JOHN BROWNE | MONUMENTS - Leviathan (Playthrough) with Ampete Engineering

[@NOPPYify]

No one can make the guitar go *chickiwiki* like browne

[@michabula5763]

Bro, "chickiwiki" is such an accurate word to describe that sound...

[@NOPPYify]

Thanks bro. Shit feels good when someone lands a positive comment on a 2year old comment. Made my day

[@davidmuniz694]

I like that word chikiwiki 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

The way John hits the strings is just addictive to watch

[@Coffee3lf]

Everyone (understandably) focuses on John's right hand technique, but his left hand is quite nuts as well. I love this song too. If these first two songs are representative of the new album, it's going to be at least as good as The Amanuensis, imo.

[@martialmusicman]

The muting is god-tier

[@Kabz8]

The chorus riffs are insane! I love the subtle tonality shifts. Makes everything sound more interesting. Can’t wait to dive into M3🤘🏽

[@Waltzhybrid92]

Where are the subtle tonal shifts?

[@mikoajklisch1049]

Daniel Marino-Austin the song begins in Eb Phrygian (Ab minor) and at the end of the verse changes to Bb Phrygian (Eb minor) for the build up to the chorus. The song then comes back to Eb Phrygian through the intro riff, and this continues throughout the song

[@spool29k97]

Kabz FagDad tuning

[@LtxVirgo]

Those high notes in between the groove at 3:50 are the best! I wish the guitars were this clear in the released mixes.

[@SpookyStorkRunningWild]

sweet, sweet harmonics

[@blackspine343]

yeaaahhhh... the mix on this album hates the guitars... new stuff sounds much better.

[@Rothley131gamezz]

The chorus looks like an absolute bastard to play

[@plateusigmaband4912]

what about that last breakdown xd ? =) =)

[@gazzaharris2323]

Rothleyy i can vouch for this and say ermmm f*ck yes!! Ridiculous fun to play and definitely one of my favourite songs ever written

[@x7scriptzzz172]

It is, along with the entire damn song lol, ik from experience

[@albertocestonaro3498]

That intro riff will haunt me forever. Sick playing as always, can't wait to see you live this fall!

[@phreakbr666]

That outro riff so is heavy and groovy

[@sammuse87]

Awesome. Can you get Anup to do a drum play through??

[@jorah76]

I'm pretty sure that he posted somewhere that he recorded videos for some songs, possibly even all of them. But I also think he said that he would first release them, when the full album was out though.

[@brandonTHEshiados]

Holy shit, Sastry went to Monuments? I never knew that!

[@Ro700Repeater]

he recorded the drums as a session player, he's not back in the band.

[@UOTCbassist]

Yeah on his facebook, he confirmed playthroughs once the album dropped.

[@TheFloatingBartender]

yess

[@TobyKBTY]

I love the "gatdayum that nasty" face John makes when he's properly in the groove and feeling the riffs. I fucking love this song!

[@bhf39]

I feel like it's more satisfying to watch John play with the song than the audio alone. Same when Anup does his drum playthroughs.

[@averylopez2296]

bhf39 agreed I love watching the Doxa video that shit rips me to shreds every time

[@vasilyneganov3883]

Beyond perfect riffing, as always. And I'm loving those slides all over the place and Gojira-like noises. Can't wait for the album!

[@martialmusicman]

This song us stuck in my head and on repeat. The riffs are much more intricate than they seem at first as well!

[@adriandalton82]

That balance of drive/tone/clarity is beyond perfect. And John, your lowest string/bass progressions in your song are insane, always a new journey

[@micronesia3797]

The power and accuracy behind Brownes right hand is ridiculous. Such a pleasure to watch and listen to.

[@Sh1wi]

Amazing! I am in love with chorus riff, it's sick! Can't wait for the show in Warsaw. See You there!

[@samconran]

For some reason, seeing John play this song makes me love it even more. What an exceptional set of riffs. Great job! :D

[@jonaslang2509]

I was so stoked for the album. Awol was good but this right here is insanely awesome Keep m coming guys

[@J-MLindeMusic]

And again, Browne delivers us those sweet sweet riffs and grooves...as always!

[@Maxter115]

It's simple; I see John Browne, I hit Like.

[@AshtonFitness]

I was so intrigued to see how this song was played, thanks for the playthrough video!! Super clean playing as always!

[@patfix]

Seeing a playthrough like this makes me appreciate the song a lot more. I can also hear the nuances in the guitars a lot better here. Such a sick main riff and chorus.

[@mathcoreable]

More playthrough videos of the new songs please. LOVE these riffs!!!

[@adamkendra7182]

This song is just brutal!!! Cannot get enough of your playing man. Such a percussive right hand and such an awesome sound! Whoever had the nerve to thumbs down this video is just jealous they don’t have the skills...

[@corymitchell3228]

This song has one of most satisfying first riffs of all time.

[@AsAugustSleeps]

The highs on this guitar tone are so ridiculously glassy. I love it.

[@izzate7]

This song is so understated. The concepts are fairly simple when they are taken one by one, but each part flows so effortlessly into the next part and then adds a new element without becoming too busy. Oh and the muting and slides are insanely clean. 🤘🏼

[@wickscape1]

absolutely love that tone

[@walterbeck5272]

Lost the inspiration to play a while ago but this band helped bring it back. Tasty riffs in a interesting tuning helped especially with the downstrokes are insane. Thank you John Browne and monuments for the inspiration the pick up the ax again.

[@zenwheat]

I've watched this over and over and I can't stop being amazed

[@Oilid]

Most exciting song I listened for months!!!

[@divided123]

Way more movement on these parts than I was able to pick up from the official vid. Love watching your playing John.

[@StewartHaasNewman]

There’s a reason I run to these guys, they help me keep such a good pace

[@jrmehle]

This is my favorite song off Phronesis. Such a treat to see you play it.

[@xEz8x]

Man these playthroughs always get me psyched up for playing guitar. Thanks for being such an inspiring, badass and unique sounding artist.

[@untitled8027]

John, you are such an inspiring player/writer.

[@marstopia8992]

Watching his right hand technique is better than porn.

[@NotFromSt8Farm]

I thought those went hand in hand

[@behindthen0thing525]

I turned off porn to watch this

[@LSlava]

The main thing is not to jerk in only one direction.

[@judgegroovyman]

Downstrokes only

[@harshagarwal636]

I can't think of a better guitar player when it comes to thick djent prog riff playing. Can't wait to see monuments live next month.

[@Splund1983]

Your picking style is on another level!

[@phil8529]

Sean L Yeah

[@jbasti227]

One of the best songs you released. I can't wait for the new release

[@antiferous]

You’ve taken this band to new heights. So badass

[@GaryMcNeill]

Why John is different to EVERY other guitarist using drop tuning: hes not letting the open Bb string dictate the key of the song. The root note of the song is on the 5th of the low B and hes using the lower notes melodically, instead of every song being in the same key just because of his tuning. Genius

[@joshsutton-smith1245]

Thousands of guitarists do this hahahaha

[@musicjrb4119]

THIS. IS. SICK.

[@johndude2726]

HELL YEAH!

[@PONCHEEZED]

I think this might be my new favourite Monuments song

[@AtlasAvalon]

I enjoyed this song even more with the guitar volume turned up, amazing

[@TheFloatingBartender]

Groove, tone and attitude. JB is back with a fucking vengeance

[@smokejc]

Hell yeah, that riff from the studio updates.

[@java8]

Man there is so much going on. Thank you so much John! Can't wait for the new album!

[@shostly]

You broke my heart by excluding Russia from new Mounments Tour. FYI, there are so many your fans and we were waiting to see you here... Awesome playthrough, as always. Leviathan is masterpiece.

It’s been two years, is your dexterity godlike?

I would buy the shit out of Phronesis tab book ... Just saying. Love this song ❤️

Dude is so sick. So fluid and rifftastic.

[@cyaneamusic.]

such great talent! def one of the best right now.

[@mightvebeen4471]

Leviathan had already been on repeat in my mp3-player. Forever love for that browne's style mixing pedal fatass notes with chords. What tuning is it?

[@mightvebeen4471]

Ah, yeah, i've missed comment from JB, shit. Anyway, you're right.

[@OnionMilk420]

Drop Bb Open i think , the tuning is ( Bb F Bb Eb F Bb Eb)

[@AnthonyTLKR]

This man and Monuments single handedly got me back into guitar after almost 8 years. I can't wait to cover this song. Anyone know the proper tuning?

[@jamesrichardson3165]

Yes, the tone. The first thing I think of is a enormous mythical beast in that tone.

[@raphaelroch]

My favorite track of this f****** album !! You’re the best writer of thick riffs dude !! The Djentlman !! 🤤🤟🏼 bionic right hand !
