There are also short videos on the Tekniikan Maailma web page.
 
that's funny how Alexi tries the first sweep and there's some strings that don't even arrive to sound,:lol:

Thanks for sharing valkokukka! do you maybe know what was their response on the gear?

I don't know their's but I've tried the guitar they're standing with in the pics and the one is playing Roope in his vid and even though they're better than the usual Stratocopy Behringer shit(I had one and I've not stopped hating it still,:lol:)the're :erk:even though that in the vids they must be plugged into some decent amp,because a cheap 15W amp won't sound like that,as I think you do know:lol:

There were lot of guys judging the guitars so I don't know which were Alexi's and Roope's comments but I quickly translated overall results. (I suck at guitar terms so if something sounds really weird it's just probably my translation :D.)
