[@d.j.casanova960]

Josh never lets us down with a solid breakdown.

[@alexkonz7935]

No other guitarist alive sounds like Josh Travis. Every note he plays is like a shotgun blast and I love ever second of it.

[@NikNocturnal]

He's a BEAST

[@FratDickComminThru]

Seeing that string bounce while hearing that was wild.

[@thet740]

@@FratDickComminThru Every time I watch him, I am mesmerized by the string flopping. You should see the 9-String guitar videos lol. edit: He plays one in this video

[@iamyetimanYT]

I love how mixing. It’s so powerful

[@smokejc]

his production levels always sound so muddy and weird to my ears.

[@vincentdarkrosrayne]

Joshua Travis and Buster Odeholm are pioneers in their fields. you immediately recognize either of them the second you put a guitar in their hands. also their mixing skills are beast af

[@thomaskeyser294]

Can't wait to hear more from Buster... absolute beast

[@vincentdarkrosrayne]

Level 6 (Creepy Synth) is basically Nemertines. Same with level 8 and 9. Check that music project out, can really recommend it and the music is weirdly very touching and emotional, even though it is primarily breakdowns.

[@HOLLOWxWAY]

Seeing this pop up on the home page made me very happy! JT is a freaking legend, his guitar playing is unreal, there's just NO REST - see what I did there. But for real, seeing you both jam in the same video is dope. Needs more of that!
