  • 81 people have no appreciation for music and the arts.

  • Like someone said: just one person, one guitar

  • Why da hell is my coment still up there? -.-

  • When is this guy coming to atlanta?

  • Why did'nt using socks?

  • While I don't care for this style of music I do appreceiate the talant that goes with this man. I wish I was half as talanted as he.

  • Don't you just hate how there is always someone who does not like something as beautiful as this. Seriously, how can you dislike this?

  • this is the kind of humans for which the world has to exist for some more milleniums just to give them the possibility to be creative! you're amazing man :)

  • Excelente Guitarrista ,,,

  • wait, dude? this guy right here just playin' guitar for 7 minutes non stop? i

  • Why is mattfox06's comment among the top comments? In fact, why did he even write it? I'm tempted to call him an idiot but he might just as well be a nitpicker.

  • Comment removed

  • Jesus Christ.

  • Also the E-flat string (wtflol) is slightly out of tune...

  • Amusing for a minute until the bad technique causing the fret-buzz makes ones ears hurt... Rather than being an narcissist, why not arrange this for two proper guitars with another player and make it sound beautiful, rather than mediocre and irritating. kthnxbai

  • @mattfox06 2 guitars = not as efficient as 1 guitar. Plus that's 50% less money he makes from gigs, brah.

  • Reminds me Coldplay. It'd be great if he could sing too.

  • I love that he's in his bare feet! This took me back to New York, sitting in my boyfriends car as he toured me through the city, cars whizzing past us, the view from the bridges and the endless people, faces - life!.

    BEAUTIFL, MOVING, COMMANDING, CAPTIVATING.

    Thank you.

  • Any chance this could be made louder?

  • @Jackcabbit crank ur amp

  • @ConservababeUSA What race are you being racist against? are you really that ignorant? Try every race that isn't american. Guess what, there are more languages in america than just english. Also, this website is in a global domain, meaning people from all over the world use this website, and have the right to speak in whatever language they're most comfortable using. If someone says something in a language you don't understand, and you wanna know what they said,just ask someone for a translation

  • @ConservababeUSA And by the way, I wasn't trying to control anyone. All I was saying is that music has no racial or language boundaries, and it has the power to unite people from all over the world, weather they understand the lyrics or not. I know this is true because I've seen it happen hundreds of times in the past, as I'm mixed race, and don't fully understand my dad's first language. However, the feeling of the song is there, and that is where I draw most understanding from.

  • @ConservababeUSA Yes, you have as much right as anyone to post what you think, but that does not mean people from other countries have less right to post what they think. Did you know the english language is actually made of words from other languages, such as german, gaelic and french? I bet you didn't think about that, did you? Funny thing, multiculturalism, it always has a way of enriching a nation or community.

  • @ConservababeUSA And by the way, communist countries wouldn't accept me, because I know what I believe in and refuse to back down from those beliefs.

  • Boombox1967-with all due respect I would ask you to consider that the true meaning and value of music and art in general has nothing to do with judging someone else's intelligence or taste. It's an insult to the artist to imply that his art and the lack of appreciation for it means that someone is ignorant. Art and music evoke reactions and as a composer and musician, I really don't care about the reactions as long as they exist. If not, I look to my music as the reason not the audience. Peace.

  • is that his own work or is it some classical piece ot something?

  • his guitar looks swollen

  • @nicocart3r That's because it's a 10 string guitar, not a regular 6 string

  • it really sux that Frasca's CD is o/p. How could this happen? Like he has so few fans here...

  • @bbbartolo

    Dominic CD actually was rereleased on his own label with new cover art and a track that his previous record company would not place on the previous release. There is actually a new recording in the works of solo music and music for guitar and voice. Individual tracks will be release very soon.

  • @guitar122334 anyway I d/l'ed an mp3 of the CD from Frasca's own website and have been enjoying it.

    Was the track you're referring to "Millie"? If so I understand their position, and think including it's a bit juvenile myself, at least compared to the awesomeness of the music.

    Good news about the new recording...

  • @Lund2008Rebel Life ain't bad or good, life is just horror and beauty crashing each other... some times the only way to create is detroying something... at least that the way we attack the system.

  • clearly a genius if he can make a beautiful intro as that with just picking open strings!

  • exelente solo tiene problemas de tiempo

  • Incredible piece. The instrument is something else, too. Shows a lot of technical mastery of the instrument as well as creativity.

  • this song is so beautiful!!! I like...

  • this is beautifull :3 i think im gona cry

  • @Lund2008Rebel Dito

  • Impossible to describe how amazing this is.

  • Simply wonderful.

  • Dare I say it sounds a bit out of tune?

  • @AScottToney Yeah it was hard to ignore that one slightly flat note. It was that open D note I think... but really a beautiful piece regardless!

  • He kinda reminds me of Moby.

  • what a piece!!! awesome...made me cry

  • @ConservababeUSA White Power!

  • @Wooogaaa Stop being racist!

  • @25151206 Maybe i introduce you into so called "irony":

    "A statement that, when taken in context, may actually mean something different from, or the opposite of what is written literally; the use of words expressing something other than their literal intention, notably as a form of humor."

  • 79 people suck pole

  • yeah literally got ta this video from impossible guitar

  • Who else got here after watching Impossible Guitar?

  • @RadSock i did..

  • @RadSock  Exactly

  • @tinasdude Dam i had to go wiki the guy to find out his name first, but he is pretty amazing, tho' he uses a little... "Cheat" :P

  • @tinasdude

    me too!

  • @RadSock me ha ha

  • Who ele get here after watching Impossible Guitar?

  • @RadSock i did

  • @RayClio good for you my friend!

  • So beautiful. Very tranquil and hypnotic. Thank you sir, for giving us the gift of your music!

  • I had to make a couple facts about a random guy in college the other day, and so I chose Sir Frasca here, and one of the facts, which I'm sure everyone here will agree with me on, was: Mr. Frasca is the greatest guitarist that lives today

  • Comment removed

  • @Boombox1967 I like this and i'm dumb as fuck. So, apparently, you're wrong.

  • @Boombox1967 Do you really suggest that the sincere experiences of those who do not share your view are corrupted just because you see their incapability of appreciation as a intellectual handicap?

    How patronising.

    You need to learn a lot about music if you are so shallow in social status just because some people do not share your view...

    It was the inconditional love for music that created this.

    We all love differently, this doesnt make someone higher or lower in hierarchy

  • @TopekaStateHospital your on youtube..... dont expect too much from its community of kids and assholes of the like. this is the basic layout of the youtube community

    Kids:45%

    Asswipes;45%

    decent human beings:10%

  • @weewoozesty more like

    Kids: 10%

    Asswipes: 10%

    Ppl with the two above combined: 70%

    Decent humans: 10%

  • @TopekaStateHospital while i agree with what ur saying, ur grandiloquent language hardly makes u sound smart. u just come off as a pompous jackass. im not here to troll, i just wish u wudnt be so ostentatious

  • ha random Mac

  • tabs please

  • @okcomputer19 I don't even wanna begin to imagine those tabs! Did you see how fast and easy he made playing guitar look? He wasn't even plucking for the lower notes!

  • @Lund2008Rebel

    yes it is just sounds better with this

  • This is the sound Chuck Norris's piss makes when it hits the toilet!

  • cool

    

  • what basis could you possibly have for disliking something this great?

  • @deltadiablo low iq and depression

  • haha my dad is called Dominic Frasca

  • Strange sound.....but interesting.... the style of music like phllipglass....congratulation

  • I am a huge fan of acoustic instrumentals, but the repetition of Frasca's music puts me to sleep. Come to think of it... Maybe that was his intention? Naptime.

  • Theres like three melodies at once..

  • There´s the arpeggio that he plays on the right hand with an occasional accent on lower strings. Left hand seems to do the bass line with hammer-on notes. Sounds simple but it isn´t. I admire his technique but keeping the tempo similar through the song makes it a bit drowsy, because the listener is basically bombarded with constantly similar notes and not leaving any room for interpretation or exciting discoveries. A common trait among virtuosos.Still, amazing stuff!

  • I saw him perform this one at his futuristic The Monkey club with all the surround sound and 3d installations. All I could say is "holy shit.."

  • I dig the whole "I play barefoot because I play however I feel most comfortable" vibe I get off this video.

  • @ThreePieceSuite05 I often play barefoot so I can press the smaller buttons on my floor units without using my fingers.

  • @Baltam314 I can dig it man. An artist should use their body however they feel most comfortable.

  • This is inspirational and almost a little bit discouraging. I have got a lot of practicing to do on my guitar playing.

  • Mr. Frasca is truly an artist. His beautiful play of this fascinating instrument is both calming and inspiring. The man ought to be more well-known. He's also barefoot on stage. Fugeddit Dom!

  • This is so beautiful. Great song and video ! Thank you, for posting.

  • Wow....poetry....

  • lØl_åñYóNÉ_wânnÀ_chÃt_wÌth_me_­Î_fÉel_sÒ_lÖÑEly_tÒDAÿ..

  • This guy be a perfect guitarist...wish hed do more composing than just this ambient stuff (not that I dislike it :P).

  • good technics... but boring

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • pretty repetitive man. not bad, but not the best.

  • @IronMaidenRules000 really bro? if its that boring, i got two pieces of advice:

    1. Try and make it exciting. listen to it a few times, it may grow on you.

    2. Don't go to videos and make negative comments. you'll only be hated.

    and btw, you really shouldn't judge people so quickly. and i reallly hope you know exactly what pretentious means ;)

    but seriously, just open your mind a little. im not trying to be condescending or anything, but just give it a shot. try something new :D

  • how can you not like this?? unless your deaf thats understandable

  • I was falling asleep to this song...then at the very end everyone just HAD to clap.

  • Barefoot like a boss

  • сукин сын...

  • @evgesh1YT

    I AGREE...

  • Reminds me of Phillip Glass with guitar instead of the piano :-)

  • @flaviny i heard Dominic is quite the glasshead

  • Do you know what the most beautiful thing about music like this is? Everyone has their own story to fit it into place with it, kinda like an escape from day to day.... ill get my head outa the clouds :( but this music makes me think my dreams is... right in front of my face... idk, thats what i get from it

  • @Lund2008Rebel I found hilarity in the use of WoW instead of a normal wow.

  • He should tour with Tosin Abasi.

  • that's sick. how was it supposed to be tuned?

  • The tone's kinda depressing... it honestly makes me sit there and realize how much wrong i've ever done to people i love :'(

  • @Sundaybmxer4life that's a good thing. it's called purging.

  • Better than Hendrix.

  • @RyanRoberzzz suck a dick retard, theyre different genres you incompetent fuck.

  • @SKAuthenticDank Still better than hendrix, though. What can I say, when you got talent, you got talent.

  • @Lund2008Rebel I totally Agree.

  • What is there to complain about? If you honestly don't think this isn't PERFECT, go hang yourself. Because it's perfect, you could never play like that, and don't you lie to me and say otherwise. You're not even worth that. This is perfect, and I'm in love with that guitar!

  • @i1killed2god3

    Lol, nice double negative.

  • How is it even possible to give this a thumbs down? I mean it may not be exactly perfect but the composition would drive any experienced guitar player crazy trying to play that Many different rhtyhms at once. This man is a genius and an even better musician. I'm absolutely blown away.

  • wow. i clicked on this by accident. thank god. that makes me take a breath

  • distune guitar

  • Look Ma ... my hands are tiny hammers!!!

  • It's not about who's the "best", or anything such as that (which is a useless concept, anyway, considering the amazing diversity of players). It's about expressing what is in you. That is the beauty of it.

  • Finger tapping and all other manner of genius use of a now elevated instrument.

    Anyone know if this guy has released any recent material?

  • @Dredgioncore2 his only commercial release is an album called Deviations

  • @GarretsShadow Sad :( He is brilliant and more must hear this said brilliance. Any Ideas where I can get that CD of his?

  • @Dredgioncore2 it is sad, he has more material, but for whatever reason he has decided not to publish it. I personally downloaded the CD from iTunes, however iTunes has messed up the conversion somewhat and near the end of one of the tracks you can hear a bit of interferance. But you could probably get it off amazon or something

  • Very repititious and monotonous. Am I missing something?

  • @spectrumifs ....your ears !!!

  • @spectrumifs It's a taste thing. I kind of enjoy listing to music that pretty much only repeats itself like this. Calms me down

  • @spectrumifs Your focusing to much on the music, listen to it, don't analyze it.

  • @spectrumifs your supposed to listen to the changes in bass line, but this video is too quite so you cant really hear it. I recorded it with audacity and increased the volume

  • @spectrumifs

    same here....it never really really appealed to me...No complex chords, no time-signature changes......this is basic stuff

  • @jeanpaulfelix Complex chords? Are you retarded?

  • @jeanpaulfelix You're saying two things. The first is that playing a guitar in a Standardized tuning, using chords that hundreds of thousands of people know, is "Complex" Insinuating it's more difficult than this mans 12 string acoustic tuned however he see's fit. Secondly, did you not see his fingers? Just because a Chord doesn't have ALL of the strings played at once, making a sound that mildly dampens the possibility of error, doesn't mean it's "Basic." Lastly listen to what you like ^^.

  • 71 dislikes? Fucking haters.

  • forrealsss ppl from skool r like omg! mystery guitar man is fuckin awsome blah blah blah blah...watched that shit like wtfff r u fuckin seriousss u guys r a fuckin bunch o f morans fuckin idiots fasinated by istupidity like wtf is this world turning into? may only god save us

  • Check out "Ana Vidovic" here on youtube to see how it is done! At the moment it is the 2nd vid in the suggestions list. That is how to play a classical guitar (hers is a 6-string). Don't be discouraged, keep working.

  • Simply Stunning epecially around the 1:50 mark... wow.

  • beautiful  <3

  • guitarists! youtube under: guitarist live show

  • guitarists! pls check my video

  • I find this kind of annoying. Its primarily just areggios.

    Lose the laptop.

  • @420Honey get a proper one rathen than lose it

  • génial!!

    

  • god like

  • 70 people either don't know or hate to be calm, be relaxed, good music, classic inspiring finger guitar play, themselves, fantasy, daydreaming, touch of the human soul, beauty in the world, peace, harmony, balance, anti-stress music, Domininc Frasca, 10-string guitar and everything else good and beautiful in this world.

  • k HOW many fingers does this guy have??? can't be just 5... inspiring. truly inspiring...

  • @DUDELETSPLAYWITHFIRE he actually has 20 and plays using 10

  • woulda been sweet if i could hear it

  • i almost sleep at this... so relaxing

  • 70 people dislike their lives..

  • @Frez121212 it's not that...i think this song it's just amazing, but can make some people feel sad...

  • Cool, but no shoes?

  • it's a shame this wasn't released more widely, i think it's one of his best pieces...

  • cant believe how people are haters and negative like that in front of everyone on internet especialy the comments on you tube just appreciate or look at something else no one forces you guy to listen to this video .

    BECAUSE IN REAL LIFE MOST OF YOU GUY'S WOULD CLOSE THERE MOUTH INTERNET DOES NOT GIVE YOU SUPER POWERS

  • @quoikoi You're a fucking idiot.

  • @quoikoi True man ;) , he's just showing what he's capable of, you guys won't get better by just hating him or comparing him with others.

  • In the beginning a sunny day, then rainy day, then the rainbow spreads in the sky, then a couple are climbing a mountain and finaly the nightfall.

  • he is the best

  • man is just enjoying his instrument and creating something unique along the way....

  • @8276205 Not very open minded? Your right it's not drunkin music. It's great when your doing homework!

  • @dustyandlevon leave him be.

    He is a Troll.

    This is like a Sunday drive when Shit's hit the Fan, and you see a ray of hope.

  • @8276205 okay buddy because you must be the god of all music, and are aware that the ONLY true forms of music are for dancing, drinking, or singing and dancing drunk around a campfire. I wanna be a concieted, close-minded, music-hating dbag like you when i get older. Get the hell off of here if you're just gonna hate.

  • @SMZMUSIC1 --don't have to wait till you get older-you've accomplished it already.

  • @8276205 HAH bitch please! You're just the kind of turd I would love to meet in person. Ball-less. So you've played for 45 years (let's assume you're at least 50) and your life consists of dancing, drinking and campfires? I swear, man. You really put a smile on my face, albeit a pitying one.

  • but can he dance?

  • he's a clown compared to yepes
