Yes. Yes. You are inspiring and so is this piece. I've been playing it non-stop while doing my PhD work and it seems to be connecting me to all knowledge lol. Love your work xoxo from Canada
Only Mattias could get me to watch 20 minutes of a single song in one sitting. One of my favorite songs for it's emotional vibe changes and sheer creativity. Song is happy one moment, funny in the next, chill and relaxed then frustrated, and then calm and loving in the next. It's like a culmination of various moods throughout a person's week and it's super cool.
I often have music going in the background of whatever I'm doing, but I HAVE to watch Mattias. Can't simply have this playing. Need to take all the immense talent in. Beautiful.
Videos are cool but a different thing. I prefer his music direct on my giant home stereo. I notice nuances, the mix, more energy, the little things. I’ve never been blown away by IA video but I can be shocked by carefully listening. Some tunes are Like a drug. Like I drank 5 cups of coffee. Rabbit Hole for example. Insane.
Mind Blown with all of this stuff... I only had a peripheral view of what you were doing. Jesus Mattius you may be the most original talent out there... I like Buckethead but this has a totally different degree of musicality...it's classical in a completely modern way... BRILLIANT!!!!!! WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW...
Is there a way to just buy the song? I don't wanna spend 32€ just to get the digital download for that song... I mean - I do get more, but the song would be the reason to buy the package but I still refuse. especially when I don't need stripped versions nor the drones-stuff :D I could do a youtube-rip but that would feel shallow. I wanna pay for it.
Wow, thanks! Didn't look on iTunes *facepalm* Hope I don't bug you by suggesting sth. like bandcamp for future uploads. I can get real mp3s there which means I can have it on all of my devices. :) Still gonna buy this one on iTunes now though. All the best for you, Mattias and thanks for making such awesome, inspirational music!
Who knows ? He could as well do a first take, then fix a few mistakes in that long run with a few other takes. Noone would notice since the whole thing is mixed and edited. :)
A couple of years ago I went to a Steve Vai concert and this Swedish guy joined him on stage. If I make a long story short- after the concert it wasnt Steve Vai people talked about but this guy. He is like he came from another planet.
Seems IA thinks like a drummer, trapped in an elite guitar players body. How else do you explain these rhythmic journeys. Yngwie a polar opposite w different approach...Violin.

IA makes it look easy... until you try it yourself.

Scary good precision!
I canNOT get enough of this song. It goes right to the heart. Like POW.
I've never seen that tapping technique....
Masterfully reinventing the way you play guitar every time...
Truly a master!

He's a beautiful guy!
Well put

Love your music!
what a composition this is, such a pleasure.
Hardest song I ever tried to learn... XOXO IA.. 😄😄
Beautifully Unpredicted-Waayyy phrase of feeling Good ... So Beautiful 🔥
He is so creative!!! Love him he's great!!
One of the best things he's ever done!
Epic!! The whole world music history in one song!!! What a "complete artist" you are Master IA.
Inspiring as always IA!
I cannot stop listening to this tune...something about it just clicks within my dorsal fin.
exactly
Tis the season to be writing (end of semester...). Another masterpiece of yours that plays on repeat during the hardest writing times 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Mind Blown with all of this stuff... I only had a peripheral view of what you were doing. Jesus Mattius you may be the most original talent out there... I like Buckethead but this has a totally different degree of musicality...it's classical in a completely modern way... BRILLIANT!!!!!!
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW...
So creative. Thanks for sharing.
Prog rock at it's finest! Best piece I've heard in a long while.
Love this song!
some part remind me "deep umbra"
big up from france!
Deep Umbra as in Jonas Hellborg/Shawn Lane??? \m/
The "off dialogue" goes direct to the heart of any musician and it hurts 😄
I have to agree, enough with the voice sample. A few times maybe. but before and after every progression... it's hurting me too. Kick ass otherwise!!!
Lol its true... I visualise the leader of the band constantly telling you that dx
amazing work again IA ...watching for the 3rd time in a row ...great great great 54
Almost 20 minutes! Geez that's impressive, just mind blowing
Mattias IA Eklundh, do you sell
Growing Your Own Moustache, music only versions?
Hello Mattias! Can you please tell me how you record the guitar? Amplifier -> attenuator -> sound card? Or do you record sound with a microphone?
Hey Aleksey, on this tune it my Laney Ironheart 120w and a Shure SM57 into an Art MP tube and onward to the audio interface. 👍
Beautiful.
0:13 You just did literal "finger tapping" lol. I love it ;)
Just wanna say: Thanks for what you're doing! XOXO from cold russia!
cyka blayt \m/
your music is great for concentration, i love it^^
BiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiG fan of ya´ dear Mattias,.. :) get soo much inspiration,..
Absolutely amazing. You´re a genious man!!
New Mattias?! LET'S GO!
lets take a min to digest this man's genius for compositions!
so cool!!!
A collaboration with Fredrik Thordendal is what I need from Mattias
Jake check out 'Friedrich's Wahnbriefe' off of 'Freak Guitar - The Smorgasboard'
youre the man
Really creative percussive technique at the beginning! Never seen that before but it makes so much sense
Come to northern VA man....please!!!!!! Do a clinic up here!!! BROST!

Awesum bro. Complicated yet so compelling n catchy asfuc !
Keep ernlit !
Keep er lit !!!!
Oh yes, love to see you again.
great work! your amazing, youve been a huge influence on me as a newer guitarist
Love this song O.o
Me too, Mattias. Me too.
Brilliant !!!
He should be sponsored by L'Oreal
Ouais c'est marrant,mais écoute ce qu'il fait et particulièrement Art metal avec Hellborg,les frères Johanson et Selvaganesh...
Up here we call it THOREAL...
Because he's worth it?
So freaking sick.....
what is your tshirt zappa?
There are a lot of Vai-isms in your lead playing, but I think I prefer your Vai-isms to Vai's Vai-isms.
You recorded the whole thing in one take? Or you previously recorded it and then had the video done after that?
so totally diggin that shirt your wearing
Wow... All in one take as well?
Who knows ? He could as well do a first take, then fix a few mistakes in that long run with a few other takes. Noone would notice since the whole thing is mixed and edited. :)
Yeah I think only the improvised sections are actually recorded/included, you can tell because riffs n stuff are double tracked
A couple of years ago I went to a Steve Vai concert and this Swedish guy joined him on stage. If I make a long story short- after the concert it wasnt Steve Vai people talked about but this guy. He is like he came from another planet.
I had a brief email exchange with Mattias, it's all live/recorded in one take, but he mixes in his live take with the previously recorded audio
Super Mattias !!
Sample from Scrooged?
Love from India
A masterpiece
...what would happen if you "put" two geniuses together?
Mr.Mattias ladies and gentlemen!!!
Grazie.
If I understood music as well as what is displayed is this video I would want to live forever just write music!
🤘❤
The ON was my fav and OFF too.. lol
Sam's morning words: "watch Off Tias". He loves you.
I love him back! Thanks for watching/listening. ♥️
Awesome style. He have a original style that nobady have.
We have to create our style rather than mimic Mattias's style.
Carnatic Classical rhythms !!
got anything a little bit longer?
Absolutely! Check out the song On... :)
@@mattias_ia_eklundh 😂 absolute legend.
Freak kitchen is the best!!!!
Super guitariste,excellent compositeur/arrangeur!!!Écoutez Art Metal avec Hellborg,Johanson brothers et Selvaganesh.
The lyrics please
Not so much lyrics. You'll figure it out. :)
wow this is great :D it can't be easy to make an interesting 20 min song but mattias did it anyway
Wow
Hell yea I'm definitely off haha
5 people who dislike this video? What are they thinking? This guy is amazing!
wow
unique style
man i love you!I wish you were my dad.
Son, I am dissappoint
genius
In spite of being some sort of experimental track, it's still fucking tasty!!
G E N I U S!
Muito Obrigado meu amigo Suéco, admirado daqui do Brasil!
hey Matties, if it weren't for your stripped tracks, i would not be able to solo as I can. :) Also, thall!!
12:36 Straws Pulled At Random :O
when you listen to this guy music during breakfast it means that he's really doing something right, or maybe I am terribly OFF.
I know it's sounds like a cliche, but you are a fucking genius!
Hehe, It's all about me, now: I "seem little off", and "look bored"))
I am sure all that dislike button happened by mistake, What a Gem !!
Sir could you move your giant hair so I can read your tee shirt please. I thought I saw a Frank Zappa reference. BTW love your work.
"I STILL MISS YOU FRANK ZAPPA" sniff, sniff...true :(
20 минут расколбаса!
Am I the only one here hearing an harmonizer of some kind in the riffs?
Intro you look like ur doing the Eminem way of sticking your middle finger up! XD
You need to grow your own mustache.

hm... mattias you seem a little off!
