Jimmy Wahlsteen - Suffice to Say - www.candyrat.com

[MrMatan22]

it sounds like "more than words" O.O

[mathieualexis]

addic

[lukethespook7]

fingerstyle is more than a way to play guitar, its one form to touch in the surface of the water and vibrate that waves in sound... ;]

[acousticx77mythil]

@lukethespook7 hye fellas is there no live version of this song where we can see him play

atleast we should see what he actually does :D

[SilkTopHat]

The effects on the chorus sound an awful lot like those that Steven Wilson uses.

[spacecowboy5150]

anyone know the tuning, and if theres a capo?

[Aleenagibson]

Jimmy you are a true aesthete.......

[ways1234]

sweet,passionate art.

All grace n all beauty.

[mbunplugged]

Do you have any plans to play in U.S.?

[MrButch53]

Another piece of brilliant music. I could watch you play that guitar all day. Thanks for that.

[Scalpweb]

His music is sooo perfect...

[sakebutor1]

Did you know by the way, (to end all this homophobic conversation)

The Swedes have a very low masculinity culture, meaning the equality between men and women exists there for real. I think that's a really great thing to have.

Just based on a study by Geert Hofstede and figures. I really don't know the culture all that well, since I've been to Stockholm only for a week.

[Taktarsri]

He also has a girlfriend, but I didn't know that about Sweden, that's really interesting

[MrGameposter]

You, sir, speak the truth. Go equality.

No every stfu and listen to the music.

[demolaharl]

lol shut up and listen to the music xD

[itti1977]

U too

lol so harder.

[MelleB90]

Folks, don't downrate comments because they don't resemble your opinion.

An opinion is always subjective opinion of one person, who cares if someone else doesn't really like it, let them talk too. :)

Peace

[RabidCookie]

how stupid are you? Other comments not resembling your opinion is the exact point to downrating. Same as if you AGREE and give it a good rating even though it might be an ignorant and narrowminded insight.

How sad somebody gave you a thumbs down do you need your blankie?

[MelleB90]

No, it isn´t.

A "good" comment is a reasonable on-topic reaction to the video, regardless of the opinion. A "bad" comment is trolling, swearing, claims without evidence or saying 2012 will be the apocalypse.

Let me spell it out for you.

Good comment:

"Great quality, but I really don't like this kind of music"

Bad comment:

"WTF DIS GUY IS GAY FUCK U AN UR MOTHER SLIPKNOT RULZ"

Do you know what "downrating" other opinions in real life is called?

Not really in your place to call others stupid

[RabidCookie]

What part of this are you not getting? Personal opinion is the only thing dictating whether or not somebody clicks thumbs up instead of thumbs down. If they don't agree with you, they have every right to give you a thumbs down.

It's about as much my place to call others stupid, as it is for you to try and control the way people rate comments.

If, however, you are referring to rating the video, well then there are stars for that. Ringing a bell?

[RabidCookie]

Just because somebody gave your comment a bad rating doesn't mean they're Belittling you (or downrating if you would prefer)

You seem intelligent enough, but you just don't seem to grasp the concept of freedom of choice and will. For example.

how many videos are out there where the topic quickly turns from music to religion? Ignorant, probably, annnoying, yes. But the bottom line is that people are shallow and callous, and not agreeing with their opinion is EXACTLY why they downrate.

[MelleB90]

I couldn't care less about getting downrated, I do think it's strange to "remove" someone's comment it doesn't match your ideas.

My point is that there is a difference between good comments and comments that match your opinion.

Funny you should say that, because "not letting the other guy talk" could be seen as "violation of freedom of speech". I know that sounds extreme, but do freedom of choice and will outweigh freedom of speech?

I'm not forcing people to change their behavior, just my 2cs

[DannyDeathboy]

I seriously agree with you.

I don't know what everyone else's problem is.

Some people on youtube can be quite ignorant.

[HikoruTheBrokenBlade]

Unfortunately music is becoming nothing more than a mere fad. Or what those brainless zombies call music. I will have to agree with the previous users who've posted on this thread. Real music is becoming difficult to come by now-a-days. It seems being hip with the crowd is more important than expressing what one is endorsed by their own souls to express, rather than these senseless, taste-less ear bleeders of the that are out now. Luckily we have Candy rat.

[spongestu]

Amen!!!!! Candy Rat FTW

[MelleB90]

Yeah, I always say music is about how it looks nowadays, while it should be about how it sounds.

Candyrat is like a beacon of awesome in a sea of jonas brothery shit.

[Ramon1233]

@HikoruTheBrokenBlade Hell Yes!

[mikegurnham]

@HikoruTheBrokenBlade you said it right! Artists like Jimmy Wahlsteen should be more popular, but its probably not going to happen. But, as long as he makes his music and enjoys doing it, and we enjoy listening to it, thats all that really matters!

[dylphilolife]

@mikegurnham HikoruTheBrokenBlade's comment really implies that if his music were more popular, it would be a fad (which s/he gives a negative connotation). I think this illustrates a false dichotomy between music being popular, and music being good. It really can be both (Radiohead = popular, trendy, and good)

[ledzeppelin7510]

@HikoruTheBrokenBlade i have to say that as much truth there is to shitty sold-out bands being a dime a dozen, the number of good artists has really increased in recent years (the percentage has gone down though). but yeah, candyrat filters the good artists for the best

[dylphilolife]

@HikoruTheBrokenBlade Though culture is shaped by music and vice versa, the claim that some music is not really music (taste-less ear bleeders) seems to imply a correct or justified standard by which one could say, "this is not music, but rather a fad." I would challenge one to find such a universal standard. Until then, I find it difficult to accept that "some music is an expression of the soul (since apparently it has to be) and other "music" is total crap.

[jdizzle3600]

@HikoruTheBrokenBlade i agree. i try to make my own stuff. sites like jamstudios help young artists like me create new music.

[m0rl0rd]

@HikoruTheBrokenBlade I agree that this is a beautiful song, but I always find it interesting that there are lovers of certain genres that will say that about other types of music for different reasons. For instance, there are people who feel that way about this song. Who's to say they're any more wrong or right than you? Every song is real, and every song has SOME meaning behind it. I'm a classical music fan myself, and it's tough not to be critical of "today's music", but I try to understand.

[crinosnocturne]

@m0rl0rd i try to understand todat's music as well. but what meaning could be hiding be hind songs like "Peacock" or "Like a boss"? you gotta agree it's gettint more and more difficult to do that ):

[andristic]

@HikoruTheBrokenBlade Cool story bro

[bohmaniac]

The cover is, to put it nicely, not quite so manly.. ^^

[garydupuis]

So? What the fuck does that have to do with ANYTHING?? Are we homophobic?

[bohmaniac]

I don't know what the ambient kind of guitarish sound is but I don't really enjoy it. Otherwise it was great =)

[MartaineJr]

not exciting.

[pressuredcontents]

holy... shit. lol when the second guitar came in, DAMN. candyrat never ceases to amaze me with the talent they find.

[derwrisi]

yah .. it's such a shame that REAL music is buried in oblivion bit by bit ..

all these kids, trying to be like mileys cyrus and what else .. all blinded by these fancy-schmancy world broads..

I mean .. lately I was searching for something on youtube and I just typed an "L" and the first auto-complete proposal was "lady gaga"

what happened to good old man made music.. ?

[andristic]

it's all on candyrat now

[spamodell]

What are you talking about? Everyone knows that music sucks unless it's made by almost naked women.

Musicality and creativity is secondary to tits in music... everyone knows that.

Sarcasm aside I agree and I want to see more of this on music channels and less lady gaga and reality shows

[duffluv]

@derwrisi You need to hear what lady gaga was like before she bowed down to the "pop" industry. She was -in my opinion_ a brilliant artist.

Now she is nothing more than a slowly burning shit lamp.

[MihaZ]

All these news guitarists are all good, but where are Mckee, Ross and Dufour? Don't they have new songs they could share? I want them!!

[wilczu]

Amen to that!

[alguira]

there's a new Don Ross CD! check it out at candyrat or Spotify. He went singing! ^^

[MihaZ]

Wow really? Thanks for the info!!

[fyzikfyzik]

Ross already has a new album (about 2 months new), Dufour recorded an album as host with Sébastien Cloutier and Mckee is on tour in Portugal, EU, so he's too busy to compose..

[SlapTheTurtle]

why cant they make another andy mckee vid????????

hes awesome

[rapidfire21]

I just bought his album. At $11AU, it was not only a bargain, but supporting great musicians.

more and more of my money seems to go to candyrat these days...

[HendrixCikes]

It's time for the music industry to give credit where credit is due. I'm growing quite tired of Avril Lavigne, 50 cent, Kanye West and a million other talentless dumbasses gettin rich...

[fyzikfyzik]

I think that this situation is good. Candyrat earns certainly lot of money to ensure everything to make good music, but nothing more.

And thats fine - Avril is pretty talented, but she sings to earn money, not to express herself.Commerciality leads to imperfection.

[andristic]

it's not the industry, it's the consumer. you have to demand quality to get it

[HendrixCikes]

well, I can't argue with that. Have you seen YouTube's most viewed videos of all time list lately? Hint: Avril Lavigne, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Miley Cyrus...

[puzzledwls]

not spectacular at first, but must listen again ... and again ... and again :-)

[sairro]

reminds me to masaaki kishibe ... beautiful

[chaoticblue123]

Oh true that! I almost forgot about Masaaki Kishibe. Guess it's time to dig out his tab book and start playing his songs again XD.

[zathura345]

Lol, that comment made me laugh Muffin x)

[muffinmedschredder]

Hate to judge him before the music, but he looks like one of te hugest flamers *gay person* that I've ever seen, that said, he's a damn good Guitarist.

[MelleB90]

Yeah, but what does that matter.

His sexual orientation has nothing to do with anything that's not sex. It's a shame people throw that in with any other quality or lack thereof someone has.

That said, awesome song.

[MartaineJr]

well... i don't see anything special here.

it's cute and easy to listen to, but nothing overwhelming. i still think rapid eyes movement is his best piece .

[frollotollo41]

this is amazing!! love it!

[joewattguitarist]

I gave it five i think the use of the string tap on to the last fret with such rhythmic consistancy is pretty impressive. This guys still not as good as andy mckee or vicki genfan. But i like his songs. They'd sound good if played with a female vocalist.

[alcaeus]

I really like Andy Mckee but can never get into Vicki Genfan. I think he is much better than she is.

[chaoticblue123]

I dunno, the styles seem to be too different to really compare who's better. I actually kind of like Jimmy's songs more than Vicki's. I think it's really more about personal taste rather than who is better.

[kim0loves0chickfila]

This deserves 5 stars!!

Not 4 and a half

xD

[siddheshpm]

It's nice..=)

I wish there was a video of the recording session like all the other videos..

[aboynamedchris]

Yeah i can hear Angelina in there somewhere

[chaoticblue123]

Ah someone beat me to it.

[adaltrov]

grandiosa cancion =)

[theobesekid]

beautiful.

[Stormkill]

Very nice, it reminds me Angelina By T.Emmanuel, same kind of feeling =)

[Tarasepp]

Ya i hear it too, Such a powerful song. one of my fav's. this guy is really good. great compositions.

[0CityLights0]

Really good stuff!

[juuustinnn]

It kinds of reminds of Angelina by Tommy Emmanuel. Both beautiful songs. (:

[juuustinnn]

This is so soothing. (:

[GadgetAddicted]

hmm....guitar tuning anyone???

[Ramon1233]

Beautiful as allways Jimmy :)

[Samuelsoon97]

please just let us watch the guy play. It adds so much.

[Thorreth]

Awesome stuff.

[luchope1]

soy el quinto
