Context: First off, open E (-80 cents here, I forgot why). I wanted to share a riff I wrote and love to play and the title was a last second thought. I started teaching myself guitar this way almost 10 years ago and it's been extremely fun exploring this sort of guitar "mirror world" and what's possible with it. But if you like this sound and style of playing and want to listen to it more right now, check out Invalids (Pete Davis), Good Game (Blair Benzel), and Floral (Nate Sherman), they're all big influences on my guitar sound/style. edit: I'm enjoying the divisive comments on this. I think I'm doing something right when I'm simultaneously getting "this is the best thing ever" and "this is disgusting/useless/the death of the instrument". The only logical option is to resume playing exactly how I want to play regardless of praise or criticism.
These names are new for me. I grew up on Tera Melos, Achleuchatistas, Maps and Atlases, Giraffes? Giraffes!, Hella, Future 1983, Lite, Stage Kids, Actarus, 90 Day Men, Dilute, Ulan Bator etc. etc. Perhaps different eras of one genre :) It looks you are doing very well, best wishes and have fun!
@@kurisuchiinathecrocodile333 Invalids is very inspired by Tera Melos! Cloutchaser is another band that's absolutely electric and they're very Hella inspired. I gotta check out some of these other bands, thanks for sharing!
We try to stop it... but once you get a feel for royal road progression, tapping, and rasgueado bullshit it's inevitable everytime I pick up a guitar. I stay down in my corner because I like it in my corner; i am happy where the weeaboos play
I mean it kinda is true, but naah. I'm 18 years old, been playing guitar kinda consistently for 2 and a half-ish years and I play varied stuff, mainly thrash metal, rock, etc. Personally I'm not a big fan of most new stuff, specially flashy tapping or arpeggios
@@AlernandExtra Tapping arpeggios can actually sound awesome. Heroes of sand by angra uses that technique in a way that's pleasant and not flashy. Another example is day at the beach by Satriani
thank you for this bc I didn't know him and I was very excited to see someone play guitar with the same overhand barring technique, I gotta learn Drifting now. Check out Passionflower by Jon Gomm for another sick acoustic player that does some overhand stuff.
This double-overhand technique is the only way Nick Reinhart can play the super fast breakdown in “Purple and Stripes” and it bothers him because all the covers he’s seen of that song (including mine on my Instagram a long time ago, he reposted it to his story!!) we play it with normal technique. And he wishes he could do the same.
Strandberg Salen. I wanted one for years and kept refreshing reverb, sweetwater, guitar center, and ebay pages for months until I snagged this one at a great price, no regrets.
for thous who think its difficult : its not (as a guitarist) , once you mute the video and watch the fingers only , youll see how slow that is. its like rappers when they say letters like P-L-F. the slides are the stuff the makes it sounds so fast thanks to the frets transitioning a note very fast.
yep, you can get a very creative string of notes by combining strums, plucks, taps, slides, hammer ons, pull offs, and more, it's why I love exploring this style so much
@@TylerLeeJones Pfft, of course this generation grew up with just toys instead of real instruments. *My* first instrument was a *Rock Band* controller.
@@TylerLeeJones I imagine raising the action could affect the tuning too much 🤔 But the effect you're achieving is already there, you're reproducing the slide sound an entirely different way, it's awesome. What I like about what you're doing is that it can apply to various styles, super cool.
Thank you. I have no desire for fame. The ability to create is a gift and the best gift I could give is to keep creating purely for myself, sharing it in the hopes that it inspires others to do the same.
me too! Ever since playing Guitar Hero II and discovering YYZ by Rush, it activated a lot of neurons that haven't stopped firing in my brain for almost 2 decades after. I couldn't stop mathing if I tried
SAMe, im still here lenring the ways of SRV, trying to get a dumble sound on helix native. SLow blues bores me, but the SRV shuffle gets me swinging. I gotta learn how to play it.
Yep 😂 that's what everyone does detuned tapping , Ritchie Blackmore actually said about this in a recent interview that what Tim Henson does is actually nothing new 😮 as in the 1960s the guitarist of A band called Canned Heat did tapping infront of him Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix at a gig and people started walking out 😂 like the part in BTTF where Marty does Van Halen they weren't ready for it 😂
A lot of wise cracks on here but this is really cool. I think if you played it slower it might hit better as a piece of music rather than an interesting display of guitar playing.

Step 1: set your action as low as possible
Step 2: open tuning
Step 3: tap fretbord
Step 4: now ur ichi
Step 3.5: Practice a few thousand hours
Don't forget a distasteful amount of compression.
@@JudgeSteveTallTree that's more polyphia though, ichika doesn't use an unholy amount of compression
Banjo players when they become guitar players.
I did own a banjo before an electric guitar...
@@TylerLeeJones Explains a lot. You needed a challenge.
Yeah every guitar gonna sound like an anime opening
I wouldn't have anything over it 🙏
that's a good thing
We try to stop it... but once you get a feel for royal road progression, tapping, and rasgueado bullshit it's inevitable everytime I pick up a guitar.
I stay down in my corner because I like it in my corner; i am happy where the weeaboos play
I thought i was the only one who said this
And look alike
Takes an extreme amount of skill to make sounds so silly
one can only describe such sensations of sound with phonetic abbreviations such as 'weedley woo', the guitar going 'diddley dooweeoowah widdldee'
That sounds more like the start of a godlike jam to me.
This is so accurate, soon they wont remember what a pick or a bend is
I don't even own a pick anymore
Bend? Take this boomer shit out of here!
They won't remember what a headstock is lol

sounds siick! The only thing you forgot is to first look into the camera before playing looking all pouty and smug like "I'm about to amaze you"
it should be apparent the person in this video doesn't like making eye contact
@TylerLeeJones haha very true
midwest emo anime intro
2025s guitarist is a pianist
This gives me fearofdark vibes for some reason
the sonic adventure 2 sticker goes so hard and so does this riff
easiest math rock song
i love this riff so much i added this vid to my favorites (i havent done that in years)
This is definitely one of the guitarist of all time
Daijiro Nakagawa in 2013
As a guitarist myself I approve this
Sounds like an old banjo now.
So guitarists of 2024 are Andy McKee from 2007
thank you for this bc I didn't know him and I was very excited to see someone play guitar with the same overhand barring technique, I gotta learn Drifting now. Check out Passionflower by Jon Gomm for another sick acoustic player that does some overhand stuff.
Nokia3310ringtonecore it strong these days..
Call me old fashioned but, while I understand playing like this is challenging, I like good old blues rock.
I like good old blues rock too :)
good god it's hyper steel guitar!!!
Andy Mckee style
Great tone and playing!

I hate guitarists in 2025
dude when you strum it sounds like a gosh darn dang piano
Yes. Excellent. It sounds like short snippets played out of order. Evolution!
so jyocho coded
I couldn't ever play anything like this, and I don't like jelly-factory rock, but that's kinda fun.
i need that guitar
Strandberg Salen. I wanted one for years and kept refreshing reverb, sweetwater, guitar center, and ebay pages for months until I snagged this one at a great price, no regrets.
Omg yess, and your so good btw
for thous who think its difficult :

people who play guitar LOVE going into a comment sections and being like "yeah so this is actually easy to do"
That's it. Two hands, slaps, weird tunning, no feeling
100% boring
How dare you, I would never slap my child
@TylerLeeJones I'm so sorry 😐
Legit nice listening too, wish it was longer.
Close enough, welcome back Herman Li.
my first instrument was a Guitar Hero controller
@@TylerLeeJones Pfft, of course this generation grew up with just toys instead of real instruments. *My* first instrument was a *Rock Band* controller.
sick! love the strandy
dude there are so many crazy good players today
I see that Nektar LX88 in the background
I'm just gonna bend ONE note on that, hold it. Pull a rizzler face and play around with the feedback for 31 seconds... ;)
what does this mean
Still my favourite riff of the ever.
what is it?
@@AnryGuiltar guitarists in 2025
INSTANT subscribe :) such a pleasure to listen to
You know a midwest emo song boutta have the worst singing possible with the most personal lyrics if they pull this out
I wonder if anyone is using this technique in country. It has a bit of a pedal steel quality to it. Very enjoyable, well done 👍
it's the same tuning as pedal steel yes! I probably need a different guitar to try using a slide, this action is set as low as possible
@@TylerLeeJones I imagine raising the action could affect the tuning too much 🤔 But the effect you're achieving is already there, you're reproducing the slide sound an entirely different way, it's awesome. What I like about what you're doing is that it can apply to various styles, super cool.
@MicahScottPnD Thanks! I gotta check out more pedal steel stuff to see what techniques I could apply to my playing
You'll be famous Man,One Day,not so far💪
Thank you. I have no desire for fame. The ability to create is a gift and the best gift I could give is to keep creating purely for myself, sharing it in the hopes that it inspires others to do the same.
@TylerLeeJones never stop doing like that! That's the secret
crazy good tho🔥
I love math rock since ~2007. Keep it alive!
me too! Ever since playing Guitar Hero II and discovering YYZ by Rush, it activated a lot of neurons that haven't stopped firing in my brain for almost 2 decades after. I couldn't stop mathing if I tried
This is spot on.
Yeah but I can’t play good, squire!
guitarists in 2023*
Just playing piano 😂
jesus...
invalids have entered the chat
honestly just make an electric dulcimer at this point
First algo pull of 2025.
yooo shoutout invalids eunoia was the record that got me into math rock
I posted a bunch of videos I took when seeing them play the whole album live in July! sorry there's a lot of my screaming over it
Stanley Jordan in 1985
nice sonic adventure 2 sticker! oh and the songs also amazing too lol
all see online is guitar is dead. i mean, yeah bc the majors are so money hungry they wont get guitarists like this in the goddamn studio
pursuing music for money feels empty, I tune pianos for work
I could never hope to play anything like this. Thank fuck! 😂
Basically jyocho from a few years back
i am speechless
not me dude. i'm still tryna get that srv signatuer lick down. i dont even like the guy but you gotta what you gotta do
SAMe, im still here lenring the ways of SRV, trying to get a dumble sound on helix native. SLow blues bores me, but the SRV shuffle gets me swinging. I gotta learn how to play it.
only 725 views? deserves more lovin' man, keep it up!
Can't wait till these guys discover lapsteel Guitars.
Especially like the triple ones with fold out Legs 😮
What's next piano?
i rly like the sus chord in bar 4 i stan sus chords
From singing on ebb tide with Tim waurick to this, fuck yea dude
the guitar probably had a cigar after that
Can I sample this?
Yep 😂 that's what everyone does detuned tapping , Ritchie Blackmore actually said about this in a recent interview that what Tim Henson does is actually nothing new 😮 as in the 1960s the guitarist of A band called Canned Heat did tapping infront of him Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix at a gig and people started walking out 😂 like the part in BTTF where Marty does Van Halen they weren't ready for it 😂
what tunning is this in? its sound hella nice!
Jokes aside, this kicks ass!
that guitar has amazing toan 👍
That’s actually really impressive
That was actually kinda fire ngl
How did you know I bought a Nektar T6?!?!?
Leaving my mark on this great vid
This reminds me of 8films by uchu conbini.
a few people have told me my playing reminds them of Daijiro's playing and after getting to know his work that's a huge compliment
What tuning is this in!!
normally open E but I think this is open Eb +20 cents
Glad your still posing man
Bruh you’re so real for this💀
I know it's his guitar and he can do whatever he wants with it but putting stickers on a strandberg feels illegal to me XD
the Sonic stickers help me play faster
Not bad
what's the tuning? this was sublime
open E (EBEG#BE) but -80 cents in this recording I think
Dude, that is amazing, but not very musically clear.
Slow it down 5% and make it shine.
in the full song it's actually 200 bpm with even worse time signatures, clarity is irrelevant (but the same riff appears slower in another song)
turn it into a real song!!!
Great, now my guitar is crying again😒
But can you play smoke on the water? 🤔
not properly bc I don't own a pick
real math rock
I miss metal core and technical death metal :( so sick of all metal being chon clones
I prescribe mathcore like Callous Daoboys and cybergrind like thotcrime
😡I came here to laugh, not be enchanted by otherworldly melodies!
riddly diddly diddly doo, riddly diddly diddly doo
Why don’t these people just play piano? 😂
I do sometimes
no whammy bar
Nice!
Holy shit dude
Make this into a official song or im stealing it (I can't play 1 note on guitar)
I'm making an album and this riff appears several times in it 👍
RELEASE THAT SHIT NOW THIS IS AN ORDER
Motherfuckers post the best riffs known to man on UA-cam and don't release their shit on Bandcamp or Spotify wtffffffffffff
working on it
basically became a useless instrument if u have nothing to say
who's to say what it is to say something?
Perfect
Should probably just play a piano 😂
This nonsense all sounds the same. Keep your right hand off the fretboard.
ok
A lot of wise cracks on here but this is really cool. I think if you played it slower it might hit better as a piece of music rather than an interesting display of guitar playing.
the full song has it in multiple speeds!
@@TylerLeeJones well that's gonna fuck with my head too. We simpletons like music too, you know
