Antoine Dufour - Catching the Light - www.candyrat.com

[Paulcanplayguitar]

Antoine Dufour is certainly my favorite guitarist. I've taken a lot of inspiration from him, and i've started to put up videos of my own stuff. I'm 17 years old and It's my passion. If any of you like solo acoustic guitar please check out my channel, thank you!

[ImJustStrumGuy]

Nice shirt

[serginhovonposer]

Antoine Dufour is a musical pearl.Your fingers shining in strings,

my mind fly.This man is God playing music!!!

[BonXsig]

This has inspired me beyond what i could possibly imagine.

My new goal for the next year. Get good enough to play this.

And prove to myself i can do it.

[Vicron]

I'm digging the Dream Theater shirt

[sigmancooler]

I have been working on this... proper tuning??? D A C# E B E ?? Correct??? Thanks.. Ciao

[sigmancooler]

Simply AMAZING..... great job Antoine... thanks for your awesome, amazing, truly genius playing style... God-Given talent... simply amazing indeed. Ciao

[pseudogenesis]

No...NO.

Brace yourselves.

Bronies are coming.

[Arthtrott]

parthenogenesis always results in daughters, no?

[wsl3docmob]

This Makes Me Think Of How Bad I Miss My Family. 

[0rolon]

alright, wth have bronies to do with this, can someone lighten me up plz?

[johnxpaulxmusic]

@0rolon Hahah get the p90x if you wanna lighten up.

[0rolon]

@johnxpaulxmusic Google says p90x is a exercise system. you managed to leave me more confused than before.

[johnxpaulxmusic]

@0rolon First you're heavy, then you get p90x, you lose weight (lighten up). You meant to write "alright, wth have bronies to do with this, can someone lighten me up plz?" that's what you said. I was making fun of your not-knowing-how-to-type or at least proofread your comment. So I made a joke about you saying "lighten me up" when you meant to type "enlighten me" its funny to people with half a brain.

[InFlam3sW3Trust]

What's up with all the idiots mucking up the comments? There should be constructive comments about music, not the spam that there is. Fads are a terrible thing.

[venerablegeordie]

Truly astonishing



[Tbowen1231]

good music for a pony ultrasound ;)



[sentitus]

Wow, these are the truly music stars, great sounds...keep up the wonderful work Antonie!

[vanburn777]

I DIED WITH THE AWESOMENESS

[sn34k3rs1]

this must be very relaxing for Octavia "brohoof"

[Shanawolfo1]

The song has been doubled!

As a guitarist myself, Antone.. Bravo sir. Wonderful performance.

In case you have not guessed, you have been visited by a lot of very nice and colorful ponies lately. Your beautiful rendition was linked as accompaniment to dare I say one of the best chapters in one of the best fics of our genre.. Quite touching and your music fit beautifully.

For the most part we ponies are harmless and simply wish to show our admiration.

Again thank you. *Brohoof*

[EpicDJTime]

@Shanawolfo1 What are you talking about? Only curious lol.

[Shanawolfo1]

@EpicDJTime I just sent you a more detailed explanation with link to the story in a direct message. Hope that helps.

Oh, and think of a brohoof as like a high-five, or fist bump. Just a way of saying awesome!

[DarkApostleMatt]

@Shanawolfo1 ....which fanfic? I 'd like to know plz

[TheVader2]

@DarkApostleMatt Two's company, Three's a Crowd.

[ungusfungus]

Paradise must be having Antoine 24/7 playing music for you. Oh yeah.......

[Roadside14]

awesome

[alextbuck7]

And if you can tell me what tuning he's using, that'd be great too.

[alextbuck7]

Can anyone tell me what kind that beautiful guitar is? Is it a Lowden or something?

[k0mpassi]

@alextbuck7

it's a Stonebridge

[abstract37]

He's wearing a Dream Theater shirt.... That explains a lot!

[DetroitDieselBob]

It's SAD that this man isn't the HIGHEST PAID SON OF A GUN IN THE WORLD!!!!

[mrsnugglepussy]

hells yeah, Antoine is Dream Theater fan :D

[Liton777]

I like to think he smokes a big fat bong, turns the camera on, and plays from the top of his head.

[riomanasi]

I think he appreciates the virtuoso style of playing that Dream Theatre could produce. I loved their first album, was a big inspiration of mine. Antoine is frickin amazing!

[jordanmalpica]

i have no word to say all that i fell! u're music is so amassing! so expressive, and it's the motion for me , to play guitar! i'm amateur guitarist, but u man!!! u are the best that i listened at all mt life.... find me on google+ like jordan malpica... seeya man!

[TheComquat]

i got the tabs for 3 of his songs and i cant play any of them lol. this song doesnt sound that hard but it is a pretty good challenge

[CBSsunshine]

One word for this song "AWESOME!!!"

[Mark08tl]

I love how the last harmonic note leaves this feeling of hope that you will actually catch the "light".

[smpxix]

awesome

[intheflesh316]

funny i need to go catch class but i can't stop listening to antoine dufour

[The11Pavel]

Просто СУПЕР!

[disponively]

i just cant stop listening to this

[gothmamafreedom]

i did that "rainy mood" thing, it was way cool.

ok children practice your scales.

[Deathuntneki4]

I smell bacon.

[WarOnTime]

one of his influences must be Michael Hedges

[RcRABS]

goose bumps every time I watch this!!!

[FrankSherryMusic]

I'm a light catcher after learning this!!

[frls50]

This dude is amazing... Every single thing I've listened to from him puts me in some kind of inexplicable melancholy mood... Great music. Interesting arrangements. Incredibly played. I'm impressed.

[horacioabraham]

a full orchestra coming from a single acoustic

[4menco]

Tuning?



[reno1992]

@4menco the tuning is DAC#EBE

[nobska913]

Such a captivating and beautiful progression...and the feeling holds up when I play it myself!

[wsl3docmob]

68 People Are Loser's

[RockYourInnerSenses]

What exactly does he do to that E string at 1:51??

[martinavizcomm]

@RockYourInnerSenses

Google "tapped harmonics"

[RockYourInnerSenses]

@martinavizcomm I don't think that's the thing I'm on about, it's that thing he does with his nails against the strings... I'm wondering if that technique has a name...

[stotanx69]

@RockYourInnerSenses there's the tapped harmonic's as stated from another person. then he strums with his thumb. and then the thing he does with his index, middle, and ring finger is called rasgueado. very prominent in flamenco music. it's a technique that simplifies strumming so you don't have to jerk your hand up and down fast to keep up with the tempo of flamenco music.

[naabstermike]

Keys to watching this video in full effect:

Step 1: Stop video at 0:01

Step 2: Go to google and type "rainy mood". Click first link.

Step 3: Resume video

[wsl3docmob]

@naabstermike Omg Thats So Awesome Dude Thanks!!

[MrEames22]

@naabstermike Dude i am listening to this while it storming out side!!!!!! :D



[FaithUponADream]

@naabstermike I do this to everyone of his and Andy Mckee's songs. Thank you.

[LegendaryK4]

@naabstermike O man I just did this and the thunder had the best timing in the world! Amazing,,, thats all I have to say.

[Denthru]

@naabstermike It blows the mind!!!!

[todeath42]

@naabstermike You, sir, have attained comment monopoly. Good work.

[RB1991rox]

@naabstermike

awesome...!! :)

[eliotryan]

@naabstermike Dunno how you found that, but it's very, very true

[edgeoflight01]

@naabstermike awesome.. thank you

[CinnamonBunz18]

Haha i love how he puts his pick in his mouth when he has to fingerpick

[JLukeNichols]

@CinnamonBunz18 I do that too ._.

[MegaHbrown]

i love this song along with rylynn by andy mckee and also antoine's -these moments

[MegaHbrown]

i love his percussion style its awesome

[PeaceWiseMusic]

This is the perfect song.

[wsl3docmob]

This Is Exactly What You Call Talent.

[420toxic420]

there's nothing like waking up grabbing a cup of coffee and start the day off right by listening to Antoine Dufour

[ejohnso1967]

Oh my gosh!! Amen! A fucking brilliant piece. Beautiful! Just beautiful. It makes me cry.

[comoesquees1]

He have a t-shirt of Dream Theater =D

[kromekrush]

Unreal! Does anyone know what stand he's using under the guitar?

[MrBipulpandey]

This composition , to me, seems like a song of hope, of light and of joy after a long stormy night!!!

God bless you, your music and your soul.

:)

[borrowmeadolla]

This song has more feeling than a Clitoris.

[broomeydbr9]

Antoine using a pick? :O What's going on here?!

[naabstermike]

@broomeydbr9 He's not using a pick. That's his thumbnail. He keeps the right fingers longer and groomed with glue to help him pick.

[broomeydbr9]

@naabstermike He is using a pick, he holds it in his mouth while he's not using it. That's how I knew he was using one

[choumoumoumou]

whats the tuning of this song?

[tenfriskydingos]

@choumoumoumou D A C# E B E

[icancount2qbakwd]

i just bout damn near shit myself

[guidetoanything]

keep rocking :)

[TheDianapereira]

Essas 66 pessoas naum sabe oq é armonia

O cara toca muitoo !

[JJengineering]

HIS BEST! WOW !

[tenfriskydingos]

@JJengineering Nah check out "These Moments" It's even more ridiculous

[MrHotujec218]

what tuning is this in?

[Exiepoo]

The Devil lost his battle against Antoine, and was forced to move to Georgia.

[treeradioproductions]

@Exiepoo lol gave him the enchanted bandana

[ikeman1156]

Thats just amazing how low he can get that sound at 1:24 I try to do stuff like that but jeez! But im always like 'F this crap' whenever I try to do it. But it may be because I play on a shallow ovation applause hahah

[marax1976]

po prostu SUPER !!!!!!

[elsimo94]

Pfft... and men can't multitask.

Shredding and drumming at the same time.

What a god!?

[sexualchocolate581]

Him and Andy Mckee had a baby i believe, i think his name was Optimus Prime

[ElectricTurkey1]

This music is amazing. its nice to have a break from everything there is today and listen to this. There is nothing wrong..No distractions, no bad song writing, just raw musical expression. This music and playing can NOT be considered overrated or pretentious in anyway...It's one man! Bands today get caught up in their scene of music and forget why they play music in the first place. While some bands don't have skill whatsoever and have a massive following. Antoine is neither of those.

[JJengineering]

@ElectricTurkey1 True,thats all i can say :)

take care bro!

greetings and respect JJ

[trev231000]

such great tunes with antione dofour. ive been learning music from the candyrat studios artists for a couple years now and his and don ross' stuff is always so much harder than the rest to learn.once you try learning the harmonics and all the other little tweaks you can appreciate the difficulty so much more! but anyone cam hear that this is beautiful music. also anyone who clicked dislike should be staabed in the face!

[KrummyBear]

FUCK YAAA DREAM THEATUUURRRRR!!!!!....*horns*

[thatoneleftyguy]

incredible.....

[AleexMiles]

My nipples are now erect after watching this.

[Lyreat]

1:51 to 1:55. HOW?

[Foot0fGod]

I love all of Dufour's work, but for some reason this particular song has inspired me and my plan more than pretty much anything else recently.

[sommervilleTRS117]

what the tuning D:

[LeoLovesNature]

This is totally abstract

[walterhop56]

I want to be a light catcher!!!

[Stalagmighty]

This is me

"Hey that's sounds good to play, I'll just retune and..............DAMN IT!!" as my guitar string breaks.

I envy your skills Antoine. Amazing!!!!

[sommervilleTRS117]

@Stalagmighty  do you know the tuning for the song ?

[Stalagmighty]

@sommervilleTRS117 I believe it's DAC#EBE

[theNo10]

he made a mistake, but somehow i think it was on purpose....

[MySnowfox]

@theNo10 where and when?

[pyromohanzed]

Is there some echo (spatial ) effects on this or is that the natural smearing of the guitar used?

[hellotoyouandmeandyo]

@pyromohanzed i think its the room acoustics.

[pyromohanzed]

ya it might be 

[Tattedupcody]

I covered this song on drums! in my channel, love his work. come check it out.

[robbecker43]

Fabulously played my man

[ViKTorulez]

amazing

[minxydude]

@rgmike email address??

[ChipoSho]

Jesus! Its amazing !

[xxstfubmx]

any good tips on how to tap right handed harmonics ?

[envolopee]

@xxstfubmx basically you put your finger over the harmonic and then pluck with your thumb, while tapping with the left hand.

[minxydude]

@deank88 got it ;) will upload a cover soon

[theguitarchris123]

Millimeter harmonic, FTW! First Antoine song I learned, still one of my favs.

[slablilseb2]

God, nice alternate tuning. I wonder how he chooses, or how he determines a melody from the tuning he chooses... know what I mean? I wish I could think that far.

[minxydude]

@Zrc322 I have the tab ;)

[rgmike]

@minxydude NO WAY MAN! can you let me have it?! PLEASE!

[minxydude]

How do the slap at 0:34...anybody??

[andrewrkeegan]

@minxydude If you hit the strings with your finger over the 12th fret, it will cause the strings to cause the twelfth fret harmonics. I think that is the "slap" you're talking about.

[MySnowfox]

Thumbs up firstly for his Music and secondly for the Dream Theater shirt

[HybridKir]

this is, like, my favorite song. Out of all of them. For some reason I just... dig the drumming on the guitar with the beautiful melodies.

[RlNCE]

Wonder if he can play House Of The Rising Sun.

[sahastradhara]

A beautiful piece of creativity and skills

[Gonamez]

This guy owns! Crap dudes and dudettes, I cant believe this guy, he is awesome, buy his CD's he deserve it.

[KenHalo]

The highest rated comment is seriously about what shirt he's wearing. I love dream theater, but I think the fact that the song is AMAZING is a little more important than his tastes in music.

[pyromohanzed]

wouldn't his favorite music have been his inspiration for this amazing song ?

[Humandavid1]

@KenHalo Antoine has plenty of videos here. I don't see a problem with a few top comments about his musical tastes. : - /

[imdajake]

@KenHalo

"Bullshit!"

Hahahahahahaahhaahhahaa

[megadeth1056]

@KenHalo

You have to have to know good music to write good music.

[ottomelaras]

Obrigado Jesus por essa canção maravilhosa.

[PinkPANDA64]

incredible!
