I'm so addicted to The Zenith Passage right now. I can't get enough of that abrupt tight sound.

[@longshanks5531]

Listen to Soreption, 2 times better

[@aguyholding1024]

the pinch harmonic comparison part was pretty funny.

[@Cloudburzt]

It was interesting to see the difference in technique, for sure. I personally never teach it as hitting a "sweet spot" as there are many/endless places on the string where you can get a pinch harmonic (same as natural harmonics being all over, and not just 5-7-12 etc.), so I always urge people to run their picking hand back and forth while they try to find out where they are - it will be different notes too of course, depending on the placement. You could essentially hold you fretting hand in one position and still pinch harmonic the notes C-E-G for a a Cmajor arpeggio. It's a fun exercise 😅

[@jasonlauritsen5587]

​@@Cloudburztyeah, why limit yourself to 1 harmonic sound per node, when you can pull out several different harmonics just from the 3 frets node

[@zhillsdaniel]

The zenith passage is insanely underrated

[@nickfoster9350]

Two top tier guitar players casually hanging out and talking about guitars. Pretty rad. 🤘

[@xxitz_pr0gxx631]

Two dudes pursing their lips and exchanging pinch harmonics......LOVE IT!!!!

[@zetchTV]

I've been waiting for my favorite hair to meet my favorite bald in this series. But seriously, I love this collab 🤯

[@ChaosPootato]

Justin and the Scoopers

[@Ryo7_7]

Justin is a rad guitarist. So good. 👍

[@nmnate]

The last concert I went to, there was a guy standing hear the 'pit, holding up his hands in a heart. He made eye contact with the vocalist. The vocalist forgot his lyrics, and had to restart 2x. Love at first sight ❤ it was a fun concert (especially since we drove 6 hours), the pit was going pretty well for most of the songs and probably at least 15 people had crowd surfed by the end. Pretty impressive for a small venue. 🤘

[@nmnate]

Yo, you guys need to come to ABQ on these tours. 6+ hours to englewood is a lot sometimes (phoenix is LOL and dallas / austin / houston are also way too far). We're nice folks (mostly)

[@ChooRoo]

If The Zenith Passage came to Australia I would shit my pants off.

[@JediGrind]

Yes Justin ! ❤

[@brandonTHEshiados]

I fucking LOVE Zennith Passage! Used to blast them during my workouts at the gym

[@heylookitsn0ah]

I would love a series of youtube shorts of 60 second pinch harmonic battles between you and the other guitarists on this show loool

[@Creature1009]

Justin is the shit!

[@DrootheDude]

I'd kill to see you and Charles Caswell of Berried Alive have a conversation!!!

[@EeekItsSnek]

I have never heard of the Zenith Passage. My loss, cuz holy shit they shred.

[@longshanks5531]

Soreption does it better, check them out

[@sofukingwhat]

Datalysium is my favorite album of 2023. Proudly owns the t-shirt for it as well.

[@xxitz_pr0gxx631]

You two are probably my favorite guitar players from the past 15 years. I have been waiting for this video for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time!

[@CyanideChrist33]

I could watch you 2 pinch harmonic at each other for days.

[@DestroyingTheDevoid]

Love the series dude!

[@ihaveekbom]

im so excited for your tour

[@stickit1168]

Love these vids! MOAR!!!

[@alexnazaretski1937]

Aw man so sick! Always wanted a Justin episode!

[@henrike5402]

Dan Gargiulo from Artificial Brain when??

[@AlternateFropile]

DG fuuuu*ks. Loved him in Revocation too

[@lxcx6025]

Two of my fav bands of all time, archspire and tzp ❤

[@liliIiliIilil]

"inspired by bands that aren't The Faceless" I mean come on

[@jerrykelley1256]

One of if not my favorite guitarist.

[@JimDewdGuitars]

Love Justin's playing! He does an ascending Legato run with a bend at the end on the Kiesel A2 video with Scott Carstairs and it's absolutely brilliant! Been trying to learn it for weeks 😂

[@goobingtons]

I only liked a couple of songs off Datasylum; Justin seems like a cool guy with cool stories. That part with the pinch harmonics was like two guitarists practicing mating calls lmao. Thanks for sharing these Dean!

[@RX120D]

Man, give Datalysium another few spins. It's a masterful album. Lots of variety and progression.

[@theabsenceofi31]

Sick episode! Getting Adam De Micco, Wes Hauch and Tom Fountainhead would be sick

[@SKJESUS-qk5qy]

I find that the lower strings are easier to get pinch harmonics on if you pick them closer to the fretboard and the higher strings you just progressively move back

[@DoggoWillink]

Death Metal Destiny.

[@adamwilliams7354]

This segment is great! Phil tougas and fountainhead on the list?

[@Valogragu]

I knew this band tzp would come back. 2015 I thought they where 50 years old 🔙🔙😉😅lols Thx D

[@gozer5264]

Let’s fuckin gooooo 📯📯📯

[@xxitz_pr0gxx631]

JUSTIN AND I HAVE THE EXACT SAME MOUSE/DESK PAD! I am pretty sure that I was one of the first people who ordered one. KEKW

[@Inverted_Audio]

I would be too if I had one on my aristidy

[@madbad9113]

Critism: should be longer episodes with guests like these. Great episode though, discussing techniques with fellow tec death players is awesome.

[@xRhychux]

The pinch harmonix comparison is ripe for a funny edit, Dean

[@AllTheRamenOnTheSky]

Guitarist with a predisposition for trem wankery are just built different. I think it would be an discussion to dissect the approach to lead guitar playing / solos of players who exclusively use trems vs ones that don't. My first guitar had a Floyd as well as my most recent one, and while they're definitely fun to mess around with, I feel like I don't have the brain to actually use it in a proper musical application, so guys like Allan Holdsworth, Mattias Eklundh, Scott Carstairs and of course Justin just to name a few really boggle my mind

[@ThorsShadow]

Don't forget Steve Vai and Joe Satriani.

[@Ckraid]

CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO WITH THORDENDAL???

[@gub4941]

I doubt he can but that would be insane

[@Raijinx13]

Question out of left field but why did you switch from the rode pod mic to the sm7b ?

[@gub4941]

Have Scott carstairs on here please

[@sethhallstead1939]

Titans

[@christiandonofrio679]

First baby

[@jackmoen3460]

dean likes to say "where I take lessons from awesome guitarists" like he's not an awesome guitarist.

[@parris.m]

Hey dean, what lens are you using with your camera? It not listed on your SW gear page.

[@DeanLamb]

I use a Sigma 18-35 and 50-100 f1.8 ART series with a metabones adapter. I also have some other crappy micro 4/3 lenses.

[@MrKylederp]

Man hes lucky his Hipshot actually stays in tune.

[@traumataextension6548]

make a video with joel omans

[@LeonardWashinton]

holy shit dude john petrucci?!?!

[@daviddecker4040]

Everyone has a "pinch face"

[@MxLKy]

The only thing i want to know is how you two are hearing each others guitars in real time.... i cannot figure this out.. what do i need to buy to make that work?

[@jonathanandersson4003]

We need a "like" counter on Justin

[@supernaut7946]

Tzp is the best

[@taichouobvious180]

Was he in The Faceless too?

[@mattbarker1411]

Si

[@zakkai]

4:29 anyone know if this riff is from a song or not?

[@salsawords]

I think Divinertia II

[@zakkai]

@@salsawords thanks

[@TheSadistNat1on]

u dont need intros to 10 min vids jus sayn!..as far as, whats in this ep intros

[@amfk8079]

There so much adhd

[@RowdyChocolateOfficial]

Didn't y'all have a beef or something? Or am I crazy thinking of someone else? 🤔

[@DeanLamb]

I can't stand the guy

[@maqam_guitar]

Diss tracks aren't very common in the technical death metal genre, but I'm open to it 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@drphalanges1520]

I can't imagine either of these guys beefing with anyone

[@RowdyChocolateOfficial]

@@DeanLambOh wait that was Michael Keene if I’m not mistaken 😂 So many talented guitarists. Hard to keep track. My bad.

[@Ray_dawg-wk9dp]

Okay I love this and respect Justin. But can we please take a min to put some RESPECT on MICHAEL KEENES NAME? Of the faceless! He's been my fav guitar player since I was 12 and I learned almost every faceless song. So much of this is faceless inspired weather they Wana believe it or not lol

[@user-fq2ju7mj4q]

I have extreme and severe depression that only will get worse

[@NashMusicStudios]

Be kind to yourself, you’re the only one around you that can do that consistently. Try to find something to be proud of at the end of the day, big or small. When I was at my lowest “hey I showered” was good enough. Let yourself feel good about small successes and try to be present. The past already happened but you can be good to your future self. Good luck buddy ❤

[@Marrero1]

We all do.

[@vxdcra]

relatable

[@nithinraj360]

Kewl, same

[@Lethal.Burrito]

Stop trying to be Ron Jarzombek

[@zimsabeast6968]

be careful i heard you will make hair grown on your palms doing too much of that, even worse you could go blind!

[@full_metal_troy8394]

Watching them go through pinches in my mind: "!!...!...!...!!...!!!!....!!!!".

[@youtube.com-kravethenave]

I'm super happy this video happened! 2 of my favorite guitarists. PLEASE TOUR TOETHER
