Tricky Guitar Stuff - Newton Faulkner

[Omgawdzbored]

Anyone know where you can find the tab for this pure awesomeness? i must learn it!! D: And the guitar lesson doesn't have the tab. Being tone deaf I can't figure out exactly what notes he's tapping with the right hand -.-

[dercobo]

@Omgawdzbored

i think he playes an open d tunig (google it). then start to figure out the tapped melody line...

[Nstens1117]

Look up Newton Faulkner guitar lesson.... He teaches you the parts seperately :)

[AdamMoysen]

anyone know of a tab of this to learn it?

[CarysChr55]

Waw! :O I wish i could do that... xXx

[FtaCapoeiraWoot]

[CarysChr55]

@FtaCapoeiraWoot Haha :) Good on ya!

[AdamMoysen]

duuuuuuude! newton faulkner is totally epic!

[sam3479]

Epic

[chandanraina]

beautiful. just beautiful. ive heard this a hundred times and every time i listen to it i smile. great guy. awesome music.

[nevillegus]

newton is a quality guitarist and his music is great but justin king is a GOD

[Brixeyy]

Why do people still have to bitch and say things like 'So and so's better'. Obviously there's better people, there's probably some Monk on the top of a mountain who practices 22 hours a day and is literally untouchable. However, my point is, this is an excellent piece of music that's very creative and utilises a significantly high level of guitar playing. It doesnt matter who's better than who.

[olithegummybear]

I hate it when is compared to other guitarists that play fgast death metal shit... they're not better at all, they jut play repetative riffs fairly fast... this requires much more skill and concentration.

[KThornby]

What song is this!? or is it just a solo thing?

[RedXIV]

awesome, love this guy!

[MakeItRain904]

i wanna hump your leg

[tooomuchmagicbus]

[FRUITBATmusic]

[racerx3065]

that cant be the most difficult thing! to the light and some of his other tracks are way harder! and he has to sing over them

[FtaCapoeiraWoot]

@racerx3065 This isn't that hard but to get the timing on the taps right takes a bit of work

[Olie23231]

@FtaCapoeiraWoot Cmon man it is hard, bearin in mind he's on just an acoustic guitar. I hate the way some people think people who tap on electrics with super high distortion levels and very low action are god like, newton taps on acoustic which is so difficult, as well as using the body for percussion which breaks his nails from time to time, and sings, the man's incredible and better than any electric guitarist in my opinion aha

[FtaCapoeiraWoot]

@Olie23231 I can play this - It aint the hardest thing in the world, but what I was trying to say was that the difficult thing to play is the percussion part - I always go out of time when i bring the percussice part in

[olepotti]

@FtaCapoeiraWoot wth.. of course nothing is hard when you already know how to do it.

[FtaCapoeiraWoot]

@olepotti What? I don't get your point

[skinnydipper16]

pretty easy really...

[spazpod]

being easy doesn't mean it can be done well... and this guy killed it...

[xmattvsmondayx]

WTF?! He's such a dude!! XD

[blade1394]

This is the new intro for Rebuilt by Humans

[Cody111079]

too bad it's not whole song..it's just the beginning without the tapping and percussive stuff :-( I was a little dissapointed

[shoult1]

i was there

[springyowl]

wow! amazing

[JeffroPhoto]

Great stuff!

Check out Andy Mckee if you want some more tapping action.

[no66y666]

and Jon Gomm

[GladerzUK]

he is the MUSIC MAN!! shit me

[msharp130]

ASll you guys comparing Newton to other people? Do you know how hard it is to tap acoustic? With both hands? And sing at the same time? Bear in mind the other guys pretty much are famous for tapping. This guys famous coz hes an awesome song writer, and incorporates tapping into his music.

[GuitarsAndSwords]

@msharp130 Imagine if Andy Mckee started singing... i think i'd sell my guitar on ebay...

[rockyonemambo]

@msharp130 Actually, tapping is easy. This guy doesn't deserve the praise he gets. He is really ordinary.

[BarkerIsOnFire]

@rockyonemambo Lol you go try tapping on an acoustic whilst playing percussive parts and singing at the same time in front of a live crowd. TLDR: He's really fucking good.

[LauraSophieMoo]

@rockyonemambo

You really think this guy is 'ordinary?' Newton Faulkner is a genius when it comes to music and he really does have ALOT of talent. . . . And I agree with 'Barker Is OnFire.' You try and do that. If you think he's ordinary, I really think you should find out what talent really is.

[rockyonemambo]

@LauraSophieMoo I stand by what I say. I will also add that if Newton lost his "look", ie the dreadlocks, he wouldn't be as popular. He really is a most ordinary musician. Tapping is a very fancy trick and his accuracy leaves a lot to be desired. Anyhoo, what would you know?!

[LauraSophieMoo]

@rockyonemambo

Nobody is popular because of their hair love. He's popular because of what he does. He's popular because of his amazing song writing, his amazing voice and his ability to involve rhythmic tapping to his playing. He is an extremely talented man. No doubt about it.

[MrLoquatious]

@rockyonemambo

You seem to ignore his voice which I think is at least as big a part of his music.

[scottyboyable]

he only taps the base notes, but hammering on and pulling off while doing the percussive stuff as well is pretty impressive, can you play this piece?

[jemandeye]

that was ok ut justin king craps all over it

[slashwylde85]

he plays that song for a total guitar lesson and breaks it down into its different parts but by the looks of the video i thot he came up wif it while sitting there being interviewed by total guitar

[owenzy17]

matt mariot - cat tapping

i love newton, but matt is about ten times better at tapping, but newtons far better at the songs

[eaturheartout505]

omg that was legendary!

[acoustic24]

Anyone who likes this style of playing check out Eric Roche who was his mentor at music college, there's some vids on here. I was privileged to have a guitar workshop with Eric in 2001, was shocked to learn he died of cancer

[Ella2534]

Newton Faulkner.. AMAZING!

[skyedav]

hes awesome how cum he dont do that in his songs ???

[theserpentofmendes]

hes does do it technical stuff in a few songs for example to the light and people should smile more hes just very suttle with it

[bettylala]

wow i think he's really amazing. :)

[delilah911]

[toadpink]
