Currents - Monsters (guitar playthrough)

[@tylerstewart4600]

I'm fascinated by the way he holds his pick

[@3101max]

alot hold their pick like that. tom searle ola and misha come to mind

[@Freakfuzz]

And George Benson 🤟🏼

[@maxjenkinson3179]

A lot of the guys who started playing guitar hero do.It's the reason Nolly tracks for periphery, he has a better picking technique.

[@ISLAReaper]

How does it not slip out?

[@MuffnTop420]

🤣 thats how I hold my pick. An u hook ur pinky under the high E string for stability an muting the higher strings

[@yagoovirus2751]

I love melodic desonant riffs like this being used in right way

Good song, very catchy and you can tell it’s supposed to be a crowd pleaser but it’s done very well. Kill The Ache and Better Days are probably my favourites.

This is really heavy. I like how metal has evolved the last few years

[@HybridSpektar]

Heavy, yet melodic

[@phanaticz]

Going from 6 string to 7/8 really made a big difference in Metal music.

[@paulreuter3284]

The pre-chorus riff is sick and that solo sound so good!

[@RM-uy3ec]

I personally prefer his work in shadow of intent but the fact he's able to put out baller music in two diff bands goes to show how talented a guitar player Chris wiseman really is

[@HybridSpektar]

It just sucks he's the main song writer for Currents. So whenever he's busy with Shadow, Currents is put on hold.

[@DrumRoody]

I never really appreciated Currents until this album came out. This is probably one of my favorite albums by any band to come out in the past few years.

[@forevermarked5826]

Wow...once I first heard Place I feel safest that was it. I was hooked. They became my fav band of all time. And I'm from Massachusetts, found out over year ago they from CT, which is ten min away

[@neverthere1519]

@@forevermarked5826 crazy you say that! That’s basically what happened with me. I heard The Place I Feel Safest and now they’re easily my favorite band. Brian is my inspiration in being a vocalist and Chris is phenomenal on guitar. I also happen to be from Massachusetts. It’s a great place to be from if you’re a currents fan because they always make sure to come around the area on tour

I played a riff similar to this with my band in the basement. It was awesome, Until my sister said the house shook the dining room upstairs & her petagree bird died & fell off the perch. She is still pissed.

At least it died to some metalcore.

[@jimajello1028]

@Nicholas Stilinski Nicholas, so true . Yes the dam bird was a pain . It would carry on swuakin over any sound. I took a inovated solo lead on a stereo 67 Rickenbacker 12 string thru two amplifiers. It was like one of those Charlie Parker moments. The Band was shedding into another dimension. Truthfully, I felt bad about the bird.

What’s he doing at 3:15 to get that sound?

[@espjoshua]

At first, I thought it might be some type of harmonic or pinch harmonic, but I actually think it could be a whammy pedal since I don't see him hit the string in any way when it happens.

[@alexandruv]

Yep that's def a whammy pedal

[@matthewmerrill1433]

I figured it out, if you look closely at the part before he switched to the middle position on his pickup switch and then if you look at him as he does the hand movement he's moving the switch back down, nut sure what crazy wizard shits going on but obviously that has something to do with it

[@JonnySniper911]

@@matthewmerrill1433 I don't think he's switching pickups there. I watched a couple of time at 0.25x speed and I'm pretty sure he only does an upstroke on that high e (whatever name it has in that tunning, you get what i mean). He for sure use a whammy pedal or put the effect in post like he explained in his the way it ends track by track.

[@chriswiseman1522]

Check out the "Currents - The Way It Ends (Track By Track)" on Sharptone Records KZbin Channel, there I explain how I get the whammy effect as well as tons of other effects I do in our music!
