The guest guitarist is Pliego Villarreal (no relation), bassist of the Mexican pop-rock band Kinky. He is playing a quinto, a Mexican 10-string bass (five strings doubled). Dany is playing a Fender Acoustasonic which can be either acoustic or electric.
Their greatest vocal achievement as a group... the harmonies from all three, honestly most shockingly so from Ale, are outstanding and challenging to pull off with the close 2nd intervals at times.... so beautiful. Guitars are cool. Vocals are AMAZING.
About the 10 string guitar. It's a bajo quinto, a Mexican folk instrument also known as a fifth bass or low five. "Almost 20 years ago, a young student at the National University of Mexico went in search of a very old instrument in the mountains of the southern state of Oaxaca. Today, he has become a leading force in the revival of the instrument called the bajo quinto and the music played on it. Ruben Luengas was working on a research project at the National School of Music in Mexico City in 1995. He wanted to focus on the music of his hometown, in the Mixtec region of Oaxaca, so he asked his 97-year-old grandmother to tell him about the music played at her wedding. "She tells me it was played on violin and bajo. That's what they played at the parties," he says. "I imagined an upright bass, then I thought an electric bass, so I asked her if she could describe the bajo to me. I had no idea what she was talking about." The bajo quinto looks like an oversized acoustic guitar, with five courses of doubled steel strings. It's played with a pick, with an emphasis on the bass strings. But Luengas did not know any of this. He went to his professor, Guillermo Contreras, who invited him to his studio and showed him a collection of more than 15 bajo quintos from the states of Puebla, Morelos and Guerrero - but none from Oaxaca. "He said to me, 'This is the bajo quinto.' I was speechless," says Luengas. "I became captivated by the instrument. So I asked my teacher, 'Where can I get one?' And my teacher says, 'You have to go find it and learn how to play it. It's part of your tradition.' And he gave me a whole lecture on it." Contreras, who's still a professor and researcher at Mexico's National School of Music, says the bajo quinto likely evolved from the Italian baroque guitar, called chitarra battente, brought to Mexico during the colonial period. "Chitarra battente is very similar to the bajo quinto because it has five courses of strings - 10 strings in total - and metal strings," says Contreras. "And the body is very similar - big body, large neck." He says in the mid- to late-1800s, a German music store had branches all over Mexico, including one in Oaxaca. He has also found evidence of instrument builders there: "In Oaxaca, there were two important centers for building musical instruments: Coicoyan, in the heart of the Mixteca, and Oaxaca City." It was that first town, Coicoyan de las Flores, that ethnomusicologist Luengas' grandmother had told him about. She - and just about everybody else - said it was a dangerous place, and advised him not to go. But one day he mustered the courage and took off to the tiny, hard-to-reach town, deep in the Mixtec mountains. Luengas says that when he arrived, he had the odd feeling he was going back in time. A colleague at the university had given him her grandfather's contact. By now, he felt that everything seemed prearranged. "My friend's grandfather told one of his workers to take me to the luthier's house. We went down a very deep ravine, then up a hill," Luengas says. "I knocked on a little wooden house, and out comes a man, about 80 years old. He speaks very little Spanish. I told him I was there to get a bajo quinto. He didn't say anything. He turned around and got a brand new instrument he just finished, for whoever needed it, and he said he was waiting for me. That day completely changed my life." Luengas is now one of the leading bajo quinto players in Oaxaca. He has formed several groups to showcase the instrument, including an eight-piece band, Pasatono Orquesta, modeled after the traditional Mixtec orchestras of the 1920s. Luengas says Don Telesforo, the luthier he met in Coicoyan, has died. Nobody there learned his secrets: his respect for the trees, the music and all the mysticism that goes with the craft of making the bajo quinto. "But the truth is, it's not dead," says Luengas. "I had the opportunity to learn from him. Now I'm reproducing his bajo quinto models, his singular style. And as long as I'm here, I'm not going to let it die." Luengas says he now has the responsibility to pass on the tradition, but first he needs to find apprentices interested in learning it." FROM NPR
Impressive song!! Pau's singing technique is excellent and she conveys a lot of emotions. Awesome! Great choirs by Dany and Ale! Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡
10 string bass used mostly in Mexican Country music called Nortenio music It's really a mid range between guitar and Bajo which is that really big bass you see them plucking.
Check out Tidal Rising, a documentary by the girls themselves. You'll realize how they started, how they create their music and what great personalities they have. They all play piano. Pau starts the creation of most of their songs. Lots of info...
if i remember correctly, the instrument being played by the guest musician, Pliego Villarreal (no relation), is a Mexican 10 string bass known as a quinto... edit: fixed spellings TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA
Dude, appreciate the guitar chat on the Acoustasonic Fender gave Dany and the like but this was a few bars at a time between stops while Pau was singing a fab vocal….. just saying. 🔥🤘#NumberlyGarfs
I consider this to be their best vocal piece as a band. This is perfect for Pau's voice, and Dany's and Ale's backing vocals are angelic. Dany is certainly a better rock vocalist, with a very flexible voice, but Pau is a formidable singer in her own right. Ballads such as this are her biggest strength, but she also sings Narcisista and other rockers very well.
Hey amigo, check out the studio Version of this song, sounds fantastic, not that it doesn’t here but is definitely a different experience hearing the studio version, 👍
Right away finishing seeing this reaction I went and heard the studio version, again…. Fantástica canción, son tremendas estas hermanas lindas. Here’s the link just in case you feel like hearing it. Nos vemos!! “The Revenant” ua-cam.com/video/bTzjJNgAlTk/v-deo.html
Well I gotta say, this is the first one of their songs where I didn't say, that it was better than the last one I heard. I don't think this will go in my playlist.
It's an enigmatic song. Something just out of view of the lyrics took place that is left for the interpretation of the listener. You should give it a listen.
These lyrics intrigate me. In my interpretation, the boy is the renevant. He did something that kill him and back as fantasm to understand what happened. Pau has the capacity to write history with open interpretation without lose the sense.
Given your interest in the musical instruments used in this live performance I assume you have heard Revenant earlier. They have quite a few ballads in their discography - mostly with Pau on her keyboards (Dany, Ale accompanying). Looks like you haven't dived into their rabbit hole yet. Suggest you dive in on your own. Seeing how busy you are I think its better that you don't react to Lunario in one session. The Warning stand out from the crowd through their intellectual lyrics. And Queen of the Murder Scene is definitely the album that needs to be reviewed with detail analysis of what the girls are saying & how they are saying it through profound metaphorical poetry in combination with intelligent musicianship.
I know it's just a style thing, but I found it hard to watch you *not*** watching the video and watching your chat. I didn't mind the asides about the instruments because it's interesting and has something to do with understanding what is happening on stage, but the whole 'react' thing when your attention is so split is offputting, for me. Again, I know lots of people are like this, but when the song is not 20 minutes long, how hard is it to actually watch it and then do all the aside stuff? Just putting this out there for an alternate perspective. So yes, I'm not your crowd, and I won't be back probably, but I thought you should know why.
This was actually a frustrating reaction to listen to. Not The Warning, but Walterooski ! As stated by many here, the Guest Guitarist is Pliego Villarreal, not related to the Villarreal sisters who is playing a Mexican made Quinto (10 string) specifically made for Conjunto or Ranchera Music, played mostly by Tejano and Northern Mexican Bands. Why frustrating? You focused mostly on the guitars and missed the beauty of the song, especially Pau's voice and the Angelic backup vocals by Ale and Dany. Ale showed her dynamic range covering the lows to the very highs in this song. Dany filled in with mids and lows. Stopping the video to comment on the guitar was frustrating, when you could have waited for the opportune time. Just an honest and sincere observation.

Pliego and quinto, not Pilegio and Qunito.
@@Dave_Marks thanks for the correction! :)
@@g.garcia7151 Correct, bajo quinto.

I concur. Not my favorite reaction by Walt. No mention of the beautiful harmonies.
@@randymarple9830 Agree. I think he shouldn't react to QOTMS live.
REVENANT uno de los temas mas emotivos de The Warning y Pau con su voz triste y desgarrada le da vida a este tema wow
I consider this to be their best vocal piece as a band. This is perfect for Pau's voice, and Dany's and Ale's backing vocals are angelic. Dany is certainly a better rock vocalist, with a very flexible voice, but Pau is a formidable singer in her own right.

Is a ten string bajo quinto

O sea no mames va medio video y tu sólo viendo cuantas cuerdas tienen las guitarras, y lo demás qué
o sea está el clímax del tema y riéndote y con la mirada y la mente dispersas por el comercial, pésimo bye
OK.. almost 3 min into this vid stopped like 5 or 6 times and all that's talked about is the guitars.. Boring. Moving on to someone else's reaction...
