This is the weirdest comment section. We all know how well he can play he’s just jamming an old tune for fun? a lot of you are way to focused on the odd mistake lol I’m impressed how cleanly he played it, considering the last time he did was probably over ten years ago!
Particularly impressive hearing songs off edge of the earth being played live. Empyreal is a damn hard song to play as it is. He does vocals on top of it too haha. Sands of Time has some interesting time changes as well so can imagine that being hard to do as well.
This video serves as a reminder that even the best of us fall short. "After Lifeless Years" became a cornerstone of inspiration for me when trying to craft guitar tone. When he told me that all it was is a 5150 with a 4x10 mesa cab running celestion v30s, that was when I understood what it means to have a tight mix. The first 3 seconds of this song when the guitars and bass drop was something I stayed obsessed with.
@@MichaelHolmgaard yep this one or the whole first proper album.... he wrote a more technical part cause he didnt sing.. I think its almost impossible to sing into this...
Josh is just an all round class guitarist. Terrific songwriter and epic frontman to one of metals finest bands, Sylosis. Keep rocking people of UA-cam! 🔥🤘🙌👊👍👏🎶🔥
For real, Dormant Heart will most likely be a top 10 metal album forever, in my heart. Perfect execution in every way, especially for a metal subgenre that really never moves me, which is the thrashier stuff. Sylosis is the best thrash style metal band in the world, don't care about mainstream opinions, they are the best.
@@ROFLBOB24 Agreed. Its brutal and heavy while also being extremely beautiful and melodic. Love everything about it. I honestly wish Josh wasnt in Architects so he could pour all his focus into Sylosis.
@@ROFLBOB24 Interesting I liked Dormant Heart but it is definitely their worst album for me. It is not a bad album! I just think that every other album is better. Especially Conclusion/Edge of the Earth. They are just absolutely badass with immense riffage.
Notice that that guy didn´t play in the street with friends he just spent his time untill today to do this but even so he made several technical mistakes.
@@peterhernandez168 YES! I didn't know his second name but rob was mos definitely their og drummer, also met him and the original bassist carl briefly at a gig a few years back
This is just my opinion, but since even legends like jeff loomis, steve vai, greg howe, and jimi hendrix can make mistakes. This taught me that anyone can attain the same skills. Although, everyone has their own specific proficiencies.
@@sc7244 ua-cam.com/video/gsqEo38NGnU/v-deo.html there you go. I’d say have fun but I know it’s going to be pure pain. Joe Bewick I’m subscribed to him.
@@AustinBrake98 yeah same with trem picking i guess. Forgive my ignorance as ive only been playing a few years and dont practise that often. I remember everyone goes on about hetfield downpicking all the time, and it made me think...
Who cares how the main band plays it? I change things all the time to suit my playing to be more economical. Don't change it just to be the same as the band. A big example is during dream theaters stream of consciousness. At 39 seconds, there is a riff where John stretches from the third to the 8th FRET! That is an insane stretch! So he plays 3rd fret on the A string and 8th fret on the D string. I play 3rd on A string and 3rd on the G string, muting the D string. It may not sound exactly the same since a G string has a different tone, but I would rather not ruin my fingers practicing that insane stretch when it sounds 99% the same hehe ;)
@@PuzzleDood you can probably work it out now from the video but the main changes are the intro and chorus... I almost think there’s two guitars here though playing a harmony because the two ways work. Also the intro can be played using normal minor arpeggios pattens....there’s a couple of other changes like lead up to the sweep picking...you can here the individual notes better in this video.
it is clear he has the technique, he just cant remember how some things go cause he probably doesn't play those songs like ever, so idk why you feel the need to leave a a negative comment unless you're insecure about your own ability lmao
What a retarded comment. He's obviously playing very casually yet still manages to sound clean. He probably rarely plays this nowadays. Do you think if he practiced a little he wouldn't nail it?
learning this right now... those fucking triplets are a fucking nightmare. ugh. im getting it tho... everything else, all the fast shit, no problem... the intro tho.. hahaha
@@CaioKoinaski yeah, i curl my fingers, play from the wrist with little tension but then little bursts of tension for the triplets. i can play it, after a million tries, but to get it nice and tight... i was hoping there was a secret lol. i'll keep playing :)
@@HaRDc0r3z You have to do a hard down stroke on the first note of the triplet. Use the momentum to do the remaining up, down. Takes a lot of practice to develop the endurance needed to pull it off.
Who could downvote this masterpiece?
My mother

i know he didn’t do vocals on this album but the fact that he shreds the way he does while doing incredible vocals is beyond amazing
Vocalist from this album sings for Viscera now.

One of the best songs he’s ever written imo
serpent tongue !!!
His funny faces trying to remember how to play the song lol
Especially at 0:38 :3
Love Josh! x)
1:25 i love it more,haha,he just like "well,that was not bad at all" ))
@@UnstopFooL 😂😂😂
especially 2:25 hahaha
Dude probably forgot.alot of his technical stuff playing the current Architects weak stuff
Conclusion is a masterpiece album
He plays this so effortlessly

I've had this masterpiece randomly pop into my head every once in a while despite having not listened to it for years, especially the intro riff.
Come on Josh this song is amazing just accept it and get it in the set 😂
totally get this guy,.. oh its you! lol
@@jamesbell5382 😂 thought you might see it!
I think it's too difficult to execute properly in live performances when Josh has to both sing and play lead guitar 🤔
@@MichaelHolmgaard yep this one or the whole first proper album.... he wrote a more technical part cause he didnt sing.. I think its almost impossible to sing into this...
Once upon a time, there was a demo floating around with his vocals on it. Can't find it anymore
Best of Sylosis! I wish Josh wrote more melodic songs like this
Everything about Josh is melodic
@@leech6336 not as much as the old songs
Unfortunately he has to play lead while doing vocals. Honestly, they need to get Jamie back. Jamie was the best vocalist this band ever had.
@@HybridSpektar He is in Viscera now a technical death band they are insane! Check out "Lamb to the slaughter" one of their best songs.
Josh is just an all round class guitarist. Terrific songwriter and epic frontman to one of metals finest bands, Sylosis. Keep rocking people of UA-cam! 🔥🤘🙌👊👍👏🎶🔥
This makes me feel good about my own crappy playing. Josh is an amazing guitarist. When I saw Sylosis he played flawlessly. This was fun to watch.
I enjoyed this video so much while watching :) He doesn't remember which is so normal beacuse it has been long time, but stil stunning performance :)
The End always gets me. Pausing for the pinch harmonic and then just quitting.
This consistency is next level, every note so crisp and clear
Honestly I’m most impressed by his right hand. Serious goddamn precision.
2:55 I like how he stopped for a bit then do a pinch harmonics hahaha
This is one of my favorite metal songs ever.
Such effortless playing goddamn
Dormant heart is the greatest metal album of all time Josh i need more Sylosis for my health🥲

@@8JFJK8 Even with that being said, Cycle of Suffering was also a great record! It wasn't a Dormant Heart, but it was still a great follow-up.
@@ROFLBOB24
Cycle of suffering = 2nd best metal record ever. Theres just something about Dormant Heart nothing can beat it for me.
@@ROFLBOB24 Interesting I liked Dormant Heart but it is definitely their worst album for me. It is not a bad album! I just think that every other album is better. Especially Conclusion/Edge of the Earth. They are just absolutely badass with immense riffage.
so freakin clean man....
Wow brother!🔥🔥🔥🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾This is so refreshing 🎸🎸🎸Let’s not forget about the metal!!!
Everything Josh writes is absolute gold! Thanks for posting man
1:25 be like "well i wrote that it's very good"
Melhor banda da história
Pode crê irmão, Sylosis sempre ❤️
Sempre bom achar outros BRs apreciando músicas assim hehehe
Hell yea, such a sick song
Amazing 🔥
Still a beast, sick riffs dude. cheers
the "guy plays song without actually learning" type of video xD
You guys think he might be holding his head a certain way because the hat. This guy can headband and play this stuff from his soul.
That was still Sick
C'mon Josh, re-recorded COAA album with your vocal.
No. Get Jamie back. He made that album what it was. Sylosis is nothing without Jamie
@@HybridSpektar disagree Josh's vocals are superior
No one has mentioned the cute lil mini rectifier on the table chillin
Best guitar cover
When you make alternate picking sound like downpicking @1:34 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
hell yea
He needs the little fan in the back to cool this guitar cause it's about to get in fire!!
Notice that that guy didn´t play in the street with friends he just spent his time untill today to do this but even so he made several technical mistakes.
Aww we miss Jamie Graham as well buddy
right?
He was at their last gig in london,
Told him it was great to see him there,still supporting
@@MetalFreak187 was Rob Callard there as well? (Original drummer)
@@peterhernandez168 YES! I didn't know his second name but rob was mos definitely their og drummer, also met him and the original bassist carl briefly at a gig a few years back
@@MetalFreak187 thats bad ass man! Lucky you, im a little jealous lol
😮
Огонь!
Bruhh that tone is fucking SPOT ON. I’d love to know what amp/settings he’s using.
He’s got his own Tune settings for sale on STL Tonehub
Why that first lead riff is so damn hard :/ It sounds so good that I want to play it
OH FUCK YES
🤩😍
What amp and cabinet?? Mesa Boogie and Marshall?
111!!!
Sounds like a riff from forbidden
Bleed
dude is a god this is so hard to fucking play nevermind create

The best song they ever did. I will fight anyone who disagrees
Anyone know if there’s an accurate tab out there for this tune? Cheers
Songster is probably your best bet
There is one now if you’re interested.
@@Guitarist19887 Where can I find it brotha? Cheers
@@sc7244 ua-cam.com/video/gsqEo38NGnU/v-deo.html there you go.
I’d say have fun but I know it’s going to be pure pain.
Joe Bewick I’m subscribed to him.
The are official ones on the band website
Josh:
fuck it! If you want to hear the ending, listen to the original song.
2:33 bro im sitting alone in a discord and this fucked me up so hard xD
Hahahahahahaah
he reminds me of LeanBeefPatty
Decent cover...if he practises hard enough. He can actually play guitars for Sylosis
where did you get this?..does he stream or something?
Twitch
Tutorial?
Even with his mistakes... exponentially better than me :/ lmao
Very impressive for not remembering the song it looks like
humble thrash
Is that all down picking on the gallops?
Nope. You can't do all downpicking for gallops. Either down, down, up or up, down, down.
@@AustinBrake98 yeah same with trem picking i guess. Forgive my ignorance as ive only been playing a few years and dont practise that often. I remember everyone goes on about hetfield downpicking all the time, and it made me think...
Few things to change ffs... wish they'd just tab it lol I actually the think the way I've been playing it is more economical lol
How have you been playing it? I’m struggling to find how lol

@@metaldan8499 yeah found my own way to play it, sound alright to me at least lol
get well soon josh!, #fuckcancer
XD Why does he look like he hates it?
why would you even go like ... fuck it ?
He messed up like……3 whole notes…. What a loser….. (said no one ever) 😆👍
Top 10 best metal albums ever!!
you should join architect..
Play at 0.75x and it just sounds like Metallica 😂🤦
Omg 😂
Well Sylosis did get some of it’s influence from Bay Area Metal, so that’s probably why
Miles better than any rubbish that architects ever managed to produce
Probably could’ve kept that to yourself
@@MrGDJ95 aye but that’s that. They’re the only band I ever fell asleep watching. It’s the vocals that kills it for me .
@@erinrhuncymru1982 their stuff is far from rubbish, whether you like it or not
Holy Hell was their last good album
Metallica
Probably a great influence, yeah.
Looks bored and uninterested in playing this. Lol
so good cant play his own songs
the truth is that sylosis never play this song live, so i believe maybe he practiced a couple of times before recording this.
peace
stfu lol. imagine you make a song over a decade ago and don't practise it.
it is clear he has the technique, he just cant remember how some things go cause he probably doesn't play those songs like ever, so idk why you feel the need to leave a a negative comment unless you're insecure about your own ability lmao

I take a long long time to learned these hahahaha
@@CaioKoinaski dude... what is the secret? metronome or what? all sylosis songs have these insane triplets... way harder than other bands do.
@@HaRDc0r3z theres no secret, just repetition and training. After a certain time, just became an automatic and inscosncient movement
@@CaioKoinaski yeah, i curl my fingers, play from the wrist with little tension but then little bursts of tension for the triplets. i can play it, after a million tries, but to get it nice and tight... i was hoping there was a secret lol. i'll keep playing :)
@@HaRDc0r3z You have to do a hard down stroke on the first note of the triplet. Use the momentum to do the remaining up, down. Takes a lot of practice to develop the endurance needed to pull it off.
no, not really.
