Tap Dance

[BearKeys]

Worth every view it has :)

[emoboi951]

talking about pro skillz? :L awsome.. keep up the good work :)

[VGSTN]

Hey Bob! I'm a friend of Davis, I wanna meet you someday lol. I live pretty close to greenwood, so maybe one of these days. This is crazy!! Very hard... lol, do you know Lyman Golden?

[weaseltrap]

Hey thanks! Bear and I will be playing at O.N.E. in a couple of weeks. Maybe I'll see you there. I'll plan on performing this one for sure.

[BonoLuigi]

PURE AWESOMNESS

[dmengeler]

I truly feel honored to know you, Bob.

Don't really understand how every single one of your videos isn't breaking 1 million views.

[weaseltrap]

This one might someday.

[dazzitboy]

reminds me of some celtic, river dancing tune or some irish dancing tune

[CesarFornesBerlanga]

Veri nice music *****

[Dreaded88]

I would love to see him play all of Bron Aur Yur Stomp by himself with this same style!

Or Baba O' Rally

[dmengeler]

I think it's funny, yet sad, to read the comments of ignorant people saying this is fake or easy. Bob has an amazing talent and is a great guy. I've met him a few times. (If you read this, Bob, I'm Davis. I've met you through Ian a few times) I love this so much.

Anyway, can't wait to see you play again!

Bye,

Davis.

[weaseltrap]

DADGDE. There's a tab available on my myspace page if you want to try it.

[eriksandin]

Why of course! now that i know that you're actually reading this i must say the music is beatiful! what's your URL?

[weaseltrap]

Thanks! myspace . com / bobkilgore

[volcom613]

your talent is unremarkable.i wish i could play the guitar like that.if i could i would carry around an acoustic guitar everywere i go and just whip it out in random places and just start playing haha.

[alpha4189]

I think you meant to say "remarkable" instead of unremarkable, and I agree.

[sHiMmYTheNomad]

awesome work :)

[Jorge857]

amazing, you are great! 5 stars!

[FenrikHolten]

that's not good.

[esposoman]

play it if you can...

[jamfen]

5* my friend that was excellent

[TerryC65]

OMG!!!!  As good as Michael Hedges!!RIP Bravo my friend.

[Duncan21carroll]

its sad to me that musicians like yourself are unnoticed and under appreciated these days.

you've got serious skills.

[cargarcas]

ok. you can tap, anything else?

A full song tapping is boring dude.

[smitman556678]

let's see you make a video this complex

[MaceAce64]

Hey, have you tried using the harmonic capo on this song before?

[weaseltrap]

I don't think it would work on this tune, but I've done similar things with the capo. Check out "Lover's Lane" for example.

[melvinliles]

that was fu932842n NEAT

[phloprox]

Why does your guitar have three dots on the 12th fret and three on the 17th?

[weaseltrap]

No idea. You'd have to ask Ovation, but I'd guess they were just trying to be artistic.

[phloprox]

lol ok

[cornflaked]

Do you prefer Ovation, or do you use a variety of guitars?

[weaseltrap]

I prefer the Ovation for some tunes, but I also play a Martin. Each has its own character.

[kiren77]

a good guitarist is not pretentious

[phloprox]

kiren just made eaataaafjbob eat his own socks ^^

[proobu]

I can *highly* recommend his CD's: weaseltrap dot com/Music dot html

All the songs I've heard I let repeat many times because they are so lovely and interesing, I just let them run and wish they were audible in every room. This man is fantastic as player and composer, MUCH THANKS to Bob Kilgore!

[and all I had been looking for was another tap dance video!]

[Zeppelin211]

Agreed

[coexist08]

OMFG !!! thats sooo tight !! i am usually a death metal fan but props to you !!! you are an insane guitarist !!!

[youdubt]

bravissimo

[freesafety25]

That was absolutely amazing.

[bce5150]

Bravo!!

[tuggmcgroin]

You are a god, Bob. I listen to your music every day in my car...You should make another CD...Any plans for a new one?

[weaseltrap]

I hope to start recording a new CD soon, but it may be a while before it's finished. I'll have some new videos long before the next CD comes out. Thanks for asking!

[Flatlegs]

Very Nice!!

[ateyeh]

Just great tapping D=! 5/5

[capo420420]

hey bob .. just stopping by to say hello ..

hope you and yours are well and having happy holidays

your friend jeff

PS FOR MORE GREAT GUITAR TAPPING VIDS see MY CHANNEL

Jeff Williams / guitarist

[chipdevourer]

at a certain point, it doesnt even sound musical anymore.

[41music]

You sir, do definitely not need a guitar lesson. For those that do, I have one avail., check it out on my channel. 5/5 for your vid here man, cheers!

[moonunitenar]

insane song! that's some serious skill! by the way, what did you mean by a "harmonic capo"?

[weaseltrap]

The Harmonic Capo is an invention of mine. It's looks like a capo, but it's very different. It plays harmonics! You can read all about it on my myspace page. I'm planning to start selling them very soon, so stay tuned...

[moonunitenar]

sounds interesting. I'll have to read about it!

[mauranius]

OMG! You have some fantastci fingering over there...!!!!

A few questions: how long did it take to learn this? And where can I learn it :P ( I can only play basic chords -.-' )

Further more: I love this song :) it keeps running through my head even when i am typing now

[weaseltrap]

Thanks! You can download a copy of the tab for this at my myspace page. If you've never tapped before, this'll take a long time to master. I've been thinking about making a tutorial to teach this tune. If I do, I'll post again here. -Bob

[kingkeerthi]

superb

[danaeluna6]

exelente

[Tilll420]

simply brilliant

[blockaholic]

brilliant!

[involvement]

Holy crap, that's freakin' nuts...5/5 dude, nice job

[defacate]

that was amazing. i loved it! keep up the amazing music.

[rdalemc]

Freakin' fantastic!

...makes me want to just pick my jaw up off the floor, put my guitar down and walk away...

YOU NEED to get a Chapman Electric Stick if you continue to play this style...GO FOR IT!

[mozillagurl101]

thats not tap dance!! tap dance is where you tap on the ground with your feet! this is guitar plucking

[YouFreddyTube]

you're an idiot

its the name of the song

[bunnichello]

It sounds Celtic at the beginning then metamorphoses into something else, I don't think there's a word for it. I think it's amazingly good to listen to. It's like being led somewhere on a journey.

[alexmarsh9]

hey brilliant man absolutly fantasic loved every bit!! takes talent. :)

[korbannc]

Beautiful playing by the way, I definitely hear what you meant by Celtic, kinda celebratory.

[korbannc]

Again, Ash, you're a tool. Now stop posting on the videos I watch, dammit, I'd hate to think we have the same taste in music. Hehe

[Alejiux90]

Hey man, you´re amazing!!

[skautkacenka]

Čipe, co takhle zkusit stránky mé oblíbené folkové skupiny? Fórum... k.

[drumsaboutdrums]

Holy crap!!! My jaw just fell through the ceiling. Amazin stuff man.

[elbiologo1986]

wow maestro

[gfoosball]

wow...nice

[lightningdan]

That sounded great man!

[hegy98]

so did you give god a discount when you taught him how to play guitar?

[yellow4521]

watch clem astaire WOW!!!!

[kikkirow]

i like the electric tapping..

[ahhbtm]

i dunno..in my opinion, it was mediocre. it didn't really have any groove or a beat to it, it was just kinda like a wall of noise. don't get me wrong, u are an amazing guitar player, i just don't think that his song really showcases ur full potential

[cornflaked]

everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but there was a consistent beat to the song.

[jwhite2279]

Looks hard to play, sounds pretty good too.

[GuitarOverLord]

awesome

[brockulese]

Ha this looks like a home video. With one kick-A dad. haha.

[gpec1955]

Very cool. BTW what guitar was that? SOunds great!

[weaseltrap]

I think the guitar in the video is an Ovation Electric Legend. I don't have that one anymore.

[travacom]

WOW

[dansnordisk]

Wauw. Like it very much.

[leswillys]

B.E.A. utiful

[lutfialtinel]

Wonderful play! Ofra Haza is Angel!

[britishgreenworm]

superglue on your fingers helps.

[GCVTS]

hey, never thought of that!

[bortwitdabort]

Thats Awesome! Very trancing! Can tell your a guy who loves his instrument that technique must of took years to develop

[faissalinho]

awesome just awesome!!

[airoscar]

this is the kind of men that talks talks and talks and talks and doesnt stop at all

and he talks talks talks talks talks

but anyway, is this an Irish song?

he pasues take another breathe,

and he talks talks talks...

and...

[itaishch]

maybe its cool playing, but have to say this music is annoying...

[kyuteh]

its beautiful what are you talking about!?

[ShredWorldPromoter]

Hey Great Video, luv' the sound

check This really good video. I m receiving curses from jealous guitarists because of that vid.

TAGS: while Joe moore weeps Jad 's guitar

and plz this is not a spam it s promoting my channel (youtube's goal)

Peace to all guitarists .

[MeinenMusik]

you know you have a popular video when there are people arguing over pointless topics like "whose a better musician" and blatant insults (lol)

fantastic music man, i downloaded your cds and i love them

keep doin what your doing, cool guy :)

--a fan

[ic300x]

this is pretty awsome

but for those who dont play guitar

stfu

[Premier141]

No... only lead guitar professionally for 4 years.

[emandude]

Amazing. I must download your stuff

[lydianModeX]

Great Video!

check out this crazy Video

Tags: Jad guitar gently Weeps

[KingImpaler]

Wake me when its over and I shall remove the shamrocks from my eyes

[Jagdfaust]

watching ur video i finally understood how to do that stuff lol ty

[superman5or6]

is that an ovation???

[extropian]

This is a song written by a guitarist for guitarists. Sure everyone can enjoy it, but its like watching Spinal Tap, if you haven't been in a band, its just not funny.

[KingImpaler]

Why are so many people playing their guitars like pianos nowdays? Fuck This Shit, LETS ROCK!

[xFTWx]

tapping was often used in rock so shut up dumbass

[KingImpaler]

Blow ME Man Cunt

[l3l4ck0utN3gritoNYC]

lets see some metal guitarist who mindlessly "shreds" on his guitar do this.

[satriani805]

most all shredders could tap better.

[bngham]

awsome

[delpuckett]

i will be honest and say two things and make a suggestion. !. you ARE good...there is no question about that...kudos. 2. the arrangment was somewhat mundane...meaning it offered no "contrast"...no ebb and flow. it kinda all sounded overall the same. my suggestion for what it's worth....is to mix it up a bit. balance this type of playing with a melodic part to create like a "bridge/chorus" effect. let the music "breath" - give the listener a different sonic view

[ErzincanliMusic]

very nice, this playing remembered me to the tecnic of the selpe on the baglama (turkish guitar)

[drakefan101]

amazing sounds Irish to me lol

[DanAndDave]

got the tab for this from your myspace. excellent job, and again it sounds way more difficult than it is. a lot of fun to play. thanks

[scottshields]

That shits crunk. FoShizzle.

[rlcuda]

Maybe. Can't be sure.

[weaseltrap]

Hi, ricuda. It's just one guitar. It looks odd partly because the video sync isn't perfect, but mostly because neither hand is playing the "melody".  It started off as an experiment in counterpoint. The melody emerges from the interplay between the right and left hand parts. It's disorienting to watch, but that was kindof the whole point. Check out the tab on my website. I promise all the notes are accounted for.

[rlcuda]

I don't know if I believe it. I've played the guitar for 22 years and you get an intuitive sense of what correlates between the hand movements on a guitar and the sounds that are produced. There are notes in there that are not accounted for. I hear a bass line that he is playing, and I hear the counstant din of the left hand pull-offs, but there is another guitar that we don't see.

[Janimany]

22 years of playing and you can't do this..maybe you are just frustrated that there are so many better people than you are :D

[eyespick123]

imnot impress

[kdemarsh]

very cool, celtic. I had a problem with my ovation getting away from me, I two-way taped some rubber shelf liner to the bottom of guitar: works great

[tomcatmetal]

cool keep on rocking

pwace love and jello

TomCat

[skitzofreddy]

HEY POGOKOALA How bout NO? Its fucking great the way it IS!

[Pogokoala]

This is great but Hear me out Please. I think you should have a group to play the background of the Irish Theme while you do the Tap Dancing finger trick on the Fret neck :D it would sound sooooooo bad ass!

[0666503]

That is good congratulation

[thomsen1559]

haha kinky :D nice work :)

[Auggiedog2125]

wow, no difficulty at all

[tangnatalaga]

Amazing, you will wow a fellow musician like me. To none musician, its rubish, needless to say, the world needs more of these instead of the garbage they play on the radio.

[zakamaroo]

dude is sick, and your mom cant strum i bet he has mad rythm and i guarnetee you cannot play that. But dude your sick listen to much John butler?

[Koman17]

That sounds very similar to Erik Mongrain's stuff

[thefrancines]

hes ok he probably doesn't no how to strum plus i think its open tunning which makes ten times less inpressive

[maximus50238]

i wish i was that good

[Rambo534]

Awesome. U wrote That Urself?

[weaseltrap]

Well, I think so. To me, it sounds so much like a "traditional" Irish jig, I'd be surprised if NONE of the melody had ever been used before. But this arrangement (and definitely this way of playing it) is entirely my own.

[Warhear87]

a lot of Irish jigs sound very similar and can only be differentiated between by listening to all of them over and over consecutively... you very well may have your own song here and the only difference would be key or progression... either way very impressive... much respect

[Emaniac69]

the tab for this song would probably look insane. By the way, does anyone have the tab for this song???

[weaseltrap]

The tab is available on my myspace page.

[Emaniac69]

yeah

[djdoughy]

how many chicks do you get with this? this would be impressive at a bar man... good work, keep on

[knopfslash]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RemyOllier]

[jimmyjimbo01]

ummm... i have NEVER seen any1 play like that. are yu just oing slurs all the time or something..? ita amazing lol

[ferretyluv]

NEVER??? You need to see Erik Mongrain or Kaki King then. They play the same way. It's called tapping. This guy is really awesome. He must like Michael Hedges.

[SkunkyBeaumont]

Check out Justin King, Kaki Kali, and Erik Mongrain.

[Cahlimfurtz]

WOW I want to play guitar like him

[SiRtified]

That is super cool, nice work!

[guiltyspark5]

LOLWTFBBQ

[necroangelSC]
