from 1:10 my favorite moment

[@viktorlafontaine6222]

Wow. I have to say a few words about your composition. First, you really play clear, very clear... It's mean that your distortion when you are doing the alternate picking sounds clear. Second, your composition is a hybrid fusion between power metal and classical music. And the last word. You're amazing. Congratulations for your great composition.

[@alexiosanest]

I appreciate the kind words my friend

ALEXIOS! I adore your instrumentals. I constantly listen to your releases. You are one my "best" YT discoveries. I feel fortunate to get to experience your amazing music. Apparently Hans noticed too. Congratulations. And when is your next instrumental guitar/keyboards masterpiece coming out? 🎸🤘

[@wethetreeple3661]

I just noticed you switch between pick and fingerstyle by shifting your pick between your index and middle. That's insane. 🎉 cool song again

[@alexiosanest]

Thank you, I am proud of this one 😄🤘🙏🏻🙏🏻🎸

[@charlief.]

Amazing job, Alexios! Wow! I love your music. Also, very awesome guitar. Is that a Warmoth build? It reminds me of Dave Murray’s superstrat.

[@alexiosanest]

Thank you Charlie! Yes it is another Warmoth 😎🎸🤘

[@dionysismaniatakosmusic]

Great track Alexios! Perfect balance of symphonic and heavy elements as always!

[@alexiosanest]

Thank you Dionysis! I hope you are doing well bro! 💪🎸

[@pablosanchezdeangelis1156]

Perfecto ❤

[@alexiosanest]

😊🙏🏻🎸

[@howardosugars8922]

Absolutely fantastic, love this so much! So is that a new axe or have you just changed the pickguard and added humbuckers and a Floyd?? Very surprised to see humbuckers! Haha! Very inspiring as always my friend, hope we can get to speak soon.

[@alexiosanest]

Thank you Howard! Yes it is a new build I did recently, I wanted to try something a bit different. Dimarzio PAFs sound killer, and I wired a coil split so it can still break glass lol. The Floyd is a 1996t which is the closest to Ibanez Edge, I was basically trying to make an RG/strat hybrid with no middle pickup since I rarely use it. It turned out pretty cool :) I hope to start teaching more soon my friend, I will be in touch!

[@howardosugars8922]

Ahh that’s so cool! I thought it must be a new build because of the routing required for the trem to fit. It looks and sounds amazing, reminiscent of a Dave Murray signature strat. Well I shall look forward to when we can resume our lessons again my friend as I’ve missed that very much. I am moving at the end of September and I will have my own dedicated music room at the new place so I’m very excited about that! Can’t wait to hear more of your playing in the future, you inspire me beyond words.

[@AJ_MUR]

About time you did justice to the best track of the album! I think this has already been mentioned before in some form or another, but to me, it seems that you were able to fully realise the 'triumphant' sound you'd been going for in previous albums. In this aspect, I feel that 'Elysium' almost outdoes 'Mountain Dream', for example. I guess that's what you get with constant improvement haha Also, what's this I'm hearing about a fifth album? Should we be expecting it anytime soon?

[@alexiosanest]

Thanks so much man! Yeah I have triumphant tendencies when I compose lol, I have decided to embrace it. I have a hell of a busy touring season coming but album five hopefully before the end of the year 🤘💪🎸

[@cjbuckley7731]

Hey Alexios, wondering what string gauge you use?

[@alexiosanest]

8s, sometimes 7s
