Great guitarist. Listened to him for quite a while. That song withthe comb is musth. He plays with vibrators, hose clips. Pkus his sweep picking and tapping are unreal. He has great melody and groove. A lot gypsy influence and exotic scales in his playing along with metal and jazz. He is his own genre
Aaron Trudeau Which of his songs are more gypsy influenced? I've somehow yet to dig into his material but he's not too bizarre for me these days, hoping it's Gogol Bordello or flamenco style gypsy parts!
Bryce Bruder The one that really sticks out is Caffeine. He does a great rendition of Django's minor swing. The gypsy influence is all thru his music. Awesome, you mentioned Gogol Bordello. Check out The road less Traveled album. Its great. He covers every genre. He has that gypsy excitement and fun to his music. Always leaves a smile on my face listening to him.
That comb trick was AWESOME. You should try a hair band just in front of your left fingers to palm mute the notes a little, then they would really pop.
For the guy asking about the frets, These are true temperment frets. The guitar is in perfect intonation as you move up and down the fret board because of the placement of the bends. I dont care how well a regular fretted guitar is intonnated it will never be as perfect as a true temperment fret board. Yes you can bend them, you cant bend on fretless guitars.
Mattias confirm here again that he is one of the most original and creative player on the guitar scene. Very strange and beautiful at the same time, as usual. Unique style. And it confirms another thing: you cannot buy a tone, it's all in the mind and the fingers. Matthias could play on any gear, it would sound... Well like him! Great guitar with True Temperament fretboard, by the way.
Mattias ia Eklund are one of greatest guitar players in the world! What he not can do on a guitar 1 or 8 string ! Is not worth knowing! Check him out with his group: Freak Kitchen , here on RUclips and you see it !! Personal favorite is: teargas jazz ; 0)
Whenever people say "8 strings are dumb you can't make good music like ozzy did with them" I think of this video and laugh. They're not 100% comparable but they're in the same vein as metal v
True Temperament Frets is an interesting concept, alas it is calibrated for a given string length at a certain string gauge and tension thus. Change the material of the strings (say use titanium or a new alloy) , and the tension wil be different, rendering the "true temperament" off tune. Also, notice that pro guitarists who demo TT fretting never use heavy wide left hand vibrato, always a small , discrete and round vibrato, for obvious reasons: it's not made for that type of playing. I'll pass.
I doubt he took the idea from Paul Gilbert, it doesn't even sound like he'd be into his stuff. In much the same way that I doubt that Buckethead too his doubletime delay effect from The Edge, who was doing it in the 70's - just because 2 people have a similar idea doesn't mean they were coping each other.
The thumb shouldn't be over the neck like that. It makes it impossible to play clean and make stretches on an 8. So why would you make such a nasty comment?
Aidan Khoury Frankly that depends on hand size and neck thickness, width and profile not the number of strings (although obviously 8 strings are more sizable). Looking at this, he looks like he's quite comfortable playing this way. Talking about toxic comments, yours isn't much better. You just blindly criticized a guy who could outplay us all with his pinkie on his technique, don't want to get shit on in the comment section? Stop posting opinionated bs as if it's truth above all truths.
Bitey Thank you for a realistic reply. He is restricting his hand movement, that's my point. Also, I'm entitled to my own opinion, and I enjoy sharing my opinions. The way you perceived my opinion is quite dramatic: "as if it's truth above all truths". I don't know where that came from. I simply stated that his technique is bad because it restricts his playing ability. I'm glad I caused such a storm with my comment though, it got me a lot of views on my own videos! :D And just as a fyi, I never said he was a bad guitarist, he's still awesome.
His playing was quite unique; he utilized tha extra range of an 8 string impressively. I really like tha Jazz/Bluesy grooves I heard in his playing.
Anyone else just happy this guy exist?
His phrasing.. goodness.
That comb part was awesome!!
Nothing like a creative rhythm/lead guitarist on an 8 string.
Worlds ahead of most guitar players today!
Ahaha, that comb riff! I have to try that one out :P
vine.co/v/MU11PHv97Ah ;)
BWAHAHAHAHA
Did he play with a fucking comb
He played with a fucking comb.

Aaron Trudeau Hehe, glad we could introduce each other to good new music then. I'll check out Caffeine!
Bryce Bruder I saw gogol last year. Great show. So much energy. My young daughters love the song Start Wearing Purple.
Aaron Trudeau Gypsy punk is a fun, obscure genre hehe

What he did there with that piece of plastic was kinda weird but it sounded like tremolo picking on a (power)chord the EASY way!!! Genius :P

Caparison realized Paul makes 8 strings sound like farts so they got their own professional.

Mattias IA Eklundh in upcoming documentary
How does bending look like with these frets? It seems that pitch won't be accurate with high bends...
Wow, what a player!
That comb trick is hilarious
Awesome master guitar!
When will this guitar be out? I want one.
I would SOOO get this :3
FYI, putting before a link will make it clickable in the description.
How he change frets?
Cool stuff, nice gtr. I can't play 7 or 8 strings .. I have tried but didn't work for me
mattias yeaaaah? but does anybody knows the idea behind those frets?
Well temperament frets besides the apocalyptic outlook :D were designed to get your guitar perfectly intonated throughout the whole fretboard.
thanks buddy
Do the perfect-tune frets mess up bending?
No.
wow awesome
Mattias IA Eklundh in upcoming documentary

damn something about this riff sounds awesome better then most crap on the radio

2:54 I did that when recording a song, then the guys came at me to say "man, you're a hell of a fast picker!"... noobs.
Why do you think they call it Dope!? Great band in the back there Sir!
he cant be fakin more sick
Mattias IA Eklundh in upcoming documentary
A guitar that looks like it belongs in Game Of Thrones and takes a millennium to unpack.
Some cool sounds by the kid.
ей-богу, такие лады заебесси менять
2 вопроса:
-там реально кривые лады? О_о
-на 2:54 напильником играет что-ли? или что это за хренотень такая? :D
pretty good, this guy is musical. he takes the risk not to shred.
Mattias IA Eklundh in upcoming documentary
Jimmy page eat ur heart out... Also take this and comb ur hair xD \m/
Why would Jimmy Page "eat his heart out"? Led Zeppelin are Gods amongst men!
The comb was just the poor man's remake of Paul Gilbert's electronic drill. Still sounds awesome tho
I doubt he took the idea from Paul Gilbert, it doesn't even sound like he'd be into his stuff. In much the same way that I doubt that Buckethead too his doubletime delay effect from The Edge, who was doing it in the 70's - just because 2 people have a similar idea doesn't mean they were coping each other.
finally and 8string demo that dosent play djent bullshit!!!
His technique is so bad, what is he doing with an 8 string.
***** I still like the music (minus the comb part) however I do not think he suits an 8 string at all.
Lol the comments on youtube are always so toxic.
The thumb shouldn't be over the neck like that. It makes it impossible to play clean and make stretches on an 8. So why would you make such a nasty comment?
