same.. Was listening to Widek when I saw Paul's name in a song.. was like ahh yeah I member that song where he shreds like a god and was like yeap that one 🤘🤘
Damn, I just discovered 2 stellar players tonight, this guy and Angel Vivaldi. I am 52 and I remember there was quite a bit of instrumental rock guitar back in the 80's. Then came grunge of the 90's and lead guitar disappeared for a while, It slowly started working it's way back in. But still no instrumental players like Satriani, Vai, Yngwie . Glad it's coming back around. It helps keep the standards for rock guitar high, and that is where they should always be
Found vivaldi last night, and paul today, it looks like they're getting accidental cross promotion because of youtube's algorithm. Both of them are awesome.
youtube is pretty sweet with grouping related artists. sad to say it's how i find most of my music now-a-days. check out Intervals too...that guy is an exceptional guitarist
absolutely unbelievable! I have been listening on repeat for days, and I still can't wrap my head around the perfect harmony on top of the perfect melody. #futuremetal!"
My friend Olaf picked up all your albums for me last Christmas and even got you sign some of them and send some picks too. I was completely blown away. Can't thank him enough. Wanted to thank you too. That was awesome. You are one of my favorite modern shred guitarists. The scale choices, rhythms, and face-melting tech is out of this world. You are pushing the boundaries of what this instrument can do and I love it. :)
@@adeptusmechanicus1029 That's like me saying that your car is shit, and you answering with "then build a better one". Which is obviously stupid. He is a really good guitarist but certainly not beyond human lol. Check out Berried Alive for crazy shit.
An absolute masterpiece. You have such a brilliant tone. The riffs, melodies, and synth, are all beautifully done, you've inspired me and influenced my playing greatly. I wish you the best of luck with your playing and hope that you continue to make such incredible music.
I don't know how I'm just now seeing this. I've listened to it like 3 times in a row now. It's definitely one of my favorite instrumental guitar tracks eve!
Paul Wardingham always exceeds in creativity where most other guitarists fall short. I remember listening through Assimilate Regenerate and being blown away by at least 10 techniques I have never heard before in metal. Paul clearly makes his own rules. Looking forward to another album rich in inspiration!
This man has always made me cry at how amazing his songwriting and guitar skills are. It's usually one or the other. He is complete. He wrote in his Assimilate Regenerate CD-preorder message to me "Dear Rob, thanks for your support." No Paul, thank you. Thank. You.
Everyone loves your shredding, and for good reason. But your choruses (for lack of a better term) are what inspire me most. In all my searching I have never found another artist who makes me feel the same way I do for sections like 1:31, or the 'choruses' in your other work (Earth 2.0, Prophecy, and Futureshock are standouts for sure). I still can't believe how underrated you are after all this time. I only hope one day I can write music half as good as this!
This music is like all my favorite foods EVER, wrapped in a sci fi burrito with extra post apocalyptic sauce and washed down with all my favorite beers. So basically I love it more than anything new ever. Thanks Paul for existing.
WOW, this is more than a single, this is an EXPERIENCE! So much of this BLEEDS epicness like nothing ever before, I'm not quite sure how its possible, but you've improved over assimilate regenerate which still holds as my favorite album of all time. also the imagery in this is leagues better than anything i could've prepared myself for, so much fluid flowing groovy cinematic power in one song it boggles my mind. after hearing this and keeping the few snippets from "digital apocalypse" and "day of the droids" theres little doubt in my mind this will be one of the best albums ever. seriously, all of this is well BEYOND HUMAN! i can't wait for the full album.
Paul Wardingham thank YOU for being such an inspirational musician. i wouldn't be half the guitarist i am now if i never four your stuff are you going to do a lick from each song like last time cause merely attempting some of those helped me immensely.
im practicing like crazy 7/8 hours a day even though im 39, the dream of becoming as INCREDIBLE AND AMAZING as you are has not left me. Now i have the time to practice, i listen to you every time i take a break THANK YOU, YOU ARE AMAZING+++++++
I just bought the album... after listening to 1 minute and 23 seconds of this song! You are one INSANELY talented individual, Mr. Wardingham! It's fun to see you do your work in the video as well. I'm much more fascinated with watching the musician play. Especially METAL! Great work!
It's rare you get to witness raw talent in your face like this, Awesome job dude. You and Angel Vivaldi need to get together and make some music, It'd be pretty magical.
I found Angel through Paul. Anyways I agree. If Angel and Paul united then instrumental music like this might actually became a fad and beyond. It's a rare thing to find such emotion in non lyrical music.
Paul you never fail to amaze me. You create some of the most, if not the most creative and awe inspiring music on the planet. Cannot wait for the full album!
Speaking of being Beyond Human.... Paul, you are god damned wizard! At this point, magic is about the only way I could explain this level of talent! Its insane watching you play! Keep up the amazing work and I would say Godspeed, but you seem to already have that down......
Paul this is truly AMAZING! Your playing and song writing are legendary. An inspiration to us guitarist and so much more. Thank you. Regards from Montreal.
Coming back to this one nearly 10 years later, it really becomes evident to me just how much ahead of the curve your work has always been. So unfathomably ahead that nearly everyone else is YET to catch up, lol If it wasn't for Ghost in the Machine, Convergence and especially this song, I probably wouldn't be a metal fan now - and by extension wouldn't have met some of my closest friends. To say your music has massively improved my life is fucking cheesy but it's really the truth. Certainly not enough people know about you, but those who do are blessed. Stay cyber forever man, peace
Unbelievable! I didn't think it was possible to surpass Assimilate Regenerate, but it looks like I'll be wrong when the album comes out. Keep up the amazing work, Paul. Wish you the best and all the success in the world.
Gus Drax ..we'll I'm sure that with more dedication and practice, he could not only shred our faces off but possibly rip off the remaining parts of our skeletal facial structure, leaving a stump of a skull on top of our necks!...surely there should be a warning label on this video..oh well, it's a risk I'm willing to take!
This was such an amazing thing to watch, you have inspired me to write songs on my guitar, thank you for creating this beautiful, epic experience. I cried when the video began to buffer.
Metaljonus4020 Album will be out asap. Right now I like the more 'synthetic' element for my solo stuff, it works better for me. But in the future.....maybe
Paul Wardingham Well Asap is'nt fast enough! :P jk. Keep doing what you're doing dude I LOVE your stuff and have your 20 sexy make fuck licks package. Pretty gnarly stuff. :D
I think we should start a petition to have Paul take Jonas Kjellgren's place in Scar Symmetry or at the very least collaborate on a song or two. Seriously, these solos are exactly the kind of sound I would expect from their new Singularity trilogy.
absolutely entertaining hypnotic phenomenal virtuoso guitar shredding using every technical aspect and phrasing melodies harmonies it's incredible Paul. EPIC INSTRUMENTAL. I SAVED THE LINK. WOW.
After watching 5 times it is still amazing. How long do I know you now - 5 or 6 years? Think I first stumbled across your stuff when you uploaded the attack of the Necromongers vid. And you just keep getting better and better. I hope you will be really successful with this album. The last one already pretty much spread the word all across the shred metal scene, and I'm sure this will be even better.
Hey Seb, when are you going to do a cover of a Paul song, that would be freaking epic. I suggest Cyber Warfare ;-). Paul I've been waiting for this since I watched your Assimilate Regenerate playthrough, and it was worth it.
Haha, I think Paul is way out of my league. It would take ages for me to learn one of Pauls songs. + I don't have that much time anymore to practice hours a day like I used to some years back =). Damn social life!
Shred Metal is the best thing that happens on this kind of music! Many influences like jazz fusion, blues and classical music. Covers all the subgenres of metal on a new mechanic of composition, this subgenre defines at the real guitarist with skill and personality/style. I hope that in the future someone decide do a documental of Shred Metal with interviews of Jeff Loomis, Stephan Forte, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Tosin Abasi, Ron Jarzombek, Andy James, Paul Wardingham, Michael Angelo, Tony Macalpine, Kiko Loureiro, Exivious, Angel Vivaldi, Intervals, Sleep Terror, Scale The Summit and many others!
Paul, you have just some of the most amazing guitar skills I have ever seen. Can't wait to get your full album and listen to it over and over again like I did with the previous one. Keep up !
I used to listen Fear Factory as a kid and "Demanufacture" I loved especially. In Assimilate Regenerate Paul has exceeded FF in every single aspect by ten times while preserving the same brilliant atmosphere. Can't imagine what's Human Affliction going to bring... =] Absolutely top work man, can't wait till it appears in the store.

those 2 are amazing, check out buckethead, if these trees could talk, meridian, scale the summit... all great instrumetal bands :)
Polyphia as well. So glad I stumbled upon them, they have a great sound

Should check out Jason Richardson too. He has some fire :3

Holy hell....that's nice.
Absolutely. I'm blown the hell away
lead at 1:32 is so addictive. Awesome.
Greatest!!!
An absolute masterpiece. You have such a brilliant tone. The riffs, melodies, and synth, are all beautifully done, you've inspired me and influenced my playing greatly. I wish you the best of luck with your playing and hope that you continue to make such incredible music.
DistortionOverload Thanks so much :)
That's a great piece of music ...Definately original and powerful !!!
Cheers George :)
Paul, you are certainly beyond human. This is fucking awesome! Been waiting for the new album for ages, sounds like it'll be more than worth the wait.
great job 150% great music and just great all together can't get enough !!!!!! cheers and keep it coming !
Thanks!
Mr. Paul Wardingham. This level of epicness and Melody is "Beyond Human". It's something that all Metal Heads should experience...... \m/
I'm listening this piece over and over again :) simply amazing :) Looking forward for next great album of your's :)
How can perfection be made better? This song proves how.
For the love of all things good in this world...Put this music on Spotify.
I don't know how I'm just now seeing this. I've listened to it like 3 times in a row now. It's definitely one of my favorite instrumental guitar tracks eve!
Awesome! I'm glad you found me. :)
+Paul Wardingham same! I've been listening all day!
Is it too late to say that this is beyond mind blowing?? I've never been so inspired to improve my playing... Kudos to you.
Thanks man! All the best \m/

+Spaceboy74 haha thanks man!
Ever since you released your first album, you are the most complete guitarist I've heard. I cannot wait until your next one!
No one on the planet makes such complicated material look so effortless, but while also keeping it musical and interesting. You're a legend Paul!
Best instrumental album of the year again for sure; amazing!

Matthew McCall I second that request for more lessons Paul!! ;-) I will buy them for sure!
Just amazing melodie, harmony. Masterpiece
He has apparently graduated the advanced fast hand finger wizard master class
Awesome song, awesome playing. It is indeed beyond human to play like this......
Music like this brings me hope for humankind. To be free of imposed musical standards and enjoying music that stretches the mind.
+Kevin Daniels Awesome! great to hear you feel that way :)
Praise be onto the Under Gods
im practicing like crazy 7/8 hours a day even though im 39, the dream of becoming as INCREDIBLE AND AMAZING as you are has not left me. Now i have the time to practice, i listen to you every time i take a break THANK YOU, YOU ARE AMAZING+++++++

3 years on, and I find this riff permanently stuck in my head.
Thank you for many years of inspiration Paul :)
One of the most technically accomplished shredders I've listened to! Synth at the beginning reminds me of the terminator films, awesome work Paul!
You are awesome, thank you for the experience
Thanks for listening!
Just pure beautiful!
It's rare you get to witness raw talent in your face like this, Awesome job dude.
You and Angel Vivaldi need to get together and make some music, It'd be pretty magical.
agreed! what an epic might that be
same I came from an angel's video
Thanks man! Yeah that would be awesome. :)
I found Angel through Paul. Anyways I agree. If Angel and Paul united then instrumental music like this might actually became a fad and beyond. It's a rare thing to find such emotion in non lyrical music.

Very clean hands and terrific music. I enjoy the poop outta this!
+Charles Caswell Thanks Charles
I can't stop listening to this... This is amazing!
Beyond Human - Indeed. Great work! Greetings from Germany.
Guitarrista y músico que resalta sobre la mayoría que de por sí son buenos también. Disfruto cada uno de tus discos, Paul. Saludos desde Lima!
Its like my favorite 80's cartoons had a baby with fear factory and iron maiden raised it. Love it!!!
Dude holy mother of melodies you are king. The way you move your hand across the fretboard makes it seem like there's no friction, it's so smooth
Speaking of being Beyond Human.... Paul, you are god damned wizard! At this point, magic is about the only way I could explain this level of talent! Its insane watching you play! Keep up the amazing work and I would say Godspeed, but you seem to already have that down......
Thanks very much :)
I just keep on coming back to this song. It's not only played perfectly but the arrangement is also incredible.
+erazmo Thanks very much :)
can not wait for the entire album!!
That was awesome!! Can't wait for the full album release!
Okay. This song is incredibly awesome.
Brilliant! I'm not sure that I would have discovered you, if not for Andy James. I will now be watching and listening to much more of your work :-)
This is Excellent, i am very glad to find this great guitar player!! Thank You Paul for this music.
Thanks Julian. Glad you found me too!
That intro gets me going every time!!
Great song. Can't wait for the album.
Wing Chun on guitar efficiency of movement...Amazing..
I’m just absolutely amazed with this song!
Totally awesome. Great Work, Paul! :)
Thank very much :)
Very exquisite and technical music! Great musician! Thank you, Paul, for your creativity!
Paul you gotta get this on spotify!!
2:29 to 2:45 is woooooo divine...
Edit : 6 yrs later out of nowhere I wanted to listen this epic song. It's in subconscious still
Where has this amazing musician been my whole life? D:
Весьма крутой трек а так же техника игры на гитаре! :)
Немного напоминает стиль Fear Factory, только с какой то особой мелодичностью :)))
Paul this is truly AMAZING! Your playing and song writing are legendary. An inspiration to us guitarist and so much more. Thank you. Regards from Montreal.
I think my face just melted.
Absolutely stunning music by a musician whos talent is beyond human
mind blowing.
nobody does this type of shred better.

Thats great Paul. Awesome in every way. Riffs,chops,melodies and synth work.
Congrats man. All the best with your new album :)
Thank you Gus :)
You're no slouch in your own right Gus. :-D

Amazing! Just got the Download Pack - can't wait for the album
2:30 riff always gets me tingly down my back lol i love it
You're very talented, sir. And I'm glad that the technology allow us to discover, hear and share your music.
Peace and success!
Very good Paul,I expected nothing less from you! Can't wait for the rest of the album.
Excellent Track, brilliant album. Can't wait to hear the next one.

good guitar god, what have I stumbled onto today? this. is. amazing!

Freaking godly Paul!
Amazing work once again!
You know you have my full support from Greece never change !
Thanks Marios! :)
I think we should start a petition to have Paul take Jonas Kjellgren's place in Scar Symmetry or at the very least collaborate on a song or two. Seriously, these solos are exactly the kind of sound I would expect from their new Singularity trilogy.
absolutely entertaining hypnotic phenomenal virtuoso guitar shredding using every technical aspect and phrasing melodies harmonies it's incredible Paul. EPIC INSTRUMENTAL. I SAVED THE LINK. WOW.
Thank you Dave!
first time ive ever heard this guy. great stuff. awesome style, awesome riffs
That's brutal! Awesome music!
