HOS DOWN Jason Richardson Live @ Ernie Ball Booth NAMM 2019

[@Bananapig9]

He’s a living version of “Betcha can’t play this”

[@daoyang223]

The craziest one I've seen was Chris Broderick's lick. The amount of tapping is crazy.

[@jeffwilliams3224]

Totally! Those were fun to watch back in the day.

[@deejaycalanoc]

Wow he does an amazing job keeping up with the guy on the TV screen. He plays it exactly like him.

[@clo7245]

💀💀💀💀😂

[@Dulnlop]

actually, he's even a slight bit ahead of him!

[@Oilid]

The man is so good that he has to wear a massive watch to slow down his left hand! 😂

@FiniteAutomaton Well he's good AND fast. Foetus.

@FiniteAutomaton 🤣🤣

[@josuastangl7140]

You can be fast without being good, but you're not good if you don't also have the ability to go up to a certain speed. Jason obviously beeing way past that certain speed.

[@codybryant9049]

This is pretty incredible considering he's had to learn all that remains entire set in like a month, so to be able to play all those songs and this shit is remarkable. Such an Amazing guitarist

[@SkyvDen]

@Dylan Gruenloh No. Not at all..

[@kad0877]

@Dylan Gruenloh Eh, as much as i loved oli herbert technically jason richardson is literally on a different planet. Oli wrote some amazing riffs though and he is still the entire reason i started learning guitar. But you have to take a step back and realize jason is a once in a lifetime guitarist and honestly i don't think anyone will top him in a long time, guy is the most technically proficient and clean guitarist i've ever seen, and he has a very very VERY rare knack of being able to play very fast and technical stuff without it just being the same couple of scales like jacky vincent.

[@kad0877]

@Dylan Gruenloh could be, he is human after all lol. Only reason I say what I've said is I've seen the dude live since he was In born of Osiris and I've been amazed by him almost every time. And I mean to the point where its the only thing I remember from their sets

[@kad0877]

@Matthew Davies I actually haven't heard his solo stuff, I'll check it out, and im not going by what other dudes say i've listened to falling in reverse for a long while and I've never been impressed by most of their solos except the odd one or two here and there

[@CHOPERUS23]

When you've learnt theory for years nothing is too difficult to learn.

[@stuffwithjon]

My new fave guitarist. This song is a clear flex, and it still retains all the musical integrity. Sounds to me like a masterpiece

[@jimyang6285]

This is definitely next level flex

The only thing more intense that seeing this beast perform flawlessly is watching the intense performance of his adams apple

[@frankiebob1191]

Most guitarists would put their own solo into where the guest solos are but dang you did that as clean as Rick Graham himself! Jason can really play anything

[@darkwarbr]

So much respect for playing the Graham's solo same as on the original track.

[@nostalgiajunkie]

He actually improvised a bit and was more expressive with the bends and pinch harmonics thrown in there, super impressed with how far he’s come in terms of phrasing and improv. He consistently gets cleaner and cleaner.

[@tiaraguy7705]

2:08 is still probably my favorite part of the song along with the divebomb solo. They just sound so badass.

[@bloodhavenofficial]

Genius!

[@Mikekhitz]

Great playing! 🤘🏼🤘🏼❤️

[@scarlet699]

JR playing all of those incredible fast notes but it seems that he struggles every time he tries to play Rick's solo, awesome non the less

It’s as if JR is trying to capture the spirit of what Rick does, but their personalities in playing is so different at times. I love his genuineness to it as he can.

Me, not playing well: It's gotta be this medium-sized watch, it's constricting my movement. *takes off watch* Me: There, much better. *still sucks* JR: *proceeds to shred magnificently for 7 minutes with Big Ben's clock on his wrist* Me: I quit.

This has got to be the most stressful job ever. He could choose to play quarter notes sometimes instead of quadzillionth-notes.

[@tyryztoll]

Impressive, but when he gets older and has to try and play this live he'll be like "Why the HELL did I do that?"

[@musicased9591]

Jason is like Goku, all his riffs are just challenges he wants to overcome to get even stronger and he wears a 100 pound watch to build up even more strength so when he finally has to take it off he doubles his power.

I’m really glad someone out here is keeping rustey cooleys guitar legacy alive. Cuz Chris storey damn sure isn’t going to. Jason has taken rusteys shred style and made that shit his own bro. I honestly think Jason’s better IMO. But that’s just me. I remember when Jason did his covers of all shall perish and then he’s in all shall perish. Lol what a transition that is.

[@chadmarx7718]

Nope. He uses light af strings. Even on drop F he uses a 56 (and on a fkin 25.5 scale guitar too)

[@hooviedoovie5220]

I was really hoping the jazz section would actually be improvised but it was the same as the original.

[@matthewbarnard1178]

Dudes really good and amazing speed and technical skills but i dont think itd be as good if you werent watching him do it

[@MAGAMAN]

Yeah, he's extremely proficient and very fast and clean, but it's not the kind of stuff you can just listen to.

[@djevon4853]

I also disagree. I first started listening to him through Luke Holland (the drums in this album) and started listening to his stuff. Then I found videos and such. His music is great to me audibly and visually.

[@matthewbarnard1178]

I love the guitar, i play a lot, i have a video on my page of me doin an eddie van halen solo thingy not bragging or anything just saying how much i love electric guitar and this is a bit much, granted this guy can probably play anything under the sun, his physical and mental ability is through the roof excellent but there doesnt seem to be any feel. Its like hes a programmed robot and doesnt even seem like hes enjoying doing it himself, it seems like hes focusing so hard on which notes to hit he cant even listen to it and feel it and enjoy it or even do any improv, But kudos to the guy hes doing a hell of a lot better than ill ever do and hes making it work and making money. but if he got some feel in there he would be one of the greatest, the reason people like this arent household names are because theyre playing to impress other musicians not the common listener

[@666miyuru]

It's just this direction that most new metal bands are heading towards that turns me off too. All that djent/sweep picking/breakdown centric crap should have stayed in the mid 2000s where it should be. Animals as leaders to me really is the best example of the kind of music you're talking about.

[@dooboio7816]

@@jimyang8824 Then that's a weird way to say it. Implying that someone is like someone else but on steroids is usually, in the guitar world, that they sound alike but one of them is much more technical. I don't hear any similarities in the sound of JR in comparison to JP. He's a technical monster though and puts out cool music.

He def suffers the same problem Goncalo Pereira has. Writing music that is just too demanding to play standing and live. Goncalo would do a 3 octave pentatonic scale riff for example and it's just like... 5 nps is not possible or practical in a live setting

[@skeletonrowdie1768]

kronosecw 5nps is just eights at 150 bpm, but yeah i agree that it gets very hard for songs like these

[@jamesdewey133]

Adam Jones from Tool plays all of Tool’s stuff live, stands still, and delivers the most beautiful performance your ears will hear, it’s not about how much they move or how hard the song is, it’s about the beauty and cohesion of the music.
