Felix Martin: Avila Prog Metal Tapping piece - plus tour dates for the 12 stringer


The tune in this video was inspired by using tapping on the guitar (free hands technique) on modern progressive metal, specifically like the band Meshuggah and how they use complex rhythms in metal (musically called Polyrhythms, which are shown at the botton of the video)

I tried to do everything by tapping the guitar, such as power chords, muted sounding lines, disonant chords, etc. Almost everything with Polyrhythms.

The video was filmed inside a cable car in the Avila Park in Caracas, Venezuela. We wanted to see how what music would be inspired when playing in these conditions. It was very difficult as I was dizzy most of the time while playing, but the scenery was really amazing!

Guitars were recorded using a clean signal and later on pre-amped with an Axe-FX II. We were also using a mic signal to get the sound from the Cable car.

Phil Galatioto on Drums.
