Looking at what Christian does here, many people will have a hard time to learn those tabs, because of huge amount of tears dropping constantly and involuntary.
Exactly, he has been in Necrophagist, Obscura, and for me in the best Spawn of Possesion album, Incurso. And have done a lot of collabs with bands like Gorod, First Fragment... He is pretty underrated :(
The most "trademark" thing of his, to me, is his legato + tapping.. he can make such looong asc-/descending runs, filling in a ton of notes without touching the pick!
@@ICANSEEDEADHORIZONS I think it's both magic glove and power of having letter ü in the last the name. Well, and thousands of hours of practice, always forget about that minor detail 😀
@@user-ug3hh6so6n it’s probably likely, most bands do these days. Here it’s just the audio from the album, not his playing in the video. I have no doubts he can play this, but maybe not that squeaky clean.
It’s honestly so impressive how Christian has been able to adjust his style given his condition, such a hard working musician. Also that RG is friggin beautiful, proud to say I have a very similar 652 model
@@sayanmandal2246 not a 100% sure about it, but as I read and listen from other people with the condition, the pressure generated by the gloves helps stop the fingers from twitching and trembling too much so that chances of his finger being contracted are reduced.
Chris' playing on Cosmogenesis changed my approach to guitar. I've been a fan of everything he touches since then. And he just keeps getting better, incredible.
Я позже на Obscura с Крисом попал. Через Necrophagist в 2020. Так бывает. И тоже полное переформатирование. Я счастлив, что в моём времени есть такой композитор! ✊
Thank you for this comment, I was wondering why he use a glove, but I guess it has something to do with his disease. I love Obscura but I dont know much about the dudes, other than they all are extremely talented of course
All you need to sweep cleanly is a decent lead tone with not too much gain, a noise gate (which doesnt affect the sound when you're actually playing a note), and a good technique. He's also using the neck pickup for the solo. You don't need to heavily chop anything. (Also please do not turn the volume knob on your guitar to max.)
@@lashedandscorned Why not have volume at max... Always been curious about this, I can understand with like EMGs but as someone who uses passives, why not.
This guy next to Justin McKinney is like the unsung hero of technical death metal. Played in Spawn of Possession, Necrophagist, and now Obscura? Dude's a fucking legend.
I wished i could sell my soul for these guitar skills but sadly i am a redhead. On a more serious note this makes me happy. Happy that there is a new album, happy that Christian is back and happy that he found a way to still play guitar on a top master level despite the condition. If you read this Christian: you rock, i wish you tons of guitar related fun that is not spoiled by the condition.
Dude is ten times the guitarist I'll ever be, without even having the use of his middle finger. So damn inspiring how he worked through what would have stopped most musicians in their tracks. Insanely good album too.
@@clem_chret He has focal dystonia. I believe the glove allows him a little use of his middle finger, but without it, he basically had to relearn guitar with one less finger. Here you can tell the way he uses it less and the position it's in that his hand still has some issues.
@@Circaninesix Inkniw his condition but I though it concerned his whole hand. But yeah about his middle finger, it seems he is using it less then we would do but he is using it :)
Such a sick player and sick song! And can we talk about how on point those sweeps are with the rhythm of the double bass at 0:54, 1:58, and 3:28?? just mind blowing how they can keep in sync with each other so cleanly like that 🤯
I just saw Obscura last night in Calgary and I was at the front not even two feet away from Christian and I was absolutely blown away when Solaris was being played and whenever he would play a lead. Truly inspiring
Brilliant is an understatement, the riffing is mind-blowing. His ability to cleanly switch between down-picks, up-picks and alternates, plus sweeps in a superbly seamless fashion is incredible.
From 2:41 to 2:58 i have evidenced the most amazing neoclassical arpeggio runs i would love to know the chord progression there there was so much tension carried OMG Bach in neoshred😍😌
I've been waiting for it since the song was released. It's very awesome!! Your technique is unique and so much clean. I feel good to see that your left hand is working on progress. Keep doing it!! 🤘🏼
Loving the sonics of this record (along with the crushing riffs I've heard so far). So crisp and clear with a #savage low end. 😏 Can clearly hear everything going on. 👊 Great playthrough Christian!

Are the tabs available as guitar pro files?
Christian plays at 75% better than most players at 100%
And with Focal Dystonia
A true tech death legend...his contribution to modern tech death is unmatched..

@@thordurinn oh god Alkaloid is one of my favourite and I forgot It xD
Não é apenas o verdadeiro, mas sim o mais técnico, melodico e bem construído.
100%.
WE LOVE YOU, CHRISTIAN
Muenzner's sweeps are so clean. The chops are insane

He plays insanely, its a fact..
But I have my doubts If he plays só clean like that, or the magic edition tools helped him archive this sound
He had a good teacher hehe

(oops, sorry, didn't notice you edited with that information too)

Christian always been a complete inspiration since Necrophagist and now to see his level of playing evolve despite focal dystonia is simply the best

You just love to see those hands working at such optimal capacity, after Münzner's disease (focal dystonia)
@@chopholtz4950 Oh, I meant "after" being diagnosed with it, and having to find a way to adapt to it - sorry.
I agree. He's a fucking beast that doesn't give up.
That harmonized part with the neapolitan & diminished chords is really cool as well.

@@ericweelie9465 The glove helps against the contractions in one of his fingers on the left hand iirc.
Man, those sweeps are so on point they almost sound like MIDI.
Clean as heck, but heavily chopped/edited and gated for sure.

At first I thought "holy cow, this dude has practiced so much that his hand skin has loosened a lot". Then I realized it was a glove.
That Power Metal solo is godlike! I haven't been this excited for an Obscura release since Omnivium!

Brilliant is an understatement, the riffing is mind-blowing. His ability to cleanly switch between down-picks, up-picks and alternates, plus sweeps in a superbly seamless fashion is incredible.
Damn!!! Amazing!!!
Holy shit, that was orgasmic. The songwriting, musicianship and production quality is incredible. I can't wait for this album!
From 2:41 to 2:58 i have evidenced the most amazing neoclassical arpeggio runs i would love to know the chord progression there there was so much tension carried OMG Bach in neoshred😍😌
Can you indicate Bach songs that sound like this? I just know the fugue in Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
A fucking glove while playing.... next level Christian
Flawless 🔥 🖤
No wayyyy. Finally !
I've been waiting for it since the song was released. It's very awesome!! Your technique is unique and so much clean. I feel good to see that your left hand is working on progress. Keep doing it!! 🤘🏼
He always makes it look so effortless
Impecable!
Masterclass!!
Great!!
This made my day 😍❤️
It blows my mind how anyone can be this good at guitar.
Brutal!
Just Perfect composition and playing 🤘
i keep coming back to this so often, i think this is going to be one of my all time tech death songs of the century, ngl
Awesome
This is the best obscura song in a while, so stoked to see Christian and Jeroen again. I can’t wait to learn this one.
NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING!
Excellent!
Awesome as always!!! My favorite guitar player of all time!! Can't wait to your next single!!!!

The guitar work on these 3 new songs is completely out of this world!

Fuck that was one of coolest videos I've ever seen, what a killer song. insane performance by mighty Christian as always.
Unreal!
Up down up down.Boom!
Verry awesome playing, lovely ibanez🤩
A true master

Very impressive as usual! Christian Guitar style Is very unique!
Genius
Love the "At the Gates" hint in there.
this guy is so insane!!! lucky I found his works in CZcams a couple months ago... can't stop listening to this
First the gardening, then the shredding
This guy kicks ass!
Melhor do mundo!
christian is aweinspiring!great band too cheers
I'm crippled if I have a glove in the same room while practicing my guitar! let alone wearing one :D
One of my absolute favorite guitarists & imo one of few modern tech death metal bands that stands out
Holy fuck . Well that’s a masterpiece
🔥🔥🔥
Beast 👍
