This guy is like the Highlander of guitarists. He's gone around absorbing the essence of the great players of the last 100 years. No other way he can be this powerful. In the end, there can be only one.
You are my "John Petrucci" man, everything you make is an end goal for me. Massive inspiration man, awesome track and always happy to see you dropping new music. Much love!
@@shellderp Steven deserves as much praise and respect as any of the greatest players ever. He technically/compositionally shits on nearly every one of them despite not having released much music at all yet, lol. Goat. I'd say the same for B_a_x_t_y to a lesser degree, although Steven did "it" first.
Ever since I discovered this guy in 2019, I’ve been such a huge fan. Something about his writing is just so unique and inspiring. I just have no words really… Absolutely stunning work
They say reach for the stars and even if you fall, you land on a mountain. Stephen is my star. Incredible composition and that right hand. Perfect technique so relaxed!
You had me with the first four chords. Hot DAYUM. Edit: the rest of the song..I...oh my god. I'm so mesmerized. Never heard of this dude, but he is instantly my new favorite guitarist. 🤘🔥
What a legend 👏 Man the dynamical attenuation of your muted notes on the fast run in the middle gives every grown man with a pick pothole in their thumb nightmares for the rest of the decade 🔥🎸
Stephen I love your compositions. Playing aside your whole technique which is freakin incredible 🤘🏼 Your music is emotional and real a fantastic sonic adventure👍🏻
love the monuments-y stringskipping starting at 2:06, good shit. Were they any kinda inspiration for this song? Really fond of the balance between more calm, and the shred in this one btw.
Amazing, thanks for sharing! I just love how it goes from some smooth prog fusion chords to the dumbest blastbeat (in a good way). And your shredding skill man, outstanding.

I'm a simple man, I see new Stephen content and I click like
Gooooood morning!

My sentiments exactly. I grew up idolizing Petrucci and lately its been this dude.
this is how you give a guy an ego problem lol
@@shellderp And despite that, he's still humble as all hell. Looks like he learned more than just technique from Petrucci too ; )

He's very arguably the greatest technical player in the world so far and his note choices are pretty insane too.

Defintely getting a monuments/fallujah vibe from this song .
Amazing, thanks for sharing! I just love how it goes from some smooth prog fusion chords to the dumbest blastbeat (in a good way). And your shredding skill man, outstanding.
