  • Nice skill with that guitar...and awesome hairstyle !!!

  • Man he is so Fine!!!

  • Freaking HOT

    

  • amazing kang :P

  • nice music bro

  • super kamehameha guitar !!!

  • For a few seconds it took for the video to load I saw the Super Saiyan comment and was thinking "Well that's random...". The video then loaded and I rofl'd

  • As great of a guitar piece as it is, the top comments are making me laugh out loud.

  • Oh Hi Cloud!

  • anybody notice how hes not actually doing the harmonics and yet they sound perfect? might be fake but it sounds great, wouldnt let him play my axe it looks like hed break it no dought

  • @bongtoke420ification they're slap harmonics, you just hit the fret with your index finger (or at least that's what I use) and you get great sound, that's why it always sounds like they pop because he's hitting the fretboard to make them. The best ones come out of the 12th and 19th frets, at least for me anyway.

    Diggin the jams man, good style and great finger strength in the right hand to keep those ghost notes nice and quiet

  • Dude the hair is full of win! Awesome guitar music too! Is there a purpose for your left hand being over the top or do you just do it cause it looks cool? Amazing song bro!

  • @delchavez i would say that it's because it makes all the tapping stuff easier :)

  • @delchavez

    It looks cool but it's actually easier to play the song that way... believe it or not :)

  • u look like the statue of liberty!!! But seriosly awesome playing !!! Wow!!

  • Wow absolutely mind-blowing bro ....love it Yeah

  • Do that Hairstyle Gives u powers Cause i need :/

    

  • you're my teache... awesome goku!...

  • Why is everyone bashing on his hair? This is amazing.

  • Beautiful guitar playing man. Sick hairstyle.

  • Die it pink black and blonde and your Yu-gi-oh :D

  • Sonic having a bad hair day

  • HOLY SHIT! This is awesome!!!

  • Woow, so many transmitter antennas on your head.

  • Holy crap at those one-handed harmonics, my mind is definitely blown

  • King Kai dislikes this. But...Nappa doesn't.

  • I have that guitar!

  • following in the steps on andy mckee, very impressive

  • Kakarot! Where did you get such awesome guitar skills? Theyre over 9000!

  • I can't take this solo piece serious with hair like that

  • @IchiTrois Same. It's just so gad damn stupid. It's still amazing non the less

  • I've been playing guitar for quite a long time and I didnt u can fcking rape it like that..

  • While this is accomplished and beyond the the skill of most people you should realize that music is about sound, not technique or acrobatics. Click on wisztrock to hear some cool guitar.

  • @Wisztrock I did. And I heard talk-box. I hate you now.

  • great guitar skills, but your barber is a retard.

  • @fatguyaaron lol'd

  • that...was...INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! loved it.

  • This guy has to listen to Justin King and Kaki King. Awesome chops.

  • Wow, absolutely amazing. The only thing is tho, (sorry but I'm a audio engineer freak, so I have to point this out), I would mic your songs differently. The way you have your mic placed, I can here the other side of the string (the side next to the guitar head) play a note when you hit a hammer-on. If you put the mic on the other side of where you have it now, or mic it directly on the acoustics hole, that will fix it. Other than that, I was stunned. Keep on playing!!!!!!

  • @Spazoman13 As a audio engineer, you should also know that the mic does not HAVE to be positioned in a specific spot... Its where the artist is. I'm not trying to be a snob and troll you by any-means, if we all had specification there would be no new art, no new "music" this is great. i love it how it is, every string, every note speaks to you... and if im right in front of him, i want to hear this, not just what im "told" to hear. again im not trying to be mean. Just point out its his music.

  • thank you.

  • I didn't understand my math homework, i turned this on and my mind became so relaxed...Finished my math homework in record time. I love it. :D

  • This is mesmerizing. Absolutely wonderful. Virtuosic and beautiful. Your style reminds me a little of Tony Kaltenberg...but unique in your own right, of course--

    Thank you for sharing.

  • playing guitar like piano

  • i dont give a damn about your damn skills.. this song is just beautiful..

  • "Tabs Available" - geeee thanks. i'm sure that'll help a no-styler like me :(

  • incredibly beautiful..and those who criticize are simply envious and jealous ..I've been playing guitar for 25 years and can't match this..I'm primarily a vocalist/songwriter and this is right up there with Michael hedges..

  • Simplemente exquisito no hay nada mejor la musiquita un buen solo de guitarra para calmar el estres

  • Dude absolutely amazing

  • Lol whats the tuning? So I can be awesome?

  • dat hair

  • Epic hair and playing.

  • SORA!!!?

  • duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­de amazing, really.

    Super Saiyan time... "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHH" *passes out*

  • Wow. Really. I'm speechless. That is so outstanding. Really, how do you get your hair like that? (srsly)

    Oh, and great guitar work too. (also sirs)

  • If you spent more time practicing, and less time on your hair, you could get really good! Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the sounds you created very much.

  • iam needing to be telling you that..thank you for pleasing my senses therefore bhole baba blesses you..may your wealth spreads in four corners of the world..so be it so be it so be it..jai mahadeva shiv shankar shambhu

  • I love your style approach. It's reminds me some common drum rudiments applied to note/chord progressions. Awesome man. Cant wait to hear more.

  • his hair says he doesn't care, his playing says he doesn't have to...

  • this playing is so unique ,an awsome combination of harmonics ,hammerons, tapping and pull offs,thank you man......

  • And I thought Andy McKee was skilled. You Sir are a madman...

  • I like the hair.

  • hhhhhm, i like

  • I like this song. plus he is very skilled, and I like the hair. top it off i was listen to this like almost passed out and it made me want to sleep.

  • Like that kid from august rush o.o

  • this reminds me of the ER theme song in some aural way.

  • How is he doing it? Plucking or slapping, tapping, tickling, striking, kicking, punching, slicing... Fucking sick as FFFFFUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK!!!

  • If you guys like this you should check out the song grooveyard by Thomas leeb (that is if you haven't heard it)

  • I don't get it ... what's with the hair?

  • This reminds me of Thomas leeb

  • and people told me that harmonics don't sound good on acoustic guitars. way to prove em wrong

  • So amazing!!! Bravo Maestro!!!

  • Decent, but you're no Erik Mongrain. Practice makes perfect, keep at it.

  • At one very cool

  • wow. ... thats all i got!!

  • Super Saiyan.

  • @WWWAKATheTruth forced to add: "Level 9000!" Sorry.

  • I bet he got his guitar super powers after a lightning strike.. Respect man, that was great!

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing song. I hope to hear you on the radio, and best of luck in your musical journey called life!

  • The very first musician that I ever heard playing in a style like this was the new age artist-"Michael Hedges". He was on the front cover of guitar player magazine several times and busted open some doors with this kind of stuff. There's been a few more of this style since then BUT... it's still not a whole lot of people just yet so It's very entertaining to see someone here even newer pushing the open tunning and tapping styles further along in such a good way.

    Great work!

  • Amazing guitar playing. AMAZING Hair Style. I wish I had enough hair to do that. Excellent.

  • a uh i...umm...umm ..am speechless.

  • @617kenny I agree that was a 2nd life character. LOL great job on that solo Shon

  • you are very good...congratulations...go and find Ewan Dobson...is very good to!!!

  • You have definitely earned the hair. =D

  • That was amazing bro, bout to watch it again.

  • He looks digitally animated

  • @617kenny kingdom hearts there we go

  • i'd like to see it on an electric guitar now.

  • Fantastic. That was right there with the McKees and Dufours. I could only imagine what that would sound like on a higher end guitar

  • One of the most beautiful guitar solos. I really love this.

  • awesome sound man wish i could play like that wanna write a song in commeration of my great grandfathers passing he was an amazing man

  • awesome!!!

  • Supper awesome vid. love the song man. keep up the good work!

  • Awesome musicianship! Reminds me somewhat of Andy McKee.

  • took Andy to a new level

  • Fantastic composition and performance. As a 40 year+ Martin player, I'd add that you're getting a helluva a sound out of what looks to be a Yamaha.

  • omg!

  • Just toooooo good....superb.

  • I'm just learning to play guitar and...I do not understand what is going on here. Mind = Blown

  • @sciamhach i can explain whats going on... he's making sweet sweet love to that acoustic

  • @sciamhach its called tapping, but to me its not guitar playing,its does sound nice tho

  • wow

  • too much string noise - unwanted

  • Outstanding. Happy, melodic, active. Touches the soul. Talent and originality. Extreme talent. Thanks for posting this... you made my day.

  • sonic style guitar

  • yeah, i don't think those tabs will help.

  • he can play but his hair is pretty stupid

  • This is awesome!

  • THIS IS SOOOOOOO AWESOME oO

  • @wovitaful

    Thanks :) Glad you enjoyed it.

  • @wovitaful I agree. He is pretty great! Rock on!!!

  • This guy deserves so many more subs...

  • i subscribed at 0:01

  • Your hair is cool. And this was the video that made me fall in love with guitar.

  • When I first watched this video it had like 10k views, I'd like to think I helped to spread the awesome around...

  • Очееень круто!!!!!

  • Yup , one more subscriber. :P

  • You know, this song did a lot to me as a guitarist. I learned about harmonics, over-the-neck, alternate tunings...but it does upset me that the whole thing actually plays so naturally that I have to keep a close watch on my own compositions, or they start turning into Melodic Wings...

  • @Ceevro

    Hahaha, I have that same problem... That's why I approached Avenging Death with a more "minor" feel. And did Eve in a totally almost random tuning (at first blush of coarse) :) But yeah, it's a challenge to write in that tuning without playing Melodic Wings hahaha!

  • is goku? WTF? XD

  • Comment removed

  • Hey.. What's the deal with "Tears behind the gun?" From You and Salvador Perales? At the end of the movie 2011 Wasteland I can find anything about that song anywhere. I have the lyrics I just want the notes.

    Thank you! Your awesome!

  • This guy sounds pritty good, but still i like Andy much more.

  • I CAN NEVER FIND LIKE TABS OR CHORDS ???? :'(

  • hey, are you gonna put your songs on iTunes. cause if you do, you got a buyer!

  • thumbs up for his hair!!!!!! :D
