Here's a great collection of play throughs from a collection of great musicians. They all have a unique progressive, instrumental focus and skills that will melt your brain. Check 'em out and show your support if you enjoy \m/
While most of the females in this weekly segment have been pretty solid at their musical craft, I think Sarah Longfield takes first place right now. After watching her guitar cover of "CAFO" by Animals As Leaders, I knew she would be the subject of this week.
Longfield's performance on her guitar is jaw dropping. I never knew anyone could shred like that, especially not a 19 year old female. Her fingers move effortlessly on the frets and she puts a ton of guitarists to shame that's for sure. She is a true inspiration for any young female who wants to take up the guitar.
While Longfield has her solo work that she posts on YouTube, she also is part of an instrumental band from Wisconsin named The Fine Constant. Guitarist Steve-O Wilkes, bassist Sam Laitsch, and drummer Steve Meyer join Longfield for a project that is remniscent of Animals As Leaders. While all the members have sick talent and work well together, I found myself focusing more on Longfield's riffs. They're pretty flawless and know how to capture your attention.
The experimental progressive metal act does this that. Jazz influences can be heard in tracks off their latest album "Myriad." "Paradoxos" is one of my favorites as it infuses jazz and djent with a little funk. Listening to The Fine Constant is an experience in itself, I've never heard anything like it and that's a great thing.
If that wasn't enough, Longfield can also sing pretty damn well. So go check her out on YouTube and buy "Myriad" off the band's Facebook.
Serious guitar talent Sarah Longfield has stepped beyond her solo work to form a complex instrumental progressive metal group, The Fine Constant. They released a video for a new track, "Transcending Perception" featuring awesome music... a spazing guitarist... and more awesome music. We shall forgive the spazing cause the guy obviously kicks ass on guitar if he's keeping up with Sarah Longfield. The Fine Constant will be releasing a full length album "Myriad" in a few weeks and it will most likely be great ear candy. For now, check out the video for "Transcending Perception" along with some other videos of Sarah Longfield owning at life. I recommend the hell out of the Animals As Leaders cover.
This buffet is dedicated to awesome guitar players. Feast your eyes on skill and shred.
