Glass Cloud's Josh Travis gives a guitar lesson on "She Is Well and Nothing Can Be Ill"

[@dominicspizzirri4399]

I would give anything to see a full video play through of this guy.

[@h34dyl4m4rr]

He had one up of My Soul Is Dead from the PWF ep but it was taken down.

[@CVholik]

@@h34dyl4m4rr wow I would love to see that

[@charliesarmmole704]

My dad (a bass player) claims he cant play guitar because he has big fingers. So I showed him this

[@bodytheft]

it does feel so diff

[@FrenchKillerDu77]

Show him Wes Hauch

[@gonkdroid2539]

just let him play bass lol

[@douglasdiggins8296]

Typical boomer mentality. I don't know how oldies make this stuff up.

[@Bassistking]

That first riff he demonstrates reminds me a lot of Deftones' "Romantic Dreams" when it's being played slow

[@daveruckidrums]

Met him and the rest of Glass Cloud on the AP Tour. Such nice dudes, especially Josh. Such a humble, talented guitarist and one HELL of a performer.

[@TheEternalMoonlight]

8 string electric. Christ, this guy's a beast. And he seems like a pretty cool guy too.

[@JoeySchmidt74]

He's on 9s now!!!

[@summeronio9751]

Do you even Tosin?

[@JayMarreroMusic]

Yes!! Now what we need is a full guitar playthrough of that song...or ANY Glass Cloud song!

[@yeahbuddy666]

This man is really amazing at what he does

[@sonofernest]

50 Djent gonna teach yall some shit

[@lahcenbachiri6603]

shit nigga

[@Crazymofoinamajikbox]

Fiddy*

[@sillysiji5257]

Yes that's it. And if after your mind has melted and you can't remember this. Just watch again so it melts even more

[@ANTHONYFERNANDO]

he's a chill dude

[@michaelsharpe6314]

"i like to ditch my pic in this, just because i do, i dont care. PTPTPTPTPTPT!"

[@mnemicaxel1]

this guy is THE MASTER

[@ScottB0612]

Tosin Abasi's long lost brother.

[@MikeF031]

Fell into the tonal abyss

[@MaddesG1]

cousin

[@KippSa]

Man this guy is a great guitar player and just an all around awesome person XD

[@homeinmyhead]

Josh looks like an awesome guy! loves this dude!

[@sskk88forlife]

they fucking kill it live... Josh was really cool in person too

[@McSlipKn0t]

yes sir it is!! I fucking love this guy

[@RobertoReyesChHC]

Damn he's actually quite talented and the songs are more busy than I thought. I know respect this man more as a player. You rock Josh!!

[@giovannislasagna]

That would be fuckin epic. Heaven on earth right there man!

[@Mgonzaa52]

i saw glasscloud live with volumes it was awesome except gc didn't have there drummer he was busy on may 21 guess who filled in on drums that's right John Travis and he was anazing he's got major talent and i got a pic with him and met him an their covalist :D

[@danaschofield593]

His mannerisms and voice really remind me of Josh Scogin from the Chariot/68

[@dreaminginnoother]

another metal hero of mine

[@summeronio9751]

Josh Scogin is a legend

[@gogreyhoundmusic]

drop C is CGCFAd. FCGCFGAe is different. the FC allows you to play a powerchord (F5 is the open) with one finger.

[@arniewince7133]

Amazing! You are good!

[@TheGanjaQueen1]

extremely professional and presented smartly,truely an artist skilled beyond his current level of fame. Hopefully we, as in the consumer bestow a lifetime of sucess to this gentlemen, I would like tosee my money travel to someone actually earning it.

[@rk92505]

Imagine what he could do on bass

[@iratevidscuzicool]

On Danza 3 and 4 he is playing bass on everything. And for the most part, is also responsible for the drums as well.

[@NACHOTHEIST]

***** google Victor Wooten.

[@BigBoss-bw1di]

It's amazing how race is always brought up when a person of a certain complexion is presented. All I see is a person.

[@Owlun]

@@iratevidscuzicool I don't know about Danza 4, but the only thing he had to do with drums for Danza 3 was programming them in pre-production. Obviously still a big part, but he didn't record them for the album, Mike Bradley did that.

[@summeronio9751]

@bleakAntiquity true story. I almost quit music because of that shit. Not my fucking fault, play better

[@TreWatsonMusic]

it's a half step (flatted 3rds 5ths and 6ths help.). :)

[@simonrobb6516]

Becoming a big fan of glass cloud

[@Samus5164]

FGCGCFAD is basically drop C with the regular 7th string tuned down to what would be drop G. Not sure about the F though.

[@DeadHenao]

Mr. T killing everybody with his guitar.

[@trippler786]

im just waiting til someone makes a josh shreds video

[@zacharris3134]

glass cloud equals love!! Bout time for a new album though

[@easydoesit1615]

not meaning to seem dumb, but what effect is at 2:30?

[@charlestoshio]

Pitch shifter shifting the signal up a half step

[@masondeitrick]

Not dumb at all, i was wondering the same thing haha sounds beast

[@etnoedeezivar3237]

Theres a few names for it, but it's just putting a minor harmonic on every note he plays. I play on a fender mustang III, and it's called minor avenger on that amp.

[@Owlun]

As Charles said it's a pitch shifter of sorts. If I'm not mistaken there's a half step down and half step up shift with it.

[@BiRDiEHere]

The tuning is FCGCFGAE. *You can thank me later! :D*

[@supahsekzy]

I gotta cop me one of those Strictly 7s

[@jaredbryant1974]

He seems like a really cool dude. A great guitarist too.

[@jeleopard]

Their first album just came out a year ago...

[@tedbeck8838]

I swear to god, Travis is just making that shit up

[@buttholesurfer101]

I have a whammy pedal and I'm looking to replicate the sound, but I don't think I have anything that relates to a minor 2nd...any suggestions?

[@rjt201]

Fucking dig those guitar tones. Reminds me of after the burial's tones but with a phaser.

[@Surrey_01]

Danza IV is coming out though.

[@6672rock]

Where alternate tunings go, this guy is like the Kim Thayil of modern metal. Soundgarden used to use all kinds of whacked-out tunings too.

[@scottie2hottietfot]

Is this the same guy from The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza?

[@OnwardLemon242]

What do you guys think his scale length is? Where could I find out?

[@lebroncruz7strings]

3:10 sounds like its off the whole tone scale. Is it?

[@MrTommyDUB00]

He usually turns off his distortion preset in the slower demonstrations.

[@suazdee]

I like this man FUCK YEA

[@Claymish]

Its one below the tonic right?

[@GiftGiverMusic]

If anyone says something about Tosin i am going to be pissed. He's not the only person who knows how to tap on this planet, guitarists have been doing it for years, even with multiple fingers, just less so in metal.

[@kryptomiadeathmetalizer8628]

Hey Josh here is my tuning A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z and so on

[@pompeii1275]

Kryptomia Deathmetalizer his high E is tuned to Q W E R T Y

[@TheChrispablo]

video lenght 420

[@GabrielKeilholtz]

actually it's 4:21 too much 420 for you my friend!

[@charliesarmmole704]

Smoke weed everyday

[@Abasedbymygrief]

Chris Meier Happy 4/20 yall

[@markjoven3007]

My God!! tosin abasi need to see this. 😂😂😂

[@Jordy666sic]

Dat tone from 2:29 is the nastiest I've EVER heard!

[@slothyone]

josh needs to record some Danza IV videos so we can see that crazy shit being played!

[@MAR.COmusic]

press 5 and 7 repeatedly in alternating sequence

[@klydemarmasett9403]

I need the tuning explained to me.

[@tarkenton3895]

FCGCFGae So the CGCF is the bottom 4 strings of drop C tuning, put a low 5th below the C for the 8 string. Then you have a major second above the high f to make a g, then another major second above the g for an a, then a high 5th for the high e above that. The major second intervals between strings can make it easier to get those really dissonant grindy chords that josh uses as well as make things sound pretty and fresh. Basically the tuning is strange because it causes him to write fresh stuff

[@Drugvision0]

I'm saying though, what even is that? but it's so perfect

[@PetrZabolotnikov]

JOSH, POST SOME LESSONS ON TONY DANZA MATERIAL.

[@bowlofnuggets]

somebody put this man and tosin abasi in a band!

[@iannisdufreney]

Can someone tell me what guitar it is ?! Thx.

[@danscarp742]

do you know which one he uses specifically ? which unit ?

[@osirisfromhun]

no octaves or any higher pitches? a simple half downtune?

[@Abasedbymygrief]

FCGCFGAE is his tuning. I had to take note of this because he says it so fast

[@KevinKoznarekMusic]

A harmonizer set to a dissonant interval above the notes he is playing. I don't know what the interval is but that is the only thing that can make that noise.

[@mercdrex000]

What is that tapping called?

[@Kickstandsup83]

...tapping...

[@RockandMetal645]

I guess you're referring to the weird tapping at the end. Dissonant Tapping / Atonal Tapping. See Buckethead or Shawn Lane for that stuff :P

[@naomisalama430]

That's sometimes referred to as 8 finger tapping

[@Stashitquick]

so it would be like Drop F tuning? kinda? not really?

[@branm25]

this guy has way too much talent to be in fucking emmure

[@schramcole145]

Emmure might actually be worth listening to now

[@ErikHansenDrums]

Judging by that first new song they put out, nope

[@nzmemckerz8460]

branm25 its worth fuckin now their new release russian hotel aftermath

[@whatokyea96]

russian hotel aftermath is litteraly Glass Cloud 2.0.. and its incredible

[@ErikHansenDrums]

Yep, I take my original comment back. New album is actually pretty sick

[@NILOCOgov]

Word.

[@jonathanonfire]

how could i emulate this on a 6 string?

[@svenlk]

are you in danza stilll?

[@ChaosBeforeOrder]

Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza

[@ftr2216]

use the ernie ball 7 string slinky cobalts but just dont use the high E string they give you so you get a 13-62, adjust your truss rod and tune down, theyre heavy as piss but when you down tune that low, it feels like youre playing lights in standard E440

[@2und2sind4]

that truly is what black metal is about :D

[@CTID41]

Yes.

[@GodsOwnPr0t0type]

"...Thats it, take a go!" Like I can just pick up my guitar and do that >.>

[@Jayb23432]

not to mentioned theres a half step pitch dissonance going on with some kind of pedal...im pretty sure i hear that

[@dudeimtellingthetruth]

BAM

[@biginkman]

Bad Ass!!!!

[@masterofbeasts82]

what´s the name of the song at the beginning?

[@Crazymofoinamajikbox]

THe song he's Teaching....She Is Well And Nothing Can Be Ill.

[@pabloamoon]

Glass Cloud - She Is Well and Nothing Can Be Ill

[@EclipseAtDusk]

30. Though he uses Legator guitars now, instead of Strictly 7 - but he still uses 30 inch 8 strings

[@k5elevencinc0]

Hilarious love Josh!!

[@RockandMetal645]

Weird fn tuning but friggen awesome. I remember seeing Glass Cloud live astonished at what Josh was doing. I still am. lol

[@charlestoshio]

Adds a pitch shifter that shifts it down a half step and splits it left and right. Mathcore status.

[@trackbloopers]

Fucking beast.

[@TonightWeTakeItBack]

Seems like such a nice guy!

[@TheRandomCrapGuitar]

Shit, he seems so cool.

[@yuowmesummeth]

what is that effect tho?

[@x0scimy0x]

Harmonizer of some sort. Ever heard of Rings of Saturn?

[@jeleopard]

It's Josh Travis's Yuck patch. It's like a major 3rd up and a minor 2nd down or some crazy bullshit.

[@tristanjacobelli6721]

jeleopard minor 2nd up and minor 2nd down, it's nuts

[@thetexaschainsawmascara]

what kind of tuning is that o.O

[@ThyArtIsFilming]

He did, but Danza is calling it quits. Let's try to get them to do one more farewell tour tho by buying Danza IIII. If the album sales are good enough, we might be able to get one more tour.

[@SPFUSION5]

"I like to ditch my pick just because I do I dont care" *strawberries* lol

[@iiKaRmAx3SP]

Yo, he fucking shreds.

[@MRandyEvan]

epic gutarist, awesome!

[@XxxDyslexiaScuksXxX]

He is hilarious live.

[@christiankragh8535]

that's it! that's it!

[@kingplutoxiao1]

Oooooooh. Nice one

[@kevmann92]

drop c with drop F on the bottom two strings

[@Gustavgranvik]

Why the hell are the top comments the same?

[@paucceri]

its not a meme arrow, wtf do the arrows have to do with memes. its just the post format from /b/

[@LouSassles]

I want to see him jam with Tosin Abasi jam with him.

[@charlestoshio]

Yessir! Well, he could shift it upwards, but either way it'll work.

[@metalafisha1]

what he uses to make such a nasty sound at 2:33 ???

[@shamalamaaa]

"That's it"..... He makes it sound like it's nothing!!
