When I got the notification, I thought that was launching the Modern Metal Academy. Hahahaha.

Been a big fan of Monuments for years and always wondered what you'd sound like in E standard - now we have it !! Great tone and another great vid

As always, phenomenal playing. Not just the technique but the ideas as well. Very unique style. More Monuments please!

Love that smile when the tone hits it just right!

I'm always super happy seeing you release new video! Don't need to say that you can make any guitar sound absolutely massive.

Made my day!! Good to see the man!

Niiice! Been missing your studio vids. Much respect and Mahalos 🤙

Sick tones and sick playing as always. Guitar looks great too

Glad to see you back it’s been a while but killer as always 🔥

Beautiful.

Gorgeous!

Good to see you doing a demo bro 😎👊🏻 love this Jackson I dig it 🔥🔥🔥💯💪🏻

The way you navigate the board without even doubting where you need to slide, or which open string you hit while making a chord, is I must say, impressive. You have a unique playstill and making a lesson on your approach could be killer

I was missing your videos, dude, great content as always!

Nice to have you back, Browne!

Welcome back!!🤘

Jackson is great!

Monuments gone standard tuning welcome back, king!

i love the sound with those duncans such great pickups you make it sound real good bro kinda reminds me of rabea massaad stuff a little bit super cool great vid john!!!

Saw u guys live in Houston! I was in the fron and git a fist bump from you! One of the best shows i’ve been! U guys are tight!!!!!

After hearing you play I forgot all about the guitar review brother. Absolutely beautiful playing,killer🔥

great video buddy!

These guitars are fantastic. I have the black one, very comfortable and great sounding guitar the most comfortable neck I have ever played on. It’s a very versatile guitar, the cleans sound amazing I’m digging the 4th position. I absolutely love this guitar.

this sounds epic haha cant wait to find out what the top secret plugin is

Awesome guitar!

Always love your vids bro

As a guy who was a teen in the 80's my advice would be to skip the "leather trousers" Here in the states we call them "catch me, fuck me pants".

The pinch at 7:06 brought a grin to your face. That moment totally made the video.

Bro u looked inspired with this one! Even in standard u got it sounding heavy 🤘

Playing Beat It on the 80s style Seafoam Green Jackson is peak, Browne. Despite it’s quirks the Floyd Rose is super comfortable when set up properly so it’s been hard not to pull the trigger on the shell pink version of this guitar.

Yes!

Sure do miss seeing you rip it up. Hope your new modern metal academy is kicking off soon. I know a lot of us are waiting 😉

can't recall anything you didn't make sound killer John, lol. G.A.S. after watching this.

John Browne!

Top Secret plug in 🤔 archetype Browne coming soon? Maybe from another company perhaps. Ill be watching.

“Top secret plugin” needs to be Neural’s next drop.

Browne the tone master

Oh yeah another Browne video

That guitar is insanely beautiful... Looking dapper yourself, Browne

Jackson fits you so much better than Mayones. My late buddy Jim would have one of those in an instant if he were still with us, always sang the praises of his Jacksons

Great to see a new video John, and that plugin sounds great.. I was genuinely disappointed to see you left Riffhard mate, it's not the same without your content on it. Any update on the new Modern metal academy project, and when it will go live?

Alder body sounds great !

You just married? Welcome back! Go ampero 2 stomp play😂

Nice performance in Calgary recently ✌️

Top secret plugin you say.

I hear some fuzz or some Swedish chainsaw type of distortion and love it! Wondering what plugin that is and when will it come out. Speaking of which, aren't you a pure hardware guy?

lesgoooo

I really hope they roll out some other colors for these.

Insane sound and play as always. But anyone noticed the "secret tone linear amplifier plugin" in the chain. What is this bro ?? haha Hope to have a video about this plugin. Rock on 🤘

That right hand is nothing less than a MACHINE!

WE NEED ANSWERS WHAT"S THE SECRET PLUGIN. I was really sure that last Neural DSP release would be John Browne's archetype and was very hyped about it. But I will take any company, I'm sure it will sound great (let's just hope it's not JST). Mixwave seems probable, but Browne is more than worthy of a dedicated Archetype from NDSP alongside such legends as Petrucci, Abasi, Plini and Nolly

Uh-oh, Browne is in standard tuning! Everybody take cover! :D

Can someone please give us all a John Browne plug in 🙏 that would be the best plugin ever. A plug in where you can blend two amps togeather , everything John Browne designed and certified.

secret plugin aye?

Orright, there needs to be a Browne side project thrashing in E tuning.

I would like to have one with a fixed bridge

john, did you remove riffhard videos with those beautiful guitars, playing cimmerian and opiate? Thank you

It's all trainable. Check his Downpicking Gym on Riffhard. The point is - you need to start exercise slow with metronome and increase bpm till you almost uncomfortable. +5-10bpm in a week will be a good result. And please don't exercise if it hurts, take your time.

Practice. It's not easy for anyone to down pick fast. I'd also challenge you to seriously listen to guys like Hetfield and (insert favorite guitarist) and see if you can tell a noticeable difference. You really can't Adding compression in your chain will improve tightness in the sound making alternate sound as good as all downs. Why make it hard?

Stygian Blue?

Yeh it wasn’t quite close enough to my face for this one - apologised at the top of the description haha

the guitar sounds too fizzy and toppy for me, perhaps its the choice of duncan pickups. i don't think they're tight enough for modern styles too, there's a lot of vintage flavour in there. more van halen than monuments imo. usually i'm fairly neutral as most guitars sound decent in demos, but i simply don't like this guitar's sound character for some reason
