THUMP! 

Call me old fashioned but for a super chops thump off, I’d honestly prefer watching Victor Wooten. Abasi is fantastic there’s no question about that! I just wonder about his gear & eq choices. I find the brilliance of his playing is lost to me when it’s delivered so abrasive and non-musical sonically, excessively scooped bright & sterile metallic digital tonalities..

​​@@JasonWright-mc6dzTosin got his techniques from evan brewer, who got it from victor wooten. So its kind of the same technique and principle for different instruments and music style

except tosin plays an instrument actually good for soloing unlike victor wooten lmao

@@ricksouza9299 You must have not heard even one solo performance of wooten to have said that...

the tonal difference made so much sense since its a different instrument. trying to make guitar sounds like bass doesn't make sense. he mostly play 8 string guitars, which naturally had more low end freq which is an annoyance if you play guitar, that's why he used to eq his tone that way@@JasonWright-mc6dz

underrated comment

😂😂😂😂

Very underrated comment

lmao

Absolutely

He kinda did tho

This flex matches the flex of his thumb 👍🏼

Yes he did lol

🤔😆

Dude is literally sleeping while playing this until the end. xD Man Tosin is the business.

Seriously, there aren't proper words to describe how good he is at playing guitar

@@BaldorfBreakdowns Like, even if people are not fans of this style, he can completely wreck in more conventional styles. What a player...

his 7 string slapping video from 11 years ago was the most jaw dropping thing ive ever seen

Bassists do this all the time

@@patientmental875 Oh yeah, you're right, I forgot. Been there, done that, nothing unique going on here. Move along folks, Tosin is just your average bassist playing guitar.

^^^

Listen to album Weightless

@@maxwelljames8656 I have many times! Not quite a full dnb mix though

A collaboration between Jojo Mayer and Abasi!

Thump into a niche you mean

Really rare finding a fellow Fate fan in a Prog Metal video comment section

@@mariinito8398 Fate OST's are all bangers so it's probably not that... Yeah you're right it is rare

Ahahhahaah def not cringe 😐😐😐

Prestine poetry

the end is nigh

And thankfully so.

ROFL!

Tosin is the master of giving his strings a thumb up (literally)

Well I thumped down... On the like button ;)

literally only one person disliked it lmao

@@prognogg212 mobile user probably had, sweaty hands and miss clicked

TheWoodenZosimos haha you got the joke xD lmao

It has 6. What guitars do you have? Lol.

@@collecter3456 The joke is that Tosin usuall- actually , no honestly, forget it

@@collecter3456 r/woooosh

Runa Klem you’re so funny. Instead of being helpful and explaining the joke.

Collecter34 5 you still dont-

Precisely

Tim?

Haha, I see your profile is the cover of NLND. Mine is Tim (with wings) from Unprocessed- Real.

@@narvizz87 Tim Henson from polyphia

Yeah, maybe on a technical level. I'm sure Tim would even agree with that, he did say he learned it from Tosin. But, Tim incorporates the technique into something that actually sounds good and isn't just impressive.

That has Chug in it right?

@@PooNinja thats Scream of the Broken Finger

🤣 ooh my arthritic index 😂

i saw you on john petrucci's new video! terminal velocity!

Ola! ❤

Life is an RPG. Start a fight with this in your earbuds.

💯💯💯💯 yes!!!

Yes please

The electronic elements on their first album were so cool, especially the track On Impulse!

facts

You're Happy now? Answer: no

Or Tosin with Charles Berthoud

​@@TheDarkngrim it already exists ;-)

@@onestep87 omg

I think that would prove once and for all that there is a such thing as too many notes😂

for real though! at first view I thought he was playing over a backing track. but nope.

@Ric Flair nah lol, his index and middle are doing some insane plucking after the thumb thumps

He's doing a type of tremolo picking that's common in classical/flamenco guitar, but on another level.

I thought it was a backing track too. But look closely you can see the D string vibrates.

New project for the slow mo guys phantom cam.

היי מה קורה חבוב

Great!!

חתיכת אגודל יש לו לטוסין הזה

@@Nihilvs נחוןןן

אינעל ראבקקק איזו קהילה

The more you practice growing up your fingers actually grow more to help you. My right hands fingers are a solid couple cm longer than my left myself

It's not about the size of your thumb, it's what you can do with it that matters

He has the thump gene

Look at jacos thumb its from 1000s of hours of playing

Jaco Pastorius’s had the same, descendants of gods I guess lol

Dude please 😍 more dnb metal. This shit is amazing

Ayyy never thought I'd see Seamless on a Tosin Abasi video

haha wow i didn't even make the connection but yeah this is straight up some aal neuro. always cool to see similarities between progressive electronic genres and progressive metal genres like that. i remember coming across a random comment from misha on an old Mr. Bill song, which was cool as fuck because he's a pretty prolific but relatively underground experimental glitch hop producer. totally different styles but still plenty of inspiration to be drawn.

I freaking knew i'd find you here

Hell yeah! They already dabble with IDM, some proper dnb is the next journey!

this one has 6 :)

@@josteinrefseth Yep and now I have no excuse to get an extended range.

@@siddwitmusic477 whoops i misread

pfft... get it because you want it. I skipped 6 and 7 and went straight to 8. Now I have 3.

Jostein Refseth dude I misread that too. Omg, I guess I don’t need an 8 string either lol

Lmao Tim has been thumping a lot lately. Guess Tosin's gotta start doing the trap beats.

damn they already have a lot of thumping

@slowpoke not even close. More thumping. More strings. More BPM. More time signatures

Swarthy Giant 15 string larada when

I want LESS!!!

Swarthy Giant if music is just technical it isn’t good, if music is good and happens to be technical it’s good.

Holy shit, I remember XD

It’s the breakbeat 😜

Hahaha yes 😂 that's hilarious. Are you related to tosin by any chance?

I can’t fucking breathe lol

hahaha, best part of the tune too... but that shit is ridic

I would throw my entire bank account to buy a single track made by both.

i want it now

Sure does sound like Noisia, check out this track ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zHijFqAgy1c.html

more like colab with Igorrr

I’d give more credit and say mob tactics

He'll be playing a 9 string with his nostrils taking it to the next level.

I cant handle much more Abassi Innovations. Its getting harder to want to touch my guitar

Please tell me that didn't actually happen

I don’t like the physical pain I got from reading that

Wouldn't be surprised if he did, I definitely have some of the same samples from free drum n bass sample packs.

It's Minecraft enchanting table language

Good luck enslaving people who aren’t sheep to this nonsense.

@@AP02112 nonsense? I saw pure musicianship displayed as well as what it means to be innovative. no nonsense and no sheep here! Maybe go listen to some tonally diverse 5FDP.

@@therxskillz No melody, no groove, boring and wank. Nothing special or entertaining if you have an attention span.

@@AP02112 it must suck to be you

Totally!

Me too

@@DavidNwokoye me too

Surprisingly this is in 4/4

@@ArronLukeMusic 👁️👄👁️

it's literally syncopated 4/4. most of animals as leaders stuff is harder than this.

Ever watch the Powerpuff girls?

@@crowing3886 OMG, that is so true!! This is a Powerpuff girls soundtrack from start to finish! LOL

Or an intense hacking scene, ending with the legendary "I'm in" phrase.

my thoughts exactly, he should score a movie

No one is coming for his brand lmao

Abasi plays with vibe, Tim (polyphia) is naive and just doesn't do it for me, if that's the future of music then we're doomed. It's pure crap. Abasi is musically gifted.

Polyphia sucks

@@caustixsoda8125 okay, a) what do you mean by naive and b) even if its not your thing, you cant ignore the fact that polyphia have a very mature sound and that Tim Henson is an extremely talented guitarist. He may not be as familiar with different time signatures or scales but his playing is tight and hes an incredibly fast learner.

@@chilibiskit14 okay... I was kind of joking, but then you just ruined it lol

Lol no dude tim is annoying

Feat scott too

@@fp-ko7vg definitely

@@ironcomic he might be for some people but you can't deny that his guitar playing is sick

Lol true but there are lots of really good tappers out there, Tosin is badass you cant compare

called being a god

Also meticulously crafted compression/noise gating between the custom fishman pickups /Abasi concept pedals and his sexy ass clean amps

Because fret wraps are for chicks

Right hand precision, left-hand muting. Look at how he uses the whole of his hand

First time I see one of your comments with less than 500 likes 😂
