[JLEOLEGACY]

Really enjoyed your playing, thanks for sharing.

[danlynclark]

Wow! That was awesome and VERY strange.......

[Minecr4ftEvolved]

65 People are jealous of the size of his "stick"

[indrajem7vwh]

Awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MaQuGo119]

You can use your cello like a bass?

[kudlow39]

Kick Ass, Dude....

[AuroraTR3A]

you are the single coolest person i've have ever heard of............playin that cello like a boss!

[FranciscaSatch]

wonderful job :)

[IAMCORNDOG123456]

GOOD GOOGILLY MOOGILLY!!! GREAT PLAYING! These people who are saying horrible tone and all that crap, lets see them do anything HALF as good as what you do! Plus I think they don't understand the differences between stringed instruments without frets and those that do.

[C861986]

Seth Rogen rocks!

[buisyman]

Dude, that's so cool

[skillzdatkillz900]

your cello looks like a strung boner lol

[todeath42]

@skillzdatkillz900 and his face while he plays has my convinced that it may be...

[watson1neil]

Awesome man

[bobcob34]

Quality!

[emcitement]

good playing, horrible tone.

Is that an MG in the back? I assume it's one of the solid state marshalls - all of which are terrible. The Marshall MG considered the worst amp of all time.

get a decent amp for distortion or just use the natural cello sound.

[MrFreakHeavy]

Oh geeze, I just realize how pathetics my life is compared to this dude D:

[ivan89705]

It has stagy sense

[drb1976]

Tremendous!

[briansayshi]

[saralphie]

[thelegendaryoni]

[PacquiaoEPO]

It's hard to get that tone even on a guitar

[n0b0dyR34L]

Through an acoustic Marshall no less.

[MaximvsDread]

Wish I could play my boner like that.

[rafflderchef]

[Riconnaissance]

[thelegendaryoni]

[LiquidErbse]

[hXc232]

@LiquidErbse are you sure you're thinking of the right person? lol uri geller is a psychic/magician who bends spoons with his "mind", not a cello player lmao

[MischiefCON]

Jeeeeez Bro, I remember watchin this breifly a couple years back...

your the fucken bomb maaaaan.

That Jam is the track & album that made me & my classm8s do serious Air Guitaring in the school corridors when I was 14yrs. I was learnin the drums @ the time & didnt learn the real thing till I was 30.

[redtail5]

[Xprtsc1X]

this just goes to show that if you put your mind, heart and soul into things anything is possible....and clearly this guy loves his cello and look where he has ended up....

[ysidoro1996]

[2010COBHC]

[subzero8000]

[umajunkcollector]

YoYoMa eat your heart out!

[sdmfjoe5150]

Personally If Im Satch or Via, I get a hold of this guy and spend a few bucks promoting the crap out of this phenomenal talent . This guy could do great things for both of their careers and Make a name for himself too.

[XDarkToastbrotX]

lol at 0:57

[dmnhntr86]

I've never seen that style of electric cello, where did you get it?

[rdnzl71]

Fucking hell you have amazing talent - I am sat here in absolute awe!!

[lucasman30]

lol the cello looks so retarded but the sound id fucking awesome

[TechnicolorTypeA]

it's a cello, not a guitar bro

[sinandris]

Sweet jesus that sounds so great !

[SuperGuitarNewbie]

HARDCORE

[Kirchenschlager]

dude... lessons??

[bobodd5]

what no violin daNKO

[ERNE100]

it is unbeliveble, excellent just what I can say, Satriani`s proud

[KodeBloo]

Awesome, awesome, awesome!

Very different, but did I mention awesome? ☺☻

[Zephymos]

That sounds really nice to be honest.

[slantedseven]

@savageninjaa There's loads of pieces in the classical repertoire which stand up in comparison to this - Elfentanz comes to mind straight away, along with Elgar's Cello Concerto, second movement. Classical cello is beautiful, and I've played it most of my life, but my point is that pieces like this are just as worthy of your attention as any pre-1950 composition, no matter whether played on classical or electric cello..

[QuinnTheSpacerocker]

UUUUUUUUUUUUHHHH YEAH !!

add me xD ??

[kenkanif21]

have you ever considered doing 'always with me always with you'  i think that would sound amazing on cello

[shayrocket]

Dude!! It is Amazing!!!!!!!!!

[ketankanjariya]

great job dud.......

[AvatarOfGames]

well done

[Max0Inq]

I played a cello first time today. I must say - this is the instrument I want to play.

After playing many fretless instruments you just know where each note is, no matter the scale. So it wasn't to hard play a simple melody. Just awesome :D

[soccerprog226]

America's Got Talent needs you.

[dillonrea76]

the solo sounds bad but the rest is realy good

[Royic]

@dillonrea76 That's probably more the Cello's fault than his

[harvolson]

Excellent work.

And, having seen Joe in concert, I can tell you that he gets that exact same look of closed-eyed grooving rapture on his face when he plays.

[chrisrockstarSG]

crazy shit!!!!

thats very cool dude :)

*heheheh*

[vectron12]

WTF thats crazy!!!

[SamOnGuitar]

The orgasm of an angel.

[nrubdarb]

I, for one, welcome our new Cellonator overlords.

[jazztoid]

@nrubdarb Fairlyoddparents reference? Is it? Can Ihave a cookie?

[GuitarsUnite]

who are the 61 iditos who didnt like this

[Th1sWasATriumph]

@GuitarsUnite People who can spot dissonance and sour notes. This hurt my face off.

[TeddySea]

Brilliant mate~!

[alanfig94]

[VLombardi01]

[johannesguitarist]

Cool! I got a that marshall amp behind you too :)

[2Funky4me]

You funk, man! 'nuff said!

[gcndavidmn]

Best video ever?

[burninmunkeys]

I cannot stop watching this... this has to be the most amazing thing I've ever seen ever.... You should have at least 20x the amount of views you do. Absolutely amazing bro, keep it going!

[burninmunkeys]

I'm truly confused how you do a harmonic on a cello....

[gcndavidmn]

@burninmunkeys as long as you can make a stationary wave and hit the node right I guess you could do it with a bow. Maybe a very quick stroke.

[burninmunkeys]

@gcndavidmn Think maybe it has to do with where his bow is positioned? Maybe he has it positioned like right on the harmonic spot when he makes the stroke across the strings. Kind of like a guitar when you pick and then barely tap with your thumb over the harmonic spot.

[tffdiliveryace]

Due Im lovin that facial expression!

[killaguitarz657]

u r the joe satriani/ steve vai/ van helen of the cello! ROCK ON DUDE!

[TommittajaFIN]

hooLLLLYY SHIT! you're amazingly good! i've never seen anyone play (cello) like that! Omg

[killaguitarz657]

[jt890011]

I would like to hire you to be my personal theme music man. The job pays one cookie an hour and has absolutely no fringe benefits besides the satisfaction of improving my life one epic tune at a time. Please RSVP

[mihawk14]

[mamollami]

Greaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Empathisantin57]

[TheJoulupukki97]

@danielflasher95 :D haha :D

[mitek9]

[SmashBD]

[92supra57lespaul]

Damn, great is not the right thing to say. It is much more beyond great!!!

[graymondoblue]

[basketball4344]

[CabboPearimo8]

Your hard work has payed off, and will probably continue to. Very nice tone, too.

[stonequen]

CRAZY!!! i love it! join a rock band! make music!!! id totally buy

[bandidodelasierra]

Super good!!!!!!!

[only1ziggy]

OH MY GOD!! that's all I can say. Dude, give Satch a call and see if he'd let you play with him. haha

[DarkRevMW2]

i would give my left nut to see that

[ReneeNme]

All " I " can only say 1ziggy, is that on the last YouTube Live I would have much rather have seen Satch jamming with cellonator than that half~baked ripoff of JerryC, FunTwo.

[ReneeNme]

That's okay FunTwo. JerryC is going to be back relatively soon from his stay in the military and yore ass will be out in the proverbial YouTube cold.

[walker666100]

Joe must to see this....the sound is incredible...and the cello looks like an ESP....Cool

[sfveiga]

Really good!

Muito Bom!

[Gilbert092186]

Absolutely sick! :)

[ymk19]

your the god of electric cello

[ighfee]

the cellonator lol, very fitting because you just slay these songs mate. absolutely incredible. love your work. i wonder if satriani and vai have ever seen this. dude, youre good enough imo to play alongside steve in his orchestra concerts. give him a call man! i'd pay money to see you.

[peniosasdasd]

Even the headstock on that looks like a metal guitar.

[Austinagent1]

Great! Thanks for not slappin` or doing Jaco 16ths..

[kneknelacteos]

woo cada cosa que se ve hoy en dia

[chadcoleman808]

[annihilator1100]

Looks like Deitrich Bater from the Drew Carey show. Fantasic job!

[greenappleman7]

What model is that? Did you make it yourself?

[robibm2003]

Now THAT was sick!

Amazing how close you came to replicating the attack of a guitar. Stellar job, dude.

[csSpetzNaz]

this guy looks like JD from Scrubs!! and he's fucking amazing!!!

[theEmoboy78]

your faces remind me of steve vai!! hahaha

[gamer3425]

Satch is my favorite guitarist, and this is just epic man

[cjmooney9]

I wanted to hate this. I really did.

Seriously though, it's fucking ridiculously good.

Well done.

[ramitupursnout]

[graverobber13]

This Is SO badass.

[jjysoserious]

Cello is way more difficult than electric guitar and i say WAY more so first is amazing and 2nd you're amazing

[shinjiemisato]

Very nice, i like joe satriani a lot, but i think that distortion u used didn´t sound very good on the cello.

[steveydeviant]

Completely amazing! Never heard or seen an electric cello until i saw this video and wow that rocked! Great job man!

[jeffmara]

who makes that cello?

[ryanandbranslurppiss]

wow :O

[metalhobo46631]
