@gmdinformation As several dozen people have commented

[fireicer]

i am surprised your cam audio is so low Aussie your usually very good with your vid work.

[AngryAussie]

@fireicer This is 4 years old and done with a pocket camera

[fireicer]

@AngryAussie That would certainly answer the question then lol Rocking videos great channel all in all Aussie

[fireicer]

been watching this guy for past few years and wow what a musician this just goes to prove how amazing youtube can be allowing artists as good as this to become exposed to the world. brilliant.

[maybrook1]

bring this man to the states.

[AngryAussie]

@maybrook1 He's pretty damn good

[BluflameX2]

wheres the one where he has another person playing the japanese instrument? D: i saw them the other day they were mindblowing.

[AngryAussie]

@BluflameX2 I like how he's still around

[ThaldorReborn]

Love his little version of Waltzing Matilda at 2:33 onwards. By the way, have you managed to spot the busker who plays the four instruments at once? there might be a few but this particular guy does it /well/. He has a kick drum, high-hat, guitar and a harmonica. Anyway thanks for putting this up.

[AngryAussie]

No, I don't know the busker you mean

[vickiormindyb]

So there really IS a Myer. Some guy I used to work with was always telling people they have more front than Myer. He used to live in Australia. I have no idea why he came here.

I still don't know what "more front than Myer" means.

[AngryAussie]

The Myer store has an extremely large shop front - almost an entire city block

[dthestryker13]

This is just awesome.

Plain and simple...

[AngryAussie]

He's very popular

[Betwhandh]

[AngryAussie]

[1994cg]

[ComedyMafia]

Just go up to him and give him your email address and he sends out emails every week on where he will be playing. I get one every week even though Im back in England now. But he sent me an email about a gig at the rainbow hotel on his birthday (which is just off brunswick street in fitzroy) and he had all his mates playing with him. Hands down best gig ive ever been too, they are all as talented as him, just different instruments! Was amazing! Got his CD too! I Love George, plus he's hilarious!

[AngryAussie]

I'm gonna hafta follow up with him.

[livv3hlove]

Oh he is my favourite busker in the whole of Melbourne!

I have heard him sing this song far too many times :P

[AngryAussie]

[AngryAussie]

[ryuzaki727]

[ScarlettKitsune]

It doesn't get much more diverse. He's awesome, and it takes a lot of talent to play guitar well that way. ^^

[AngryAussie]

[one2one2v2]

George Kamikawa is win.

[AngryAussie]

George rocks!

[danbdow]

Melbourne looks like a nice place to visit or live in. I would take a holiday to Melbourne or other places in Australia but I get bored easily and a long flight would drive me crazy. Flights are going to become even worse with all these new rules and regulations. I always look forward to your next video AngryAussie and so far you have not let me down with a rubbish video.

[AngryAussie]

Thanks Dan: Yeah, the flight from the northern hemishpere is damn long. If you're able to take along holiday it's worth it. No end of things to see and do here.

[MokongX3M]

that's deadly, i love seeing a guitar played like that, it always sounds so awesome, and looks cool

[AngryAussie]

The man loves his guitar doesn't he? Did you notice in the "more videos" to the right there are more videos of him on YT?

[elvisotoole]

that's the bloke I saw the other week. has he got anyone killed on the tram tracks yet?

[AngryAussie]

He actually had a big crowd for a busker and the tram tracks are right there... it's only a matter of time.
