Clayton King - ESPADA ft. Spiro (Playthrough)

[@claytonbking]

Really appreciate all the support over the past year. You guys have absolutely changed my life, and I'm super lucky to get to do this for a living now. Thanks for taking the time to jam the new stuff. Hope you dig it 🖤🙏🏻

[@aniketacharya512]

Glad you can share these creative unique songs with us :) Absolutely insane technique!

[@ВиталийАртемьев-э3в]

you're the absolute beast!

[@-hyphenated]

You are by far my favorite guitarist on this site

[@sirnatanielson]

I've been hooked on your stuff since I found it a bit ago. Loving it and keep killing it!

[@fraterlemuele.s.l.d.6435]

THIS JOINT IS FUCKING FIRREEEEEE!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏽🤌🏽 #BUFFALO #NEWYORK

[@JaxGuitarist]

2:44 Spiro shredding at such a high level he's just communicating with R2D2

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

These riffs are absolutely diabolical Also shoutout Alberto on the master

[@SEBASTAINDzig]

Bro is CEO of Down picking .

[@davidhighley2829]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@stevetim2029]

he should have a riff off with john brown

[@SEBASTAINDzig]

@@stevetim2029 Yeah,John Browne writes a thousand of notes in verse part :))he is a Riff Beast 💀

[@cynaptyc]

James who... Lol😂 Yeah, he's absolutely killing it!!

[@davidhighley2829]

@@cynaptyc hahaha you said what I was going to say. They still think James is king and then there is this guy hahaha.

[@bekish]

Let’s appreciate the visuals, what a perfect match - pickguard, pants, and mustache

[@GeorgiaGeorgette]

And it's ginger so he automatically earns all the cool points.

[@geordihills]

Bro is literally glowing. The amount of aura is insane

[@MaxOstro]

2:34 are you kidding Spiro?

[@bhaskarville]

EXACTLY! WTF WAS THAT!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@soiledmytrousers]

That legit made my jaw drop. everything here is super impressive but that was wild

[@LeGrandPleb]

I think my brain stopped functioning right there. That shit was absolutely crazy

[@ctuliebs]

I have no idea what’s even happening there 🤯

[@nikitaprosin3025]

Very impressive song. Technical, but grooves too.

[@BrandonBurch]

This is how I always wished I could play.

[@jamesryder9158]

I know right, you would have to be a virtuoso just to play the rhythm parts lol!

[@TheWokeMachineIsGone]

Exactly,him and Jeff Loomis together would change the world

[@daveehredt3648]

This is truly next level music. I remember when my friends and I would try to find the sickest, fastest, craziest guitar playing we could find. We would sit around and listen Tony MacAlpine, Vinnie Moore, Chris Impelletari, John Petrucci, Joe Stump, Steve Vai, and many many more. I wish I could take Clayton's songs and travel back in time. It would blow everyone's mind! I mean it's mind-blowing now, but could you imagine hearing this back in like 1997? Clayton, you have issues bro. ( I mean that in a respectful, playful way) We are all very blessed to be able to hear this. Keep pumping out these insanely creative songs brother!!

[@eric_z_]

You riffage is moving humanity forward! Thank you!

[@thyweebhub]

So is no one gonna bring up how this whole song relates to one of the best anime’s around Bleach

[@claytonbking]

100%. Tried to give Hueco Mundo vibes on the artwork

[@thyweebhub]

@@claytonbking and I’d say you did it beautifully🤝🏾

[@po9710]

​@@claytonbking BRO I THOUGHT IT WAS A BLEACH REFERENCE! 🔥 Serious Hueco Mundo Arrancar boss battle vibes ⚔

[@grrttshw]

New Guitar... New Single, hell yeah.

[@dabsNbrews]

that is a cool RG

[@nGuruu]

bro not only flexed the insane guitar skills, but the immaculate drip.

[@timlambesis]

Your riffs!!! My favorite modern player blending tasteful and technical

[@alexlvivua]

Dude, Your music is some of the best metal I've ever heard. And I've been listening to metal for most of my life. And the variety you bring is out of this world. Banger after banger. You're simply amazing.

[@Hillcountrytxhuskies]

Spiro’s acoustic part really is the cherry on top to making a Hueco Mundo esque vibe. Good stuff y’all!

[@SlippyRu]

Это божественно !! Такие красочные перепады между куплетами и сразу же стена звука !

[@РокЭндСтоун]

пепец он щедро наваливает

[@GuitarAddict101]

Great collab! BTW, that harmonic at 2:34 is INSANE!

[@TheKyros79]

I love everything about this video. The playing is phenomenal and incredible creative. The whole aesthetic is amazing and that divine curly mustache is just the cherry on the top. I can't wait to hear more.

[@HellanaPandora]

Love it my friend! Awesome as always 🔥🎸

[@simic9664]

Man that is just so incredible! Such intelligent composing and really next level guitar. That Spirodussias section was mind blowing to say the least.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

JESUS!!!! amazing

[@claytonbking]

[@VadikRamm]

For once KZbin recommended something REALLY good! Love the track!

[@anthonychrismignella]

That neo classical part tho!! Hoooly and then the solo. Then the insane heaviness. Bro ur picking is insane!! Insane chops man!!

[@AndersOrozco]

Damn! Man, I don't know how you always come out with the most intense and cool riffs, Every song you make is just puff!!! a Piece of ART

[@alexgrin7073]

Man, I'm waiting for a complete album of your unique stuff. This track is amazing just like the previous ones. Please, release more!❤

[@dustinjohnsonmusic]

This is sick!!! 🔥 and those tones! 😋

[@danielleonard4404]

Dude... you're an absolute MACHINE. Those downpicking riffs got my arms burning just watching. Taking my love of instrumental music to a wholeee new level. Can't wait for more!!

[@ALLforROME]

Right on! Good job sir 👌

[@ryancurfman]

You are my absolute favorite modern metal guitarist. Just incredible riffs and writing. No one else is doing ultra fast downpicked riffs like this either

[@ibrahimniazi2487]

that breakdown melted my balls

[@josuastangl7140]

When Spiro comes on I often have to just pause the video for a minute and laugh in disbelief.

[@husatoledo]

SAME!

[@REMEDIALMusicUS]

Brooooooo…. You already know that this song is insane. Between you two guitarists, I don’t even know what to say. Absolutely speechless Can’t wait to try my hand at writing vocals to this one ❤ keep writing music like this man, it’s so insanely good

[@BLEAK7771]

The production quality just skyrockets with each and every new Video... Absolutely smashing it !

[@CoreyLTM]

Always amazed by your creative approach and skill brother, you’re an inspiration. Congrats on the release 🖤

[@Prey.Rock99]

Clayton has laid foundation for something monumental with his 3 singles yet. Deserving of every oz of glaze

[@TheLieutenant]

Popped up in my suggestions…little did KZbin know I was already an OG Fan!! @claytonbking , you are my hero. Amazing song and killer talent!

[@Mehkanics]

Need more songs!! i was basically going through withdrawals man. KEEP IT Up

[@JonYadonJr]

Amazing brother!!!! Sooo good!! 🤘🎸⚡️🔥🔥🔥

[@joshuaabbott7134]

The artwork for Espada is so sick. I'd totally buy that as a T-shirt if you ever release one. Well done, love this song

[@hernanmanfredi]

Man i rarely like this type of riffing, but you have taken it on another level of articulation, grove and musicality

[@georgezorbas9036]

What is this MASTERPIECE? WHAT EXPLOSION OF RYTHMS - MELODY - RIFFS! Also bravo to Spyros for the flawless solo! wow

[@Beatdown-Enjoyer-Slam-Lover-02]

Bro , I love when KZbin recommends something amazing ... Simply amazing ! Awesome job guys !

[@jameshersheymusic]

Wow, what a monster of a track. Some genuinely sick stuff in here. I love this, dude!

[@TunnelJumper]

I'm obsessed with the syncopation at 0:44. It is impossible not to headbang.

[@dezt]

Wow!

[@wesleytrott6397]

I love that Ibanez RG man! I love how you moved the volume knob position into the tone knob slot (away from the bridge). I did the same thing to my RG Prestige. Made a HUGE difference!

[@Damnusernamestaken]

Bro that song and that solo were truly two sides of one coin - sick stuff.

[@Sandpef]

So damn sick after a few seconds of listening ! Those riffs wow We need more from you

[@johnnygotgrowls]

Absolutely rips

[@BKPickups]

Yes Clayton! Smashing it!

[@pplo]

Cool song. And this Spiro guy is out of this world. Taaaasty solo

[@anthonychrismignella]

Dude!! So sick man! Great tones! Crazy riffs and leads. Lovin this!

[@rubenmedina5050]

I just love your playing style man, excellent music

[@ofthesunofficial]

Awesome song! Hopped over to this video after watching Jacob Umansky's playthrough of this track. Really impressive, damn fine blend of pattern shifts and angular attack

[@philippruizlozano]

Impossible not to headbang 🤘

[@CRYPTOTIGERGROWL]

all of your works bro is a masterpiece 🙌

[@nonyabusinessfuken3449]

He's back! With a bigger and better moustache too! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@JacobMartin]

Absolutely insane dude

[@bretly07]

Fire as always, Mr. King! So heavy in my ears, it broke my chair while I was listening to it...

[@dash_forever5131]

It's crazy how you already have your own signature style man. Be consistent and you'll no doubt be a legend in your own right.

[@afrozo1234]

Came here to say this. After just 3 singles, he's definitely got a noticeably unique style. And it's fucking ultimate.

[@mannymaciel8622]

You guys clearly have never heard of Anup Sastry

[@DroneCorpse]

@@mannymaciel8622….have YOU heard anup sastry??? His hooks, structure is completely different. you’re a tourist.

[@wiskas0944]

Broooo, please make more music like this, is really good

[@JBshreds]

this was the single most CHONK opener I ever heard in my life and those tones are just thin enough to make me drool fucking fuck this was awesome

[@pankajmahanta7493]

Unparalleled arrangement, and awesome production. Complete justification to all the artists and the composition. Respect and support from India 🤘

[@F.A.A.F.0]

Wow your playing is sick! I love the tone.

[@proxorr]

Man your guitars look sick af and your playing is absolutely insane!!! Keep shredding 🤟

[@apitek2]

You are SO F**king underrated. I listen to equivalent exchange again and again on deezer but missed other songs. Discovered your youtube channel and can't be happier, your music matches exactly what I LOVE to listen to.

[@Johnny-ti5jy]

between you and browne sound the most unique out of all the current generation. so good man.

[@yorbenotten6290]

i was not ready for what happened after 2:55

[@Haduj-the-Lion]

lol this stuff smacks you in da face! I love it. Especially the 1:30 part

[@Roamnroll]

Absolutely love the way you attack the notes...

[@SymbiotX]

Love your playing style. Killin it!

[@bdbeats7209]

Amazing song. This type of talent really inspires me to get in the studio.

[@franciscomoreno86]

i listen this, any time what i start my day to work.. all f days!

[@Elias-qj7dq]

i follow both of you on insta so once i saw this video pop up i just knew it was going to be pure insanity

[@bennettarthur7303]

The production quality on this is top-tier 🔥

[@Elias-qj7dq]

[@stevenneufeld-vi4fd]

[@renatanavarromu]

Jacob is always everywhere when I hear good bass, this song is too good

[@aadityanatarajan]

definitely one of the sickest songs I've ever heard.

[@ThatOneGuySometime]

Why does it seem that your technique and talent scale alongside your follicular fortitude? Soon you’ll be bearded like a wizard and melting my brain out of my ears. Keep it up.

[@rarh3643]

Always loved that Tosin sig, I have absolutely no need for 8 strings but that colour combo of the pale blue and tort shell with gold hardware is killer 🔥 looks even better now you’ve put those zebra BareKnuckles in there too! 🤤

[@jmjponeill]

If memory serves correctly, that's his own custom.

[@zibinni]

Это прекрасно! Спасибо!

[@anjy2l332]

Really amazing stuff. This fella is my favorite player right now! Bumping the algorithm with a comment!

[@blackblurable]

First time hearing your music, but better late than never. New sub and fan! Love that Ibanez too!

[@stefanrudeloff2181]

This track is absolutely diabolical! Great work!

[@joshprice7436]

Kuhuhiller fn playing. Clayton's nuanced vibrato techniques with the wiggle stick are amazing.

[@veksel_01]

I'm looking at: "Tuning: Drop F# (dadgad style)". At first I didn't understand where DADGAD was. But then I saw it. Awesome. Man, that's really cool!

[@ghs2798]

Amazing song and beautiful guitar. You are awesome.

[@snop6176]

Oooof this is absolutely sick. Love it

[@dilihimer5813]

Song slaps. Always hyped for a new Clay King single 🤘🏻

[@michelarnet8535]

Wow, that Spiro solo is next level 🙌

[@GODElRigna]

Now those are riffs. ;)

[@scottbeardall197]

How am I just seeing this? Holy shit.

[@KahruSuomiPerkele]

The square aspect ratio is an interesting choice, the music is CRAZY GOOD too.

[@ECol59]

The nasty face I was making from the start of this banger... Bro really gets what makes a good metal riff/song. Keep giving us the stank face brother! God bless.

[@duanuzun]

Man the new look even enchanced his playing! BABE WAKE UP CLAYTON POSTED AGAIN, also your signature is LOOKIN CRAAAZY
