Andy's vocals usually mesmerize us to the point where the intricacies of John's instrumentation and song writing sometimes get overshadowed. Great to hear Joao bring that out so beautifully. Always love your Monuments covers! Makeshift Harmony would be a dream to hear you play!
That’s not just you, the last couple of albums have been mixed terribly. You can’t hear the guitars at all. Guitar is my main focus in all the music I listen to and I still feel like this is the first time I’ve actually heard these riffs.
@@Thepoweroftheriffcompelsme ive been thinking the same thing, im glad im not alone, im also listening to prog metal mainly for the guitar The mixes are not the best, especially in nefarious but also the other albums the guitar parts doesnt really shine through, and when the vocals come in i can hardly hear the guitar parts at all, so yea for my taste the mix isnt really good if you for example compare it with periphery mixes, then thats another world completely (especially from the “guitar in the mix” standpoint)
@@ashhadnaqavi hahaha do you not know what generic means? He sounds like a multitude of other vocalists, not only that but the scene is obsessed with him and puts him into so many one off singles... where he sounds exactly the same over and over and over. He does nothing new whatsoever
This song is so underrated! But it's a very strong contender to be my most played song of the year. I was really looking forward to this. Thanks, João! Amazing as always!
Knowing that we played this song on your guitar a couple of days before makes it even better! Amazing cover my dude, I sometimes forget it's covers hahaha you're insane
I was literally practicing I The Creator when this notification popped up! It's a Monuments kind of day! Sick work as always man. Always a privilege to witness you doing your thing!
I was talking to my friends about this song earlier this week, and this is verbatim what I said: “I may have been dismissive of this song when it first came out, but now I can’t get it out of my head… honestly these are some of the best Monuments riffs out there… it’s so musical and melodic and I love the bits of chromaticism here and there thrown in. I really really love this song” Loved your cover, as always! And even though I have already seen John’s playthrough, you playing it so relaxed I picked up on things I didn’t catch with his video, which made me appreciate his songwriting even more. This truly is masterfully written
Literally my case, you can read what I just posted on Instagram!!! Glad you can get yet another light of appreciation on the song man ❤️ thanks for the support!
@@joaoldmedeiros Just went ahead and read it, I agree wholeheartedly. It’s extremely catchy and memorable. And I do think John is upping his game with his songwriting. He just dropped a video today reviewing and demoing a Yamaha Revstar, and I can tell he’s been experimenting a lot. I can never get enough of watching this man play… (same goes for you my friend 😉) the clean noodling in the demo is exceptionally exceptional… how does he come up with all these chord voicings and inversions? 🤯 th-cam.com/video/kaaMWd1V29A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mJwIE-kRp6u6Ex_h
Woah, I didnt even realize you uploaded this! Ive been learning this song for months and youve saved the day again mate! Your mix is incredible as always, and the chillest playthrough of this song ive seen so far 😂 mad props man. Its always a pleasure to see you uplaod a new tune.
I always really enjoy watching your videos so I can see and hear the intricacies of the instruments that sometimes get covered up by the vocals. Absolute amazing job man! 🔥🔥🔥
What amazes me is that It seems @joaomedeiros is picking very lightly when comparing to John - which picks very hard - and it sounds as good/huge as the man himself. Great cover @joaomedeiros ❤
@@joaoldmedeiros You're welcome! Honestly, I think I prefer listening to this version without the vocals. IMHO the vocals blended with them riffs just sound too commercial for my taste. Have you ever considered bringing out instrumental cover singes/EPs/LPs out of the tracks you have done so far for TH-cam?
Dude you are unstoppable, cover videos look like official playthrough vides now ahaha Awesome production as always, you delivered again! I had intentions of learning this and maybe I can get my hands on thanks to you :)
Thank you as ever friend! Not sure hehe, since I did the tab book I am saturated with "playing" those songs myself, even if I'm listening on the regular! Would love to showcase Shell
Late to this one Every video I praise you and you are deserving ❤ But John Browne ! Man! Dude has come up with some of the most catchy , skillful, crazy riffs of all time, and all have such a lovely underlying groove 😍
Dude, your channel is revolutionizing my playing... Along with the fact that I just bought my first 7 string a couple months ago. I'm literally trying to learn 10 songs at once right now because I can't decide on what I want to focus on. There is an unbelievable amount of good music out there when it comes to 7 strings and you are a channel of the purest, heaviest, and best music that anyone could possibly want to play... I mean, SHIT MAN. My adhd has me trying to learn everything at once! And you tab everything out, like holy shit. I want to give you a fuckin high five at this point! I just bought a music man JP15 about 8 months ago and it's just been fucking lonely now! I have all of my other guitars tuned for straight metal and I just can't stop learning! Conquering dystopia / Jeff Loomis has been blowing my mind, I've been TRYING to learn tethys and the ultimatum but FUCKIN HELL IS THAT SHIT HARD. I was curious if you've covered any of his music but shit, I don't see any and I can't blame you! Going to take me a year to be able to play those and a month just to memorize them at half speed! Lmao. You're a hero man! Keep doing what you do!
Eu tenho ouvido tanto essa música e do nada PAAA KKKKKK, muito bom como sempre, tudo muito limpo, tanto na tocabilidade quanto na mix, slk, deita demais
Muito muito muito foda. Lembro de acompanhar O John streamando as gravações de guitarra dessa música, incríveis demais. E você, como sempre, destruindo tudo! Continue arrasando, João!
It is amazing! The fact that you are proggramed all drums and synth is just blowing my mind. And of course guitar playing is insanely good! By the way, what's your opinion on Haunted shores? It will be great if you will cover something from them) P.S. English is not my native language, so sorry for mistakes
Haven’t listened to monuments much tbh and wasn’t a huge fan of this one at first, but usually I look at guitar covers just to see if the riffs kinda spark my dopamine receptors a bit lmao and this is definitely one of those cases. Absolute banger and absolutely nutty cover as per usual and I definitely want to be at your level with cover making some day as soon as know how to actually make a proper one😂
A banger as always!! I've been listening nonstop for a few days now. You really bring that riff to life! I'd love to see a cover of Jaded by Spiritbox.
Do you get the feeling that this song is a bit atypical for Monuments? Not in a bad way obviously. I can't quite figure out why it gives me that vibe. I LOVE how good those pads at 2:45 sit in the mix. Chef's kiss 💜
Late comment, but I was wondering if you cover this one haha, I love this song! By the way, you were the reason I got my first guitar! It came in about a month ago and I am absolutely loving it, haven't yet done any lessons because I am too impatient so I just straight up open some tabs (I found yours to be the best ones so far) and play from that, and I am not that bad at it to be fair, already learned some parts of Vildhjarta songs and planning on getting into some Meshuggah soon haha, of course my technique is probably lacking but I think that with some time I will get better. I think I am gonna get your patreon as I am really struggling to get a nice tone (it's a Harley Benton R-458, pretty muddy... yeah I am crazy, 8 string for an absolute beginner lol!), and I think I might learn a lot from your mixing videos :) Again thank you for inspiring me Joao, never stop being amazing!
Monuments are at their catchiest! Really enjoyed making this one ❤
►► Watch me mix this cover: patreon.com/joaoldmedeiros
He absolutely is. Makes it look easy and it's far from!
Hey bro, my grandfather and alot of my family has your same last name... im curious if we are related in some way? chris
The chillest cover of Nefarious possible
Didn't want to move more 🤣
Monuments are absolute riff gods 🔥❤️
💯💯💯
Man, John Brownes huge chords in the choruses never fail to amaze me. And neither do your covers! Nice one, as always!
Absolutely, me too. Thanks for listening as always amigo ❤️
This song has like 3 s-tier riffs back to back. It's insane. Most metal albums only have a couple of them
John Browne has some of the tastiest riffs in metal today.
When watching john's recording livestream, I was astonished by the tone, it sounds soooo great. Your tone sounds so great as well.
They got a really nice combination going yeah! Glad you like mine too friend!
For a second I thought you were translating João’s name 😅
Good run mate! Im so happy you covered this, im stuck on this song since jenuary when john was recording it in live stream, Its so good
Andy's vocals usually mesmerize us to the point where the intricacies of John's instrumentation and song writing sometimes get overshadowed. Great to hear Joao bring that out so beautifully. Always love your Monuments covers! Makeshift Harmony would be a dream to hear you play!

Andy is one of the most generic vocalists working today, it's unfathomably annoying that Browne pretty much refuses to give us instrumental versions
@@hcaz5818 Calling Andy a generic vocalist is an insane take. If he is so generic then why are there so few vocalists who sound even similar to him?
@@ashhadnaqavi hahaha do you not know what generic means? He sounds like a multitude of other vocalists, not only that but the scene is obsessed with him and puts him into so many one off singles... where he sounds exactly the same over and over and over. He does nothing new whatsoever
Great display of Browne's musicality and ability to write riffs with memorable melodies.
Also greeeat mix here, like it a lot!
Yes it is Josua! And thank you :) I blame the bass on this one actually, really nailed the low end
This song is so underrated! But it's a very strong contender to be my most played song of the year. I was really looking forward to this. Thanks, João! Amazing as always!
Truth, even I had underestimated this song. Thank YOU so much!
Knowing that we played this song on your guitar a couple of days before makes it even better! Amazing cover my dude, I sometimes forget it's covers hahaha you're insane
It was special for sure man. Thank you always ❤ BRING ON FRIDAY!!!
Browne's writing is amazing and your covers always perfectly capture every aspect of it. Mix sounds sick as well, great stuff as always man❤
So glad you lthink so friend. Thanks as ever!
So good! John browne always writes S-tier riffs, and you always make S-tier covers!
I agree! With the first part anyways 😀 Glad you like them!
I was literally practicing I The Creator when this notification popped up! It's a Monuments kind of day!
Sick work as always man. Always a privilege to witness you doing your thing!
An essential Ments tune!!! That's so awesome man. Thank you for all the love as always ❤️
Brother you're doing god's work with the tabs. Not to mention your crazy chops. Big respect.
Really glad you appreciate it friend, thank you!

The highlight for me is the mix. Those drum sounds are really good (even thought they are programmed).
Thanks Ryan! Glad you appreciate the mix
Oh yes!!! I was hoping you would cover this one !!!! The mix is so good man. You Nailed every aspect of this song it's actually crazy. So tight.
Hell yeah friend! Thanks so much for the kind words as always. You're a real supporter 😀❤
I love this - a great job. This also shows how amazing the writers and Andy Cs vocal patterns really are!
Couldn't agree more! Thank you
Woah, I didnt even realize you uploaded this! Ive been learning this song for months and youve saved the day again mate!
Your mix is incredible as always, and the chillest playthrough of this song ive seen so far 😂 mad props man. Its always a pleasure to see you uplaod a new tune.
Amazing as usual but now I am waiting for Spiritbox's new song cover 😂😉
Maybe!
nothing makes me giggle as much as seeing new joao covers
Hehehe I'm glad that is the case Kakao!!!
Banger! I miss you face on livestreams Joao 🐐
Thank you friend! I discovered I'm not much into livestreaming after my first few. But I will attempt again :)
I always really enjoy watching your videos so I can see and hear the intricacies of the instruments that sometimes get covered up by the vocals. Absolute amazing job man! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you very much friend, that is definitely one of my goals - to make you enjoy the music in a different light
You played it so smooth.Loving the mix as always..I love Mr Brownes Riffage
Cheers Angelo! It's the best 🎸
damn those riff keeps me banggin \m/ sick mixing as always bro \m/
They really do! Thank you as ever Basti 🙏
What amazes me is that It seems @joaomedeiros is picking very lightly when comparing to John - which picks very hard - and it sounds as good/huge as the man himself. Great cover @joaomedeiros ❤
Good point! Everyone has got their own style 😀🙌 glad you appreciate both my friend!
The riffiest of riffs!
For real my guy!!!
Always a great day when a new Joao cover gets posted 🥳
You're the best! Enjoy!
00:57
Great playing, mixing and visuals as always. Absolutely adore the Element shirt as well!
Thanks a lot! That's cool hehehe because it's sooooo old. Like the Red parts used to be bright red
This is my fav Monuments cover from u now🔥
Mine too dude ❤ glad you agree 🤝
Amazing cover as always Joao! You never cease to inspire.
Happy to hear that Garrick thank you!
This is an amazing cover! No doubt about it
Thank you very much Mitias!
@@joaoldmedeiros You're welcome! Honestly, I think I prefer listening to this version without the vocals. IMHO the vocals blended with them riffs just sound too commercial for my taste.
Have you ever considered bringing out instrumental cover singes/EPs/LPs out of the tracks you have done so far for TH-cam?
What a tight, clean mix!
Love this song and your covers bro
Glad you enjoy it!!! Thanks friend
Dude you are unstoppable, cover videos look like official playthrough vides now ahaha
Awesome production as always, you delivered again! I had intentions of learning this and maybe I can get my hands on thanks to you :)
Thank you as always Ali! You definitely should give it a go ;)
Good production as always
Thank you again!
JOAOOOOOO YOU ALWAYS MAKE ME SMILEEEEEEEEEEEEE while banging my headddd
That's awesome friend ❤

Me too friend! Thank you so much ❤
I was waiting for this.
Well here you go man!
Crazy stuff as usual man! Any plans to cover some more of the songs from the new HLB record? Those tracks are insanity
Thank you as ever friend! Not sure hehe, since I did the tab book I am saturated with "playing" those songs myself, even if I'm listening on the regular! Would love to showcase Shell
Sounds really great, my friend! Excellent performance big like!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Super sick cover! So rad to hear you re-created the synths and backing instruments 🥰
You know it Brian! Hug the bois for me ❤
You make it look easy 🌬

Indeed! Thanks so much!

Hahahah sorry! And thank you!

Thanks Peter, glad you think so 🙏

Hahahah ótimo! Obrigadso sempre amigo Vinicius
Essa música é uma obra de arte de Riffs, excelente cover Joao!
É mesmo! Obrigado amigo 🙏
Amazing job as always dude, you're the best
Thanks! You too!

Usei essa stream para aprender a música! Hehehe muito obrigado Leonardo ❤
@@joaoldmedeiros E eu usei seu vídeo e tab pra aprender ela essa semana! Postei meu cover esses dias, super feliz de conseguir tocar essa musica!

Always on point!
Thank you as ever AJ ❤
so stunning!

Been waiting for this one! 🤘🏾you got me into monuments and I’m meeting them in October.
Really hope you enjoy that my friend. They are all very nice people ❤
@@joaoldmedeirosI can’t wait! Sick playing as well 🤘🏾
Monuments always delivers
Always!!!
This is brilliant as usual. I really thought it was a playthrough.
I mean, Monuments could totally reach out to you for a collab!
That's high praise friend, thank you!
Never fails to amaze me!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Suuuuuuuuuuch good fucking riffs, absolutely crushing the mix as always my brother! 😍
Amen brother! Thank you so much ❤
You just never miss ❤
❤❤❤❤❤
It is amazing! The fact that you are proggramed all drums and synth is just blowing my mind. And of course guitar playing is insanely good!
By the way, what's your opinion on Haunted shores? It will be great if you will cover something from them)
P.S. English is not my native language, so sorry for mistakes
I always do, and I'm glad you appreciate the work that goes into it friend. I like HS! Would cover Norway Jose myself haha

Sou seu fã Irmão Toca muitoooooo
Obrigado sempre!
Is this sick or what man
😀 glad you think so!!!
Superb cover 👌🏼. This track has some of their more colourful chorus and bridge sections in my opinion (if that makes sense). Very satisfying
Super satisfying friend ❤ thank you as always!
2:10 Whoa! The extra E!
I just had to throw a harmony in there 🤣🤣🤣 happy you noticed it Max
Awesome work, love this mayones :) made in Poland
Hell yeah!
Cleeeeeeean 🤩
Thanks man 🤘
Soa incrivel!! Congrats!!
Muito obrigado sempre amigo ❤
Esse tom. Impecável.
❤❤❤ Super obrigado meu amigo!
perfection
A banger as always!! I've been listening nonstop for a few days now. You really bring that riff to life!
I'd love to see a cover of Jaded by Spiritbox.
Great suggestion! And thank you friend
My fave song right now this song looks so tricky with the timming 🔥🔥🔥
It is!
Goat monuments covers are back, stunning as always
Also, do u plan to cover some songs fron "in static ?
Thanks friend! Not sure at this point
tremendo cover 🔥🔥🔥
Muito obrigado meu amigo!
Do you get the feeling that this song is a bit atypical for Monuments? Not in a bad way obviously. I can't quite figure out why it gives me that vibe.
I LOVE how good those pads at 2:45 sit in the mix. Chef's kiss 💜
Yeah I understand what you mean! Thank you friend 💜
Banger
As much as I hate the term, yes!
@@joaoldmedeiros Why, it's like the best term :))
Great cover🤘
Thanks a lot Eugene!
This cover is (God)Slaps Bravo man!!🧡
Ahahaha thank you!
What a superb guitar cover amazing bro 🤘
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Late comment, but I was wondering if you cover this one haha, I love this song!
By the way, you were the reason I got my first guitar! It came in about a month ago and I am absolutely loving it, haven't yet done any lessons because I am too impatient so I just straight up open some tabs (I found yours to be the best ones so far) and play from that, and I am not that bad at it to be fair, already learned some parts of Vildhjarta songs and planning on getting into some Meshuggah soon haha, of course my technique is probably lacking but I think that with some time I will get better.
I think I am gonna get your patreon as I am really struggling to get a nice tone (it's a Harley Benton R-458, pretty muddy... yeah I am crazy, 8 string for an absolute beginner lol!), and I think I might learn a lot from your mixing videos :)
Again thank you for inspiring me Joao, never stop being amazing!
That's absolutely awesome friend. Proud to be able to inspire you to play. Hope you have a lot of fun ❤
