That smirk when you nailed that solo line though

[@TheZack8088]

Guitarists when another instrument has the limelight for .001 seconds

[@willtheway9691]

Yeah the fact that it sucks ass too is so true

[@josegimenez892]

cut us some slack, guitar music is not mainstream anymore

[@UnchosenMr]

yeah exactly ! because music is about instruments, not actual music !!!

[@Majmune123]

@@UnchosenMr Its also about the sounds and guitar just hasnt found its place yet,... Imagine if thundercat played the guitar instead of the bass, this song would be more prog rock/jazz fusion than anything else, so yeah instruments or sound has a loooottt to do with the "actual music"

[@UnchosenMr]

@@Majmune123 my comment was about saying it doesn't matter. I don't care.

[@pasongara4891]

I've noticed in the final 8 measures when the melody goes up an octave, on the 4th measure you "stretched" the final F# instead of the staccatoes that is "How Sway"...
Well done! I heard that.

[@johnuelhasney_wandergaze]

[@PlayBetterJazz]

Hell yeah man! with the synth solo and everything, well done.

[@Superkrunktone]

So sick, thanks for putting the tabs :)

[@hakonericson6279]

Omg! This is so good!

[@guywhocommentsoneverything]

Are there any practices i can do to get better at these kinds of riffs? especially the beginning arpeggios, i just cant get up to speed and am having trouble picking and finger positioning

[@ignacio5979]

just play it slow, really slow. If it is too much for you just go 0,5x, it will be slow learning but it is the best way

[@Salmonoff]

get used to crossing strings both your left and right hands by practicing and playing scales and arpeggios. play slow at first and slowly increase the tempo, but every once in a while reach for a speed that you cant play well, and work on neatening it up as much as you can. after that go back to slowly increasing the tempo and repeat the process. there needs to be a "break in the continuum" as Shawn Lane put it every now and then, or you reach technical plateaus that can be very hard to overcome.

[@spookybaba]

That's an actual song? Sounds like a warm up exercise for advanced guitarists.
You certainly can play that thing 😉

[@cooldud6163]

It was originally for the bass guitar(it sounds way better)

[@KetamineBoi-wb7yh]

Thundercat is no joke, it sounds better on a 6 string bass imo, as that was the original way and it’s more fitting in the context of the song

[@bluem1lk515]

Bruh this shit is so fire bro 🔥🔥🔥
