Music is just what you want to make of it yourself. The only 'requirements' are self imposed. A single note can convey just as much as 100. It all depends on the musician. I wish more people understood that.
Definitely feel that with the 2010s+. Honestly it's not my style at all, it's cool hearing and seeing the first time. But it gets old real quick. The new age way of playing just is not for me. It takes an incredible amount of skill to pull it off, but I'm not a fan.

70 of course. Thats basically the beginning of rock, thats how it all started. The raw energy of 70s were never really surpassed. Everything got fancier and technically superior, but not better energy wise. And rock is all about that energy, for me. Every 15 yo plays faster then Hendrix, but there were no other Hendrix ever since.
70s I would say was the peak for rock. You had Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Kansas, REO Speedwagon, and Boston. Boston were very much ahead of their time, IMO, and I'd put their music up against any reasonably good rock act now.
Show me the 15 year old who has large lick vocabulary, mastery over rhytmn & songwriting on the same level as Hendrix lol. The man could improvise for hours without repeating the same lick and would probably become a jazz fusion master if he lived a bit longer. Miles Davis & other jazz greats wanted to work with him
3 best things in this video... "end on a big skanky chord.", the fuckin guitar suit, and how you just happily go back to playing 50s style instead. Your videos are hilarious
Definitely the early 2000's for me, nothing beats the greatness bands like Spawn of Possession, Odious Mortem, Necrphagist, Vital Remains, and CFtG were doing with solos and shreds.
One of my favorite solos of all time is Deafheaven's Honeycomb, It somehow feels like a 50's solo put through every proceeding decades tropes Sometimes the simplicity can be what makes it beautiful
Excellent and surprising choice, I love this solo. And I egree with what you said - While most of metal solos are shreding, this solo is made by someone that knows how to place notes in order to make you FEEL something. (plus its one of my favorite albums of all time)
It always kills me when old people claim that guitar players have only gotten worse and arent what they used to be when you have aliens on the planet like Tosin just obliterating all previous guitar icons and making us feel like we only previously unlocked 25% of the guitar before his rise.
But yet everything he plays sounds uninspired and emotionless. Nothing he does has any re-listen value. It's the musical equivalent of those art house movies that are very depressing and dramatic that you watch one and say "ok cool" then never want to watch it again. To me music should elicit emotions that bring you back over and over. When you junk it up with all sorts of complicated mess it doesn't resonate with the amygdala anymore and becomes like listening to homework.
@@vicenzor9699 thats just your own opinion man. Tosin is one of the most inspiring guitarists out there. There's a reason everyone's trying to sound like him in modern metal now he completely changed the game and I couldn't possibly listen to one of his solos and hear no emotion at all. He's the only guitarist I know who can become a millionaire making instrumentals lol especially in todays musical business climate where good bands are making no money at all, im sorry but legends of the past couldnt pull that off and you don't get there by sounding unemotional and uninspiring.. and even older legends ,like steven vai, hold him in high esteem. If they think he's good too, shouldn't that hold more weight? I'm not some crazy animals as leaders fanboy either, they're not even one of my favorite bands. But as a guitarist, you can't not respect someone that damn good. But to each their own.
For the 00's you could have just used Hand of blood sweeping since everyone was doing that, at least in the metal scene. The pop scene was too full of spice girls and Nsync
So I hope no-one takes offence at this but although I appreciate Tosin's skill that kind of djent style just doesn't sound good to me, I can only listen for a few minutes.
There are guitarists that create music that everybody loves and is entertained by. Then there are guitarists who play for other discerning guitarists exclusively and abasi is the latter. They are usually boring to listen to as music is an artistic expression to illicit an emotional response not a stringing together of overly technical Wankery
Didn't recognise by name, had to check it out. Didn't sound too good, inb4 "you just hate cause you can't play it". Seems like more technical=better is trending again. Sigh.
You should do how rock rythm guitar has changed since the 50s nit just with advent of distortion, but with speed and technique...the 90s and drop tuning.. ..
