Marigold - Periphery - School Performance

[@flynnedwards]

Thanks for appreciating the effort that went into this! There are a few guitarists here that think what I'm doing is really cool, I'm hoping to start a band with them at some point!

[@dm_hater8388]

The fact you can smash this live is really inspiring

[@flynnedwards]

Thanks!

[@JeanDenisCote]

Wow, super impressive, man! Not only is that song really hard to play but you've practiced it enough to play it comfortably and with confidence. Great stage presence too! Massive props!

[@flynnedwards]

Thanks! I've certainly spent a lot of hours working on Periphery riffs over the past year and a half and I'm so happy that I can finally play it to an audience. Sometimes I struggle to have a stage presence, but with this style of music, I just naturally get into the groove of it.

[@hunterking6033]

Bruh, I can't even touch these guys drum parts and I've been playing for 17 years. These guys are masters of the craft. I can't imagine trying to pull that off in front of people, especially not when I was in HS. Just pure, unadulterated badass.

[@flynnedwards]

Thanks so much! Yeah, Periphery are absolute masters and I've determined that every song they make is just amazing!

[@josku5]

Just work on it slowly and you’ll get it down ;)

[@KasbashPlays]

Absolutely digging that "no fucks given" stage presence mate. You're probably better than some people called Mark, Misha and Jake who do passable Periphery covers.

[@jae_lee-]

I've seen these, they're alright. this guy's waaay better tho

[@metosoreru]

those guys are funny, they make whole documentaries for their covers. film crew is pretty good though Periphery should have them record their album-making processes

[@nicolasa.3192]

[@Drekon009]

that neck bobbing is sooo natural

[@merry8647]

I practiced that song for so many hours and I still can't touch this

[@flynnedwards]

Don't worry! Half the speed or even drop it to 40% and go up by 1% until you reach 100%. Its tedious and boring but is the best way to get a riff clean and tight at full speed.

[@DerDer84]

Oh my God I've been learning this song very slowly for a while. This is fantastic!

[@flynnedwards]

Thank you! Keep working on it! It's a tough song but it gets easier the more you play it!

[@masonlutz2319]

Wow. Impressive playing and confidence on stage. I can tell you've put a lot of hours into this. Well done.

[@flynnedwards]

Definitely. Lots of metronome practice. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! I haven't found many either. I'm sure there are others out there

@@flynnedwards dude you shred! hope they see it

[@MrCholoPants3415]

Very good job, bro. Your stage presence is even more impressive than the guitar playing. It's not the craziest song ever to play but your confidence and stage presence amp it up massively and make it much harder... that stage presence while playing a pretty challenging song are things that grown-ass adult experts struggle with (Periphery themselves lol)... and they struggle with it in full bands while playing MUCH easier songs. Spotlight was on you and you did your job. Super impressive, dude. I sincerely hope you stick to music and don't do what I did, and jump into university and forget about music as a career just because it's "unsafe" financially. You could easily join any major band in the future and live your dream if guitar is your true passion. Bravo

[@thedutchdjentleman]

Nice to see I wasn’t the only one to do periphery stuff for music in school! You did an amazing job. Playing was on point, stood there like an absolute champ! Only thing I kind of missed is some more moving around, kind of a bit more of an aggressive stage presence, but that’s just a stage thing. I mean, I literally couldn’t move around, because I played the songs on drums, but whenever I play guitar, I move around a bit more with some of the easier stuff, but I gotta hand it to ya, this song is hard as fuck and you played it so perfectly, I can’t fault you for not moving all over the stage all that much at all. Again though, this was waayyy fuckin’ better than I’d be able to do.

[@flynnedwards]

Thank you! Yeah, I was just focused on getting everything really tight rather than stage presence but, now I'm more comfortable with the song, I could move around a bit more. Thanks for the feedback!
