I don't know why I never thought of building fills that way, but it makes so much sense. Great riff and video! I love seeing your song building process.

[@louisanthony266]

I was just thinking the same thing. It seems so much easier and organized to break it up rather than trying to play one long fill in one take.

[@MaddMag]

Yeah, or even just auditioning different fills with logics take folder. Gives you a chance to hear them in the larger context and explore

[@knoa1436]

You sir have quickly become my current favourite guitarist. Just discovered you and portraits recently and your entire songwriting process has become a huge influence to me as an upcoming producer/composer. Your videos are a blessing!

[@DeathofaNote]

Not only is the song sick but the video format and editing is top tier man

[@PrivilegedWhiteMan]

guys will listen to something like this and go hell yeah

[@JoshuaDeLaVictoria]

“hell yeah” -me

[@used019]

OOOOF that guitar turned out amazing.

[@Owtyg23]

Awesome piece, always impressed by your production speed and how elegantly you chase an idea without getting too sidetracked

[@JoshuaDeLaVictoria]

Thanks! Part of it is that I don’t want the camera footage to end up being 100gb lol

[@iconicguitars]

What a fun trip to join you on man! Amazing!

[@unw7rthy]

love the use of cinematic mode, epic songwriting process too

[@wagyube]

This sounds awesome Josh! You always layer super well, nice session👌🏾

[@nickkfps3800]

We need more videos like this Josh!!

[@NiklasMeads]

Woah this is so cool, gotta try this style of composition in my own music!

[@aolien2739]

Love this Josh! The end result was spectacular, and as someone else mentioned, writing guitar parts using chords with fills is not something I've thought to do. 🤘🤘

[@officialxomusic]

Love this style of videos, just building riffs and showing the whole production process. pls keep making them

[@louisanthony266]

Always fun to watch these style of videos. I always learn a lot when I watch these vids. Keep up the great work!

[@iagosalomon]

Amazing man, so nice to see your process

[@HoaPierre]

yeah man, nice, funny take, really can tell u're not used to that tuning cuz you made it sound like a song that would be written in standard tuning, at least that was my first thought, love it tho

[@cyrnoz1803]

Haven't tried yet but the first voicings might not be playable in standard. Also the idea of this kind of process is not necessarly to come up with a "open tuning" song, but rather compose something without relying on the paterns yiu know on the instrument

[@JoshuaDeLaVictoria]

That’s funny! I’ll have to try some different tunings. Not sure how to get an “open tuning” sound I guess. I was using a bunch of open strings in the chords and lines 😁

[@camilofernandez3588]

Loved this demo. Guitar sounds so good too !!

[@camilofernandez3588]

please keep working on it 🙏

[@mattdotson7328]

just discovered this, and it is amazing

[@lasolasolaso]

Wow, love it so much!

[@skorotone]

What's your filming setup (camera, lights)?

[@cobysterman]

Hell yeah man, this sounds awesome

[@g6dhand]

Love the riffage ❤‍🔥i feel like vocals could go insane on it

[@JoshuaDeLaVictoria]

That’d be awesome 🙌

[@hobby8master]

Love the sound of the guitar when you were doing the "fills", guessing that's also archetype asato?

[@JoshuaDeLaVictoria]

It’s all Asato!

[@n10tan1gam1]

Other than Grove Bass, was this made using base Logic? I don’t think I saw anything other add ons. Really curious as I’m on the ledge to buy Logic

[@nathandady]

That’s sick. Awesome

[@MaddMag]

Archetype Asato fits this tuning so well.

[@Polletross]

The Nolly bass drooool

[@ShadrachsGuitar]

have you been listening to Snake Eyes by Ares? This is giving very similar vibes in the best way possible haha

[@miinpajamas6680]

ur video editing is on par with someone with over 5mil subs, so professional :p

[@CrisRYMER]

I love thisss

[@hypha1]

aries type beat

[@r_pro_]

🐐

[@JohnnySideburnsX]

Yvette Young tuning with the low F to C

[@tierankarb]

therers a quick way to strip the silence.. press control+x

[@JoshuaDeLaVictoria]

I keep forgetting this is a thing haha. Although I don’t mind doing it manually

[@tierankarb]

fair haha, next time if you remember, give it a try, might save some time \m/ love the videos though@@JoshuaDeLaVictoria

[@androsintang]

😍🔥

[@TJisJustFine]

This sounded so sick, its so impressive you can play immediately what you write. I find I need to practice quite a bit so I have to punch it in initially. Also rest in piece 4:3 aspect ratio, you will be missed ❤
