Shred of Hendrix and Yngwie on TV

[jbankens5150]

Just because someone has the ability to play fast means that him/her are not putting emotion into it? Fuck that bullshit. There is more to music than blues. This guy has tone, taste, feel, vibrato, and emotion. Good work, man!

[ZakkHendrix666]

What scale is being used from 2:10 - 2:30? please answer!!

[sunnyjim98]

@ZakkHendrix666 its Yngwie Malmsteen so it is likely either A harmonic minor, or phrygian dominant or something! im not good with scales lol!

but the song played there is called "Trilogy Suite Op.5" ;)

[1bol1]

@ZakkHendrix666 phrygian dominant in F#

[DONDIVA1969]

Sweet

[maisiecify]

Honestly, No bullshit. Sean Clancy is my favorite guitarist,I really wish he was more mainstream,just for the simple fact that i can listen to more pieces by him.Shredding in a kilt& shredding in the suit i would have givin you 150.

[Nevigo]

Love the hair :/

[mateyko555]

Sean, this is JAW DROPPING. Thx for today.

[TheSlevaslava]

over the top clique of hendrix's work

[Freddie88]

Great score man! You deserved it!

[TheHornet79]

Captured Yngwie

[holin1man]

holy crap you are rad

[ALBERTromano1965]

Very good sean!

[BrasilGuitar]

Great!!!

Do u remeber the gear used (amp, pedal, ..)?

[TokaCola]

ok now do something original then I'll be impressed

[Flakevee]

this dude is amazing .

[whatshendrix]

Is this a joke?

[ingareinar007]

@whatshendrix It must be man! Anyway, sooo many has tried to play Hendrix, but no one can, and will never do! Many can maybe get "some of the technique" in a way, but Hendrix emotions is something essential no one has.. It is like paint like Van Gogh or something. The guy in the video here, has some tech, but emotions and deeper stuff lacks..

[buttsyman420]

holy shit, nuff said

[thekingyugioh1]

fuck !

[XxZero117xX]

he really is yngwie OMG HE LOOKS SO DIFFERENT!!!

[paultheguitarlegend]

[guillermometal]

[OneZeroZero101]

[jjtop3650]

[Balddi7]

Yngwie is a poser, but he's good.

[rockhammer666]

[Do0dMaN4K]

[highsociey]

[Leonard5555]

[jkgatling]

[marcelb666]

how the fuck do you play with your teeth i've seen jimmy do it now this guy geesh

[flksgoloco4stevo]

god damn.................. amazing

[thezorba1]

Fuck Yeah!!!!!!

[seanclancyguitar]

Well, I agree - It was my first television performance and I was a little bit nervous about it - the director told me in the auditions to use a suit - oh and the grimaces - they just happen :) Since then I've been in a jazz degree and now I live and play in Poland

[jur0slaw]

Wow, in what city do you live?

[csk6767]

@seanclancyguitar You did great, you made purple haze sound even more insane :)

i`ve been looking at all your vids now... and im Impressed like hell :D

these vids are great... no... not great... they are extremely great :)

[TUOKOOBNOSAJ]

@seanclancyguitar I wish you could teach me some things on guitar man. If you only knew the feelings I can produce through it but am lacking actual technical skill because I play by ear and soul. You Are Awesome!!!!!

[notsaras]

i suppose the 12 of them was practising with teeth..cause his technique isnt as good as it should..i think this kind of music does not fit to a dude like him.he has ideas but he is a little bit stiff when he is playing.he needs more groove and self esteem.man you dont really have to imitate malmsteen's grimaces and performance.develop your own style!the costume is cool and stylish.:P anyway,good job.

[wolfgang911]

yeah right go play yourself in front of an audience of TV playing all yngwies arpegios perfectly live and then see if Your technique is as good as it should before giving advice.

this sean was giving a show and did it perfectly. very good job sean!

[MannyIsARoxStar]

i think the dude has skill ... thats for sure.. hes dedicated at 13 hours a day .. how could he not be talented. .. but whats with the suit ? .. and long hair .. those dont match .. lol .. and whats with the orchestra, is that to cover his playing ?. jimi and malmsteen only needed a drummer, and a bass. not a fucking orchestra <.<...

[jswin334]

Did you win?!

[1enzeder]

I remember that show, I think he did win.

[matthewcross]

wow!! you're a great player, surprised I've never heard of you before. 5 stars!

[Sasuke725]

your really devoted in playing the guitar

Awesome

I wish I could be like that one day

[ksefreak]

such technique...your a madman

[AlliumEpa]

3:37

[Scarletbanned]

lol hes like the perfect version of all times guitarists

[JadeReese95]

PSSSHHH. I could do that.

JK

That was amazing

HE WAS PICKING WITH HIS TEETH!?!?!?!?!?!

Nice moves

[JeffreySeagle]

Insane stuff right there my friends!

[oneschilling]

A suit?!? WTF

Great skills though

[Scarletbanned]

that was some insane moves he did there bro!

[omgdididothat2u]

whats the name of that malmsteen piece he plays at first?

[theodorehuxtable]

Trilogy Suite OP-5

[lynyrdskynyrd329]

Is that an eric johnson strat?

[kirkwanglers32]

Guys good

[VolcomStoned04]

I liked that man, good job!

[NeoBarockLoki]

Pretty nice. But one question : in which country is this musical 'show your knowledge' stuff ? Cuz I think this is a good idea. Most of the countries has musical karaoke for voice, but not for instrument...

[Ataraxian13]

What a dude.

Glad he got some good scores.

[jay2rocks]

buddy you know nothing about music untill you realize it is all based on opinion

ok there is no best and there never will be because different players all like different styles and sounds

why are people always saying they know whos better

fucking retard

[cinnam0nm0n1551]

3:18 was beast lmao

[axelddiablo]

UH....

I thinks its more about how many people they inspired a new way of guitar playing unlike some of our "newer" bands

[aluacrd109]

great great

[dertel1]

And yes, I think Sean Clancy is amazing!

[dertel1]

Here's what it comes down to...Chuck Berry invented rock guitar. Hendrix reinvented it. The last player to reinvent rock guitar was Edward Van Halen.

Anyone who has ever gone beyond the innovators (as many have, including myself and many of you on this page, I'll bet) has only stood on the shoulders of the giants who came before us. We owe them an incredible amount of gratitude

[MezzPaul]

I think Sean Clancy is the best guitarist ever...

[NDGOATESP]

If ur even comparing hendrix - already established and known as the greatest. He revolutionized music in his day.

[grga888]

Jimi Hendrix is the best guitar player ever!

Anybody who really doesn't honestly think that way, is an moron that knows nothing about music, guitar playing and especially, about Jimi Hendrix, who he was, what he did and what he made! Hendrix rules, and is #1 of all times, with no argument and no question about it at all!

[triviummusician]

ok, can you tell me why he was, and is number 1 with actual firm evidence with examples from his songs, please esplain because i honestly dont think you know anything about music at all either

[Visualundeath]

The fact you think there is "Firm evidence" to support opinion makes me think you know nothing.

[triviummusician]

when people start to treat opinion as common knowledge and fact, like every single person on jimi hendrix videos and stuff, then i want to at least know why they think he's the best, in order to prove he's the best, they have to compare him to others with firm evidence...

[Visualundeath]

At this point, i don't even know if you've ever even heard a Jimi Hendrix song.

[triviummusician]

they sound like ass in my opinion

[Visualundeath]

Oh dear...

[GDxRock]

I don't even know what to say to that, except FUCK YOU.

[AnatomiaUSAL]

Blah blah blah... there are hundreds of better guitar players now a days. Saying that Hendrix is the best guitar player of all time, just because i was the best of his time, is like saying the beatles are better band than dream theater or symphony x, just because they were good back then.

About calling other people moron just because they think different from you,. that pretty much shows everyone here how much your opinion is worth (nothing, in case you don't get it, stupid).

[triviummusician]

jimi hendrix is so over rated

[Darkulla]

remember how good jimi were at his time, and listen to how many just took his style and developed it further.. e.g Kirk Hammett and Malmsteens blues solos.

[triviummusician]

i still dont think he was the best guitarist ever... there are so many better ones, i dont care if he was innovator, theres lots of innovators that were better than him...

[etuate]

I heard trivium lick each other's nuts.

[Visualundeath]

Its not like someone who likes trivium could even comprehend the blues.

[Mike3303]

It's very ironic that you say that with a band like Trivium in your name, whose guitarists are pathetic.

[Metalpaved]

matt heffy is great

[Deanosius]

Shit dude, I saw this show years ago and said to myself, I wish I could play like that. Nice to see another good NZ guitarist.

[mallamoozoo]

And how is 13 hours possible - my fingers feel like there's glass stuck in them after 2?

[seanclancyguitar]

Always warm up i reckon...

I still practice a lot...

[DassitBoy]

are you that famous? wow!

are your guitars scalloped?

[mallamoozoo]

Man that guitar throw at 3.10 was very very brave - if it got stuck on the back it would have stuffed the whole scene - like an ice-skater face-planting after a jump! Must have taken 13 hours a day practicng just for this stunt!

[tezzquill]

haha...not once did his fingers leave his hand...

[Coogg1376]

Hendrix, is less then, everyone else!

[seanclancyguitar]

Hey guys... This is from the guy in the video... I recently launched a cool sight-reading tool called Guitar Freak Workstation with SightReader Master. There's some clips on it and you may want to check it out. Do a search for prolevelguitar and you'll find it. It's the only software out there for guitar and bass to teach sightreading! Cheers, Sean

[Tsinj]

Those people judging him are the coolest fuckers I have ever seen

[taylorlloyd]

hard on that was too funny

[barefootinthewoods]

Nice MAB overhand fretting!

Even nicer 400 year-old purple Tux jacket on the presenter. The 70's never died in NZ.

[limpotech]

BULLSHIT!!! that should of been 5o,50 and 50!!!! great stuff, i've watched this 100000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000 times. never gets old!

[denverfan109]

did you break a string in your mouth while playing with the tongue? Jk That was freaking sweet

[Bluestexano]

Which song of malmsteen is it????

[seanclancyguitar]

It's a section of Trilogy Opus 5. I just auditioned for the show for a laugh as my sister went to audition. I had to chuck something together in less than a week so I did this!

[natapitapeta]

trilogy suit from trilogy album

[MusicMotivator]

How cool is that with the live strings! Did you have to give them charts?

Great, great playing man!

[seanclancyguitar]

Actually the "orchestra" was prerecorded - the only thing live is me!

[Ozznize]

hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah­a thanks for the laughs

[JRoque250]

Unreal playing. I understand now why your fretboard is all worn out 8-)

I would cut the dorks on that program. They gave you 47? On a scale from 1 to 10, I hope.

It'd be great if you can post your own recorded stuff so you get better audio. That makes a world of a difference. Think of YouTube as your resume. Someone with a contract might be watching.

JR

[ThomRogers]

when was this??

[padrecicero]

sorry, I don't know

[VeniceKing1]

Nice playing.

[MutantCyborgClone]

It was a good act, put two great songs together and did some cool stage moves on top of it. When your playing live, its showbusiness and you gotta do what looks great. It looked awesome. Dropping the guitar down in one hand while playing it is sooo cool

[Occin6]

wow holy shit that was amazing

[IdrauSaha]

"...and not once did his fingers leave his hands." (dumb comment)

[JKT84]

"I don't think I've been so excited in such a long time"

he says with a straight face and no emotion whatsoever.

[doomer79]

Incredible playing!!! Thank You for posting!

[himsadeath]

alright your good at guitar, but do you have to be such a dick about it ?

yngwie is so modest onstage, he doesnt showboat like you do, you act as though your doing something insane that nobody has ever done, you just need to chillax, with trying to impress everyone with stage moves, you shouldnt need to if your really that good

[seanclancyguitar]

Um...

Yngwie modest? I didn't think it was showboating - and remember the bottom line is entertainment. Who wants to watch something as interesting as paint drying?

[doomer79]

I wouldn't say Yngwie is "modest" on stage. I love his showmanship though. And btw, why does everyone have such a problem spelling the word "you're"? You spelled it wrong twice.

[CarlosCepinha]

on the tv you were expecting him to still sit on a chair lokin at the fingerboard all time, doin like classical musicians do? vry quiet cuz of the song interpertation close to original whatever... on Tv you gotta show off, do crazy stuff, or the ppl wont care for what you play...

is not his fault most of the ppl are so stupid that doesnt listen music, they see music...

[nubcakken01]

i'm still laughing over here. i can't believe someone actually mentioned "modest" and "yngwie" in the same sentence. hahahahahaha. i hope you weren't serious bro.

and for the love of god, stop pulling out hendrix's corpse and making it dance around for your own profit/enjoyment.

[WCuneo]

Yngwie MODEST?

The guy thinks he's a freaking Demigod.

[awesomejohnnet]

Good luck Shaun you sound wonderful

[petreamurg]

great!!! cool sound!!! rock on!!!

[Skodster]

Awesome performance! Good showmanship without the attitude of certain other performers......best of luck mate!!!

[PurplePath]

Nice and fast playing indeed, muuuch way better that my playing :) BUT, where´s soul of music? That seems be just well learned tricks. Like midgeteyehigh said, "so much talent thats going to waste doing soemthing that has been done over and over", i agree that.

But, keep on rockin´! :)

[SousukePanic]

whats that thing at 3:23 where ur hands flip called

[Mike3303]

That's a Michael Angelo Batio move. It's called the "MAB Over-Under Technique."

[Ozznize]

be honest do you really think that Michael "TeH GoD" Batio invented everything on guitar? no he didnt invent anything

[seanclancyguitar]

Actually, I did get that off Michael Angelo... He's a nice guy, I got to have lunch with him one day in Wellington!

[fnda68]

fukin orsome man big ups for the kiwi gitarist

[Kapernakus07]

I hate critics, the most useless people on the planet, who comment on things they cant do themsleves. brilliant stuff!!!

[DarkkShaddow]

that thing you did at the end was Fucking 1337

[pastorkev777]

You are very godd definatly better shreder but im not much of a shredder focused guitarist but am a exsperimental on combining all music but i practice every kind of music. The more influence you the more you can make you come out on guitar your soul make that song tell your my story! god bless

[beudl]

he is great!!!

[hammerman1]

hmm... Very impressive, Probaly the best NZ guitarst I have ever seen. Well done. Im from Wellington myself. I am very interseted in shred guitar, but more of a vocalist and drummer. Wouldnt mind talking to you futher on the topic of music.

Hail.

[midgeteyehigh]

are you serious? Sure he can play his geetar. But he's on a euro version of idol! What a loser. The world is full of shredders with no soul. 30 years later and he's still copying hendrix/ Hell, EVH pretty much wrapped that up in 78. That's why Malmsteen was such a bore. Give me some substance. Even more give me something original.ZZZZzzzzz

[seanclancyguitar]

Why does that make me a loser? I went to the auditions for a laugh and found myself on national television... FYI, I also play jazz and am doing a degree in that. What happened to you to make you so bitter?

[midgeteyehigh]

notI apologize for the loser remark. That was way out of line. It's just dissapoints me that you have so much talent thats going to waste doing soemthing that has been done over and over. I have been playing since i was 11. I would have thought you were a God had I heard you in 84 even. It takes talent to do what your doing, Just not much imagination. Keep doind what your doing man if makes you happy. Again, sorry for the loser comment. You're obviously not a loser.

cheers!

[WigglyMalmsteam]

It's a matter of taste you dumb shit. People still enjoy this kind of music now. What are you saying, get with the times? Ok you listen to each new trend and we will stick to timeless music.

[VS120sfan]

great playing!

[RoccoMATION]

what a godly ending!!!!

[yohendrix]

nice playing dude!

[seanclancyguitar]

Yeah -- for this video - but I am doing a jazz degree as we speak! This is only one side of my playing :)

[yohendrix]

bit of a Malmsteen rip off! you copied alot of his moves and licks!

[ktayor1]

post a video of yourself, so we can see how good your are. I bet your shit!

[yohendrix]

fuck you, stupid twat! i didnt say i was better, i was just sayin that he copied. actually read the comment before you reply. Fuckin' Cunt!

[ktayor1]

haha loser, get all shitty about a comment you stupid turd, stop being a critic if you cant even fucking play, fuck wad loser! HaHa

[yohendrix]

i can play, can you?

[ktayor1]

[StanleyKu]

Awesome vibrato, sound and fluidity! Great performance of Trilogy-suite!

[ruasnig]

ohhhhhh man when you try to play a song from hendrix , lern to play t play a guitarrrrrrr . THIS IS FUCKING SHIT

[ktayor1]

[dzrice]

Ha! You rock!!

[xRisingForcex]

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

[lotr589]

Its not about the speed. Its the phrasing. and the tone.

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]
