Dudes eye game is strong AF..... didnt look down once. His power level is above 9000

Legendary -8 string- guitarist.

🤣 he's like.... "i'm honored to be known as legendary among the 26 known 8 string guitarists. thanks."

Tosins eye game is also an addition to why I rate him in my top 3 guitarists of all time. Almost a wizard with his presence.

"... But sit here and stare at that beautiful piece of wood that you have in your lap" 😂👌🏼🔥

5:15 He slipped

I hope there will be an AAL song based on this interview called Double Entendre with a lot of thumping in it.

Tosin is a great inspiration. I don't see myself buying an 8 string guitar, but the way he approaches music is what i look up to the most.

15:07 did he just say “boobies” with a straight face😂 PROFESSIONAL

14:14 "play smoke on the water" HAHAHAHAHA

23:23 mans casually playing the riff of another year

She’s a great interviewer. She feels like a natural at what she does. Kept the conversation flowing, no awkward pauses, just an all around great interview. If some of the dudes in the comments can get past her boobs and acknowledge the fact that she gave one of the best interviews he’s had yet.

Because of tosin i went from only playing 6 to now owning a 7 and 2 8s hes such an inspiration

I will instantly buy an Abasi guitar as soon as there are some affordable models.

14:40 onwards tosin just couldnt hold it

"play smoke on the water..."

This interview is beyond sexual. I like it.

Before anything else, watch the 14:10 - 15:12 part, absolutely enjoyable in every aspect...

At 9:54 Tosin was like "Welllll"

Interviewer: What would you tell kids who can't afford a teacher? Interviewee: Get a teacher.

I love hearing Tosin speak. What a great ambassador for progressive music.

Tosin is caressing that guitar thought the whole interview lmaoo

Great interview with insightful questions! 😉👍

Hats off to this amazing interview. Definitely one of the best and casual I've seen with Tosin and interesting questions that cater both to beginner and advanced players. Can't believe you don't have more subs but you earned mine 👌🔥

Tosin is such an amazing guitarist and is a huge inspiration.

Mestis / Javier's stuff is so musical, it's so good

This dude is humble as fuck and I love it

The way he strokes that guitar is legendary.

This man is such a master of his instrument. I can’t express my amazement with his skill. Love how he says that he simply plays his guitar as a "stringed instrument" rather than a "guitar". First time I heard Animals as Leaders, that was exactly my thought. Btw: I dig the lighting of the scene.

The guy is arguably the best guitar player right now, period - all across the board.

God I want tosin and Evan to start a new group together!

dude's sittin crosslegged for a reason

Double D tuning. I mean Drop D

The interviewer is great. I think Tosin is smilinv cause he can sense how all his guy homies are probably going to dog him for this interview. Well played guitar world.

budget friendly abasi model? yes please! that would be epic!

Oxytosin

Aly was the best person to interview Tosin, because it was Beauty and Brains. There was Sex appeal, and education of theory from Tosin.

I really like this guy. I started listening to his old band Reflux when they were active, and had a chance to meet him years later when Animals as Leaders played at the House of Blues in Hollywood (mind blowing show by the way). As they were packing their stuff into their carrier sometime after the show had ended, a couple of my friends and I were able to walk up to him and simply introduce ourselves and shake his hand, while showing appreciation for his talent and performance. He was very welcoming, and he even took time to introduce someone he was with.. a female who I never found out her relations with him. Very pretty and exotic female of African descent. Super humble guy, good eye contact, ears were receptive and he really connected with us, even though our time was brief. A very inspiring guy.

Love his composure

dont know wether tosin was smitten for this chick or if she is the best interviewer ever but i aint ever seen this man sound more open and comfortable

this is actually a great interview here. more please!

Excellent interview, this is definitely where you learn to not judge a book by its cover

Damn she’s a cup of hot tea.

i hope more awesome interviews are coming. this is actually what i wondered.. where this dude's playing style comes from.. answer.. everywhere...

That was a great interview. Thank you very much. I have such mad respect for Abasi, even though it's not my kind of music, but his skills are undeniably insane.

This guy is a guitar nerd in the best sense! Also, Al Di Meola is from NJ, not Spain!

Intelligent. Charming. Talented. Driven. Handsome as fuck. Isn't he the whole package?

Very good questions. I hope there will be more interviews.

Her interview was also like a down to earth conversation. Very cool!

Her: “when you use your signature style of thumping” Tosin: “Mm-hmm”

he talks so humble it's strange to me.. i would probably have a huge ego in his shoes. thats cool as.

this is the most professional flirting i've ever seen, tosin is a fucking master

Great interview Aly! Thanks!

Surprised you don’t even have 500 subs this is such a good interview!

Strong eye game comes from solid peripheral vision.

Awesome interview!

Awesome, thanks.

"Mahavishna"

Rack mount

Tosin is a beast!

The skill this man possesses is unreal.

28:03 You know what she wants to do with them fingers

These comments are GOLD!!! 😂😂😂

great content

Love the interview! Want to see your studying Abasi technic

great interview.

Oh Tosin, The first time I looked into your eyes I cried Do you remember the first time...

i started dying the second the camera was on tosin LOL

If she breathes

That's my nigga! biggest inspiration though.. I love that dude

Tosin's thumb technique always reminds me of Shane Gibson's (RIP) "Glitch Picking" technique. Awesome guitarist, and one of the first "KZfaq" guitarists who really caught my ear.

Great interview !

nahhh bruh, no man can do that. caught him slippin at @15:17

23:21 fuck, I was watching the interview and playing that part form “another year” at the same time he started playing it.

The most amazing guy...!

Aly... That outfit is awesome just certain assets become very prominent and hard to focus unless I put my phone down. Great interview. Washingtonians are from the state. You guys are from d.c. You'd be surprised how many people get confused by that

First time coming across this girl, really good at interviews!

When it comes down to how to practice effectively, Devin Townsend said it best: "Speed is a by-product of accuracy. If you pay attention to every note sounding clean and articulate as possible, rather than just speed for the sake of speed, it'll come to you eventually, and once it does, you'll see that playing fast, wanky bullshit isn't all it was hyped up to be in the first place. It's actually pretty fucking boring."

Pretty cool this interview happened at MVG

Awesome interview

"If you have boobies it's useful as well." - Tosin Abasi Great interview. Aly knows her stuff!

the cutaway question made every guitarist sweat you

Awesome interview Aly, great job! It was really great to listen to! I was wondering, do you have a favorite Animals As Leaders song?

Hey, I look fot the THUMB! dvd is not available anymore in guitar messenger... where can I get it??

poor al..... Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, into an Italian family with roots in Cerreto Sannita, a small town northeast of Naples

the focus is too strong damn he good

why this video never on guitar world channel?

Great interview...... Legendary musician.......and a beautiful interviewer.

Tosin should do a professional masterclass DVD, even now...

Why did this channel stop posting? I can't imagine there being a lack of interested interviewees 😂

I approve this couple!

She can interview me anytime..

She’s a great interviewer. Knew her shit. And she’s fucking hot as fuck.

The top 3 comments are the first 3 thoughts I had.

I bet she plays in the Drop Bra tuning :P

She knew what she was doing 😂😂

15:07. So smooth...

I was wondering, why are you, Aly, responding to people saying there were underlying sexual innuendos in this one? I mean, it's obvious to me that there were none, but even if there were any, you are not obliged to defend yourself. At least, I wouldn't.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when he starts thumping
