Political junkies will no doubt perk up to hear that an oar belonging to Pierre Trudeau is also part of the project. Astronaut Chris Hadfield’s mission patch is part of the lining for the guitar case.</div><div style="width: auto;">A strange idea, isn’t it, to take a number of items that make up our national mythology, and put them together as a guitar? That’s exactly what Taylor, an award-winning broadcaster, wanted to do. And yes, people did look at him kind of funny.</div><div style="width: auto;">“There were a few people who thought I was kind of crazy,” he admits over the phone from his Toronto home. “Some just didn’t get it at all. Once I started to get things like Trudeau’s oar, people actually started to get it a little, though there are still others who don’t quite fathom it. It’s a hard thing to explain in just a few sentences.”</div><div style="width: auto;">Taylor came up with the idea of Voyageur in 1995, when the Quebec Referendum dominated headlines. It took him a number of years to gather what would turn out to be 64 pieces of bone, metal, wood, stone and fabric, tangible symbols of our shared culture, from every province and territory. He passed them over to Nova Scotia luthier George Riszanyi to build into a playable instrument. Since it was finished in 2006, it has been in the hands of a host of famous (Bruce Cockburn, Stephen Fearing, Ron Sexsmith) and not-so-famous guitarists.</div><div style="width: auto;">In Edmonton it will be played by Mike McDonald of Jr. Gone Wild, Bobby Cameron and The Command Sisters, and used by Taylor in a presentation that addresses the problems we have with culture in this country, and how such things as “NHL hockey and Tim Hortons have colonized what it means to be Canadian.”</div><div style="width: auto;">“I’ve done all kinds of events across this country and the guitar ignites something in people. I get stories from them. I think there’s this genuine impulse for Canadians to want to have something that is complicated and nuanced, not jingoistic, that explains their feelings about the country.”</div><div style="width: auto;">This is where we flip over to the less flashy objects that the guitar contains, the ones that don’t hold marquee name value but go much deeper. Like the Patuanak moose shin that came from Métis artist and songwriter Don Freed of Saskatchewan, or the piece of wood from Nova Scotia’s Home For Coloured Children, which was established in the early 1900s by James Robinson Johnston, the province’s first black lawyer. Mastodon ivory from the Yukon, whale baleen from Nunavut are small but essential reminders of the disparate histories that this country contains.</div></div><div id="2"><div style="width: auto;">One of the items most cherished by Taylor is a knife gifted to him by the family of Joe Lebobe, a champion oyster shucker from P.E.I. and a member of the Mi’kmaq First Nation. Taylor said the family was proud of their famous relative, but somewhat bemused at Taylor’s excitement. While it might not seem like the most important part of the guitar, Taylor believes that it has as much significance as Trudeau’s oar or Henderson’s stick.</div><div style="width: auto;">“This is fundamentally what the project is about,” he insists. “I’m thrilled that I have all of those other things, but they don’t mean anything more than other stories told by people in communities that nobody ever talks about, but who are nonetheless fundamental to the fabric of who we are.”</div><div style="width: auto;">The guitar has taken up much of Taylor’s time since it first appeared at Canada Day celebrations in 2006. It’s still a bit of a struggle to make people understand what the project is, and the importance of knitting together a shared culture in such a sparsely populated land.</div><div style="width: auto;">“At the end of this people always come up and want to share their stories. I love to hear them, but more importantly I hope that they tell each other, because it’s something that we need to start doing. We can’t just depend on Tim Hortons and NHL hockey as shorthand for who we are. It’s just not good enough.”</div></div><div class="copyright">© Copyright (c) The Edmonton Journal</div><div class="clear" style="clear: both; height: 1px; margin-top: -1px; overflow: hidden;"> </div><div class="rule_grey_solid" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(229, 229, 229); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; float: left; height: 4px; width: 460px;"> </div><div class="clear" style="clear: both; height: 1px; margin-top: -1px; overflow: hidden;"> </div><div class="story_tool_hr"><div class="story_tool"><ul class="bullet" style="margin: 0px; padding: 5px 0px 0px 5px;"><li class="email" style="background-image: url(http://www.edmontonjournal.com/nprd08/images/icons/email.gif); background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; float: left; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px 20px 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 5px;"><a href="" rel="nofollow" style="border: none; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; outline: 0px;"><span style="display: block; margin-left: 20px; padding-left: 8px;">E-mail this Article</span></a></li>

When it comes to hard rock bass playing, Geezer Butler wrote the book. That he continues to perform with every bit the raw intensity of his early days in Black Sabbath is an inspiration for players of all ages and all styles. With the Stray Cats, Lee Rocker took the upright bass—already one of the coolest instruments ever—and somehow made it even more hip, slapping the snot out of it to codify the sound of rockabilly bass.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">"To our ears, Tal Wilkenfeld personifies the bright future of rock bass. From her work with Jeff Beck, Herbie Hancock and Joe Walsh to her fleet-fingered solo work, Tal’s refreshing fusion of jazz, soul, funk, and rock is something we’ve had our ears and eyes on for a long time now.

Tosin discusses <a href="http://www.ricktoone.com/2012/02/blur-8-string-extended-range-guitar.html" target="blank">Blur 8-string extended range guitar</a> beginning at the 8:40 mark.</em><br />
Rebecca Dirks is my favorite music tech interviewer. She always floats to the surface, no matter the strength of the personality she is matched against. Bemused, and just so slightly detached, she is often more informed about signal chain than the actual artist. I love how she catches musicians off guard.<br />
Zing!<br />
It's simply great on-camera journalism.<br />
So I was delighted when Brett Eversole sent me a link to Premier Guitar's Rig Rundown with <em>Animals As Leaders</em> onstage in Chicago. Would she pin them against the (metaphorical) wall — or would Javier & Tosin hold their own?<br />
Tosin gave a gracious interview, clearly articulating his rig and also the unique features of 'Blur'. It was thrilling to see the instrument in professional context, part of our ongoing efforts to evaluate the technology as he travels with the guitar on tour.<br />
Tour discussions with Tosin Abasi and Evan Brewer have provided incredibly invaluable insight, allowing me to adapt, adjust, and extend my thinking as a luthier.<br />
I only wish Javier's <a href="http://www.ricktoone.com/2012/03/javier-reyes-viceroy-8-string-guitar.html" target="blank">Viceroy 8-string guitar</a> had not been stolen. We shared a moment at AAL Camp, lamenting the loss of that guitar and the unique sound it would have brought to <em>Animals As Leaders</em>.<br />
Perhaps one day it will reappear.<br />
Tosin uses 'Blur' to play a song called <em>New Eden</em> which features notes in the extended range section of the fretboard, beyond the integrated capo. Note how he has adapted to reaching the controls via both hands. My proprietary 3-D control surface allows him flexibility to prioritize which hand remains in contact with the guitar during play.<br />

One of the things I noticed right away about <a href="http://www.ricktoone.com/2012/02/blur-8-string-extended-range-guitar.html" target="blank">Blur 8-String Extended Range Guitar</a> is all of the technologies integrate, synthesizing into a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Neck, bridges, tuner, electronics, body resonance.<br />
When I tested Blur in the shop, my ears were excited...a reaction Tosin had as well, when the instrument arrived. The playing experience is very different from a conventional guitar. 'Hyper-real' is how he described the sound, and I love that description.<br />
Notes blossom with immediacy and intimacy, spreading sound ripples throughout the playing space. Highs are sweet, distinct, chiming, beautiful. Lows are powerful, quick, deep, clear. Lows and highs are balanced. When he emailed me early this morning, sharing the first live performance clip with the guitar, I was awestruck by the tonality. Gorgeous.<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>Hey Rick,<br />Hope that you are well!<br />This is a video of me playing 'blur' on stage for the first time. I am happy to own such a unique and inspiring instrument. It really has such personality. Evocative.<br />Hope you like the clip.<br />
Cheers,<br />Tosin</strong></blockquote>
Listening to the video I realized, with this instrument, it is possible to finally hear the full extent of Tosin's astonishing playing technique. He has such mastery over dynamics. In this live performance of <em>New Eden</em> I <em>feel</em> the emotion in his playing. He and the guitar are truly working together as one — the highest objective to strive for as a luthier. So honored.<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>Tosin was playing his Ibanez all night, clean/distorted and so on....but when he pulled out <em>Blur</em> for that one tune....WoW....I was immediately struck with clarity. The low notes were so round and even, the high notes rang like a bell.<br />Keep doing what you're doing, because it's way ahead of the rest!<br />
Harvey Valdez</strong></blockquote>
I was sorry to have missed Tosin, Javier, and Matt when <em>Animals As Leaders</em> played Philadelphia last week. It would have been so exciting to have seen them do this live. But it was Valentine's Day, plans with Masi, and I am in love.</div>

He is just very popular and no matter what the question is his fans vote for him. That is just wrong, only because he has lots of fans doesn't mean he is the best guitarist. Try looking at John Petrucci's solo's and Tomo's solos and just admit it This guy should be on the top. As far as technicality and discipline he is the best. He shows his mastery in music theory and the tone of his guitar is just awesome in every song he plays. And again... Who the heck is Tomo Milicevic? +4Proof that God exists!... Cant believe he isn't in the top. DM2414 More comments about John Petrucci 10% 3Matt Bellemy 9% 4Buckethead +6People who would put Matt Bellemy up there obviously have no knowledge of the guitar what so ever. +1obvious choice is obvious. Matt Bellamy's good too. Who's Tomo Millicevic with 47. 3 votes? Oh and Tom Morello should be in the top 5. TECHNICAL GUITARIST! AymanKabir 5% 5Steve Vai +1Technique is about control of one's instrument; this is about playing precisely as well as quickly. And in songs like 'Tender Surrender' and 'Call it Sleep' Vai's ability to control every tiny noise of his instrument is mind-blowing. And this is still technique, rather than musicianship or artistry or whatever. Matt belamy ahead of vai? This is ridiculous Saw Steve Vai, Joe Satriani & John Petrucci live in a G3 concert. Steve Vai could play whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted with ease. John Petrucci was very good but was obviously putting a lot of effort into things. Joe Satriani was a step up from Petrucci - just a pity that the guys he had in his band were just like background noise. 4% 6Eddie Van Halen Eddie Van Halen is the best technical guitarist of all time. He can do things that only a few others can do. Steve Vai is right up there with him, but Eddie gets the crown by a nose. All right, whomever thinks that Eddie isn't the most technically proficient guitarist ever is an Ass. Rolling stone even ranked him no.2 after Hendrix saying and I quote "Eddie is the most technically proficient Guitarist that ever lived, but hendrix had much, much more soul!. " His technical innovations are unrivaled; He revolutionized tapping, used a power drill at the beginning of the song "Poundcake", and used the tuning dials on the guitar not only to adjust but used them in the Instrumental "Cathedral" to sound like a synthesizer. He also had his guitars made of chainsaw parts, and other weird shit not normally used giving him that unique sound that no matter if you can pick like him, or play as fat as him. You will never duplicate his playing. EVER!. 4% 7Kirk Hammett 3% 8Tom Morello 3% 9Herman Li 2% 10Dimebag Darrell I agree... The ability that he had to use harmonics make a guitar squeal was amazing. Just cover some of his song and you will understand! Related Lists Fastest Guitarist Ever Best Looking Singer / Guitarist Guitarist With The Most Feeling Most Technical Drummers of All Time Greatest Guitarist Duels / Face Offs Get CodeAdd This List to Your Site The Contenders 2% 11Joe Satriani most technical for me. He does so many different techniques in just one song sharm7064 How can Satriani not be in the top ten? another crappy list vinzomo 2% 12Synyster Gates 2% 13Zakk Wylde 2% 14Yngwie Malmsteen 1% 15Dave Mustaine Well I've seen guys that are just as technical as mustaine but no one more technical(ever heard a song called rattlehead? Or maybe this day we fight? ) but in addition to this he also does vocals which I've never seen the other ultra technical guitarists do so I'll pick mustaine. Also I feel it's worth mentioning that I haven't seen anyone surpass him in any level of guitar playing ability(not just technical ability)but there are tons of guys who are as good as him in most or al areas but they don't do vocals. Although I'll admit that I'm biased because megadeth us my favourite band and I don't play guitar so I might be mistaken. But I'm stil going with mustaine. 0.7% 16George Lynch Master of octaves (especially the gothic octave), classical chromatics, and legato techniques. Marty Friedman #2. 0.7% 17Mikael Akerfeldt 0.6% 18Tosin Abasi The only reason this guy isn't number one is that he isn't particularly well know. Google 'Animals As Leaders' and listen to a song or two. He is one of the most, insanely, ridiculously technical guitarists ever, along with Jeff Loomis and Ron Jarzombek. 0.4% 19Nuno Bettencourt He isn't the best technically, maybe on rhythms and soloing he is really good too, so yes he is really cool 0.4% 20Guthrie Govan 0.4% 21Chris Broderick Kirk hammett is not good technical guitarist a great technical guitarist is Broderick he's not my favorite but in technical view he almost beat anyone Petrucci is another great technical guitarist My favorite guitarist is Mustaine I don't vote for him so stop putting Hammett and Synyster Emo Chris broderick must be at top 5, just hear 0.4% 22Ron Jarzombek This dude must be the most incredibly, unbelievably, inhumanly technical guitarist ever. He synchronises his guitar with scenes from movies and cartoons (see 'A Wild Hare by Spastic Ink- synchronised to Bambi, or 'Cereal Mouse' by the same band) He writes loads of stuff in 12 tone, which is one of the most difficult ways of writing, and he does this thing where he assigns notes to letters of the alphabet and spells out words, like his name for example. The songs still sound amazing after all this! He is the most unbelievably awesome guitarist ever. He has written an album with 45 songs, which can be played from any song and still sound great, and sounds like one 45 minute song if played from the start. He has written an album of songs synchronised to scenes from movies. And, he writes everything in twelve tone, a really complicated system of playing instruments. Listen to 'Cretaceous Chasm' by Blotted Science and you will know what I mean... 0.3% 23Steve, Righ? 0.3% 24Michael Romeo 0.3% 25Alvin Lee 0.2% 26Alexi Laiho 0.2% 27Ritchie Blackmore 0.2% 28Shawn Lane 0.2% 29Paul Gilbert I admit I can't believe that Paul wasn't part of the best list until now. He's amongst the best out there, both in technique and song-writing 0.2% 30Muhammed Suiçmez My gosh! This guy is THE most technical guitarist that ever stepped earth! He made one album by himself and played guitar on Necrophagist 's Epitaph... Like a boss.

Joe Satriani was a step up from Petrucci - just a pity that the guys he had in his band were just like background noise.<div class="commentlinks" style="height: 33px; margin: -31px 0px 0px -20px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; width: auto;"></div></div></span></div></div><div class="listitem" itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(233, 233, 233); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; clear: both; padding: 20px 0px;"><span class="vote" id="i62256" style="display: block; height: 0px; position: absolute; text-align: right; width: 660px;" task="addvote"><div class="voted" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px 3px inset; background-color: #def3f8; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-left-radius: 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px; border-top-left-radius: 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgb(197, 226, 232); box-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px 3px inset; float: right; height: 31px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 61px;"><span style="color: #3c87b1; display: block; font-size: 22px; margin-top: 7px;">4%</span></div></span><div class="theitem" style="float: left; width: 660px;"><span style="color: #3c87b1; display: block; font-size: 22px; line-height: 26px; margin: 3px 115px 25px 45px;"><span class="single" style="background-color: #3285a7; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-left-radius: 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px; border-top-left-radius: 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px; border: 0px solid rgb(50, 133, 167); color: white; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; height: 31px; line-height: 31px; margin: -3px 0px 0px -45px; position: absolute; text-align: center; width: 31px;">6</span><span itemprop="name">Eddie Van Halen</span></span><span id="c62256" itemprop="description"><div class="comment" id="cid698392" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.2s linear; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px 0px 16px 20px; transition: color 0.2s linear;" thumbs="0"><span class="openq" style="background-image: url(http://static.thetoptens.com/img/jpgs.jpg); background-position: -186px -242px; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #b7d6ea; display: block; height: 9px; margin: 0px 0px 0px -20px; position: absolute; width: 13px;"></span>Eddie Van Halen is the best technical guitarist of all time.

Rolling stone even ranked him no.2 after Hendrix saying and I quote "Eddie is the most technically proficient Guitarist that ever lived, but hendrix had much, much more soul!. "<br />
<br />
His technical innovations are unrivaled;<br />
He revolutionized tapping, used a power drill at the beginning of the song "Poundcake", and used the tuning dials on the guitar not only to adjust but used them in the Instrumental "Cathedral" to sound like a synthesizer. He also had his guitars made of chainsaw parts, and other weird shit not normally used giving him that unique sound that no matter if you can pick like him, or play as fat as him. You will never duplicate his playing. EVER!.</div><div class="commentlinks" style="height: 33px; margin: -31px 0px 0px -20px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; width: auto;"></div></span></div></div><div class="listitem" itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(233, 233, 233);

Or maybe this day we fight? ) but in addition to this he also does vocals which I've never seen the other ultra technical guitarists do so I'll pick mustaine. Also I feel it's worth mentioning that I haven't seen anyone surpass him in any level of guitar playing ability(not just technical ability)but there are tons of guys who are as good as him in most or al areas but they don't do vocals. Although I'll admit that I'm biased because megadeth us my favourite band and I don't play guitar so I might be mistaken. But I'm stil going with mustaine.</div><div class="commentlinks" style="height: 33px; margin: -31px 0px 0px -20px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; width: auto;"></div></span></div></div><div class="listitem" itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(233, 233, 233); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; clear: both; padding: 20px 0px;"><span class="vote" id="i67385" style="display: block; height: 0px; position: absolute; text-align: right; width: 660px;" task="addvote"><div class="voted" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px 3px inset; background-color: #def3f8; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-left-radius: 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px; border-top-left-radius: 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgb(197, 226, 232); box-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px 3px inset; float: right; height: 31px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 61px;"><span style="color: #3c87b1; display: block; font-size: 22px; margin-top: 7px;">0.7%</span></div></span><div class="theitem" style="float: left; width: 660px;"><span style="color: #3c87b1; display: block; font-size: 22px; line-height: 26px; margin: 3px 115px 25px 45px;"><span class="single" style="background-color: #3285a7; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-left-radius: 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px; border-top-left-radius: 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px; border: 0px solid rgb(50, 133, 167); color: white; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; height: 31px; line-height: 31px; margin: -3px 0px 0px -45px; position: absolute; text-align: center; width: 31px;">16</span><span itemprop="name">George Lynch</span></span><span id="c67385" itemprop="description"><div class="comment" id="cid84782" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.2s linear; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px 0px 16px 20px; transition: color 0.2s linear;" thumbs="0"><span class="openq" style="background-image: url(http://static.thetoptens.com/img/jpgs.jpg); background-position: -186px -242px; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #b7d6ea; display: block; height: 9px; margin: 0px 0px 0px -20px; position: absolute; width: 13px;"></span>Master of octaves (especially the gothic octave), classical chromatics, and legato techniques.

<div class="vdesc">The String Quintet No. 3 in C major, K. 515 was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Like all of Mozart's string quintets, it is a "viola quintet" in that it is scored for string quartet and an extra viola (two violins, two violas and cello). The work was completed on April 19, 1787, less than a month before the completion of his stormy G Minor Quintet, K. 516. This would not be the last time that a great pair of C major/G minor works of the same form would be published in close proximity and assigned consecutive Köchel numbers. The following year, the 40th (G minor) and 41st (C major) symphonies would be completed within a few weeks of each other. This quintet inspired Schubert to write his own string quintet in the same key (his scoring involves two cellos rather than two violas as in Mozart's quintet). The opening theme of Schubert's work retained many of the characteristics of Mozart's opening theme, such as decorative turns, irregular phrase lengths, and rising staccato arpeggios (the latter appear only in Schubert's recapitulation). The work is in standard four movement form: I. Allegro II. Andante III. Menuetto: Allegretto IV. Allegro The first movement is massive in scope. Indeed, it is the largest "sonata-allegro" movement before Beethoven, usually taking about a quarter of an hour to perform. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: <a href="http://www.mozart-archiv.de/" target="_blank">http://www.mozart-archiv.de/</a>FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: <a href="http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2" target="_blank">http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2</a>ALSO check out these cool sites: <a href="http://musopen.org/" target="_blank">http://musopen.org/</a>and <a href="http://imslp.org/wiki/" target="_blank">http://imslp.org/wiki/</a>------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

<div class="post_content">When work started on #17 for Tosin Abasi, it was intended to be stained a pink-ish red tone modelled from a shell, but first the stain came out too dark and in addition, some red stain leaked through the binding and down on the side. The back was stained black, but the color combination with the rosewood neck simply did not work. Due to time constraints, the decision was made to put it on the scrap heap and build a new body. Eventually a new neck was built out of maple and ebony. The guitar remains on the scrap heap for cosmetic reasons – but it simply sounds too good, piano like and huge, so it is kept around as a demo.<br />

Legendary Tosin Abasi Guitar Clinic at Zula Bar – Review</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Tosin Abasi is considered to be one of the world leaders in guitar playing development, both in terms of his technical ability and his range of guitar tones. His playing blends advanced techniques, ranging from intense finger tapping, to poly-rhythms, sweep picked arpeggios, high speed picking and Hybrid picking in a way which is not only articulate and dynamically rich but also unique in terms of his choice of note values. His music can be described as Sci-fi Cinematic-Afro-Metal-Jazz-Electronica-Neo Classical-Funk. Some label it Prog Metal… The music is so laden in an advanced form of the kinds of grooves that B-Boys would Robot, Pop and Lock to, that you might start to see how many music styles are crossing over into each other, more and more, and that it’s a required evolutionary step in human development.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
When asked, at the clinic, what gave him the impetus to focus his strengths in those particular directions, he said that his advanced technical development began, when initially listening to bands like Nirvana, he stumbled upon technical geniuses, like Yngwie Malmsteen. This eventually developed into an affinity toward Prog Metal bands like Meshuggah. From there, he started to develop his technique to match his musical ideas. The urge to express the fiery surges of musical energy, eventually became his lauded musical style. Obviously, without his extremely powerful musical ideas, his music might have become pigeon-holed by typical mass media misrepresentation and lost under the banner of unmarketability. His tenure with bands, playing in similar styles, followed by a one year long <nobr><a class="FAtxtL" href="http://bothners.co.za/articles/legendary-tosin-abasi-guitar-clinic-at-zula-bar-review/#" id="FALINK_1_0_0" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(28, 125, 255) !important; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(28, 125, 255) !important; display: inline !important; padding-bottom: 1px !important;">course</a></nobr> at The <nobr><a class="FAtxtL" href="http://bothners.co.za/articles/legendary-tosin-abasi-guitar-clinic-at-zula-bar-review/#" id="FALINK_2_0_1" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(28, 125, 255) !important; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(28, 125, 255) !important; display: inline !important; padding-bottom: 1px !important;">Atlanta Music</a></nobr> Institute, and a strong intellect, make Tosin Abasi and Animals as Leaders much more relevant than the mass media of fashion masquerading as musicality. Fortunately, Ibanez has created a masterpiece instrument and found the right protagonist to convey expression and social conscience, in a way which is useful to real human development. Tosin Abasi is not shallow…</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
When asked about his American-Nigerian roots, and the effect on his musicality, he said that he was not influenced so much by the music he listened to around his parents, which was more “tropical” to him but that there could be a subliminal or genetic reference.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Ibanez’s Tosin Abasi Signature Series guitar was mind-blowingly rich in tone. He showed us the tone from pickup position to position, and how the instrument goes from sounding like a well balanced neo-classical lead guitar, to grind-core, twang, funk and be-bop, without having to do any pedal switching. Its DiMarzio <nobr><a class="FAtxtL" href="http://bothners.co.za/articles/legendary-tosin-abasi-guitar-clinic-at-zula-bar-review/#" id="FALINK_3_0_2" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(28, 125, 255) !important; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(28, 125, 255) !important; display: inline !important; padding-bottom: 1px !important;">Ionizer</a></nobr> 8™ pickups were designed by Steve Blucher, to Tosin Abasi’s specifications. Steve Blucher is the man who designs pickups for artists like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
His sound rig includes a Fractal Audio MFC-101 Midi Foot controller, a Fractal Audio AXE-FX Ultra system, a custom made Boomerang Phrase Sampler, a Furman M-8 Power Conditioner, and a Voodoo Lab Ground Control.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Instead of using an amp onstage, he managed to run his rig directly through the PA system, using amp simulations. The tone was very powerful in harmonics and showed great string to string balance, so that the higher pitched passages were equal in harmonic strength and volume, to the lower pitched ones. The clarity per note was well defined, when he played at great speed, in whichever range. All of this, without losing a well rounded sense of what high gain guitar sounds are famous for: wailing, grinding and having vocal qualities that move human ear-drums in a way that keeps people coming back for more.</div>

Animals as Leaders</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
When Tosin Abasi released his debut solo album under the moniker ANIMALS AS LEADERS in 2009, few would have predicted the band’s meteoric rise over the next two years. Although Abasi earned acclaim as the lead guitarist in the Washington, D.C.-based metalcore act Reflux, it was still a long-shot that an instrumental album of progressive metal with jazz, electronic and ambient flourishes would develop anything more than a cult following.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Fast-forward two-plus years to “Weightless,” the group’s sophomore effort, and ANIMALS AS LEADERS is revered worldwide as a trailblazing pioneer of modern heavy music. The group’s genre-defying compositions have earned extensive praise — Steve Vai called the band “the future of creative, heavy virtuoso guitar playing,” and MetalSucks recently ranked Abasi #2 on their list of modern metal’s top guitarists — and the diversity of their music has enabled them to tour with a wide variety of acts, including Deftones, Underoath, Circa Survive, BTBAM, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Faceless, Thursday, Dredg and, on the 2010 Summer Slaughter tour, even Decapitated.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Whereas the group’s self-titled debut was a collaboration between Abasi and Periphery’s Misha Mansoor, “Weightless” features the recording debut of ANIMALS AS LEADERS, the true band — that is, Abasi (guitars), Javier Reyes (guitars) and Navene Koperweis (drums). After nearly two years of touring together, the trio wrote and recorded “Weightless” together in mid-2011, with Koperweis producing and Reyes mixing. The group debuted a new track, “Isolated Incidents,” during their inaugural headlining tour this summer, which included sellout shows from coast-to-coast — a sign that as quickly as ANIMALS AS LEADERS have risen, the best is yet to come.</div>
