Jimmy Wahlsteen - Rapid Eye Moment - www.candyrat.com

[ohioguitarguy27]

i dont understand y people r so judgemental!!! look at what this man can do on a guitar. This is a gift to music lovers all over the world and then u got people bashing the man because of his cloths. Get real people he is just a guy doing his thing trying to make it in this messed up world and P.S. jimmy keep rockin

[xPeww]

Hard to notice at first glance, but If you look very closely Jimmy's actually playing 3 guitars at once.

[rustymetalblade]

Amazing! I very much enjoyed this. :D

[joshuHA1234]

Ending on the harmonic makes it for me!

[robert1268]

Polished and PR radio worthy, but to me this stuff is all icing and no cake. I need insulin just to digest it. Will somebody please make a ---drum roll------mistake on a recording once in a while?

[Cleudim]

jimmy wahlsteen tem q vim no brasil

[leongecko]

great playing, great musician, terrible video, and terrible production of this song, it doesnt need all these overdubs in my poor uneducated opinion. by the end the tune was completely lost. but I still admire it!!

[Akosuaification]

This is one of my favorite vids on youtube.

[askme123789]

Music: More than an art.

[introducingiki]

i love it when the two top comments reply to each other

[adamsubtract81]

Its Alan Carr!!!!



[satrianidreams]

Eddie Izzard anyone?

[xJuZtiNz]

best playing i've ever heard of my life

[hyfiveable]

unreal



[Emczes]

Yeah bro u r in vibe :p

[gerstebroodje]

I'm not the kind of person to take part in discussions about someone being gay or not, but for your interest: type in Google Imagesearch: 'jimmy wahlsteen' and see for yourself what a beautiful wife (and child) he has!

[artcellrox]

@gerstebroodje Just did. Holy shit, Mrs. Wahlsteen is hot! XD

[bolow31]

i thought i was in a deep sleep when i heard this (REM...)

[wkassis1990]

@bolow31 REM isn't deep sleep, but I see what you (tried to [do]) did there!

[TheKevinK123]

wow

[pedroscott95]

the harmonics at 2:01.. fuck.

[TheBeTrax]

Gay or not, it doesn´t matter! he is a genius and sympathic

[Elpescador83]

Boggs from the shashank redemption haha

[ThumbersDrums]

master of this kind of composition with andy mcKee, i can stop listening to both of them !!

[systematicISC]

*movement.



[eas27]

Felicidades, muy buenas composiciones.,.,.

Gracias por compartir!

[Nicechickencat]

I saw him to the first part of tony emmanuels concert in luxemburg

[pseudogenesis]

This song reminds me of that pleasant dream you wake up from on a saturday morning.

[KennethOestergaard]

One of his other songs is called - Your Favorite.. But this is my favorite :(

[cruiser165]

0:42 2 cups on table sets one down 1:48 two cups of coffee AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!! fffffaaaaaaiiiiiillllllllll

[Yebisu22]

he has the haircut of a lesbian.

good stuff tho

[TheVodKanockers]

Wow... You resent him scarf!?

You guys are nuts!

[bobsneyd]

Sweet and tasty !

[bobfredward]

0:00 <-------- free repeat button :)

[Cyberbob182]

What's the big deal with the scarf ? Doesn't look so gay to me...

[badbradkamarau]

Good playing. Gay scarf

[buste1989]

sounds like little andy mckee´s best friend ^^

so amazing , i have to say !!!

[ssteiyne]

This is one TASTY JAM!! I love it

[1stdeadpresident]

ok, im hooked. i give in.

[1stdeadpresident]

i believe the secret lies within those rings. he's nothing without em. :) love the song.

[Steefnek]

This song makes me happy.

[likeaRocknRoll]

All i can listen to is one of the most beautiful piece of art acoustic music.

[ShaneWreck]

he can wear a boa for all i care...ecspecially if you can play like this.

[vaggabunt]

i wonder if he uses a pick or his fingers o.O

[PrinceiKai]

@vaggabunt Both

[graceoverall]

It's like he's taught the guy how to sing awesome backup!! Talk about getting the most music out of the fewest finger movements :)

[caco123322]

Beatifuuuuuuulllllllllllllllll­lll..............



[ABWEndon]

He'd better watch that hair style, because it's definitely on the road to becoming Garfunkel-esque if it grows much longer and recedes any further!

[xxxBallsOfSteelxxx]

Holy fucking shit..

That is one of the most awesome things i've ever heard!

[Xacutara147]

he looks gay, but his music is awesome

[MrGuitar5203]

@Xacutara147 he looks gay until you see his wife.

[bravicimo]

@MrGuitar5203 Gees! She's hot! :-)

[PikajewElectricRabbi]

40 people have slow eye moments

[LloydRamsey]

not too percusive like some artists which I dare not name their names. The different parts of the sond tie in together so well, its like a 6 course meal.

[DoleplusKraze]

40 People play the recorder

[MrPatrik17797]

Ge is gay?

[Xacutara147]

@MrPatrik17797 i think so

[MrPianoguitar]

@MrPatrik17797 not gay , he is very very very very very very cool

[MrPatrik17797]

@MrPianoguitar His Music Awesome 

[Briancfb]

@MrPatrik17797 he is married,and his wife is very very very pretty!

[fcwy1]

@OscarZielke There's only 1 live and he records it to play the 2 parts together and the lead only is played at the end

[fcwy1]

Why is this on the solo guitar acoustic videos list if you can't perform it solo without recording and playing another track at the same time?

[OscarZielke]

@fcwy1 you can peform it solo, check out his live videos

[Xacutara147]

i feel relax when i hear this song

[SteveCotroneoComedy]

Song: Awesome.

Scarf: Considerably less awesome.

[crookedrain333]

@SteveCotroneoComedy Its what gives him his power. You'd wear one too if it made you awesome.

[DevoShreds]

@SteveCotroneoComedy that's just like.... your opinion man....

[pseudogenesis]

@SteveCotroneoComedy Are you kidding? That scarf is considerably fucking badass! :D

[DarkCrusade3]

@SteveCotroneoComedy He is homosexual. Just ignore the scarf and enjoy :P

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@DarkCrusade3 have you seen his wife!!??

[DarkCrusade3]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good Whatever, he still looks gay on all of his pictures which are spread throughout the internet.

[trense13]

@DarkCrusade3 he's not...and he's a very very cool person.....:)

[DarkCrusade3]

@trense13 Just my impression from his appearance.

[sr1129]

@DarkCrusade3 even if he is the dude is dope. Thats like being all, pshh Elton John is still gay lol. Thats the beauty in art isnt it? It transcends everything into one of the clearest forms of communication. Well....I would hope so any ways :)

[DarkCrusade3]

@sr1129 You absolutly drag my comment out of context and imply I said "Well, his music is cool, but I would not listen to him, because he is gay." which I certainly did not.

[rjfitz64]

They should change this song name because after I heard this, I had a very embarrassing Rapid Bowel Movement

[Kidnapper89]

it actually looks like he does it without any effort, stays pretty and everything, but I'm sure it's been YEARS of sweat, blood and tears to him

[SamIbanez351]

@Kidnapper89 Maybe not blood man.. haha if you play guitar and your fingers bleed, it's time to stop! If you don't, you're a fuc**** crazy hahaha

[Kidnapper89]

@SamIbanez351 of course not =D you just say "blood, sweat and tears" like u say "milk and honey" dont u?

And yeah, Zakk Wylde played with dissected finger, blood all over his gitar. Yeah!

[SamIbanez351]

@Kidnapper89 I'm french man I don't know all about english sorry ^^

And Yeah, Zakk Wylde is fuck**** crazy, but very good!!

[AndrificusMaximus]

This sounds SO much like "Garcia's Last Gig" by Greg Douglass

[oscar010695]

i really like this guy

[13mdark]

i will make this my morning alarm for better breakfast...

[guitarplayer354]

They make it look so easy!!! aghhh!!! love this song though !

[joohj1187]

cannot stop listening to this! literally has been on repeat the past 3 days.

[cinatit48]

@joohj1187 you and me both mate, this is talent at its best! love it!!!!

[Adeptmind]

@joohj1187 You have a repeat button!?!

[ssteiyne]

@joohj1187 lol I know what you mean, I'm hooked on this one too. I wish it were longer.

[niccsy8]

this takes my breath away.

[uruguay152]

Beautiful

[SignsOfYuquiyu]

This was beautiful and inspiring... like they say in the movies only applicable.

[GeneralMaximus4]

This is really really really special.

[vutrashin]

very nice

[WyomingWoodscolt]

Boss...

[umangatang]

too bad its not just a single track of guitar.. disappointed in that mainly.

[daVIdV93z]

epic chair

[patmaguire29]

What sort of monster gives this the thumbs down? Awesome!

[Icedmetal57]

@patmaguire29 I have this theory that youtube automatically thumbs down videos that have too many likes just to make things less perfect, which can be a bad thing apparently.

[kheartss]

Magic !



[pootubeftw]

fantastic song

[TomoTheGuitarMan]

Beautiful song

[MrButch53]

Just fantastic, keep em coming Jimmy

[trashtonporter]

Totally awesome Jimmy!



[AndyMcKeeFanForLife]

This vid doesn't get enough views. An amazing composition with killer hybrid picking. What more do you need? Do we need to throw some teenage chicks with big boobs and lots of beer in before it gets the views it deserves?

[meadish]

@AndyMcKeeFanForLife Check out Nick Cave's "Bring It On" video if you haven't seen it - he joked with exactly that concept. :)

[paulo78945612321]

ohhh nice!!

[mikeberryman27]

IS THIS DONE ON ONE GUITAR!?!?!?!?!?

[djentmadness]

@mikeberryman27 No its not, he's layered it. I think most (if not all) of the songs on this album are like that.

[mikeberryman27]

@djentmadness So when it says that you can buy guitar tabs would you get the main rift or like 2-3 guitar parts?

[djentmadness]

@mikeberryman27 Hmm i hadn't thought of that. I really don't know, but i would assume that they'd give you all of the guitar parts. This song only has 2 parts anyway, and the second one is just that high melody that comes in at 1:13 and 2:02 .

[happypeanut11]

@djentmadness i think its him and joel sahlin isn't it? theres a video of them playting it together

[djentmadness]

@happypeanut11 No Jimmy composed the whole thing, but for that performance Joel Sahlin composed a second melody, completely separate from the original, and it contained that high melody i was talking about because Jimmy couldn't play that and the rhythm at the same time. You cant hear the rest of Sahlin's harmony in the original.

[7944237]

@mikeberryman27 no.

[reggeaton3]

38 people are Hearing impaired

[slutbucketism]

@reggeaton3 even people with hearing impairments can hear this beauty. Ignorant is probably a better word.

[ericsnowsucks]

this guy is way too fashionable for a straight man...

[vutrashin]

oh my God!!! This is so beautiful!!!

[EthanHanus]

Whenever the lead comes in, it's just like....gahhh, this is better than sex!!!!

[packovic]

@EthanHanus you must've had some bad sex experience then

[LopeztheGypsy]

What is that piece over the sound hole?

[Araethorne]

@LopeztheGypsy a pickup, i believe that's what it's called.

[YSBCITTAR]

O.k these Candyrat artist are freaking me out, what is this, an alien invasion of talent from another world, where did they all come from you?

[CanadaGuy80]

I see some Tommy influence in Jimmy.

[SinbadDHock]

u wanna hear something funny??

THERE IS TABS !! HAHAHAHA !

those tabs are for legends

[Ramon1233]

@SinbadDHock You wanna hear something even more funny??

I have them :)

[SinbadDHock]

@Ramon1233 ok , let's hear ur covers :P , that was is realy funny :P:P

[Ramon1233]

@SinbadDHock Cover is already posted below this video as videomessage ;) Look for the one with my username ( duo version )

[SinbadDHock]

@Ramon1233 ok brother , i will see and comment :)

[RicardoBatistaPassos]

whats with the image of him reading a newyork times paper? or him taking a sip on a cofee? lol, nice song but bad taste on image ( as usual for wahsteen )

[ChaotixMachine]

@RicardoBatistaPassos What do you mean? The imagery in his videos isn't really meant to be about image, but rather tell a story. At least, that's what I see.

[Akosuaification]

I love I love I love!

[IvanTeslenko]

This will be called classic someday...

[TheMrXilef]

I'd love it way more without the drums, but still awesome

[OniSushi]

That last note sent shivers down my back, so appropriate and defined as an ending. The driven suprise in it wraps out a fast paced adventure through true prowess of dexterity; my mind is blown :|

[rawflepotato]

@OniSushi you should have stopped typing at "ending."

[DJchuffbucket]

@rawflepotato No, his dramatic message should have stopped at "That".

[Clevergamer]

This song is so full of life!

[joyojundil]

i love this sound

[TheInfamousMaximus]

What tuning do these guys play in (Andy Mckee, dufour etc)?

[Aelad99]

@TheInfamousMaximus It totally depends on the song. I don't think any of them have a set tuning, which is one of the reasons they are all so great. They can play a song in nearly any tuning and make it sound awesome.

[TheInfamousMaximus]

@Aelad99 Do you know like a general they use? The only one I know is drop C, and Dadgad

[ChasHolling]

@TheInfamousMaximus they use millions of different tunings, and I don't think there is a general "tuning" they use, aside from DADGAD of course.

[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

[FarhaSalem]

czaruje :]

[antoniojr48]

The best song ever!!!



[Ramon1233]

Tuning high to low: DBGDGD

Capo on3rd fret

[MrRonGuitar]

Wow... I don't know what to say. I've just been over whelmed by a symphony of amazing-ness...

[rodea89]

this song is SO beautiful.

[Le5Pau1]

That acoustic sounds insanely good!!

[samsonofdelos]

lets jam

[crowebroke]

Stunning - cheers Alex.

[wackojackocrazy]

What kind of guitar does he use?

[snookylover]

@wackojackocrazy

Better yet!! Is he playing in an altered guitar tuning? DADGAD maybe

[HandiAce]

@snookylover Open G I believe. DGDGBD.

[arson665]

@wackojackocrazy thats a larrivee L-05. the L body larrivee was the first steel string acoustic designed with fingerstyle playing at the fore front of its design. For almost 4 decades now it has proven a favorite in the studio , and also one of the most versatile instruments on the market. i love my L-05 'sputnik'

[Anim8edDeath]

alrighty i got the tab, but the whole picking WITH fingerpicking thing is near impossible for me....is it fine to just fingerpick with the thumb?

[BinkiewiczWSU]

@Anim8edDeath where did you get the tab from?

[RabidCookie]

@Anim8edDeath of course :) as long as you can get it down, but it is hard to up-pick with the thumb. music isn't necessarily about technical skills, if you can play beautifully in a very simple way, well that's just logical, not incapable.

[altairspiline]

meio bicha.. sei lá!! ! :P

[HarmPoy]

Awesome

[TechnicolorAurora]

if i logged in every time i watched this , this video would have a Googolplex views xD

[94fruitopia]

is that larrivee l 09 ?

[BibiAudiofil]

Amaying young artist !

Exquisite, as usual, at candyrat :)

Thank you for posting this,

Bibi

[TomoTheGuitarMan]

Love this song, I'm playing it at a gig tommorrow which I'll be recording on our camera, hopefully it will be decent enough quaility to put on youtube =)

[Anim8edDeath]

ok so what exactly does this guy do at :30 to :32? that lick sounds awesome!

[reaperofgenocide]

@Anim8edDeath Idk but im going to assume its a trill just a hammer on and pick off then he hits another note then the either 1 or 2 notes after he slides a note. Also i think when he slides on one of the notes he plays another string so they both are ringing.

[ODickensful]

Can someone awesome please write a tab for this?

[ichigogirl34]

how can people not like this song it so awesome i cant stop replaying it XP

[shadybrain3424]

the story of this video is 4 cups of coffee and a guitar, or what a guitarist needs to get shit done.

[hotelcasinos]

(100 trillion / 4 billion) / 12 = 2 083.33333 Nice song gets you thinking!!!

[Flash447]

wats the tuning?
