Dominick Guerra the hardest part about the intro there’s a double power chord arpeggio that you have to use your index to middle then move your index to the B on the 3rd string
@@survivalstyle9228 probably one of the most difficult learning curves I’ve ever had on guitar but once you get it down its amazing to play. And show off
Back then, all we had for metal was Duncan's and emgs. We didnt start having all thee choices of nice pickups until 10 years ago. These emg vidz are right before the pickup industry expanded.
Few bands can have every member of their band play with impeccable technicality and still have listenable music. The biggest two that come to mind are Rush and Scale the Summit
Listening to this song makes me feel like I've just gone through a horrible time in my life and I'm coming through on the other side and everything is getting better
Great piece. One of StS's best and excellent hiking/traveling music. To those saying that, "this is not very technical" or "this is so easy", it isn't about using every trick in the book to make the song better. It's simply about making a great piece of music, to which they have definitely succeeded. Also, SPOILER ALERT: musicians who put out albums have limits to their technical prowess just like you and I.
Jordan Mandas I very much agree. There's a huge misconception in the metal community that speed + complexity = challenging. Listeners often neglect aspects of intricacy, fluidity, pacing, and patience. (that last part being my biggest obstacle as a guitarist)
+Gregory G. Dude, I saw the patience thing for the first time myself the other day. I taught the other guitarist of my band a simple as pie riff that had accents on the off beats at the end of the riff so it had a bit of a funk vibe to it, and he just simply COULD NOT play it. He HAD to hit the beat. I constantly showed him the right way to do it but it's like his body wouldn't let him take that extra split second to rest. Really weird experiencing something like that firsthand.
+Anthony Nelson that's why I practice with a metronome over as many different time signatures as much as I can, even practicing simple exercises in this way can teach your hands to move more fluidly over unorthodox beats and timings. especially if you start at the slowest pace tolerable over each sig you decide to work with. maybe mentioning this to him can help him learn those riffs that incorporate interesting and/or procussive angles a little more comprehensively.
Dude. Who could ever say this is easy. I quit trying to cover this song just looking at the tab of the intro lol. Nonetheless, music is not about techinical difficult. For me, it’s about touching someone’s soul in its deepest part.
My new favorite StS song. Hell, my new favorite song period. I'm so happy I learned of this group a couple of years ago. I feel like a better person for having heard their work, and am grateful I've been allowed to bask in it's glow. Mr. Letchford and company have a lifelong fan in me.
I bought 2 of their tabs book and felt really good buying it. If you like a band, supporting it is the best feeling ever. Plus I really like the fact that you learn the song it is meant to be played. I will definitely buy this tab book as well.
I totally forgot this existed then found it on an old playlist with barely anything else on it. Today is a good day! Just wish they'd shown Chris playing the intro!
I just want you to know, Chris and Travis, that you two are my main provider of inspiration now a days. I bought your tab book, and currently learning this song. It's proving to be a hassle and a challenge, but seeing the flow and how easy you guys do it, I'm encouraged to continue. Thanks for making amazing music.
I must say this is very good. I'm not usually into this kind of music but the atmosphere he creates with the effects and choices of notes is incredible, it almost takes you to another dimension. Amazing precision and expertise of playing. Could listen to this over and over again.
So melodic i love. Everything about this son is creative and soft nothing rough but beautiful in a sence. Hats off to you my friend you did a great job.
This song is so breath taking that it seems like it never ends. After a few seconds I kept looking at the minutes to see if it's even moving. It is moving, but doesn't feel like it. Seems to stop/slow down time. Take in every part of this song
It's like Joe Satriani's Midnight but all stacked fifths and a different time signature. Shows you how far ahead of the game Joe was since he recorded it 37 years ago.
Fast? Shredders have their own idols and heroes. Chris L. plays with accuracy, melody, and a wonderful talent for feeling the scales. My compliments to EMG and Chris for showing us this beautiful talent. If there are more guitarists who play similarly, they are welcome to put up their music. I would listen eagerly. Moar i say.
I'm here to see what he does at the beginning, they only showed a tiny portion of it (bastards!), but I stayed 'til the end 'cause this song is fucking ethereal!
No puedo creerlo! Es Sorprendente Ver la ejecución de tan bella melodía, y el fingertap WOW. Me encantan los efectos que utiliza: el Flanger, chorus, reverb, delay, wah, etc... Simplemente genial.
Chris is no Tosin Abasi, Nor is he a Guthrie Govan or Paul Masvidal. I feel he has taken all 3 and made them all of his own in STS :) Long Live Scale The Summit.
Just to add onto this discussion, I remember hearing in an interview awhile ago too that Chris even stated that they wanted a simpler approach to the riffs going from Monument to Carving Desert Canyons. I know that's awhile ago, but since they made the effort to simplify song structures, I think it worked out better for them. It's not very often you see a band like this. I think their music is gorgeous and it's really inspiring to hear these beautiful melodies in just a four piece.
Well said... Big Rush fan here too. Just saw Scale this weekend in Baltimore with my son ( "Alex", yes after Lerxst) and WOW did they destroy it... Best chops and guitar melodies I've heard since Holdsworth. Intronaut headlined and we're superb but Scale really took my breath away as a fellow guitarist. Cheers!
I wish the intro was filmed as well...
im sure its really challenging to play and wont sound perfect lol
It's to beautiful for eyes...... he didn't want to melt our eyes.
Chris does a nice demo here th-cam.com/video/hygI00u6RZs/w-d-xo.html

One of the crowning achievements of the entire instrumental metal movement over the past decade.
Everytime i think i am proving to be a player, i run across something like this that knocks the wind out of my sail.
I know the feels:(
Am I the only one frustrated that the intro has no actual footage of this guy playing his part? Same with the bassist it kills me man...
He gatekeeping😂
This guy is a genius. A storyteller.
100% talent!
Emanuele Mazzoni he really truly amazing whats in a person
*100% skill, trained and honed through years of unrelenting practice
@@beredetump1635 of course man👍
talent... you know that you spit every professional whatever in the face, when you say its talent and not hard work?...
At this moment in time, EMG had Chris, Tosin, and Devin perform live songs in their studio. Talk about the roster.
Back then, all we had for metal was Duncan's and emgs. We didnt start having all thee choices of nice pickups until 10 years ago. These emg vidz are right before the pickup industry expanded.
this song is like a breath of fresh air
This is so accurate
This song reminds me of looking at my daughter right after she was born :,)
Kinnzie Martin Oh sure, rub it in my face that I don't have functional ovaries.
Sorry I didn't mean to "trigger" you
***** It's okay, I actually just found out that men aren't supposed to have ovaries, so my situation is perfectly normal. Kisses!
+Kinnzie Martin emotional song and emotional story. I'm gonna cry :'(
+Kinnzie Martin Inspiring?
By far one of their most well written songs.
I do not deserve to hear such beauty
dude..I was honestly listening to the bass the whole time. Love the lines he adds. Really motivating to what I like to do.

The progression from 2:00 - 3:00 is absolutely beautiful.

It's 2022 and this still blow my mind.
makes me wanna play a strandberg now
Feel u
its awesome :)
Remember: the guitarist makes the guitar, not vice versa. I've learned the hard way.
Archibald Turner what did you buy?
@@arseniitrifonov9015 right, better I go buy some new tools because i'm going diy now.
2:10 the delay melody is so bucketheadish
Reminds me of anything off Colma
You guys know any such similar melodious instrumental music
Buckethead electric tears
The bass in this music is so great! The bassist should be recording this video along with C. Letchford!
He has quite a few play through videos of Scale The Summit, including this song! His name is Mark Michell
Tda semana tenho q ouvir esse som..
Amazing!!! Easy and gentle with every finger stroke and move. Breathtaking and simply beautiful!!

one of the most wonderful songs in life
I love that part from 3:22-3:30
the slide sounds so pretty with the delay
Best part
StS was in my city playing a show when I left for vacation,
Cmon!
This is perhaps the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
I would absolutely love to play drums in a band like this. Perfectly progressive.
I just want you to know, Chris and Travis, that you two are my main provider of inspiration now a days. I bought your tab book, and currently learning this song. It's proving to be a hassle and a challenge, but seeing the flow and how easy you guys do it, I'm encouraged to continue. Thanks for making amazing music.
The intro of this song is simply mindblowing I wish we would get to see Chris play it all!
What a beautiful song... and badass guitarist
I stumbled upon this band last night, have yet to listen to anything else since lmao.
I must say this is very good. I'm not usually into this kind of music but the atmosphere he creates with the effects and choices of notes is incredible, it almost takes you to another dimension. Amazing precision and expertise of playing. Could listen to this over and over again.
that tone with the delay is so beautiful
The intro is so sick. I love the song as a whole, but i wouldnt complain if it was just that the whole time
Brilliant composition! I also think the album artwork fits perfectly, surreal.
This is almost euphoric. I love it.
Oh my!He's just gold
Fantastic, Chris! Brilliant and feels so free!
So melodic i love. Everything about this son is creative and soft nothing rough but beautiful in a sence. Hats off to you my friend you did a great job.
Yes. A million times yes.
I love it more and more each time i listen to it
chris is a talented dude, he deserves all the success he gets
shredds me tears of joy every time :,)
First time hearing them and already in love with just hearing the intro.
I discovered this band now and I have nothing to say, just love.
I want to see that intro so bad, I wish it showed the EMG portion at the end, that part seriously put me in a trance when I first heard it
This song is so breath taking that it seems like it never ends. After a few seconds I kept looking at the minutes to see if it's even moving. It is moving, but doesn't feel like it. Seems to stop/slow down time. Take in every part of this song
Ha, awesome. Can't wait to open for this band in a few days.
It's like Joe Satriani's Midnight but all stacked fifths and a different time signature. Shows you how far ahead of the game Joe was since he recorded it 37 years ago.
This would be cooler if the bass player were next to him
***** good comment!

My brain can't even comprehend what he's doing.
That is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.... Love the harmonic run at 4:00!
Who needs vocals when you have these Melodies!
Man, this is great! The feel of this song is astonishing
Fantastic guitarist!
This song inspires me
Pure bliss!
its pleasure in my ears
Gorgeous ideas
this really fascinated me
amazing performance! really wish they would have played this at South by so What this year but oh well. glad i got to meet them :))
Man you cut out the fucking intro :l I wanted to see how he does it.
+Ollie De Bidaph there's a tutorial for it

such a beautiful style, love the new album
Beautiful piece, as one of the comments below mentioned, it's like Durutti Column taken to the next level.
Just wanna say.... Epic ! Can't wait to see you next week :)
I agree, it has been on the summit from the start.
YEEAAAAAAHHH
Wow man that was beautiful.
Amazing...
Oh man I want that guitar.
The backing from 4:19 onwards is flipping unreal.
This is the best part of the song for sure.
soooooo good
I love axe fx... love emmm
This is so fucking beautiful. Makes me happy that I play the guitar
It's nice actually being able to hear the base.
Oh man, Focus and Unquestionable Presence... top 2 favorite albums. Doesn't get much better than that in my opinion
great sound because of great playing.
This is so awesome!!
just a good song dude
amazing
that was beautiful
The whole Coma Album is reverb/delay heaven man
This is beautiful guitar playing! Very impressive and inspiring.
I saw these guys last night in Denver for the first time. they seriously blew my fucking mind. 6 to midnight lol

Very nice! I like the atmosphere of this song!
Que timbre... fenomenal!!!
I liked it before I watched cause you already know your'e in for a treat
Обожаю эту песню😊полюбил с первой секунды, как услышал😊
Well said... Big Rush fan here too. Just saw Scale this weekend in Baltimore with my son ( "Alex", yes after Lerxst) and WOW did they destroy it...
Best chops and guitar melodies I've heard since Holdsworth.
Intronaut headlined and we're superb but Scale really took my breath away as a fellow guitarist. Cheers!
