      Bruh... I swear i can imagine a silly cheesy movie where some dudes hand gets its own brain and turns him into a master of all arts. Drawing. Music... But its one hand so he ends up having to learn the rest with his other to work together and syncronize. Then they truely become one once they are 100% connected and the hands brain goes away but the guy keeps all the skills it had... And now he's a badass at guitar. Fighting with one arm. And fuck... masturbating. Idk lol could lead into some funny scenarios... It reminds me of parasyte the maxim

    The first minute of this song is amazing, not to say that the rest of the song isn't a masterpiece, because it is, but that first minute sets the tone for the rest of the tune. Top job.

  • @yoloisdamotto007
    @yoloisdamotto007 9 ปีที่แล้ว +55

    Before looking closely at this video, i was completely bewilder on Browne's right hand, and how he was able to keep such a steady hand with all the back-picks, but if you look at his pinky, it is tucked under the 1st string for leverage. Great Job M8!

    • @uptheirons726
      @uptheirons726 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      a lot of people anchor like that, myself included. Except I don't anchor my pinky on the high E, instead I anchor it on the bridge humbucker. That's why I only like a humbucker in the bridge, without it there's no anchoring. Lol.

    • @yoloisdamotto007
      @yoloisdamotto007 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      uptheirons726 Same I anchor on the bridge, but I had never seen it under the strings tho.

    • @kmw5100
      @kmw5100 9 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I've always done the same, it makes it infinitely easier to keep low string single note lines and tight riffing in check.

    • @iseeu1980
      @iseeu1980 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      He might also use his pinky that way to dampen the strings.

    • @cpamiseso
      @cpamiseso 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Tony Young Anchoring is efficient and lots of people do that. I saw that suggestion while watching instructional videos by Petrucci once, and Friedman once. They said it is handy and precisely held their picking hand in check. Do that myself, since I have wobbly wrist, LOL.

    • @onestepfromsiberia4197
      @onestepfromsiberia4197 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think the thing is that those who usually can be called as 'technical' just play too many notes, but don't care about the picking and the quality. Most of the times they're out of grid. DJonh can do both the agressive picking right on the grid and a good amount of notes

    • @mryongjin3909
      @mryongjin3909 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi I'm 8 years late in answering this - sometime I think in 2017++ I noticed from the way he strums chords that he was a very unique pocket and feel which despite being super rigid in that space does something very rare in technical riffage which is maintain a solid natural groove amongst the super-quantized mass market sound we've come to know today
