Travis Hunt RUclips PhD I didn’t learn anything unfortunately. I’m 100% self taught and I’ve always held my pick like that. Helps me personally with pinch harmonics and tremolo picking
I talked to Tobi for a good 10-15 minutes before their show last night in Ft. Lauderdale, FL (they opened for Whitechapel) - what a nice, down to Earth guy. For someone so insanely talented, he was so approachable and as humble as can be. Really glad I had the opportunity to talk to him! Long live Archspire 🤘🤘
this band is so tight live. Everybody is always on their game which is amazing seeing how every one of their songs is hard as hell to play. I've been playing close to 16 years now and I still can't get down a full archspire song. And then you got Nick Jonas screwing up a 5 note solo hahahahaha. these guys deserve so oooooooo much and I hope they get more success then they ever dreamed of
Alice Mason I second that! Super friendly dudes. Have had great conversation with their drummer Spencer. We shared some beers and he gave me some of his broken cymbals.
It's true, which makes them probably the greatest fucking band ever. I saw em last weekend & Tobi was running the merch table by himself all night as he was playing guitar and warming up. All smiles man, it was amazing to see.
Tobi and Dean are both incredibly talented players. Thank you for Relentless Mutation that has been my favorite album since I got it. Can't wait for the next one.
This video is awesome in so many ways, the camera, the production, the guitar, the guitarist.... so much awesome. The sweeps are freaking insane, but 1:59 looks almost even more intense. I don't play the guitar so I don't really know for sure.
Flawless. One the very few true organic tech guitarsists, and not guitar pro, human hand-syncing flesh slaves I see everywhere. Much inspiration to be had from this band
I was never into this Kind of music, but the technically involved is impressive. Great musicianship and interesting "reversed" picking technique as well.
@@Raittarian what he mentions has nothing to do with pick slanting. Morelly is angling the pick upwards (to the neck) in tremolo and in sweep picking and donwnwards (to the bridge) when down picking. Pick slanting is angle up (to the ceiling) or down (to the floor) related to the perpendicular plane of the strings
i do the same thing with my downpicks. it gives the downpicks a more full sound and i always accidentally gallop if i downpick with the pick being slanted anyways, so it sort of acts like a safety net.
this started and I'm like 'this is average riffing'. a minute later...and wow I don't know if ive seen sweeps that fluent, or left hand technique that slick. dang
Wow! I am not a fan of this kind of metal, and I'm not a guitar player(I play bass)but this guy is a BEAST! Chops for days! That was a clinic. I also dig the Vader(I have 3 Vader VB5 basses and one VB4 on order!). Well played, sir...;-)
its cool how tobi and dean play different stringed guitars, really helps to seperate the different parts they play. Canadian tech deth at its finest. been a fan since they opened up shop. KEEP FUCKING CRUSHING BOYS. those fucking pinch harmonics are so sikkkkk
I've considered getting a fanned fret for a while, but I tried one in the store once and stuff like sweeping just felt too awkward compared to a normal guitar. If anyone here owns a fanned fret guitar, how long did it take to get used to sweeping and other shreddy stuff on it?
Everyone in Archspire are incredibly talented super musicians
They are like machines
@@jameshang673 They are machines
I just wish they didn't have vocals. Really, can't hear and enjoy their music because of it
@@FockeWulfFW200 that sucks, personally I love the vocals
Except for Oli, can’t play any instrument.
Holy fuck. Tobi and I used to skate and play guitar way way back in the day. It’s insane how good he is now. Hell yeah dude.
It's pretty damn impressive how fast he does those diminished runs.
Brittany Branton i think it's without a doubt metal guitarist need to know diminished anything lmao
I am impressed he can hold the pick like he does. It looks so awkward
@@XenoTravis it's actually pretty comfortable for me, and it helps me play faster, so I'd say it's pretty good
@@mutilated679 I feel like the traditional way would be faster but some people learn the non traditional way at first and stick with it

yea theyre mad cool. that was a great show - got a VIP section seat for it - it was sick lol
@@pungentzeus I think we may have spoken at the end of the set before Whitechapel came on? I was wearing a Gorod shirt
dawg if someone came up to you and said sick gorod shirt i guarantee you it was me hahaha. i was pretty drunk@@icetraex
@pungentzeus hahaha yeah we definitely talked then, that's what's up man hope you're doing well!
"Alright guys, listen. This is a blues riff in B- watch me for the changes, and try and keep up, okay."
Syris of Lemuria f***k yeah back to the future
You're kids are gonna love it
nice meme
Yep this is the equivalent, this guys is from the future
"and always remember, less is more!"
DAT switching between neck and bridge pickup in the sweeping riff, though :O
Lol
Bro I know!!!! Haha gotta really watch for it to catch it
Kiesel guitars man. and of cuz, mad skills!!!
this is the most beautiful playthrough and detailed playing i've seen
FallenWolfera and he dont make it look any easier 😑
Lol I'd hope so it's his music
Trujillo - obscura
@@Hadri_ART i came here to say the same

I always wondered what they think when composing such complex songs considering they have to perform live
Stay Tech.
Didn't expect to see you here
The album's amazing tho
I love archspire and everyone in it. i wanna see em live soooooooooooooo bad
They're every bit as good as their recordings. Nicest guys, too.
Alice Mason I second that! Super friendly dudes. Have had great conversation with their drummer Spencer. We shared some beers and he gave me some of his broken cymbals.

saw them last saturday, pretty awesome facebook.com/events/1964476387156248/
One of the best bands I've seen live and that's before I even properly got into them. Bought some merch instantly after their set
Tobi and Dean are such a sick match. Can't wait to hear the next album whenever that's ready!
that fretboard is the sexiest thing ive seen.
Tobi and Dean are both incredibly talented players. Thank you for Relentless Mutation that has been my favorite album since I got it. Can't wait for the next one.
Song started and I was like "sounds fun."after like 1min I was completely blown away
Damn, this video has like every bit of detailed sharpened. I think I saw an atom...
I thought the same...what an amazing recording. Not sure what they did differently but holy moly it looked very very good.
I noticed the lighting was brighter and they may have actually used a sharpener in post.
i think it because they convert the video from really hi res to this (1080p)
Man the pickup switching between sweeps, crazy!
Wow!! Just got into these guys..cant stop listening now..
Such a talented band.
The echo on the pinch harmonics is awesome.
Dude is insanely good. Throwing the tone switch in the middle of those already crazy hard riffs to accent those sweeps, just unreal man.
Don’t know much about guitars, but that note that echoes at 2:32 is brain piercing . I love it
It's called a Pinch Harmonic
the way he holds the pick and switches the angle is impressive

This is a masterpiece in so many ways...
Tobi and Dean are Monsters, love to see them playing...Very interesting his picking techniques
What a beast! Archspire rules and so does that VM7!

This guy is Super Human , I'm always amazed what Human beings or capable of!!!!!

Damn this is sick. The angle he uses for tremolo picking is weird looking. But hey it works for him. Archspire owns!
@ändrew Salter but he tilts it the wrong way!
If you really wanna dig check the topic pick slanding... it's all about the Malmsteen technique
@@pistachio775 how can it be wrong when it works? Lmao, thats some close minded statement for playing an instrument.
I slant this way as well when trem picking.
This way is so good in general but I just hate how one has to flip it over for pinch harmonics.
The way he tilts the pick is amazing I love his technique
Fantastic song!
Talent in its purest form
I'm happy for these guys ,they write great stuff and they have a killer guitar endorsement.
Este es un guitarrista de otro planeta!!
Phenomenal guitars and an even better guitarist.
Cool. Nice diminished arps, reminds me of Decapitated
great work i only wish i could bass like this guy
Woww so cool !!! Every members of that band are very talented !!
True piece of art very unique with an intricate design and I like the guitar too .
Supersonic fingers, amazing skills !
Wonderful, this is such a great song. It would be great to see the other guitar, too
skip brandon there is a play through of it. Just google it. Awesome album!
Everyone in this band is incredible, he makes this look so easy lol
This picking technic is perfect
Damn this dude is solid! Nice work Tobi!
Wow! I am not a fan of this kind of metal, and I'm not a guitar player(I play bass)but this guy is a BEAST! Chops for days! That was a clinic. I also dig the Vader(I have 3 Vader VB5 basses and one VB4 on order!). Well played, sir...;-)
I've seen Archspire five times and they're only getting tighter live.
There’s gonna be a time where these guys are gonna play at 600 bpm and still be as tight as they were at 300 bpm
@@journeythecrab493 I see what you did there
Inconceivably good.
What sacares.me most is how the hell he can change the pick angle so dramatically at that speed being efficient and clean all the time. Incredible
swaping the pickups between the sweep and the rythmic, so nice
That was fantastic!
Fantastique!! Génial!!!!!
I saw him in week in Prague... Amazing guitarist!!!!!!!!!!!
ok is no one gonna talk about how this is the best showcase of how insane his picking technique is lol
Great music song playing guitar 👍
The Sweeps!
Love this song. Sick playing,!
Them sweeps though
Glad you choose this song, the older playthrough with two guitars was good but it was hard to understand what you were actually playing
nice to see pick slanting being used so fluently, that’s a technique i’ve never seen used other than by the Archspire bois
I saw many things, pick slanting was not one of them 🤔
@@GeorgeTsiros may as well be wrong lol
My dream guitar !!!! One day if i am lucky i will be able to get my hands on one here in South Africa
Awesome dude!
Exceptional !!!!!
Dat Battle Royale shirt tho.
very impressive right hand technik also
You rock vin !
I've seen them live yesterday. he had buckeye top wood vader that time. it wasnt multiscale as well
its cool how tobi and dean play different stringed guitars, really helps to seperate the different parts they play. Canadian tech deth at its finest. been a fan since they opened up shop. KEEP FUCKING CRUSHING BOYS. those fucking pinch harmonics are so sikkkkk
Holly shit ! the beast is born on this song
Dope
2:04 gotta hurt lmao
Best band in the world
Damnnnnnnnn!!!! Great song aswell!
Aaand now I'm going to work on Symphony of Destruction.
Awesome
Alright, Canada. I forgive you now
Australia needs archspire. Ill buy every ticket.
2:55 I doubt these guys are influenced by BTBAM at all, but that reminds me of them so much
"When I strum like this, it activates world domination mode"
Although archspire is not my favorite band this song is in my top 3 songs from all time
Thanks. I'd like to burn my guitar now.
@kieselguitars Does Tobi get the thinner profile neck on his headless guitars?
Brutal!! eres un virtuoso
Tobi, you're the fucking MAN!
Great play! awesome \m/
Sick!!!!!!!!!!
What's the merch guy doing playing guitar?
Bestiale potente!!!👍👍👍👍
Wow, the rest of the guitar seems to be in another dimension..
that's real fucking clean
these guys are breathing much needed new life into death metal
Tobi is the tap master
How do I get my pinky and ring finger to be as smooth as that.
Is that a defleshed-fast forward limited edition t shirt??
That intro riff reminds me a lot of thrash bands like Stone and Annihilator.
can you write frets of swipping?
Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus. This guy's right hand was a gift from God. His timing and pick attack are IMPECCABLE!!
* polite clap *
;o)
I've considered getting a fanned fret for a while, but I tried one in the store once and stuff like sweeping just felt too awkward compared to a normal guitar. If anyone here owns a fanned fret guitar, how long did it take to get used to sweeping and other shreddy stuff on it?
