ANGEL VIVALDI // An Erisian Autumn [GUITAR PLAYTHROUGH]

[@mschultz90]

Have you ever felt as useless as an Angel Vivaldi guitar pick?

[@angelisreal]

Ummmm should anyone ACTUALLY admit to ever being stroked this hard, and actually love it,even if it does get raw?

[@angelisreal]

I know, a bit late...

[@MyFukinBass]

Have you ever felt as broken as an Angel Vivaldi's Pink Floyd shirt?

[@a7xsynfan6661]

It's probably one of his favorite shirts. I have a band shirt with holes all through it, I have a safety pin holding it together in the middle. I can't bring myself to throwing it away. I got it at a concert in '09.

[@troscopea8069]

Matthew Quinliven I aspire to be like you one day, friend. All the shirts I have from that long ago are still in one piece. I feel a pervading sense of shame.

[@metalgoat69]

I have been playing guitar for 17 years now. I remember when these videos came out. 9 years have passed. And now I am here again, watching this impressive work of musical art. How inspiring and how sublime. This is a human being elevating the soul while creating and playing. Thank you, Angel.

[@AngelVivaldi]

Thank YOU for the kind words!

[@jamesstreet910]

Me too. I remember when this first came out and here I am again 9 yrs later watching this. So good!

[@F_L_U_X]

3:57 - 'Angel Vivaldi approves' face. Lol

[@Feriman]

I always look at this video at this point.

[@melissafiammetta6442]

haha my favorite part always

[@mu5tbpackin]

Angel is an amazing player no doubt. That's actually what astounds me the least. The music and emotion he is able to create is utterly mind blowing! It can please us guitar players with sweeps and fast licks but he finds a way to make it so artistic and unbelievably well written that the common man could listen and be thoroughly entertained. The composure is wonderful on every record. Seriously the Bach/Beethoven of guitar in our time. It's an honor to listen to this!

[@Crimson-Baki]

John Wisdom I agree with everything you said also if you can feel the riffs and be lost in relaxation and serenity you are truly an Artist! This is serene to me you have a new fan, a new supporter and you are awsome! This is ART!

[@michaelnolasco998]

John Wisdom or like listening to....Vivaldi?

[@michaelnolasco998]

John Wisdom or like listening to....Vivaldi?

[@casttheshadow7512]

this whole album from start to finish isn't able to be described with existing words for me. all I can say is that it's just amazing. plain and simply amazing. completely changed the way I thought about my instrument.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Wow a student of mine asked if I had heard of you and I hadn't. I'm soooo glad I checked out your music wow just amazing and so inspiring. Now off to go buy all your music :)

[@parthlakhtaria5952]

Robert Baker and you have more subscribers than him! Damn🔥

[@Kaskets3D]

Robert Baker just heard about him myself

[@bravo2789]

Robert Baker I'm in as well. The new generation reinspiring and challenging us older generation of players. A lot of fun and music enlightenment.

[@coleyounger3701]

the drummer is a total beast....wow!!!!

[@IamRaloPib]

Ronald Williams machine? Lol

[@tccjjss]

Finally I found a song with lyrics that describe my life.

[@jeffreymiller8309]

This spoke to me😅😅

[@smokeypotter5876]

Man I wish I could sing , it would probably help my head banging

[@smokeypotter5876]

That's funny,You should be a brick layer

[@Sangakvlogs]

You can do it bro

[@Pol-Pot]

Sylosis-Where the sky ends,is another lyrical masterpiece

[@tfos993]

*9 months playing guitar* *can finally 90% of Fade to Black from Metallica* Yeah! I'm the goddamn best! Can't believe I spent so much time and finally! *later that evening* *browsing youtube* *finds Angel Vivaldi* Hmm I wonder who this guy is. Must be more of those generic djent guitarists lmao *plays video* O__________O ... ... ... ...Fuck this shit, I'm fucking dead, I'm done...

[@Vegenks]

Hahaha ya I felt the same way lol

[@TPR626]

This is how I feel after watching Jeff Loomis videos haha

[@Vegenks]

Omg right!

[@therojas121]

dude keep playing, Vivaldi was once at the same level as you are right now, just keep practicing and have fun.

[@Vegenks]

+therojas121 will do :)

[@B3Band]

I spent like 6 hours learning this song today with a metronome. I can do the first 56 seconds of the song at full speed (REALLY proud of myself for that!). I can do all of the riffs up to 2:42 around 120bpm (song is 152). I didn't even start any riffs after that. I didn't think I could do any part of this song, so I definitely surprised myself today!

[@RoyalLobotomy]

where did you find the tabs or did you find a video lesson? link pleaze

[@B3Band]

Learned by ear, and by watching Angel play it.

[@Minecraftlikeablawk]

+MadCrowd might be long overdue but tabs are on jellynote

[@triviumshadow6262]

+MadCrowd the tabs of the song are in the angel´s oficial facebook ;)

[@B3Band]

TriviumShadow Have you actually tried reading them, though? ;)

[@Ferretclaw444]

Dude you are my tapping hero. This song is like 90% one long tapping lick and it sounds amazing.

[@jonathanflora6330]

If the tapping is well done, it can deliver sort of emotions, specially with some effects

[@MsDavo123]

Man he keeps it interesting keeps on throwing in new ideas i love this

[@greekfreak1980]

If Angel Vivaldi and Andy James would do a track together,the sheer awesomeness would propably cause a singularity that would completely screw up the time/space continuum.Fuck it,it would be totally worth it.

[@chrisbergey9470]

greekfreak1980 avidity from andy james feat. Paul Wardingham. Sick, you can hear both styles easily from andy to Paul.

[@umbraheart1]

greekfreak1980 Update they have just in case u haven’t heard it yet it’s called Wave of synergy

[@Str8UpRhythmic1]

Who's still here in 2021 blaring this banger?? I still can never get over how you can play with so emotion that you don't even need words period. The playing alone speaks volumes. 👏🏻🙌🏻

[@zzebowa]

It is extraordinary how the electric guitar, distorted, gained, compressed, is such a perfect pairing with classical music. The punch and agression of the guitar give the melodic music edge, and the speed of the guitar exceeds everything else.

[@AngelVivaldi]

You’re very kind!

[@zzebowa]

@@AngelVivaldi And you are very good. A friend of mine, David (French guy) gave me a link to one of your vids. He knows you from somewhere, you really should be as well known as Malmstein or EVH!

[@Grybhaal_Daublebach]

I got carpal tunnel watching this.

[@Grybhaal_Daublebach]

MetallicaFan0503 You right.

[@thomasgaydos651]

I got it playing it. no joke! really do now hahahahaha

[@MrScrofulous]

I get carpal tunnel doing the exercises he gives me in lessons.

[@Double44inthemorning]

lol he's 33

[@miroslavdimitrijevic3666]

actually, by that time, you're gonna desintegrate

[@nickyhotwheeler]

Had a buddy tell me "i hate when they use a keyboard with guitar sounds" wtf!? had to pull this video up to show him. you have a new diehard fan vivaldi! lol

[@extorter]

u never heard of a keytar???

[@jb_uwu]

A keytar doesn't make guitar sounds though.

[@christophertargia5312]

A keytar can make any sound a keyboard can, you just need to program it

[@nickyhotwheeler]

In other words he thought Vivaldi was using a keyboard or computer to play.

[@KusabiJr]

I perfectly agree on this. In fact, I, myself, use a PC keyboard to act as a keyter that produces almost 100 % guitar sounds (and pretty much everything else). My picture says a lot about it :)

[@demon122334]

Man. I've loved your music ever since I found you on Pandora in 2009. Man your music helped me through a lot and it inspired me. Through the military, life's hardest choices, my back to back loss of my grandmother then my dad. Even when I found out I was gonna be dad three years ago it made me stronger. Even listening to this now while righting this makes feel great. I thank you for making these videos and continuing Makin music. I know You don't know me, but I want to let you know how much this means to me. From one of your biggest fans.

[@Ceber911]

Lee Gilley same here

[@MaddDogg316]

Lol, I literally found this man on Pandora in 2008-9ish as well. Crazy. Changed my life forever tbh.

[@stevevogt1328]

Hope you're doing strong king

[@Zarek523]

Finally, my favorite song gets a playthrough!! Thank you for doing this, excited for Away with Words Pt 2

[@miketobler3767]

Exactly what I was going to say. That and "can't wait for you to come to California!"

[@Zarek523]

Mike Tobler Yes 100%, Los Angeles preferably cause thats where I'm at but I'll drive just about anywhere to see Angel play

[@LithEatsBacon]

1:28-1:53 ... yep, i found my jam... holy shit!

[@oneill1926]

Dude I sat here for damn near 3 hours just listening to your music. I heard you one day on Pandora and was hooked ever since! Please don't ever stop!

[@dsavish]

***** any idea when aww part 2 is coming?

[@iDeKz]

***** pleaseeee give us a lil info on AWW PT2!!!! Is there even a part 2 coming right away? or Is it the type of albums where youll make part one, then finish part 2 a few years from now after youve produce more music and generally increased in skill, were oh so restless :) no need for spoilers!! i just want to know what your idea / concept of these albums are going to be!! :)

[@MusicGuy210]

Pandora introduced me to angel vivaldi also and I'm so got damn glad! He's suck a sick as guitarist and I just love trying to incorporate his playing style into my jam sessions

[@WholeEgg290]

Pandora crew!

[@alanmilke7]

After many days without him, he's back! Damn! listen to him it's a pleasure :v Vivaldi you're my favorite guitarist :'3

[@Jassifrickanation]

What's that, Angel? You want to do a wicked awesome solo? Yeah, okay? Yeah, a 30 second solo? Okay. Yeah, sure, you can make it a minute. A minute in a half? Okay. Yeah, do a 5 minute long solo.

[@LoyalToTheMicrobes]

I'm sure I've watched/listened to this video at least 743 times and it still hits fresh. Where's that Halo voice actor to say GODLIKE!

[@guidryguidry8471]

Anytime I am feeling unmotivated to play guitar I always listen to an Angel Vivaldi song. Every time I listen to one of your songs it fills me with motivation and passion for guitar. Keep up the amazing work!

[@babayaga5176]

Dude......Speechless. Your a fucking God. I love your shit. I listen to it when I'm doing EVERYTHING. Gaming, working out, driving down the road.... It came to be that I do not listen to anything else lol I would like to ask you tho, if you would be so kind to reply. If I could possibly use your music in the background of my video gaming recorded streams/broadcasts. Would definitely make for the ultimate to watch in gaming videos. It would be a high honor to rock your music on my gaming videos. When I listen to your music while I'm gaming, I'm unstoppable...

[@xsavagementality]

Baba Yaga he did allow me to use his stuff. So perhaps he will do the same for you

[@babayaga5176]

Savage Reviews I'm hoping. Hoping he will reply..

[@richiegargonzola]

Baba Yaga what do you stream? if i may ask.

[@babayaga5176]

Rainbow 6 Siege right now and Battlefield 4, Titanfall 2 and The Division

[@lucasbellesi3783]

After a long period (more than a year), I decide to start studying guitar again and I blame you. Hearing your music and watching your videos gave me again the willpower to grow on music... you get an amazing sound from a guitar and I started to desire to get more of mine too. I listen to other amazing guitar players but this music is despairingly beautiful... it really touches my soul and turns life into something more beautiful and enjoyable. You're a true genius. Thanks for sharing your work with the world and being such an inspiration.

[@thrasstefan]

3:58 The only person who can be funny while absolutely destroying that guitar with your amazing talent! Dude I love you!!!

[@baileyradford9155]

At 3:55 He is like I bet you didn't expect this one!

[@cakelies]

3:58. xD But yeah, all sorts of incredible going on here.

[@cristianmihai4182]

Beautiful, bloody beautiful. Guitar playing doesn't get better than this.

[@arthurmorgan4303]

It has become my daily routine, I can't start the day without listening, you have done a job that really feeds the human spirit, congratulations! ♥

[@xViiRuZxX]

Honestly, I don't think I listen to any artist as much as I listen to Angel. His music is so unique and exquisite that I don't think I will ever get bored of it. I know all people don't like a certain music genre, but how can one honestly not like this. Angel is just an immensely great musician.

[@redbeard365]

Ugh..0:47.. holy shit dude. So.. freaking.. EPIC!!!! Excellent skill! Excellent composition. Love this tune!

[@charliebowen5071]

That tapping part in the solo..... ring finger people... ring finger.... awesome

[@CoffinZ12]

This song blew me the fuck away... Damn this was powerful, scratch that any compliment is unworthy of this song. I dare others to challenge this statement.

[@lancej2689]

He's the guitarist the world needs, but not the one it deserves.

[@jwithersooon]

its so captivating. you can just feel the emotion with every pluck of a string and tap of a fret. absolutly amazing

[@fockewulf9518]

Very nice @Angle Vivaldi.

[@dethkok3869]

1:27 my favorite riff from this song

[@nachtknot9822]

Damn yes

[@karlos_marxican-godless-co1712]

That one and the one at 3:09

[@americanempireprojec]

She's a maniac. Maniac on the floor. And she's dancing like she's never danced before.

[@Post_Oak_Smoke]

Sounded great with broken fingers....sounds better with them intact!! Great job, Angel! You have inspired me to 'FINALLY' pick up the guitar again. Keep rockin'

[@DanielPesina405]

Hey Angel! I saw your show last night in ATX and just want to tell you put on a one hell of a performance. I am so glad I called in to work. Totally worth it. (he also used this guitar live and shredded so hard his string broke XD)

[@zacharywilliams4569]

1:28 is just beautiful

[@devennent5575]

I love how intensely he is grooving while playing his tune. It's a grand sight.

[@rob26762]

3:10 still gives me the fucking chills. Never gets old

[@PhillipCalvin627]

Next to getting reconnected with the woman who is now my wife, finding Angel Vivaldi was the best thing social media (Myspace in particular) ever did for me. A decade later I don't have a Myspace or even a Facebook, but I still listen to Angel Vivaldi on a fairly steady rotation. Thanks for all the great music bro.

[@baddayoverdosed]

Love so much!! Please play all of Universal Language on your tour so I can die happy!!

[@mrwest2474]

Angel this track brings tears to my eyes 😭. It’s truly a masterpiece. Thank you

[@justinnutter6008]

Hands down one of the best guitarists of our time....

[@austinthebeast33]

I have been playing guitar for 5 years going on 6 years. I have a very developed left hand now and I'm starting to learn your stuff to further improve my tapping and your legato is right up my ally. I hope to become as good as you one day man. You make excellent music that is like ear candy !!!! Thank you for showing the world your creativity.

[@jacob.b318]

***** UR A GOD

[@mopheadthe3rd]

***** I don't think Austin knows exactly what he's talking about, this is more like ear sex, ear candy doesn't come close to doing your shit justice, I feel like I'm looking at my generation's Jeff Loomis.

[@austinthebeast33]

Jeff Loomis xD, you do not know what you are talking about. People like Loomis and Andy James are in another ball park.

[@theczre]

Gotta make more songs like your Universal Language EP, you in flames and all that remains are my riding music, keep rocking boss!

[@UnmaskArt]

Good lord! That was amazing! How on earth do you get you tapping so loud, I could beat on my frets with the force of a hammer and I can't ever hear it.

[@MasterMeijer]

Use Overdrive

[@paganphoenixguitar]

It's not the force, it's the attack. A quick push-flick motion gets you this sort of sound. Hope this helped :D

[@VulgrDisplay]

Unmask Art Probably using a compressor.

[@samanalehossein5239]

Unmask Art also important to mute the strings you not using with your right (and left hand)

[@masked_ultra8859]

Also a low string height helps

[@rflessati]

Unique playing style, unique melody. Amazing music.

[@angelisreal]

This is so cool. I've been a fan of melodic metal since forever, and I love your style. Some parts are just really catchy...

[@matthewbuchanan7419]

Love this video. So much easier to learn by eye rather than looking over pages of tablature!!! Tablature for reference, of course. Love your work.

I hope this meaage reaches you Angel! I had the pleasure of discovering your amazing work a week ago. Your sound is so unique, and so addictive! Been listening to all your albums on repeat since then! I wish you all the very best! I will support you and your amazing music as long as you keep pumping it out! John from Australia

[@aosmer8218]

Very well done!! Very melodic and creative. Don't ever quit!!

[@coltoncouncil8580]

As a guitarist in a newly started band, I'm good but not as great as I would love to be... I would love to play like Angel but I still have quite a few years ahead of me...i have played for about 7 years but his style of playing, I absolutely love :D I have tried basing my playing off of his playing cuz it is just absolutely influential and flawless in my opinion, but i know that he may mess up sometimes like every guitarist/musician but that's how you correct and advance your self, 1 note that doesn't sound right will throw you off track...there are no words for me to describe how emotional he makes me feel with his guitar playing, you can even see the emotion in his face being put into his guitar as he plays it because he feels the music...that is a true musician!!!! I would kill to have at least a 30 min lesson with him to teach me his ways lol!

[@michaelgordon1612]

Wow I'm speechless 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 that's talent

[@grimripper4179]

The 65 or so dislikes are just upset that they can't play an instrument.

[@some2691]

After 16 years of shredding, I'm still struggling with this amazing song. I can't even grasp on how the fuck you were able to compose it. True masterpiece in my opinion

[@salleafist2802]

that just masturbating a guitar for me this is not really music ! He just shows his talent i agree with showing your talent but do that in a solo not in an entire song that's horrible !

[@NicktheLP]

I agree, although it sounds good, it's a bit much. I guess he just writes so much solo stuff that he would never use it all unless he had 'solo songs' lol

[@angelisreal]

+The Uberman In case you haven't noticed, they are ALL solos....

[@NicktheLP]

James Armes Not

[@peanutbutterisfu]

Ive been playing guitar a long time now. I’ve been in bands, recorded albums. For me personally shredding super fast means nothing to me if the player doesn’t play with feeling and emotion. A guy that picked up the guitar last year can play with more emotion with power chords and some simple techniques than a guitar player that can play anything. So many super good,fast, clean players make just the most boring music that sounds like a computer playing scales that just go no where. No build ups, no climax it’s just like someone that walks through life with nowhere to go. But you sir are the total package. You have the natural ability to play with feeling which is something nobody can teach anyone you are born with it. I just heard about you from the shred video with all the other players. I really dig the tapping at 1:40. Very impressed with your playing! You deserve everyone in the world to listen to your music you have earned it.

[@francescoilluminati5910]

the notes at 1:27 sound like he used a pick but in the vid he is not using it, cool song btw.
