Billie Jean - my "insane" guitar version

[fretburns]

awsome,,really enjoyed that! well done dude!

[bramgauw]

Great playing! Just don't understand why u had to speed it up.... this would have sound awesome too at normal speed!

[MrTroyswann]

holy fuck fatman with a guitar, thats good!! :)

[Sissorlove9870]

he was playing so slow and the music was fast that is talent

[TheACDCsuperfan97]

hey bro can you send me some tabs please

[StoneUchiha]

FUCK YEAH!!!!

[dieunous]

Great instrumental, but who could sing the words this fast? That would be interesting if someone could sing Billie Jean this fast. But this is great music.

[kcVIP]

Mute City meets Billie Jean

[RayzerKrait96]

Just a reminder.. the thumb DOWNbutton ist not for DOWNload this song =)

[Chiefsplayr17]

Daaaaaaamn

[kdmason]

[DebyMJ4e]

It made me crazy!!!! I love it!!!!

[fourskiff]

Nosssa! O cara é muito bom....

[eatcomics]

I could hear billy jean the whole way through... dunno what that one dude is talking about....

[1313RAH]

If u like good acoustic guitar skills like this check out the song MEDITATING MELODY or SOULMOBILIN search it both are first ones that come up :D

[GodsentHellraiser]

And that, ladies and gentlemen.... Is how babies are made.

[SuperMRHaloman]

i didnt think it sounded much like billy jean most of the time but either way it was still EPIC ! nice one =)

[AlGreeco]

gj

[migthegreek]

At 0:46 he went to grab the whammy bar but didn't find it.

[MaleficusForte]

when he adds the filler notes in between the lyrical parts, it sounds like a part of the 90's xmen cartoon theme song

[MarceloLunard1]

man, you're the best of: sick! stupid! ignorant! #WTF #MONSTER your guitar do have life?

[TheEssex1234]

genius..

[JohnLennon100]

awesome

[MusoJTM]

[v0Ray0v]

[dancer6971]

Stellar!

[XxLuigisMafiaxX07]

[JDiCiara88]

Very nice, but the applause track makes u look like a loser.

[rand0malex]

oh my god, this is fucking amazing!!!

[alsharpton666]

i love how at 3:09, you hear Michael give his thumbs up of approval by going "UuuUUghh!!"

[TheVishal07]

Holy Kobaowli..This made me Jizz in my Pants,freaking twice!!Awesome!!!Fucking Awesome!! :O

[clance13]

holy fucking shit!

[derrk]

I listen to this when I walk to the liquor store and moonwalk and mosh at the same time

[GollyWogCum181]

Hey man that is an awesome composition. Your playing is real tasty , keep it up!

[xfmkid]

Way better than sunga jung

[jchang911]

@xfmkid they're different styles of playing lol what are you talking about. sungha's fingerstyle is hard to keep the tempo because its basically playing bass and guitar at the same time. e. guitar is great with solo's and in my opinion is easier. sungha could prob do this and learn it in less than a week

[premedog]

thats cool

[NoAirPlayguitar]

wow this is cool ! very good idea and great playing !

[Tacuuba]

wow!!!!! Bravo

[alsharpton666]

[patyrocker99]

that's real insane.you turned a pop song into a hard rock one

[Linden91]

sweet tone

[tommyknoker]

Wow, this was great! The way you covered the lyrical parts of the song very much reminded me of the great mattias IA eklundh. He did a fantastic and similar cover of deep purples smoke on the water.

[mJDRIFTS]

killer TONE ! love it.

[linux666apocalypse]

jajajajajajajaajjaajaj es genial! q imaginacion! You are god! Yngwie Jackson jajaja

[CMDOOJ]

[goggleeyedhoe]

[6sad1and6loveless]

[poooo922]

WOW!! NICE!

[bblier]

Excellent ! But MJ couldn't moonwalk that fast ;)) Will always love you Mike.

[13cdsmith]

@bblier dont doubt wut MJ could do lol(but ur proly right haha)...GabGuitar is amazing tho(*****) five stars!

[sr20boost]

@bblier he should been able to with all the shit he was on..haha

[squallthegriever]

@bblier i am sure he could, since it is not that difficult to moon walk once u learn the basic, just it would not look as epic.

[VinPisapia]

Gab sei sempre un grandissimo! ;)

[da1ukeep]

Fantastico!

[c0e1m2569]

hahahah that is amzing awesome dude

[GabGuitar]

Thank you.

All I want to say is I don't speed up the video. I spent a lot of time on this version 'cause it was hard to play for me, but I'm glad that somebody doubt it 'cause it means that I have made a good job :)

When I recorded it 2 years ago I was thinkin' about a rhythm as mechanical as possible like a Fear Factory song and about the theme I've tried to follow ;) the ironic style of IA Eklundh, I've participated in his freak guitar camp on 2003 and I love his fab playing.

That's all!

[grandi]

up the tab :$

[marz411]

you can easily tell that there is no speeding up in the video. its all talent, amazing job! :-)

[elysium735]

@GabGuitar

You're a beast dude. Don't worry what any asshole on YouTube thinks, just keep listening to your ears, they're doing good work.

[ThereisNoGoingHome]

Fucking Superb!

[grandi]

1:12 fantastic

[Alleystalker]

GODDAMN!!!!! :O :O :O :O *Bows down to you* Teach me!!!!! I play Guitar also, I know talent when I see it, And this is talent!!

[MolecularHeinosity]

the video might be off a little but the song sounded great. Sweet shit mang!!!

[wienerbear]

Everytime i watch videos on youtube i promise to myself, i wont read the stupid commentaries, now i broke my promise, you´re a bunch of morons, when you think, this can´t be done. This fella here showed nice skills with this performance, and a good musical hearing, some appreciation please ?! This was really good ! Nice job.

[Ravlor88]

Well. I believe he did play this. He is probably a good musician. However, I think he sped up the video a bit and that is something you can easily see.

[dennybouy11]

offbeat

[zornischer]

absolut...

[Cybrggame]

what kind of effects do you use? and is that strat american or mexican?

[wihtikow]

dear god let there be tabs!

[Robbie664]

its good and all but i am going to stick with the origional

[fruc24]

it's amazing imo.

[pabloenis]

Super

[N0videosHERE]

*****

[dyey15]

i thought is was power ranger theme.....lolz

[nuaurea]

frickin awsome.......

[Ramontwente]

BillY Jean....

It's Billie Jean you know

I don't like it so fast, but you played it well

[Ravlor88]

Fast forwarding! Its a fakey!

[brrnay]

the backing track is sped up.

[Ravlor88]

The video is sped up. The twiching moves in the movie indicates that.

[brrnay]

i really don't think it is watch when he uses the whammy bar.

[Ravlor88]

Yeah, but watch everything else. Its a cool version of the song. But I dont think the video is real.

[Cybrggame]

yea you're right.

[WarBeastProductions]

umm....no its not.....the music would sound different

[Ravlor88]

WarBeastProductions: You can really say anything you want to, because I still belive it is a fake. Unless mr. guitar-player-man comes to me and shows me that he accually can. Really, I dont care.

[SzahnDhore]

Sound can be sped up without a change in the pitch. I'm not saying it is, just saying it is possible to do.

[alsdruivthnsdpu]

ur a retard lol its called skill

[SzahnDhore]

Personally I believe that the use of the word "retard" in an argument invalidates the argument, no matter how correct it is otherwise.

[witnessproductions]

ravlor..come on man

[Ravlor88]

As I said, I dont care, Its not a big deal.

[salsadippers]

well someone played it, its not completely fake, and besides, if you think you have the right to criticise lets see you do it

[Ravlor88]

Yes, he played it. I believe he did that. But it is still sped up. Ive actually watched this over and over again to be sure. And yes! I do have the right to criticize. I have the right to an opinion. Just as you have the right to go to my videos and criticize them, and I welcome all opinions you may have of them. Bad or good. But just because I have opinions It doesnt mean I can do the same thing. The best example of that is the tv-show "Idol".

[HEREoverHERE]

There is no evidence of it being sped up. The background music is simply played at a higher tempo.

Saying it's "sped up" is not critcizm, it's an accusation, and it's not right

[Ravlor88]

There is no evidence of it NOT being sped up either. However, I am willing to take back my words. I have spoken with friends for their opinion and they changed the way I saw the video. I just wished that GabGuitar could have commented about it and confirmed that I was wrong from the beginning. I would have believed him if it came from him.

[TrailerFreak100]

EPIC :D

[Gazi2546]

great man!

[keyblademaster99999]

put this version up for download

[RapMasterish]

Focking awesome

[hutch1979music]

Great technique bro, but why do so many lead guitarists just want to go fast? It's not a race, and I'd be more impressed if you could make me feel something. Malmsteen, Vai, Dream Theatre... It just blurs into meaningless, repetitive shredding after a while.

Swapping groove and feel for technical fireworks doesn't make sense to me (I always thought music was about communication, not showing off), but the fact that I don't get it doesn't make it bad. If it makes you happy, go for it.

[04394]

its an individual taste of music *!!

[Iwannakillmylandlord]

On a cheapo mexican strat too... not bad.

[marquez0123]

frickin awsome u should post another version at the same speed as the real song for comparison

[angrygoldfish]

Brunetti FTW!

[TheMagicLeon]

This is so soo soooo amazing...This is one of the best guitar play I ever seen !!!!!
