[YepGames]

Your first album was a bit melancolic, but very beautiful, this one tends to faster guitar and a bass, very good work.

[franciscomeza11]

@stockholmare11 thanks a lot for the kind comment. I create the drums beat by beat using EZDrummer on Cubase.

I have 2 albums available which you can check out on Itunes or Amazon or my store franciscomeza . bandcamp . com (the second album is also available on physical CD for you in the US)

These are all instrumental tracks. I am currently working on new music and I'm writing lyrics for it, it is not my forte but will give it a try :)

thanks again, hope you check out the albums

[heavymetaldude1234]

[hmmm5000]

I also have the same guitar and love it. Got it at Guitar Center on clearance for $1300. I know right!?

[franciscomeza11]

@hmmm5000 you got real lucky there :) congrats

[hmmm5000]

@franciscomeza11 I know!! I went into guitar center looking for a SG standard thinking the Les Paul standard was way too much money and then found this hanging on the wall.. couldn't believe it. Anyways take care!!:D

[hmmm5000]

Hey I'll be purchasing your music on itunes soon. Love it!!!!

[franciscomeza11]

@hmmm5000 :) you rock thank for the support

[TheInvisibleCommment]

I DO believe in God... His name is Francisco Meza (who (i think) has recently lost weight!!! way to go man, keep it up and I really hope that in the future you release your third, fourth and fifth album and you´ll be famous as satriani petrucci and other guitar gods (like you) ... ) :D

[franciscomeza11]

[franciscomeza11]

@bboyserga thank you for the nice comment, cheers

[andreolbrich]

Nice stuff!

Some parts were tooo "classy" for my taste, but I really digged most of the parts.

[AcousticDreams0]

This is pretty tight man, I agree with that big stretch at 5:04. You have obviously been playing for a long time! haha.

[Ewel233]

[Metallicafan5995]

[HeyItsCoop]

[madchild1112]

what are the chords to the clean part?

[franciscomeza11]

@madchild1112 i really don't know much about chord names but it would be Dminor, some form of C major and a weird A sharp something :).... remember it is tuned Eflat

[everlars]

eres un Dios, compones excelente, una pregunta para la bateria usas ezdrum pero como ejecutas con un teclado midi?

[franciscomeza11]

@everlars muchas gracias por el amable comentario, la bateria la creo usando el midi drum map de cubase, recuerda que el ezdrummer es un plug-in nada mas, ejecutar algo asi en un teclado a mi se me es imposible

[madchild1112]

Whens the new albums man? Iv'e been eagerly awaiting it!

[franciscomeza11]

@madchild1112 Hi man, in response to your comment, the album is out now, look it up on Itunes if you like or at franciscomeza . bandcamp . com, cheers

The most EPIC transition in the world !

AWESOME, LOVE IT

I HATE it metalheads don't enjoy an awesome clean solo.... GOSH, PURE EPICNESS

5 *'s Even though they dont do that n e more xP

[artem6000]

ok honestly ur solos are TOP NOTCH im very inspired to get back into songwriting thnx to u

do u plan on putting vocals on any of ur songs?

[franciscomeza11]

@artem6000 thank you very much, i'm glad i helped you get inspired. at the moment I am not looking into working with vocals, but you never know, take care

[artem6000]

@franciscomeza11 I wanted to ask you how you developed your speed? I am moderately fast, but I still can't play Kirk solos or Mustaine solos.

[artem6000]

do u plan on putting vocals on any of ur songs?

[uKrease]

Very tasteful indeed ;)

[Skullcrusher1]

I like this one a LOT! Reminds me of Iced Earth somewhere around the Dark Saga/Something Wicked This Way Comes Era.

[steveskull]

hey, good job. could you tell me what DAW software you used to mix with and what did you use to program the drums with?? i've been using piano roll in fl studio with superior drummer, but can only program the drums then import to adobe audition as one track. i want to be able to import each drum as a seperate track so i have more control.

[franciscomeza11]

@steveskull hi thanks, i use Cubase and ezdrummer, i have to import each drum part myself, i think that superior has a fuction to do it for you with cubase, good luck

[Andithewicked]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Sound! and the les paul rocks! I need one too

[alexxslaxxxxxx]

me encanta esta cancion xP tambien la otra que tiene un estilo metalcore..exelente francisco good job =) oye como grabas el ezdrummer? D: yo no se como grabarlo ni como usarlo lo abro con FL studio

[matthijs97]

do you have the tabs for this?

[franciscomeza11]

@matthijs97 unfortunately no, i'm terrible writing tabs

[CashWasALegend]

Absolutely awesome.

[Metallify101]

FUCK YEA!

[osmosis2259]

2 people missed the like button...

[franciscomeza11]

@osmosis2259 :) thanks for watching

[WrestlingClique]

Dude, you are seriously sick!! You should be playing with the big timers.

[barqs1898]

all of your songs are amazing - the definition of true enduring talent

[franciscomeza11]

@barqs1898 much appreciated man... i noticed yo are in the US, make sure to check out my first album "Innocence of Insanity" on Itunes, Amazon or Zune, take care

[TheFith]

I'm...I am floored. Somebody help me up, that song kicked me in the teeth! WOW!

[carlfoggin]

Great guitar tone and great playing. I just bought one of these LPs. What other gear were you using when you recorded this track - specifically for the soloing?

[franciscomeza11]

@carlfoggin thanks, the answer is in the description always. I recorded it using the guitar port from line6 straight to the computer

[carlfoggin]

@franciscomeza11 Shoot, I can't believe that tone is coming from a Line 6!

[franciscomeza11]

@carlfoggin yep that's right :), my entire first album was recorded with the port or the pod x3 live, check it out on amazon or itunes, it is called Innocence of Insanity and all tracks have a video in my channel, this particular track is for my second solo album in the making... I am actually editing a new video I hope to have posted in a few hours.

[AndreyAngulo]

just imagine Francisco Meza playing his music live on concert

[rwivie]

awesome guitar playing man!

[never555100]

dude this is epic need this sond downloaded

[HaZzIm666]

es una cancion excelente, tienes mucho talento saludos desde mexico

[SkyDelta52]

Im pretty sure Kirk Hammett is saying "Man i wish i was this guy"

[ParanoidPaal]

Hah, I love the swing like part around 2:00. Brilliant.

Yet another amazing song! :D

[MightyOwned]

Nice song, as always.

I recommend getting something different then EZDrummer, however. Your mixes really bother me simply because of the drums. The snare especially, sounds really, really bad. Not because of your mixing ability, but because of the crap sample Toontracks give. I feel your guitar/bass tone will benefit with better drum samples.

I recommend something like Steven Slate Drums, Addictive Drums, or if you can afford it, Superior Drummer w/ Metal Foundry.

[paradiseregain]

Excellent !!

[boboblaw]

dude i love your songs, i just found you today an im hooked

[TheXXxPrOgAmErxXx]

awesome guitar playing!!

[naughtypersian]

holy crap that intro riff! thats wut im talkin bout! nice man!

[uKrease]

Very tasteful music my friend...you going to go very far with that axe in your hands \m/

[chut0674]

Cool video guys, and song. I like the song title to. Restless Minds is actually the name of my band, but I don't mind. I guess we think alike. Well, keep up the good work, and when you get a chance, check out some of my songs. B.t.w., my songs are not as heavy as yours, but who knows, you might like them. My 1st album should be out in a month, or so.

[jerey34]

do u have a download link to this???

this is amazing!

[franciscomeza11]

@jerey34 thanks, this track is yet to be released. Check my first album called Innocence of Insanity you can download it on Itunes and Amazon worldwide for less than 8 bucks.

[mastermetal777]

What tuning is this song in?

[franciscomeza11]

@mastermetal777 answer to FAQ are always in the description, thansk for watching

[slywest72]

[zzzcvbn2000]

[mephisto39]

I have to say that this is your best song yet!! I can't even wait for your next album. Keep up the excellent work.

[skiidooskiidoo]

i fu#$#ing love this song!

[Alkinoos7]

Stunning job Fransisco! It's really remarkable, the fact that you don't work with tabs or written notes. This fact alone makes you an exceptional musician!

[XXDemonXSlayer13XX]

Do you live in Toronto? Cause in one of your vids you had a blue jays jersey on.

[franciscomeza11]

@XXDemonXSlayer13XX yes, i'm in TO

[heini92]

you are really a genious on guitar, I admire your talent :)

Keep it up, you will be big!!

[CelticsFan21]

you are one of my favorite guitarists, you are so versatile in your style and phrasing, your just an all around great musician

[greg2840]

And now my mind is nolonger my own ,I have become a machine ,programmed to do as Im told,my mind is no longer my own,free me ,I beg thee,free me.Crying ,kneeling,on my own, my mind is no longer free .I have been bound ,screaming silence .Free me ,I beg thee,Free me .On my own ,my mind surrounds me,fools me, whirling a path of unkown ,I beg thee free me

[JRTET21]

who's drumming?

[franciscomeza11]

@JRTET21 me... sort of... i create every single beat you hear with ezdrummer and cubase

[skiidooskiidoo]

my favorite song. i listen to everyday. i never get tired of it. i only listen to the best music: old sepultura, megadeth, old metallica, soulfly, fear factory and francisco meza. i can't wait for more of this music.

[franciscomeza11]

@skiidooskiidoo that is very kind of you, thanks, a new video is coming really soon, it will be a bit different though

[angnizam]

oye tu eres pa que tes en una super banda por que no haces tus propios riff's y solos de seguro te saldrian de lujo...

[franciscomeza11]

@angnizam todo esto son mis riffs y solos, yo escribo toda la musica y toco todos los instrumentos, saludos

[TheRapidFire94]

5:04 - Big stretch on your fingers. This is amazing I actually can't believe something like this can be made by a human. ..Oh wait, you are not man. You are machine! Good work mate, looking forward to seeing your new songs! Rage and Pain is still my favourite song, it has been for a very long time!

[glint20]

1:51 til 2:20 is my favourite part :)

[nettyswobb1]

Amazing, truly amazing, but I'd recommend Superior Drummer 2 instead of EzDrummer Drum Kit From Hell. Much nicer sounding drums and so on :)

[actfjr]

I'm a Bazilian..

What is the name of the program used to edited this video ?

[MataGipis]

oh my fucking god!! the itro riff raped me !!

[guitarshredder123457]

Incredible song you should have a record label all your music is fantastic

[santiagosale]

[mclovinninja666]

Holy shit!!!! is there any way that you can put some tabs or any kind of way that we can play too? cuz that song was amazing and i'd like to be able to play like that one day.

[AcziomDesigns]

Good to know you are making a new album, you write the greatest instruments know to man, you have been a great influence for me over the years. Thank you FranciscoMeza11

[Dankadingy]

Outstanding, like always! I really like how you put this song together. The clean part is just so damn beautiful, and the solo following it is sick. Keep on rockin' /,,/

Can't wait for your next album!

[URSoFired555]

Pretty sweet job on this creation of yours. You know, I'm probably thinking that in the future when I get the right recording equipment and practice hard enough that I'll be doing this kind of stuff some day. I think the work you do on your music is pretty amazing. :)

[luisownzyou]

This can either do 2 things to me... make me pick up my guitar... or just burn it...

i think ill just pick it up XP Good Job

[ironbird6901]

Inspiring as always

[TodayAt420]
