to the editing workload, holy man, you could have just played the songs, but huge props for all that dedication you’re a legend, this sounds beautiful
If through the fire and flames was a song in classic doom
it doesnt matter how long its been i can always come back to watch BEC shred some lego guitar
The editing in this is legitimately amazing, great job!
This just makes TTFATF even more impressive. The unnatural speed at which your hands are moving to be able to play this is insane.
I'm not saying it's "easy" to play, but it's not certainly not "unnatural", at least not on a real guitar. There are a lot of excellent guitarists out there who would be able to play the song if they spent the time necessary to learn it.
"its not that bad experienced people still need to train to learn it" pick one bro
@@TheTctoocold learn what "unnatural" means, clown.
@@TheTctoocold its like that for anything if you put the time and effort you can play it just as well but maybe he should've left out the "excellent guitarist" part
@@TheTctoocold Experienced people are best for this. Your first song should never be this complex
Amazing! Cool af!
1:17 that slide tho 🤣🤣
Honestly like this more than the original, as the lyrics always kind of killed it for me. Now if only someone could convert this beautiful rendition into 8-bit.
But the real question is, would we want just an 8-bit-styled chiptune, or something that actual 8-bit hardware could (theoretically) play?
lol bad taste
