one arm guitar

[OhNoiTsZak]

This is fucking amazing.

[TheAlmostGod888]

Wouldn't you think he would strum with the half arm and play with his fingers?

[MrTech991]

@TheAlmostGod888 Yeah, but maybe he plays lefty and that wouldn't work.

[whisperatruth]

Ever tried attaching (taping?) a pick to your nub (that's what I call mine lol) and playing it opposite how you are in the video? Just curious. The one and only time I ever "played" guitar (as a joke) - my friends wanted to see if I could - I taped a pick to my nub and strummed with that lol. Worked for me!

[g0TdAmNiT]

U, ARE, AMAZING :)

[adamgrindley]

That my friend blew me away :) keep it up

[imjessthemess]

Your video is very inspiring. Truly amazing.

[Rosebud4733]

[guitarzan1283]

[bobgifford]

[Sophie1z2c3]

Prove's that nothing will stop you from your dream not even one hand! :)

[SatansVlog]

I have 2 arms and I can't even play as good as you. Keep up the good work

[JasAus]

I just watched Soul Surfer about the poor girl that lost her arm to a shark attack in Hawaii and there was a few scenes which made me think what life would be like with only one arm. This was the first thing i looked up on youtube. Amazing.

[icsvortex665]

he has it in his blod

[pettersentheman]

awesome! a cool song played with great skills, sounds great!;D! i'm pressing like cause i really like it;D

[cornishrob123]

wow cool ,you got to do somthing eh ,im a amputy too, i had a left orchidectomy due to cancer lol lol look it up

[ArtfulDawdger]

what tuning do you use? i assume its open something? I am very impressed.

[hellerase]

I decided to search guitarist after watching the "soul surfer" movie and I have to admit that everything it`s possible. Whenever I think something might not be possible, I search in youtube and see that it is possible.

[whiteguy2369]

give this guy a hand good job

[MarryTehNight]

whoaaa :D nice!

[shenkeey]

Why dont you take a left handed guitar?

[cbeetow]

I couldn't play that good if I had like, 10 arms. Cool stuff man.

[LeichenParty]

you play much better than me, (sorry my english is bad)

sound awsome i love it

[164jord]

I salute you, that is dedication. Thanks alot for this, I wish you the best of luck.

PEACE

[TheFishingDude2]

awsome ive got one arm to i jus made a vid about having one arm peope shouldnt fill sorry for us we can do every thing they can but in a different way in some way your my rolemodle

[funnyvidman01]

Did that hurt your stump when you first started playing?

[gromshit101]

what tuning do you use man?

[TastyBassist]

Mindfucked right now? Yeah, me too O.O

[TheBarry1394]

I'm gonna go downstairs to pick up my jaw

[HugoQc1337]

dang....only one arm and you play a 12-string guitar? i have 2 arms and i cant even play my electric guitar properly lol....dude you're awesome xD

[xxmagnumforcexx]

wow this is awesome!!

[ancientpal]

How is that for us? a man with disability but able to do things compared to a complete physically healthy but unable to do like that. I wish that this guy will use his talent for the Lord. Amazing

[wazurai]

WOAH!!!! I probably couldnt even do this if I had 3 arms! You sir are magical.

[shredhead999]

you're amazing, that's all i can say... RESPECT!!

[claudinebinard]

C incroyable , magnifique je  souhaite que tot tes voeux ce realisent ,bravo

[genSHTABproDK]

Respect man!

[skatastolako]

friend, you are so talented. total respect to you, thanks for being a bright example to all of us.

p.s. I do not see any kind of slide attached, or any pointy place on your right arm. I wonder how you fret the notes with the edge of your arm being so round. true inspiration man, thanks again

[Dhirlova]

hey man..great job.. . u own it :) I have the same flaw just like u with same hand condition and I play guitar as well.. but just for fun and for my own entertainment.. I do consider to upload my videos on youtube but i need to practice more and to find the right tools to make it easier for me to play the guitar anyway i like your video and your determination u make me proud man.

[SoldierOJesus]

Man, that was intense. Those chops are so in time and unique. Keep up the outstanding work. You have found "it"....share your gift with as many as you can.

[bobdeeguitar]

Everyone has some "disability". What one does to over come it is what makes the man. I know guys with no hand/arm disabilities that can't play nearly as good as this. Impressive. Keep on it!

[joesjoes20]

Awesome, takes skill to play like that with only 1 arm XD

[Cgolfsoccerguy]

Holy shit you are an incredible talent and a fantastic musician!@!@!@!@!@!@

[dingdong2247]

wow very impressive better than most of the shit on youtube

[S0METHING1986]

[S0METHING1986]

poor guy

[onearmguitarist]

@S0METHING1986 dont feel bad for me, thats what i play like on a bad day :)

[KATORRIA102]

@onearmguitarist but no matter what ur damn good

[shaibear12]

@onearmguitarist hey u rock i have one arm too im young so people always tease me :(

[Kintharocks]

@onearmguitarist you are amazing yeah a real guitarist ! very good playing !

[MrShaunesy]

@onearmguitarist you lost an arm that is an inspiration to all of us dude

[hoosier9009]

@onearmguitarist doesnt it hurt? I cant imagine pressing the strings with anything else but my fingers.. This is amazing though

[VHDT10]

Wow, fucking AWESOME!

[basseterre]

Great stuff, mate!

Have you considered an 'attachment' of some king to enable you to fix a slide onto your stump? Might be interesting.

Good luck to ya!

Lew

[onearmguitarist]

@basseterre , i just use a slide attached with 2 pieces of elastic. works pretty good!

[jucker1797]

my mind is blown...you've got mad talent

[chype]

You are fantastic mate, thanks for the video :)

[cloud4056]

You are fucking badass. I know I couldn't play half that shit, and I have both arms.

I respect that you put in the effort to do this. Keep on keepin' on man!

[subthis]

thats amazing!!!

[ElijahTurtle]

That's freaking awesome! Just amazing dude! 

[thebakuman77]

good job dude thats awesome keep rockin

[feliut3]

facking awsome!

[sevenfootsativa]

What kind of strumming is that? Does your other arm also have a flaw or something?

[onearmguitarist]

My other arm is very short so i just hold a pick between my middle and pinky finger and strum with the back side of my hand

[sevenfootsativa]

@onearmguitarist Oh ok. I guess the shortness might help with the speed you play at.

[Dietfantaextreme]

BADASS

[dhrocks4life]

open tunnings

[Guitarexplosion16]

Woww! thats amazing!

i have one arm, but i wouldnt be able to do that, even if i did have two arms!

[chicogoodfriend]

[TheMichiel1976]

Dude serious, you have my deepest respect. You're amazing.

[L2SB]

[guitarshreder777]

[coollein]

I would be really proud if I could play that with 2-4 arms!

[cantstandyahoey]

Hey man I was just going around posting responces and found you here this is great you rock man. great stuff Thats some heavy duty playn man.

[eigononinja]

Drop D all the way!

[reader1265]

WOW

[Bassai]

How does he do chords? Holy shit!! He must have really tiny fingers in that stump!

[onewingedangelhli]

Most likely tuned to an open chord

[reebocken]

omg. he doesn't do chords of course....

[MrBrocollie]

@Bassai Its probably an open tuning.

[BoguslawaKarlinska]

Oh,Jeremiah! Jesteś fantastyczny!

Twoja pasja,perfekcja,niezależność urzeka mnie.Po prostu - masz talent

i co najważniejsze - nie marnujesz go.

Wielki szacunek za to,co robisz.

[jewpiles]

"one arm guitar", my aching ass!

That's One arm, and one stump. What a letdown.

[jonlscott]

ok i admite i chuckled at that but seriously, ya gotta admite thats alot of skills

[hibeefinlay]

yeah, he plays better than i do with two hands but i couldnt resist

just so the thumbs down guy knows

[BrutalEpicMetal]

You know what at first I was amazed to see this, but then when I looked at the guitar closer I realezed the 12 strings and I thought that was amazing.

I think it's kind of weird but cool looking when he bends his half missing arm.

[containsnojuice]

dude u rock i cant play a guitar with 2 arms lol AWSOME THAT IS SOOOOO SWEET

[JaredThePiper]

You are awesome!

[taod69]

Nice work! 12 strings. I was wondering...since the guitar is laying flat, is there a difference with the feedback issues they sometimes have live?

[plectrumperfection]

Dude!

[ATICAV]

Wow

Amazing ... Gr8 Work man !!

You got skils :)

[aorider1]

this is a great video, I lost the use of my left arm in a Motorcycle accident and got one a dirt bike check out my videos, keep up the good work man!!

[terry12107]

what is this you!!!!

[onearmguitarist]

yeah, this is me

[SteffanLlwyd]

Good One.

I know of a leftie guitaris who has just lost his right hand and lower arm. He worked professionally at the highest levels as a session guitarist. I was wondering whether using an 'e-bow' would work? I never saw one but I think they vibrate the string to give violin-like effects. Might this work, do you think?

[XglobalwoodX]

Does that hurt? Damn, he plays better than me with ONE arm.

[onearmguitarist]

No man it doesnt hurt...i have caluses on my elbow...it ued to hurt and i used to bleed all over my guitar but not anymore.

[soeffingwhat]

Absolutely BRILLIANT! well done.

[awfulguitarplucker]

see? its people like you that, even if for one only moment, makes me feel really Proud and Honored to be born Human!

Rock the Shit on Man!

[JaYyay000]

[semicroma]

[mfors704]

I walked in on my roommate watching this and I asked him who he was listening to. I couldn't believe what I saw. I want to hear more. The music just sounds so joyous.

[ivannacrapalot]

Fair play mate.

[onearmguitarist]

Thank you kindly!

Hang On Fair Enuff You Can Do That Cuz Theres Video Evidence, But How Do You Type??

[Tbannu]

maybe his friend or someone else typed >_>

[khbgkh]

he has fingers you fuck. his left hand is still there.

[DiBahi]

No, he doesn't have fingers on the left hand, I was friends with him in Junior High. He only has an elbow and the stub of the humorous bone....you fuck

[karateguitarkid]

dont be so stupid.

[UltimaGreenBeast]

Don't you see he's not moving his fingers? It's a prosthesis.

[Branch83Hawks]

SOLO! FREEBIRD! ok, all kidding aside. It sounds good. An open tuning i guess? Doesnt it hurt or cut into the skin? Or do calluses form just like the fingers? Pretty damn cool bro.

[northroader]

rad

[onearmguitarist]

I wouldnt say im a hero just a guy that learned how to strum some strings. But thank you that is very nice of you to say!

[danecook321]

[Mahavishnu80]

[typeanoise]

[kjsippel]

[enganxadoati]
