Stéphan Forté of Adagio with RG Premium

  • Опубликовано: 3 дек 2024
  • Stephan Forté's virtuosity and fierce imagination have been lighting up the sound of France's dark prog metallers Adagio since 2001. Range, invention, and dramatic tension of his style sharpen the edge of neoclassical guitar and re-define what it means to be a shredder. After five albums with Adagio, Forté's solo debut "The Shadows Compendium" leaps into the stratosphere, uniting highly technical chops,
    romanticism and spectacular narratives. Acclaim follows from guitar gurus such as Jason Becker, and Marty Friedman invites him to support his 2012 European tour. Stéphan is at the moment putting the final touches to the writing of his second solo album, which is without any doubt about to raise the shred game to the next level.

    Stéphan Stéphan is the best guitarist in my opinion. clean...precise...intelligence...a great composer...I'm waiting to release his Ibanez guitar and I'm buying 😊🎶

    Super overlooked and criminally unknown guitarist. Can't believe it's 20 years since Adagio's "Underworld" was released. Stéphan's best work, must have listened through that album about 200 times.

    For me the Premium series is the best of Ibanez guitars, I mean....nice look, good finishes, amazing sound, excellent series pick-up and not too expensive. Includes a professional sound like the Prestige series but with an affordable price. Good job Ibanez :)

    • @the80386
      @the80386 10 лет назад +1

      I love the premium series as well but this incredible demand drove the price up. The quilted maple models started of with the equivalent of 800 dollars where I live and now its 1000. The solid black rg870 was an amazingly affordable 700 dollar model. Now they discontinued that. Right now I think blackjack SLS FR passive models are strong contenders for the price costing about 800

      Stéphan Forté Reasons like 4:07-4:42 is why you became a favorite Guitarist to me. The passion you add to your playing just does it for me and it can clearly be heard. Having one of the best Vibratos in the business, gives me the chills every time. Been following ever since I first heard your work on Sanctus Ignis. Also the slow solo that starts at 2:46 on Panem et Circences, can't get enough of it. Love your playing, always will!

    • @stephanator5459

      Yes I agree Drew , He plays with such melodic bends, just give me the bumps, I see alot of Marty and Jason's influences on Stephan, hopefully some day Steph, will get the recognition he deserves ! He is truly a force to be reckon with! 7 STRING WIZARD!!

      8BITisAlwaysBetter
      Absolutely No. You can clearly see the slash / between dimarzio/IBZ in 2:08. Also think, why would he/ibanez allow him not use the stock pick-ups from this model for this DEMO? Dimarzio/IBZ are good pick-ups I would not change them If I had this guitar. They are very similar to the tone zone/air norton with just a bit more bite (treble).

    This person is a very good guitar player, I've been playing for over 30 years I've been a Gibson man. when I hear so many guitarists on Ibanez type guitars with Vibrato bars it usually all sounds like stuff that's been done before, Satriani, Steve Vai. I think that Eddie Van Halen is about the only 1 who don't sound generic. when this guy brought note up with bar. I'd get the effect by the bend that I use. Harmonic picking,overbend etc.

    Dear Mr. Stéphan Forté! So plz tell me: Wtf were you doing??? I just couldn't enjoy the whole video from the begining because I was not able to get through the fact that you're laying that beautiful Ibanez Premium guitar on those damned chains...I didn't really listen to the whole music. All I saw and felt was "OMG he's gonna' scratch it now...ohh it is safe now...wow a loverly guitar and a guy is shredding on it...oh no it will surely be scratched now...ahh no it's safe again"...and so on...etc.

    • @MK4vDubbin

      People get too sentimental about guitars. Guitars that are played get scratched, nicked, dented, beat up. It gives them character and personality.

    I verbal text and sometimes this thing gets what I say wrong, when I was trying to say I've it added that stuff between the I and ve. I not putting this person down I can appreciate what he's doing, but you haven't seen any guitarists lately that stand out without using a bar. but then again my influenza is having your scale players. Steve Howe, Al Di Meola, Michael Schenker, Rik Emmett and so on. I don't think Joe Bonamassa uses a bar on any of his guitars. can anybody relate to what I'm saying

    • @AlexRamosDrTaz
      @AlexRamosDrTaz 10 лет назад

      I understand what you mean. But having a whammy gives a player distinctive vibrato and radical pitch bending effects that would otherwise have to be manipulated electronically. I have just one guitar with a whammy, but at least it's one with the Ibanez Edge. :)

  • @paulvanzelst6141
    @paulvanzelst6141 10 лет назад +4

    Sorry guys. Great technician. Kudos for giving the shredding a crack. However there was absolutely NO dynamics. And the backing tracks sounded like some automated Yngwie signature ZOOM unit. When ya running dirt with that much gain, its hard to have hot/cold playing (dynamics). You are a excellent guitarist and can shred. But dude get some light n shade in yr playing. Thats the difference between a good guitarist and a brilliant one.

    • @EgoShredder
      @EgoShredder 7 лет назад

      I agree and I like his playing and phrasing from the first two Adagio albums. I tend to be more impressed by the acoustic guitar players, especially the Classically trained ones. They have to work really hard to create tones and dynamics, and yet some of them do this with real musicality. I'm not a fan of the modern Metal sound which to my ears sounds dry, thin, brittle and over distorted.
      Now if you want to hear a true genius at work with full dynamics, I would listen to Allan Holdsworth who sadly died in April 2017, and was also from my hometown of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. If you watch his live videos on RUclips, you will see him constantly adjusting his gain levels and everything else to extract as much expression as possible. He was a complete perfectionist and always searching for his best performance. The world's greatest most lauded guitarists of the last 50 years, all came forward to (a) pay for his funeral (b) say how in awe of Allan they were (c) they had no idea how the hell he did what he did (d) how his musical system worked.

Get the first 2 Adagio albums and figure out what style he's playing, and apreciate the genius in composing those, both are flawless (In a style you probably cannot comprehend).
