It seems many of the parts are composed with a sequencer layering syncopation it just seems logical some one in a "band" would endorse the electronic route especially as futuristic as AAL s image is Look at Thomas Lang , or Bozio, they both have made some helpful innovations into an electronic direction .

People seriously underestimate the ability to write catchy and simple songs. I'm in no way bashing Tosin, but I see so many of his fans bash musicians/fans that like music that isn't as technical as this. Moonlight Sonata isn't exactly technical by any means, but the person that wrote it was an absolute genius in terms of musical ability. It's nice to appreciate music for what it is. You don't need to bash something else in order to justify your tastes. That just screams insecurity.

true, I can understand why, though. I mean, when you're as good as he is, you get a lot of attention and admiration. I'm sure he'd describe himself as "just a guy who loves music" and enough so to get that good. then, some people aren't big on drawing attention to themselves (prob not most musicians, but...) and on top of that, and maybe more-so, receiving compliments or praise for this or that, again, because inside, they feel like a regular person. even the great Paul Gilbert does that, or at least did once, in this video you can see on here of him performing this wild Bach cello thing, iirc. at the end, he says "Wow, I can't believe I got through that' or something similar. I guess that's not the same as 'trying to make errors" but rather trying not to appear arrogant, or maybe those two boil down to the same thing...

I'm glad that Holdsworth and Cobain influenced him because I believe that those two are among the very best to ever play the guitar. Some say Kurt sucked but they are not listening to his ability to have gotten the maximum amount of emotion out of that instrument; Tosin DOES hear it and it obviously paid off.

I find it much more pleasing to listen to him talk about music, theory, triads, etc., than to hear him play it. I find the music interesting and engaging for the first 2-3-4 minutes - but it doesn't seem to change much for me. There has been such [a] vast movement[s] in terms of how technology has pushed the advancement of music along; how we hear it, play it, record it; how we travel from gig to gig - studio to studio. And because of this enlargement - there's been such huge leaps in terms of advancement. And THIS is why I don't see Tosin as a game-changer. He's surely unique and progressive. I wouldn't like being basically anchored to a single standing spot - and being required to stare at my neck for the hours of any particular gig.

It seems like in CAFO, one of the strings ( I can't really tell which one) went out of tune during the solo but he dealt with it like a champ

Tosin Abasi made me think, you don't need to have lots of music theory knowledge to be able to write music or really technical music. If you have memorized the notes on a music staff for the instrument u play, know notes of all scales, and know how to find chords for scales, thats all you need to make a structured song, if you have a looper it is easier to come up with good melodies (for some people). Also if you like Jazz, Jazz has music improvisation in literally all solo's so if you learn jazz you can learn to improvise/noodle stuff better, or you can just improvise and find some riffs you were playing that u like and write them down on a music staff with music notes and eventually turn that into a song.

luke666808g What he's saying is his demonstration of ridiculous skill and superior theoretical knowledge made him think of other ways to become that good. You need to know your instrument inside and out, where to get the right tones, the notes on the fretboard, the hidden notes and how to incorporate them. You don't HAVE to spend your time learning ALL the theory. And yes, jazz does help. Grizzly Adams DID have a beard...

What's so interesting is that there is no one commenting that has composed anything close to what Tosin has. What's equally absurd, is people commenting on the tonal qualitiy of his guitar! It's comparable to critiquing Einstein on the chalk he used to write theorems. Wow, how envy rears it's pretentious head! Listen. Apppreciate. Learn.

***** yeah, there is some fuzzy place where it sounds similar but you go... okay, well, he was influenced. He is paying homage. Whatever. I guess it's cool when it's just two chords I mean, nobody complains when a country songwriter writes a 3 chord song using G, C and D like the other 84,295 other country songs use. hehe but those two chords in succession are just so unique sounding I couldn't use them in a song of mine. To me, it's Joe's and that's it.

Tosin's signature Ibanez is so badass, but if it has taught me anything it's that if your music is extremely precise and demands constant focus, too many options on the pickup selection and piezo and whatnot can be a bad thing. That being said, he certainly got an eye for the appointments and the wood selection. I can't wait until the third AAL album either.
