  • I miss hearing this stuff on the radio.

  • 1:27 Best note ever. 

  • Freddy Kruger before the fire. Dude had CHOPS, too bad he killed all those children...

  • Steffen, jeg elsker dig, you know it :) savner dig :(

  • But can he play the blues - can he feel the blues. Hmm extraordinary thoug.

    Know him from his time in Merzy - reform that band.

  • You made me Headbang.

  • where his hat and glove?

  • 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!

  • Dans la catégorie "je sais tout faire à la guitare"

  • A nightmare in Vai and Satrianis dreams (Cruger look) . Moove out of the way lads, new guys in town.

  • Cool tune I like that . :)

  • Legend...wait for it....DARY!

  • 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.

  • Man,,, damn it.

  • WORD !! WORD !! WORD !! AWESOME

  • Whoaaaaw !!!!

    A great Genius!

  • Jake Cinninger much?

  • I'm sick of this trailer before every single video omg

  • freddy cruger witha guitar!! WoW nightmare i think not

  • @displeeco damn you stole my joke, except i was gonna have wheres wally and dennis the menace aswell.

  • 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.

  • this guy could give eddie van halen a run for his money

  • 0:30 WORD!

  • 0:30 WORD!

  • 2:23-2:29 !

  • what kind of distortion pedals does he use?????

  • @vukdim Not sure, I know the amp is a Hiwatt Bulldog and a lot of the tone is coming from that

  • thumbs up if you think that's a perfect distortion

  • @jfbiggestfan Thumbs up if you have seen his pedal board. It's in a keyboard case!

  • @filipdinev1

    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

  • Kinda like Steve Vai & Tony McAlpine? Pretty awesome!

  • ...to the song x and y : Can someone bomb the GEMA in Germany. They su**s!!! :-(

  • Holy crap i didnt know Freddy Krueger played guitar before he got burnt O_o

  • am i the only one that got to think about the old playstation game ( bloody roar )

    =D

  • When will we see Steffen playing live with an actual band? I'd love to see that. :)

  • terrible mistake at 04:37!

  • Comment removed

  • He is definitely channeling Jimmy Page (which creates a bit of a problem, since JP is still here...)

  • @mrbillbenson I don't hear Jimmy Page in there at all. Plus, Steffen isn't muffing notes left and right like Jimmy did

  • iuouojagojvmpod,p]wbkrkepomnpo­e,mpok,hb

    Sorry Just Blackedout and hit my head on the keyboard from Hearing pure awsomeness

  • Richard Hammond

  • why they keep saying, steve vai, joe satriani, this guy is blessed by god to play guitar, hes teh best... well done

  • @sonetomusic Actually he worked very hard and practiced to be able to play the guitar well

  • Amazing composition!! Hats of to him!!

  • he needs to do a video of his song twister. id love to see what kind of improvising he would do with that

  • If Freddy thinks he can touch this guy he's just DREAMIN

  • freddy hammond "-)

  • Freddy Kruger's gonna be pissed when he finds out his sweater is missing.

  • @KenMacMillan ROFL, that's exactly what I thought when I saw the thumbnail. :-)

  • shit

    

  • @TheAphexuk Fool

  • Putain, l'enculé. (Respectueusement)

  • super very nice rhymique!!

  • nice sweater I have seen it somewhere :)

  • wow!!!

    

  • most classical harmony

  • I have this song, its great

  • freddie k shirt =)

  • 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.

  • @RoboRocker69 Its easy to play music created by others. Try making a song like this by yourself.

  • @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. : ]

  • krueger without claws and mask but with a deadly guitar and deadly tunes

  • The fact this guy is getting this tone from a hollow body is blowing my mind. Haha.

  • Coool!

    

  • Coool!

  • Yeah, this rocks. Very cool.

  • Just found me some new driving music. And with that, I think i'll drive to seattle or something (from DC)

  • You had me at "geebayeayeebawbeebeeayebeayel­ololanbeeayelolol" <3

  • EPIC WIN

  • Some knives from his fingers and hat and hes Freddy

  • for some reason he reminds me of steve morse, in the first part

  • for some reason this reminds me of steve morse

  • FUCK YOU ROCK

  • great!!!!

    

  • whats with the fucking krueger sweater?

  • I remember watching this video when it had about 20K vieuws, great to see him get so much attention and appreciation.

  • @BacktrackingKJ

    most of those views are from me rewatching this video every 10 seconds!

  • When we were all out playing with friends and chasing girls, he was practicing in his room alone every day for years. Now it's his time to play...

  • How many sons does Mr Petrucci (father) have?...

  • 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!

  • Oh okay... That's what we call feeling... Fucking amazing.

  • u remind me Steve Morse...and u r were great dude

  • I wonder where Waldo is?

  • freddy krueger playing some guitar. Just kidding. amazing guitarist. good skills. good songs.

  • 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.

  • Click on me to hear original music thanks.

  • I'd smile all the fucking time too if i could play like that. This is ridiculous.

  • Jesus christ! I just found you...December 18th 2010! Awesome!!

  • yes he's sure in the top end, and a damn good inspiraton to oher guitarists ;o)))

  • 15' best.. i would say THE BEST!

  • Looks like he`s wearing a shirt from Hogwarts school of magic, he sure plays with magic in his fingers!!!!

  • 1. Hit CandyRat for CD

    2. Place CD in vehicle

    3. Install wipers on inside of windshield

    4. Scotchguard seats.

  • This must be good cause every time I listen to it I get the stupidest smile on my face! WELL DONE STEFFEN!!!

  • @TheRockinPajamas otherwise you look like a whore.

  • Freddy Kreugar is a shredder and slasher...?

  • his shirt reminds me of freddy cougar shirt

  • I don`t think its a krugger shirt, i think its from the Hogwarts school of magic, he sure plays with magic in his fingers!!!!

  • I've watched 5 of this guy's videos in a row, and the verdict is that he flat out owns 90% of the fretboard wanking shredders on youtube.

  • @berserker213 AGREED!

  • wow one of the best and humble guitarist i have ever seen jajaja....nice guitar

  • Pretty good!

  • Great playing and fantastic sound - I never heard things like these from an ES guitar.

  • DENMARK FTW!!!! :D

  • Nice! And one of my favourite guitars the Gibson ES335 ....

  • thumbs up if you like his sweet freddy crouger shirt!

  • 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

  • Damn this guy is good!

  • Freddy called, he wants his sweater back.

  • @MrWasbored  *ROFLMAO* :) :) :)

  • @MrWasbored if i had to guess id say that this is probably what Freddy dreams of.

  • @dragonkid521 Ba-zing.

  • @MrWasbored That's funny!

  • @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!

  • @BarbershopTenor Believe me, this kind of joke is way older than the ocean's movies :)

  • this song sounds Satriani as hell, which is cool because he also has songs that sound like Eric Johnson.

  • 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!!!

  • WHOW - Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and perhaps Eddie Van Halen have gotten a new competitor *SSS* :)

  • this one was better than the recorded version XD

  • :D.
