Cardiacs Medley, 1979-1983: The Cassette Years (Guitar Performance) // Max Mobarry

[@jimsmith4561]

Nice one Max. . With respect.

[@herbertthecat]

someone said, that Cardiacs had more ideas in one song, than most bands have in a lifetime, so true

[@milesmason1343]

Why hasnt this got millions of views?

[@mralt604]

I want to obnoxiously post this in every metal forum ever. Just so they might start understanding. But on a more positive note, this is terrific. Especially for the best version of 'Nurses Whispering Verses', and 'Is This The Life'. Two of the finest pieces of music in the last 40 years.

Who tf disliked this, this is amazing

[@scottboldberg8494]

Anthony Kiedis, of course. Jim tried to click like, but you know

[@thehotyounggrandpas8207]

The only logical explanation is cats walking on keyboards.

[@EvenStevenDrumz]

IMPRESSIVE! Your love for Cardiacs is very evident, Incredible finger dexterity & timing. BRAVO!!

[@thehotyounggrandpas8207]

You lovely bastard!

[@cheltersful]

Max laudation Max.

[@INSTRUCARP]

I was often amazed that Cardiacs managed to remember what to play and when in a song, such was the ever changing intricacy of their songs. But you've managed to chop up many of these early Cardiacs songs into little bits as a medley and remember what to play where and when, absolute genius! Tim would be most impressed, well done matey :-)

[@MaxMobarry]

That's so lovely of you to say, thank you ^^ And for pointing out how delicate a medley of this stuff can be, I love that part of the process. It's like crafting a new song that has to flow, but also hit the nail on the head with each track in a concise way, because honestly every Timmy tune has such a spark to it that editing ANYTHING out becomes a struggle hahaha. Learning it was actually the easiest part, I obviously didn't have a click track but after spending so much time splicing the tracks together I was familiar enough with how big tempo shifts would be between the songs, familiar with what little edits I made and all that. It just became about putting the actual notes/fretboard to the parts for each snippet, and most of all remembering what order they were in with 36 little bits to represent. Luckily I went in knowing how to play through most of these tunes already so I only had to learn a handful, mostly from Obvious Identity

[@vincentsheehan3193]

A tremendous medley well done

[@dougyuck]

The most fabulous spectacle worthy of all laudation in the world.

[@whoghostthereparanormal6013]

Awesome work. Long live Tim !

[@ashdevra]

Utterly brilliant - thank you for doing this Max

[@chriso5040]

FANTASTIC stuff !! I have only just seen this Max

[@fantasymetal]

very very very great

[@georgmuffat]

stunning work - thank you for brightening my day!

[@fcamiola]

Wow!!! Timmy would be so proud.

[@andywhitemusic1997]

Channelling Tim!👍❤👍

[@aliensporebomb]

Freaking bad-ass! Big respect! Some of the most cripplingly unplayable yet cool music ever.

[@RaBob]

marvelous. just want to show this to every guitarist who thinks they're really good and say, "OK then, play this!"

[@fosbrothers]

staggered at how many of those I recognised

[@perromanchado]

Outstanding! 😃

[@unk4140]

That bit from Pilf is probably my favorite guitar riff in all of history

[@hplovehandle]

Worthy of laudation!

[@fcamiola]

As much as I love the Garage live version of Wooden Fish on Wheels, the original studio version has the perfect tempo and groove. Love em both, but I really love the original.

[@MaxMobarry]

Totally with you there, the reggae-style upstrokes are so groovy in the original. The live one is so "amped up" like the rest but that's one that really shines on The Seaside

[@jaquesaulait]

Bloody marvellous.

[@michaelgregg9700]

V excellent!

[@hermesgonzalez4886]

Grande max... Saludos desde chile!!!!!

[@pulp2560]

Inspiring, thank you.

[@SentimentalHogwash]

Daaaaaaaang!

[@debzmaher6875]

[@kuadz]

I'm speechless! Wow!

[@miami5342]

Utterly fantastic

[@MaxMobarry]

@@TONE11111 I loved this show so much, it was a delightful pre-pandemic treat :)

[@MaxMobarry]

Rumour has it that this remark got me in motion. Thanks Shelby ❤

[@moggyroe]

This is unreal. Total envy at the ability to play these songs and have fun with it... If I attempted 1/10th of the riffs from this I'd have bitten through a lip trying to concentrate.

[@PoL2118]

Kickin ass cuz!!!!

[@jonnymiskatonic]

Fantastic as always, thank you

[@Yourweakminds]

That's a thing!! Woooosshhhh.

[@theboraxbandit9563]

This is so dope my god

[@DrGodinho]

awesome

[@middlelanebasil]

👏👏👏 Max ☹️🌼

[@rainbowsludge660]

Amazing! Love this! My favourite tribute, and there are some damn fine ones, but this is superb.

[@unknown6390]

This is so awesome! My only gripe is that you only played the ending to My Trademark and none of the other incredible riffs on that song! Grr! Oh well, you had so much to play, this whole video is an impressive feat of guitar performance and it definitely showcases Tim's incredible and underrated guitar work. Salutes to you!

[@VoidEon]

Nice!

[@sukottora]

Well played young feller. Our Tim could play a bit huh?

[@sicko_the_ew]

I suppose the one to ask for would be The Duck and Roger the Horse? Dunno. I'll have to get some advice first, and see.

[@MaxMobarry]

Funny enough I performed it live in July for a stream with my band. I also sell transcriptions and happen to already have that song completely written out for all instruments -- I could use the money if you'd like to play it for yourself.

[@sicko_the_ew]

@@MaxMobarry I just thought I'd mention a song, seeing as you asked before the medley. I'll keep in mind that you sell transcriptions, though. (I'm first working on teaching myself the triangle part - on an old horseshoe I once found). I enjoyed your medley immensely, BTW.

[@jackclausen1962]

Fucking outstanding

[@antlermagick]

This is seriously amazing! You don't need a bassist do you? 😁

[@enkoid]

Brilliant! Awesome! Other adjectives! Why I didn’t learn of that band until about a year and a half ago is a fucking crime against humanity that should be investigated by the UNHRC.

[@barkmarket01]

You clever sod x

[@pulp2560]

Bravo

[@renottoner6120]

Awesome!!!!
