TEXTURES - Joe Tal - Shaping A Single Grain Of Sand (OFFICIAL PLAYTHROUGH)

[@chassegardee7694]

Joe Tal is one of the greatest guitar players today. No gimmick, pure talent, not here to show off and do things to please trends.

[@jamespeterson4275]

Fully agreed

[@Arrkhmisanthroper]

First. PD: Love how textures mixes the chugga chugga with actual melodies.

[@6sentient]

sweet baby jesus,that tone *drools*

[@AndreaShading]

Sooo much love for ya guys but... WHAT ABOUT GENOTYPE?

[@OlehRA]

Old sounds of Textures in new hands. So nice song!

[@sampoitevent2872]

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for posting. Unfortunately, as I feared, tons of the amazing and subtle details of the playing in the song are lost in the album's mix. It's not a bad mix, but as Joe's playthrough shows, a lot of stuff is either difficult to hear or or totally lost altogether.

[@t3hgir]

I respectively disagree. Try listening with good headphones or speakers and a proper source, the album mix for Phenotype is fantastic.

[@miroslavdimitrijevic3666]

@@t3hgir absolutely agreed here. mix is brilliant

[@grantolson7200]

Here I was thinking John Browne was the God of downpicking. I never knew there was another!

[@Dannnny4444]

Try once to play Master of Puppets with downpicking and say not James Hetfield is one of the bests. Even though Joe Tal is a master, too.

[@Trendkiller333]

You can add Chris OJ Ojeda from Byzantine to that list as well. ☠️💀☠️

[@DrowningTimeOfficially]

❤ Joe's playing ❤

[@rollpoze]

it's great

[@AndrewLein]

actually live playthrough yay

[@migpolli04]

my. god. This is some next level composing. But: what about Genotype guys?

[@jamespeterson4275]

Don't remind me ;_;

[@davidandre3719]

1:22 After The Burial want their riff back 😜

[@LeeCassidy]

God damn. From like the 2:52 mark onwards, the riffing is just insane. Incredible.

[@beanzthumbz]

Yeah, dude has pretty high level thrash chops. Trying to get to 230bpm downpicking and galloping speed has driven me insane the last few months haha

[@toxendon]

Does this mean we get to hear about Genotype soon? Because I'm about to lose my fothermucking mind!

[@CRAY0NEAT3R]

Eratosthenes I completely forgot about Genotype. I can't wait man. A 45 minute long conceptual track from Textures can't be anything but amazing.

[@toxendon]

Yeah, and the fact that we have *no* announcement from them makes me a bit nervous.. CROSSES RULES

[@travismcginnis7515]

Apparently your nervousness was not unwarranted :(

[@marcsee4072]

Textures is the only band that can pull male cleans w style!

[@ApocrifoBand]

the zen master : Joe Tal!!!!

[@macepick]

That was amazing. I've been jamming Phenotype for the past two months and it still crushes every time. Great tone as well...What kind of pickups?

[@alpenjodel24]

If Joe is reading the comments: What string gauges do you use?

[@joetal]

Just your standard 10-56. Cheers brother!

[@alpenjodel24]

wow that's pretty light for this tuning. thanks for your reply, you rock!

[@lukahmog]

Awesome tone Joe! Question for you: What was the signal chain for this recording? What amp/cab combination did you use?

[@joetal]

Luka Markovic Guitar --> Kemper profiling amp --> Cubase . The guitars from the original mix are also blended in for extra thickness , the signal chain there was Guitar --> ts9 --> modified 5150 --> Bogner cab (+ another Marshall cab in a different room).

[@ZeeKat]

Ooh, a new Textures vid. Does it mean Genotype is near?

[@OlafMcKrak]

TEXTURES IS BACK! make Genotype ....:)..............

[@rottenpotatoess]

What model is this guitar? Really in love with it btw pretty brutal sound and great playing

[@wallface29]

I believe it's the Ibanez RG15&#LT%Q@_3

[@wallface29]

Or the RG7PCMLTD

[@rottenpotatoess]

thanks a lot

[@galopin4790]

Sweet C-24 soundboard !

[@OlafMcKrak]
