Sounds like a happy birthday song to you mate. Stay safe

good song to crash your car to tbh

That is one of my favorite TFoT songs of all time. I love the video of them rehearsing it.

@@voteZDLR Yea such a good video

If Thomas makes it look easy, then it's fucking over

Better than hendrix.

spitting fax

Good fucking luck. As a guitarist of 20 years, this dude is fucking nuts.

@@thejosie I've been playing most of the tracks on the doppelganger and manipulator albums and I've been playing for 4 years and haven't really touched guitar much the past year of that. You have to practice this stuff even if it feels way out of your skill range. The first 3 songs I learned were black hole sun, to tool's schism and vicarious, then proceeded to learn like 15 of the tool songs and got sick of the bluesy style and wanted to go more towards dissonance and complex chord voicings. People seemed floored that I could play schism with 3 months of experience but it really wasn't as hard as people assume it is. On year two I started learning fall of Troy, novelists, karnivool, some polyphia riffs, really anything that sounded unique and challenging. Had a Midwest emo math phase around the time of starting with TFOT too. Would bang my head against the same songs for months at a time until I finally could sweep pick, tap, hybrid pick, and throw my guitar between all the open and drop tunings by ear. I don't think starting off easy and ramping up makes people better because it prevents them from building their foundations and style on more advanced music and can reinforce bad habits since they won't show themselves as a limiting factor in a lot of music

@@thejosie to add to that, my friend I got into guitar the same month or so I started is playing plini all day on a 7 string strandberg, and we basically learned all the same music together in the first two years. Take a crack at this stuff and you might be surprised once you commit it to muscle memory and really break down the factors that are making a certain riff difficult. For TFOT, Plini, or a lot of these prog/math artists, you have to buy a tab book to get tabs that are even remotely accurate, or painstakingly dissect the way they're playing it in a slow motion video

The Fall of Troy tabs are notoriously wrong. I wish these videos were around like ten years ago when I was trying to learn some of their stuff. I got halfway through learning Ex-Creations, the tab for that one is pretty good actually.

@Overlord Audiobooks Exactly. And even then it's still really difficult. He's mostly self taught, even though his Dad was a professional session musician I believe for the Eagles and almost even played with bands like Heart. So he had that, but his Dad at the same time also kinda discouraged him from trying to be a professional musician, which failed obviously lol. But I mean he's almost like Hendrix in that regard where being a self-taught genius has that effect where you end up reinventing the way the instrument is played, potentially, because nobody ever showed you "the right way".

you know Thomas has released official transcriptions you can buy that include guitar pros for the guitars right? they are obviously 100% accurate as they are lovingly made by Thomas and i can confirm they are like 100% real fucking deal legit wizard spellbooks

@@aguy4459 I probably should get them, they may be the only way to learn them properly.

@@Z_E_B_O its not exactly the same in the video because I think Thomas made a few changes overtime to the song. The tab book is only for the studio version
