What has the face of James May, the hair of Richard Hammond, and dresses like Steve McQueen? No, it's not Osama Bin Laden, you dumbass. It's Steffen Shackinger!
Nice, however in few moments he stopped playing on the guitar and started playing with the guitar, which I don't like. Perfect Waves still preferred for overall melody. Still skills great.
I see all these guys tapping out melody, and playing with it on their lap, or, playing a whole song in haromonics, Hey, if you can do it I'm all for it and its very impressive, but I just so perfer the traditional style of playing, such as Schackinger.
He just had a mini-concert in Odense, Denmark - Which was really good, he also played some new songs with him singing. I'm not sure if it'll be uploaded anywhere though
It's funny, I'm not finding this performance all that impressive. It's not bad, but not "god like" some of you are stating. Just above average is probably a better term IMO.
@Carmine678 Heres where You dont get it man.. REAL pickers can just catch a grove or a feeling in a momunt and just let it fly out .. and thats how this stuff comes to be..ALOT of trigger time and sound basics.and either you feel it or you dont. Making music isnt hard at all..And I must know many dozens of pickers who can sit down and just play, and do it all night !! When you bust off on someone like that for telling it like it is, your lack of experience shows. LIGHTEN UP FRANCIS !!And Enjoi
@RoboRocker69 Go listen to him play City Lights. Then post a video of you playing that as cleanly as he does, and you will have room to talk about his godly ability :P
@sdwetwilly What does my playing have anything to do with this performance??? First off, I didn't say it sucked. I stated it wasn't as impressive as everyone is making it out to be is all. Second, I did say it was above average which says I do think it is a good performance...just not a mind blowing presentation. Have you not stated whether you thought a movie was good or great without having to first film a movie yourself? It's called an opinion jackass.
@RoboRocker69 It's funny how we can be like a Momma Bear defending her cubs. Listening to 'BB', I can understand your tepid response. I recommend 'City Lights' as a "convert tune". It provided my first exposure to Steffen and I became an instant Momma B. Virtuosic players can sound like a piano that's been dropped from a penthouse, coldly emitting any note or dynamic the instrument could ever produce. With 'CL', Steffen makes an art rather than an accident out of the same set of variables. : ]
loves the drum sound at 2:55 and following.... And - needless to say - the guitar playing is impeccable! Chapeau, Steffen! Thanx for the music and for posting it!
Just saw this guy live a few weeks ago.. he really is something special, i believe he was voted 15th best guitarist of all time last year...and from watching him him live i can tell you he is a great singer as well!!
500k views? how? ive watched it at least that many times myself!! everyone needs to get the word out for all candyrat musicians.. these guys are amazing. tell your friends and family.. any musician you know. click on "share" and post this on your fb or ms.. they deserve better. considering the views that the garbage gets on youtube.
THIS KILLS ME!!! Like every time I watch these vids of his music, I just can't help but notice how smooth he plays like though there isn't any effort involved. hah
@MrWasbored Muhahaha. That's a quote from a movie when Brad Pitt was told (by George Clooney). Hey, by the way, Ted Nugent wants his shirt back! Priceless!
Robert Englund, eat your heart out! My favorite part, (aside from the licks, naturally) is that goofy ass smirk he has on his mug! I love you Mr.Schackinger!!!
