[joshualeepick]

Great work man! Keep it up!

[poliniandrea88]

[AndrewKesler]

@poliniandrea88 Thanks a lot!

[Jamiesjammin1]

hey buddy! great clip! which were you first? drummer, guitarist, bass player, or keyboardist?

[AndrewKesler]

@Jamiesjammin1 Started guitar at 5, piano at 7, and bass and drums I messed around with probably around that time. My "professional" title is having a degree in jazz piano.

[jenna158]

what do the headphones do?

[AmbientAudio]

You should have way more views than this man... This is amazing, I hope you get the exposure you deserve!!!

[AndrewKesler]

@AmbientAudio Thanks a lot! That really means a lot to hear that. This video wasn't nearly as easy as it may look lol. Well if you want to help me get more views feel free to share it!

[Thumpalina100]

Wow, I'm surprised this video doesn't have 100,000 hits...GREAT JOB!

[ciucinciu]

How come you play on a right handed drum set and you are lefthanded? (great stuff man)

[Lalairu]

My guitar teacher loves funky and thanks to him I discovered it. Really cool Loop man, :D keep rocking.

[Kawa250R]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[avivaben]

DAMN!

[sofia0725]

ok. well i just absolutely and utterly fell in love with you<3 haha

[pordostubos]

Brutalllllll. :)

[KevinHamProductions1]

ps I have decent monitors for recording so I can hear the bass. Not bad, maybe a little "thin" as far as the bass goes. Good playing either way!

[AndrewKesler]

@KevinHamProductions1 Thanks dude. Yeah, mixing bass is my weakest point. Haha i never know what I want or what is the right amount or tone or anything.

[KevinHamProductions1]

sweet man! I liked it before the solo came in, i loved it after. Good editing, check out my split-screen jam. I need to get some real drums on my tracks rather than a keyboard.

[Dutchhomepage]

I know this is real, but hey, you're not real! I would be amazed playing 2 instruments, but I think I leave it to you! :P

[Socratess2007]

Congratulations Andrew ! I'm 54 years old and I'm normally not into this kind of music. But your video is the first one that I saw completely, because........ what you do here is just .....fascinating ! Your future lies in the world of music, that's for sure :) !!

[lucjesuistonpere]

what scale do you play for your improv/solo at the end ? It's amazing!

[E84125]

cool!!!!!!

I'll try it some day~

[MiCo0H]

fuck, you are a monster

[theragtimefan]

=O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nuff said

[able2biteme]

lol i can only play 1 instrument=(

[BytchEPoo]

good job; that was amazing!!!



[paulgem123]

Way Cool, Way Fun!

[sidferreir]

This is Funk!!!

[rmorrone3]

hell yeah man nice stuff!!! i was actually thinking of doing something like this and thought it'd be so original, but i stumbled upon this randomly and youre way more legit and i would look like a poser trying to do it anyway. haha!

[toejam498]

if this is rockin out ;id hate to see your slow stuff

[cbkuhlman]

How do you play the fill at 1:48?

[AndrewKesler]

@cbkuhlman Triplets! Kick-Right-Left Kick-Right-Left!

[cbkuhlman]

@AndrewKesler Thank you.

[virtualbeck]

Oh my gosh, AWESOME! Keep it up Andrew.

[lucasloud]

Wow, I love that keyboard lick when you come in with the B3 sound. Mix is great, very clean! You rock.

[BrighamHB]

Nice stuff man! That must've taken a million takes to get that right! I do multitrack stuff but never all in one take with looping like that, I'd go crazy before I could ever get a decent take

[AndrewKesler]

@BrighamHB Hahaha it wasn't easy that's forsure. I actually tried it a week earlier and got a decent take, but as a perfectionist I knew it wasn't as good as I could do it. This one was the closest to my standards, however there are about 15 other complete takes...

[areshbanaji]

dude, youre great!

nice mix too

[benbirdy]

nice slice of music!

[rustOfunk]

You'd be better if you didn't hold your guitar backwards. I mean, really. Do you see anyone playing keyboards Left side high, right side low?! Answer: NO. Just kidding. It's just as much fun to watch your joy as it is to listen to you. Very in-the-vortex playing. I dig it. Keep it up!

[AndrewKesler]

@rustOfunk Hahaha, thanks man! I think your "mirror-keyboard" idea is rather brilliant tho. Let me know once you get a test model and I'll give it a try!

[kabelux]

Impressive!

[fdm91ytb]

hell...is there something that u can't play? xD i reeeeally love your ability when play drums! :D veeery well! very goooooood job!

from italy,

frank! :)

[AndrewKesler]

@fdm91ytb Thanks Frank! I'm actually in Italy right now, playing at the Atina Jazz festival until July 31!

[semiLivedj]

Nice! Do you sing?Not that it matters.Hahaha,You remind me of me in my dreams.

[AndrewKesler]

@semiLivedj Haha I do indeed, I have plenty of videos of me and my quartet.

[creamyfilling102]

I like his use of the hi hat.

[AcousticFingerstyle7]

this is amazing.



[chrisandnicky]

im so blown away by your geniousness that i dont even care if ive spelt this comment right or not!!!

[junksabs]

That's simply amazing

[FuzzieLogick]

Excellent video, now subscribing!

[cherrypie14]

simply delightful. 

[DanishCartoonist]

Wow, man! That was coooool!! I'm writing this in Denver, Colorado right now. I'm over for the BHS Internationals in Kansas next week. Heard your quartet aren't going. Spewing! Was looking forward to meeting you blokes!

[AndrewKesler]

@DanishCartoonist Haha where did you hear that? Of course we're going! We just can't stay for the entire week

[MrDanielbipolar]

your song sounds like a cartoon network song xD

[MrDanielbipolar]

ha the song remember me to a song of ed,edd n eddy xD

[remoods]

Andrew ! You are amazing ! Thumbs up !!!

REMOODS

[Partyburner]

Awesome! You're variety of talents is amazing, Andrew! And looping is cool---feels like "live multitracking" :).

[trynnytye]

wouah !!

[NickMercurio]

how did you get each track to automatically loop and record?

[AndrewKesler]

@NickMercurio I did that while I was editing. When I recorded it, it didn't loop, which is why I had to play to a really loud metronome and a scratch track I made. Afterwards I trimmed the sections for each instrument and then looped them.

[NickMercurio]

@AndrewKesler epic.

[bookhouseboy15]

Thanks for another terrifically entertaining vid, Andrew. Your multifaceted musical talent is great, and part of what makes it so good is the infectious joy you clearly seem to feel as you're creating music and layering tracks. (Your nice smile doesn't hurt, either!) Thanks again; I look forward to your next post. :)

[jimbobaroobud]

I just posted this to my Facebook profile page.

[jimbobaroobud]

What?!? No brass?!? You have enough talent to be twenty or thirty people!  I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel. I love to see your one man multi-talent extravaganzas. Keep them coming.

[AndrewKesler]

@jimbobaroobud thanks man! Haha I DID seriously consider putting sax and trumpet on this one, but I only have 8 inputs and all of them were being used already! Besides, I'm sure I would mispitch some of the trumpet notes making it impossible to pull off.

[ToXicX1994]

You are an awesome Guitar player. Did you have learned it by yourself or by a teacher? Your awesome by the way.

[AndrewKesler]

@ToXicX1994 I'm mostly self-taught. My dad showed me some chords when I was 5 and I kinda took it from there. I have studied with some classical and jazz teachers for a few years along the way, and at the same time I was also studying classical and jazz piano, so a lot of the theory knowledge overlapped. I was huge into shredder guitar players in high school, guys like Vai, Satch, Malmsteen, Eric Johnson, Dream Theater. I'm a little more mellow now, playing a lot of funk, rock, fusion and jazz.

[skidfrog]

awesome work Andrew

I've been keeping an eye on ye fer about a year and you're realllly growing as an artist !

heck...I even bought myself a guitar and retired from barbershop to rock out a bit harder / It's amazing what you can learn when you're inspired !

D

[AndrewKesler]

@skidfrog Thank you! Glad to hear you're rocking out. I encourage people to wear as many "musical hats" as they like. My videos are a wide assortment of varying musical genres and different instrumentation, and I don't do that to prove or "show-off" that I can do it. I do it because I really love it and I'm always finding myself inspired by other people to try different things, it's how we grow as musicians and as people.

[TheRyno421]

You are the best music player i know of, and I think you have the making of being the biggest hit in the music industry! you are amazing at your music, and dont you forget it man. keep on rocking man! :DDD

[TheRyno421]

Andrew, I am a big fan, and I only saw your vids 2 nights ago. You, my friend, are talented. I believe you have a bright future. P.S., ROCK ON!!!!!!!

[sebabadk]

Wow nice... but when i see this video i thought you turned the bass reverse:P

[musicscifigirl]

Andrew this is so awesome!!! You are so freaking talented!

[robi10101]

Come on! Make me more rocked out with more cool vids like this! You ROCK man!!!

[pipomaus]

Wahnsinn!!!!

[defribilatorvideos]

Mr. Kesler, you're probably one of my greatest idols. As someone who is just beginning to work with recording and multitracking, you seem to be a fantastic creative beacon. Your work is very much appreciated, and I love how your attention for detail is balanced out by your equally-present sense of tongue-and-cheek fun. Thank you so much.

[AndrewKesler]

@defribilatorvideos Thank you so much! That's very encouraging of you to say! Haha I don't think "idol" is the right word, but it really makes me happy to know that my work has inspired you! I have plenty of people that I look up to and emulate. Yours is one of the nicest comments I've ever received on youtube, and I won't take it lightly. Thank you for your attention to detail as a listener/viewer. I try and do my best with my work while putting on my personality in it and I'm glad you noticed!

[AndrewMarcell]

I envy you and your instrument-filled room!

You've got talent bro, both as a singer and all-around musician. I look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

[creamyfilling102]

way to make all of us moderatly good multiple instrument players feel like shit lmfao.

[manolismoumouzias]

Ladies and Gentlemen the Multi-talented Multi-Instrumentalist and Amazing Vocalist Andrew Kesler!! Andrew this subscription is worthwhile! Great video! Congrats!

[AndrewKesler]

@manolismoumouzias You're very kind, and that's definitely much more praise than I deserve, but thank you!

[GibsonplayerStephan]

Nice Work man :D

[MrFungi93]

Hey, Any plans to come down to Calgary Alberta? Please get back to me!

[MDMesser001]

Don't make MY mistake! Listen to this on a computer with good speakers, not a lap-top! Question: How long before Andrew can earn a VERY comfortable living strictly by using his musical talents? I'm guessing it won't be long at all.

[AndrewKesler]

@MDMesser001 hahaha well if everyone was as awesome as you Mike, that may just happen! I'm blessed to have so many awesome subscribers and supporters here on Youtube. And as long as they stay that way, I"ll do my best to make videos for them.

[staarshineee]

PLEASE tell me that you're performing at the Toronto Jazz Fest this year!!

[AndrewKesler]

@staarshineee I wish, I'm in Saskatoon for most of the summer. I'm playing a jazz fest in Italy for 2 weeks near the end of July.... yay!!!

[dregel2006]

nice as always!!

[piperpilot26]

Killer Job Andrew!! I've been wondering what you've been up to in terms of music. I'm looking forward to more videos like this!!

[OogaB0oga]

That was indeed 'somewhat cool' !!

[FriPilot]

Kick ass, Andrew! I like this one a lot!

Fri

[DrifterToo]

You really want us to judge your offering after we've seen Kesler? Hang your head!

[drumguy127]

AWESOME! My only question is: why play the bass upside-down? Were you showing off that you could play it that way or is that just how you learned to play it?

[AndrewKesler]

@drumguy127 Well I play guitar left-handed, BUT I don't own a left-handed bass, so I had to play my dad's right-handed bass backwards. It's not as hard as it looks and this wasn't a particularly hard bassline. You'll find a lot of left-handed guitarists can usually fake their way on a right-handed instrument just because most often if there's a guitar lieing around, it's right-handed so we exercise adaptive radiation!

[drumguy127]

@AndrewKesler Well don't I feel silly now. That was actually my first guess, but I didn't pick up on the fact that you were playing left-handed guitar. >.<

[PyjamaPrime]

who the fuck is the one person who disliked this? shame on you!!!

[MoonPhysical]

All i see is money money money + skillz :O im jelly

[AndrewKesler]

@MoonPhysical Haha you're right.... all that stuff costs a lot indeed. Thankfully I have generous friends that let me borrow stuff when I need it! Plus I stopped buying Pokemon cards so I have a little more money to spare ;)

[MoonPhysical]

@AndrewKesler XD ahhhh pokemon cards. explains everything XD

[momusmomus]

I hope you continue doing similar things! :D it was amazing dude! ...

[langtungting]

This is really awesome. The world needs more musicians like you, so keep on rocking!

By the way, i laughed a bit when i saw the bass upside down. But, im acutally impressed that you are able to play it like that! New style!

[Purierca]

"Groovy baby !" - Austin Powers.

[TheNavypiccolo]

Very well done. One of the better looping videos I have seen.

[krazyfatboy]

all this and he sings!!! =0

[bigemoney31]

Epic! The bass player for my dad's band learned the same way, had to flip the right handed bass over. He's an awesome player now, and he's been playing it that way for 35 years.

[murry537]

That was a kickin' funky groove. Thanks for picking up my Monday a bit! Hard to be in a bad mood with a jam like that floating round my head.

[AndrewKesler]

@murry537 My pleasure buddy! If my music doesn't reach anyone, what's the point?!

[loudpath1313]

@AndrewKesler true dat! this was totally awesome and you are a supermegafoxyAWESOMEhot person!! :D

[lavaflea1234]

you sir are my new god :)

that was just awesome and just radiatiating funkyness :)

keep it up :)

[eBeauLive]

Dude, you are so good at life.

[lucasas8]

Very Talented ddue! congrats ;D

[dansith]

left handers unite!

[gavrjdodd]

Jesus christ. Your so god-damn talented!!!!!!! haha :)

[dirtyfeet201]

Are your drum sounds fake?



[eBeauLive]

@dirtyfeet201 You're retarded.

[matijn24]

Wow, nice, very good. I love how you play all instruments with ease.

[Rayvontae]

You are simply bad ass homie! Just outright AWESOME at music and life in general!

[GeorgePatrickStokes]

this rocks!! can't hear the bass at all though. :/

[MDMesser001]

@GeorgePatrickStokes I had the same problem - turns out the bass doesn't come through on lap-top or cheap speakers. Plays GREAT on my desktop, which has decent speakers.

[GutpileCharlie]

OUT STANDING! :-)

[jaginaz]

I'd share this on Facebook, but I don't think it's "somewhat cool"... I think it's TOTALLY AWESOME! :P

[AndrewKesler]

@jaginaz Haha thanks man! Cheers!

[unclesam6]

forever alone.

[TheNickyTams]

This is sick, needs bagpipes tho..

[AndrewKesler]

@TheNickyTams That or cowbell....

[Boziak]

@AndrewKesler Always need more cowbell



[AndreaAranaChannel]

oh man, how do you learn to do all this?

[AndrewKesler]

@AndreaAranaChannel Hard question to answer. I've been playing all these instruments for a minimum of 12 years... Although I focus mostly on piano/keys and guitar now, I still try and practice a bit. Mostly it's just being around great musicians who inspire you and really keeping your eyes and ears open. I learn a lot by watching and listening to great players, and I'm surrounded by amazing musicians in all the groups I play in, there's tons of ways to learn (apart from private lessons).

[AndreaAranaChannel]

@AndrewKesler well now you are awesome :D keep going(: you have a gift U__U

[ThePianoShack]

Talent! Diggin it!!!!

[danwright32]

wow awesome job Andrew! I'm thoroughly impressed at how talented you are on every instrument

[cyborlite]

Very cool!

[fbstjoe]

Talented bastard....

[Jerrywood13]

but I am not left handed



[yiyukun]

an almost perfect music  deh ... ^^

[bacondrums]

what overheads do you have on the drums

[xxmmmtastey13xx]

My brain is Diet Coke....and you are the mentos O.o

[jakal56]

my brain just exploded from a funky overload, love it! lol

[frankieknul]

That was great! Weird to see you're playing a left-handed guitar, a right-handed drumset and your bassguitar upsidedown.. very original! :-)

[Lanakikuta]

you're so awsome ^^

[1205xkiller]

Amazing dude, I love funk and this video is awesome.

[TheLotanos]

Woah, i just realized right now that your playing guitar the wrong way! Are you left handed? :O

[orensampemati]

Andrew is 2nd to the great Jamie Foxx in the most talented men list! and that is the reason i am subscribed to you! your talent puts a smile on my face..

[bohnsack10]

for these things i'm subscribed 2 you:D

[stringX90]

Very awesome Andrew!

[trudbol]

290 of those views are mine. ;-)

[bordonthestreet]

holy shit, Andrew. You push the envelope with each video you make. Excellent song, and your musicianship on these instruments shows some serious skill and talent all around the board. Alright, enough fuel for the fire. Let's get this thing some views.

[jbcraipeau]

wow wow !! I hope you know you're good Andrew lol !! This was awesome !! Can't wait for our next collab !

[Kikopuz]

haha this is great! loved every single instrument, except for the bass maybe. I don't get it, your drum/guitar/keyboard technique is great, but it seems you're not really familiar with the bass guitar.. or am I wrong? (haven't seen all your vids yet, but please show me that I'm wrong :D)

[AndrewKesler]

@Kikopuz Thanks! Haha no no you're totally right! I'm really not super comfortable on bass, I hardly ever play it and since I don't actually have a left-handed bass, I have to play my dad's right-handed bass upsidedown :S So I just have to stick to playing easy things!

[nigel94rich]

Whoa~ niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..........­....... I'm a fan from Malaysia :DDDD Do come to Malaysia and make performance :D

[TheLotanos]

Hey, i expected some credit! just kidding.

HELL YEAH, our good old Andrew Kesler is BACK! Your one-man-band videos are my favorites. ^^

And I was right. your version WAS better than mine. MUCH better. And i will loop it around and around cause i'm gonna watch it tons of times...

We really need to do something together sometime...

[noobhunter3000]

Anyone noticed that he plays his guitars LEFT-handed an the drums RIGHT-handed? Kinda strange ;o)

[angiotensinogene]

yeah dude you're gifted

like it

[steamroller60]

awe-SOME!

[MDMesser001]

I didn't think it was possible, but somehow you just made me wish I was you A LITTLE BIT MORE than I already did! TOO MUCH talent. Houston TX USA salutes you some more.

[ashkaz10]

Absolutely brilliant mate! love it!

i must say, you are one heck of a musician... how you just do that is absolutely amazing!

[thenordicpulse]

Now I know what you had in your mind when you replied to my comment "I'll be unleashing a lot of groove". Absolutely great playing.

[Kirbyrand]

Yep just heard it on the speakers very nice

[therealEmpyre]

I like it! I would sub, if I hadn't already months ago.

[F3Nd3R92]

nice !! great sound!

would be great if you would make a tutorial how you record all your instruments espacially the great sounding drums. !!!!!! PLEASE!

[AndrewKesler]

@F3Nd3R92 I've been thinking about doing that actually.

[F3Nd3R92]

@AndrewKesler would be great ;)



[funnyG1]

that...was...AMAZING!!! I'm studying music next year and you're like my role model!

[googlerocker2007]

Oh my! That sound really got me, nice skills man.

[trudbol]

My head just exploded from watching so much awesomeness. You're one fine, talented entertainer Andrew. And you do it with a big happy smile, so seamlessly. Wow!

[AndrewKesler]

@trudbol you should see the outtakes Julien.... I might post a few haha, not so seamless there!

[trudbol]

@AndrewKesler Still, you kick some serious musical butt. ;-)

PS: Facebook won't let me post this video, there's no thumbnail available at the moment for some reason. I'll try a little later.
