INTERVALS | STRING THEORY feat. Marco Sfogli | GUITAR PLAY-THROUGH 

Seeing Aaron with a 7-string: "It's been 3000 years..."

That restraint of not hitting the bottom string for the first 4min, but the ending is all worth it!

I really love that this album seems to going to be "simpler" than most of the instrumental stuff thats out there. No over the top 1000bpm nonstop soloing, instead nice licks and riffs you can listen to without having to concentrate like you are landing a plane.

That ending though.. So triumphant. It slaps

That final riff was so wholesome

I've been suffering from depression for a quite long time, and listening to Intervals always makes me feel *bliss*

Focusing on good song writing and not being obsessed with the fastest shredding possible are reasons why I love Intervals.

Marco’s tone, phrasing and musicality is so damn good. Great song!

Marco Sfogli is such an under appreciated musician outside of the Guitar world imo. Great decision to feature him on this track, which was also awesome.

-Hesitates to buy a 20$ tabs for 3 months -Ends up buying a 800$ 7 string

I discovered Marco Sfogli with the James Labrie solo project. A beast of a guitarist, amazing solo here !!!!

that pinch harmonic lands just perfectly

That diminished arpeggio back to Aaron at the 3:01 mark was sick and shows the thought that was put into the song.

OH MY... AARON AND MARCO ON ONE TRACK 😍👌🏼

This album so far has an incredibly vocal quality to the lead composition. It doesn't feel like "guitar instrumental" music, the leads really fulfill the role of the singer in a way that I haven't heard in much of this genre. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album!

That end riff is fucking ridiculously good

This song is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. Idk how you do it Intervals but the sounds you create literally touch my soul

That ending may be my favorite part of anything Aaron has ever written

Keeps growing on me - at first I heard mainly the parts that are reminiscent of "Leave No Stone" BUT, now after 3 listens I hear how it leads to the second half of the song - feels like an album closer

Can we all just agree at this point that Aaron is the instrumental hook master? He writes the catchiest hooks ever

4:00 this breakdown is everything i need

Marco's lick at 2:55 almost made everything that happened in 2020 worth it. Fantastic play-through dudes. So stoked for the album.

Discovered these guys by random chance a few days ago and they're flipping AMAZING! I NEED to discover more Instrumental focused bands

Mans can write sick melodies man...

My favourite off the album so far! Aaron knows his way around a catchy ass melody!

this could easily turn into a anime opening music

What a solo! I've been following Marco for almost 10 years now, and I think is probably one of the three more influential guitarists of the decade. I Hear his influence in bands like Intervals, Plini, Chon or Poliphya, and also in almost every new soloist, and i think none of these bands would have sounded the same without him. I think he deserves more credit, and at this point, I put his name next to Guthrie's or Petrucci's, in terms of influence. The song is great, and Aaron also did a great job, i really enjoy the direction that Interval has taken in the two last records :)

This album will be one of the best things that happened this year. Thank you soooo much for this !!

Legendary chord phrasing and feels. Play your heart out man, you always have.

3:02 this has to be the most beautiful thing ever.

For those who don't know Marco, you should check out his solo albums, they are absolute masterpieces. For me, he's one of the most brilliant guitarist I've ever seen. Elegant phrasing, great melodies, lots of articulations and nuances in every note and fast chops just when it's needed.

There's just this raw emotion I feel from the lines in this song, I dunno how to describe it. Cannot wait until Friday! 🤘🏾

Marco Sfogli's solo is exquisite and beautiful !! I love your music, Aaron always gives me energy

Man... Every time I hear this song - I just LOSE MY MIND that you involved Marco. This dude is such a killer and major inspiration for so many players. 🙏🏻

dam son #goals

This song + Marco Sfogli playing the solo = perfection

Been jamn to the 3 tracks released for weeks now , me and my dog have the sickest walks when we rage to this 🦮🏃🏽🎸

I've never heard something so beautiful in my life. Honestly this lifted me up. Thank you!

"String Theory" - a poem played on guitar by Aaron Marshall

feat marco sfogli?? = instant watch. my biggest influence and my guitar hero. crazy tasty solo as usual.

After to Justin's demo in Ibanez. First thing to come in my mind is this song, now I'm reliving the memories of 2022 while listening. Perfectly encapsulates the bittersweet moments.

Best cover on RU-vid.

Idk what it is about Marcos playing but it’s so satisfying to listen to and look at

3:02 this part touches my heart, bruh the arpeggiated guitar is simply gorgeous

This guitar looks HUGE

Quietly beastly tone.

Love these Guthrie-style slippery licks in Marco's solo!

Marco's Charvel 🤩

As an aging metal kid.. I have to say that this absolutely slaps.

I've always considered this masterpiece to be mistitled. I see it as more of a "breaking-through" song more than "string theory". The overall feel reminds me of my decision to leave my toxic/bad decisions and relationships behind me as I press forward towards a more positive and rewarding life ahead of me. I won't go into details, but there are parts that remind me of the beginning when I accepted the struggles, to the point where I stood up for myself, to the point I fought, then realized my inner peace, then overcame all of the struggles, and then at the end, the intense bass strums when I struggled to fight the battle to go back to that darkness, then the sudden end that cut that off and made me realize I'm better off without. I will always call this song "The Breakthrough" even though it's "String Theory." To those of you struggling with self-acceptance, you have the ability within you to make yourself feel loved and worthwhile. It's not an easy journey, I won't lie. The best things that life have to offer will never come without trial. Keep going. You will find your inner peace and your paradise. Whether it's with someone else, or with yourself, it's out there. Keep going my friends, and find that love that you so god-damn deserve. Peace and Love to you all!

Marco's solo and that breakdown towards the end made my day!!

TY!

I know this is a guitar play-through but the way the kick punches in the mix is honestly *chefs kiss*

4:01 - I just want a 10 hours version of this

Dam this album is gonna be sick

There´s something about Aaron and Mayones guitars that feels right. Best handcrafted guitars for best player on earth. Can´t wait to listen whole album Aaron, keep dropping the tunes!!!

1:22 is just so friggin good man.

1:28 dat pinch every god damn time! eargasm!

I wonder if hundreds of years ago, people who just taught themselves to play the lute and whatever string instruments they could get their hands on would dream of making music like this in the future.

Super rad. We need a bass play through with Jacob now!!!

Great song and really impressive phrasing. Marco’s solo is real bliss

It’s… it’s perfect 🥹

I was brought here, by instrumental madness

This has to be one of the most tasteful looking and sounding seven strings I've ever seen. I want a Mayones so bad😩

Marco in my mind epitomizes tone/phrasing/etc and seeing him with Aaron is insane. Great collab

Such tasteful soloing

Long time coming! Do more!! I’ve been waiting for a collab between you two for years.

That ending riff is perfect

my fucking god, the mix on this album... i can't even put in to words how fucking tight this is.

Happy power grooves

Keep these features coming Aaron! That's two new guitarists I now have the pleasure of listening to, hope the rest of the album has a couple more!

Amazing!

Love it. Each track is getting me more and more stoked for the album

I’m so glad I got to actually meet and speak with this legendary guitarist

Man, your music just make me happy, cant wait for the whole thing!!! 🙌

I have been enjoying the hell out of these playthroughs. This album sounds rich AF.

Very nice! Great playing by both Aaron & Marco!

Dude!!!! You and Marco! Two of the smoothest melodic guitarists on the face of the sweet erf! Been listening to both of you guys for years. An absolute treat to see you bois collab. I love it!

Amazing

Marco always surprising us with sugar licks, time and again.

Love seeing the 7 string again, some of these riffs give me some in time vibes

ohhh that end hit me right in the feels, that hook that makes you come back for more

Two guitar masters in one song, really inspiring !

this is beautiful. It's so inspiring to see instrumental music that can make you feel emotions beyond the verbal. thanks so much.
