      Bruh... I swear i can imagine a silly cheesy movie where some dudes hand gets its own brain and turns him into a master of all arts. Drawing. Music... But its one hand so he ends up having to learn the rest with his other to work together and syncronize. Then they truely become one once they are 100% connected and the hands brain goes away but the guy keeps all the skills it had... And now he's a badass at guitar. Fighting with one arm. And fuck... masturbating. Idk lol could lead into some funny scenarios... It reminds me of parasyte the maxim

      @hsdgfasdg5646 11 лет назад +8

      ***** You're right, he's using his wrist mostly, but you can also notice a lot of thumb/index finger movement in his picking technique. Very cool. Especially noticeable at 2:30

  • @yungamixedit
    @yungamixedit 10 лет назад +57

    Before looking closely at this video, i was completely bewilder on Browne's right hand, and how he was able to keep such a steady hand with all the back-picks, but if you look at his pinky, it is tucked under the 1st string for leverage. Great Job M8!

    • @uptheirons726
      @uptheirons726 10 лет назад +5

      a lot of people anchor like that, myself included. Except I don't anchor my pinky on the high E, instead I anchor it on the bridge humbucker. That's why I only like a humbucker in the bridge, without it there's no anchoring. Lol.

    • @yungamixedit
      @yungamixedit 10 лет назад

      uptheirons726 Same I anchor on the bridge, but I had never seen it under the strings tho.

    • @kmw5100
      @kmw5100 10 лет назад +9

      I've always done the same, it makes it infinitely easier to keep low string single note lines and tight riffing in check.

    • @iseeu1980
      @iseeu1980 10 лет назад +2

      He might also use his pinky that way to dampen the strings.

    • @cpamiseso
      @cpamiseso 9 лет назад +1

      Tony Young Anchoring is efficient and lots of people do that. I saw that suggestion while watching instructional videos by Petrucci once, and Friedman once. They said it is handy and precisely held their picking hand in check. Do that myself, since I have wobbly wrist, LOL.

  • @WilsonJimenez
    @WilsonJimenez 10 лет назад +12

    The first minute of this song is amazing, not to say that the rest of the song isn't a masterpiece, because it is, but that first minute sets the tone for the rest of the tune. Top job.

    Although I would usually be against such mechanical playing, there's something about the perfection of this performance that just puts you in a trance. Additionally, two things: 1-that picking was unbelievable 2-very interesting tone, I like it!

    • @onestepfromsiberia4197
      @onestepfromsiberia4197 3 года назад +3

      I think the thing is that those who usually can be called as 'technical' just play too many notes, but don't care about the picking and the quality. Most of the times they're out of grid. DJonh can do both the agressive picking right on the grid and a good amount of notes

    • @mryongjin3909
      @mryongjin3909 2 года назад +1

      Hi I'm 8 years late in answering this - sometime I think in 2017++ I noticed from the way he strums chords that he was a very unique pocket and feel which despite being super rigid in that space does something very rare in technical riffage which is maintain a solid natural groove amongst the super-quantized mass market sound we've come to know today

    Looks like fast forward milliseconds, isn't it? But I love him creates music that works on guitar like this. Super-melodious riff. The way he played ghost notes while riffing, it's just fantastic. Keep it up Browne! I wish you can give us a teaser for upcoming new album.

    to all the dudes saying this is insane: yep it is, but from a musical point of view. what im saying with this is: its super hard to come up with something like the main riff (and the whole song and monuments stuff in general) and it really requieres a REALLY big amount of skill, BUT fucking try to learn it, its not even that hard, just belive in your self and you can learn the song. I actually was not a downpicking-God (what means i really sucked at downpicking, had no speed, dexerty, got super fast exhaustet..... and im still a noob comared to him) UNTIL i learned this and atlas, and within !2WEEKS! of actually not practicing as much as i should had i skyrocked my playing and my way of writing music has completely changed. Thanks mr. Brown, you are THE man!
