I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Spiro is the best in the game right now. So sick dude

[@Anonymous-nq6xs]

i have had espada on repeat for two months. you are quite the contender yourself!

[@stevetim2029]

clayton is scary good too

[@AM-oj5xl]

Matteo mancuso is deff best in the game but this dude can shred. Would I listen to either of their music though?? Nope and that says everything hahahaha

[@bored-in-the-house3950]

Best in the game of music that I would never listen to in spite of admiring their skill.

[@AM-oj5xl]

@@bored-in-the-house3950 This right here. John Frusciante said it best: It’s not about showing people what you can do with a piece of wood in your hands, it’s about making music.

No one's talking about it, but the sound engineering part also is fucking good, really satisfying to listen to with a good headset

[@spirorips]

Thank you!

[@line6spidey]

@@spirorips Hey Spiro! Could you please upload more content on your youtube channel?? I'm starving for it

[@drrodopszin]

Amazing playing but the stereo image is very confusing to me. (Maybe the guitars were not double-tracked but some "artificial widener" was used?)

[@spirorips]

@@drrodopszin good ear! Yes It was a conscious choice to use only 1 guitar track per part, with the plugin’s new doubler feature. So nothing was double tracked. Completely tossing mono compatibility out the window for what feels like a slightly more unique sound to me.

[@anthonychrismignella]

Incredible production

[@fletcherfrets3497]

[@aloak]

You must not have heard of Berried Alive, then.

[@SeasonsWither90]

The sound is definitely Abasi. He changed the game from the early 2010s onwards. Still, Spiro is an incredible player

[@eliaskapravelos7171]

We NEED the full Platonist album so bad, some seriously inspiring stuff

[@DwayneCreates]

Spiro is arguably one of the most creative guitarists around right now. And he makes it look so easy.

[@bubbylikesfootball2441]

I also love the fact that what he writes is so musical too. There’s a lot of mindless shred out there and this is NOT that

[@ПётрСимагин]

What the hell just happened here? It's sick!

[@madmax_4917]

This is why i think tosin abasi is the EVH/yngwie/satriani and other pioneers of this generation. He really paved the way for modern guitarists like this one to use techniques abasi developed and take guitar playing to a whole new level.

Incredible playing Mr. Spiro

[@backroadsonline]

Wow, that was pure 🔥🔥🔥

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

Awesome to see the ESP JRV-8 in action in this context! I love mine, even though it weighs around 10lbs. 😅 Don’t make me buy Nolly X, Neural DSP. I’ve already got enough plugins! Asato, Henson, Petrucci, Gojira X, Morello, and Rabea. 🎸

[@FaxMercury]

how are you liking the JRV-8? on the fence about getting one myself

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

@@FaxMercury in terms of playability as an 8 string strat, it’s perfectly playable without much fatigue besides the weight. The upper fret access honestly isn’t great, even for the 22nd fret. The neck is not paper thin, but also nowhere near as thick as other 8 strings I’ve tried. It has beautiful cleans thanks to the 2 single coils, and the bridge humbucker is excellent for crunch, rock, and metal tones from the plugins I mentioned in my first post. Position 2 and 4 sound absolutely beautiful clean. I alternated between it and a 70th Anniversary Strat for testing clean tones, and the JRV8 held up great to the real strat. The Floyd is a Floyd - I love them and it works as expected, though a little firmer because of the increased tension from 8 strings and 4 springs to counter them. Many complain about the cost - I see it as a unicorn in the production line 8 strings. How many 8 string strats with this much versatility can you find as production models? None other than this, basically. No stainless steel frets is unfortunate, but if taken care of nickel will always play well. In a few years, either this kind of model will catch on, or it will become rare and sought after. I do wish it had 24 frets.

[@FaxMercury]

@@EulogyfortheAngels thanks for the comprehensive answer! I agree about the price point being for something unique, I was surprised this model went into production honestly. I had the JR 608, so i know about the weight but loved the neck and his signature fishmans for those versatility and cleans.

[@jowstmusic]

What?!?! What is this "Spiro"? It is a MACHINE! I'm looking you up. Neural DSP, you've gone off charts! But seriously now, what an amazing way to display Nolly X's capabilities, I am hoping that's a sign that this plugin goes onboard Quad Cortex next.. Am I right? Am I right??

new? It's just Mick Gordon with Tosin Abasi and Marty Friedman, nothing new without forgetting that it sounds like Srkrillex with guitars without no feeling

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

@@ryleywilson4361 no feeling? It made me feel a ton. All that critique when you could have simply said “meh, doesn’t do anything for me.”

[@ryleywilson4361]

@@EulogyfortheAngels These guitarists believe that moving bends and exaggerated vibratos anywhere is having feeling, they simply don't say anything, they don't know how to enrich a melody with feeling, their melody and their way of managing the notes have no feeling, their exaggerated faces when making a common vibrato, etc.

[@spirorips]

@@ryleywilson4361it sounds like it made you feel something enough to comment

[@ryleywilson4361]

@@spirorips Since you comment, I will give you a free analysis of your song, you only took Skrillex's dubstep, Andrewhulshult's music, which is something created mainly by Mick Gordon, you added some of Tosin Abasi's rhythmic technique with a need to put the alternated muted because you think it's your style which partly ruins the song, then you tried to add feeling with bends and vibratos that don't say anything thinking that you will impress those who look for feeling, but they only tell you that you have feeling the same ones that say to Jason richardson or michael angelo batio that they do have feeling, you can see your ambition of wanting to innovate and wanting to fill in things that you don't yet master in your song, your rhythm could have been much better, this song would have been better if you only started it in one way more elaborate, add more change of rhythm and especially the transition to the melody after the solo feels fast and forced, if your song had moved me something I would be commenting on it, but it is a shame to see nowadays psychopath guitarists who have no emotions to believe who know how to do it alone with feeling because they study it and run bends and poor melodies anywhere without saying anything
