Tosin Abasi Clinic Brisbane 13 February Part 1

[@cottoncandy113]

I don't play guitar, but I love hearing Tosin talk about music. It's so informational, and he seems so honestly helpful and nice.

[@BlakeSmashed]

I found this in my suggestions while watching Periphery... Boy was this NOT what I was expecting to hear. So awesome though, I am glad to have found this. Genius!

[@allstar550]

I love how even though he is so talented, when he starts playing an open string chug riff, you can still see a smile start to creep across his face.

[@prodchronic]

Yo almost 10 years later but thank you so much for taking this video.

[@darkhero101010]

i'm feeling kind off depressed today and watching this vid has made me feel better, thanks for the upload

[@MyrdyCC]

I sit in front of my computer and smile the whole time. man, i love this guy!

[@ZitkyAdams]

I can't believe this has only 49k views. This musician is phenomenal.

[@Noodlezoup]

Tosin, you are my fucking hero. I cant stop listen to your stuff!

[@QuinnParsley]

I've just started to get into Tosin Abasi's music, but I'm really starting to like what I hear from him.

[@Valentineskidd]

Tosin is such a cool guy. Just the way he is and the way he dresses. All round cool guy.

[@montanh08]

everytime i watch this i feel like i keep watching something historic...tosin is great

[@SecretAgent068]

I discovered AAL within the last year and Tosin has easily become one of my favorite guitar players. It's exciting to think about what he'll be doing in the future. Truly an inspirational musician who is leading the way for the next generation of great players.

[@brwnie00]

Thanks for uploading!

[@alex30yw]

i could listen to him play all day

[@RandyLott]

This is the best I've heard his guitar! Thank you for filming. You definitely captured great video and sound.

[@marlad78]

najlepszy kolorowy grajacy na gitarze jakiego widzialem w zyciu !!

[@GanjaPharmzor]

I can watch this guy for days...

[@benaberry]

Tosins sweeps are sweet.

[@blackblurable]

Dope, haven't finished watching it. But thus far it's insane. I love Tosin, Guthrie, Loomis, and Muenzner. Amazing guitarists!

[@BoyOfLol]

Had the privilege to see these guys with Meshuggah this past year. Holy cow. Amazing freakin concert.

[@ACDCBoy62]

Trying to learn really hard stuff, in my experience, can end up creating really useful and compelling exercises. For example, I tabbed out the tapping lick in the middle of Isolated Incidents some time ago and I practice it regularly. Even though I still can't play it well, making exercises out of parts of it has helped me write some vaguely similar tapping stuff on my own. So, even though it may seem impossible, it's a good idea to try anyway.

[@jamesonwlucas]

Well I don't know about you guys. But regardless of the negative connotations that you're putting onto Tosin because of his fashion style, I believe that the music speaks for itself and wins out at the end of the day. I've met Tosin before as well, he's a very humble, genuine, and real person. And regardless of what he wears, I think he's an innovator and a visionary, and I'm not even super into his band or shred study or anything of that sort. I just have respect.

[@IronreaverVII]

That song is a beauty. Also check out Images and End of the Beginning.

[@Hailingball]

\m/ Brilliant, wish I could have seen him live! :) He's BEAST! haha

[@koncove]

Thanks for uploading this :)

[@istillsuckatguitar]

Fantastic. Thanks for posting this great video (and part 2).

[@carakenio]

I agree w/ your opinion ,& also want to add that Tosin rules in the techniques & music style he performs on the guitar . & again I applaud his taste fashion wise ,it is very refreshing to see a person getting away from the dark , goth ,raggedy cliches of the metal wardrobe...

[@MrAkumaGouki]

tempting time, first track of the self entiteld album

[@boogahed]

great upload mate

[@kermheat]

thanks !!!!

[@nmeau]

I live in Brisbane and I missed Tosin being in town? What theaaaargh!!!!

[@xtothx7]

Wow thanks man !

[@thundermorphine]

I'd love to see a Guitar Hero-version of this song! :)

[@alex30yw]

you notice how when hes answering questions, touching his guitar and itching to play another song? thats because he loves what hes doing and having fun. he may have practiced a shit ton but in the end its about fun. love tosin

[@MrNiptuck11]

I love all of his heavy licks I wish I knew what tunning they are in haha

[@MrEvilBacon]

Damn! that Custom 8 is sick! how can you not like Ibanez. can't wait till i one day get my custom ibanez!!!

[@arsenalfanrichi]

I Don't think anyone fuses as many different elements into a song as melodically and smoothly as Abasi, The Debut album was beautiful

[@thatrussianguy1]

I like the fact that his outfit goes with the guitar.

[@jordosimplythebest]

His arm muscles move like waves along with the song in perfect timing while he is tapping with both hands.

[@Machina.M3dia]

when I just listen to AAL songs I kinda vibe out because it sounds so fucking cool. I forget that Tosin is actually playing everything till I watch videos like this. Then I go cry in a corner because I'll be 217 years old before I'm that good.

[@KappaManDan]

At 30:29 I'm pretty sure he meant A# not Bb. Even though they are enharmonically equivalent it is diatonically incorrect. Just in case anyone was confused.

[@lordgraga]

KZbin has a stabilization filter that can filter the movements from the handheld camera. You might want to use it.

[@JordanATE]

Personally love the way Tosin dresses. Its so great to see this guy walk on stage dressed really well and shred the fuck out of EVERYONE!! I hate the metal stereotypes, he basically breaks them all. Granted he isn't just a metal guitarist...he's a virtuoso.

[@Alexicst]

Yeah! Thanks....

[@PJTheCurryGod]

amazing

[@Laguna69]

tosin to G3!!!

[@blaheehoo]

I agree 100% with what you're saying 'sept for your "that's why they're called AaL"...they named it that because he wanted to portray how we are all essentially animals and that we can't let our anthropocentrism get ahead of us...but I also like your version :)

[@bjerkeaa]

To the guy who uploaded this: high five.

[@ThePlebe21]

I remember being so surprised that there wasn't a bassist the first time I saw them live

[@IamLeTigre]

vai has even said tosin is amazing and that he's a legend. He said that he was incredibly impressed right to tosins face

[@mrsroboto22]

Oh Tosin!

[@atari3200t]

9:05-9:09: Your guitar playing causes me tension then a great release

[@Kenti59400]

Tempting Time 1st song of eponym album :)

[@megaextreme100]

8 strings?OMG this guy is EPIC!

[@thundermorphine]

This guy is insane!

[@styrofoamsoldier]

the guitar is one of the sexiest 8 strings ever ♥______♥

[@jessbpowers]

he makes me want an 8 string guitar so bad, but i know im just not ready yet

[@JimiBrady]

Love it when he points to someone off-stage and tells him to sit his ass down and listen to the magic.

[@MrEndovision]

No prob. Glad to help!

[@knappymer]

you can thank all the funk bass and guitar players for his slap style.Victor Wooten was one of the first bassists to incorporate that style of playing on bass.

[@ncs818]

i noticed this too. but when i saw him in houston he was rockin a super big white tee haha

[@LukeBodom]

holdsworth Veryyyy inspiring jazz musician

[@trapOrdoom]

holy fucking hell... i thought when i bought my 7 string i'd try out Tempting Time, but after fucking seeing this shit... omfg. it looks fucking impossible. i'm amazed... Tosin Abasi is something else.

[@JaketheSnakeESP]

I like how he coordinated his outfit to match his guitar

[@TheBlindHouse]

that used to program the sequence of start of the topic Tempting Time? Help me Please!

[@ykhi]

the part at 36:58 is beautiful

[@bloodcoveredreaper]

Not to mention he's also fucking hilarious. When I saw them, he says "the album comes out in two weeks. . . wait, actually, it comes out next week. But I bet most of you have it already. We love you anyway."

[@JackCarlino]

anyone know what that stand he's using for the axe fx is called? can't find one anywhere.

[@tommyhaynes521]

insane !

[@samcheramie5856]

I really need to know what part of his thumb makes contact with the string when he does the thumping technique

[@JohnDoe-dh8xc]

the outer edge of his thumb grazes the string

[@MetallicOpeth]

"I got into 8-string guitars because of Meshuggah" pretty much the best answer you can give

[@G27dude]

How about we all just listen to the guitarists we personally enjoy. Goddamn..

[@TheSkoofus]

37:00 is the coolest sounding thing ever.

[@dbeatdano498]

37:00-37:28. My mind was officially blown.

[@olpaxis]

Anyone knows if Tobin also uses Ableton for creating synths, playing live etc?

[@shenkeey]

Saw him just yesterday! Uploading some stuff now :)

[@HaZexHD]

what pickups are thse?

[@jessbpowers]

does anyone know what gauge strings tosin uses?

[@Mayjayallday]

yes

[@matthewd6306]

He's pretty good.

[@Drtydeeds]

Was that homestar runner that asked him the question about chord vocabulary ~ 9:41 ?

[@BelgianMisha]

which school he went in please? Thank you :)!

[@Alexicst]

What is the first song he plays called?

[@eastwoodize]

@KitRamsey1 no he dresses awesome

[@LionHeartPortugues]

What did he answer at 15:00? couldn't understand it well.

[@YoLpIsBest]

Can anyone suggest artists or bands that play this kind of music but a bit easier? I like this type of jazzy metal a lot but I can't play AAL songs yet.

[@Dimebag08RIP]

@ZuperFreak01 Nevertheless, I think we can all agree his fashion style is pretty damn cool. He's just a cool ass dude and one amazingly talented individual!

[@RuaILILIL]

whats the first song?

[@deftones0918]

Did anyone else see God while watching this?

[@mikejayyy]

What is the first song he plays?

[@SleepingGiant45]

Always goes back to Meshuggah, doesn't it? (By the way, I'm getting an 8-string guitar because of Meshuggah's Koloss album)

[@Adrian.katzenstein]

Tosin is already 3 in 1.

[@hanifabidin90]

lol i thought i'm the only guy that really2 like the way he dresses.....fucking classy, elegant, and gergous.....

[@JackCarlino]

google 'mel bay joe pass guitar chords'. i think the 5th site from the top has it displayed for free. thats a good book to start with.

[@grindingvomitreflux]

What did he answer at the "favorite band" question????

[@SocialGore]

That pants tent tho

[@HiddenEffectsHD]

He is one of the best guitarists I have ever seen. Also why is it Misha gets his hands in evrything. I mean he is great too. But damn lol

[@evanfity]

hahah this guy is so beast

[@eastwoodize]

part @ 37.00 should be a song

[@Heinrick192]

I like this Ibanez more compared to his TAM100, that white is so fresh

[@SuborbitalLobotomy]

Check out the TAM10 :)

[@tasteegold7772]

now he's got the weird ass strandberg hybrid prot guitar with a different brand of pickups every month thats ugly as sin but will probably sell like hotcakes in canada cause he plays it ;P
