NORTHLANE | RIFF EVOLUTION

EDIT: Just noticed the title problems you surely got it but the song M is Metamorphosis and D is DREAM AWAKE! Haha ► Join the community on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/robinleneutre (live 3 times a week) ►► PDF tabs in the description, Guitar Pro tabs on Patreon: www.patreon.com/robinleneutre

I'm guessing on Hollow Existence the song "M" is supposed to be Metamorphosis as well 😂

[@RobinLeneutre]

Aaron Stickle oh shit! I’m changing my editing software as soon as possible 😂

All that hard work and then you screw up the titles hahaha

[@RobinLeneutre]

I know! I should update my softwares 😂

[@shellb9175]

Sure, Northlane isn’t as technical as they used to be, but overall, the song writing has always been progressing. Jon has been killing it as the front writer, Marcus keeps getting better on the mic, and Nic’s insane drumming fucks me all the way up

Why would anyone dislike this? Lol always makes me laugh when people dislike a video of someone playing very well

[@2triggered2comment55]

I didn't dislike, but lack of this dude's guitar playing in the mix. Camera cuts. Idk.. sometimes I couldn't tell if he was actually playing the song honestly.

[@angryktulhu]

@@2triggered2comment55 so what? It wasn't a one take challenge or something. And most of the riffs aren't really hard to play so I'm pretty sure even an average player would play them after few attempts

[@jamesliandumusic]

This was hella dope 🔥🔥🔥

[@autogenes]

With the big change in vocals in 2014 came increasingly elaborate, beautiful and skillful instrumental compositions and even singing... Sorry if I'm late as fuck with this topic, ya'll are probably way past that. But this vid just reminds me how they are a very different band now - without the mystical, transcendental quality from the Discovery and Singularity era, Singularity being the absolute pinnacle in that regard. I'll never forget feeling the afterglow of a good acid trip, almost throwing up on my way to class because of the energy and intensity of Adrian's performance on every.single.track. blasting through my headphones... It was almost as if he was channeling entities who abused his system in order to communicate an empowering message to the listener. So powerful, so inspiring... God bless his soul

[@mzc102908]

I feel this EXACT WAY sober brother. Hole existence makes me weep.... But with strength. I throw my ego away...i don't have to pretend when i listen to that first ep. It's a beautiful thing

[@Dreamingofthisplace]

[@Pericles777]

I also tune my 8 string UP a half step I love using this tuning.

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

God I love this fucking band. How can you possibly hate on this progression jfc

[@Dantelemartez]

Thats interesting, heard that Discoveries was written on 6 string axes. And finally someone playing paragon ;)

[@deviltelletubbie]

Yeah, think you’re right! Fairly sure that in the music videos for Discoveries, you can even see one of the guys using a 6 string. Guess G# isn’t too mad of a tuning for a 6 string to handle. Singularity took it lower though so those 7s were totally needed.

[@DJENTISNTNOTAGENRE]

One of them, not sure if it was Josh or John, used to play a baritone 6 while the other played a 7 string, if I remember correctly.

[@Dantelemartez]

@@DJENTISNTNOTAGENRE Both Josh and John played 6strings, for sure on Discoveries, not sure on Singularity, they`ve switched to 7strings from node onwards.

[@DJENTISNTNOTAGENRE]

@@Dantelemartez Singularity for sure had 7s because that's when they started playing in that F/A# tuning. I'm pretty sure I remember watching the Dispossession video and one had a 6 and the other a 7, but I could be wrong. Either way, it would have to be a baritone 6 because any standard scale 6 string would not be able to handle drop G#

@@RobinLeneutre everyone's saying it's C# 'cause that's standard 9 string but C# doesn't sound right to me. Sounds much more like Bb (especially in Bloodline), but granted it is hard to tell when it's so low.

@@RobinLeneutre actually it's definitely C# in this song, my bad. Still think Bloodline is Bb though.
