Jason Richardson SLAYS "Retrograde" on guitar at NAMM 2018

Played through Toneforge Jason Richardson available now at joeysturgiston...

[@rawen127]

the tone and playing are absolutely fantastic, but i think it would be a huge improvement if you would just put one camera on a tripod and uploaded that footage instead of hiring the next best drunk dude

[@alpenjodel24]

there's also tons of youtube channels that understand this kind of camerawork is bullshit.

[@johndoe-mn2zs]

Joey Sturgis you're not always right dude. Chill.

[@azhaz578]

hahaha, whoever shot this must have looked like such a douche.

[@Wren6991]

Yeah it's so boring when you can see what the fuck is happening in a video. Much better to shake the camera around randomly and throw in a jump cut every 2 seconds

[@Wren6991]

You would be a great cameraman for a radio show

[@MilianMalivukMusic]

Can't sometimes even see what he was playing because of the drunk camera style.

[@OBraitis13]

Check this out if you like Jason kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmWrYYGDhamqgtE

[@JesterialInsanity]

Joey Sturgis True, but it’s almost unbearable to watch and detracts from the playing. It’s annoying as hell.

[@YoungBloodyBlud]

True i suffer from epilepsy this is hurting my eyes and brain

[@dragonnight97]

you're attitude is unbearable no wonder ur channel woudn't grow. take an L

[@sandshark789]

yeah the bottom camera is pretty obnoxious lol.

[@ederolima]

2:10 best part.

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Imagine how fast he could play if he put that huge watch down :O Like son goku with that shell on his back.

[@natebassili2143]

D'Works the watch is even bigger in person

[@higorhanschen]

rock lee vs gaara.amv

[@sergeiprimal]

Stan from South Park is fkng shred))

[@ooferrell]

Primal glad I'm not the only on that noticed that :)

[@jayrichard5358]

Lmfao

[@Ignore14]

god that editing is annoying

[@Ignore14]

Yes. WOAH EPIC ANGLEZ AND SHAKYCAM DOOD

[@johndoe-mn2zs]

Joey Sturgis yes

[@JoshLin]

shackycams are so unnecessary

[@Rawnfella]

Swaying with the camera makes me want to throw up

[@Shark_Sandwich]

I'm struck by equal parts admiration and motion sickness after that... 😀🤢

[@alpenjodel24]

yes the camerawork is fucking horrible

[@tylernoice8770]

Can he mess up just once? Just to prove he’s human?

[@hbladeh]

This is just a cut youtube video mate, don't judge upon this :D Watch live namm videos, for example "titan". He misses a lot in the insane sweep, but that's no wonder, that part is nearly unplayable live. He is an incredible guitarist.

[@ambrooks5]

hbladeh Damn near all his songs are unplayable period lol

[@craigjones4274]

Watch his aviator solo video, he fucks up at the end xD

[@lamborgatti-4783]

Craig Jones 😂

[@LorcanWard]

Can you get someone to upload these again without the constant edits since it distracting and takes away from the playing, tone, song etc

[@BrandonArd91]

well you're wrong.

[@LorcanWard]

Tons other comments saying the same thing with hundreds of upvotes ; )

[@CaptnShred]

Amazing playing and tones. Also, I need more Jason/Spencer collabs

[@CameronFleury]

Such a sick guitar player. Great tones! \M/

[@wutherer]

Wow that camera work gave me severe vertigo! Anyways I'm here to see JR slay Retro and it was done swiftly!

[@davidaames8280]

he missed a note at 1:26 !!!!! jajaja sick anyway

[@andrewhetes1623]

The slowmo coffee taunt gets them every time. *intently staring at his boys* "Jason they're not ladies you can stop now."

[@Joescanzillo]

His new song he played was absolutely bonkers man!

[@natebassili2143]

If you're debating on whether or not to go see him live on The Way Forward tour with Intervals, then stop debating and buy your damn ticket cause he's just as nuts live, my dudes!

[@songzhanzong]

Indeed - I was floored by his performance! Just as good live as in the studio recordings.

[@MickZarco]

The closeup with the beverage. 😂

[@DavidValles]

Please sir, may I have some more?

[@ezramalzbender7934]

David Valles plz tell that was a garfield reference

[@_beaverrr]

MOREEEEE OF JASSSONNN

[@achillesamusic]

I'm pretty sure that's clips from the guy that was dancing with the cam in front of Jason x)

[@finley490]

It's weird, when I watch Jeff Loomis play at Namm however many years ago, I specifically remember not getting a headache throughout his two videos. I made it 1:38. Thanks cameraman lol dafuq

[@taariqahad]

man the camera work was TOO much... I just wanna see him play it front on/headstock cam .-.

[@raphael3215]

I don't think that was a compliment?

[@musicmanpiezo]

2:05 lol :D

[@abhishekdudeja9186]

That string skipping is fucking impressive

[@yourself88xbl]

Jason is everything a metal guitarist ahould be. That tone is fucking everything.

[@christophejergales7852]

Remember Phil Anselmo? Pepperidge Farm remembers. This singing is painfully whimpy.

[@mosj9876]

jason is officially on the list of the pantheon of greats.

[@gavinjuge1961]

Seriously how the fuck does he get that tone on that scale length. I just can't get note definition like that.

[@josholmezkaya7580]

Anyone else feel dizzy after watching this?

[@sandsmarc]

Terrible shooting and editing, get out of the business. Guitarist was great.

[@FabrizioCARENA]

on how (df) does he manage to keep that Drop G string in tune on a 25.5" scale guitar for the entire song, it will always be a mistery to me...

[@allstopblue5717]

Fabrizio CARENA it makes absolutely no sense. He said he uses a 58 on the low string. How is that even fucking playable?

[@pimsmise]

If anyone has the answer to this I'm interested. A .64 on 25.5" guitar was too flabby for my picking. This is impossible...

[@linitweapon]

It's a matter of control and familiarity. I'm pretty sure he's been doing the same thing since he was in born of Osiris. Plus he has great control over his picking so he probably picks lighter on the low string

[@lamborgatti-4783]

I can tune lower then that with my 6 string Ibanez,it can sound lower the a fucking 8 string while 4 of the others are in tune,it mostly because of the shitty intonation it’s on but still

[@NoName94922]

I thought this was the James Blake Retrograde and I was like "how" ,now its clear.

[@joshroering7597]

Love that Stan marsh hat! Amazing amazing playing

[@Ismita2]

That's what I'm talking about a good play through without weird faces and extreme and ridiculous movements

[@TrevorOkonuk]

you're not a big Drewsif Stalin fan?? haha

[@DavidValles]

Sometimes that's just what happens when someone really feels and loves their music. Absolutely nothing to hate on there.

[@ezradcunha]

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT MAJESTY FINISH THIS IS?!???

[@codymarkley8372]

I'm not shitting on jason he is a god. But what is with the editing, this genre is taking too many cues from mumble rap.

[@thomasmims7850]

lol wut

[@jaythedjentleman2571]

5 years after finding out about this guy and his tone is still my favorite.

[@RoshMCXI]

sick af wish some of those low mid frequencies from the layed guitar track werent over flubbing the fuck out of my laptop speakers

[@IStabz]

should be illegal to be that good!..Dude's not human..there's no way!! I'm an okay player at best..I learn by ear so..there's no way one could learn that by ear lol..I can only pick out a few of the djenty riffs..Kudos to you Jason Richardson, you're definitely on another level man!!

[@defaz2963]

Is it just me or Jason is the ultimate guitar God but I feel like here his guitar is a bit out of tune???

[@thomasmims7850]

Sounds good to me

[@snorkygroovitz2207]

Awesome....just awesome!

[@caseysumner8674]

always surprised how his tone has a decent amount of low end but still retains the clarity. can't get my jp2c to do it!

[@IStabz]

Amazing guitar player! Sounds Incredible as well~JS!

[@taylorpyramids4580]

Yes he is fucking great and can shred but after song two of his album you know what every songs sounds like.

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

I heard Spencer Sotelo singing and i fanboyed a little inside. 😍 But god that playing makes me want to play more in Drop G.

[@nekroreaper6348]

fucking beast!

[@VirtuosicFantasies]

Pretty Badass!!!

[@yesh6545]

Every thing is sick about this song! all badass musicians present in Only one song!

[@TomsAlcore]

Wow cool

[@735TER]

how he can quickly switch from distortion to clean tone and delay?

[@ferna2294]

I get lost every fucking finger movement... this mate is a beast.

[@andrewjaramillo8620]

Cannot stand the type of sub-metal genre he plays, but he's for sure a virtuoso... Musically, not my cup of tea, but stylistically you can't take away from his technical prowess.

[@fredriksvard2603]

Andrew Jaramillo i like it, but can’t stand the vocals. Same with periphery etc.

[@maxfliegner4122]

Logistical question here: Is someone else switching the patches on the plugin for him? I got the Toneforge JR plugin and I love it, but I was wondering if there's a way to change patches in real time?

[@joeymusic]

Automation track

[@joshpetit44]

Almost sounds like Human Abstract singer

[@MrTrevorstroup]

SPencer Stolleto

[@mikedixon8830]

Fn A son.....

[@Johnny-ti5jy]

Jason may possibly be the best guitarist of the century

[@mattmac5599]

I see the footage from Mr Dancemen at the JST booth. Just as I suspected, dizzy af now. Great audio though!

[@mattmac5599]

Definitely is great no doubt about that. Cheers, thanks for having such a great booth / products.

[@medusa1312412412]

best camera man in at NAMM 2018

[@nealdew71]

Cameraman you made me feel sick.

[@DonDIABLO.]

Ah perro, traes el Omnitrix!

[@ALLforROME]

So good!

[@CHEMICALFINGERPRINT1]

whats the settings and what other effects and overdrive is he using? the vst by itself has extremely weak distortion and I have to put podfarm in front with a compressor, gate, tubescreamer and another gate. then after that I add the a limiter or gain reduction. -Stitch B. Korrupt

[@CHEMICALFINGERPRINT1]

Joey Sturgis I willt try re downloading the plugin

[@CHEMICALFINGERPRINT1]

I do know the even jr used the horizon devices precision drive with jr toneforge too. Thats how I know that it does need a overdrive in front, im I wrong?

[@simpirx]

You have probably figured it out already but no it does not need it. The tones are forged to mimic what Jason used on his album - and by that I mean the whole chain.

[@yorulaney8563]

Came for the thumbnail

[@erdowicaksono1325]

awesome he wears a doom shirt

[@ronitravi8523]

His new song. pls guys!!!

[@srijan1993]

outstanding playing

[@georgechandrum]

I might get JST after this hahaha

[@omarcomin2261]

Damn I swear I'm not even moving my phone.

[@joeymusic]

It only takes a little

[@DavidWoodMusic]

Wait he didn't play this on the guitar he stole from Jeff Kiesel? Disappointing.

[@thomasmims7850]

what exactly are you talking about?

[@DavidWoodMusic]

@@thomasmims7850 TLDR: 4 years ago Jeff gave him a guitar to demo to see if Jason would be interested in partnering. Jason kept it and Jeff and to call him out publicly. Was a total shit storm and Jason acted like a child. Best guitarist on the planet, hands down, but lost all my respect for him after that incident. Feel free to Google.

[@thomasmims7850]

@@DavidWoodMusic Maybe there's been deleting of stuff because all I'm seeing is Jason talking about not signing with brands that throw guitars at him and then keeping said guitar lol can't say I don't blame him...shiiit gimme all the guitars you want...doesn't mean I'll sign with you. Jeff's has not had the best reputation online with flaming customers and Jason's not the friendliest dude but I couldn't find anything with proof of jason stealing anything.

[@AceBambam]

I think the tone is bad

[@AceBambam]

I just "think" it's muddy 0:27 but if it works for the rest of everyone... peace and love lol

[@gavinjuge1961]

Was anything other than the plugin used to create these tones or is this just a DI signal of the plugin only?

[@gavinjuge1961]

Thanks, man. I've seen so many videos where people dial in flubby tones, but if this is DI, then I'm pretty sure those people just don't know what they're doing :D sicks tones bro

[@voji7715]

any idea what general mode / key he plays in?

[@IDONTEXIST_6]

Vojislav Mijalkovic He tunes his guitar to drop g.

[@evanwilliams8908]

I don't get djent. It sucks. hair metal/screamo vocals and disconnected malmsteen meets messugah riffing. It feels incomplete and soulless

[@lamborgatti-4783]

Eric Chenier dude shut the fuck up an leave😂,male teen was big and the 80s and still is,that’s why he has long hair,Jason used to have the hair but shaved it off,this isn’t even near to malmsteen style,this is modern djent metal and djent IMO sounds fucking awesome

[@csvscs]

Gaaawwwdddamn

[@ramdan6536]

I hate the camera style 🙁

[@leonhefner3260]

Great guitarist, god awful vocals

[@devinsmith1243]

Sooooo Much Yesssssss💙💙💙💙💦💦💦💦

[@btf636]

So sick!

[@valentinolupo4532]

This voice is similar to the rev's voice in avenged sevenfold

[@BTBAMRulz]

Eric Kindel lol wat?

[@BTBAMRulz]

Eric Kindel those insults straight up made me cringe they were that bad.

[@ze-ce.cra_]

Eric Kindel you're trying so hard to insult.. learn to troll properly before you make problems with people

[@bradhargis2261]

Eric Kindel the rev was the drummer dipshit. You're just being a troll.

[@BrandonArd91]

he sang in a few gay songs

[@bbenz9750]

Awesome playing but can't stand the song.

[@lizziedanger4271]

jason is a sick artist and even better guitar player, but soencer absolutely killed it on this track. his high range is otherworldly
