Jimmy Wahlsteen - Halifaxation

[DukeInWJ]

it's a great song I love it.

[mensamoo]

yeah its a loop, but great music

[narayan85]

Amazing song !!! good dynamics candyratrock records!!!!!

[onlyayota4me]

to all ppl saying this is not a tru solo guitar selection bc u would need multiple guitarist to play it....ever heard of a loop pedal? just sayin

[bandthesurrendering]

but this is arranged for multiple guitars or at least tracks...no?

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@bandthesurrendering yeah, Jimmy's style focuses on wide compositions and instruments..like one time he composed for a brass quartet which he played along with..i forget the song name though

[bandthesurrendering]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good thanks, that actually makes since now listening to the dron and the open colors

[Juanucho13b]

mm feels kinda fake. not feeling his attitude. The song is awesome in so many ways. as ussual.

[IIIZennIII]

This video is filled with the soul here, but not the music.

[jarv606]

Den här är den bästa jag hört av dig! Skönt med lite rytm.

Richard

[bandthesurrendering]

Anybody know what tuning this in?

[jashwood007]

@bandthesurrendering i'm not great at this, but it sort of looks like standard tuning? forgive me if wrong!!!

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@bandthesurrendering it's in Open Gm Tuning ;)

[guitarplayingcat]

I hear guitar and drumming going on on the strings/guitar.... I DON"T SEE IT!! Good guitar, but If you can't do both parts at the same time than make this a solo piece for guitar, because it is sick...

[corpatoreo]

Thank you rpoland whoever you are, for posting these great playlists! I thoroughly enjoy them.

[kanga58]

l ot hear and meet Jimmy Wahlsteen and Don Ross when they both played at Herman's Jazz Club to a packed house earlier this year. They both pretty much sold out all of the cds and dvds that they brought. They hang around afterwards for autographs and chatted with everyone for over an hour, even though they both had to get up early for overseas flight to Germany l think. They played solo and together. what great night of music. Hope they come soon!

[dportnoy1]

thats like the best guitar dream song ever, thnk you, you are sure to be an Epic guitar hero.

[kfcfunera1]

Pretty much all my favorites on youtube are candyrat records songs :)

[ScottBrunelleMusic]

SUBLIME. Very cool production, fantastic playing (as always), great melodic sensibility. All around A+ composition. Made my day.

[Felippe1306]

that's so fcking good!

[DavidPileGuitar]

the screen is dancing :)

[a7fDevilDavid]

hmm z przyjemnością wysłuchałem do końca

[soulytierra]

Really enjoyed the music but the background and video editing is just distracting and not very appealing. The playing is incredible though!

[LedZeppelinPage]

Holy crap Jimmy, one of your best imo

[ZacVrono]

...I played smoke on the water today...

[andiluvius]

Awesome!

[theboxmodder]

Heavy Metal video with Acoustic guitar sound lol.

[BFMV1100]

@theboxmodder i believe thats called folk metal, not sure though lmao



[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@BFMV1100 this style originated from Michael Hedges and was called Heavy mental

[BFMV1100]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good heavy mental?

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@BFMV1100 that's what Hedge's called it

[BFMV1100]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good ahhh, learn somethin new everyday lol

[ubernerd35]

Great song. The video is worse than Ewan Dobson backgrounds, though.

[Dannicthemanic]

Haligonians unite!

[DEQR]

On Average, 9 in every 839 people will seizure on their way to the "like" button and hit the "dislike" button by mistake

[BroccoliBrigardist]

1:21 to 1:49 best part, in my opinion :D great

[EugenePoluyachtov]

@BroccoliBrigardist No this part better 0:00 3:37)))

[HanoobKen]

He seriously looks like James May from Top Gear rofl

[phantomjackal6]

Wanna see this guy and Miyavi, dueling guitars. lol

[DavidPileGuitar]

the projector is dancing to the music :)

[ZacVrono]

1:46 head EXPLODES!!!

[DuskY1991]

This is really great. It would be so different though, if I didn't hear this right before the great Tommy took the stage. I was so happy that Jimmy opened for him though.

[GregorB123456789]

Am I the only one who thinks that from certain angles, this guy looks like James May from Top Gear?

[ChrisBrandsborg]

amazing! 

[mikegurnham]

This is amazing!  Keep up the good work Jimmy I love your music.

[BrokenCapo]

good playing but kinda boring musically

[RustyRazor2010]

Needs more zoom...

[jijiggybounce]

Larrivee Guitars always sounds Great

[penguinchris796]

I wish I could marry this song, and we'd have gorgeous children.

[megladon32]

Mr. Wahlsteen does it again!!!! Absolutly amazing.

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

Wahlsteen was my fav when it came to pieces that pierced the soul..this is no exception

[streetlightpoetry]

this song has just the right level of drama.  nicely done!

[herbalt0ker]

they dont put this screen in andy's vidios because all the fuses in your head would blow

[MrAftrenoon]

good

[thejerrymobile]

A for acoustic.

A for attitude.

A for awesome.

[PyroinHell]

I'm so glad he has a new album!! Mr. Wahlsteen you do not disappoint. New album is amazing thank you again for sharing your music!

[mensamoo]

two guitars not one. If I had his hair I'd do the same deception. nice music

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@mensamoo it's possible to play this song with only one guitar if you had a loop pedal and some chorus/delay and a harmonizer but its way too much gear

[megladon32]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good I have the Boss RC-50 Loop Station That would take care of the problem of 2 much equipment.

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@megladon32 cool! i have an RC as well but its the small 20...it mimics Wahlsteen's playing very well with my Boss Super-Chorus, Vox harmonizer and Digitech Delay

[mensamoo]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good thanks for your reply, D

[sheila28ful]

jimmy's best work yet!! me is simply lost for words.......@ 1:48 especially....WOW! What was that!! BRILLIANT! BRILLLIANT! looking forward to the rest of the album now...

[GuilhermeCosta1992]

Is this like acoustic dubstep?

[felipecei]

Between having some camera effects or only a camera, nothing better than having to hear only the sound. The sound is all.

[JoeLaFigue]

sooo intense, fascinating. reminds me a lot of Michael Hedges's Promised Land, which also amazingly good !

[Muzikman127]

I thought the point of Candyrat was amazing performances not overdubs and post production???

[GarretsShadow]

@Muzikman127 The point of Candyrat is great music

[Wunio]

@mohammed9005 open g minor is D G D G Bb D

[mxerbezn]

I can't get enough of this! Gorgeous....

[mohammed9005]

tuning is open g minor. gbgdgd

[stevoracing13]

the first solo sounds like don ross...

[egervari]

Yeah, I'm listening to the other songs and the compositions are all fantastic.

I honestly think, though, that this material should be remixed. In this tune, the guitar tracks are not layered properly, and some of them stick out as they are many db's too loud - it's very obvious and I don't think you need to be a sound engineer to tell.

The recording engineer deserves a gold star. If I mixed this, I think I could do a better job. The rest of the tracks have similar issues. It's unfortunate.

[CurtisThorpe]

Great tune Jimmy!

What's up with the shot at 2:20?

[tonkaktoy]

@CurtisThorpe

@ 2:20

Looks like its someone behind the screen, maybe controlling the projected image with a shoulder slung stylus driven laptop or drawing pad or summit. Oops methinks.

[felipemp93]

He's back *-*

[nocturchaos]

Just skill...

What else!

Great...

[STCJCAC]

jimmy is king

[kaputmonkey]

needs more resolution in the playing, especially the quicker middle section..

[egervari]

the only blemish on this otherwise awesome track is some aspects to the mix: some of the acoustic guitar channels get too loud.

[Baldurat]

awesome!

[helloalan]

Halifaxation? Like 'Californication', except using the less glamorous West Yorkshire town of Halifax?

[jerix7]

@helloalan Halifax, Nova Scotia

[gabm999]

what a wat to mak tghat ujniuqe sorry eating a n egge muggmuuffinnn... arrrrghhhhh/......

[dadarkyubi]

beautiful job !

[turbonbc]

l2 enjoy the music, not worry about what annoys you or what not.

[ksaajasto]

He's back!!

[nancyl2]

Most delicious to the soul. WOW!! chillingly beautiful masterful playing. I share with humanity; Music is being used to help the Harmonics of the Universe get in tune with the masculine/feminine energies once again in balance. Thanks rpoland for this post once again. :-))))) XXXOOO

[fattywithchips]

this is insanely good! now back to skyrim...

[EtyleN]

@fattywithchips haha. n1

[Suddenregression]

@fattywithchips

Skyrim is life

[Andy40004]

@Suddenregression i think your wrong... but its a great game!

[Suddenregression]

@Andy40004

Haha yeah I know I was just kidding :-) but yes it is a good game.

[Andy40004]

@fattywithchips your a lucky one ... i cant play skyrim X( but atleast i got this amaizing song :)

[shiznoes]

@fattywithchips HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES!!!



[TattooMarvel]

@fattywithchips That's the funniest comment I've read in awhile. But shame on you for reading this when you should be playing skyrim.

[HandiAce]

@fattywithchips Nooooooooooooo!! Not the addicting blockbuster video game!!

[CurtisThorpe]

Halifax!

[Bluebuthappy182]

Nice piece of playing there. I see the Director at Candyrat had a brain storm before shooting this. Just messing actually quite liked the vid.

[toodance]

Yay! a new Wahlsteen vid

[InVINCEab13]

:)

[GalantyGuitarist]

0:16 the mouse pointer on the background omg that annoys the shit outa me

[ErikWidqvist]

@GalantyGuitarist Can understand that. The art is digitally painted live while Jimmy was playing. Hence the pointer in one or two of the clips.

[tomrankenburg]

Good rockin'

[bigbamboo77]

Great playing, production, & video...... can't wait to see more.

What tuning was used for Halifaxation? Anybody know?

[Foodie88]

@bigbamboo77 I haven't tested it yet. (Just played along with it in standard) but I presume it's DGDGBE..

[bigbamboo77]

@Foodie88 Thanks for the tuning info !!!

[AintNoCrime]

The camera angle changes are so distracting I scrolled down so I could focus on the music... which is beautiful! :) (but next time save the hyperactive angle changes)

[BrighamHB]

Damn, that was good. I'm jealous of that slotted Larrivée...

[Davidsc0000]

thats my guitar !!!

[Foodie88]

Replay nr 4 and counting!

[lhvent]

Amazing what can I say

[CelestialLarrivee]

Freakin sweet Jimmy. Can't wait for more new vids! Slot Headed Baritone Larrivee? Very nice.

[shorty2689]

I was totally checking this song out last night on the candyrat website wishing I could hear the full version. Thank youuuu!!!

[AcousticLabs]

Wow, awesome composition and production!

[factorcross]

two suckers are bad votation

[MyCommentsAreFact]

At 3:05, it literally sounded like someone singing in a beautifully harmonious voice.

[semionbahtin]

cool

[jkazos]

It's like a mix of Mike Oldfield and David Arkenstone.

[danielsoria100]

Wow

[albatrossrock]

Very good, nice interpretation. Muy bueno, gracias por compartir.

[MadMicas]

awesome playing... I just don't think it was covered from enough camera angles

[ThOrnton42421]

I dont know which is cooler the music or the artwork behind him haha

[nocturchaos]

Incredible!

Such Pressure!

I can´t resist...

OH DAMN!

THATS SO GOOD!

[jazzmetal8]

Awesome...just awesome!

[MrFantasioSpirou]

[teteroom]

The guitar work is really GREAT!! I enjoyed this very much!

[catchjune]

Looks like Jimmy had a brain blast.

[philnetlan]

Fantastic Jimmy!!!!! BTW - what is the tuning you use?

[izenick90]

[TomoTheGuitarMan]

[jeaniebaby001]

[jeaniebaby001]

[SpewingAdlayz]

@jeaniebaby001 Its the channel of the record company, The name doesn't matter, They provide the best guitarists that the world should know about more, but its amazing stuff.

[meadish]

@jeaniebaby001 R is for Rob and Poland is for Poland. It's the name of the owner of Candyrat Records.

[GarretsShadow]

@jeaniebaby001 Rob Poland, head honcho at candyrat records

[darksideofthemoo]

B

[Nextel025]

Awesome, haven't heard of this guy before

[ttJinn]

You don't even have to play the tunes yourself anymore to get on candyrat?

[trustnodrug]

@ttJinn See him live and you'll eat your words

[dhpgoalie]

@ttJinn there are videos of him playing live on this channel and all over youtube. Even in the related videos on the side. Are you dumb?

[lilyvoon10]

guitar god!

[DonRossMusic]

Brilliant, Jimmy!!! Delighted!

[mindbodylightsound10]

i dunno about this dude, he's kinda corny.

[dannyuzi4u]

nice vid:D

[kryogenix]

My god he's actually wearing some semi-normal clothing for once haha. Great tune as always though

[Aer0smith44]

Not as complicated as the rest of candy rat, but still has a nice swag to it.... I loved it!
