How they play that clean is beyond me. There is no hiding mistakes with those tones
I know, so damn fluid...
Being way too good to make us all feel bad for trying.
That's one of my favorite things about drumming. I know you were talking about the guitar tones, but you basically can not hide drumming mistakes no matter what.
Spencer Jessee Yes, you can. Sample replacement, etc.
Anti-Cosmic Dawn He means in a live video/setting like this. Anyone can sound immaculate on recordings if done right.
songs like suda make life worth living.
his guitar needs a haircut
I can't help but picture these guys at a big jazz concert lineup, and the older guys in the other bands like "Damn those kids fuckin rock!"
I'm a bass player. Although of course the guitars are the stars of this band, I can't help but notice how simple, but effective and supportive the bass is. I felt if I was playing in this band I would have the inclination to want to have my playing as technical and complex as the guitars, and probably would end up over playing and kind of stepping on their feet musically.
Anyone else think this? Am I over-thinking this? Because that's definitely a possibility.
Anyway, great band! Definitely one of my current favorites
yeah i agree im not a bassistbbut i can see what you mean. ive noticed that too lol. i think if the bass was as technical theyd just have to be careful withnot hitting wrong notes and keeping the beat and groove on hahah.i think a bass improv with the guitars would be prettty tight too though
That's how I've always looked at it. I think the bass lines do a great job of holding down the melodies and motifs that the the guitar parts work with. Too much technicality would ruin it I think
Bass + Drums = rhythm section.
joerufo1 I definitely agree, they keep the rhythm, and it doesn't mean they can't make it funky delicious. c:
Chris Boyle
The drummer of Toe is who really stands out to me. Like when the drums come in in Metronome, it's so grand
Mountains of Creation has to be the hardest Chon song. This is crazy!
The guitar isn't even that hard it's one of the few songs I can play by them all the way through.
Cheesy Cola It's actually easier when you play along to this video due to the slower tempo. Though I still have trouble with it, especially that big scale run.
Cheesy Cola That might be true. At least for me. The maj7 arpeggio run is insane. Playing up to tempo is near impossible.
fuck no, the hardest is probably, most likely splash. i still cant get that shit
purplekisses nahh Splash isn't too much. I think Dew is definitely their most technically demanding track.
This band is so refreshing compared to the sea of mediocre metal bands today. I love how their guitars are just on the edge of breakup instead of the typical over saturated tone usually used.
+DomSchu well obviously they're going to sound refreshing if you're comparing them to metal bands, because you know. they're actually not metal.
+The Authority Actually, if you had any reasonable knowledge of what metal music is and the history of metal music, you would know it essentially stemmed from jazz musicians picking up rock and roll. So, this is honestly as metal as it gets. Do us all a favor and shut your mouth about things you don't understand.
+Brandon Higgins Homerun, brother.
+Brandon Higgins I've been listening to metal for 17 years now, and I've never heard of the notion that metal "essentially stemmed from jazz musicians picking up rock and roll"
*****, cool man, for sure, and in a lot of ways you would be right. Let's take original metal and what was mainly thought of as heavy metal through the late 20th century. Starting in the 60's and 70's, we had bands like Led Zeppelin all the way to Black Sabbath being considered heavy metal. This of course, in our mind, is the beginnings of hard rock and psychedelic rock, brought from the changes made to blues music in particular.
Ok, so then things changed for almost all of these genres. I'm going to call it the progressive music movement. Jazz musicians starting writing blues, rock musicians starting doing prog rock and metal musicians started doing prog metal. Of course, everything here starts getting really weird, because most of your musicians are crossing lines, working together, working on each others albums and changing as the years continued.
In a lot of ways, we can say that prog metal stemmed from taking classical and jazz themes and integrating them into the musical instruments and musicianship of the late 20th century. Of course, I'm not saying that Rich or Coltrane ever wrote metal music. I'm more saying that musicians interested in progressive styles starting playing their guitar through marshalls and mesas with drummers that understood more than 4/4.
I don't think you could ever be in a bad mood if you performed this music every night. The positive vibes are too strong
0:45 is easily one of my favorite riffs. The part after in 7/4 is also tight
what so good about them is... they barely use heavy distortion. Great stuff!
+Andie Garcia they don't use distortion... is called boosts or compressors to make the sound a little more dirty and ¨heavy´but is not distor
+Diego Zuñiga K guy

Yeah, and in an interview from like maybe a year ago or so, Mario said that most of the times they just play on slightly eq'd stock guitars with no petals or anything, so clearly they like to keep it clean xD
Chon never disappoints.
Very true! Oh, and nice car! :P
paul kl Calm down
What the fuck lmfao
I seriously would love to hear what beautiful music these guys could write on some classical guitars. I also just love how they are all happy to be playing. We need more musicians like these now. I hope I can someday live up to these guys in playing though. But I guess that's just a shit ton of practice. CHON is just full of emotion/passion and technical skill I don't know how else to describe it. I love it.
Listen to "woohoo" album they got couple of classical guitar riffs :)
Totaly agree with you chon is my favorite band they really inspired me a lot, way more than plini, sithu aye, scale the summit, animals as leaders,... CHON PRESIDENT
1:47 the chord break that I always look foward to in chon songs.
Im so glad mountains of creation survived all this time. i would really love to see temporarily destabilized get a revamp too
I can hear those mountains being created. Stones flowing, "buduodududuoeodudueodudoeddiddledeee"
wow. what an instrumental band chon is . they use modern jazz in their music is just amazing. keep it up guys :)
I so wish they played Temporary Destabilization, I think that's my favourite of the Demo 2008 songs.
same, hopefully theyll throw that ending lick in a future song or something
They did on their tour!
4:53 , this melody makes me feel so much things, it's just incredible i've never head something like that
That’s chon
I need 10hrs of that section
This is so beautiful.
The mustache makes it even better.
Those drums sound fucking amazing
It helps that he's a great player.
dude, he's brilliant.
I love how weird and honest it is.
It's really just some bros jamming,
being chill, enjoying the company of each others tones..
I don't know, maybe I'm just weird myself, but I enjoy the sh* t out of it.
This reminds me of old YES music! Or maybe even Crimson... (Sorry...I'm old...LOL!)
Love it!!
+CSXer if these guys aren't Yes fans, i'll eat my hat
+CSXer Don't even apologize for your age! My dad raised me on 70's fusion jazz and prog, and I definitely agree that CHON reminds me much more of those bands, they're just the next generation of young dudes shredding crazy music.
hoy old are you dude ?
+CSXer i said the exact same thing , not so much melodically but yes and early King crimson were so full of talent all competing for space . its one of the reasons yes had so many line up changes over the years. each member in his own right was good enough to be the anchor of a great band and that much talent usually devours itself
This is old Rush playing an old Yes song.
i was listening to this, and forgot that i wasnt listening to studio recording! so good!!!
so technical yet so beautiful. modern day virtuosos
This. This is why I'm so passionate about music and musicality. The lads of CHON who push the boundaries of genre and simply create art. There is probably no better feeling than creating and performing with your best friends and having fun while doing it.
Props to Audiotree for the brilliant set and sound!
I love this. Gorgeous. Love the lighter take on the technical prog side of things. so fun to watch and listen to.
dude they nailed Suda so hard. It's just like on the album.
I'm late, but they performed it better than the album to be honest :3
@@LuisFeRiffs they played faster than the album version
djentle
Kevin Lyons surprising as it may seem, chon are not djent. So gentle would be the appropriate comment
James Kent Don't you mean Djentle? :p
+Caoimhín Ó Laighin you win.
do people really think this kind of music is djent?
not djent
Bravo. Incredible musicians. You will be remembered in the future of music.
Met these guys they are so down to earth and the music speaks for itself
God Nathan is one of the best drummers out there rn
their early materials are true killer
It would be so awesome if they did a collab with chino Moreno.
holy fuck yes I didn't think of that but it would sound amazing
We strive to make music that is kinda like CHON + Deftones. Check us out!
Suda is my favourite song of Chon right now
damn post concert depression i gotta see CHON again soon
Still got some of the crunchiest grooves in all of prog metal.
that's some three incredibly talented young men
Those cymbals are so dark in tone, I love it.
buenisima banda, me encanta lo que hacen. really great band, i Love their music.
This was brain meltingly good.
This music is perfect
If you are into a wide verity of metal and want your face melted check
out my videos. We are a underground metal band from Ohio (U.S.A.) We

album! We will be uploading videos once a week. Check us out, give us
your opinion, advice, and please subscribe and drop some likes. Anything
will help. All the greats had to start small, please help a local under
ground band become something. Thanks!-Feromoan
And So I Watch You From Afar! Awesome band
I dont mess with rock music that much but this band is seriously talented. Loving the music and i wish the best for them
If Animals As Leaders and TTNG had a baby...
+Tom Post If Chon and Chon had a baby...
+Tom Post Man, if you think CHON sounds like those bands (who I do love), you clearly have never listened to good fusion jazz. Listen to Return to Forever, Weather Report, and Mahavishnu Orchestra to start with
suda make my day feel fine...
I wish they sounded like this in studio recordings. This performance is so good. It’s like a little sped up. And you can feel the shit out of the drums. For some reason In recordings their drums sound more subdued.
I like it a lot. Has a Dance Gavin Dance feel to it.
How dare you. Dance Gavin dance? Sounds nothing like two penises rubbing together.
LOL Dance Gavin Dance wishes they sounded like this and I enjoy DGD.
Rudy Garcia Dance Gavin Dance style is all over chon. They do have a lot of Will Swan's swing.
Rudy Garcia Why do you know what two penises rubbing together sounds like?
SireShankALot He already said how he knew, he listened to DGD.
this is greatness...
No other music or artist even compares seriously what the fuck tops this? Who's doing this shit?
I agree 100%
Tosin Abasi and all his greatness with Animals As Leaders LOL They actually toured together, Chon is fucking awesome though! SD Represent! =)
check out polyphia and intervals too :)
All of you guys need to listen to more Math rock. then you will see more bands like the style that chon is headed towards.
Tera Melos, Hella, or anything else with Zach Hill, Toe, and lots of other Japanese Math Rock bands, to name a few.
what's with all the notes
i think its called msuic or something like that
didn't know that, thanks
You learn something new everyday
***** exactly
It’s this thing called music that modern pop/rap ect doesn’t have in it.
This is amazing.
spectacular stuff
I miss the boys sm 😢😢
I think I'm in love!
Need help getting their chunky tones. Like how should my amp settings be
i love that singer
00:45 best part
Flying thru the notes....
Brilliant!
Something i costume to do is imagine vocals in an instrumental music. I don't need to imagine nothing with this,chon really gives all the visions
these guys are geniuses
Man these guys are killing it
Imagine if Chon and Ichika Nito collaborated together
Y mis ojos aún están humedecidos... :')
Saw these guys with animals and conquering dystopia in knoxville they fuckin rock i love how you can tell they're really into the groove
amazing
Am I the only one that realizes in the first 3 seconds of mountains of creation there are 7 snare hits?Jesus Christ. Chon gets better everyday
Nevermind he doesn't do the triplet with the snares in this version. On the record you can hear it
Why isn't Mountains of Creation on the EP??
2008 ep
what is this and how did I not know about it
Why is this video 240p when all the others before it are 1080?!?
They're groove game is way to loud. They are like "whats that? we can't hear you over our groove."
Haha so cool I haven't heard these ones before
God I wish I was the drummer in this band. I would kill to have those riffs to call mine.
upriseandfall Jesus. Just realized he's only 18 here!
what kind of guitars are those?
I wonder what's the gauge of the strings
4
I just cannot believe how this serious artist like "CHON" are so unknown in the world music and int he other hand I just see dudes like Justin Bieber, Miley Cirus and Britney getting Millions and Millions for practicly NOTHING, that is just unbelievable and unfair, hope You the best Guys today and always, Your music is just amazing. Congrats.
Way too impressive for most, I believe no one understand our feels normal people prefer shitty music... chon should be on air on any radio 24/7
I totally agree with You bro
Nice!
That breakdown is too good 😭😭😭
i'd like to learn to play like that. i just know basic stuff.
where should i start??
Through interviews, they're both have a history with jazz and a wee bit of blues and also in piano. But a lot of the chords they use, are jazz oriented. So I would suggest, to get lessons from a jazz guitar teacher or if you have a teacher, to have him show you some basic jazz. Other than that, practice practice practice
What Hihats are those?
What kind of harmonics were those Erik was playing at 2:18
Harp Harmonics. It's when you finger a note with your left hand and place your index finger an octave higher and rest it on the string (like you would to play normal harmonics) and then pluck it with your pick (which you should hold between your middle finger and thumb.
Why is his double pedal gone!!
Different drummers for studio and live
Studio drummer is Brian Evans
Live drummer is Nathan (the guy here)
Tho, Nathan has recorded some drum tracks for some songs I think. Also Brian played live a few times
Love their work!! Hey Jeff the group Wooden Stars sound somewhat similiar styled but not as Technical though.
I LOVE These guys!! Very Talented!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are all so fucking talented
currently learning mountains of creation on guitar and this song is a nightmare lol. its very intricate.
What album is Mountains of Creation on?
On their 2008 demo ep
Is there a way I can download these tracks?
iTunes

The Youngsters are next Level .
Chon for pandemy
Would have liked to see the drummer at 1:23.
This is actually nuts, I don't even...
1:43 I just can't handle all these feels
Their songs are so hard to play.
отличный трек.
Question: What genre would you consider this? I don't need to know too badly, mind you. I am just clueless what to call it? Harmonic Chill Metal? That's all I've got.
You can consider calling it Progressive Metal
***** how is this metal? This sounds a lot more like prog rock than prog metal
.
So there is debate? I thought metal at first because I saw a video on youtube of them live and the drummer possessed some metal-ish qualities. Their guitars look a little like the guitars someone might play metal on also. I don't think that is proof, at least not enough for me to decide. They definitely are pretty good at playing. I can hear almost jazz sometimes in it, or blues too so whatever haha.
progressive rock with a mix of jazz is what i hear. just my opinion tho.
A more progressive/mellowed out band now that I'm too old for The Fall of Troy. ;) haha jk. Both bands are amazing.
how old are you?
