Paul Masvidal plays "Evolutionary Sleeper" on BIAS FX for iPad

[@disistheway2010]

One of my favorite guitarists of all time

[@dgomez6778]

man, that guitar solo makes me cry each time i listen to it, it's just so beautiful

[@mike5177]

Paul is awesome. Met him and chatted for a time back in the early 90s. Such a cool dude, and watching him play in person was mind blowing.

[@rodrigocastrotoledo6666]

Paul you are my guitar hero since 1991 !!!!

[@mysteriousDSF]

what a nice apartment

[@aldoorozco7978]

What an amazing guitar player

[@idontmind5815]

He's actually REALLY good. Sad he left Death but i'm glad he formed Cynic, which is more his type of music.

[@michaelschneider5574]

The legend.

[@EVEROSFP1]

Paul is one of my favourites... Coolness and precision..

[@nickm2890]

Looked it up to see how you played it. That lasted maybe 30 seconds. Very quickly started to sing behind you. I was too into the music to stop and think about all that. My man, that was art. A true masterpiece. Thank you very much for recording this. Best wishes to you

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO......

[@disc9096]

Paul, please do more of these, I love it. Do the entire album! :]

[@FSATA]

I would love to see Celestial Voyage, that's an awesome song

[@38LittleRock]

Always love me my Paul Masdival and Cynic

[@XDfromspace]

Amazing, very cool to get to see Masvidal playing in detail, good stuff Positive Grid.

[@PinoyGuitaristDad]

One of my all-time favorites!

[@HristoVelev]

Daym how great that song is

[@refusedone]

love that solo

[@MatuellaSlipknot]

Awesome even without the screams - but oh man, we can't deny that the screams are the cherry on top of the cake.

[@lukasazdanovic6477]

Tbh, the remixed version strips away so much feel and leaves it sounding too robotic. Im not one to neeed screams, but this takes away so much of that background ambience as well and loses all feel

[@ThatDereKid]

@@lukasazdanovic6477 I disagree. Remix improved the album in every way and in my opinion is the best prog metal album ever. The screams were not well-done and the new mix is insanely crisp (I cannot believe the drums were not re-recorded).

[@codytaylor7861]

@@ThatDereKid couldn't agree more. The screams sound so flat and dehydrated next to all the lush sounds from the rest of the song. I much prefer the remixed album.

[@greedo69]

​@@codytaylor7861straight up wrong opinion ngl

@progfox come on now, objectively, you think those bone dry screams sound good?

[@dimasferiant4269]

This one My favorite song 🤘

[@skydwellingmusic]

Lookin' like the Steve Jobs of Death Metal

[@idontmind5815]

It's not death metal, it's prog. metal. Uroboric Forms and Focus can be viewed as death metal but any release after that has become more and more progressive. Besides you don't have to look like a total jabroni to play metal. I play myself and when i started like 30+ years ago i had long hair, just like Paul did, but then i got older and i got this crazy idea of going to a hairdresser/barbershop for a cut. Wild, huh?

[@unluckykeys]

​@@idontmind5815 death, prog, progressive death, whatever the fuck. who cares, it's metal. also fairly certain their comment wasn't a dig at his lack of long hair/unkemptness

[@unluckykeys]

​@@idontmind5815in other words, it's a joke and you're a nerd

[@idontmind5815]

Booo hooo obviuously it struck a nerve with you @@unluckykeys 👻 Did you press like on the Steve Jobs-comment, which in my opinion was a horrible comparasin, ❄️?

[@Natwonsalery]

I have reallt been trying to figure out how he gets such vibrant chords with that level of saturation on his distortion. Anyone with any tips

[@BJ.Cardoso]

What I do to simulate a cynic like tone is : put bass on 40,mids on 65,treble 80 and try to get a bright chorus effect going. I'm using a boss katana, not sure what amp you have do the biggest advice I have is use your ears.

[@Natwonsalery]

Thanks i recently got a blueguitar amp1 iridium. I found myself alot closer to that tone with a good amp.

[@BJ.Cardoso]

@@Natwonsalery also if you have a compressor I'd recommend using it and use an eq to boost the highs and lows

[@Natwonsalery]

@@BJ.Cardoso yeah i need to get a compressor. I particularly found achieving their tone seems to go easier on an amp that voices closer to like an old style marshall than the newer mordern distortion sound. The old style really gives clarity with chords

[@BJ.Cardoso]

@@Natwonsalery I mean if you see the video Paul is using a vintage amp sim, so that makes sense.

[@carlojackson21]

amazing!

[@ahmedhamzachahbouni763]

Awesome

[@JulianEmdon]

Oh man that's beautiful!

[@andym28]

I would buy that guitar for the dot inlays alone.

[@szveszs]

whata legend

[@labyzoune5751]

if you could fix the left/right pan bug when shifting preset that would be even better.

[@CrisRYMER]

The audio is from the record, this is just miming actually lol

[@positivegrid]

Actually, you can hear when the guitar track is soloed - he's not miming. When we do these artist videos, we usually get the stems from the record and replace the guitars with the ones shot onset. Your perception is understandable, because the bass and drums are from the record, but that's not the case. Hope that helps

[@richfrommitch]

Has anyone got the tab for the main riff after the opening chords? I just can't get the pattern down. Ta!

[@thiagotattoopiercing9451]

cynic é muito lindo velho!!!

[@BenoitAdam2]

01:05 this part reminds of armand van helden "music sounds better with you"

[@mitchomni]

Seriously some of the best shit!

[@kurdtjohn]

Holy hell the man just makes everything look so easy but it is not

[@lalljeemaks]

Wow!

[@crisrockable]

Thank you Paul!

[@Kadmium]

Would love to know how he gets that clean tone with just a bridge humbucker.

[@davidross6839]

Anyone know what type of ipad dock that is? Looks pretty sweet!

Is it this guy who played with Death at the age of 19?

[@morbidxoneq2013]

Yup.

Update this software! Its been so long since this very good piece of software has been updated. Ive been using it but considering changing if this app dont get IR support.

[@rudolfbartel6624]

Sounds not like 130 bpm?

[@wylde678]

Would prefer without the backing tack.

[@andreagranata3246]

please, a band with him, Danny Carey and Tosin Abasi

[@benharbak]

strandberg are quite well known for their subtle multiscale so, no, you're not smokin' crack.

[@colinsmith5879]

This is just the audio from the album! The only place where you can hear his playing is when they isolate the guitar track, all the rest is just the same exact audio you hear on the CD. Two thumbs up to Paul, but two thumbs down for the editors of this video

[@eugenneek]

what about isolated guitar on 0:57 ? they took it from master record? )

[@marco_silveira]

where are Tymon's vocals?

[@mazereon]

It really sounds like it. I think Colin's right.

It's Better without scream.

[@LeGrandPleb]

Sorry, but this song is empty without the growls. Normally, I wouldn't even complain as this is a guitar playthrough and I always prefer for playthroughs to just be the music, but in this case; if vocals are going to be included, then include all of them.

[@henrywalton5967]

100% agree all vocals or none

[@blackbeltjones2903]

The growls aren't even that prominent to begin with.

[@LeGrandPleb]

@@blackbeltjones2903 And yet for me it makes a huge difference without them. Edit: not about to have a back and forth over this 4 year old ass comment either. I said what I said and stand by it.
