    Great piece. One of StS's best and excellent hiking/traveling music.
    To those saying that, "this is not very technical" or "this is so easy", it isn't about using every trick in the book to make the song better. It's simply about making a great piece of music, to which they have definitely succeeded.
    Also, SPOILER ALERT: musicians who put out albums have limits to their technical prowess just like you and I.

    • @renegadestrings
      @renegadestrings 9 лет назад +7

      Jordan Mandas I very much agree. There's a huge misconception in the metal community that speed + complexity = challenging. Listeners often neglect aspects of intricacy, fluidity, pacing, and patience. (that last part being my biggest obstacle as a guitarist)

    • @AnthonyNelsonPhoto
      @AnthonyNelsonPhoto 8 лет назад +4

      +Gregory G. Dude, I saw the patience thing for the first time myself the other day. I taught the other guitarist of my band a simple as pie riff that had accents on the off beats at the end of the riff so it had a bit of a funk vibe to it, and he just simply COULD NOT play it. He HAD to hit the beat. I constantly showed him the right way to do it but it's like his body wouldn't let him take that extra split second to rest. Really weird experiencing something like that firsthand.

    • @danson1992
      @danson1992 8 лет назад +2

      +Anthony Nelson that's why I practice with a metronome over as many different time signatures as much as I can, even practicing simple exercises in this way can teach your hands to move more fluidly over unorthodox beats and timings. especially if you start at the slowest pace tolerable over each sig you decide to work with. maybe mentioning this to him can help him learn those riffs that incorporate interesting and/or procussive angles a little more comprehensively.
