Not a single boring second from this track. I love how this dude is literally the best technical guitarist in all of humanity.

[@gerardogomdl]

I can never get bored of this song... or the whole EP

[@MrVi9rus]

You got lucky having a friend talented enough to play through this stuff with you, both of ya are monster players amazing stuff.

[@DavidNwokoye]

I came here from Tosin Abasi's recommendation on Ola's video. You're an amazing player.

[@dave6564]

you, rick graham and plini are the most inspiring guitarists imo.

[@xeyon]

Dave and Owane

[@Betrayedbyreason]

Dave excellent choices! Check out Sergey Golovin if you haven’t already!

[@camendozamusic]

What about Nick Johnston?

[@mohitrahaman]

tosin abasi, jason richardson!

[@mohitrahaman]

@@camendozamusic yeah nick johnston, mateus asato,

[@stickyoctopus858]

Relistening to the EP, this is one of the best songs I have ever heard. I have been replaying it for days.

[@ProjectPhoenix21]

Started listening last year. The entire EP is insanely good. Don't ever stop making music, it's too good.

[@arjunjsatheesh8899]

I would never ever let my guitar see this..EVER

[@liamerick7262]

Amazing...so inspiring...please do more of this playthroughs.

[@pauripollmarti7413]

The section from 1:54 to 2:15 give me chills every time I listen to it. I'ts just magnificent! I've never heard any sweep picking lick as good as yours, absolute fire. You deserve more recognition, your playing if from another plane of existance man ...

[@DeathShark00]

if youre not already familiar with them, save us from the archon have so many riffs like that as well

[@HarptoHeart69]

What sweep picking, he's just sliding back and forth down the fretboard lmao. 🤣

[@davidgiffel4001]

​@@HarptoHeart69 2:00.....

[@voji7715]

2021 and this shit is sounding better than ever 🔥

[@michaelthompson3286]

Out of all the new ultra-technical shredders you're definitely one of the most interesting musically, brilliant stuff!

[@tmayne220]

Absolute banger.

[@mik-kosma-guitar]

THIS is so powerful. Every time I see this, I want to play all week...

[@shan0789]

jeez so much happened in this song, what an absolute musical journey! catchy, tech, shreddy. all things i wanna hear in music!

[@FuCkCrazY1]

MY FAVORITE SONG!! THE DREAMS COME TRUE

[@alexnorth622]

Bought the album right after I saw this ... thanks

[@ultragukuss1325]

Absolutely unbelievable playing! And composition as well. I am overwhelmed, thanks 🙏

[@flipatomas]

What a great song. The entire album is an ingenious guitar work! Fell in love with Permanence recently

[@StealthyNinja1985]

Very inspiring to watch the play through. Awesome job!

[@Adrionic]

2:48 is one of the sickest riffs I've ever heard.

[@therealexpletive]

the ending is MASSSSSSIIIIIVVVEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[@nikkozippo]

I'm having Save Us From the Archon feels, this is awesome!

[@istillsuckatguitar]

The whole EP is totally frigging brilliant.

[@CammedFox]

This is fantastic. Rick Graham introduced me to your stuff and I'm so glad he did. This is the kind of stuff I play in my dreams lol

[@classicwrench9672]

Yo this boi is the heat i swear

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

One of the best tunes I've heard in awhile. The relaxed feeling at the end in stark contrast to the rest of the piece really works for me. Dynamic playing is what perks my ears most.

[@nothanks2596]

You are an absolutely phenomenal player. Such talent, skill, and dedication. I am so glad you released this album. Thank you for this beautiful art! I can't wait to see how you will apply yourself next!

[@YutsiAion]

[@Kjutte1]

If the speed is real or not, I give not one shit. The composing is amazing, absolutely top notch music.

[@Jack-wd9go]

[@LucasMoscardini]

[@CoolStuffDad]

Damn - such an epic audio creation - so musical, dynamic, groovy - musicianship on such an apex level!

[@dfed7673]

I just found out you were in The Helix Nebula. One of the first instrumental prog bands that I listened to 🤘

[@Derbearltd]

Currently relearning this song thanks to your tablature book. Such a good song.

[@TommyGunzzz]

An Abasi and a Strandberg in the same clip, that alone is worth a like

[@korhanalparslan8730]

This is so fucking good. This is the progress of the music to the next level.

[@ChrisLT]

Listened to the EP a few dozen times, never thought to look for a performance video. Glad I finally did, looks as fun and great as it sounds! That Abasi guitar is gorgeous.

[@grcardozo]

Awesome! Please updaload more playthroughs!

[@baptistewxpolpodcast3339]

Top tier songwriting and production. Bravo! I love these chord progressions, the way they're used, and the overall balance of the track. Exited to see what you do next!

[@shamikmukherjee2937]

You deserve 6 million YT subs. Not just 6000. You fucking Legend. 🙏🙏

[@Darota529]

So sick to see! I hope you'll eventually post one for Throne and Celestial as well. 💥💫

[@camendozamusic]

[@GuitarCosplayGames]

I listen to your EP when I go for a run, it loads a lot, I love all your tracks, it continues to compose, you are an ace of prog-metal :) PS: I am a multi-instrumentalist, I also composed a six-instrument album (12 tracks of different musical genres)
