Hey ash, thats a pretty neat legato you got goin on there. Are you using your right thumb to mute the rest of your strings?

[ashilan2]

It is mostly the bass of my thumb and palm more then the thumb that I use for muting when needed.

@lolPLAZ are you looking at the same thing as me?? 1:26 ? he doesn't even use his pick!

[lolPLAZ]

@ozzy9691 I know what legato means buddy. I have studied music for several years, so don't try to tell me this is legato. Most of it is too articulate and the pick is too involved

[ozzy9691]

@lolPLAZ that's absolutely legato. legato means "smoothly" and in the world of guitars that means hammer ons and pull offs to make a smooth sound.

[lolPLAZ]

That was NOT legato...Just because you didn't strum doesn't make it legato.

Very tight!

Nice shredding man. I used to own that same guitar. Keep rocking!

necrophagists guitarist muhammed sucinez does bring in elements from classical music so most of the scales are taken from there and yes he does use minor scales, harominc natural or melodic im not sure google it! a note to ilan i first download your songs from music . download . com and im surprised by now you're not superfamous! it was years ago since i listened to them what have you done since then?

[RevilationGuitar91]

very nice but i can't see the tab :D

[Trentaur]

excellent playing!

Say; does necrophagist play a lot in Dminor on symmetrical shapes? because it reminded me of some Mohammed Necrophagist tones...im noob at this, so i might be wrong for all i care..

The sweep-picking lick was beautiful! Very well done. Now I really want to practice.

Awesome video! 5/5!
