get a new guitar teacher. if you went to him for 5 years and he made you give up cuz you were resting your elbow on the guitar then that's a crummy teacher
From 2:24 to the end, this is probably the most beautiful metal chords progression I've ever heard. So intense and pure at the same time. You nailed it bro.
I kept waiting for him to troll me and he didn't. I actually had to watch it twice because the first time I was hesitating to get too into it in anticipation of his trolling, which... wait, was that the troll? That I can't trust something beautiful anymore? Is this my life now? I'm so confused.
Miles Corporosus last time I remember him doing this was The Sound of Silence cover and it was April Fools’ so maybe the troll this time was also that he posted it one month later and not on April Fools’!
This sounds exactly like the song that one guy was trying to play when he hit a wrong note and it followed him forever because of the delay. Look it up it's pretty funny.
I've grown to really love and respect kmac. Initially saw him as a troll channel that was good at guitar. Now I see him as a musical legend that is funny as hell without having to force his comedy.
There’s a difference between being a good guitarist and being musical. This dude knows how to through some chords together! More original content please! That was sick!
@@Cobalt985 It is obviously heavily influenced by it, the start is near the same. He's taken it and made it it's own thing but you can't deny that there's a huge resemblance to it lmao
@@oliviarose3513 I usually discourage that. Our ears are more important than any instrument we play, they must be well trained. No matter how hard I need to try, I always try learning songs by ear. Eventually, you'll get used to it and you'll notice a huge improvement in your listening.
@@_lucas.antunes_ yeah but you can start getting it by ear after you play it for a while, doesnt hurt learning songs from tabs, specially for beginners

If you listen to both and then listen to this, you'll know it's Big Sur Moon... The songs are only slightly similar. And in the description of this video... "Big Sur Meme".
Woah. I'm not sure I've ever listened to anything that used all the strings. I wasn't even aware that those were usable. I always thought they were just for show. Thank you for opening my eyes. Tbh tho, I'm probably just gonna keep djentin on the lowest string on my shitty used Squier in drop kwebbelkop
Weeeeell, you can make that Squire sound dope if you got some money to put away. If you got a bit of know how about guitar modding. Get a scratch plate for it ( Assuming you have a Strat ) that fits humbuckers. Get some Bare Knuckle pickups with high output. See if you can fit in a pot with push / pull in case you're getting 4-wire connectors on the pickups. Get a better trem and lock it, for purpose of better tuning stability and intonation on lower tunings, replace the nut and tuners, probably the string trees and well. There you go. A Dient axe to smash some riffs on
Hi Kmac. I've been watching your videos for a while. Aside from the memes and all, you're a great musician. Love the wide genre creativity. Keep up with the good work.
We've come so far to appreciate this man for the meme god that he is, that I almost took for granted how talented of a guitar player, and mixer he actually is.
@@D2ezbmu I slowed down the video so I could pick out specific notes that were played on each string, then scaled back from the fret being played to get the tuning for that string. I did it with a couple notes for each string (where an open note wasn't played) to double-check I'd got it right.
Came to your channel from Herman Li for some more laughs. You delivered and then blew my mind with this. Unbelievable talent. I'm subbed. Never stop doing this unless it's bad for your health. I love it all. Take care
It took him one year and two months for him to try again after the delay finally faded away
I'll never see eating a taco the same way
Yup. That’s my old man!!
That’s the power of delay
the pain never truly leaves you
Is it weird to think that I actually kinda liked that, "wonky," note because I thought it was a neat chromaticism going to another chord? XD
Sometimes you just need to remind us that you're actually a great musician.

Reminds me a lot of the album “Everything That Is You” by Thrailkill
Reminds me a lot of what goes in many Foo Fighters songs

are there any songs that sound similar to that section? (that isnt foo fighters cuz ive heard those already)
KMAC in serious mode is something I can't actually explain.

This is actually a massive CHOOON, dude you are a triple threat: meme, sing and make sick bangers

Bro this video is serious. No jokes here.
This was both soothing and badass.
Hey, it's cool and all, but can anyone tell me which contortionists song is this?🤔
could also be applied to Plini and maybe AAL if lucky lol
Dastorm by Sandrude

Hahaha 😂 I was think it sounded very Contortionist inspired too

finally, a reprieve from staring at the wall waiting for another kmac video
My life is also exciting
Welp. Back to staring at the wall. Maybe we’ll get a JonTron video in a few weeks to hold us over

"Okay so we need a cool dotted 8th note delay intro"
*Listens to Buckethead once*
"Oh shit I need a lead guitar line too"
*Listens to Polyphia once*
true polyphia vibes

Still some pretty deep, natural, beautiful harmonies
facts
Also really reminds me of Language 1 by The Contortionist in a way
0:46 favorite part.
Rob Scallon? TheDooo?
Nah, it's just Kmac. Even better.
They're all really amazing
Kmac wins hands down but the dooo is pre cool. Gotta get a collab with them more than just the shred thing

Agreed and definitely some Skyharbor too!!
I just thought it was an Animals as Leaders song, but I lack culture.
Honestly dude I thought it was plini straight up it sounds a lot like him
