@@SSVplus No, I'm familiar with bassists, but more specifically I remember getting stuck on Tosin and Matt perfectly syncing into that nutty groove and hitting those notes in unison.
@@Pauly421 He's been playing since he was in elementary school, he actively and consistently tried to improve, pursued a music career seriously, and spent time in music school to improve further. A combination of working hard and working smart got him where he is, but it took decades of persistence.
Remembering the first time I heard this song in the Ibanez video promotion for his signature guitar. It was in 2014 and AAL never left me since. As a guitarist teenager, i realised that every thing is possible and practicing is the key.
@@holliswilliams8426 it’s not really “slapping”. It’s a technique he picked up from Victor Wooten originally used on bass called double thumb. IMO the basics of it is not that hard, but mastering it and implementing it like Tosin does is another story
@@D3athChick3n acktshually, he learned It from his bassist bandmate who learned it from victor wooten, if you’re gonna correct someone, get it right dumbass
@@douganderson7002 Ironic you say that when recording it means you not only have the ability to watch it later, but it also means you're watching and listening through the recording device's viewfinder.
He and his bandmates have been, are and always WILL BE magnificent legends! Too much talent for such few people. And all they want in return for their gift is a simple 3:43
every wooten brother that plays a string instrument, evan brewer and him are the same breed. Its awesome how that is style is so unique you can just hear it.
I'm pretty sure Seymour Duncan no longer sponsors Tosin, so they removed his stuff from their channel. It's a shame; the audio quality was pretty good.
not Tosin related but some videos of Nick Johnston demoing Seymour Duncan pedals such as the vise grip were also removed. I used to love watching those demos
Seymour Duncan removed the originals because they got salty that he left them for Fishman. Tosin was in the process of making signature Seymour Duncan pickups, (he's using the prototypes here) but when he tried out Fishman's he switched over. SD decided to just take em off their channel since he was no longer an SD artist.
People have been using the word salty to mean angry consistently for a hundred years. It's not hipster, it's plain English. Hipster would be like a 20-year-old using words from the 1980s.
I have been listening to the music from very early times, I can not Say My preferencia are Bad, not when everything I love into the field of music is conteined from diverse styles, and everything counts, it is My personal opinión, but Tossin Abasi from Animal as Leaders is a good example music here is another level.
They removed the originals because he is no longer a Seymour Duncan artist. He moved to Fishman and now uses his own signature Fishman fluence pickups.
I've never believed in reincarnation, but...Hendrix just may have come back and supplemented his craft - BIG TIME. All kidding aside, though, this dude has mastered some amazing rhythmic ideas, outside of the box which I endorse and LOVE.
Good thing dude in back filmed his ass half the damn time instead of paying attention to Tosin in the flesh doing a GD clinic. Surely it was award winning what he captured lol smh
You gotta admit, this guy is on a completely different level.
Bruh, I still remember going absolutely mental when I heard those thumping parts for the first time.
he's a whole guitarist and bassist at the same time lol
@@atlys258 Never listened bass guitarists before?
@@SSVplus No, I'm familiar with bassists, but more specifically I remember getting stuck on Tosin and Matt perfectly syncing into that nutty groove and hitting those notes in unison.
@@SSVplus do you really think that slapping a bass and a guitar take the same amount of skill?
That slap riff is ridiculous...
?
Rawnfella *impossible
ghost note final boss
What a break down.... my favourite aal breakdown
I did a djembe rendition of that riff ;) ua-cam.com/video/Vw5lr66NxhU/v-deo.html
That instrument he's playing is actually the space ship he piloted here from a galaxy far, far away.
Lol!!
Micah Nix like the silver surfer but instead of a surfboard it was this guitar lmao
@@parthmehra8630 Silver Sweeper
What kind of guitar is that.?
Everyone swarms Area 51 just to find him playing guitar alone.
JFROPRO next level funny
Lol!
AHAHAHHAHA
The best comment I’ve seen about him on any video to-date lol 😂
Totally worth it
3:44 “Thanks”
Matthew Meeker 😂😂
Matthew Meeker Really says it all
got me
What I love about tosin is his genius blend of classical technique into metal he keeps it melodic and its great.
Javier does that a lot more than he does in the band, but they still both have that essence which is really cool that they mix it into metal.
Tosin actually credits javier for him getting good at classical i think its in a reverb video
True
I don't understand how you get this good, at anything. The precision, the ability to NEVER mess up. It's fucking incredible. He's an alien
VolumeZ Simple, you practice right, and you practice like there is no tomorrow.
Hes so fcuking good tho

He messed up at 2:23
He went to music school and practiced alot.
When he played that C# @1:53 with the reverb and delay, that was something just sick. That is one of the best ambient tones I've ever heard🔥🔥🔥

It's called "thumping"
Dude with the starbucks cup really admires Tosin.
He's the only one enjoying the moment. Everyone else is on their phones
@@DavidNwokoye did we watch the same video?
Who doesn’t?
@@DavidNwokoye Yeah, but without people on their phones no one here would have had the privilege of watching this in the first place.

that dude's face on the right is priceless :))
Lyrics:Thanks!
1:18 - 1:50 is the most insane thing I've ever heard come from a guitar!!
Jacob Curro lol he slaps like a god
Man Plus Shield its not slapping. Its thumping. He goes through the string and back up creating two strokes, two notes
@@retrorewind6042 dude who cares lol
@@retrorewind6042 double thumb is a slapping technique, allegedly introduced, or perfected I would say, by Victor Wooten.
@@giorgoszamanis6654 correct!

Another speechless performance lmao loving this guy
I pray to this man every night...🙏
This was my first Animals As Leaders song. The moment I listened to this...............
every wooten brother that plays a string instrument, evan brewer and him are the same breed. Its awesome how that is style is so unique you can just hear it.
I almost cry everytime I see this video. How can something be this beautiful? 😢
"Thanks", Tosin Abasi, 2016.
Thank you for uploading this! Not sure why the original was removed.
I'm pretty sure Seymour Duncan no longer sponsors Tosin, so they removed his stuff from their channel. It's a shame; the audio quality was pretty good.
Wow, sounds like SD is on their period
not Tosin related but some videos of Nick Johnston demoing Seymour Duncan pedals such as the vise grip were also removed. I used to love watching those demos
now the one from ibanez has been removed :(
It's marketing stuff, nothing personal
Seymour Duncan removed the originals because they got salty that he left them for Fishman. Tosin was in the process of making signature Seymour Duncan pickups, (he's using the prototypes here) but when he tried out Fishman's he switched over. SD decided to just take em off their channel since he was no longer an SD artist.
To be fair, they should be mad that he left them like that. He left Dimarzio pretty suddenly too if I'm not mistaken.
People have been using the word salty to mean angry consistently for a hundred years. It's not hipster, it's plain English. Hipster would be like a 20-year-old using words from the 1980s.
Which is really stramge anyways because it looks like he is using Fishman Fluence's here while playing for Seymour Duncan
RoninWaffle mostly a 20 year old pit head using 70s words
Hey Zeus says the dude who’s name is spelled out like a hipster. Get over yourself.
This guy is absolutely amazing. A refreshing approach to playing guitar and some cool music. Wish I discovered him eatlier
Simplemente espectacular!!!!
tosin has created a whole new level
Beautiful ♡♡♡
this band might have the best guitarist and drummer of all time and nobody knows it
This time is amazing. Love AAL
It's very nice song...
Good to see Thor back there, probably looking to recruit Tosin into the avengers.
i am dead.
Esse cara é de outro planeta.
So soothing to the soul...
Thumping is that technique where it’s like, “that looks easy”, then you try it and die a bit on the inside
Even Scott the Wozz was kneeling in appreciation the whole video.
Tosin Abasi is amazing!
When your own custom guitar model matches your outfit, you know you've made it
Not only is his playing transcendent, he looks cool while doing it
2.23 even tosin can make a mistake. There is hope for us!
it was 3 in a row from then, but who cares, we are people! thumbs up
Even his mistakes are godly though.
He doesnt make mistakes. The playback music was fuckin up. We're doomed for eternity. Lol
Johny Alva +1
That mistake is better than the original!
Beautiful
Tosin Abasi. -- What is a guitar genius, Alex.
最高です!
Muito foda mano curti
He is literally god I'm so fucking jealous I've only been playing for 7 years and Jesus he makes me want to be better
I been playing guitar 5 years, and damn, im so Noob lmao
2:05 - I dare anyone to listen to this part of the song and withstand the urge to rhythmically nod their head. It can't be done.
So stupid they removed these, some of the best video and audio quality of him playing, the tempting time one was my drug haha
I love how everyone starts headbanging together at 2:04
i was about to write the same thing :D
The best sounds i’ve ever heard
Outstanding. The best is the signature Tosin modest "Thanks!" At the end. Hahaha!
I love how he scrunches his face up at the slap bass parts
I have been listening to the music from very early times, I can not Say My preferencia are Bad, not when everything I love into the field of music is conteined from diverse styles, and everything counts, it is My personal opinión, but Tossin Abasi from Animal as Leaders is a good example music here is another level.
Best guitarist
Tosin is the best guitarist of all time. Change my mind.
Difficult to see what else can be done with a guitar without growing a third arm! What a talent! Extraordinary!
Driving alone in my car with this music blasting.
No missus chatting.
Doesnt get much better.
My car engine sounds better.
greatest guitarist of all time.
OMG! his skill is unreal
Great place to put that Seymour Duncan poster lol
1:16 "that riff" starts
2:07 the whole crowd starts headbanging at once
The first time i heard that riff I actually lost my mind. I am typing this during recreation period at the mental clinic.
Tosin's playing before your’e eyes
I would drop that phone and JAM OUT!
With every passing year, it becomes more clear that this man is not human at all
21/October/2018 Tsin Abasi live in México City
This guy is a monster!!! WOW
This. Is. Real. MUSIC!!!
Just wooooowww
The mans an Alien 🙌
i tottaly understand the happiness from the guy of the downright
Aaaa brabaaa migão.
Quase meio milhão.
i like when tosin abasi talked
I swear this guy learned how to play guitar on mars
After 1:16 when he does the thing. My daughter goes "the guitar is broken" she had me rolling "the guitar is fine honey, trust me"
3:45 i can do this
Odell Mateo calm down
@Odell Mateo What exactly did you try to accomplish with this?
Why would Seymour Duncan remove the originals? This shit needs to be archived.
They removed the originals because he is no longer a Seymour Duncan artist. He moved to Fishman and now uses his own signature Fishman fluence pickups.
3:21 It was at this moment that the guy by the sign became a djenthead
The whole crowd simultaneously picking up head bobbing as soon as it starts getting filthy again at 2:02 is so surreal
Is he playing the bass notes at the same time ? Good lord!
Funny to think that he was probably the only person in the building able to play this.
At NAMM? Nah I dont think I so
wow !!!! Impressive !!!
I've never believed in reincarnation, but...Hendrix just may have come back and supplemented his craft - BIG TIME. All kidding aside, though, this dude has mastered some amazing rhythmic ideas, outside of the box which I endorse and LOVE.
Obviously Tosin is not from this world, is a magnificent player!
A god among us mere mortals!
Amogus
His level is not even close to Tosin. Because he is a BEAST.
The part with the delay and reverb should have been on the album. But it goes to show sometimes the live performances are better.
I wish I was half as talented as Tosin is
Não posso acreditar que esse monstro tocou aqui no Brasil e não fui
What I didn't know that was just him... I thought that was two guitars... So fucking inpressive
It is two guitars lol! Tosin plays lead and Javier Reyes plays rhythm for the most psrt. There's a backing track for rhythm when it's just Tosin.
1:17
without metronome?
is that possible?
not if you're human
Everybody talking about the slap riff but ain’t nobody talkin bout dat tappin shit
Tosin went from EMG to DiMarzio to Seymour Duncan to Fishman pickups. I wonder what’s next.
The guy at the right stopped the recording at 1:30 slapp and started thinking how he wasted his life..
The Fishmans sound great, but so do the Seymour Duncan’s, what kind of Pickups was he using here.
I didnt scroll to far into the comments to see but is he playing the verse part of pillars of creation by keith merrow??
I am learning guitar for whole two months now, should I give this one a try? I really think I can nail this, looks easy.
Is that Claire under the Marshall sign?
Good thing dude in back filmed his ass half the damn time instead of paying attention to Tosin in the flesh doing a GD clinic. Surely it was award winning what he captured lol smh
prog fan on the side 3:26 will be headbanging on this one forever
Tosin today is what hendrix was doing to guitars back in the day and then some.
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to pull off that thumping part live…
