[Stranglehold432]

I used to be a street musician like you, but then I took an arrow in the knee.

[himl994]

@Stranglehold432

ahhh what the fuck does that mean? I've watched three videos in a row and I've seen that comment.

[Stranglehold432]

@himl994 Just google ''I took an arrow in the knee'' and you'll understand. I usually dislike those comments, but I couldn't resist.

[grandfather118]

Btter than Lil Wayne 

[pencert]

I think this is actually a post-modern art exhibition, incorporating avant-garde elements in both visual and musical experiments. By dressing in womens clothes he deconstructs the image of the rock performance as a male sexual display. His music is inspired by the work of 20th century composers in both jazz and classical music. He eschews steady time and the tempered music scale as Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, and Harry Partch did before him.

Either that or he's a mentally-ill street person.

[MattRynbrand]

Is he using a spork as a pick?

[romeosdistress]

this guy is a musical visionary, don't cramp his style with your puny 'chords'

[SeanathenII]

Guitar wifie in Aberdeen is worse...

[MrSilver9692]

And yet he is enjoying life more than most of us ever will.

[ihmemies100]

Real men doesnt need chords...

[LoudFastAndDirty]

i'm his number 1 fan

[goodwitchglynda]

He has good rhythm, the vast majority of guitarists who play fancy melodies have horrible rhythm...

[XgameboycolorX]

He sounds like an angel <3

[fender678910]

keep on rocki'n i the free world!!

[eatmeimsteak]

@steelydrwu heh, heh.

[BujoySeth]

Much better than lil' wayne

[63chicago6]

nice spoon

[mitale1]

Plastic spoon? jajaja

[nbaronzzi]

At least he can strum those sixteenths with consistency. Don't underestimate the amount of talentless guitarists out there with a poor sense of rhythm.

[DirtySplicingInc]

YEAH BRO YOU ROCK THAT G and E MINOR

[KillTheMusicPodcast]

I actually totally dig his playing. Nice rhythmic work.

[romeo368]

[andrelh1986]

[nattydread90]

[maneatingtoilets]

I think he is a Pirate.

[Suloseepra]

When i saw the name of the video, i knew the player would be Asian.

[moleman1961]

He is playing with a "Salad Fingers" Finger!

[EFC4L1F3]

its nyan cat

[ethsailliamswa]

A lil short asian strumming a guitar with a toothbrush. Didn't even try to trim up the loose bit of the strings hanging off . O.o

[TrollWhut]

what the fuck is wrong with contemporary views on what constitutes good or 'acceptable' music? he obviously isn't just playing open strings and even if he was the music he's creating sounds rather pleasing to my ears, i enjoyed this.

[Jandebruijn1234]

He is most certainly playing a G and a Eminor

[94finland]

that guy rocks!:D

[dassy22]

Ponce De Leon gone Mexican

[MxC1337MxCsh43d]

[MIRZAbass]

[dusanvukovicVEVO]

Samurai always have some secrets hahahhahahhahahaha xD

[aaaaasssss22]

[PhoenixBlackthorn]

Doesn't sound too bad and he looks like he's having a good time. Why not? :P

[Da666ManIsBak]

Is he playing with a spoon?

I guess Soundgarden were talking about him in their song "Spoonman"

[Huntington12345678]

Capt. Jack Sparrow sucks at guitar.

[Ascirus]

Actually, the open strings when played together produce a very harmonious tone. He's much better than you think.

I'd $15 pay him to play that song for 10 seconds than even consider listening to something as awful as Justin Bieber.

[ShredWithMe]

No, the pictures behind him are possible fathers...nevermind. I thought he was black

[ltayl1]

Thumbs up if you found this by looking up Herman Li parodies!

[mykylc]

He's playing chords and he's stunning in time. Not that bad.

[Niggenaggex]

Hey What the fuck. Why im not on this video!?

[ktim97]

[emmanuelrio911]

[downhill240]

He isn't playing anything, but he's playing it real fast! LOL

[Brutalators]

Tabs???

[jnsebas94]

Keith Richards?

[RobBrooksMusic]

@DSoverPSP 1. It was a joke and not meant to be taken literally... 2. As for things I don't understand, I promote and organise local music events as well as working as part of an indie record label. So I have seen a lot of metal bands and their rhythm players, and in general they work on their right hand rhythms and neglect learning chords (as opposed to say alt rock or jazz players), when they can just play open D power chords. That's why this guy reminded me of them, case closed... 3. Peace

[MrColdShaadow]

@RobBrooksMusic Yea. I will have a try at it. It's not even a difficult song to learn.

[RobBrooksMusic]

@MrColdShaadow Haha :) it's all in the dynamics, accents and swing, but I would expect a metal player to judge it on it's technical complexity... nevertheless I look forward to hearing it!

[Zohra1997]

Still better than Dragonforce, OH SNAP!

[MarshmallowKeyblade8]

hey hey guys giv him a break.... at least he is da best chopstick guitar player!!

[ltayl1]

Is he playing with a chopstick?

[nicholasvanhaute]

@Stranglehold432 Actually, there is no 0:35, so its only 35 seconds of pure badassery.

[Bonnogreen]

tabs?

[christrab1]

Jack sparrow indeed! ha ha ha

[MrDuckFuk]

His rhythm pattern is good. :O

[cockbulge69]

genoius.

[matzallanit]

[huarw123]

._.

[thewhattheit]

i could beat that

[marksmanmax2]

not bad actually

[mrbillhicks]

Jack Sparrow meets Kieth Richards

[jveezy18]

He's better than Lil Wayne, TRUST ME

[wipers86]

@jveezy18 why would anyone care if he's better than Lil Wayne is he a guitarist or does he play on stage with one so bringing some shitty commercial pop prick up makes no sense

[Radderz95]

@jveezy18 Funnily enough I trust in that statement of fact!

[Gary280276]

@jveezy18 pmsl 

[alistonrenaldi]

@jveezy18 AGREE :)

[memimer]

@jveezy18 true dat

[MrDougIsHere]

That was actually pretty good

[AnonGuitars]

Mum?

[XgameboycolorX]

Is he playing that peice of sh17 guitar witha spoon?

[MarshuCSS]

@RobBrooksMusic that would be Meshuggah - Bleed

[PunkAwesomeMorgan]

@RobBrooksMusic lmao so true!

[DSoverPSP]

@RobBrooksMusic Eh...maybe only the deathcore/grindcore shit, which isn't really even metal. Don't make blanket statements about things you don't understand.

[RobBrooksMusic]

@DSoverPSP 1. It was a joke and not meant to be taken literally... 2. As for things I don't understand, I promote and organise local music events as well as working as part of an indie record label.

[AbnormalImagery]

@RobBrooksMusic

Stop insulting metal.

[RobBrooksMusic]

@AbnormalImagery I will...

...as soon as I find a metal song with an actual melody! Let's see the sheet music for a Cannibal Corpse vocal line

[AbnormalImagery]

@RobBrooksMusic

Hmmm, this is just a shot in the dark but try any "melodic -- metal". I'm sure melodic black metal or melodic death metal, etc, has melodies...

[RobBrooksMusic]

@AbnormalImagery The fact that a sub genre of metal is even required to start with the word "melodic" to inform the listener there is a melody, because metal by default is non melodic, proves my previous point

I make fun because I can't take it seriously. It isn't about the subtle representation of human emotional qualities- folk of soul, or tight interplaying syncopated dance rhythms- latin or salsa, or exploring the vast array of musical colours- jazz

It's about hitting stuff. Really loudly.

[AbnormalImagery]

@RobBrooksMusic

Oh I get it, you're a hipster. I could explain music to rocks better than to you.

FYI: there's more than just a few emotions.

[RobBrooksMusic]

@AbnormalImagery More than a few emotions? I challenge you to find 2 different emotions, and provide links to musical examples, for Suicide Silence (and not different words for the same thing eg. anger and rage)

Hahaha and I'm a hipster for not finding any musical merit in metal music? That's exactly what I would expect a metal fan to say lol so predictable. I enjoy a wide range of music, metal (and all its offshoots eg deathcore) is pretty much the only thing I can't stand

[TheKrantzed]

@RobBrooksMusic if you want to see more than two emotions in metal stop looking at shit "metal" bands like suicide silence. look at amorphis- silent waters (sadness) korplikanni- vodka (happy party). and saying metal doesnt have a melody is quite stupid, look up iron maiden, metallica, the two bands mentioned above, and virtually all metal. the two bands you mentioned in previous comments are jokes and should not be used to summerize metal.

[RobBrooksMusic]

@TheKrantzed Stop looking at s*** metal bantds... I wish there were any good ones! Yes I have heard of old metal bands like Metallica, look at my channel. OK so that first song starts off like Adele or something, but as soon as the guitars come in it is no different from any other metal song. That second song, well I will just say I think the guy in this video would fit right into that band!

Now you can't say I haven't listened to them and given them a chance but I find them boring

[AbnormalImagery]

@RobBrooksMusic

/watch?v=gBz28ARVDMY - yes, this is emotionless.

/watch?v=D8wdKiVVXLw - and apparently, so is this.

Also, deathcore is a subgenre of hardcore, not metal.

[psyckla5]

@RobBrooksMusic that second paragraph...irritates me djent (a type of guitar playing) and mathcore both are both defined by being fluid emotional and in some cases syncopated and many band like opeth and tool both "explore the vast array of musical colours" so fuck you fuck your life fuck your shit minded jabber AND STOP TALKING OUT OF YOUR ASS!

[RobBrooksMusic]

@psyckla5 No, because I disagree. I think metal is the new punk, and a lot of people are following for the big scene it has at the minute

It's funny how so many metal fans have become upset and can't handle a joke I made about open tuning. If I had said something like "I hear this guy's wife has 2 jobs, so he is more successful than most street musicians", I bet no street musicians would get so offended as to come whining on the comments, because they're not so uptight. It's a joke get over it

[MrRuggo]

@RobBrooksMusic The funny thing is, that you sir are an ignorant prick, who knows nothing about music. The likes of Ron Jarzombek, Tosin Abasi, Alex Skolnick, Tony Macalpine, Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore and many, many more would kill you at guitar playing. And its a funny thing that lots of schooled jazz musicians enjoy bands like Blotted Science, Meshuggah, Arch Enemy etc. Not to mention Kiko Loreiro is a metal guitr player too. His Universo Inverso is a masterpiece youll never understand.

[RobBrooksMusic]

@MrRuggo Another one of these...

I don't like metal so I'm no expert on it's current musicians, but I know this. Tosin Asabi plays many styles, I've heard his acoustic version of Paranoid Android with a double bassist, which is an ACOUSTIC cover of ALT ROCK. He plays with a former member of The Mars Volta which who are heavily influenced by SALSA. So he has a rounded musical taste, not just metal. Yngwie Malmsteem is neo-CLASSICAL, he is vaguely interesting because he draws from CLASSICAL music

[RobBrooksMusic]

@MrRuggo The fact is that any vaguely interesting metal styles are a fusion of metal and something else. For example, neo classical metal draws intricate harmonic progressions from classical music. But what does the metal aspect add to the music? Drop tunings as low as possible, awful distorted tones, drums that are too loud, a-melodic shred solos that are nothing more than technical exercises, and grunting vocals that sound like a human doing the impression of the lovechild of a dog and a pig

[SeaWithinASea111]

@psyckla5 lol i THINK IT WAS A JOKE

[MrMeineNamen]

@RobBrooksMusic no...

[MrColdShaadow]

@RobBrooksMusic really? 1. Not all bands play in drop D. 2. I would like to see you play something like Black Gold Reign from All Shall Perish. Have fun playing that. I would love to see you try.

[RobBrooksMusic]

@MrColdShaadow 1. Most of the bands I personally watch at live gigs and local gigs that play in drop D, or something similar like drop C# or open bass guitar tunings etc, are metal bands 2. Okay, I will TRY to make a video cover of it, might take a couple of weeks but I wouldn't be much of a musician if I didn't accept... I can't sweep pick but I guess you got to learn sometime... so are you going to have a go at Minor Swing by Django Reinhardt because I would love to see you try that?

[schwarg]

@RobBrooksMusic LOLOLOL U FUNNY GAI

[Blashyrkh1993]

@RobBrooksMusic Ok, your only talking about one of the most technically demanding genres out there, akin to classical and jazz.

[TheNeutralFan]

He quite obviously is fretting chords...

You lied. Tut-tut.

[MarkArandjus]

Jeeez I wish people'd stop with these worst guitar player videos.

It's pointless ever since Lil Wayne, we all know the deal now.
