Guitar 2.0 by Manuel Gardner Fernandes and David John Levy

[@artzivon]

Manuel albums are so badass. Not just the playing but the brilliant composing and mixing ! You are my hero.

[@ravenstrange8466]

Please never stop making these basses and guitars, they are astounding, the younger generation of musicians like this are so inspirational. thank you

Wtf is astounding

[@JerRADIOstatic]

David John Levy is just underrated!

[@jacosmusic]

Not by Ibanez. Obviously.

[@RichHeart89]

I love how in the original shorter version Manuel just throws the pick on the floor at around 1:25 of the piece but now, just smoothly palms it to be used later

[@m3m3sis]

I think the initial "fake" shitstorm of Jared Dines payed back big time for Manuel. Awesome.

[@danielelise7348]

Mate this is not directed at you,but the musicians world in general,everyone needs to move on from the whole Jared Dines thing,Jared is an awesome musician in his own right & great guy all round,I think he like a lot of people,just found Manuel's playing alien,the whole percussive strumming thing is still very new & unknown to a lot musicians.But anyways,as I said not directed at you just the musicians community at large.

[@nar____]

Crazy how I used to see random Instagram videos of that dude playing guitar, then Jared Dines accuses him of being fake and he turns out to be a fucking amazing guitar player and now I see him everywhere and especially in Ibanez ads. Good for him tho man, I’d kill to make a living doing what I love.

[@RamonesFan201]

Jared Dines is trash.

[@ifeelfantaastic2425]

[@GraylightSynes]

I'm just blown away by these musicians. I don't know who they are, and I'm baffled that anyone ever accused them of being fake. It's just stupid how many people use their leverage on KZbin for drama and controversy and negativity. How much easier would it be to just listen to this track and say "this sounds great"? That's what I'm doing. Fernandes and Levy are phenomenal. You guys keep doing what you're doing.

[@fullyawakened]

Guitar experts found plenty of reasons, good and bad, to question the legitimacy of their instagram guitar shorts. If you aren't into the inta-musician scene you might be surprised to find it is a full blown phenomena to fake your musical skills on that platform. Manuel didn't respond to any of it just kept his head down and kept playing til he proved himself. That said, he did fake some things, and other people that are not as gullible tried to call that out. So it's not so simple

[@FormaAlert]

@@fullyawakened Which is weird, because I assume for convenience's sake he faked things that he could already do (?). Was thrilled to know he was reputable + in a band to back up his legitimacy and end up one of my favourite musicians, but at the time it was so weird to think about why he would do that.

[@claudevieaul1465]

New instruments for a new generation!!! As an old guy (55) I love and applaud that! Imagine if, when I started out, all you could find was 50s gear... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's how it must feel for the next gen. Keep music alive & keep surprising people! 🤘😎

[@shitmandood]

Your age isn't stopping you from owning or using one...what's the matter with you? Holdsworth used headless guitars in the 80s for fuck's sake! Lenny Breau and Chet Atkins figured out harp harmonics in the 70s... There's no age you have to be to use these guitars. At all.

[@thomasrouvinez9871]

I applaud your approach to this kind sir

[@claudevieaul1465]

@@shitmandood Not saying that am I? I had a Steinberger headless decades ago. I'm just happy to see progress (instead of the Gibson and Fender approach which just get you more of the same old same old), and these instruments fit a new generation. And yes - us old farts can buy them too. And I probably will.

Thank Poliphia for this amalgamation of metal and funk styles.

[@smaller_cathedrals]

@@semijuicer1105 What a baseless assumption. How do you think I ended up here? I've seen both Polyphia and Unprocessed live, for one. You could call me a "fan", I guess. Doesn't change the fact that this style of playing is a massive waste of talent and gear. Of all the things that Manuel is capable, he decides to go for ... this. And the sound? Honestly, you could play that same piece on an egg slicer and it'd sound the same.

[@semijuicer1105]

@@smaller_cathedrals ok

[@kieronphillips63]

As a self professed metal musician, I can't deny the musical brilliance of bands like Unprocessed and Polyphia, they've pushed me to consider clean and percussive guitar in a completely different light. And that's the thing I'll always love about guitar, always new innovators and sounds to discover. I admit I'm not a headless instrument fan, but I deffo want to try both these axes out

[@ISLAReaper]

I like my QX series guitar, but as far as higher end Ibanez goes, it's kinda mid

[@MasonStauffer1367]

[@SaviorYT]

Honestly how do you even practice to get this good? Like, what is the path of learning with all the different techniques? This is fucking incredible.

[@AspiringTrianglePlayer]

Please let me know if you find an answer. Ive also been wanting to know

[@vladionescu8222]

First of all, I suppose you have to really know music theory so you can communicate with the instrument as easy as it can possibly get, and experiment with different techniques until you can come up with your own. So the key here is patience (Rome wasn't built in one day) and to not forget to have fun and enjoy the process =)

[@quantumxfluxmd6821]

Relentless practice. You truly have live and breathe guitar daily for a pretty fair amount of time. The human mind will adapt and learn it. However, some people truly are just better and more gifted no matter the circumstance.
