Artificial Brain - Estranged From Orbit [guitar playthrough]

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

That riff at 1:16 is probably one the most beautiful riffs ever written. I'm not a guitarist and couldn't be happy until I learned it

[@noobsauce]

Welcome to the endlessly frustrating world of playing guitar :)

[@ewvandenberg]

the gorguts-y riff that starts around 3:12 is so brutal omfg. i love the way AB uses chords

[@mrbtapir]

That bit after it comes back in after the filter sweep at 4:30 sounds so so epic. Its epicness actually makes the door momentarily hysterical.

[@RX120D]

Listen to Injection Satan by Abigor. I can't think of an earlier example of it. It's super powerful in that track.

[@maddacheeb808]

You guys have perfected that discordant and heavy guitar riffing, absolutely killer.

[@gallowglass719]

Thanks for making these man, you're genuinely one of the biggest reasons I picked up a 7-string

[@noobsauce]

That's so awesome! Wishing you a good journey on the guit

[@nvannorth]

This song is so insanely good

[@orcgoat]

Your band got me stoked on playing guitar again, thank you for that.

[@noobsauce]

That is amazing, makes me so happy to hear that!

[@ggrimhailer203]

I can't believe how beautiful, well written and flawlessly executed this stuff is. Love ya bud

[@noobsauce]

I'll take credit for execution. And then I'll raise a glass to our man Dan Gargiulo for providing us with a timeless classic. You Italians are cookin the right stuff. Love you too friend

[@Fmidas]

never thought that watching fingers moving on a guitar could be that much fun!

[@codyspinelli5609]

Man you’re a huge inspiration, been bingeing all your videos lately. Thanks for the tab books as well. They’ve been super helpful!

[@Pablo_25593]

Bought both tab books yesterday and this song is the first one I started learning. I wish you guys would release another one for bass as well. Killer video, as usual!

[@antaeus6637]

Great playthrough! I bought you're tablature books about a month ago, and they're amazing! I'm having a great time learning though the songs. I can't tell you how incredible it is that you made these tabs available. All the best. Keep up the great work!

[@CM-if5zy]

Damn I wasnt aware there was so much going on rhythmically in this song under the leads, im usually high off the fish bowl melodies, but seeing the work youre doing makes me appreciate this one more. Hails dude

[@HughMansonMD]

Karmacipher is another band that really makes me appreciate the rhythm side of guitar playing, especially towards the end of Whirl. For a lot of that song, and at multiple points, the lead hangs on a few notes for really long with some tremolo picking while the rhythm just goes wild.

[@GameAgentSchmidt]

Melodic, weird, chaotic and atmospheric DeathMetal Killersound and lyrics at the same time - I'm loving it !!!!!! Can't wait for a new release - greetings from Germany =)

[@codexnecro]

That riff @1:17 so good... :D

[@yomamsie4438]

The more I listen to artificial brain the more Iove artificial brain

[@bmhyakiri]

Damn, even the door is jamming.

[@wexlersprime]

That was amazing to see what's going on - really glad you posted this! Such an awesome song

[@ygghuur9606]

Oh hell yeah

[@video_ouija7114]

Absolutely rules damn

[@zb695]

One of my absolute favourite 'Brain songs. Though I am only a drummer I really like your playthroughs and covers man.

[@dookietoon7198]

thanks oleg always a pleasure watching u play

[@MrMooCow94]

Best song from their album

[@YouTube_gets_dumber_every_year]

Beautiful song. One of my faves off this album. Thoroughly enjoyed this playthrough. Thx🖤

[@johnny711]

these 2 riffs at 2:45 - 3:48. Brutality and sickness

[@dookietoon7198]

ya thats my fav section its wicked

[@NiklasBorjesson]

such great work and creativity

[@chaz_noize]

Cosmic chordal chaos 🛸🖤

[@michaeljoefox]

Glad you’re still alive and jamming man! Clearly you’ve figured out the sound thing we tried to work out 800 years ago. Never stop my man. \m/

[@writhingheap5525]

I always learn a ton and become a better player from looking at bands' tabs and watching them play. Thanks for all the content.

[@stevenglasl1443]

Glad to see an update. Love watching/learning!

[@JIbbWhistle]

Great work. Snagging both tab books!

[@azathothic]

3:35 slide note

[@AntonioFreyre]

so glad you're back with videos

[@Manu_Anachronism]

That's it. I'm buying the tabs.

[@AndrewLein]

such a unique style

[@roberttsang1445]

hey oleg, nice to see your passion for the guitar has not changed since the 6th grade. you came a long way, keep it up man.

[@noobsauce]

Robert! I remember us trying to learn Trial By Fire by Testament and failing miserably. How the hell are you doing?

[@RichardMatthews.youtube]

Awesome playthrough! I love this song

[@chancelacinak7630]

my body is ready for new arty b.

[@SonicAssaultBand]

Insane riffs !!🔥

[@SadisticKillerXx]

When is the new album coming out? I hope soon and that you all are are ok in this pandemic. Great playthrough !

[@noobsauce]

Can't say when it's coming out yet, but we have 10 songs going through the demo process now. Hope you're doing good as well!

[@viki2133]

@@noobsauce Has Colin opened his studio yet or is it still not safe enough? Last time I checked NY was quite a mess when it came to the whole 'vid thing.

[@erickaphin8861]

totally bad ass thank you

[@officialgamaza5605]

fuck yes dude i've been waiting for you to do this one so i can finish learning it

[@lapielazuli2000]

great job! great song! gg

[@charlieaugenti8303]

Fuck yeah dude. So good!

[@hollowroots2197]

Perfection, as always. Oleg, are you still using the Aldrich pickups?

[@noobsauce]

Thanks so much! No Aldrichs on this one, it's got the Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient set.

[@richiefarrell4726]

Uff that riff that @4:31 is so distinctly ArtiB, beautiful. That setup you have going on with the Line 6 Helix through Cubase sounds awesome. Do you have to do much trickery in Cubase to get a good sound from it or is it fairly plug and play?

[@noobsauce]

Thanks! I went to Cubase from Reaper in order to switch over to the same DAW as my bandmates for easier project sharing. Both are great DAWs honestly. As far as the Helix goes, it's great right out of the box and it's pretty amazing once you find your tweaks. Really simple to use, and there are a ton of tutorials online that get you up to speed.

[@richiefarrell4726]

@@noobsauce awesome thanks for getting back! Sounds like a nice set up. Currently using Reaper, with a the Neural DSP Nameless Plug-in, it's pretty limited in scope plug-in but that's the beauty of it too. On an unrelated note, I'm really curious how it works in ArtiB on the guitars, is there 3 guitarists who would play live? Looking forward to the new stuff very much.

[@noobsauce]

@@richiefarrell4726 the band started with 2 guitarists, and I came on board in 2014 as a live guitar fill-in. After a year of playing shows/first US tour, the band decided we should join forces for good, and now we're here. We still write parts for two guitars, and whoever is around for live shows gets to play them!

[@richiefarrell4726]

​@@noobsauceThat's a rather unique and openminded arrangement for metal guitarists to establish, very cool!

[@noobsauce]

@@richiefarrell4726 Thanks! At this point, we've had countless shows with fill-ins for all original members. It's almost a collective, and we love that communal aspect. Ultimately, we always want to do what best serves the band/music. If it means we need to find someone to play a stacked lineup, we try to make it happen.

[@richardtraves2006]

Man I am absolutely picking up a tab book. Great playing, love the music! What amp are you using to get such a sweet guitar tone?

[@noobsauce]

Thanks so much! I'm actually using the Line 6 Helix plugin in Cubase for tone here.

[@tsnowsill]

Fuck me that was excellent

[@petergjata1498]

Nice, really enjoy these videos. I'm thinking of buying the tab books, are the guitars tuned to E standard to play both of the records? And I don't need Guitar Pro to open the files, just a pdf reader, right?

[@hollowroots2197]

There’s a PDF version included with GP files.

[@petergjata1498]

@@hollowroots2197 Oh okay right, I wanted to be sure I didn't need to have Guitar Pro to open the pdf files (sorry, I'm getting kinda dumb in these days)

[@the_trash_mane5875]

I'm pretty sure the tuning is BEADGBE

[@petergjata1498]

@@the_trash_mane5875 Thanks, that's great, I hate changing tunings since I don't have a software pitch shifter or something similar.

[@noobsauce]

Glad you're enjoying the vids! All songs are played on 7 strings in standard tuning, except for Static Shattering on Infrared Horizon, which is tuned a half step down. And yeah, if you don't have Guitar Pro, there are PDFs of all songs included.

[@Slime-Man-Extreme]

Oleg, is your door made out of jell-o?

[@noobsauce]

It's actually not a door, it's a rift in space-time

[@Slime-Man-Extreme]

Haha, always knew you were a space traveler

[@craigjames1082]

@@Slime-Man-Extreme That explains where these riffs come from!

[@randomguitarnote8887]

Amazing, what you tuned to?

[@noobsauce]

Standard on a 7 string

[@viki2133]

Is there going to be anything composed by you on the new record, Oleg? Cheers!

[@noobsauce]

Album 3 will have one song by me, along with a small section in one of Dan's song. I have a few stored up for following releases too. I'm still pretty slow with writing, but hoping to get better and better

[@echolessowl]

what kinda plugins are you using to get this tone? i've been chasing it for ages now i'm dying to know

[@noobsauce]

I don't recall what I used here, I think it's the Line 6 Helix Native plugin. Not sure which amp models. Sometimes I use the Neural DSP Archetype plugin as well. Between those two, you have a plethora of tones to work with

[@noobsauce]

Keep in mind that your pickups will always play a large role in tone profile. And sometimes, a good tone doesn't sound great on its own, but sounds just right in the mix

[@echolessowl]

@@noobsauce ah yeah that makes sense, ty!

[@sevenninespades]

What guitar is that?

[@noobsauce]

Custom guitar made by a luthier named Joe Kruse

[@dis.infectant]

Flatwound G? Haha

[@noobsauce]

Do people do that? I can't imagine that sounding good for this material

[@dis.infectant]

@@noobsauce Only the G. It may lack that grit from the wire coils, if that's what you mean. You're on a 7 so it may not matter as much with gauge. It's basically just like a thicker plain string, so much so you don't even notice it's even wound at all.

[@noobsauce]

@@dis.infectant are you referring to true flatwound strings that are used in jazz guitar? Cause I've never heard of people mixing flats and roundwounds. I just use regular Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalts standard 10 gauge.

[@dis.infectant]

@@noobsauce Yes. Someone accidently gave me a pack of flatwounds once... Stocks sets tend to gravitate between too light or too heavy on the G for me, and I prefer a non-wound. After finally breaking one, I replaced it with the flat and it worked perfectly for me. I asked, as it almost looked like a flat. Must've just been the glare. Haha

[@noobsauce]

@@dis.infectant Interesting, do you find that string to be noticeably warmer in tone?
