Here's a solo piece I wrote inspired by this wonderful design collaboration with @ernieball MusicMan. This thing came out killer and I can't wait for you guys to get your hands on one! Head over to www.music-man.... to pre-order! Cheers!
There’s a couple penta licks throughout their catalog. Usually interspersed with more spicy stuff so it hits different. Javier the other guitar player is really good with more soulful stuff like that as well
I love Tosin, but his sound is just a lot of well established classical concepts that used to be as popular as pop music is now. If anything, I view him like a musical historian breathing new life into old concepts.
@@reboooot lol you can say that about any musical concept, that all artists are just breathing new life into what has already been established, but there has not been another musician in history that has propelled so many other musicians to take up a number of diverse techniques and approaches to an instrument like Tosin has. "historians" don't inspire like that. Pioneers do.
Beautiful playing as always my guy. Although honestly, I’m still perplexed by the existence of this guitar, and even more perplexed that it doesn’t come in an 8 string model…😅
Same. Tiniest multiscale fan ever. Only 7 string. Seems very limited in what it can do for an exhorbitant price. The whole project is like if apple designed a guitar.
My guess is Tosin wanted to present something a bit more approachable for anyone new to his design aesthetic. He probably was curious to see if he could work out something with one less string on it LOL. If there's enough demand I'm sure an eight string model will come to the market.
I was half-expecting you to dish out some pentatonic notes bc I heard you've been taking Blues lessons; and boy what a tasteful choice of notes Way to go, Mr. Abasi!
Tosin is probably the only guitarist I can think of who could have the demeanor of a formal-educated elite classical musician if he wanted to and I'd get it and not think twice
Robert Fripp's been doing that one for fifty years. And Tosin already does it as well: Although he dresses like a rock star - an understated one - he doesn't really seem to act like it. For him, as for Fripp, it's all about the music and he does the Big Time Music Biz stuff reluctantly or not at all.
@@Baribrotzer This is an interesting point. I just saw AAL like 2 weeks ago for the first time and I was very surprised by how classy the whole band act. Minimal talking and when he did it was nice, normal, no screaming, and understated. It really is all about the music with him. I really like that about him. Great show btw, the music was amazing and the light show made it like a transcendental experience.
The way you make notes sit together that wouldn't normally mesh to an ordinary guitarist is incredible. I felt like I was reading a book and there was a plot twist at every single note you played, and I had to just keep reading. You hear a note change and you feel like it won't work out and instantly the next note makes the last one make sense. Wow.
That is awesome. Smooth, sleek, and classy with a bit of a sinister edge creeping through with the light fuzz! This, Abasi-Kaizen-Concept (whatever it's called, lol) just looks and sounds amazing. I wanna see/hear you shredding on this with heavy distortion, unless this would be a guitar that wouldn't be primarily utilized for that purpose. Great music as always dear sir, thank you for all you do and AAL as well!
I remember the first time I heard you play guitar Tobin. I was totally blown away. You've opened up a whole new way to look at guitar, keep up the great work.
Ooooweee Tosin with the sweet Hendrix licks right before going into the tapping, that was tasty and splendiferous! Who says pentatonic licks are for Boomers only🤣
Ordered a Kaizen 6 earlier this week. it's so good I ordered another today. I'll be selling a few guitars I won't be needing anymore, and plan to get another. The Kaizen is quickly becoming my favorite guitar when I don't need a FR or I need more than a hard tail. Excellent design, playability, quality, sound, ergonomics,... hope they do a few new colors, I'll buy more!
This guitar represents the final output of 30 years of common core math. Almost like when the grocery store moves all the items into different isles in the middle of the night and the next time you go back; everything is someplace else.
Not that I could drop 4k on a guitar, but it does always bother me that limited boutique guitar runs like this NEVER EVER have Left Handed models available. lol
