Azure (Original) - By Sarah

[Beanie9875]

Love the music, but the thing that makes me come back to this video is your smile at :06 This may sound a bit corny but right at that moment along side the ominous sounds in the intro I just got goosebumps. Just can tell in your eyes this is something you truly love to do. That look is something you only see in a musician when they have passion for what they do. Sad to say but most lose that feeling later down the road. I truly hope you don't. Wish you the best! Keep the amazing music coming!

[sonicslaughter]

That's sick

[Dimonstr1980]

Wow! You are awesome!

[2neggy]

i love you = will you have my children??



[chillichomper]

Miss, you are one talented lady. I hope you don't let this dream die cause I am seriously enjoying your music. Keep 'em coming n get yourself a band.

[ThLuckyOne]

This one just absolutely DANCES!! I wish you had a working relationship with a jazz-dance choreographer. If you ever have time (and the inclination), please check with local University dance departments to see if they could get interested in choreographing some routines to work with this incredible delight of a song. Ya never know! THANKS FOR THIS!!

[Calquin123321]

do you have this shiit with tabs? ITS AWSOME

[GryphonICD]

This with the double kicks sounds awesome. 

[TheLevitated]

This is sick! Are you in a band?

[dillonclapp101]

The beginning reminds me of the contortionist, your definitely getting a badass vocal cover of this from me.

[AHMADF93]

You have that Animal As Leaders influence in your playing. Not many people can play these kind of stuff. Love it !

[Mighselph]

your face at 1:39 =D

[PeachyPieBrony96]

I can't even explain how jealous of this I am.

[Cambo420Rambo195]

Animals As Zealots.

[ragneg]

@Cambo420Rambo195 Spot on. Not necessarily a thing we need either.

[Metalcorable]

could you please cover new eden by animals as leaders ? :) youd nail it i swear :D

[alex164]

seriously AWEsome

[yourusernamehere2]

the nonmetal bits were amazing.

[Steelelives]

jesus christ do you have to be that awesome in every video, leave some for the rest of us.

[mik3ydo]

how did you learn to play guitar?

[420djent]

every djentleman wants this girl.

[GrislyAddams]

DOPE

[Destrodooomocculta]

fredrik thordendal would be proud

[MrSputtel]

I just realized that you used, how can i name it, like a stereo effect in that song, which I really like. It is subtle, but this little things make music much more interesting to listen to.

[ParadoxPK]

With a drummer putting his own personal flair into this song, it would dayum good

[ParadoxPK]

@ParadoxPK Not that it isnt already very good

[kikin12v1]

I don't like the way you sweep... But the song is amazing.

[oblivimegatroninator]

All of this is awesome but especially that part starting at :30 and the xylophone interlude a bit after that-- that's how good I wish the stuff that I wrote was!

[oblivimegatroninator]

@oblivimegatroninator And the chord at 2:21 in context with the ones before it.

[boxyman6]

This pleases me

[tankwfw]

Thumbs up if you think Sarah is the illegitimate offspring of John Petrucci and Zooey Deschanel

[feedthemonkey83]

Do you really play 00:29 completely with downstrokes? This looks really heavy! 00:59 Awesome part I love it

[juaniofromhell]

PERFECT WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!

[feedthemonkey83]

You've not only stunning skills but u have also an amazing taste of music o.O

[Cairnivore]

majesticcccccccccccccccccccccc­

[ASoulByondRepair]

Nice to see another talented person come from Wisconsin :D

[ChildOfshred19Ks]

we should start a band!! HHAHAHA

[screwyoualways]

superb!

[HaroNRIPley]

Female Tosin Abasi ^^

[Willhelm2006]

I would pay money for an album like this!

[sixstringwizard06]

Sweet music, shitty bandcamp name

[MoshingUnicorns]

marry me? please? no? okay..

[urmomismexican]

do u go to berklee college of music? cuz u should

[Cairnivore]

@urmomismexican DO IT :)

[ExtraStrengthMusic]

my only suggestion is don't add effects to the drums, instead add a tiny bit of reverb to the entire mix, so it all sounds like it's in the same room. excellent writing, your mixing will only get better.

[burlong01]

Excellent performance. That being said, I wonder how many people commenting on this video would be praising her if she was a guy. Regardless of gender, stellar performance.

[CitiesInTheSky]

Alot of awesome ideas and great playing here, but the song is arranged pretty erratically... I also need to know what program you use to create those Periphery-esque beeps and boops!

[abapicalTaenia]

This is badass.

[TheBrentonrichards]

What program did you use?? and is that a shecter c8 hellraiser? I recently put one in layaway!!!! btw, teach me the ways of the gods!!!

[DumblyDorr]

Great song. The added depth of the clean parts makes it stand out. All high-speed ultra-distortion palm muted staccato riffs, sweeps and tapping can get a bit monotone. The clean parts have a structure even somewhat reminiscent of Robert Fripp (which is probably the greatest compliment I can give) Also, great work on the programming.

[CarlosHigg]

stop kissing her ass you pathetic faggots

[dominusnile1]

OMG!!!! So gorgeous!!! You are awesome!

[StarclassicD]

This is fucking phenomenal.

[FlibbidyFleu]

Please get a record deal already...

[Rupp101]

Does anyone else want to marry her like I do?

[ssikdeath]

Good of you !

[devonnebusby]

where did you get your drum loops from?

[MissSmiles4u]

@devonnebusby lol i made them :D

[devonnebusby]

@MissSmiles4u Thanks for the reply. Are they midi or is that you own real life drums?

[OkyDooky]

@MissSmiles4u When you say "made" do you mean "sequenced" or "recorded"? 'Cause I see a drumset behind you, but wasn't sure if you had the recording capabilities.

[devonnebusby]

That was a very very good,Sarah. Super Soothing. Your parents must be Super Proud!

[gitsurfer27]

wow im kinda blown away here! ur on par with tosin abassi, thats about the best compliment i can give any guitarist!!!

[TerraDigitalMedia]

I'm surprised you haven't developed your hybrid picking a little more, especially with how active your right hand is.. lots of down strokes it seems. Great tone @ 2:11 and chordal voicing. You must have begun on the piano? I freaking love your playing, I've been listening all morning, just an awesome talent! Keep educating yourself..you've got that expansive mind, Debussy, Bartok, Liszt, Scriabin... study the masters as you may well be one yourself!!!!

[keropiboy]

this is amazing!!!!

[vortex3k]

Tosin watched this video once and is now scared of you getting his fame.

[JRripsz]

593 guys are in love.

[guitargirl626]

I think so far this is my favorite song by you. Excellent stuff! Very original.

[neochase1]

this needs to be on friggin ITUNES ! ugh so cool !

[SqeexZ420]

and screw the one person who disliked this

[SqeexZ420]

Face melts.... You are amazing and don't let anyone tell you different... Just f***ing beautiful!

[immortalsoloist]

Good stuff. Very nice keep it up!

[oddfellowfloyd]

That awesomeness and brilliance is mighty inspiring, to say the least. :)

[Iliveinabox666]

You're so rad..

[unsafesk8erm]

would you by chance like to meet my mother? :)

[colsand3rs]

Bwah! I like to has enjoy this now and a lot of times!

[kyle89]

all hail Sarah !!! there is such a thing as being 2 bad ass just look at what happen to Dimebag

[productores2008]

esta música es la que me fascina, sin atisbo de voz, wow, deja que la mente se explaya..perfectoooo..!!

[roytek444]

schecter omen 8 fantastic guitar, fantastic song!!!! great job =)

[darioarrow]

very good stuff!! greaaat!! :D

[Damienelite]

your skills are. my skills arent. beautifull

[Wreckoningx]

Either you have no knowledge of music theory, or you take after Tosin ALOT and play really out of the box stuff. Not bad tho. Startin to like ur originals.

[MetallHead9]

Hnnnnghhh that Schecter!!!!

And the song is great, reminds me of Mechina a little

[commonsparrow]

i blasted this in my car! thank you!

[theforkisonthetable]

all i hear is White Walls by Between the buried and me. if you dont, then you didnt make ti to the end of the 14 minute song on colors.

[theblissfulchaos]

You should put out a whole solo album, and call the 'band' (or project, or whatever) 'Sarah'...seems like a decent name for a music project and it's different than all the rest of the names in this genre. And by that I mean it's not *plural outer space-y noun*.

[akop44]

please play in my band. You ma'am are badass

[somewhatsonny]

Bloody hell.

[metalhead15151]

i feel like you just took a journey into my soul

[colemannumber1]

i can dig it, good stuff!

[BareTheMark]

HOLY fudge ur really good dude. ur gunna go far.

[TheExistenceBand]

play for my band!

[ascendedsevn]

This song is badass \m/

[WZW1982]

I think i heard the chrystal preset from GR2 in the intro? =) Very cool original!

[Miceliism]

[lazzaro1252]

/watch?feature=player_detailpa­ge&v=MzC6OgdX8b0

[deadwateruk]

awesome! x



[Manuelomar2001]

I think this is my favorite video of yours, and my favorite original song of yours as well. Keep it up!

[issuser]

I'm digging the sound and production talent. Keep at it!!

[MrSputtel]

Your songwriting skills have become a lot better during the last couple months. I really like this song. Your recording skills are also better now, which makes it a lot more enjoyable to listen to your songs.

[samehamsandwhich]

smile at 00:05 owned me for all eternity...



[lordsrawker]

You know how Joe Robinson (the Aussie that plays like Tommy Emmanuel) got to go on tour with Tommy Emmanuel? You should do that with Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes. Please. I'll be the first to buy tickets for my friends and myself.

[Se7enthRise]

Perfect.

[Farhan1242]

wow..ur amazing!

[TeamMCS]

that's really impressive. Best of luck to you!

[Scorge120]

im so jealous this is so good.

[MrFlippens3]

Very cool I love to see a woman kick our ass on the fretboard!!!!!!!!!

[jonahkemp]

This is really good!

[wussupmonkey]

what did you use to record? like what interface and what program

[Boardsksyou]

I got some crazy chills listening to this! Awesome work; keep it up!

[URFKNVANCE]

this is so sick, i digg it... with a shovel FUCK YEAH \m/

[1814Custom]

Started with At the Gates - Slaughter of the soul....

then Meshuggah - Bleed...

and ended up here... nice playing Sarah!

[zeekee111]

What recording software do you use? Also, what kind of equipment? Also, you and Luke Holland would make the perfect couple! XD

[lezvarthok]

alright this is awesome

[MrCreamyT2]

i'm pretty picky about music, but this is way way cool. you should really get in a studio to record this. i'd be totally happy to hear this pop up on pandora

[AJC3270]

do a necrophagist or psycroptic cover, or write something brutal and aggressive.

[MylifeisSWELL]

Xylophone in djent ftw

[byrdous1]

oh snap yer a friggin badasss!!!!

[psycho785]

This is absolutely badass. Definitely worth a sub!

[maxfrancois89]

Damn. This made me re-hit puberty.

[matthewtop]

Nice! Your song Dissonance in Aria is a fuckin sick song too! I'll be downloading Zeal very very soon. :P

[colonelsanders1985]

This is actually really rather great. Well done, keep it up.

[babynbababa]

MARRY ME.



[VegasPoker]

i've seen loads of guitar cover videos but i think you're the only female 8 string player i've come across :0

keep up the good work

[billybtbam]

1:40 possibly the most smug face i have ever seen! Basically saying your about to fuck shit up!

[METALdude1195]

Demo sounds good. Keep it up.

[VicMurray88]

Why can't I have a girl like you?

[JimTrivial]

the beggining kinda sounds like tempting time

[AndersonWave17]

did you play the drums on this recording? or did you use a program? what about bass guitar?

[DMC50FX]

Awesome, this song gives me fucking goosebumps. I'd loop this track and just zone out on the couch, all fucking day \m/ : )

[sumdyude]

Sounds like something off of Joe Satriani's Engines of Creation album, which is amazing..hope he made more albums like that.

Sarah, could you cover something like Tender Surrender by Steve Vai? That would be awesome!!

[ryanthemanful]

ur amazing!!!!!!! i can't believe you actually created that, it sounds awesome. Keep up the good work, you'll be famous in no time.

[ThomasGilliganGuitar]

The Song Was Awesome! Sounds Progressive and i liked the electronic beats that you combined your style with.Your 8 string is beast, I recently got an Agile Interceptor Pro 8 string Guitar and its awesome. Keep up teh good work.

[Hanzez]

Great playing and you are really beautiful. I have never before seen girl playing guitar like this!

[iskim86]

0 people don't have ears.

[andyman210]

@iskim86 One person has no ears.

[iskim86]

@andyman210 and that person is just jealous.

[GuitarRan1]

Hey Sarah, I too love love love playing guitar and you are playing it Girl !!! I digging the Guitar too, is it a Schecter Guitar Research Damien Elite 8-String Electric Guitar ?? Iv'e been looking at that very Guitar for myself \m/ Thinking of going Black. Anyway I'm really liking your style of writing and your doing what fellow artist do and that's echo what we like but the essence is the colors of our soul. Keep living the dream, stay inspired & Live on purpose. BIG PEACE & LOVE !!! ~Randy~

[butterknucklez]

wut a hey ocean video is in the suggestions

i dont know if thats just me, but its strange

[dmcadik]

I could sing to this.

[breakerion]

The transition from the slow melodic part to the last section or ending of the song lacks something that doesn't make it feel so smooth, just my 2 cents now in another topic, after following you for a couple of months I just realize that every time you smile while nailing a song or fret I smile you back, is not a crush but I was surprised to notice that *blushes*

[TheQwertykeyboard11]

@breakerion wooooow creepy

[BlackBandanaFlyin]

\m/

[moshiepoo]

Girl you are rediculously awesome!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!

[0tibby0]

Real bass or sample bass in this?

[theblissfulchaos]

HEY PROSTHETIC RECORDS!!1! *points to sarah*

Incredible, especially considering you're just someone on YT. Keep up the great work!

\m_

[80HGuitar]

diggin the thumb piano-esque tone.

keep it up, you'll get picked up soon. definitely got above-average songwriting skills. tipping point might be closer than you think :D

[thavador]

Ever thought of playing together with Tosin Abasi? =D

Your styles match eatch other like the ones of a love pair. xD

[basistEricBlack]

Amazing music. Thank you for it.

[NicIsbRuTaL1]

Hey Sarah, amazing video, you're so talented keep up the awesome work :D and what interface or recording software do you use cause it sounds fantastic :)

[vortex3k]

Sounds a lot like Animals as Leaders. And by that I mean that as a huge compliment!

[mashafasha5]

HA Guitar Rig in the beggining?

[MIKMIKOYKOY16]

hi, if i may ask how do you record you sound?  did you use a mic?

[guitar4life33]

This is really nice. You have a very original sound. :) I enjoyed listening to this a lot.

[NCDissension120]

Sweeping part = Hell yeah!  Well done.

[yoimer06]

This is fantastic. Could I ask where you get one of those hairband like things to dampen the strings? I can't seem to find em anywhere.

[TimmyP80]

wow.. great song.and nice guitar!

[CthulhuDawn06]

I <3 this :3 totally surpass me in guitar n_n great sound and rhythm :3

[BrightGreyful]

Sorry Tosins sister you are a guitar god holy shit.

[cybergrind]

I love your music, this is really the star brigthing, keep your impulse dear, is very impressive

[letsmeltyourface]

don't love it when you learn something new but really useful in the DAW based on your recording techniques...

[sufferwithin2010]

Hey Sarah how do you get your recordings to sounds so professional?

[MissSmiles4u]

@sufferwithin2010 spend months saving up to buy some decent recording software, then spend more months conquering the learning curve accompanied with how to use said software. lol xD and i still have so many things I have to work on/figure out haha, it never ends!

[stevo946]

@MissSmiles4u What kind of equipment did you end up getting?

[cjistophat1]

U shocked me of how well u played and mixed this song don't be to hard on ya self but don't keep striving for perfection.

[drownsindark]

you're a beast. i would love to play with you.

[Deadcorpseinabox]

Bam had it right. You're great with your fingers

[TheNecrosuN]

I'm in love.

[dmdwpofficial]

you are amazing

[Siah2000]

you look like tara fron sons of anarchy. That's a good thing lol

[mrtalkative91]

idk why, but its cute at 1:37 when you randomly get happy for a second or something lol

[RaumoGraeywolf]

i'm so totally buying your demos as soon as i get some money which'll probably next year i'm that broke; if i could buy them right now i promise i would. with skills like yours you deserve the support

[senna01]

you're cute, your technique is incredible, etc etc etc.

too bad your music sounds just like everything else out there.

guess how your idols made their names?

strive for true originality, always!!

that's what music desperately needs today.

keep it up!

[99Z155]

Thats pretty fricken sick.

[SymposiumOfGoose]

Really good. I liked it a lot was drumming to part of it but stopped to listen. How did you create the synthesized parts of the song? Programs? Synthesizer?
