For anyone who is looking for similar songs here you go: Time 2 - Ewan Dobson Rain - Rob Scallon Big sur moon - Buckethead Echo song - Paul Gilbert Yngwie malmsteen - echo etude
From 2:24 to the end, this is probably the most beautiful metal chords progression I've ever heard. So intense and pure at the same time. You nailed it bro.
My guitar teacher always told me ,,stop resting your strokeside elbow on the damn guitar, by doing this you'll never get at least mediocre"... I tried for 5years, lost my all my hope to ever get better and quit. Saw you doing the same and play so smooth gave me confidence to get over it and enjoy playing again after a break of 3yrs. I just want to say thank you for your awesome content, you brought back my passion for making music! 🍀
get a new guitar teacher. if you went to him for 5 years and he made you give up cuz you were resting your elbow on the guitar then that's a crummy teacher
I kept waiting for him to troll me and he didn't. I actually had to watch it twice because the first time I was hesitating to get too into it in anticipation of his trolling, which... wait, was that the troll? That I can't trust something beautiful anymore? Is this my life now? I'm so confused.
Miles Corporosus last time I remember him doing this was The Sound of Silence cover and it was April Fools’ so maybe the troll this time was also that he posted it one month later and not on April Fools’!
I've grown to really love and respect kmac. Initially saw him as a troll channel that was good at guitar. Now I see him as a musical legend that is funny as hell without having to force his comedy.
This sounds exactly like the song that one guy was trying to play when he hit a wrong note and it followed him forever because of the delay. Look it up it's pretty funny.
There’s a difference between being a good guitarist and being musical. This dude knows how to through some chords together! More original content please! That was sick!
@@Cobalt985 It is obviously heavily influenced by it, the start is near the same. He's taken it and made it it's own thing but you can't deny that there's a huge resemblance to it lmao
Most channels are going from creative stuff to trying too hard to be funny. You my friend, started funny, still funny, and also show your creativity. That's what I love about you
@@theoddestautist I usually discourage that. Our ears are more important than any instrument we play, they must be well trained. No matter how hard I need to try, I always try learning songs by ear. Eventually, you'll get used to it and you'll notice a huge improvement in your listening.
@@_lucas.antunes_ yeah but you can start getting it by ear after you play it for a while, doesnt hurt learning songs from tabs, specially for beginners
with you Kmack, it is like with ElectroBOOM, you get a "jump scare" when everything is normal and nothing happens! (i swear, this guy would just grab a bottle of juice from the fridge and chances are it will spark and blow up!)
@@D2ezbmu I slowed down the video so I could pick out specific notes that were played on each string, then scaled back from the fret being played to get the tuning for that string. I did it with a couple notes for each string (where an open note wasn't played) to double-check I'd got it right.
We've come so far to appreciate this man for the meme god that he is, that I almost took for granted how talented of a guitar player, and mixer he actually is.
Hi Kmac. I've been watching your videos for a while. Aside from the memes and all, you're a great musician. Love the wide genre creativity. Keep up with the good work.
Came to your channel from Herman Li for some more laughs. You delivered and then blew my mind with this. Unbelievable talent. I'm subbed. Never stop doing this unless it's bad for your health. I love it all. Take care
If you listen to both and then listen to this, you'll know it's Big Sur Moon... The songs are only slightly similar. And in the description of this video... "Big Sur Meme".
It took him one year and two months for him to try again after the delay finally faded away
I'll never see eating a taco the same way
Yup. That’s my old man!!
That’s the power of delay
the pain never truly leaves you
Is it weird to think that I actually kinda liked that, "wonky," note because I thought it was a neat chromaticism going to another chord? XD
Kmac in a nutshell:
- consider yourself a meme,
- produce really good music
what about filtyfrank (?)

i had a whole transition around it and back to Bb in my head too ;-;

It was me playing the piano.. the whole time...
I don't know why, but I read this comment in John Oliver's voice
It took him a year to get over his mistake and finish the whole song
took that long for the delay to stop
I forget sometimes hes actually a legit guitarist
Takes more than guitars to make this. Dude has full on musical talent on display and I'm absolutely HERE for it.

Reminds me a lot of the album “Everything That Is You” by Thrailkill
Reminds me a lot of what goes in many Foo Fighters songs
Sounds similar to Pantera’s „Floods”, these chord progressions just resonate so beautiful
are there any songs that sound similar to that section? (that isnt foo fighters cuz ive heard those already)
yeeeeee

@DeliverersBestFriend what’s wrong with you?
"How it feels to not make a mistake while using a delay pedal"
Single coil pickup
Everything about this song makes me think "headless guitar"
Reminds me of why I need one, that tone!!!
Be like, DECAPITATED, xD
Why does this make sense
working the shaft
Do you think it might have something to do with the headless guitar in this video? :)
it has so much delay that the song is actually giving 2002-2006 vibes
Reminds me of Ghost Singing in the Basement by Armour for Sleep
Ikr? Reminds me of Chaoz Fantasy by ParagonX
@@trixy8669 You gave me a mini aneurysm as a hardcore AFS fan, I was like ..... Wait, what is the song actually called? (Basement Ghost Singing) xD
@@SuperPaopao04 Same!!! NG old people unite
It was actually recorded in 1993, but the delay effect was so powerful it took until now to be heard

Kmac is now haunted by all of the notes he messed up during the recording of this. This was take 23. Respect his sacrifice.

This is actually a massive CHOOON, dude you are a triple threat: meme, sing and make sick bangers
In which KMac reminds everyone that behind the Scottish Memelord persona he’s actually a remarkably talented guitarist

the fact he can make an absolutely beautiful CLEAN song strangely surprises me

This is the most accurate description of this song I have come across.
....Claus?
The real question is WHERE IS YOUR GREEN GUITAR? I thought you said ALWAYS use a GREEN GUITAR!
He IS using it
THE GREN GUETAH?
Might not be in the right tuning for this song, pretty sure he said its in drop F.
Do you remember that he said green guitar can be everything you want?, here it is
Bro this video is serious. No jokes here.

Kmac rarely uploads, but when he does *it's fking gold*
Born too late to explore the Earth, born too early to explore the universe, but born just in time to listen to Kmac's full "Delay" song
As a teenager, this song speaks so much for itself. The raw emotions resonating. Kmac, you are an amazing guitarist, pls make an album like this.
Hey, it's cool and all, but can anyone tell me which contortionists song is this?🤔
could also be applied to Plini and maybe AAL if lucky lol
Dastorm by Sandrude
Getting Language maybe?
Hahaha 😂 I was think it sounded very Contortionist inspired too
The start seems to be similar to language: intuition
our saviour is back, kmac's the reason I'm proud to be scottish
Scott Reynolds Even your name is Scott. That’s true dedication!
*"kmac's the reason I'm proud to be scottish"* I had no idea there was one....

Rob Scallon? TheDooo?
Nah, it's just Kmac. Even better.
They're all really amazing
Kmac wins hands down but the dooo is pre cool. Gotta get a collab with them more than just the shred thing

0:46 favorite part.

The whole thing sounds a bit like Plini, to be honest. Still good stuff.
Yup! Totally got Plini vibes from this too!
Reminded me of Language 1: intuition by "The Contortionist" though I can hear what you're saying.
I think it's Darude - Sandstorm
he even got the Sithu Aye lick in there
"Okay so we need a cool dotted 8th note delay intro"
*Listens to Buckethead once*
"Oh shit I need a lead guitar line too"
*Listens to Polyphia once*
true polyphia vibes
And Animals as Leaders
Still some pretty deep, natural, beautiful harmonies

Also really reminds me of Language 1 by The Contortionist in a way
