Musicman1066 - Lie To Life (original song 2011, NOW ON iTUNES!)

[@TravisMoore-q8e]

I've lost track of how many years I've been watching your original compositions. They still impress me.

[@slothbin]

I seem to remember (wayyyy back) an annotation popping up saying something like "Bet you can't play this :P" when you play that tapping lick at 1:17

[@David-lu5tl]

This guy could be the best guitarist ever hands down!!!!💫 We need more music from Finn Maxwell...

[@FinnMaxwell]

@Shplimf This song is a chance to show how my creativity is changing, through everything that I do. I've never been a fan of boring song structures, and if you pay enough attention the song is structured well.

[@FinnMaxwell]

@FidgetyHand Some people choose to record two rhythm parts left and two rhythm parts right to get a bigger guitar sound, but I don't like doing that. That's called quad tracking. On my songs I've only got one rhythm guitar either side. If you mean a lead part plays the same notes as the rhythm but in a higher octave or harmony, then it depends where I'd put it. If it's just a harmony part to the rhythm guitar, I'd just keep it on the other side, if it's an octave overdub it's in the middle.

[@override83]

holy shit, my younger brother and I used to blast this a lot. I ended up buying this on iTunes like I said. Funny thing is, he's been getting into instrumental tunes lately, and this came to mind. Was glad to see it's still up. Time flies, man. Can't believe my comment from 9 years ago is still up haha. Feels like yesteryear.

[@djentlee9064]

I never understood how much I love this song especially 3:08-4:19 untill today

[@KFieLdGaming]

That tone is DELICIOUS.

[@jairosanchezarias19]

Bro. I just started an intense program at my college. And I swear I’m stressed. But I come to your videos and really helps me out. The funny thing your music has some emotion to it that differs you from other artist. Sometimes I just come to you and hear YOU and not the vocals of other bands. You’re amazing man! Thank you for your talent. \m/

[@FinnMaxwell]

Open an EQ on your guitar track, add a high pass filter and a low pass filter. Set them quite high and low on each side, I think the high pass was at something like 300Hz, and the low pass was at 5KHz.

[@Metrionix]

This isn't even metal anymore. You've transcended into something much more intricate and emotional than that.

[@DiamondDead]

+Metrionix which isn't a bad thing though

[@Metrionix]

DiamondDead Yeah, I meant it as a high compliment.

[@spiritoftheeastjourneywork9032]

Its fucking lunatic 💥🔥

[@spiritoftheeastjourneywork9032]

Its beauty and creativity at its finest 👐

[@spiritoftheeastjourneywork9032]

Cant stop listening 😂

[@HazyJT]

10 years ago, 10 years after, 10 years from now. This is gold.

[@cliffordpurk5039]

I am feeling more of a devildriver vibe than slipknot but it's all metal and this shit is amazing

[@hazardousdope]

Oh God, this comment really made my day! I really love the people like you, that apreciate the work we do! :D Thanks dude, even though I'm not a good drummer, I'll become a good one soon (hope so haha). Power to the drummers! (and musicman, he's an artist!) ;D

[@IngressBand]

love the betacha can't play this riff

[@megiddragon]

im a born and raised musician and my opinion is that your stuff is very impressive. I take my hat off to you musicman

[@ipungvice2271]

2018..what next man..?

[@ericmichael1964]

2018...this song is still sick as fuck... Vodka shots and a cheers to you.

[@ericmichael1964]

Back here in 2022... Pints of Guiness held high for this most bad ass shreddery. 🤘👊👊👊👊🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@FinnMaxwell]

@xtremeguitar95 There is a slide from the 10th fret to the 12th on the D (B in this tuning) and a stap slide from the 17th to 18th fret on the high E

[@GTkeyez]

Just want to say MM1066 that your music is absolutely perfect for when i head up to my local singletrack for some mountain biking. Keep doing what your doing.

[@bigbossmgsv]

it's amazing to see how much you have grown as a musician

[@Doctorfroggie]

MAN. i can't get enough of your playing! I'm so happy you finally got another video out!

[@kajakz997]

@musicman1066 I'm one of that people who don't visit your channel anymore. Just because have not anything new. But, I'm visiting your chanel and watching your covers now, cause you have a true talent to play Guitar.

[@FinnMaxwell]

@urigeller575757 The electric guitar plays a C# power chord, then it fades out. It comes back in about 8 bars later with a C# - A - B power chord progression.

[@gregariancalendar6719]

11 years later and i still come back go watch this masterpiece every now and then

[@MorckGuitar]

Oh mah lerd. The Tapping. So Eargasmic. Been watching you for years now, its incredible to see how far youve come and your inspiration to me!!

[@HeroxYouxH8]

You are the biggest inspiration and influence on my guitar playing. Honestly man you inspired me from my 2nd year into playing and will still inspire me in god knows how many years

[@BlackMagicBliss]

You are officially one of my favorite guitarists... I love all your work, and this song is just stunning... Keep it up, man

[@FinnMaxwell]

@underoathvstrivium Peavey 6505+, boosted by a Maxon OD through a Mesa oversized 4x12 cab. Pod farm delays (digital & analogue), Apple matrix reverb. Effects were only on leads.

[@LachlanHelbig]

Musicman, you inspire me to try and make riffs and songs all the time, all your original compositions are so different and unique, generally with a amazing sounding solo. Definitely looking out for a new song.

[@FinnMaxwell]

@Boneyards0905 I push hard enough so that when I pick them the notes are all clear enough. I also pick quite hard, so that I don't need that much gain, the drive comes from my picking. If I encounter tricky riffs, I break them up into maybe 4 bar segments, practice them individually, and then add them together, one segment at a time.

[@IvoryMD]

WOW! That was totally worth the wait! You songs are so well polished, I can tell you put your whole heart into everyone. Nice job again man!

[@iKiwiMetalHead]

Fully reminds me of All That Remains, another master piece. Great work.

[@Gaviaion]

great job!! what i like in you is the fact that u dont mind to shred all the song(what u can easily do), instead of that u think on the music like a theme, keep rocking dude!! greats from Brazil!!!

[@BkLAMO]

I know you hear this alot, but man youre awesome! i hope you get far in your music career and make it big. much appreciation for your covers and your own personal art.

[@JDOx8]

This is maybe my favorite song from you, due of the weird structure and the originals and fresh riffs that you put in there

[@FinnMaxwell]

@21xtr3m3 Verse riff is downpicked, with the down up down pattern for the gallops. The tremolo parts were done alternate.

[@justgostudy]

Man, I haven't watched you since '08. You've gotten so much better! Kudos!

[@mchricl]

Dude that was down!!! Definately sounds like some industrial advanced robotics themed music!! I love your style bro!! keep it up!!

[@Jasaxos]

It by far is your most interesting song and probably my favorite in how you progressed the song

[@TheGhostfacekilla86]

You drummers will always be my favorite though! :) Best instrument in a band. A band is nothing without a good drummer.

[@mistakenintegrity]

You just keep getting better, better, and better! Keep it up man, someday I am gonna read a wikipedia article on you mentioning how you started through youtube and all! Good luck.

[@VantixTheOne]

It's a great music like also. Always when i hear you i see you put your whole heart in what you do. It's so brilliant. Do what you do and this music will break all rules!

[@eldamarofficial]

love that song!

[@RohilThopu]

Holy crap. The quality of this song is literally sounding like 100 x better than your others. Fantastic job!

[@karoldreynolds7651]

Your music is addicting …like Metallica was Listen to it over and over It really is a huge sound man Thankyou

[@WANABGUITARIST221375]

i love how we can watch you progress at the guitar over the years! your awesome, i love you no homo

[@FinnMaxwell]

@ImRelentlezz This guitar was discontinued in 2005/2006. The ESP Horizon NT EMG looks pretty similar though, so if you're willing to spend more money I'd suggest looking into it.

[@Y4NMasked]

I can't stop to listen this amazing piece! I think the best parts of your original songs are the acoustic melodies with all of those heavy riffs and those solos, I mean, this is fucking metal man! I love your work and skill dude, keep rocking! \m/

[@1mDeOtDaDl1]

Dude you are a phenomenal writer this is just awesome and the unseen is a masterpiece as well. wish you the best of luck with everything and hope to see you on tour some day.

[@emorangers2525]

AMAZING WORK! ive watched all of your videos and love all of them! your new stuff is simply amazing! keep it up

[@Schmorgasblab]

Spot on man, that was pretty sick. I was hoping you would have blasted out with an absolutely insane solo at 4:30, seemed like a good spot for one that would just melt faces right off. All in all, had a good feel to it though.

[@amosbarnes3]

Always awesome to watch and listen to you play. Simply inspirational man, everytime.

[@EM_Studios]

I'm really impressed, quite fantastic job he did on that one.

[@Shplimf]

@musicman1066 From the middle onwards it is fantastic, after a more thorough listening it's just the intro that I don't particularly like, but fair enough, I see what you've been doing. Great job on all your music!

[@xxLumbagoxxx]

You deserve at least 10,000,000 REVIEWS! haha that was absolutely amazing,man.I'm really glad i subscribed to you :D

[@therocketosullivan]

the first intro kicks ass man!!! I've been suscribing you, wating for something new and i gotta say great stuff!!!, different from your others songs but as good as you'll ever see!!!

[@Did37y]

finally... i was beginning to miss you man and again an amazing piece of music \m/

[@darthdre88]

Yes I love it! Keep up the diverse playing and I can see you becoming a songwriter/producer for some of these bands out here. Keep it up man!

[@FinnMaxwell]

@xtremeguitar95 I use lots of different types, however I used the Steve Vai signature picks for this song. Other than that I use Dunlop gator grip 2mm and the Dunlop Tortex picks.

[@DCPofficialfilm]

2 seconds in and im already in love with this song

[@EMicheal]

Im back for the 100th time to listen to this wicked, brilliant, inspiring song. Still gotta say, this is F*****G BADASS!!

[@666chuckfuck]

dude this song is baddass man! Killer riffs and sick playing, just what i like

[@SuperDarkDante]

Love your skill from the first video you posted, keep rocking man, you're a true legend!! ^_^

[@jett312]

Nice one man! I've been watching all of you videos since 2010 or 2009. Very good! Rock on! \m/

[@skadedude97]

another master piece of musicman 1066!

[@patio6]

Just bought a few of your singles on Itunes man, all the best mate. You own.

[@jared_ruiz_]

Youve gotten so much better since I last saw you!!! :D this song is awesome!!!

[@FinnMaxwell]

@dayne1ful I record direct to my sound card through a pre amp (X3), this way, external noise your can get with camera mics isn't a problem, so the sound is much cleaner.

[@FinnMaxwell]

@rikiemoss You've just got to find the right pinchie point. Every fret has 5 different pinched harmonic sounds, for that one, the placement was nearer the bridge.

[@musiciangamer76]

I love this great job man keep up the amazing playing and keep up the great work with the awesome songs you make. I love all the songs you have made and I have bought them on itunes I support your all the music you come up with man.

[@GlowDark6]

You're unbelievable, dude '-' , their songs are simply . . . perfect ! you're a genius (Y) amazing man xD

[@Suffer95]

@AllHailThe9 @musicman1066 doesnt need a band, he'll go no where with a band. Keep rocking bro your fucking amazing.

[@joeychristello]

dude ... musicman1066 really knows his music, man.

[@monki1036]

Hell yeah! He never dissapoints! Keep doin what you do bro! I'm a big fan and i will check it out on itunes.

[@DeFazant1]

Awesome breakdown on the starting of the clean part.

[@dbombaable]

Cool layering of parts. Cool writing and shredding man!

[@alienraider]

wow, the last minute of that was truly amazing, not saying the rest wasnt of course....but.. wow

[@BloddyVam]

awesome song.the clean part is so relaxing.i really liked the "betcha can't play this!" part:D great job! waiting for new songs:)

[@Schmendlow]

amazing work! like the progressive touch btw thx to memories lost i finally learned fluid sweep picking, so thanks a lot for the inspiration!

[@Tejedahunter]

Love it! I really enjoy the Acoustic part. Sounds really good and nice job man.

[@hakouna70]

keep on rocking man,words cant describe your talent

[@Fenris_Valka]

you are epic man wish i could find guys like you who stick to there art all my bands stop trying and leave but still EPIC keep up the good work

[@GTPGuy19]

Great song man. I can't wait to see what your new masterpiece is going to be. Its going to be epic

[@FinnMaxwell]

@lund3000 Tone depends on a lot of things. Guitar, pickups, amp setup and most importantly the player. Tone is in the hands, not the gear.

[@FinnMaxwell]

@beastological When I write stuff, I don't concentrate on theory, I just write stuff that I think sounds good and then come back to the theory side later. I do know quite a bit of theory, but it doesn't really influence what I write.

[@GuitarMan0704]

Very mature playing. I like particularly the tapping part. It's awesome to check your old videos and see how much you have grown. I know that you don't take requests. But i'm still waiting for a periphery cover :D Maybe Letter Experiment? Keep it up man :D

[@FinnMaxwell]

@DiabolicalSchemes I was really lucky to have found it. I hang around on the Sneap forum, and they have a Gear For Sale sub forum, and it magically appeared one day so I snatched it!

[@FinnMaxwell]

@Ville163 When I record I do punch ins on riffs, just like every other band in the world. I can play the whole song in one go, but for tightness it's much better to do punch ins.

[@LexLovesYoux]

Wow.. There's no more words, just wow.

[@Chr1s747]

You(Musicman1066), Killrbuckeye, and Jakwt1991 inspire me and my friends to think up of melodies in metal/crunch tone and want to bring them up as songs of our own. All of your songs and covers along with theirs are literally amazing! The only thing that sucks is that we dont have an effects pedal or an amp that give us that opportunity. But anyways, loved this man, keep up the good work and rock on \m/

[@laviathon10]

i just realized that you put this up on my birthday.legit birthday present right here :D

[@ArtisticConcept]

Your first song seemed like a technical mash-up of abiltys guitar wise. This is a propper good sounding metal song. That main riff is amazing.

[@Archeum94]

Man, this is really good! I couldn't tell what genre it looks like but THAT IS THE SHIT! Legendary solos, powerful verses, beautiful Interlude. Who can ask for something else?! This is awesomness at its pure state! Gj

[@METALRIDER69]

seriously dude ive been a fan of you for like ever you really need to get a band going with a vocalist and you could really go somewhere

[@heavymetaleroful]

good job dude, in the begining you have almost the Buckethead sound :) i like it, you are a very talented musician, keep rocking

[@jrsm1000]

@xtremeguitar95 I am almost certain he programmed all of the drums without loops. Easy way is to export the drums out of guitar pro then import them into a session pull them up in the MIDI editor and adjust velocities and such.

[@BronyTutorials]

@musicman1066 I just want to put a real face behind this epicness.

[@MrBigGuitarDude]

awesome !!! long time since i've heared such good (new generation) metal like this ^^ keep on rockin' ;))

[@eldamarofficial]

Which amp or effects do you use? Love the tone ;)
