Jimmy Wahlsteen - Shifts of Attention - www.candyrat.com

[emerica4u]

FUCK! this is beautiful

[tummyikke]

those gloves are just to keep all his amazing technic a secret;)

[SweSk8ter]

Any1 else think this sounds like the Sims 2 music? At the beginning :D

[MrUbercool007]

i want those gloves badly! xD

[JAKE887]

idk what to pay attention to, his guitar playing, or those cyndy lauper gloves he's wearing

[annikaze]

Awesome guitar playing :D!

[fullproofguitar]

oh... he's not gay?...damn

[maxwalker222]

Go troll some other artist like Ke$ha; this guy is brilliant with a guitar. Nothing more to be said. 

[valeriofunkyboy]

you have a positivity magic sound in your touch of guitar...really congratulation

[ezequielstring]

homo

[TheClumsyFilms]

@ezequielstring your homo :D

[ezequielstring]

@TheClumsyFilms ur homo

[SaitenWolf]

Reading the comments here, I assume, video kills musical attention. Close you eyes and enjoy this perfect tune - and forget about your preconceptions how behaviour should look like.

[JacoTheSkunk]

Ok, he may not be gay, but Chapelle put it best: "JUST because I'm dressed this way does NOT make me a whote" ... "Fine, you are not a whore... But you ARE wearing a whore's uniform!"

[L4Z3R37H]

meh. a cross between david bowie, and eddie izzard.



[L4Z3R37H]

looks a bit like david bowie.

[bigray601]

this guy is great, he just looks like a giant tool.

[atros41]

Nádhera

[owlet1963]

speechless.... and trust me, THAT doesn't happen very often! that is great talent and awesome mucial skills right there!

[toodance]

I've watched this several times and just noticed the chain necklace..Is the dog tag tapping the back of his guitar or is he using his ring? I can't tell.....

[Stratman2929]

@toodance It's the ring. Watch the tune "it's your favorite", he uses it a lot .

[Teapartyla]

Very talented. Wish I had your left hand

[DPAnderson2010]

@Teapartyla Ah, but his right hand is where the magic lies. That's why they call it fingerstyle.

[DPAnderson2010]

@DPAnderson2010 He's actually hybrid picking though. Woops.

[Teapartyla]

@DPAnderson2010 Ok, I'll take his right hand too :)

[ywed14]

Something tells me this guy spends a lot of time looking at himself

[klebror]

I want those gloves

[DetroitDieselBob]

100% WIN of MUSICAL FLUX

[iverson1834]

Hes like the micheal jackson of fingerstyle guitar

[aceca]

Im from sweden and ive never heard of his name.. sadly hes not that recognized in sweden afaik. True talent isnt worth much these days..

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@aceca but he's legendary in Halifax ;)

[aceca]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good I bet sad hes not getting any credit in his ''homeland'' ;p

[jbswcacmbc]

that key change at 2:10 is so perfect!

[krahslucas]

this song just gave me goosebumps..

[jdejesus6]

epic arm warmers.

[kennybosefus]

i swear i was heterosexual before i watched this video.... oop, hes got a wedding ring on.. holy crap.. i was gay for like, 30 seconds..

[Nicechickencat]

He's so great



[carswell98]

the lick at 0:36 is fecking amazing.

[Stefanie822002]

awesmoe, he is just awesome, well, seems i have to practice a lot more to get there ^^

[bobsneyd]

Fantastic ! Wish I knew what tuning that was in...

[wkassis1990]

Clearly there's 100 expert guitar playing midgets hiding in those gloves...one human being is not capable of playing this.

[share512]

@TheSwdishAtheist i dont care how gay he look or "we" think he is .. he plays great music andthats all that matters .. Love him .. and Love you .. no trolololol

[clearasil11]

[fossegrim91]

compared to other candyrat musicians, his playing is kinda lame.. yeah i know shame on me ^^

[CherubiamCloud]

@fossegrim91 His style is unique, each different candyrat musician has their own skills, Jimmy makes wonderful melodies although technically it's not that challenging.

[TheCarlevaris]

gREAT SONG!! GO ON JIMMY!

[trense13]

31 people should shift their attention from justin beiber!

[berabagaranr]

great one

[SteveCotroneoComedy]

Every time I click on a candyrat guy I haven't heard before it's like "welp there goes another two hours..."

[BigCanOfBeans]

@SteveCotroneoComedy two hours you'd wanna repeat! YEAH.

[Juanucho13b]

@SteveCotroneoComedy Damn man. Same here.

[DancingRockInc]

@SteveCotroneoComedy I KNOW YOUR PAIN!

[SONGSTICKS]

@SteveCotroneoComedy

Good aint he !!

It never ceases to amaze me just how much talent there is on youtube.

People joke about all the aweful stuff on here, but in the music section, there's some amazing stuff to watch !!

[TheBlinky1984]

@SteveCotroneoComedy lol i know the feeling

[CelestialLarrivee]

31 dislikes? wow.....go listen to p diddy some more guys......

this is amazing stuff.

[hugenoodles]

damn this guy is a beast!

[ox0Jason0xo]

i just learn to play this and its fucking badass its really fun to play, anyone who wants something fun to learn i highly reccomend it its sweet! its not that hard to play either about a 6/10 if you can play other finger style its simple

[kchwiesiuk24]

@ox0Jason0xo howd u find sheet for it. did u figure it out?

[guitarplayer354]

You kick ass Jimmy! haha

[condicks]

man i can never tell if its a girl or not. dont take me wrong im not trying to dis on him

but i can never tell. he is pretty good tho

[JiMaNeYbOb]

@condicks he looks nothing like a girl, wtf's wrong with you!

what women have u seen with arms like that?!

[sheeplikelions]

@condicks he does look like eddie izzard, but hes one hell of a guitarist

[finaldreamerx]

OMG SOOOO NICE!!! O_O

btw I like his gloves xD where can I get them!!!! xD

[tscholent]

I would not care if he was from mars and and had two heads...what you should be "seeing" is the music...

[ManOnEarth17]

i need style like this..

[thenetslug]

Did this guy get lost in the 80s?

[TheSaliMusic]

=O Wooow.... I like it. =D

[thefenderstrat666]

j'adore ! =) s'il fallait 1 exemple pour définir de la belle musique sa serait cette vidéo ! bravo ! =)

[ohioguitarguy27]

i have been waiting for a great peice like this to come out. music like this inspires me to keep playing everyday. keep up with the great music and thank you

[rubythrashmetal]

Wow. Just found this guy. Amazing music! Can't wait to listen to more!

[LesPaulRockerProduct]

Dear youtube...I want a button that automatically replays this song...I would call it the jimmy button...yes I can see it know.

[2bsbc]

Who cares if he's gay, people. It's music. What the fuck does gay have to do with it? And how would that matter? Shut up and listen, then go out and try and create something, besides worthless youtube comments. Contribute something to the human condition. Something artistic and worth while. Like Jimmy here.

Damn.

[DEQR]

@2bsbc He's not gay....he has a wife...a female one...fuck you people are dumb

[ywed14]

@DEQR Ya i doubt he's gay, but just because someone is married to the opposite sex doesn't rule out the possibility of them being gay.

[brando18guitarplyr]

@DEQR He's probably not gay, but that has to be one of the most retarded comments I've ever seen, like you can't be gay if you have a wife... A LOT of gay people find out after they had a wive or a girlfriend or even after they had kids...

[AmilGaoul27]

@brando18guitarplyr But someone isn't gay until he finds out right? and wouldn't we call him bisexual? instead of gay.

[brando18guitarplyr]

@AmilGaoul27We would call him straight, when someones straight and wants to kiss boys or more we would call him bicurious, if he/she dates people from their own sex they are gay or bisexual.

[Lalaldd]

Jimmy Wahlsteen is my inspiration, I just put up me playing some of my own songs. If you want to check it out. Otherwise enjoy this masterpiece O.o

[Alkyps]

it's not gay....it's just a new fashioon about you rednecks don't know nothin' :))))))))))

[DomTheRocker1]

Just downloaded the guitar tab instructions for this song, and 'Its your Favourite' (also by jimmy) got to say, brilliant idea. $9.95 from the candyrat website.

[LesPaulRockerProduct]

@DomTheRocker1 What tuning is "Its your favourite" in? I would really like to know.

[ksaajasto]

@LesPaulRockerProduct just learned that song... hope to get a cover of it up soon. The tuning is C#,A,C#,A,B,C#.

[ciaputa]

@LesPaulRockerProduct AACGAE



[LesPaulRockerProduct]

@DomTheRocker1 also whats this song tuned to..its slowly sneaking into my favourites (sorry I must be annoying!)

[DomTheRocker1]

@LesPaulRockerProduct

Shifts of attention is tuned as follows: D,A,D,F#,A,D

[LesPaulRockerProduct]

@DomTheRocker1 Is it like an open tuning?

[neveruse513]

Jimmy, you rock, but take those fucking socks off your hands.

[Luckie7falcon77]

@neveruse513 I totally agree with you on that hahha... i think they provide a soft knock on the wood ... buty still it looks hecka ugly :)

[ikeman1156]

This song is really a "shift of attention" I almost fell asleep because this changed my mind so much it malfunctioned and I almost feel asleep and why it took me 5mins to type this thing up

[steveshirtda]

DADF#AD everyone

[SunshineMurders]

@snookylover

I think he's tuned C# A C# A B C# with the capo on the 4th fret.

I play a lot of things in DADF#AD and I went to this tuning.....

....it's so weird to me.

[samsonofdelos]

my attention shifted to this awesome song

[TheAxis456]

he looks like buffalo bill in silence of the lambs..."would you fuck me?..i'd fuck me so hard"

[MercyMe333]

man eddie izzard is such a great musician!

[cyanoticxtc]

@MercyMe333 Laughed so damn hard at this

[moonshack965]

is that a Larriveè P09?? does anyone know?

tnx

[Caviern]

What name of guitar??

[lewisliui]

@Caviern God's one.

[Bigpineapple]

@Caviern It's a Larrivee L-09.

[snookylover]

@Bigpineapple

Is he playing in an altered guitar tuning? DADGAD Maybe?

[zoomwaffle579]

this makes me want to burn my guitar

[levinaslevinas]

@zoomwaffle579 I know the feeling.... :) but don't!

[controlisd34d]

Where can I find this guy, I want to marry him and make sweet music.

[incipio241]

@controlisd34d look carefully at his ring finger... sorry to break the bubble :P

[BubblegunNoGum]

This sound brings such harmony and warmth into my body. The sound is so pure it fills me with happiness everyday.

[OP2rubiks]

amazing wrist band

without it his hand falls of

[rettif9]

Who cares about hits? If you like the music support the artist. Buy the music.

[kimulo]

je l'écoute en boucle : j'adore

[ChrisWooleyAC]

Take that obama. 

[isawg307live]

he might look a little gay, maybe cause hes french right? Idk, but i like the song. haha keep it up!

[Ramon1233]

@isawg307live Hell no! First of all he's Swedish. Second, he has a beautiful wife and daughter so I just see it as a cool and unique style of clothing. Third, nice BURN on the french community there! And last, yeah the song is totally awesome! :)

[DwNecrid]

@Ramon1233 awh... im a bit french :'( oh the other hand... i do hate the french myself... quebeciua even more so

[isawg307live]

@Ramon1233 haha my bad then. No offence to anyone of course. just to make amends, the French ROCK! You gave us French Toast Sticks and an awesome tower, so thanks guys! :D lol

[jeagerpoelse]

@isawg307live dude he was born in sweden

[dagoelius]

noticed a wrist brace hope Jimmy hasnt got RSI. JImmy your're awesome!!!

[trense13]

which guitar is that???? he sure loves it...:)

[CanadaGuy80]

@trense13 Larrivee L-05. It’s a very affordable Canadian made guitar.

[m4rkyboy]

Buffalo Bill plays a mean guitar

[gethospitalized13]

not fair.

[HerbalNinja024]

Thank you for composing such a beautiful song. You just went on my list of names to remember and will definetly buy this album (^_^)

[KLOEBGUITAR]

is he gay?

[TheDukeWontFreeMoses]

@KLOEBGUITAR who cares?

and no he's not.

[KLOEBGUITAR]

@TheDukeWontFreeMoses I was jw. Talent is talent. gender preferance has nothing to do with it. I was simply pondering on the idea ha

[RushRedRain]

Beautiful

[Iamasin1412]

love it

[TheSwdishAtheist]

For everyone that thinks hes gay should see his wife! She is one of the most beautiful woman in Sweden

[1990haggis]

@TheSwdishAtheist

Googled her straight away ha! She is extremely fit!

[Stegi1point1]

@TheSwdishAtheist and for everyone who thinks that beeing gay is something bad ... go die .... now

[DJSNuva1]

@TheSwdishAtheist And I don't give a shit

[gdmansfield9211]

@TheSwdishAtheist I agree; she is beautiful. But I still think he's gay.

[GRAFq]

@gdmansfield9211

From what I remember an article in a guitar mag said that he lives in Stockholm with his wife and his child, so I doubt it.

[FakeSidewalks]

@TheSwdishAtheist DAMN IT.

[byange821]

@TheSwdishAtheist wow!!!his wife sure is beautiful...

[tigreslokos]

@TheSwdishAtheist You weren't lying lol.. And thumbs up to YOU for being an atheist, that makes two of us! cheers!

[AlteredVisionz]

@TheSwdishAtheist haha swedish dudes are fucking awesome i had this one exchange student at my school that im good friends with now and everyone calls him "brohan" instead of yohan hahaha. i must say this guy does look a bit....different lol

[cocozaococozao123]

@TheSwdishAtheist Man, i was thinking: he does look gay but, i've never seen an homosexual artist so talented, so, he can't be gay. Thanks for making that clear.

[Steefnek]

@TheSwdishAtheist

Even if he was gay, which I seriously wouldn't care about if it wasn't more discussed than his music, I don't see what is wrong with it. <3 C:

[teamhren1000]

Whoever says Taylor Swifts music is on par with this is missing some brain matter. Listen to the quality of composition and originality of the piece. Like most modern stars, Swift borrows overused chord progression and lyrical cliches.

[Izaiah37]

@teamhren1000 u missed his point

[kimblemooney]

absolutly love the song but ...Im pretty sure the Low E is not in tune and it kills me!!!

[sylverhawk017]

I saw this guy last night without realizing that it was him and I was quite sad that he didn't use his magical hand sock :( haha but he was still amazing!

[McBoothie94]

@sylverhawk017 stole my words hand sock(s) is my term fool :P

[DEQR]

I'm seeing Don Ross with Jimmy tonight in Victoria BC!

[sundogkid]

@rpoland and Grande Prairie, AB! We are definitely looking forward to it!

[bennny1988]

this is personally my favourite of his =)

[JEA21B]

Lol... I love his guitar playing but I hate the fact he -looks-... gay... (didn't imply he is necessarily) shame.

[Transporter1022]

God he looks like a flaming faggot, but man he can play guitar!

[side1985]

guess i just found my new acoustic guitar hero!

[kdbargerstock]

look at the finish of the guitar.... its all beat up.... i highly doubt he is wearing the sleeve to protect it anymore.... im sure its just because its a heck of a lot more comfortable.... also why would he be wearing one of both wrists if its for the finish.... hmm... he wouldnt me.... i think they sweet though... hes a just a bit creepy looking.... though if you can play like that who cares what you look like..

[1996tre]

sum ppl r truly gifted

[Progressionification]

Or oh my god... Who knows you idiots.. maybe his wrist were cold -.-...

[usernameL1]

Don't get me wrong, it sounds awesome and it's totally impossible for me to play, but this sounds like some kind of Roller Coaster Tycoon of Sims 3 song :P

[Maxables]

@usernameL1 Unless you play guitar yourself, it's hard to appreciate the skill required to compose and perform a piece like this

[usernameL1]

@Maxables I DO play guitar myself. Where in my comment did I say I dont appreciate this kind of music? You're jumping to some weird conclusions..

[Maxables]

@usernameL1 I assumed you thought it was simple, because you compared it to RCT music

[Wyclefdoug]

@Maxables No, it's not. I can't play a single thing on a guitar and I can tell just how much talent is behind what he does.

[AndyMcKeeFanForLife]

@Maxables I think it should be obvious to even people who don't play how much creativity and skill it takes to write and perform a piece like this.

[fyzikfyzik]

@Maxables Oh, I disagree - the right music is for everybody no matter what skills he has. I play guitar because i liked rpoland's videos here on youtube :)

[deathbforgot]

@Maxables especially while moving like he is lol

[sheila28ful]

looks great and sounds great!! my fav bits are @ 2.10 and @2.49.........genius!

[downfallin]

i like how he uses a regular pick with finger picking instead of a thumb pick.. i like to do that too although nowhere near this guy.

[jillh10]

that bloke is awesome

[ChasHolling]

I think what he's wearing is cool...

[Melonijoni]

überhaupt sich so etwas auszudenken ist unglaublich

*_ *

[Melonijoni]

überhaupt sich so etwas auszudenken ist unglaublich *_______*

[osten324]

love the little part from 2.48 to 3.05!

[Denson84]

Holy Crap! I thought that Andy Mckee was good. I play the guitar and I was trying to be as good as him, but now it just seems pointless after seeing this guy.

[ilikeurmother4]

@Denson84 but this guy doesnt have only one guitar and only a guitar..

[Cambionx]

What is that guitar, does anyone know?

[Henders100]

@Cambionx Not sure of the model, but it looks like a Larriveé

[Cambionx]

@Henders100 I see, Cheers!
