[sk8erboy918273645]

Did any one else see the Asian kid looking under the table like this shit has to be fake

[mscherryava]

Awesome *0*

[NagaNora1997]

Whats the song calledwhen hes playing on the glass

[Johnnywasherefirst]

Amazing!!! :) I should try this

[DonkeyPunchMojo]

Alexandria, VA looks very ethnically diverse.

[Marcotsu]

RUB THE BIG GLASS!



[MrRubik1234]

i can barely play one !!!!

[darthjoey13]

You should play some newer Romantic-type stuff instead of this Renaissance era music. Very nice playing though.

[acalltoallarms]

Amazing!!

[GellyRolll]

how does he know how much water to put in it?

[Avatar230594]

TEACH ME!

[qiaomatthew]

I get the feeling this guy makes big bucks working another job that he hates. It's good to see he still does what he enjoys most.

[mickjagger1991]

I just wanted him to play the big one the whole time.. >:(

[RoboticusMusic]

just waiting for him to fuck up and elbow a domino effects of broken glass and broken dreams.

[gergenfonchen]

I'd probably rage quit so hard when it came time to 'tune'

[Nogli]

That must be a nightmare to set up. Just the right amount of water in each of them...

[superbadbrad]

Can't you see he's the man, let me hear you applaud

he is more than a man he's a shiny golden God.

[TheRobCow]

Wow that's really amazing, a zombie playing Bach.

[rambopussycat]

Haha this is pretty good, and its Jethro Tull, song is Bouree.

[wibawa040]

This is actually the lyrics to this song:

I saw in his face

boy with purple clothes seemed thirsty

because all the glass and water have been brought home

by a man with a light blue shirt

so the boy dressed in purple delighted applause when the song ends

so that he could drink

lets sing together xD

[SymphonyATM]

kawaii =) 

[Xchloe1000X]

@SymphonyATM "kawaii" Seriously? SERIOUSLY?

This is not a Place for you to be a Weeabo, If you're Going to use Japanese, Atleast type "かわいい"

Wait, No, That's still Weeabo, Don't bring that anime shit to random videos, It gives the Anime Fanbase a Bad name.

[zillinalovedance]

love it1

[Twixgtx]

Can't you see he's the man, let me hear you applaud! He is more than a man, he's a shining golden god!!

[scorpioeagle56]

haha, this guy was soo good that at 1:33 the kid behind him was looking under the table to see if it was a scam....

[allnickstaken]

the bird is a word

[kendigjl]

FREEBIRD!!

[TokkiDiary]

holy crap. imagine how much water he had to drink to match the sound

[irgifted]

wow that was pretty cool but it would be even better if he worked out the counterpart bass line too

[Selinayumi986]

I tried doing it on a wine glass I had but it doesn't work :O

[adasdadinator]

@Selinayumi986 it has to be decent qualty crystal to resonate, and remeber to wet your finger.

[blaylockboys]

when i hear this the first thing i thought was.. how is that even possible?

[bityew]

P.S. This musician is Jamie Turner.

[daven58100]

Jethro Tull made that tune. Hilarious. I remember watching stuff like that on Ed Sullivan but didn't know they were called glass harps. I guess that's where Phil Keaggy got the name for his band?

[ParknightCM]

he doesn't look real. either hes a robot, or hes dead

[smokesometea]

Look at the big glass on the right side of the screen!?

I need one for beer purposes....

Where can I get one?

Cheers!

[Tsh1rtman]

[MOOSHOOPORKCHICKEN]

[iMindless797]

[W11BO1]

@kevinguzzer LOL me too, but I was waiting for the "If you think its time to fucking rock, and fucking roll, out of control" part.

[kevinguzzer]

@Popino09 LOLZ XD

[jawbraeka]

@kevinguzzer i was thinking the same thing ... however i didn't sing it i thought it.

[il0vstewie]

does the glass have to have water in it?

[JacobInstrument]

look shes holding a fraappacino

[nighthawk0077]

@JacobInstrument yes, she also seems too bored or befuddled to appreciate or understand what she is witnessing.

[RoG3R1080k]

That was Boureé from Bach, right?

[Xanii5]

...and then someone throws a stone...

[THE1LOARD]

that was in Alex? missed it

[MrDasturdly]

Looks a little like my principal... Burroughs High anyone?

[DolbyD1G1TAL]

awesome, but what an no-life!

[LoveHeartIce]

How the fuck did you do that???

[EllenRebecca3]

Beautifully played, but he could have picked a better tune.

[Rawwwwwwwwwwwwring]

[killercow46]

[mathsucksmetalrocks]

I wonder what would hapen if the kids behind him got a little bit thirsty

[Caranellus]

[blackstonewielder19]

[bitterxreilly]

He's doing the robot.

[Olegos]

fA8G1rWrGt8

[AylaMM]

[SayNOtoCarrots]

[45522t]

[Nebelvir123987]

shi* the glasses actually make sound?

[AlyssaConrad96]

Clasico!!!

[MorkaGraven]

This is rediculously insane! I salute you.

[Kikokix2007]

Wow!! Bouree in Em by bach!! Hes great!!

[72marshflower15]

Ok that was pretty phucin cool. I do agree: What would that big ass glass sound like? And the tiny one too?

[notthatkidagain]

i saw this dude. i gave him a dollar.

[CaileeMarie3]

HE is a BEAST! ^.^

[ArableMuumuuLand]

that kid on the right is not havin it

[pencildives]

Does anyone know what he uses to amplify? Piezos?

[notthatkidagain]

@pencildives nothing. i seen it.

I SEEN IT WITH ME OWN TWO EYES!!

=O

[pencildives]

@notthatkidagain Darn, I'm only wondering because I've seen another guy who amplifies his glass harp using some sort of pickup, but i just can't figure out what it is

[Treemeadow]

Mr Jack Skellington?

[Vlican]

wow that's awesome

[SOULGIRL888]

waste of water much :\

[mushnoodle]

@SOULGIRL888 lady what are you talking about. He will need all those once he gets thirsty after a long hard day of performing :)

[heffalump208]

WOW! =O

[LizzyChan101]

That guy's gonna get lead poisoning...

[AngryLlamaz]

how can this lead to lead poisoning?

[piqueret]

:S just play the video - the intro is too long

[Mr6shotns240s]

wow. That tune is hard enough to play on a guitar let alone those glasses

[sminhle]

Glass Harp produces somewhat very light, sweet and beautiful tone, but yet very expensive. It also requires great effort and practice, and haha, it may not work properly in the summer - the water could evaporate bringing about the glasses out of tune :)

[aerostar546]

Awesome. O-O I didn't know sounds from glass could be so beautiful~!

[SNDVSNLFE]

And im pretty sure the song is by Jethro Tull

[roberttiso]

It's bourèe in e minor by J.S.Bach,

Jethro Tull used the first part as intro to one of there

songs in the album "Thick as a brick", of course in there style.

[SNDVSNLFE]

The glasses are supposed to be pure crystal Also.

[gonedude000]

thats why if you look at their hands, they somethimes move their hand near the edges its to dampen them in some extra water

[meatsnax03]

how do u set that up? i pured water in a glass and rubbed the rim..

didnt work.. llol

[rdurdle88]

make sure its glass, not plastic or crystal and then you have to rub a certain way. I found it helps if your finger is slightly damp. Its a combination of rubbing and pressing that makes the sound, just practice.

[KalahariKAri]

let me first pick my jaw up off the floor.

I have never seen/heard anything like this...on glasses! Fantastic!!

[zarnaik]

This is just too good to say in words how great that was.

1:40, that is just unbelieveable. Never heard a better tone than that one in my whole life.

Peace,

Pax

[Bingolitti]

whats the name of the song?

[roberttiso]

Bourrée in E minor is a popular lute piece, the fifth movement from Suite in E minor for Lute, BWV 996 (BC L166) written by Johann Sebastian Bach.

[Bingolitti]

thx...

[Awesomo4003]

This man is a nut, more artists should be like this man.

[SilverishKitten]

what happens when the finger dries?

[camathonicus]

That's frickin awesome :D Nice job dude!

[AdolfWagen]

す、凄すぎる

美しい音と、グラスを演奏する姿がまた幻想的だな。

[nadiapolonia2]

I wonder what the big ass glasses on the right sound like...

[TheOmegaHG]

@nadiapolonia2

Buhhhhh (gravelly voice)

[FreshwaterPisces]

@nadiapolonia2 I'm guessing that's the bass....

[Joemckna]

@nadiapolonia2 While walking around the waterfront in old town, I stopped and watched this guy play a few years ago, and he asked me and another person to come up and play with him. I got to play the large glasses. Lot of fun!

[ArvonLisaVero]

@nadiapolonia2 I have just one thing to say: xkcd.com/37/

[echels]

That is awesome! I noticed you only wet your right hand?

[WheelchairMania]

Well done! nice vid

[7458BudInhaler]

How exactly does that work it's cool as shit. nice vid man

[dimsummusubi]

you never slid your finger on the lip of a crystal wine glass?

[Salisaad]

@7458BudInhaler you make glasses vibrate with your wet finger and they make such sound. This is the basic, you of course need to get the right pitch.

[borisderabbit]

That's a real musician!!

[tanialumor]

qué maravilla!!!

[TheJnorm77]

thats wicked cool

[tarkle]

Not quite Tenacious D as much Bouree in E Minor by Bach.

[skacen]

cant you hear he`s the man let me hear you applaud:P

[Th3Unf0rg1v3n95]

he is more than a man hes a shiny golden god.

[lavendardust]

it's amazing how they do that.

[HelloMochi420]

i love this guy!!!

[blueredrum36]

bad fucken asssssssss!!!!

[Quarker99]

I am GOBSMACKED after watching this

[heeh2]

if you think its time to fucking rock, and fucking roll, out of controll

[gr33klyra]

simply amazing

[xItachisGFx]

this is amazing. no matter how much I think about it I can't figure out how they do it...

[brunopizza22]

i wish i could make any sound with wine glasses... i tried so many times with so many different glasses xD

[GothicPanama]

lol... its very easy.. but playing music like this sir is fucking hard... I play violin and guitar, I would love to learn to play this...

[jorra79]

u rock

[Lukozade123]

What the fuck! The audience is just standing there i would be stunned and probably fainting with amazment. Woo go glass harp!

[kingpuya]

Thats the problem! They're really stunned! Hes a monster!

[TheYtml]

rofl at 1:41 - look at the kid on the upper corner! his head circles he's like, "wow. i just got pwn3d."

[peterson719]

how do they resonate for such a long time.

[TruthDrummer65]

cause theyre thin wine glasses

[parnmkie]

rely cool :D

[jmfkno7]

Can't you see he's the man, let me hear you applaud, he is more than a man, he's a shining golden god!

[tarzona14]

wow

[Predking1234]

Anyone know why he kept dipping his right hand into a glass ?

[shgrems]

its to keep it wet if its dry it wont make that noise

[TehKaikai]

you need wet fingers to have the glass make noise.

[kingpuya]

Because the water friction against the wine glass makes the sound.

[CrayonsAreEpic]

yeah but u need crystal

[SweetxKiss]

wow. this is amazing. i wish i knew how to play music like this XD

[LAMCL23]

That was awesome! :)

[ActorJames9421]

What is the name of this tune?

[Ravenhunt]

It's "Bourrè" by Johan Sebastian Bach...

[tiby2403]

VA = Vancouver?
