javier just posted this on facebook. pretty awesome piece

 

[Blasphemer]

Anyone else going to Buffalo?

I'm going to suck it up and make the 7 hour drive there for this.
YOU BEST BRING IT, TOSIN!

 

[Skyblue]

Small quick question- does anyone know if Tosin is self taught, or was he taught by a teacher? I'm referring to both music theory and technique.

and I know asking him will be most accurate, but I figured someone here might know, and It'll probably be faster this one if so.

IIRC he was self taught then went to college for music between Reflux and AAL... there's an interview linked in the thread somewhere that answers that

Awesome. I love Javier's jazzy style, hope i hear some more of that on AAL 2!

 

[davidengel]

Anyone coming to the Grand Rapids show?

This guy right here.

Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed it

 

[The Reverend]

I love the faces he makes. At times it appears that he's grimacing, evidently because this little piece is far below his unimaginably high standards. I definitely think he'll be able to contribute to AAL's next effort. I actually haven't seen much of his solo stuff, but this has made me a believer, for sure.

*jizz face*

really hope they get this stuff onto the next AAL

 

[mountainjam]

Just saw this on FB, honestly im not really feeling it

 

[Zei]

I really like it. His other upload is much better, though that's probably cause it's a full song haha

With the amount of class Javier and Tosin each play with, I think its safe to call them the Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra of guitar. Its pieces like this that make me want to take serious jazz lessons.

do it man, as long as you get a decent tutor you won't regret it. I can't help but prefer the other video he has floating around where he's playing the 8 string with the Q tuner. Unfortunately that video has some unwanted distortion and I think he overdoes it with the delay, but still a much nicer piece IMO.

 

[Deadnightshade]

I dig the way he finger picks very much his dynamics control is excellent

[etcetera]

Awesome, that was really nice.

Hey, anyone know what snare is used on the AAL album? Doesn't sound like a Superior Drum sample - sounds short and snappy, and sounds like the wires are off (which I don't think SD has). Anyone know? In particular, on "Behaving Badly", although I think the same snare is used throughout a lot of the album.

Thanks - didn't want to start a separate thread.

You might mean the sidestick of the snare on that album. It is REALLY snappy.

Maybe... I confess I'm a drum noob. Anyway, with some para-eq and compression, and playing with the mics, I got a snappy sound.

Thanks.

Just for the record, SD does have wires off. It's in the Tools options in the top right where you select brushes etc. If I remember correctly.
