'Monomyth' Playthrough!

Hey guys! Here's a performance of the Animals As Leaders track "Monomyth" using presets from my @NeuralDSP Archetype: ABASI plugin.
Interesting note about this song is that it was composed primarily on the drums first by Matt with the guitar added afterwards. Writing this way can be a fun challenge and the musical result can fresh!
I'm using a Masters series Larada 8 string in "mystic dream" finish. All of the presets used are available in the updates Neural DSP Archetype: ABASI plug in ver. 2.0.0

Thanks for watching!

Its been like what almost 15 years and tosins thumb still upsets me....

[FeRReTNS]

You've inspired me to quit guitar.

[SidharthMohan]

It's unnerving how calm he is while playing this.

[matthewfoster]

So much credit to the videographer. Wow. That shot from 2:27-2:37 was something else. That's what you have to visualize in your mind's eye to begin thinking about learning to play this song!

[jopparoad]

Lol I swear they are using CGI to make his thumb look even more bent just to mess with us

[sneakyfish]

Well, I've definitely been playing the selective picking passage incorrectly. I had the notes but distributed them on the fretboard differently. Tosin's approach is so much more efficient. It's beautifully constructed. Really enjoying the sel-picking in general really. His approach to it has really developed over the years. The way it can decouple the hands from each other is fascinating. Well done, Tosin. Fine work, sir!

I love how I play every single riff in this songs completely incorrect 😀

[projectofficial]

Man, Tosin's technique is impeccable! His note choices, his phrasing, all amazing.

[PoolNinjasTN]

The switch from thumping to grabbing the pick while still fretting was amazing.

[chaosoul-seanleeriggs]

That thumb though!

The whole song is just almost beyond words, and all his riffs within it are amazing and epic!

[benjaminchartier]

I love how he plays his rhythm against what sounds like slap back delay, just trippy

[HerbalistGuybrush]

insert: time signature joke
But really, this is the shit! Most of the bands i really love are in the past and i think i never anticipated an album like this one! Really looking forward to it :) Garstka also is on another plane of rhythmic existence, almost an dadaist on drums haha

[HIVEMINDxMusic]

Ivan Chopik is every guitarist's dream filmographer. That man sure knows how to produce some hella professional looking shots

[VadikRamm]

This is an extraordinary example and a constant reminder to myself that I am attached to visuals. Didn't quite enjoy the track when it came out, but now, seeing how you play it, definitely love it.

[Ledjent]

Okay am I going insane or in the intro riff you can audibly hear groupings of 3 note strokes but he's only picking one up and one down - which visually gives you two notes? He's definitely not tapping anything with his left hand. Please help before my brain explodes.

[thesmellycatjazz]

"I only play rhythm guitar" guys are going to end it all when they hear the outro.

[woodprince]

A living legend. One of the best there is, and one of the best there will ever be.

[maximusprimetv]

Seriously, this and “The Problem of Other Minds” have got me so excited for whatever happens next, I haven’t been this enthralled with AAL since listening to their first album for the first time!

[tylerwatrouse]

Thank you for the endless inspiration. Can't tell you how much I've listened and loved your albums through the years. Highly anticipating the next release

[diggitydiggitywt]

Stupid good. You never fail to amaze. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for the new album! \m/
