Hello you lovelies. Hope you find this one useful! Master the math rock finger tapping technique here 👉 bit.ly/3zKIcTY

One other thing. The chorus where I’m playing the chords under the lead, is actually a 12 string Rickenbacker! That’s what gives it that almost phaser, but not quite sound. Overall, phenomenal breakdown of one of my prouder moments in songwriting! :) 🤘🎸

Hey man! Thanks for taking the time to analyze my song. That crazy effect I’m using all over and for the middle breakdown is an FM-4 filter/synth/mod by line 6. A couple effects I actually built myself within the pedal. It’s interesting seeing the song broken down so musically I thoroughly enjoyed it and keep up the good work mate!!! - Thomas Erak (The Fall of Troy)

Next episode should be American Football - Never Meant (if you wanna start the series with the big 'classics' of math rock)

That riff was like what got me into math rock its so good

This is honestly the first math-rock song I ever listened to back when I was like 10 and guitar hero 3 came out, at the time I didn’t really care about this song in guitar hero but over time playing that game for hundreds of hours it grew on me. I didn’t even know this was mathrock, I didn’t find out till I started to do a shit ton of research into mathrock back when i found Chon in like 2013 and started to look into all the bands we know today in mathrock that are awesome.

I agree with everyone else, I’d love to see more of this series. Thanks for all the hard work.

Fall or Perfect pillow by Chon Could go from Fall of Troy to Fall by Chon lol Great series idea this genre needs more recognition.

Gibbon by TTNG or Lake Sprinkle Sprankle by Delta Sleep

I'd love to hear you do some more stuff from Doppelganger in specific, I think it's genuinely my favorite album of all time and I'd love to hear Mouths Like Sidewinder Missiles

Imo you should do Goodbye by toe next.

Just one word about this series, Steve - MORE!!!

And yes, Manipulator is a masterpiece, glad someone shares the same sentiment

Brother... This is incredibly well done. As a huge fan of TFOT, and a person struggling to self teach himself all of the details of music theory, this is something I have been looking ever since I started learning music theory. What an incredible breakdown. You earned my sub. If you ever just want to finish out that album, or any other of theirs (except the album that shall not be named), I would be eternally grateful. Keep up the excellent work man!

You should do one of Algernon Cadwalladers songs! Something from some kind of Cadwallader

I really started to notice it lately but the slapback delay on vocals is so awesome and cozy in a way and it's cause it reminds me of being little and being at festivals or carnivals or faires and hearing live bands for the first time and it had that same sound as a live band it feels more human less polished I guess but it's brilliant definitely something I'd like to do with vocals. Also more stuff like this would be so rad

Now do wacko jacko! Lol we’d be here for 45 minutes

So many great songs you could check out for a series like this. Really enjoyed this video!! Hope to see some algernon, glocca morra, or marietta in future videos! Keep up the good work Steve

This is a great idea and I can't wait to see more! Keep it up!

Super awesome analysis for one of my fav math rock tracks.

Great content! What an absolute classic this song is!

Certainly enjoyed this a lot. Do more of these! I love how you uncovered the little nuances lost in the mix and the breakdown of each section. Learning the song and simultaneously learning about the song is good fun. Where did you get file? My vote for next track is something off Juturna from Circa Survive.

I think one thing for you should be to not only record your mic, but also record the sound output of your pc, so the sample are clearer

This entire album is what inspired me to play guitar

Not even especially related to this video but youre the most sympathetic person i've seen on youtube

I would love more of these breakdown series!

One of my most nostalgic songs by far. Just hearing that intro brings me back

Playing this since 2016 and i didn't even know wtf I was playing since today, ¡Amazing video! Hope you get to the top of KZfaq one day

Loving this! Keep up this good work, would be awesome to see a breakdown of a Tera Melos track.

I love ricks series and I love this too! I've wanted him to do tfot for ages (I don't know if he knows of them or not) so it was class to see this in my recommended and it sure delivered! In terms of other songs maybe like bubble dream and perfect pillow by chon, and (given a bit of time since you've already done an episode on them) more tfot would be cool

I just started watching your channel yesterday, will get alot of views from me,lol..love it man,keep it up. And Rick won't mind,I'm sure you guys will be able to do your own thing and not step on his toes. Even if he did the same song once in awhile would be cool to see diff views on the same song once in awhile. Anyways, I'm also new into math Rock, but I've been a musician for a few decades..mainly just punk and metal..but I split my practice between drums,guitar,and bass, and record at home. If you ever need help with bass lines I may be able to oblige. Anyways, Faraquet is my recommendation for songs to cover,and would have to be their most popular song that you already had in your vid of 5 best intros from 99 to 07. Cut Self Not. They are the first band that got me into this stuff,so I am brand new to this genre, so anyone that reads this feel free to make recommendations for bands for me. Keep in mind I'm open to all math Rock bands, but I def prefer the more aggro ones more..atleast for now,which us why I'm on this video,lol. This songs pretty aggressive yet still has those "math Rock chords " and feel to math Rock totally. I know of Don Cab, Lynx, Battles, American Football, and Blink 182 as math Rock bands already. Let me know of others to check out.thanks!! (If you didn't automatically click off this post whenisaid Blink 182 I'd be shocked, lol..was a joke of course.😁)

Great video as always

You ABSOLUTELY have to do They Speak with Strange Accents by This Town Needs Guns. AMAZING song. That whole EP is AWESOME

Finally you do this series Steve. Please do Melody 2, 4 or 5 from Tera Melos next

You should totally do Lake Sprinkle Sprankle or any Tiny Moving Parts song!

act one, scene one would be awesome too

I love attempting to play this song in Rocksmith.

Most people don't know is that in intro riff, thomas does a quick tremolo chug between switching chords. If you watch live versions of FCP you can see him doing it.

Slint - Breadcrumb Trail next!

Great serie !

The sound of animals fighting, a lot like birds, the number 12 looks like you, fear before the march of flames!!

Not really math rock but I recommend ling tosite sigure's（凛として時雨） Kankaku ufo(感覚UFO)

Dope vid!

I know you probably have a lot of artists to cover besides Fall of Troy, but if you ever do another song by them I'd love to see one on I Just Got This Symphony Going.

Please make the next Fall of Troy song Cut Down All the Trees and Name the Streets After Them

Hey man, love the idea. I would LLOOVVEE you to analyse Floral Aquarius Theater. Cheers!

Lmao, I love how in this live when the song plays you look like your trying really hard not to band your head and scream the words. Big mood

I'd love to see at the drive in or brand new in this series

I love this

Do more FOT breakdowns!

Only suggestion I have is to break down the vocal line as well. Great breakdown!

Awesome idea! Can you do an episode on Tiny Moving Parts?

Any song by Three Trapped Tigers would be interesting to hear about!

Try Trident tail by tera melos . Their best song in my humble opinion.

Very cool vídeo. Would be great if the volume of the song and its different parts were higher in the next video.

Would love to see an analysis of Spy Turtle/Spy Dolphin by Delta Sleep as a longer episode someday

What kind of software are you using to isolate the parts? I could see that being VERY helpful in practice sessions!

Please keep this series going! One bit of feedback for next time - the audio playback from the song is waaaaay too quiet and muddy. I know you’re using the ambient sound of your speakers playing the song back in the room, but I think it’d go a loooong way towards getting to Rick Beato’s level if you either mic up your speakers, or overdub the clips from the song in post-production.

nice job

please more!

Very cool that you listen to Enter Shikari

Next song: Bygones - Click On That - Smash The Plastic Death. Thanks man!

FUCK YESSSS, didn't watch yet, but i know it's gonna be amazing. You tricked me tho, i rly thought it would be Rick Beato i was like 'the hell? he knows TFOT??' Hahaha, anyways, gonna watch now :)

If you want to do another The Fall of Troy song, could you take a look at A Man a Plan a Canal Panama?

Do never meant by americ anfootball next

Suggestions: Never Meant by American Football Gibbon by TTNG Goodbye by Toe One Armed Scissor by At the Drive In

Please do Foxing!

Do you have a discord server or something? It'd be nice to communicate with others who are really into emo and math rock.

Peggy by Orchards

Great do Shellac next

なるほど。大変勉強になったんだな。 というか、後ろにDelta Sleepがある。

How did you separate the tracks?

wow this was epic

8:49 If you sing the chorus along with this part it sounds like a country song lmao

All We Need Is A Little Bit Of Energon by MMISL or Unicorns by Colour!

I'd suggest dissecting temple by floral, it was my favorite song for a while but you should probably do more well know stuff

You should check out the band Monobody

You should do an episode on "Sianvar's Omniphobia or sick machine"

This song = big nutt

Great video. One armed scissor next would be a good choice

Hello Steve. Do you by chance know of any good luthier in Korea than can fix up a few guitars? I got my Godin and Tele set up at a music shop and it has ruined the action. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

🔥

You should also talk more about the rhythm! Especially that weird 3/16 bar at the end of every phrase in the bridge

If you ever come back to this do some algernon!

How to get a harmonic squeal without a plectrum??

Please do Lake Sprinkle Sprankle by Delta Sleep!!!!

Do soothsayer by buckethead!!

Dope

Pretend needs to be on this channel at some point

Do shibuya by covet

The vocals don't actually get pitch shifted down and up at the end in the official song (I just checked on iTunes), maybe you got a slightly weird version of the tracks?

Do A jack with one eye by texas is the reason next..

And I told them I Invented Times New Roman by Dance Gavin Dance

Next Perfect Pillow - CHON please

ok paul beato i see you

My maaaaannn

Stage Kids - Cyniculture if you mind please

All I have to say is: Yvette Young

Moooooooorreeee

Do mooooooooreeeeeee
