    I love the sound of 8 strings when played like this it reevaluates the whole 8 string concept instead of being pure metal and djent ( I do love metal though aswell)

    I can't really sense any other artists in this music. Most musicians sound a bit like their inspiration. Rob is his own genre. He sounds like Rob Scallon, not any other progressive bands, not even The Fine Constant, another tranquil artist. I love artists that find their own sound and pioneer it.

    I know that this isn’t the message behind the song I honestly don’t know if there even is one but whin I here this tune it makes me think of a musician who is in love with a theater girl in his college but being a musician she look down on him so he wrote this song for her and plays it at a show that she was at and she automatically knew what it was about and then finely falls for him. Idk it’s just the vibe the song gives of I’m honestly probably over analyzing it. But thanks for the song rob I totally love it

I especially like what you can do with the eight string guitar, it's definitely up there with Tosin Abassi's technical skill and creativity when it comes to writing.

    It's like you're playing the bass and guitar this was really good. I'm using it as a backing so I can solo over it

    Wow, that was beautiful. I really loved that side camera angle; at first I thought you were sitting in an interesting, but very unusual room, then I thought you had moved everything on the walls in your room onto the floor (and vice versa), and then I finally realized what you had actually done. That was really cool. It delighted my eyes :)

      Glad you enjoyed it :)
      and I'm really happy that a lot of people don't seem to be picking in up right away. Mission accomplished!
