[DrogoBalkier]

GOD... FUCKING... DAMN that is insane....

[staffer]

WHAT THE!?

[Sideler74]

Gaku Should have won.

[felphero]

@Sideler74 I think the reason he didn't win is because this sound exactly 100% like Zakk and that is fucking awesome,but I think they maybe were looking for something different

[felphero]

@Sideler74

*see rules of the contest*

oh shit forget everything i just said!

what the fuck is this shit?! this kid sound exactly like Zakk Godamn it!

[HiredGoonage]

@Sideler74 too much of an identical clone job. Wins the award for the perfect cover.

[Savvas1211]

@Sideler74 of course not meit

[VoraciousBlood]

Your guitar have acne!

[MLutte117]

That was some bad ass hybrid picking. Lol.

[kkjrss]

I do not get why everyone calls him goku... I'd call him Gohan...

[samsoniteeee]

[mrbuddha2026]

[ChaosBurnsWithin]

Whatever Zakk Wylde does an asian kid can do 10 times better. lmao. honestly Zakk's lost it now adays... still a great guy nice guy and good player hes just not as good as he used to be

[guitardan1998]

[kritiqal1337]

[GamerNdAirsofter028]

@kritiqal1337 EMG actives, gotta love em. Wish I used min in my les paul instead of my VMNT :/ I would switch them but I suck at wiring.

[NightRaven147]

[panda94sam]

[Striated]

Christ! You are the one of the cleanest sounding players I have heard this side of Tony McAlpine

[hk19950329]

Is the Wah padel is the secert of sounding like Zakk?

[73BGTA]

Let's see: 1,482 "likes" vs. 54 "dislikes"  More like 54 "insanely jealous"

I would like to be half as good as you for just ONE DAY and I would stay home and play till my fingers bled and record every note of it. You are really, REALLY talented. God bless.

[ROTVAJLERI]

Dont sale this guitar its awesome

[hdfxst2006b]

なんだろな・・・この気持ち。

このお兄ちゃんは若いのにすらすら上手に弾きます。

20年以上がんばっても ろくに弾けない俺。

[alfe060606]

If i will listen to this one more time, my head will probably explode due to too much of pure awesomness

[kungfudragon99]

wow really? this guy didn't win? i've lost some respect for mr wylde

[Spade103XBL]

@kungfudragon99 I think he actually did 'win', but they chose him as second place due to the cost of shipping all of the gear to Japan... Kind of sucks

[YouAreMyHostage]

Fucking Asian!

[Shredin0id]

I fucking love your guitar!

[leodickes91]

Nice chcken pickin'! Guys like you make me believe that I've wasted my life!

[DrDragon63]

Great playing but I have to ask...the title says shred challenge...why do all the contestants sound like Zakk clones??? Was it part of the contest to do Zakk songs???

[Gibson1197]

@DrDragon63 ya. you had to do atleast one of zakk wyldes solos. Improv was optional

[GamerNdAirsofter028]

@Gibson1197 And the way this guy improved should've WOW'ed the judges for the contest.

[kkjrss]

replay like a b0:00s

[KaleErwt]

@kkjrss I read boobs :(

[culzo89]

[CsMucia]

[Addam1978]

[TNA796]

1:22-1:24 ...what?!

[kungfudragon99]

@TNA796 its a harmonic slide.

[AkisMetalPower]

how many years have you been playing the guitar?

[FaimlyGuyFan]

How did you get that brown/red finish on your guitar?

[drummking15]

You should have won that easy. The man that won it did not come close to you.

[Shakhrum]

[jgf145]

[choosebing]

How did this guy not win? Dang!! 

[QuinStefan]

I honestly don't see how could you NOT win -_-

[AmericanNevermind94]

What guitar strings are good to play metal on les paul?? I use Ernie Ball 0.10 but I'm not satisfied

[The13thRow]

@AmericanNevermind94 DDT

[Myxale]

@AmericanNevermind94

try the 0.11. Finger Breaker, but capable of creating a solid wall of noise!

[QuinStefan]

This is not amazing.... THIS IS FUCKIN AMAZING.

[MrSdmf24]

The most Zakkesst playa I've seen yet! Great tone bro!

[zachlava2]

can someone please tell me what tuning crazy horse is in..

[spinninfred]

1:55 epic switching

[lordsidious911]

Bad ass guitar man, I've always wanted to make a bottle cap LP like that!

[flowerdrop1]

love Sapporo caps! best beer imo

[sushimanq]

What type of Les Paul Custom is that and what kind of "color"/"finish" is it?

[zakkwylde81276]

Keep up the great work gaku! You should have won noone has the depth and feel like you do!

[xXPlayer2]

he dint win because they couldn't ship to japan

[flowerdrop1]

nothing beats EMGs in a real Les Paul imo

[GuitarStudio1]

Gaku, If I close my eyes I could have sworn it was zakk on guitar. Great Job! You should have won this contest bro! Did you get any runner up prizes? Kick ass custom shop! I have a Gibson Traditional Pro with Goldtop finish. I will eventually shoot for the custom shop. Keep shredding!

[Joshua123456789C]

dude you are such a beast on that guitar

[0666FrAcTuRe9990]

Why would anyone dislike this??!

[ironrzk]

@0666FrAcTuRe9990 maybe 'coz our little friend here wears makeup and has gross hands?

[mik3ydo]

you got ripped off bro!!! best Zakk cover ever; im sure Zakk is looking over his shoulder...

[mraia007]

that was as good as it gets!, maybe zakk is jealous! lol, im curious as to what kind of pick your using! even the hybrid picking is awesome , chicken pickin, i dont see how someone can dislike this playing, it is perfect in this world

[MrJcsettlemyre]

This guy didn't win!?

[brucer6522]

When ya get good thats what happens ZAKK!

[fo0lishguy]

wow! didi u see he uses middle finger extra finger for picking @0:40?

[stix471]

@fo0lishguy its called hybrid picking, when you use a normal pick and your fingers :D "and knowing is half the battle!" lol

[ArmyRangerish]

@fo0lishguy its called hybrid picking

[berserker2111]

\m/\m/

[flowerdrop1]

that guitar is sick

[tbonewalkerfan]

WOW! thats practice and talent, Dude, you are... WOW

[GugaDev]

Epic hibrid picking is epic e.e

[carouselcarouse]

I'd like to see this shit out on stage standing up instead of sitting down in the bedroom.

Anyone got any vids of Gaku live to look at?

If he only plays in his bedroom then this is a serious waste of hard earned skill.

[RenatoVimieiroGuitar]

How can u do this?! O_O It's fuckin amazing!!! 2:10

[surana87s]

@RenatoVimieiroGuitar he hits the natural harmonic first while the pickups are silence and then switch it back on while ringing...now u owe me £100 :p j/k lol!!

[RenatoVimieiroGuitar]

@surana87s I really tried but it didn't work D:

[MrSocialdisease]

@RenatoVimieiroGuitar He is muteing the string. You have to press it very lightly to get the harmonic.

[BlackholedudemanG]

@RenatoVimieiroGuitar I think he plays a harmonic on 7th fret (not sure which string) and then raises volume up. :D

[NipplesMagee]

@BlackholedudemanG 5th fret and it most likely was the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings at the same time.

[BlackholedudemanG]

@NipplesMagee Probably you are right...

[Krizalid15]

@RenatoVimieiroGuitar haven't checked if anyone replied to that yet, but anyway - he picks the strings on mute guitar volume, and then slowly opens it up

[Noriko95]

@RenatoVimieiroGuitar he just turn the volume on his guitar down then put it up the noise you heard his the noise you can heard on any guitar when there is a big distortion with a lot of gain on the amp it's some noise pollution but you can use it to make pretty cool effect :). If you look at his right hand at 2:03 he turn down the volume on his guitare to canceled that noise.

[44killerdog]

woooooooooooooooouuuuuu!! this is the best disciple of Zakk Wylde!! \m/

[DarkBlade4224]

Dear Gaku ,You Should Have Won , That Fuckin Contest ...

[musicguitarlessons]

@DarkBlade4224 WHAT WAS THE PRIZE ANYWAY???

[chuckmehh]

@musicguitarlessons A Marshall MA half stack, Gibson Les Paul BFG Zakk sig, year's supply of strings from Dunlop, and some other crap I think...I don't know how he didn't win honestly; he's by far the best at Zakk's style on youtube.

[DemiGod00023]

What kinda guitar is that?

[JMoschkovich]

@DemiGod00023 i don't know exactly the model, but it's an gibson les paul.. o_o

[judgey1197]

@DemiGod00023 Its a 57 lespaul custom made to look like Zakk Wyldes rebel lespaul

[judgey1197]

HE CAME IN SECOND PLACE!!! Im not saying the winner isnt an insane guitarist but gaku is king

[Macsk8ing]

It seems, in Japan everything related to Ozzy has a lot of popularity... to bad they dont give a single shit about japan.

[rafipolan]

gowno



[thepennysdropped]

fucking hell  thats great

[saulojjr]

proximo guitar do ozzy

[Aciderski]

japierdole!!

[PIlotrcm]

Wow fantastic...you do a great job at capturing his tone too!

I love the fact that you are using a Valvestate amp (Which is solid state with a preamp tube for "color") and looks like you are using a small solid state Marshall as well for stereo sound I suppose?

Please share your setup I love it!

[YogendimeB]

what string do you use and which tuning is you in?

[DaeronCarvalho]

Boa GOKU!

[72enjoi]

wht is the name of the last song is awesome ??

[72enjoi]

man suriously your are one of the best guitarist i ever seen

[robotsforever]

This kid isn't even old enough to drink, nor could he handle it, and yet he has his guitar littered with beer caps. Why?

[Sideler74]

@robotsforever: Envious? LOL This guy kills it. He should have won this contest, no question about it.

[robotsforever]

@Sideler74 I never said anything about the quality of his playing. It is great. Your statement is irrelevant, and it has nothing to do with what was said. I accept your apology.

[Sideler74]

@robotsforever: Judging by your previous statement(s) You are obviously are a moron. Thank-You

[robotsforever]

@Sideler74 Despite your 'astute' observations either you're illiterate or you have trouble perceiving basic english. Your comment had nothing to do with what was said, so I believe you're the moron. Apology accepted bro.

[Sideler74]

@robotsforever: You keep apologizing to.... yourself? lol twit

[Sideler74]

@robotsforever: Uploads (0) - this explains everything.

[robotsforever]

@Sideler74 I like how you keep avoiding the issue. A dull mind and a sharp tongue share the same head.
