John Browne of Monuments Plays "Atlas" on EMGtv 

This dude's right hand keeps f*cking with my emotions!

The talent that it takes to play this is second only to the talent that it takes to write this

I had such an emotional connection to this song, I literally felt it in my soul. As a musician this inspires me to be a better creator. Thank you guys for this beautiful music..

This riff hits harder than my dad

CAN'T STOP LISTENING!!!! I want this album so much!!!!

This guy and the whole band are beyond greatness. Their latest album, "The Amanuensis", is truly a masterpiece.

MORE JOHN BROWNE ON EMG TV PLEASE !

The melodies in this are godly.

would like to see him and mark holcomb do something together. they are both riff machines and have a sorta similar sound.

I love the chorus! It's such a rad melody and rythm.

That tone is outrageous

Must...Keep..PRACTICING!! Must.. Have...Same..Pick..attack! *brakes vessels*lol i feel he has a vendetta against his strings. lol but seriously though. what a monster. really dig that he tunes to open tunings.

Haven't anything more creative and groovy in a loooong time!! Can't wait for the new album!!

So awesome. Love John Browne's riffing, can't wait for the new album.

I absolutely love the tone in this video. I have to say it again. To think I once hated blindly on anything EMG 81. Yet when I go back and look at all my favorite recordings, they were done with an EMG 81 or 81-7. Funny how it works being a sheep. Bought an Ibanez Iron Label 6'er last weekend. EMG 81/60, and I've never been happier with my heavy tones. I still have a strat for low gain applications that aren't cleans (the 60 has the best cleans i've ever heard. And 90% of what I do is high gain anyway. Kudos to EMG for making a pickup that whose tone I unknowingly chased for years while simultaneously jumping on the hate train. I bought Bare Knuckle BlackHawks, and Dimarzio D'activators in that time and they still never lived up.

Absolutely incredible!

Gnosis was an amazing album, but the two tracks I've heard from the newest album have blown most of the previous album out of the water! Can't wait to hear Chris' vocals over them too :)

this one is easily going to be one of my main jams this summer!

He's a machine! LOVE his playing! Full on beast mode!

One of the best and musical riffs he had made

Brilliant composition and playing. WOW.

Very tight, excellent performance. That last pinch sounded great too.

CAN'T FUCKING WAIT! Release this shit now!

Just a few hours ago I was thinking of Higgs Boson instrumental and here it is!

I can't stop watching this.

Fucking incredible harmonies and intervals here man. I love you.

i love this music.

To this day probably the best usage and playability on at 7 string

God damn, sick playing. thats one heavy and groovy ass song.

should release an instrumental version of the album. would be so sick

For anyone interested he's using Laney IRT Studio Rack mount amps, his Reaper Pandemonium pedal, and a few others for tone. He also uses an older Line 6 Pod XT Pro Rack (the red one) not shown in this video.

Ex-Higgs-Boson? Awesome! Can't wait to hear the vocals and the rest of the album!

this is so much fun to play! Well, at least the first 30 seconds I managed to cover haha not giving up on this still!

Just because I know a bunch of people are going to be asking for it.. Tuning: Ab F Bb Eb F Bb Eb

amazing!

very smooth licks...

im excited to hear chris barretto again. i remember listening to him with periphery before their album actually came out

The main riff (0:37) is sooooo damn catchy... That guy makes me wanna be a better rhythm player, his technique is simply flawless.

Awesome.

Man thats something else!

Jose Macario for EMG demo!! This is rad too.

Epic! Give to this guy a giant cookie!

Someone uploaded a Radio rip of this song with vocals but it got taken down and I didn't RU-vid to MP3 it! Just have to stick with the instrumental, such an amazing song.

Dat robotic right hand! John is incredible!!!!! \m/

John Browne the light in a dark universe..........superb

Because John Browne.

Inspirador!!!!!!!!!!

love the funk groove that this song carries. wonder how much different it will sound with some vox

it seems they focus on a lot of complexity within the rhythm itself, and its just amazing.... :']

Jose Macario for some 8 string demos!

tasty sound every single time... which ibanez model is that though?

Godlike

Didn't know that Robert Baratheon plays guitar :D Christ! I love love that right hand!

Greatness

best yet JB

Please give us a play-through by Jose Macario

Cloud Atlas themed album with a pic of Tom Hanks on the album cover?

On fire

Sounds like Keith Merrow, excellent rhythm playing combined with killer riffs

Damn. Thats tight as hell. Anybody know when the new album is supposed to be released?

Dude is a beast

I tried learning this when this video first came out, failed miserably. Came back two years later and still cant wrap my head around this shit

has a periphery vibe to it, maybe more like mark holcomb anyway i love it

Representing that Ironheart IRT pretty well, I think! That's truly a twice as nice at half the price line from Laney.

genious

He plays with a lot of power in his right hand, its like hes trying to break his strings!

Awsome! Got goose bumps from here 0:37 :D

Someone knows what model is that nice Ibanez?

This is not even his final form. Browne a beast

One of the best guitar sound i've ever heard in the so called "djent scene"...and it comes all from an amp!!

This song is f*ck*ng great!

nice john!

sweet guitar. really liked the abalone shark tooth inlays.

that's why I want to live

is that a 27" scale Ibanez 7 string? I want.. I NEED!

Dude what a punch!

I love Djent for the rhythm but I can't wait till they start working the rhythm into other strings... I don't know if anyone else agrees with me but the rhythm is very funk so you could almost say that there will be a strong use of funk lead as djent grows

GooD!!!!

sick.

Relentlessly diabolic. The right hand that made Hetfield shy away for fear his may fall off.

What Ibanez model is he using?

so sick...

Can I use EMG 707 on Bridge and 81-7 on Neck?

Siiiick

Who else here 2021

wow

Does this characteristic "dry" sound comes from Randall?

Man I need to get a 7 string.

bruuuu that guitar sounds amazing

So I guess that Strandberg is just there for decoration?

The Best Of Djent!

Monuments and Periphery sound really similar and I love it.

What pickups does he use I wonder

After take care of the island for many years, Hurley decided to make metal. \m/

Good to know I'm not the only guitar player that bites his nails

i am wondering what would Paul Gilbert say on these riffs.

would love the tabs for this D:

🔪 🔥

Did emg poke fun at djent in the description? Great song and incredible picking hand

Sounds like Tesseract. amazing
