Tosin Abasi Full Guitar Masterclass

I liked Tosin before he was a BLM sell out

my doctor said my brian should be ok in two to three weeks

I am strongly convinced this man is one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

I have never watched something and felt so grateful.

Him saying he's not at stream of consciousness level yet after 20 years is scary. I have the same fantasy and I'm only 6 months in

Listening to Tosin you can really feel it's African DNA origin. It's absolutely fantastic. The touch, the feeling, the internal clock he has inside... all they speak about ancient times and he's been able to translate those skills into a modern way. Try to emulate his style is almost impossible. It's not a matter of technique but a matter of "Where you come from". Very talented guy. Pretty unique in the guitar world. 👍

Love his playing!

I was present for this, it was amazing, 2018/2019 in Guildford during RADAR festival I think?

The selective picking blew my mind. So simple but I would have never thought of that. I will be practicing that. Thanks for posting!

He has the ugliest guitars ever.

This is pure gold

un memorable fret board gymnastics. yawn

Tosin is the master of creating need for speed police chase sounding riffs

This is as close as we get to a real Skwisgaar Skwigelf Advanced Fast Hand Finger Wizard Master Class

This is SO damn cool! Wow. And Tosin is one of the nicest and humblest people. One of the awesome surprises from this video for me is, around the 23 min mark…that is exactly the way I’ve written music for SO long, and never even knew. It just “felt” good to me. To see and hear him talk about that, being the genius guitar god he is, felt so cool that I do the exact same thing. (Except he does it on a WHOLE different level! On space steroids. Lol)

Now I understand, when people have been telling me I play unconventional and with alot of dissonance. Alot of my chord progressions I understand now, because I play out of the key. My tuner is telling me these chords are the same notes, but my ear is picking up and liking the weird inversions and intervals I hear. Your words and thoughts have helped me tremedously, to understand what is going on. <3

This guy is from another planet.

what pick does tosin prefer??

I genuinely believe he is the best guitarist of all time. This shit is unreal

can barely hear what he's playing

Legend, will go down as the greatest guitar player to ever live

That Wave of Babies riff hits like a damn brick.

that's difficult af
you definitly have to focus on theory for mounths to understand..

watching this literally helped me make better music the next day. thankyou Abasi and moak for posting this

I’ve noticed more and more that he’s been using a helix. I bet if he sold his presets he’d make hella money.

There's a harmonic major scale? Wierd..

this is one of the proofs that the real music /art/talent coming to an end! computer generated time signatures/robotic guitar melodies/riffs/rhythms. no one feels like pick up a guitar like that he held nor this music will teach/inspire anything to the next generations. its the end of REAL MUSIC ERA now its all about shit load of computer beats and riffs. this is an entertainment for kids and grown up kids etc who does't know anything about music or guitar playing. BORING MUZIK . sure thing he can't play the acoustic guitar like the way he does on electric. he is thankful for the technology

Incredible so see such a godly figure so vulnerable and, at the same time, still making each note sound magical. What a great inspiration this was...!

"Smoking weed helps..."?

Está na hora de chamar o baixista Júnior Braguinha pra montar uma Guig monstruosa!

Very inspiring. The kind of stuff that makes you want practice harder and push yourself and question your guitar playing, no matter what type of music you are into.

Tosin shouting out Bjork and Esperanza Spalding. Hell yea!

listen to him and turn the track down god damn

Oh man, the final part where Tosin was improvising saved me 😅 He’s mortal. He’s very, VERY good at what he does and that improv was still crazy technical, but even he needed to think about what he was doing and made mistakes. That’s achievable level mastery there. Even if most of his playing isn’t 😂

in another parallel universe there is a tosin abasi using a lot of dominant chords

Thank you for the awesome upload!!!

Something I love about Abasi is that he doesn't depreciate music theory.

Cool, but the background support tracks are way too overpowering. Impossible to hear the guitar.
