It’s crazy how you can hear javier’s technical experience with classical guitar. His tone is incredible and his dexterity and ability to limit string noise is blowing me away!
Roco Cerecer aid love Javier to do his own spanish guitar style album. Theres two videos of him on youtube playing spanish guitar and its so peaceful to listen to.
Tosin is no slouch when it comes to finger picking...he studied classical guitar in college. Javier studied classical *and* flamenco for *many* years. His picado and rasgueo techniques are obviously going to be more polished than Tosin's. They're both phenomenal musicians and human beings either way.🙌🏾❤
You should check out Shubh Saran if you like Indian music fused with jazz rock fusion. The Indian flavor just adds so much spice. Also a good recommendation if you want more time signatures, but also generally more chill grooves.
@@Stefanofazio98 They played it in Anaheim at the Observatory on their second time through on the Joy of Motion tour, it was awesome. They actually played almost all the songs on the album they didn't play the first time.
Can't confirm, sounded amazing right from the start, but I did hear playing god a million times before and that has a very similar vibe. Would not be surprised if Tim was in part influenced by this amazing performance.
[insert obligatory shitty response completely not understanding the humor behind it] [Reply to your response with an insult to belittle you cause i'm better]
These guys are insanely skilled. I gotta say that Javier’s playing really shines while using classical guitar technique. His playing even looks less labored than Tosins on classical guitar. Both are absolutely geniuses though.
I love Fishman piezo pickups, my acoustic Ibanez came equipped with Fishman this is the best sounding guitar that I ever heard! Big bows to the engineers, great work! Keep on doing what you are doing
It's music like this that makes me never want to learn guitar. I never want to lose the magic of listening to something this amazing. Once you know the magician's secrets, the magic goes away and is replaced by technique, that is something I would never dream of doing to myself because of music like this. Makes me want to cry. Amazing work.
I wouldn't let that stop you, if you really want to learn guitar. I've been playing over 20 years and although some of the magic goes away, you have a deeper appreciation in the long run.
@@firkinja oh nvm your a drummer you get it LOL . Yes Matt Garstka is a beast. I wonder if someone who doesn’t play any kind of instrument could dig AAL
It always seemed to me that this band is interesting musician personal collision: Javier obviously is a classical-taught guitar player who later started playing metal music - not talking crap about Javier - he probably needed to learn how to play that sort of music because he's more about traditional jazz guit playin and Tosin has more punk/rock influences first playing Nirvana and stuff then switching to shredding and only years later joining Berkeley-school to discover all the music theory territory. Well in the end both of them came to one point but which is curious from totally opposite directions, almost diametrical.
1:19 you can see Tosin mouthing with the notes he’s about to play. He’s fucking unbelievable, and I don’t think anyone will ever one-up him in terms of raw prowess
Well bro, I do that every time too and it gives me confidence that since Tosin and Javier do it, I wouldn't look like a retard doing it while I'm vibing.
It’s just classical Latin guitar played as Brazilian jazz the way a math rock band would. It usually works that way like a kind of band would play something that’s another sound the way another type of band would. For example mathcore is a jazz band playing metal the way a hardcore band would.
Perfect song for beginners.
Adhitya Resna if there are any guitar teachers give your students this song for music theory hehe
@@jameslyddall sarcasm?
@CanCer no it's sarcasm
Kkkkkkkk Awesome.... ...... ; (
Absolutely! I mean..
Playing technical djent
With 7 strings..
On classical guitar..
Javier: Master of every guitar technique that exists.
Tosin: Master of every guitar technique that DOESN'T exist.
This is gold
Actually tho 😂 it's even better because you can totally see how they've learned to feed off each others' style over the years
You have to break your right thumb first to play any Tosin's part
So well put. :))))
LMAO
It’s crazy how you can hear javier’s technical experience with classical guitar. His tone is incredible and his dexterity and ability to limit string noise is blowing me away!
That guy's got absolute control over the instrument with no effort. I always was amazed by them, but now even more if that's even possible.
Javier's playing was tight as hell. That's pro level for ya! :D
You can tell he really knows what he’s doing by his right hand technique. Incredibly bent, controlled fingers.
...What he said.
It's a nylon guitar not a classical guitar .. and yes javier is a gifted man , bless ya ll !
Tosin's playing is awesome, but Javier owned the song
Roco Cerecer aid love Javier to do his own spanish guitar style album. Theres two videos of him on youtube playing spanish guitar and its so peaceful to listen to.
Well, he actually has a group, Mestis, whos full of those sweet clean tones
the way tosin looked at him at 1:58 lol
@@mightycabbage does tosin have a side band like javier? Or is AAL Tosins band
@@anthonyjones3835 he used to it was called tram. Javier was part of it though. It was more jazz based.
Javier's beard is fantastic.
Right?! The lack of appreciation bothers me. It's literally perfect
Very ancient greekish tbh haha. A God for sure
Javier is criminally underrated. His playing is flawless and his technique is so tight and effortless.
Completely and 100% agree with your comment! Can't believe I'm the first to reply and say that.
Javier is so bad ass
1:53 Virgin Tosin vs Chad Javier with the picking style lmao
Could have been a tone choice, foo
I was indeed thinking Javier has an overall better technique than Tosin when it comes to classical guitar picking.
Tosin is no slouch when it comes to finger picking...he studied classical guitar in college.
Javier studied classical *and* flamenco for *many* years. His picado and rasgueo techniques are obviously going to be more polished than Tosin's.
They're both phenomenal musicians and human beings either way.🙌🏾❤
Chaz Teal watching these guys is always is inspiring
Virgin comparing 2 guitarists vs Chad 2 masters of their craft making great music
Javier's technique is insane
I absolutely love Javier's latin influence in AAL.
You should check out Shubh Saran if you like Indian music fused with jazz rock fusion. The Indian flavor just adds so much spice. Also a good recommendation if you want more time signatures, but also generally more chill grooves.
I feel like this song is so severely underrated for the live setlist
i think it's just impractical to bring on tour 2 classic guitars that are being used just for this song.
@@Stefanofazio98 They played it in Anaheim at the Observatory on their second time through on the Joy of Motion tour, it was awesome. They actually played almost all the songs on the album they didn't play the first time.
I saw them play it for their 10th anniversary tour, tosin had that guitar on a stand next to him and switched for it.
Oof, Javier is putting on a show here. I'm going to be watching this one for years.
Still watching!
@@oh033 me too!
Reminder to come watch it again. You're welcome
They're quite a team.
I love how this song just sounds weird the first time you listen to it then you realize just how unbelievably good it is after a few more listens
It's not good, it's perfect
@@prodbyjeremiah97 I stand corrected :D
lol took the words out of my mouth
Most of AAL are exactly like that, probably it's because the tempo is always broken
Can't confirm, sounded amazing right from the start, but I did hear playing god a million times before and that has a very similar vibe. Would not be surprised if Tim was in part influenced by this amazing performance.
Great warm up before smoke on the water
2:37 my favorite part
it's like math rock but better :)
spanish flamenco breakdown
Lydian
OMG, they still can djenting with classical guitar
*Grandpa guitars
Animals as leaders reminds us that in the chaos and trial that is life, there is always beauty to behold.
JAVIER FLEXIN' ON US
I'll slap my nan for every day that passes without an Apeirophobia playthrough
This! I want one so bad.
I hope your nan slaps you back. Just like Tosin slaps that guitar
Seeing Tosin playing a classical guitar really puts things in perspective as far as his style/influences go.
The way Javier flicks those fingers while playing some chords, beautiful!
best outro in the history of music.
Wouldn’t it be great if AAL did an all acoustic album or EP at some point?
i wish they'd play apeirophobia live
@@harshgarrettto be fair that song is fucking crazy, I wonder if they ever really practice it.
dude they're AAL all their songs are crazy hahaha@@tiaraguy7705
Hopin for an acoustic/unplugged AAL album since 2012... Still got faith!
I'll add a new Mestis album to this wish. (If you don't know Mestis, you're welcome for introducing you. It's Javier's solo project.)
God, the nylon strings lend themselves so well to this song.
A beautiful Dual the two together make. Pushing and inspiring one another while opening the windows for us all to watch. \m/
2:21 My favorite phrase in the entire song
1:08 That´s what I call feel the music
This is on the level of some genius classical music. Unbelievable.
Djamenco = Djent + Flamenco
I was thinking djazzical
Fladjenco?
The outro is what heaven sounds like
This is the most I ever enjoyed animals as leaders 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
listen to their second album
This song is really underappreciated.
I was waiting for that outro... It is so beautiful! :-)
I really love Tosin, but Javier is a badass guitarist as well and constantly overlooked.
I saw Javier perform for his project Mestis in Montreal some 5 years ago, no words.
Amazing🥴 my favorite animals song ever, and perhaps my favorite song ever!
Tosin: [ I'm Chillin' ][ I'm Trying Hard ]
Javier: [ I'm Chillin' ]
Pretty good, I’m not a fan of the vocals though
I know right, the vocals always annoy me too
at least the lyrics are decent
[insert obligatory shitty response completely not understanding the humor behind it] [Reply to your response with an insult to belittle you cause i'm better]
Really poor written lyrics.
The vocals in this song are fuckings
MASTERPIECE
Javier sounds sooo clean. It's just absurd!
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL
These guys are insanely skilled. I gotta say that Javier’s playing really shines while using classical guitar technique. His playing even looks less labored than Tosins on classical guitar. Both are absolutely geniuses though.
One of the best songs on the joy of motion
I don’t think I have ever seen both Javier and tosin play acoustic together. Always a treat to watch you guys play.
javier is crazy good
This is ridiculously good
Javier is so good!
Reyes y Abasi as leaders!!!!
Two brothers performing i love it!
I will try to play it by watching a lot of cover versions and by using my ears 🎸🔥.
I usually go to polyphia playing God then come here to finish off.
This is superb.love this band man...... but damn that added solo was just right and fit nicely .love this arrangement
Javier Reyes is King!
That outro brings us somewhere everytime
Gorgeous guitars, playing on point: good job Animals!
This is the best song ever.
So so good on those guitars.
Sounds magic!!
Javier's style is something i have always preferred just my opinion. Dont hate
Racist?
Deftones' Steph Carpenter: 😐 *goes back to 6 string*
😂😂😂
Also can't ignore the insane talent of Matt on drums on this song. 👏
absolutely beatuiful
Those are some gorgeous acoustic guitars
Javier’s like that uncle I never had.
Oops, I almost forgot to watch this today.
Love seeing Tosin play classical guitar don't want to miss out on any videos
I am looking at real masters of their profession here aren't I?
Love love love
I love Fishman piezo pickups, my acoustic Ibanez came equipped with Fishman this is the best sounding guitar that I ever heard! Big bows to the engineers, great work! Keep on doing what you are doing
What a Beautiful song.
Always love seeing an esp Ltd being played. I never knew they had a classical 7 string that's pretty dope

It makes me so happy people who don’t play guitar listen to AAL . I didn’t know they exist.
@@joshalicea9870 I’ve played drums my whole life though, Matt Garstka is an absolute fucking BEAST dude
@@firkinja oh nvm your a drummer you get it LOL . Yes Matt Garstka is a beast. I wonder if someone who doesn’t play any kind of instrument could dig AAL
Bro if you learn guitar this becomes even more unfathomable
genuinely such a beautiful song
Man that LTD though! Stellar playing as always guys keep pushing music to it's limits
I am in love with these guys.

Amazing
...is Javier’s beard.
Christopher Montenegro I know right
Its the perfect shape.
Defying gravity...loool
It's got a life of its own...
This is insane..wow!
The D# to F melody at 0:25 sounds nice, quite folksy. :) My fave bit.
That melody line made the song for me
I just wish the song faded out on that last part for like, a couple more hours.
ESP: PLEASE release to the marketplace the 7 string that Javier is playing in this video.
Lucas Deet pretty sure that’s an LTD dude.
Aye, if ESP doesn't come through you could always try Kremona or Agile.
@@survivalstyle9228 ESP owns LTD
Ortega
you can buy it.
Javier Reyes rocks on this song!!
My fav to play along on my cajon!
1:19 you can see Tosin mouthing with the notes he’s about to play. He’s fucking unbelievable, and I don’t think anyone will ever one-up him in terms of raw prowess
Well bro, I do that every time too and it gives me confidence that since Tosin and Javier do it, I wouldn't look like a retard doing it while I'm vibing.
Javier djenting on an acoustic is the best thing i saw today
WE NEED AN ACOUSTIC PLAYTHROUGH
Is this even legal?
No they are playing from tesseract jail
In most countries... No....
Shhhh
Such a joy to watch Zeus play the guitar
🌩️ 🌩️ 🌩️
Javiers guitar is such a beauty
Le duo infernal
How fun it may be to play
Javier como pez en el agua, 🐟 Tosin...carajo con esta plumillita! 😬
I love the lyrics....
Wow that vocal lyric it's heart breaking..
amazing this to f...
Absolutely amazing
god i love that chon part
