Javier: Master of every guitar technique that exists. Tosin: Master of every guitar technique that DOESN'T exist.

[@daniell.raharitahiana5727]

This is gold

[@davidjairala69]

Actually tho 😂 it's even better because you can totally see how they've learned to feed off each others' style over the years

[@an_38kitkashyap]

You have to break your right thumb first to play any Tosin's part

[@Lordxfx]

So well put. :))))

[@jac1793]

LMAO

[@janlanser648]

It’s crazy how you can hear javier’s technical experience with classical guitar. His tone is incredible and his dexterity and ability to limit string noise is blowing me away!

[@TheLastCrankers]

That guy's got absolute control over the instrument with no effort. I always was amazed by them, but now even more if that's even possible.

[@E102Gaming]

Javier's playing was tight as hell. That's pro level for ya! :D

[@adamfrary6227]

You can tell he really knows what he’s doing by his right hand technique. Incredibly bent, controlled fingers.

[@SunnyBeeRandomTuber]

...What he said.

[@the_13ct70]

It's a nylon guitar not a classical guitar .. and yes javier is a gifted man , bless ya ll !

[@diegocerecero]

Tosin's playing is awesome, but Javier owned the song

[@jameslyddall]

Roco Cerecer aid love Javier to do his own spanish guitar style album. Theres two videos of him on youtube playing spanish guitar and its so peaceful to listen to.

[@mightycabbage]

Well, he actually has a group, Mestis, whos full of those sweet clean tones

[@sammcdodovaes_1877]

Very ancient greekish tbh haha. A God for sure

[@kebbinator]

Javier is criminally underrated. His playing is flawless and his technique is so tight and effortless.

[@paulremington1465]

Completely and 100% agree with your comment! Can't believe I'm the first to reply and say that.

[@himawarii_gg]

1:53 Virgin Tosin vs Chad Javier with the picking style lmao

[@TomTom-km6bo]

Could have been a tone choice, foo

[@recliff]

I was indeed thinking Javier has an overall better technique than Tosin when it comes to classical guitar picking.

[@chaz_noize]

Tosin is no slouch when it comes to finger picking...he studied classical guitar in college. Javier studied classical *and* flamenco for *many* years. His picado and rasgueo techniques are obviously going to be more polished than Tosin's. They're both phenomenal musicians and human beings either way.🙌🏾❤

[@ItUnidentified]

Chaz Teal watching these guys is always is inspiring

[@Dr.Turkey]

Virgin comparing 2 guitarists vs Chad 2 masters of their craft making great music

[@albertta3903]

I feel like this song is so severely underrated for the live setlist

[@Stefanofazio98]

i think it's just impractical to bring on tour 2 classic guitars that are being used just for this song.

[@TSchellhous]

@@Stefanofazio98 They played it in Anaheim at the Observatory on their second time through on the Joy of Motion tour, it was awesome. They actually played almost all the songs on the album they didn't play the first time.

[@sebastiancoe4708]

I saw them play it for their 10th anniversary tour, tosin had that guitar on a stand next to him and switched for it.

[@PitchforkStudios]

I absolutely love Javier's latin influence in AAL.

[@jamesclawson9243]

You should check out Shubh Saran if you like Indian music fused with jazz rock fusion. The Indian flavor just adds so much spice. Also a good recommendation if you want more time signatures, but also generally more chill grooves.

[@rocesboyanthony5343]

[@JoaoOliveira-qb6vm]

Most of AAL are exactly like that, probably it's because the tempo is always broken

[@Traumglanz]

Can't confirm, sounded amazing right from the start, but I did hear playing god a million times before and that has a very similar vibe. Would not be surprised if Tim was in part influenced by this amazing performance.

I'll add a new Mestis album to this wish. (If you don't know Mestis, you're welcome for introducing you. It's Javier's solo project.)

[@firkinja]

It's music like this that makes me never want to learn guitar. I never want to lose the magic of listening to something this amazing. Once you know the magician's secrets, the magic goes away and is replaced by technique, that is something I would never dream of doing to myself because of music like this. Makes me want to cry. Amazing work.

[@efa666]

I wouldn't let that stop you, if you really want to learn guitar. I've been playing over 20 years and although some of the magic goes away, you have a deeper appreciation in the long run.

[@АндрейМоргунов-з2ь]

It always seemed to me that this band is interesting musician personal collision: Javier obviously is a classical-taught guitar player who later started playing metal music - not talking crap about Javier - he probably needed to learn how to play that sort of music because he's more about traditional jazz guit playin and Tosin has more punk/rock influences first playing Nirvana and stuff then switching to shredding and only years later joining Berkeley-school to discover all the music theory territory. Well in the end both of them came to one point but which is curious from totally opposite directions, almost diametrical.
