@@LucasDo-iy9ju o hell yea. I saw them once im 2014 and again in 2022 with a pretty different lineup. Both at fairly small venues too, and both times they fucking destroyed the places. Always dummy tight
I relearned basically everything I know how to play on guitar using the pinky anchor on the high e, after seeing John do it. Changed so much. Thanks for existing, John.
John is the real deal across all categories. Amazing writer, player, producer, engineer, youtube personality and most importantly teacher. Whatever he does exudes awesomeness.
what do you mean by "not really the pickups?" this is an electric guitar sound that is picked up by guitar pickups, and I found them sounding pretty good, what's wrong about that?@@Cpmnk
@@6oundStudio I think he means that the tone is more influenced by the amp/cab set-up than the pickup types. I am not sure how true this is, but I've heard recently that pickups do not really change the tone (disregarding passive v. active, or split-coil) and that some pickups out there are selling gimmicks. Either way, this dude's tone is killer and so is the band :)
@@thomasmcnulty6247 it isn't shocking news to anyone, i know that the major part of the tone is amp an cab, it's not a secret knowledge. i just don't understand why he decided to correct me on that when i wasn't wrong about what i'm hearing
I'm still waiting to see if that Rabea and Olly track that was teased fucking ages ago will ever see the light. But yeah bea and browne would be top shit
I saw Monuments live recently and they put on a great show. (That was my first intro to this group.) You could tell the whole band was having the time of their lives on stage. They opened for Jinjer, and now I'm digging into their music 🤘
Sick riffs! Really hope that next album you bring the vocals back in the mix a bit and bring the guitar more to the front so we can hear all of the sick riffage better!
One of the few players that no matter how much I watch him play, I’m in awe that this is in fact a human playing. Such beautiful soundscapes augmented by that robotic “unreal” mainly downpicked style he employs.
Don't get into these guys like i used to but i effin love this song! If it pops up in my feed in any form im clicking! Andy is a beast! Cool playthrough but i could not hear the tone of the guitar over the song and i have good ears.
Love that guitar, wish they would have given it the keith merrow headstock. Schecter's flagship headstock just doesn't fit modern metal guitars and superstrats.
Technically, that's a merrow MkII headstock 😅 but giving it an MKIII headstock wouldn't make it a Browne custom. The bodyshape is also based on their Sun Valley extreme model.
1:30ish is by far my fav moment on the album only thing i dont like about the album is john isnt loud enough in the mix i love andy but hes definitely standing in the front volume wise if you arent using good speakers or headphones he is all you can hear
I actually got to meet JB this year and asked him about the switch to Schecter, he said he played a few and they were better than his Mayones and that's why he switched😂 I still hope he does a red burst like his duvall though. I love the look of that guitar.
@@karterestill I suspected that mayones were just hype and didn’t get one even though they are gorgeous. I’m stuck between the KM7 and this one now, or a little less for an Ibanez Qx577pb. Thanks for sharing that mate!
@encompassthyeclipse7278 oh trust me I would love one, or at least just a chance to play it. I don't think all boutique brands are price justifiable but I'd still like to try! But I'm a Schecter diehard. First guitar when I was 15, was an Omen-6 and that thing still plays better than some higher end brand guitars. I have 8 schecters total, and soon I'll have a USA Merrow
@@encompassthyeclipse7278 I've had a few Mayones and plenty of Schecters. A Korean Schecter is going to have some amount of variance in quality from guitar to guitar, but typically they're alright. If you get a new Mayones from the factory it'll be dead perfect. It's like a Honda Civic vs a high end sports car.
Hey John, where'd you get the jumper mate? I love the style. If it's from a pattern let me know and I'll get the missus to knock one up for me. Thanks!
🔪🔥 Jhon Browne e Alex Chichikailo restano i miei chitarristi preferiti. Il problema sta in quella cavolo di voce urlata e distorta. Il sound magistrale dei brani, senza quella voce, triplicherebbe il bacino di utenti in fascia di età più avanzata .. Fortunatamente, Alex ha seguito il mio consiglio • pubblica album solo musicali Spero Jhon faccia lo stesso 👋
I really love my Schwcter Omen 6, for this I replaced the pickups with a "Seymour Duncan Dimebucker Set" the compression - hight and low frequencies blow my neighbors away!
Nice...but it's no juice burst Qatsi. 😜 Seriously though...John must walk to some scattered internal rhythms...this kind of riffing makes my breathing and heart rate feel weird. It's a special ability! Like a riffing superpower!
@@mjrnjmy guess is Ibanez quality is kinda cheap for their price and mayones charges like 6k per guitar. Schecter is kinda in that sweet spot where it’s excellent quality for price
@@gmyersgilmer9470 what, opiate? Not too surprising. That's such a general word tho that idk if I could consider it ganking. People have been borrowing song and album names since the beginning of recorded music lol. Most good ones have already been used, innit?
@@tylerm8145 I think it’s tackiness goes up depending on the level of notoriety in its genre. Tool being possibly the most influential in this prog math metal vein if you will. It would be cheesy if a band had the word Zeppelin in its name for instance for “Led Zeppelin”
@@gmyersgilmer9470 I get what you're saying but I don't think I can agree with it at all really. They're are only so many words dude lol, and unless the band is like 100% extremely derivative of Led Zeppelin, I take literally zero issue and I think it's silly to consider almost any word off limits for a band, song, or album name. For instance I have probably 4 or 5 songs called hypnotize on my phone that have nothing to do with each other, and I don't see why anyone would take issue with their "unoriginal" titles. I do think I'd side with you if someone blatantly named a song something JUST to garner more attention from a super popular song with the same name. That's lame and dumb and gross. In this case tho, 'Opiate' has a great deal to do with the subject of the song, ie being addicted to and unable to quit someone. It's also just a great, catchy title that fits the song perfectly.
@@tylerm8145 I hear ya, I guess I just feel ambitious art is better art. Monuments are an amazing genre defining band so there’s that however it would be better to come up with a more original name for this banger. It’s not because I think they are in any way lesser. The opposite, that I look up to monuments so much that I know they can do the best. I still respect and enjoy that others don’t feel it takes away. I do but still love the track regardless
I love how more than half of the guitar track is basically unhearable, but he still plays god riffs
It really is
Right? It’s half a mix issue and half that’s he’s just fckn flawless.
they must be a good band to check live.
@@LucasDo-iy9ju o hell yea. I saw them once im 2014 and again in 2022 with a pretty different lineup. Both at fairly small venues too, and both times they fucking destroyed the places. Always dummy tight

High e anchor is one of the only ways I can play, and I have flamenco training.
What exactly do you mean by this? Could you timestamp where he does this please?
@@altarpiecewhen you hook your pinky around the high e to maintain a better position for picking.
John is the real deal across all categories. Amazing writer, player, producer, engineer, youtube personality and most importantly teacher. Whatever he does exudes awesomeness.
Easily the most underrated modern guitarist
More Browne playthroughs, please! 🤘
Agreed! He deserves more visibility! Browne is a god amongst men!
where is everyone? This is fire, John is a legend, and these pickups sound massive
Not really the pickups. More like amp and cab

John your writing is always impeccable 🤌🤌🤌 And Andy killing the Vox 🖤🖤🖤
Killer riffs yet so much melody and feeling, love this song.
I just bought the Tao 7 John Browne has been my biggest influence since I was like 15
Best guitarist bar none pure energy would love to see you and Bea Massad drop a tune
I'm still waiting to see if that Rabea and Olly track that was teased fucking ages ago will ever see the light.
But yeah bea and browne would be top shit
Browne the absolute fucking beast. Undoubtedly one of the most important players in my musical progression.
That guitar tone is epic

Damn, awesome everything. Ending of this song gets me every time.
Nasty…this video straight moved my spirit 👊🏼
One of my fav guitar players of all time!
This was the best feeling shecter I've ever picked up
Schecter sorry
Fantastic playthrough! I love how British John looks here too.
One of the best players that's creates some of the best tracks to exist. Amazing.
Was hoping this playthrough would make a return 😄
Absolute legend. John Browne will go down in history.
Just an absolute Masterpiece
babe wake up, new Browne playthrough just dropped
John's downpicking is insane! What a beast
Such a unique player 🙌
Sick riffs! Really hope that next album you bring the vocals back in the mix a bit and bring the guitar more to the front so we can hear all of the sick riffage better!
my god thats so sick
Modern riff god. John is absolutely insane.
One of the Riffmasters!!!
Wish we could hear the actual live guitar boosted higher. Just sound like the regular track....
Absolutely savage John.
Wow. I'm speechless.
Yeszzzz awesome playthrough. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
This guitar is so sick.
the chorus is mesmerizing
That ending just altered my DNA
Schecter lost Jeff Loomis but they got another legend.At least he joined a good affordable company.
Who did loomis decide to go with? Guys a monster btw. Love nevermore
@@encompassthyeclipse7278he's at Jackson
Don't forget about Aaron Marshall too! That's 2 mayones artists now!
@@encompassthyeclipse7278he's with Jackson now. Sadly they still haven't made a 7 string version of his 6 string Kelly model :'(
So much goodness going on for 3+mins. Cheers!
Always love the emotion John is showing.
🔥🔥🔥

I gotta get one of those... I wish they made it as a baritone.
It is 27" baritone
@@peacefrog3 I mean the 6 string I already have a couple of seven strings.
crazy talented
So amazingly good!
🤘🏽🎩
My fingers have cramps after watching this. It hurts so good.
Ah YES! The last Opiate playthrough John did got taken down from youtube. Thank fuck another one showed up.
im all for this hardtail phase!
This is absolutely unreal

Riff Lord doing what he does best.
The monster!
John and Olly are beyond sick as fuck. Love this new signature guitar though I just wish it was affordable
oh godddddd 😍😍
wowww...
Great guitars!
John has a new guitar academy, give this mix for the academy to remix for this video😂😂
I think I saw an upstroke or a few! :D :D
Schecter is picking up some artists lately, I hope they do you right John!
1:30ish is by far my fav moment on the album only thing i dont like about the album is john isnt loud enough in the mix i love andy but hes definitely standing in the front volume wise if you arent using good speakers or headphones he is all you can hear
Down pick ALLLLLL the notes.
Browne is the rythym champ.
He is using alternate picking almost through the whole song.
Those pants are Lewis Hamilton tier
Such a much better company for you than Mayones imho I think they will treat you good

pls send out shipments so distributers can fill backorders. been waiting since Oct1 😢
You know the riffs are heavy af when the guitarist looks like he REALLY needs to take a shit. 10/10
John is the baddest songwriter and axe wielding Brit ever
James and Pin from Sikth are also serious contenders as well as Leah from Aliases

Is this realtime playback? He was moving so fast it looks sped up 🤯😵💫 Those are some hella riffs.
When you make the O face during the easiest parts, that's how you know you're feeling it.
Sick. Wish I could hear you better over cizek though.
Isn't that sound too low for performance video?
This song makes me to obtain those sweatpant codpiece pants. You know... just for some extra room.
Lol, I was also wondering where he got those pants 😄
How this guitar is better than mine Schecter Omen-6?
Different pickups, longer scale length, better craftsmanship, higher quality hardware, extra string etc.
I really love my Schwcter Omen 6, for this I replaced the pickups with a "Seymour Duncan Dimebucker Set" the compression - hight and low frequencies blow my neighbors away!
god damn..
We want Monuments!
Great song, and great playing -- I just wish we could actually hear him instead of just the track.
🔪 🔥

didn’t think he’d ever leave mayones tbh
how many signatures does this dude have? mayones jackson schecter ?????
why did the paint have to be TRANS?
Bar consistently raised
Nice chain mail sweater 😂
Feti on Feti On Feti On Feti
Band?
I can't hear the guitar in half these clips.....
Turn the tracks up.
shocked he switched to Schecters
Any idea why? And a comment here says he was with Mayones, is that right?

New singer needs to stop and let us hear it a little more often, turns me off their new stuff. Amazing musicians though
No more mayonnaise?
Is this a joke? Emperor's new clothes?
at least bring a play through to the front of the mix
