    Hard to imagine this is 10 years old at this point... Its such an incredible arrangement. I always come back to this as one of my favorite solos of all time.

      I know. One of the best guitar instrumentals ever written. Drum and bass is good too ;)

    Between the 3 albums, I have logged in over 700 miles running. Best music to throw in your ipod and trek the world.

    Best composition of metal. PERIOD.

  • @matthewmartinez3596
    @matthewmartinez3596 9 років тому +13

    I always imagined that the intro was the car ride to the ocean, the lead up to the solo was driving alongside the ocean (on PCH here in CA), the first solo made me imagine sailing on choppy waters, Chris' solo meant diving into the water and the harmonics part made me picture myself underwater, stumbling across a family of whales slowly swimming by.

  • @scalethesummit
    @scalethesummit  11 років тому +3

    hopefully someday. i tried to get him to write an entire song for the new album, but I finished the album so fast he dedicated all his practice time to learning the material. our newest album is our most challenging to date, its pretty nuts! so we're both practicing our butts off! we enter the studio Jan 2! -chris

    It's not even easy to play such clean, precise, strong melody, even at a slow tempo. Bends gotta be right and accurate, and that's something to work out.

    i bought yalls tab book for the collective and before this year i never did solos or the ones i played were very bad. i learned my blues boxes and learned some of your solos and now i can solo very well! ive taken a lot of technique from your solos such as the quick hammer on and pulloff scale run things.(like 6 notes at a time)
