Dragonforce - Through Fire and Flames

[-Eyeless-]

I am challenging myself to learn this song by the end of this school term...

So far the intro and first easy bit I have nailed...

Anyone else know how to play this song? Or got any tips?

If I complete my challenge I will put a video up on youtube...

Watch that...

[-Eyeless-]

Electric Guitar :P Not guitar Hero although that would be cool...

[Mr.Sam]

good luck on the part after 20 seconds :P

[Fifteen]

I well love this song :)
Good luck with the massive solo

[-Eyeless-]

good luck on the part after 20 seconds :P

can play up to 40 seconds of the video I put the link to.

[jesus]

look on a tab website, practice 24/7 and you'll probably get it done within about half a year!

Well I already planned all of that I have the tab on powertab editor, I doubt I will do it by the end of this school term anyway, I dont have time, cos of GCSE Mocks and stuff, but I thought It would be fun to try :P

Yea I was told by my guitar teacher that if I really want to do it then I should just not give up and keep trying. Also taking it slowly then building up the speed helps me a lot :D

[zeJosh]

A brilliant song choice!
A Challenge I must say! Very good luck to you.

Ehm, unfortunately I cannot give any tips.. but I can tell you that I now love you, and that you've quickly risen to one've my favourite forum members in a matter of secs

GratZ br0.

No really, Dragonforce are my favourite band, so much respect & rep for you ;p

[samsaBEAR]

so by learning through the fire and flames, you are in fact learning the whole of the album it is on. it all sounds exactly the same.
but yeh, good luck. i can only just play it on medium on guitar hero. :D

Thanks a lot for all the support lol, I haven't had a chance to learn much more this evening as I have been doing a play rehearsal (I am a VERY promiscuous girl, But as the cast is all male I will have to shave my legs :() lol So I will start learning the hard bits tomorrow... And Redneck I agree it is an awesome feeling when you nail a really good song at full speed for the first time :P

[Everlong]

Goos luck, that would be impresive, not heard much from dragonforce lately though.

[-Eyeless-]

Probably because of the Black Crusade tour they have just been on... :P

[Awfy]

I love this song, my friend Bob (yes that really is his name, although it does sound like one of those sarcastic moments...) is trying to compose an acoustic version of the song. It's quite possible that he will do it as he is a rythmic guitar player, so he can do loads of different sounds with the guitar as he's playing. Which should allow him to play all the weird sounds that apper in the song :P

However, Guitar Hero is a different kettle of fish altogether. I can crack it on Medium but then Hard comes along and I can't keep up. My friend can almost do it when we are playing online game, even though he lives next door :l

[Camy]

Good luck with this, tis a very gd song :)

Not wishing to be rude about bob... but I highly doubt he will be able to recreate Through the Fire and Flames effectively, if you watch the video you will see that it is highly dependent on the set-up of an electric guitar. You can't even recreate the sound on a medium price guitar. As I have found out from trying to learn it. Herman Lee and Sam Totman both have VERY specialized guitars.

Trust me, Bob is a genius with an acoustic. If you know Newton Faulkner it's along the lines of that, just a lot faster. As he practises percission playing constantly, getting every chord perfect and working out how to get a beat as well as strum at the same time. It's amazing when you watch him.

;@

They do not all sound exactly the same.. that's only to people who have had the briefest listen they can.

Say you've listened to the album, and I'll believe you. Means nothing ;p
Say you've listened to it lots and I won't ;D

;< Sam & Herman would be insulted.

;< Sam & Herman would be insulted.

Sam probably wouldn't know what was going on considering his drinking problem... lol

[Swearwolf]

[-Eyeless-]

Doubt it lol I have seen the video of them live at donnington 2007, looked amazing :P

yeah download xD i was there, good luck

[Coheed&Cambria]

My fave song :D

Lol, when i met the guys after the black crusade, i asked herman and sam for any tips on playing there songs and sam told me not to play with my teeth? Well, since it was after the show, they where probz ****** out of there heads lol.

I can do the intro, but not at the speed herman does.

[-Eyeless-]

I can do the intro and main rythm OK atm thats all at the speed of herman but tbh I will not finish it by the end of this term because of GCSE stuff...

[Tranquilox]

good luck :D
