Quite the choice of starter song for AAL. That's like "I have never tried hot sauce before, should I start with this Carolina Reaper stuff?"

@Prophes0r 2 ай бұрын

It's so hard to actually PICK a good "First AaL song" for people. It's kinda a personalized choice. What kind of insanity has this person heard before. Like, you don't hand your mom CAFO and ask what she thinks. I mean, unless your mom is in a prog metal band...

in my opinion which doesn't matter at all Tosin and Javier are easily in the top 5 guitarists of the current generation and Tosin maybe even all time! I completely agree with your comment hahaha

There are many talented guitarists out there in the world but it would take the average person some actual work and research to find someone better than Tosin Abasi.

For guitar week you should most definitely look at 'Look but Don't Touch' by Polyphia. There's a video of the two guitarists playing with a backing track that's more than worth the watch.

@dakrisis 3 жыл бұрын

Even with both Tosin and Javier both playing 8-string guitars, they do track bass guitar in the studio and they play it in the backing track along with the synths and other effects. That's because even on a 8-string guitar you don't produce the frequencies that a bass guitar would in terms of volume and fullness.

@Prophes0r 2 ай бұрын

They use pitch shifting pedals when playing live. In one of the videos you can even see Javier has 2x outputs on his guitar, one for the low 2 string pickups, one for the other 6. He can toggle the low strings down an octave(or more?) while continuing to play rhythm.

Cheers from Texas. There is a band like this called Chimp Spanner. If you want to keep the instrumental train continuing, their song "The Mirror" is a great intro this band. They have sequels of songs that build off the last ones. Reaction or in your spare time, check this one out. Enjoying the reactions. I'll get you all a pint sometime.

Are you guys going to do a drum week also ? I think it would be awesome . Suggestions -Matt Garstka (Animals As Leaders) "Tooth and Claw" -Eloy Casagrande (Sepultura) - Means To An End [Drum Cam] -Tomas Haake (Meshuggah) - Bleed - Wincent Drumsticks -Neil Peart (Rush) Drum Solo - Live in Frankfurt -Danny Carey (Tool) Pneuma (LIVE IN CONCERT) Thanks !

AAL I one of my absolute favorites! While this track is incredible I agree with what one of you guys said and it's sort of hard to listen to when you know nothing about them. I'd highly suggest some other tracks, maybe the brain dance, cafo, tooth and claw, physical education. those are all incredible tracks that really showcase all 3 of the band members skills

It's kinda funny you mentioned that you knew AAL was a technical band with guitars & stuff. But this track is one of their more 'tame' ones. If you listen to something like "The Brain Dance," you'll get a lot more technical playing from all 3.

@victorlandon7915 3 жыл бұрын

And honestly, the tone and mix from this performance was pretty bad (by AAL standards at least). And Tosin's improv parts felt pretty half-assed.

@Dethraxx 3 жыл бұрын

Tbh, Artithmophobia is way harder and more technical to play on the drums than "The Brain Dance" and the guitar part is debatable, depends on how proficient you are at classical guitar. Arithmophobia may seem simpler if you listen to the individual tracks, but if you actually try to play this song in a band it becomes 1000x harder.

@clarkem4119 3 жыл бұрын

I think that one would be a better starter tune to ease people into AAL. Or The Future That Awaited Me, or The Woven Web. Arithmophobia is a great track but it is seldom melodic, and could scare off people who have not yet become accustomed to the sound. I feel the same about CAFO.
