Through The Fire And Flames Guitar Pro



Through the Fire and Flames. Jay Bocook & Will Rapp - Hal Leonard Corporation. Click to review. Recorded by the speed-metal rock band 'Dragonforce,' fans of 'Guitar Hero III' will recognize this as the monstrously outrageous and ultimate rock track. Including simulated screaming guitar licks, be sure to crank this up and play it loud! My online career began when I uploaded a cover of DragonForce’s ‘Through the Fire and Flames’ in October of 2009. Right in the peak hype of Guitar Hero III. After uploading, I thought nothing of it until someone at my high school came up to me in the halls and told me: “Man! Your video has over 100,000 views.

Here is Cole Rolland’s presentation of his video and some advice on how to learn this classic masterpiece on an electric guitar:

Canon Rock is a very special video for me. I remember watching a creator by the name of FunTwo
post his cover of Canon Rock around 2006. It quickly became the first viral guitar video on the internet, inspiring many musicians, including myself. I created my ‘reimagined version’ of the JerryC arrangement in late 2018 with my own production and personal twists on the iconic guitar piece.

Cole’s advice on how to play the song

My assessment of this song is that it is at an intermediate-advanced level of playing. The most iconic sections of the arrangement, being the chorus and the intro, are easily playable for almost all skill levels. It’s a very recognizable piece.

When it comes to more complex sections like the verse, fills/transitions and the main solo:

I love to slow the tabs down the 25-50%, become very familiar with the notes and patterns, and develop muscle memory as I gradually work my way up to full speed. The majority of the piece is at 200bpm which makes some of the sixteenth and triplet sixteenth patterns tough to master.

Summary: practice with a metronome at half tempo, and work your way up as you become more familiar with each section.

Cole Rolland is a Guitar Pro user

I’ve been an avid user of Guitar Pro for nearly a decade and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an interactive way to write and learn songs. I learn a new song every week for my YouTube channel. Thankfully, there has almost always been an accurate Guitar Pro tab available online to expedite my learning process and help me deliver my content as quickly as possible to my audience.


I also tab out every video I create for YouTube and I have become so familiar with the Guitar Pro interface that I am able to work extremely efficiently to create these in a timely manner.


Guitar Pro has been a very regular part of my work for years. It saves me so much time on a daily basis knowing that I can accurately and interactively learn a song at various speeds. It allows me to share songs of my own with other musicians, giving them insight into my mindset during the writing process of a Cole Rolland original.

Why does Cole like Guitar Pro 7.5?

For my personal use, some of my favorite workflow improvements in Guitar Pro 7.5 include:
The ability to ‘click to edit’ elements of your score. This is an upgrade that I always wished existed, and now it does! It allows me to work much faster and more efficient knowing I can just click on an element to change it instead of searching for the correct icon in the sidebar.
The ability to search your hard disk for any existing Guitar Pro files. I typically am very organized but on the off chance that I save something in a different location by accident, or I want to have a consolidated view of all of my projects; this feature is a time saver that is beneficial the longer you use the software.

My online career began when I uploaded a cover of DragonForce’s ‘Through the Fire and Flames’ in October of 2009. Right in the peak hype of Guitar Hero III. After uploading, I thought nothing of it until someone at my high school came up to me in the halls and told me:

“Man! Your video has over 100,000 views. That’s insane”.

It was at this point that I decided to start uploading more regularly. Over the past 10 years, I’ve been able to collaborate with major artists in my scene, play shows for crowds of 5000+ people, work with dream brands of mine, and meet some of my best friends. It’s all because I decided to post a video on the internet one day and I couldn’t be more grateful.

The song peaked at #86 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #61 on the Canadian Hot 100 in 2008.[1] It also enjoyed briefly renewed popularity in March 2015 when a cover version uploaded to YouTube became popular, sending the song to number 13 on the Rock Songs chart. It has sold 1.1 million copies in the United States alone and has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.[2][3]

'Through the Fire and Flames' has also appeared in several video games. In the Guitar Hero rhythm game series, the song first featured in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock as an unlockable bonus song, and later appeared in Guitar Hero Smash Hits and Guitar Hero Live. The song also featured in Rocksmith 2014.[4] It is a playable song in Konami's band session arcade games GuitarFreaks and DrumMania V6, and part of the soundtrack for Brütal Legend.

Composing and recording[edit]

Through The Fire And Flames Chords

This song is written in the key of C minor (but in standard E tuning), and like most other DragonForce songs it is written in a fast tempo of 200 beats per minute with a common time signature (170bpm in the first half of the guitar solo). Near the end of the recording, guitarist Herman Li broke one of his guitar strings.[6] Despite this, the band decided to keep this recording and left it on the final album version.[6]

Music video[edit]

Guitar

The track was used in the first music video by DragonForce. For the video, a shortened version of the song was used, lasting only five minutes.

The simple video primarily shows the band performing the song in a dark room illuminated by amber lights. After the rapid intro riff, guitarist Herman Li holds onto his Ibanez S series guitar with just the whammy bar. During the guitar solos, the camera focuses on Li and Sam Totman alone, with an inset shot of the current player's fretboard. During Li's solos, Totman stands to Li's left drinking. At the start of the solo, a Pac-Man sound is played by Li, after which he throws the whammy bar he used to make this sound into the air.

The music video circulated through YouTube and various music video channels, including MTV2, and was shown on the monitor screens during the band's performances at Ozzfest 2006.
