First Fragment - Psychan Guitar Playthrough by Phil Tougas 

Wow, you must have been really young when you wrote it. That is some amazing songwriting for a young age.

Now that Forest joined your band, will your next album (if there is one planned down the line) continue to have that awesome old material or will you be writing new songs? Because it seems most of the stuff on Dasein dates back to 2005-2010.

MJS2001 Gabriel originally wrote it back then. I reworked the song and added new riffs years later

+First Fragment Oh ok, that's cool. Still an awesome song regardless of who wrote it and when!

UndeadFleshgod more new material obviously but we might include 2-3 old tracks. Depends of what we feel like doing I guess

nice observation.

Oh shit yeah! Didn't realise it was a transformer sample, to be fair I haven't seen the films and haven't watched the cartoon in 20 years.

YOU GOT THE TOUCH! YOU GOT THE POWEEEEEEEERRRRRR! *Badududumbadududumdamdududamdum* YEAH!

Whats the concept behind that transformers intro tho?

I think it's the Decepticons sound when they transform

Jeff who? ;)

I’d much rather choose to cover Loomis than this. I don’t even think this is their hardest song by a long shot either, which is the worst part.

Yeah I deleted all my videos from that era. I think my old channel is still up somewhere but I cannot log into that account anymore

Because it is.

hahaha right eh? lol I actually have the habit of listening podcasts on 1.25x speed, so I wasn't sure if I was getting fooled and actually went to look in the configs. Then "Oh, I really am on 1.0x... This guy is just as godly as I thought he was :)"

@Raidoki especially while the camera is only on his fingers while tapping xD

Well I can guarantee you it's not since I shot this video haha The 1.5x speed effect you're seeing is due to : 1. The actual stupid fast playing 2. The high shutter speed, I shot it with a higher than usual (180deg) shutter speed/angle to minimize the motion blur caused by the speed of the picking and tapping! It gives a weird look but a much clearer image! Cheers Tango!

@@ismaelmossadeq2923 I wasn’t suggesting is wasn’t legit. It’s just so stupid fast it has the effect. I love it!

What an insult… this is way above first class. This is frigging inhuman.

that's just for fun, fretting the strings from atop the neck instead of from below

Mark Vader Just very fast tapping with the pick, not the finger. It gives a much brighter sound.

Yeah, he's right, using the pick sideways to tap is what it is, and it can give you a super fast sound. Michael Romeo has always done cool stuff with it for example. You basically just trem tap with the pick. It has to be sideways though because if you do it with the pointy tip it won't be as easy.

Lucas Mann

Damn you really disrespecting loomis out here

@@ZuccAF not at all dude.. Never was there "disrespect". Its about giving props to First Fragment. Period.. 🤘

@@jonborrmann3124 nah

Willian Francisco who's viraemia?

Oh, no one. Just one of the most influential bands of the last decade lol

Willian Francisco I guess I should listen to them then any recommended songs or albums?

Actually, they have released only 1 EP with 5 songs (and that was back in 2009) lol My favorite song is The Prodromal Phase ,though.

Would be cool ! But Forest already did one for that song and he's much more entertaining to watch playing Voracité than me hahaha

@@PhilTougas I know,he is enchating to watch :D but as fellow guitar player i would love to see your playthrough.Thank you for music you are creating!

This is sped up. Not real playback speed. Liars.

travis hunt Right!?!?

They must have add and a good memory to be able to write in a manner that is rarely repeating and also makes sense.

travis hunt Something I don't have lol

Alonzo Absolutely NOT. I recorded this song at the original speed back in 2013. ABSOLUTELY no studio trickery of the likes was used on any song (or anything the band has ever did). Had this been recorded at a lower speed then put back together at 270 bpm (the original speed), there would be considerably less imperfections in the playing and the fluidity between each individual notes would feel much more robotic. The engineer who recorded the guitars can also attest to that and will also prove your statement wrong.

alight. sorry I was wrong. Good fucking job. I was just discussing this film method with our friend and I thought this seemed to have a faster framerate.

"Go watch these guys live, they play all of their songs much slower." -lol, what? We have never played this song live. How does this comparison work? This song is much faster than the rest of the songs where the average fastest tempos are 240-250 bpm. This song is 270 bpm so of course it sounds faster than the other songs. But that is not the point because like I said, we've never played this song live so the comparison is invalid. As for the rest of the songs, we play all the songs to a click since late 2018 so unless you are talking about older live videos, we are playing the songs at the same exact speed as on the recordings. If you could point me to a specific video, I could calculate the tempo and verify your claim otherwise. "This shit looks like stop motion" "its sped up" -I think you're confused. Playthrough videos work the same as music videos. When watching music videos, do you think bands film themselves performing the song at a slower tempo so the ones editing the video would speed up the footage to fit along with the tempo of original audio track? That makes 0 sense, dude. That would take an ungodly amount of time to do. So here's how it works : I played along to the song I recorded (the original guitar track you're hearing was recorded years before, in 2013), at the original tempo and yadda yadda, and we put the original audio file over the footage to showcase HOW the song was performed ON THE RECORD and to show how the riffs were played ON THE RECORD. Years later, I play the song much differently now because my playing style is in constant evolution. Sure, it would be interesting to hear a live performance of it today to show the difference. For example I use way more pinch harmonics than before. But the point back in those years, was to showcase how it was played for the record. Bands often do "miming" videos like these to present the way the song was originally played on the record to promote the album and its release, because taking audio straight from the camera always sounds bad 95% of the time (not to mention having to sort through various angles to find the best room audio capture). I totally agree that doing it with a DAW is preferable in most situations otherwise but in this context, there is a purpose behind this practice. As for how it looks, If you film in super HD with multiple angles and add some filters, it's bound to look this way. I just know that saying that this is sped-up and stop motion is just flat out wrong hahaha.
