met him in Milan and to the question "how do you keep up with your songs" (being so complex) he answered "oh just muscle memory"; he doesn't even use a metronome

Just the form and conviction he hits the snare with is enough to know he's special. And he can transcribe everything he plays.

The ZAPPA comment was right on. Elliot is a huge Zappa fan.

[@adamhowardschneider357]

I know Elliot personally. Hard worker, very humble, and has always been playing very groovy and innovative stuff since his teens. See if y’all can get ahold of recordings of his old band Spooge. I’m still trying to wrap my head around what he was doing with them at the age of, like, 16. Car Bomb is truly next level shit. Oh, and good on the Zappa mention- Elliot introduced me to Colaiuta...

[@SaltWaterDrums]

Thanks for the Spooge tip, if I've found the right band (and it sure sounds like it) then they have three albums on bandcamp!

The number of times I have watched this video is directly proportional to the number of time changes in this video. Love “the Car bomb” and love your reactions. Currently my favourite KZbin channel

[@yanbar3433]

Just found a guitar Tab for The Sentinel from them. Just to list the Time Signatures used: 19/16, 29/32, 6/4, 9/8, 28/32, 4/16, 3/8, 21/16 xD This is a sub genre of metal that sometimes is just called Mathcore ^^

[@NicolasPL_]

Yeah, but Car Bomb tabs are wrong. I mean, they're useful, but not 100% accurate

[@bristian5560]

NicolasPL yea I don’t think anyone could tab out gregs guitar writing. He’s just so intricate and there’s so many small details that you can barely hear but add so much to the song as a whole

[@yanbar3433]

I just wanted to point out, how "crazy" their time signatures are and how complex it is. While the tabs might not be accurate it still puts it into perspective and shows what you would have to expect from an accurate tab, because i don't think that it would be less crazy or complex :)

[@NicolasPL_]

@@yanbar3433 you're right

[@SpookySkeleton738]

Here's a fun thing about "The Sentinel", all of the guitar patterns save for the outro are variations on the album title "w^w^^w^w" (which the song is from), for instance the intro is in groupings like 4 2 4 2 2 4 2 4 then later on there's a part where it goes 6 3 6 3 3 6 3 6 and 2 1 2 1 1 2 1 2

Remembering techy prog stuff for me is about breaking down sections into subparts and just kinda being aware of what the whole band is playing during the part in question. I don't claim to be able to learn/play a Car Bomb song (yet) but repeated listens is a must for stuff with seemingly random progression of time signatures/syncopations. Eventually the song drills itself into memory.

Sorry if that seemed like a self promo, and I guess technically it was, but just putting it into perspective how insanely technical his stuff is.
