Thomas Leeb - Akaskero - crazy Acoustic Guitar harmonics

[PopeyeTheSailinMan]

Wow! This is amazing, the composition is beautiful, and the skill is flawless!! I've been playing for thirteen years and just had my mind blown! Well done man! Seriously, you got class!

[rgg3107]

[guitarpic1000]

All the best guitarists have beards...

[Bezman8]

[tamborelconejo]

[mickzzmonster]

[ostfrallan]

lolol this is so great! I learned this song in 1999 and I actually recorded it back then :)

[Gitaereler]

Hei Thomas, ich mag deine Lieder total! Und dieses hier ganz besonders!

Wie machst du diese Harmonics? Schlägst du mit dem Finger an und ziehst ihn wieder weg?

Ganz liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz

[Gitbox56]

Hey Thomas,

Great stuff, what woods are your Lowden guitar? Sounds really smooth.

Thanks

[thomasleeb]

@Gitbox56 : it's the Leeb Signature model, an O35c with walnut/spruce

[Gitbox56]

@thomasleeb So does Mr. Lowden call you up and say " Look, you're such a beast at guitar that we've decided to dedicate an entire model in your name" haha

Happy playing Mr. Leeb

[acmiller95]

This is a perfect example of how beautiful an instrument the guitar can truly be, especially when it is played passionately. Amazing. As a fellow guitarist, rock on man.

[giambiarod]

@avxnce sungha jung hes also a really good guitarist

[BrighamHB]

Simply amazing.

[xXxHesadexXx]

EPIC WIN

[thomasleeb]

@xXxHesadexXx : Leeb: winning since 1997

[SIRNicolasRSM]

I love music more than my life and really that is impressive, congratulations from Chile, ur the best.

[TheLautaro327]

tocate esa cancion sungha jung

[xandracox]

beautiful song.

you know other guitar tuning similar to DADGAD and DADF#AD ?

[thomasleeb]

@xandracox: there's a lot of them - CGDGAD is one of my favourites, CGDGBbD is a derivate from that one. At the moment I'm having a blast with DADF#AE

[xandracox]

@thomasleeb thank you so much !! and the sound is great !

[paddawahn1986]

Just wonderful. Thank you much for this =)

[nhymkt]

[MrJin263]

[vitormpro]

seu trocha kkkkk toca muiiiitoooooooooo nem apau mostro pra minha namorada se não vai se apaixonar por você

[thomasleeb]

@vitormpro now let's see if my Portuguese is still any good: "am going to play a LOT so my girlfriend doesn't fall in love with you?"

[eu4nick8]

@thomasleeb almost there! ahahah he said that he is not gonna show this video to his girlfriend because he is afraid that she could fall in love with you.

[thomasleeb]

@eu4nick8 - thanks for the translation, almost got it!

[ChrisWindyBoy]

I wanna see and hear my top 3 idols Tommy Emmanuel, Thomas Leeb, and Sungha Jung playing together... That would be great!

[ChrisWindyBoy]

This will take some time to learn.... Especially for me... Cause I'm just a beginner finger stylist...

[vitormpro]

rapaz Deus te deu uma sabedoria estraordinaria usuflua dela eu um dia quero ser um grande musico como voce é parabens

[TheBeTrax]

[BaerVids]

Justin Beiber's "Baby" has 675 million views, and this has 11 thousand. WTF??

[jujs9392]

[MrSurgio1984]

EXCELLENT guitar playing!! Love the sound of those bended harmonics!! :D

[decduff93]

3 people like the newest realeas from maroon 5

[BoRnUuNrOb]

[stuartpurves]

[iRaCZzOo]

Sungha jung brought me here! :)

[CreateMus1C]

Only 3 dislikes :D I love it

[PataoEngineer]

[Stanislavskyful]

[eccehomocaro]

so at the end, i didnt remember, i just keep living :D

[FritzdeJesus]

0:56 - 1:06 One of the best tune ever written!

[jordak]

Sungha is about to start experimenting with alternate tunings on guitar.

[AlejoLucangeli]

this is the background music of my life when everything is going right

[XxcKyCoBHCxX]

not much of acoustic player but damn, good stuff here. Keep it up the great tunes!

[giambiarod]

Thumbs up if Sungha brought you here

[machineheadfan1992]

@giambiarod

no i won't thumb you or any other dumbass up just because you beg for it. Nobody cares who you brought here. God i miss times you got the best comment when you comment about music. and it's just about music. so Thomas rock on, you're really great and i like your music a lot. 

[thomasleeb]

@machineheadfan1992 haha - give them a break, it doesn't make much sense to me either but seems to be common youtube practice. The dumbwits who ask questions that can be answered by simply clicking the 'show more' tab are on my hit-list.

[avxnce]

@giambiarod who ?

[nigellimjr]

Beautiful :)

[gracejmh]

you're so talented! :)

[eosdelb]

Is that guitar a lowder or a lowden? And what kind of strings? Sounding good sir! Must share on the FB.

[Tank23333]

wow beautifull

[jujs9392]

wow this is really good....

[eosdelb]

2 dislikes. Alright, Im going to listen to it a third time to see what you did wrong. Im not going to enjoy it this time. Im going to analyze this puppy. You can't fool me three times.

[eosdelb]

@eosdelb I dont know. I still like it. It is just a great tune with very tasteful harmonics. That guitar sounds better than any I have heard as well. Thanks for including the tuning you used. I would have asked anyway.

[TheFreshSolution]

Sounds really good bro..also good background music while doing my hw :)

[CSmystik]

Sungha Jung Favorited this video, which is why I had no choice but to check out this video. I totally understand why he Favorited this! :)

[crazdaveed]

@CSmystik aha what a coincidence same reason why im watching :P pretty awesome vid!

[coijoi]

refreshing♫....♥♥♥

[FallOfMind]

Is this real life??

[TristanCarrollMusic]

I should so try learn this over the Christmas

[FreaqyFrequency]

Hei Thomas, osaatko suomen kieltä? En ole suomalainen, vaikka mä opin heidän kaunis kielen. :)

This is a gorgeous song, and I know exactly the gorgeous nights of which you speak. Truly beautiful country, and part of the world at that.

[aguxtin74]

[ramroom96]

Please do a tutorial pleaasee pleeassee

[cbl1508]

please don't make any comparison between sungha and thomas. They both are great players. and I don't think anybody's great enough so that they can go around judging and saying who's better and who's not.

BTW, Thomas I love this song! and especially DESERT PIRATE!

[maremmaamara]

BRAVO BRAVO!!!!!



[sagi2dozetas]

00:55 - 01:05 best 10 secs of my life

[nahro316]

Whoa, perfectly played! Very beautiful

[SuperArock22]

sungha jung is better

[thomasleeb]

@SuperArock22 If you make comparisons between one player and the next, it shows that you have no idea what this is supposed to be all about.

[turly221]

I like your smile at 1:59, looks like you really enjoy it. :)

[MrNahLeme]

mt bom...

[rokkangelus]

Bravissimo thomas!!!

[TheBeTrax]

[SidraBhatti]

[Onemanband87]

Now that is waaay awesome, such perfection and precision! Are these you're very own arrangements or are you covering this song as is?

[thomasleeb]

@Onemanband87 what are you talking about, I wrote this.

[Onemanband87]

@thomasleeb Oh damn, I greatly apolozise about that, I thought this was a cover... Never the less, This tune is Genius! And you're skills are out of this world! Saw this vid about 5 times already, Much musical love from down in Texas!

@sillamari I swear to God, if I had a dollar for everytime someone says that when he favorites a video. Try paying attention to the VIDEO instead of trying to post a comment that a hundreds people are gonna post and than get fucking 106 likes for it.

[jwcfree]

Hi Thomas! I really love this song!!!

[MrWooferer]

@jwcfree

Sungha, I'm afraid that it's the only chance for me to tell you, how I appreciate everything you do. And we all do! Thumbs up so he can see

Sorry for my English

[thomasleeb]

@jwcfree- thanks, man! Connected us, didn't it?

[naryanr]

What I wouldn't give for a guitar that sounded like that...

I would be on it 5 hours a day until and beyond when my Akaskero sounded like yours.
