    "Yeah, so to do a heart transplant and simultaneously pilot the Space Shuttle, you just kind of do this thing here, and then sort of change these things here like this, and then this just happens right here, and then you're done!" Love this guy.

    He actually uses this tapping lick in "Isolated Incidents" off of AAL's brand new album "Weightless". It's also followed by one of the best breakdown-type things i have ever heard. What an amazing band.

      You don't have to count it necessarily ,only if you are playing it slowly .After practising that you basically get more of a feel for the rythm .I hope I didn't ruin the joke .

    @notabear1 Alot of youtube guitarists don't do that because some have never really taken in depth theory classes. I mean you can take Music Theory 1 and learn Augmented chords. Major and Minor 3rds The circle of fifths, pretty much the bassis of it all. This guy went the the Atlanta Institute of Music for four years and became a master...
    Anyone can know what Tosin knows... ANYONE, it's just applying the way he does, thats absolutely mind blowing.

    same. he approaches (on weightlessness) guitar in such a rhythmic, percussive manner. to me it feels like bass. i've been playing guitar for like 8 years and ever since i started to TRY to emulate his technique, i've found myself trying to play more of bass state of mind sometimes even drums (not a kit)
