"Monomyth" Playthrough! 

Tosin's thumb be like: ┙

Can confirm the thumb doesn’t give supernatural powers. My thumb does the same thing and I can’t play nearly as well..

@@Cmoore718 Damn, I guess it's back to practicing then...

his fingers give me severe arachnophobia

It makes me anxious just to look at...

It's all in his head. He's doing a Brain Dance.

I was just talking to a guitarist buddy about that. His playing is the definition of "effortless". The lack of tension in his hands is sickening.

It's because the song is so boring. There is nothing to get excited about.

@@officialmetalwill At least it's not as boring as your mom was tonight.

Everything he plays, his hands just barely twitch. And he just looks like he's meditating. Yet all he these noises come out of the guitar

Yo! Cover this on stream today 10% sped up!

This rips here even more than it does in the video!

Animals as leaders NFT’s are coming out ! Get around the hype ! ….only joking though … I’d buy one ☝️

Te gana jaja

You brought me here lol it all started for me with you and bipolarity

the goat

But it's more focused in rhytmics like "Mind Spun". Waiting for entire album

The way he grabs the pick is mind-blowing.

@@Medievil23 LOL!!!!

His picking style is wild to me tho

👍🔥

thats what tosins gf said

@@HerbalistGuybrush actually good use of a 'that's what she said' joke, bravo man

@@Super.AmmarI0 thank you kindly for the recognition sir

commented tha same e.e

He does it so calmly too, he is not in a hurry at all

my thumb bends like his (my dads did also) his is obviously a more talented thumb

not a human thumb ...

@@mitch5699 Tis rather alien like :D

A thumb with a mind of its own…. That bend makes room for the necessary brain cells.

Seamless!! Good to see u sir

as expected from a music wizard like seamlessr

I would rather say it grows on you, and I like music that grows on me rather than music I like when I listen to first time. It means the musician are trying new things and improving rather than following whats popular. Its the same for me for many artists and Linkin Park, Periphery, Dream Theatre, Mastadon and even Trivium. 1st Listen - ok 2nd Listen - hmmmm ok 3rd Listen - why did they realise this . . . Nth Listen - Oh shit I get it now. I have trained my brain to like novelty in music rather than trend, which builds resistance e.i the more explorative music I listen to more used to I get and then require more extreme form of progressiveness to get the same novelty high. At this point I go back to listening to EDM, Rock, Kpop, Blues. Then I get the same high again when listening to progressive artists. Although the time it takes for my brain to reset has been increasing of lately. Further I have also started to appreciate simpler music for their simplicity. The gems of music are when they are new and simple eg Aurora, her music is simple and I haven't heard anything like it.

I definitely didn't have even 20% of the appreciation for AAL until watching Tosin play. I was also on psychedelics. An AAL track came on my Spotify and it was so fucking good I replayed it then immediately looked up this guy playing bevause i just knew it was something I needed to SEE. It's like listening to someone talk. It's a lot easier to understand and follow when you can see their lips and body language. Sometime I need to see it being played to understand wtf is going on. But the way tosin plays is very foreign to me, I can still barely tell what his right hand is doing. And I love that. As a guitarist, what still continues to mystify me is when I hear guitar music that my hands can't "feel" like my brain hears it and can't really figure out how it's being played. I love these technical genres.

100% me too, I can't wait for the album!

@@ps6467 i agree. I constantly come back to musicians i wasn't very into to see if my tastes change between listens. It took me ~2 years to become fully invested in AAL lol but its so worth it

We all love HD tosin guitar playtrough 😀😀😀

You play all the rifts

Its normal. No human can bend his right thumb on 120 degrees backwards, neither are you.

@@pathemep tosin's thumb enters chat.. haha

@@Zackmild. They said no human...

@@piggles5060 😂😂😂

I know what you mean! I have to tell my brother you said Gartska is like a dadaist on drums, he'll understand the accuracy of that statement

What AAL album(s) are the best to start with? Cheers

@@fcamiola I think the best one to start is "MAdness of Many"

@@HerbalistGuybrush cheers

sniper gaming

Правильно!

So I got the 8 string 😂

Yoooo Nice!! How is it?

I'm pretty sure they are triplets. The final beat (the 'let')is played with a fretting hand mute. I noticed this mainly because its a slap bass technique and I primarily play bass, although I've played 8 string a lot more since buying all of their tabs.

@@ATthemusician I can't see it for the life of me. I'm watching both his fingering and picking hands and i'm only seeing him mute the strings.

@@jemplayer he is mainly using his ring finger on his fretting hand to mute the string. The pattern is downstroke-upstroke- fret mute(as a triplet), repeat. Slow the video down to half speed and its very clear to see him only picking twice followed by a fret mute.

You guys sure he's not using the tip of one of the right-hand fingers to do the third note?

Sorry to be that guy, but gallops, not triplets. Anyway, play it at 0.5 speed, you can hear the last note is an octave lower on every gallop. He has a super light touch with that hammer-on, which of course is necessary at such high speed, but you can see he's hitting an 8th string note after the two picked notes. This shit's insane

YES that was one the most unexpected things

just looked it up because you said that. holy fuck thats garbage

What?!!!

END CREDITS! Off of LP 🔥​@@aksimtaioreunin5385

Most likely he recorded the riff with gallops but then realized it’s too exhausting so he simplified it for the video

I think it's 2 16th and 1 8th note in the span of a quarternote, so you can play 2 8th notes against it and it's gonna sound fine like Tosin does here

No shame in not liking something, but it’s great that you acknowledge talent and give credit where it’s due!

Understandable. Very off-kilter style of music. I’ve had a few people I’ve shown AaL to, and they’ve had similar thoughts haha. Glad your appreciative of the skill, though! Just curious, have you tried “Brain Dance”, “Another Year” or “Para Mexer”? They’re more on the clean (and acoustic/classical) side of things 🤔

Respect. Most people don’t have the intelligence to separate their personal enjoyment of something from determining whether or not it is a work of art.

Do you like Meshuggah?

There are a few really good songs, especially from the self title that aren't too crazy you may enjoy. Try, if you haven't heard, Point to Point, On Impulse, and Soroya.

Bro wtf is he doing lol

I’ve asked the same thing and there’s another comment thread discussing it in depth. They’ve concluded he’s hammering on from nowhere, either on the first or last note. I think it’s the last note hammering on to the 8th string but I may be wrong. I’m about to watch on .5x speed to see

He’s hammering off on nowhere he has a video explaining selective picking look it up
