@@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

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.
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.
agreed, the only thing annoying about the mistakes is that he has a backing track so when its out-of-sync it hurts, ive seen Animals As Leaders 4 times now and he actually plays certain parts differently because no matter how many triggers he uses, there are just too many elements to the layers. so when he improvises life i treat as one of the treasures of life because he almost seems more comfortable improvising, as any jazz musician should be :0
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
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
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.
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
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.
![Some really sick playing transpired at NAMM 2019... [Part 1]](/img/n.gif)
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?
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
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.?
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
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🔥🔥🔥
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.

It's called "thumping"
that dude's face on the right is priceless :))

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.
Thumping is that technique where it’s like, “that looks easy”, then you try it and die a bit on the inside
I pray to this man every night...🙏
Good to see Thor back there, probably looking to recruit Tosin into the avengers.
i am dead.
There's actually a few mistakes throughout this performance but it just makes it better
Its comforting to know hes human, unless hes sneaking those mistakes in on purpose.

@@stevenclemens9929 except for the fact that he's not exactly playing jazz, but i get your point
It shows that he’s human after all
I remember that in a video he forces him to do mistakes......A humble point of his personality

Lyrics:Thanks!
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
This guy is absolutely amazing. A refreshing approach to playing guitar and some cool music. Wish I discovered him eatlier
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
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!
When your own custom guitar model matches your outfit, you know you've made it
I almost cry everytime I see this video. How can something be this beautiful? 😢
This was my first Animals As Leaders song. The moment I listened to this...............
this band might have the best guitarist and drummer of all time and nobody knows it
So soothing to the soul...
Beautiful ♡♡♡
Another speechless performance lmao loving this guy
Simplemente espectacular!!!!
Not only is his playing transcendent, he looks cool while doing it
2:07 the whole crowd starts headbanging at once
Even Scott the Wozz was kneeling in appreciation the whole video.
This time is amazing. Love AAL
"Thanks", Tosin Abasi, 2016.
So stupid they removed these, some of the best video and audio quality of him playing, the tempting time one was my drug haha
The best sounds i’ve ever heard
tosin has created a whole new level
Outstanding. The best is the signature Tosin modest "Thanks!" At the end. Hahaha!
Great place to put that Seymour Duncan poster lol
1:16 "that riff" starts
Tosin Abasi is amazing!
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!
Esse cara é de outro planeta.
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
I love how everyone starts headbanging together at 2:04
i was about to write the same thing :D
Beautiful
It's very nice song...
最高です!
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.
Tosin Abasi. -- What is a guitar genius, Alex.
I love how he scrunches his face up at the slap bass parts
greatest guitarist of all time.
Just wooooowww
Muito foda mano curti
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.
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"
This. Is. Real. MUSIC!!!
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.
Tosin is the best guitarist of all time. Change my mind.
Best guitarist
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.
I swear this guy learned how to play guitar on mars
OMG! his skill is unreal
i tottaly understand the happiness from the guy of the downright
This guy is a monster!!! WOW
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!
21/October/2018 Tsin Abasi live in México City
The mans an Alien 🙌
With every passing year, it becomes more clear that this man is not human at all
i like when tosin abasi talked
wow !!!! Impressive !!!
Obviously Tosin is not from this world, is a magnificent player!
3:45 i can do this
Odell Mateo calm down
@Odell Mateo What exactly did you try to accomplish with this?
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
The whole crowd simultaneously picking up head bobbing as soon as it starts getting filthy again at 2:02 is so surreal
A god
I wish I was half as talented as Tosin is
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
Aaaa brabaaa migão.
Quase meio milhão.
oh my god.... oh my god
My god 😙
Não posso acreditar que esse monstro tocou aqui no Brasil e não fui
His level is not even close to Tosin. Because he is a BEAST.
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.
Audience dude to the left of the Seymour Duncan sign eyes staring as hard as the eyes on his shirt.
which pickups is he using? does anyone know?
Tosin today is what hendrix was doing to guitars back in the day and then some.
Everybody talking about the slap riff but ain’t nobody talkin bout dat tappin shit
Is he playing the bass notes at the same time ? Good lord!
I didnt scroll to far into the comments to see but is he playing the verse part of pillars of creation by keith merrow??
Fucking LEGEND
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.
A god among us mere mortals!
Amogus
Tosin went from EMG to DiMarzio to Seymour Duncan to Fishman pickups. I wonder what’s next.
Is that Claire under the Marshall sign?
prog fan on the side 3:26 will be headbanging on this one forever
