MONUMENTS - SECOND ALBUM GUITAR/BASS TRACKING

[@tkultra3501]

Crazy to look back at this almost 10 years later to realize Browne doesn’t know that he is in the process of writing an absolute fucking masterpiece of an album!

[@youts1000]

I think "Monuments" isn't a strong word enough to name this band. OMFG You guys are GENIUSES!

[@MrMellovv]

i hate chairs with arms

[@russwilson2305]

3 years later, and I still. agree with you.

[@Anrooox]

You can just unscrew one of the arms out.

[@TheMakShak13]

[@Betrayingthemartyrs]

[@scallionboy8679]

Plus one from me! ☺ love breathing in life

[@MAR.COmusic]

I love John's style so much :) and he seems such a humble and nice guy

[@jackelliott3608]

From Ibanez & a Warwick rockbass to a full fledge Mayones arsenal. My how far we have come.

[@RatioPerfect]

3:12 love that riff

[@elasticpancakes]

Got some robot hands there man. Very awesome playing! Look forward to the next album.

[@MetMus12]

Awesome.....and thanks for such a great gig at the Boileroom...you gave my boyfriend a hug, he's not forgotten it!! ;) Seriously, he's also the frontman/songwriter for a Metal Prog band and he had such a great night and left feeling inspired by all the fantastic talent we saw and heard that night...thanks :)

[@89VPons]

John Browne, your amazing. Never stop producing music!

[@lucasferreira3054]

This guy brings "Djent" a new meaning. Downpicking lord

[@trowabarton7708]

That last riff is amazing, I cannot wait to hear it in a full song!

[@adamdavis7192]

John Browne is a Genius and in person is very nice and modest about his great talents :)

[@toxendon]

1:50... I got goosebumps all over. Sounds so powerful. Looking forward to this :))

[@FR-ho6pn]

The riffing in this is unbelievable

[@slmda4]

I kept replaying 1:27-1:48. That riff is fucking nasty I can't wait to hear that

[@JasonJordan716]

WAY TOO EXCITEDD!!!!!!! COME TO BUFFALO, NY!!!

[@Frettimo]

Downpicking god O.o Very nice footage you gave us John!

[@Bawb17]

[@SlaughteredInside]

[@AndrewMorgan]

[@eaglewings1934]

Seriously though, I could shit on the sidewalk if that would mean that I could get a copy of the new album right now.

[@201Perone239]

Brownes down picking is just insane

[@kevstew26]

3:37 I'm pretty sure he came in his pants during that riffage

[@Brojo-Jojo]

[@miguel-zq3tc]

Well damn. Too good.

[@happyhamster1411]

[@OLV_Music]

That little tapping thing at the end of the vid... is that an upcoming song? Or another band? Or a previous song? IT'S SO AWESOME!! Plus the whole vid cause my trousers to rip in two in the pelvic region..

[@flagmuffin1221]

[@joshhammond11]

I'm guessing you're using EMGs on the Warwick?

[@jackattack8044]

I need the tuning​ for the alchemist, any hints?

[@julianjensen5527]

What is the name of the song in the beginning?

[@adriangel143]

[@flagmuffin1221]

+Luis I, The Destroyer in the intro, and Jinn in the Outro

[@kayde1749]

Fuck yeah!

[@KeannuReevezzz03]

the alchemist!

[@0ester]

Hello Mr. Browne. Can I pre-order this album anywhere, perhaps with merch? I'll get merch along with it if the art is as sweet as it was on Gnosis :)

[@Orion-jr6fi]

no idea 1x12 could sound that good

[@Inglig909]

Haven't seen Olly in the recent videos. Is he recording the album with you still?

[@BIGJ0E]

head banging yo

[@m96fromchile]

how soon is soon? D:

[@zonebizki]

what pickup use on 2077xl?

[@Hogman666]

we love the click....n then we ignore it its the way forward... ace tunage..

[@iseeu1980]

Can anyone please explain to me how the tracks are reamped later on? Is he splitting the signal so that he can feed the D.I to whatever he wants later on? Much obliged...

[@Intake2365]

iseeu1980 he just records the DI, so he just gets the clean non-amped sound of the guitar, then he just plays that through any amp/simulator preferred, and vóila. :D

[@iseeu1980]

Yep, seems to be the way these days. Thanks ;).

[@SabianTamaDrummer]

How come swanny doesn't track bass?

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

He'll be coming soon to track some of it soon (the more Bass orientated bits), with the more percussive stuff it tends to work better if one person does all the parts, as the minute differences in playing can make a big difference etc.

[@itLEAKED]

A lot bands do this. Seeing as most bass lines are either following a guitar line, or they are identical. Makes more sense for the person who tracked the guitar to track the bass parts. They sync up easier.

[@skanka4646]

Is some of that pretty tough to play ;)

[@propeller]

interesting picking technique

[@joshjardim]

the best picking technique :P him and Jakub Zytecki.. well.. and Guthrie Govan.. and...

[@renthal971]

Fuck Yeah!

[@kal.1899]

Holy shit! i have the same guitar!!

[@MultiSpinners]

and what tuning are u in

[@rulystik]

What is The first track on this video ? And do u have video just with that one?

[@SuperEvilMonkey1]

I, The Destroyer

[@Gareth91Hill]

Sounds good butty

[@dominickguerra189]

Release date?

[@nova495]

Never sure whether to watch his playing or his face as he's making those expressions lol XD

[@MultiSpinners]

what guitar are u using

[@SBTones]

does anyone know what pickups did he use for the amanuensis album?

[@T3STAM3NT11]

This was Johns pre-mayones era so he obviously used his 1077/2077xl's loaded with Bare Knuckle ceramic Nailbombs in the bridge. I don't know what he has used in his 2228 but I guess aftermaths

[@hopesnhooks5504]

So did he have to strap on that GoPro onto his head just to get that arial shot in the beginning? Haha

[@moglagaash]

what DAW?

[@TwinIOfficial]

that cup doe 3:11

[@nanofernandez2349]

hi if someone has a preset tone for cubase 6 please help me

[@jmz0629]

[@squiresuzuki]

[@halfriday2531]

[@MarvinChua]

Thanks for the info man.. Hope you could visit us here in the Philippines someday..

[@handoverthegroj]

[@TwentyInchBurial]

[@afbahia14]

[@IIEL3CTRiicKx]

He gets his tone from some of the best picking technique I have ever seen

[@kyleclement2898]

moar pls so good

[@TwidSkins]

My god that Ironheart sounds sick. What 1x12 is he using?

[@spencer.ross.s]

Ironheart 1x12. Same one used at the Nevada UK clinic and Indulger playthrough.

[@TwidSkins]

Sounds nice

[@warrenthebard]

Philip Twidle It's actually a POD xt Pro, haha. He lied in the description so people wouldn't pre-judge the tone as horrible based solely on the fact that it's a POD.

[@Andrei.x8]

Dimensionator13 nice info. I own a pod hd500x and its freaking great. i record with it too

[@Ghost17110]

Here is the proof if anyone wants it: tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2qsnp8n&s=8#.VJ54FAC4
