Discovered this gem of a song about 3-years ago and I still listen to it about twice a week.

[@MorganReidguitar]

6:40 the lick.

[@marcussoderberg7422]

It's too good not to use ;)

[@dOmGoNz1991]

+Morgan Reid signature FQ sound there

[@milwaukeejohnson906]

+Morgan Reid with the sweeps.. beautiful. sounds like something i would write

[@sephrinx4958]

+Morgan Reid Which lick? "The" lick.

[@MrShagification]

+Morgan Reid Only Jazz kids will understand.

[@mangata4225]

The chord voicing and sense of melody in this song is incredible. I more or less love everything about it. Really great work dude!

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+Màngata Thank you :)

[@EknineEd1385]

This song's a masterpiece. Great work.

[@JgHaverty]

My god... that fretboard is delicious haha

[@Dr3amDisturb3r]

+JgHaverty delicious is so accurate xD

[@edwinmaldonado3191]

+JgHaverty lol, that's the first thing i thought too! as you can see from the comment above

[@rbergan]

+JgHaverty Came here to say exactly this. So glad it was already at the top.

[@kevkev00333]

anybody got an idea what wood that is, might order a skervy in the near future and I'm loving that grain.

[@JgHaverty]

+theBorritotrooper it's pretty ambiguous sadly. could be a nice piece of rosewood, ziricote, bocote, *shrug*

[@Dark_Aves]

6:40 the lick. i cant escape it lmao

[@MorganReidguitar]

Man the beginning of that melody screams Plini.

[@marcussoderberg7422]

People keep telling me that, but I cant recall the song you might be refering to? Mind telling me which one?

[@edpomakotoromeiro]

yes

[@TheOrchidThief]

marcus söderberg i guess its because plini uses that melody a couple of times: selenium forest 2:58, opening 2:03 and orm 2:39. besides that i really like your stuff, its refreshing and something new!

[@marcussoderberg7422]

Fred TheOrchidThief Haha alright! It wasn't intentional but I guess there is a similarity. Sorry if it bothered anyone. Thanks fred!

[@RadddahTat]

Morgan Reid plinis a scumbag

[@MrHestichs]

06:38 lol sick reference bro. For those of you who don´t know what it is, it´s "the lick" the alltime jazz inside joke and reference to use.

[@iFireRonin]

It's the Wilhelm scream of the music world

[@Chapeau362]

Just heard it, wondered if anyone else recognized it, hehe

[@SkunkDozer]

Haha, awesome! For those who don't know, here's the lick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaOnqZuklrB3bbM

[@crestfallen821]

it's like an easter egg haha reminds me of Necrophagists use of "für Elise"

[@cerebralharvest882]

much talent such melody many wow

[@MusiicyPowaa]

I'm in such love with how progressive metal / djent keeps evolving. Then I find ANOTHER group of guys like you, guys. This was really sweet to listen to

[@BLDH]

this vid is included in my study playlist. so i play it at least 3 times a day. im not getting bored of it.. ever!!

[@AL-nh3tn]

I'm drooling over that fretboard.

[@milwaukeejohnson906]

6:17 to the end is the best part imo harmonized sweeps are my number 1 love

[@devonboes2376]

The bass line is amazing very nice combination of jazz and metal. I love it

[@krinkedsurface]

Still in as special spot in my heart!

[@unbredbeast]

and now you have a new fan good job sir good job

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+unbredbeast Thanks!

[@jasonmckay9343]

Man, I dig that song.. Love the guitar

[@tylerk6543]

This song is perfect. More please.

[@MadMick225]

This is really nice. A very well arranged and thoughtful piece. And yes, that fretboard is tasty.

[@xXDrillethXx]

This is sick, and that guitar man!! One of the best looking guitars I've ever seen

[@dOmGoNz1991]

+xXDrillethXx Skervesen guitars, look them up

[@xXDrillethXx]

I will, thank you!

[@markthompson18]

+dawnofspiritualawakening Poor man's Hypemachine...

[@dOmGoNz1991]

+Mark Thompson pretty sure skervesens cost more than ormsby... I also fail to see why you feel your opinion matters here.

[@LilithFilth]

Gorgeous, and totally mesmerising to watch

[@Tranxhead]

6:20. Chills at the sudden chord/key change.

[@Capntoolbox]

nicely recorded and mixed! that bass tone is pretty tasty!

[@danielmazariego890]

You know what I use this instrumental for? To sleep! ❤ this is the most calming song I have ever heard, not even rain calms me like this does

[@node_rec]

It’s so beautiful. Congrats for composition. I loved.

[@juturna]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH....this is my new waking up song!

[@theReignofRon]

[@theReignofRon]

+Marcus Söderberg dude thank you. ive been going through a rough patch in life. something bad even came up last night. your sound has inspired me and given me hope that things will get better. im even starting my own music project. im waiting on my guitar as we speak. youve influenced how i want do my own style. i cant thank you enough. keep up the good work my friend.

[@theReignofRon]

[@theReignofRon]

+Marcus Söderberg aww well thats alright thanks anyway :)

[@dsavish]

your best song yet!! masterful piece. can't wait for the full album.

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+dsavish Thank you! I have been very busy.. and had to postpone the release that was scheduled for this summer initially. I wont let this release suffer due to bad production/songwriting as some of the filler songs for the last ones did :)

[@dsavish]

sounds good to me. take your time. i know it'll be worth the wait!

[@harshkanodia3095]

Beautiful!

[@Zachajewia1110]

That whole riff into the breakdown part around 4 minutes was crazy

[@ZzFREDEzZ]

Awesome, so relaxing and melodic!

[@420protoman]

really like the bass in this song when it kicks in at 1 minute into the song...

[@RafaelOliveiraBR]

Beautiful tones and music. I liked specialy the intro!

[@Bi0hazardOpeth]

This is amazing, can't wait for more.

[@benjaminjentgen3596]

Very cool, I like how the parts are articulated, between clean and distorted guitar :) Keep it up!

[@buhuhahahaha]

Hi Bro! I compose music too and I go in the same direction more or less. I stopped by and wrote a comment just to say that this inspires me and that it's a very very good song!!! My respect!

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+buhuhahahaha Nice! Thank you!

[@TorqueOfficial]

Man, this is so beautiful. Keep it up guys!

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+Torque (torqueofficial) Thank you! Working every day to try to finish the next album

[@jacqueszekian6954]

[@noahread1497]

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+noah read Thank you! :) I'm glad to hear that

[@KryselITG]

Beautiful sound...

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+EX_Sakiko Thank you!

[@KryselITG]

You are very welcome! I've been thinking about learning guitar and this is some good inspiration for me :)

[@edwinmaldonado3191]

that guitar's fretboard....is beautiful

[@karlb7059]

Incredible!

[@marcussoderberg7422]

100K views?! This is madness! Thank you to everyone for supporting me

[@mrhamburgler480]

I'm the pickiest musician ever when it comes to music, and dude you got a like from me fersure. the layering of the guitar tracks is phenomenal in this. it isn't overly produced if that makes sense, able to clearly hear what's going on within the song as a whole. hopefully after I acquire more digital based gear I can get my stuff out there on youtube, I can't wait. but my point is this track is truly an inspiration to me man. really dude. well done, you deserve the 100k views.

[@rreddrop]

this is super tasty. looking forward to hearing more from you!

[@AL-nh3tn]

I love the lead on this

[@ABeardedPanda]

I love this song, awesome job man!!

[@NewNoviceKid]

beautiful song!!!

[@rimythemurloc]

The Djentlemens Club brought me, I watched because of guitar thumbmail

[@jakemodlin1944]

melodic PERFECTION

[@sephrinx4958]

What has the heavens blessed us with? Also, what is that amazingly gorgeous guitar?

[@stijn12100]

it's a blackmachine guitar

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+Stijn Eikens Hey man, It's actually an skervesen :)

[@DerrickSchneider]

Awesome!!

[@sacredxgeometry]

for fans of Plini, Scale the Summit, and David Maxim for sure.

[@Desmolas]

Hey Marco, bumped into you at techfest. Cool dude

[@nunolance23]

Dude that was great!

[@Chris-ms4ch]

Good job dude, I like your style!

[@projecteidolon1786]

Very well done. I purchased it because it's really worth :)

[@theyurireviewer]

Plini mark 2

[@Remnasts]

+alice margereta Motif at the start reminded me of him too

[@theyurireviewer]

+Reggie yup This is more a check list for me to see what artists i haven't found yet

[@a3uu]

+alice margereta Agreed. You can tell there was an influence but he remains distinct - the mark of a true composer imho.

[@northerchild]

Amazing

[@karstenklaas1253]

really great i love it !!

[@xX_EchoPlays_Xx]

i get a very Plini like vibe from this and im ok with this

[@stevenklavins5714]

Wicked man, love it

[@Concensusdown]

Tune the snare drum up with a drum key please

[@marcussoderberg7422]

I will re-mix and master everything for the album release! This isn't even close to a final mix, but thanks for the feedback!

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

I second this notion. For progressive and technical songs like this. I tight snare compliments the articulation that this song requires.

[@nunchuksteev9811]

Still amazing in 2024.

[@heardlessmusic]

Indeed.

[@robertjrdurham396]

collab with widek or sithu aye. your style is perfect

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+Robert Jr Durham We'll see what happens! ;)

[@nicolosesta6424]

I want an LP, plz :)

[@ChalkyWilston]

In case you missed it, he did on his new album!

[@heirtomadness]

my god... the writing kills.

[@v12kid]

nicely done

[@moongoatfon9421]

really encouraging me to create music man keep up what you love doing! This was a great song my dude!!

[@MSLcorp]

I've been jammin' this so much lately, when do you're releasing more of this fine piece of art? :D

[@marcussoderberg7422]

Summer 2015 if everything goes as planned! I might release another song sooner though

[@acidbath3226]

this is super dope

[@geralddyas599]

this is a piece of musical art, absolutely excellent , is the album out yet.

[@jessehampton3725]

Jeezum crow. I bet I could blow on that guitar and it would fret a note. Looks like it plays amazing.

[@bracingfawn5642]

Awesome South African djent band! \m/

[@simbaIism]

i like this alot

[@R3spectTheV3t]

I feel like this is the guitar version of call of duty and this dude hit prestige and got all the cool guitar weapons lol

[@griffinrl]

That run at 4:05. OMG

[@MorganReidguitar]

Also.. sick song! :D

[@ducttapeengineer933]

This is fucking phenomenal

[@Elwood0]

This is so beautiful, any tabs

[@TheLucasGregory]

Coisa linda!

[@jeremiahpenner8888]

Is anybody else tired of the bullshit on radio that has no talent at all? We all need to make a movement and support bands like this and move them to mainstream. It's time cuz im fucking tired of this club and rap shit that push buttons and call it music. These bands put a life time of dedication and learned a skill that will never be respected but because it's not poppy it will never be listen to or respected. Keep this shit alive

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+Jeremiah Penner Thank you man :)

[@jeremiahpenner8888]

Your welcome brother I love this shit, you guys fucking rock

[@jeremiahpenner8888]

Do you play all the instruments man?

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+Jeremiah Penner Fifth Quadrant is my own project, but I only play guitar and bass. The rest is programmed! I write everything though :)

[@jeremiahpenner8888]

+Marcus Söderberg Fucking bad ass man, extreme respect

[@transforminggravity15626]

Cool 💯💯💯💯💯🤟🔥

[@monxoo25]

Nice guitar

[@thiagodossantosfontana3259]

Marcus Söderberg.. that incredible music seems one piece, I'm amazed by great talent, I would like to have in Guitar Pro 6 is Music to learn touch it would be an honor to enjoy it on my guitar

[@lodew]

NICE!

[@mrrock7675]

Good job

[@totalguitarcovers2770]

This is so good !!! Keep it up! :D

[@Zachajewia1110]

Mmmm I enjoy this a lot.

[@JonatasOliveiraOFICIAL]

veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy gooood!!!!!!

[@jeroHAZE]

Amazzzing song B-) Tabs please! :)

[@matthewramroop]

Your music and guitar are dericious 😛😛😛 Update: Inspirational as well

[@gabeb8848]

what gutiar is that? i never seen a guitar with a similar headstock other than a parker... could it be?

[@exxxo45]

That is just an incredibly sexy, unique guitar! Do you mind sharing what's the make and model? Super curious, I didn't see this question being asked already

[@gohil_yajur]

super awesome... \\m// ... inspirational

[@SirBios]

would like to know what kind of vst was used from 5:10 to 5:30

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+Nik cher Project sam > orchestral essentials > concert harp ! that harp vst plus my regular cubase steinberg piano :)

[@SirBios]

+Fifth Quadrant thank you for you reply, thats quit an expensive VST to have. BTW love your music, keep up the good work.

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+Hame Hacksaw Strange, the installation went really smooth for me.. Currently running cubase 8 pro. I bought the education version since I'm studying full time.

[@IntraMorphicReality]

+Marcus Söderberg What are you using for tones? They sound great. Judging by the Skervesen I would say an AxeFX?

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+Nikk Cypher Axe fx standard! The original unit. Bought it used for a good price :) Well, as sad as it sounds everyone is using an axe fx these days. I had to jump the train just to try it out. I love the unit though, since it fits my needs very well.

[@sulivandavi]

Some TAB to download ??

[@stefansegulja1428]

Great composition and production! What do you use for drums?

[@tofolcano9639]

hey, that's pretty good

[@barriomeister]

4:52 Are you doing hammer ons or alternate picking for that lick? +Fifth Quadrant

[@marcussoderberg7422]

+Niguel Barrio In the video it seems like I'm skipping some of the picking.. never thought of it before actually. I usually play what feels best and in this case i guess a combination of both is what I'm using. I tried playing it a few times just now and that is the way it's most comfortable for me. It's not that hard to play either way though, however it sounds better with those starting accents on the A string picked hard!

[@barriomeister]

+Fifth Quadrant Thanks so much! I love your playing
