[SDenvel]

You're a great guitarist, who's your guitar idols?

[PatrikRSM]

@SDenvel One pretty obvious idol is steve vai lol. he makes the same faces and it's heard in the music aswell

[LtMusicDude]

Don't worry guys it doesn't count your not allowed to use magic fingers when you play

[stuartgibb]

Thank you Daniel Owen, for being alive!!! :D I can never stop thinking about this song, even when I'm just walking down the street. :) I'm a guitarist too, and know the theory behind it, but it'd take a genie and fifty wishes just to attempt to match your magnificence! :|

[Zedferme]

i think he should have kept the flow and feel of the intro throughout the song,

but his playing is incredible

[QuotidianHegemony]

This better win.. I have seen a few of these, and I saw the winner from last year.. Yours is on a totally different level. Absolutely amazing.

[golfcartpro]

i just burned all my guitars, i quit.

[golfcartpro]

this is a good tune! i can't believe some band hasn't picked him up already

[ryno324]

Fuck... You're awesome

[ryno324]

Simply fucking awesome

[NephilimAndAerith]

How is he not famous??

[dragonman86]

@NephilimAndAerith hes youtube famous, i caught a whiff of this guy on myspace about a year ago, on the USU (unsigned shredders union) page. i was blown away from the start.

[bth360]

deadly!

[TtandCsVideos]

You made this song??

[stuartgibb]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! ^_^ And I've been playing guitar for six years thus far. :)

[Lerborn]

At 2:41 the guitar just Transformed

[Otti2000]

[BuCk3tH3AdZ0rz]

2:43 EARGASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[ToxicityPrisonCM]

[Erotomaniax]

Great!

[RG4EX1EVO]

[MetalMaidenMX]

fan of Ibanez,, like me :D

[molomix23]

i love his feel for melody, its fantastic

[zombieland420]

just fuckin awesome!

[wikired]

I really like this damn song.

[TRUBADORtv]

fantastick!

[mtgcollector2005]

dude got mad skinny long fingers that kindda looks like spider legs dude you are the man u are a gifted unique individual that should come out with your own album. your fingers kind of similar to a spider on it's web lol. No offense only appraise lol. keep the video coming dude.

[randypadilla209]

Very awesome technique and composition. Incredible imagination and phrasing, 5 Star all the way Daniel, no doubt.

-Randall Padilla

[alanti93]

God gave people fingers like that for two reasons: shredding guitar and pleasing women. My guess is he's doing plenty of both.

[Fluffypopcicle]

this guy is just...amazing. whether he is the fastest guitarist or not he is a virtuoso, that's for sure. it's good to see a guy who can shred around 48 nps and make good music at the same time :)

[TearTheRoofOff]

The note(s) that you hit at 2:31 to round off that section is one of the coolest I've ever heard.

[ustolemybeer]

dude you are number 4 on my inspirations list..

your behind:

John Petrucci

M.A.B

Dmebag

(in no particular order)

[jakas1018]

Kinda corny name for a song but its nice to see a technically gifted guitarist who hasn't let their abilities get to their heads and can still write good melodic sounding stuff and not just shred all the time, keep up the great work

[1E2Y3E4S5I6C7K8]

i think ill go shit my pants now brb

[NickSandt]

Badass dude!

[Darkforest92]

He talked to me on myspace lol. He said His brother i think made him start and they bought lots of DVDs and Instructinal Books of Ywigie Mamlestien and people alike. He Practiced alote and thats where it got him haha. Practice does make perfect!

[joppesmurf]

sooo awesome

[joppesmurf]

sooo awesome ^^

[erenoi]

i commented on the speed vid saying to make music.. i watched this and was impressed!

[Ciastek5000]

awesome man!

[Alex0Dial]

raping speed, no mistakes, original song.

..ownage.

[SAINTsoldi]

this guy rocks.. plays so good and this instrumental is so complete, very good

[LURTEVE]

2 07-16 = :0

[Peterwh1]

that was so awesome. need to check out more of his music

[Lerborn]

at 2:40 the guitar just transformed

[Danuet]

Those daddy long leg fingers bug me out!

[ttime720]

Holy shit dude, you are a freak. The skill that you have is just mind blowing.

[kibijit]

I'm pretty sure Shawn Lane is looking down from heaven thinking "I've found my heir".

Epic skills.

[FlamerLv100]

I didn't believe in God until I watched this video.

[oilkills]

Forty Eight Stars!!!

[guitarbeast1944]

zakk wylde fuck with a girl....

his girl fucked with vai

his girl fucked with hammett so on with every guitarist in the earth and this is the result

[oilkills]

Music to my ears!!!

[baksteen123]

wtf was that on 2:40 sounded awesome

[TtandCsVideos]

insane

how long did it take you to sweep that well?

[BuiltForSinBDM]

Fucking GODlike! Cant say anything else but keep on fucking shreadin

[chemorro95]

where can i get this song ???i have ares but wth its not there

[r1skate]

Steve Vai meets Jake E. Lee meets Becker, Friedman and MAB, with a few others thrown in. Must be nice to have Steve Vai fingers (maybe even longer), and have the ability to use them like that.

SWEEP CITY!

[petiethepitt]

He reminds me of a Cooley,MAB,blend with a Vai'ish Tone.Def a great player.

[FloydPink1987]

Es una verga el tema

[crumbleface]

how is this guy not signed yet?

[crumbleface]

How in the round world has this guy NOT been signed yet?? He should definitely be makin' albums and what not. He could go somewhere!!

[fishguru73]

What a master of melody and technique.

[fishguru73]

This is an inspired musician and his timing and coordination is a great example for the phrasing.

[niacocnod]

you're on fire... :) keep it up..

[OmniscientVirtuosity]

This is fucking greatness. This just inspired me to go out and write an entire solo album. If that damn Guitar Idol wasn't suck a fucking popularity contest this dude would be in the Finals at least. Just remarkable electric guitar ownage. Love this dudes technique. Check it youngin's... He plays Ibanez!!

[YocoN]

make more ^_^

[TtandCsVideos]

@YocoN i concur.

[stuartgibb]

Legendary! :D The chords had me singing "And the legend of the rent was way hardcoorreee" like School of Rock since the chords are the same, but damn this song is epic!!!! :O

[asdr3000]

can any1 tell me what guitar is that? and does he use jumbo frets and scalloped frets to obtain that speed?

[mulleygraves]

how can he play fast and still have a sense of melody, did i just have a stroke?

[SimonLandryMusic]

@mulleygraves it's not because you play fast that you do not have a sense of melody

[niacocnod]

@mulleygraves

practice practice and practice even moooooore.... ;)

[ellogovenah2011]

it was so beautiful until!! 2:39 lol ,,.....good...no doubt,.,.,but a tad much ,.,,but hes way better than me,.,i wish i could be that great as that...but all things in good time

[kingdiamond69]

Daniel can you tell us new fans who you grew up listening to?

You have some real sweet tone going on i hear a little Yngwie Marty Friedman and some satriani tone as well nice shredding man.

[AGreen112990]

jesus fucking christ....how long has this dude been playing?

[Dmoonicus]

Dude.. you need to do a lesson on how to play 1:46-1:49...that is the sickest sounding lick EVER.

[rapid287]

Awesome song, it reminds me of old nintendo games like megaman or castelvania.........

[AGreen112990]

I fucking know dude!!lmao its twisted

[brandondrum27]

1:52 Holy Shit!

[MrGoonstos]

Dude, what can i say other than WOW you are fucking immense!!!

[DaveMoustache]

Is that a megadeth shirt? :P Damn nice song btw!

[krabathor1]

What a melodic sweep. i love you maaaan!

[krabathor1]

steve vai is epic but not as fast as you! and you're epical too! This is unreal, man :D

[scootyman10]

Damn nice! Rock on!

[xxFortunadoxx]

What's laughable is that this didn't win the Guitar Idol 2009 contest. Don't get me wrong, the winner's song was catchy, but it was uninventive and immediately forgetful. This, however, was extremely inventive and extremely complex.

Congratulations even though they didn't pick you.

[Hezus3Christo]

@xxFortunadoxx you said it best ... the winners song was somewhat catchy but immediately forgetful, a whole year later and im still coming back to this vid ... shame dan doesn't want to come out with any new music or vids...

[98723123]

Ok that was amazing

Next Steve VAi

[scootyman10]

Very impressive!

[Jadeissoamazing]

oh lawdy i think im in love with ur skills ;)

[TheMcg4248]

Reminds me of Steve Vai, very neo-classical

[MA5QURADE]

you're very good. i love how you can shred, but actually use it in a musical sense. very beautiful piece, and thanks for not just saying, "look at me i can play a major scale really fucking fast, but i can't do shit musically"

[TooMoLeft]

Wow!  Great sweeps!

[artoffighting06]

WTF?  :O respekt!

[holyturd]

an CD out yet? this is just amazing.

[P3313]

You need to compose more. This was very original and interesting to listen to. With your technical skills, you can pretty much play whatever you want. You just have to think it up. I would love to hear more. Great job

[ryry931]

awsome!!!!!!!! but did he write that song on his own cuz it rocks!!!!

[Dreadlord67]

1:34 eargasm

[tart9]

earjaculation

[inercia81rulezzz]

you`re fkng fast, but malmsteen has a very special technique, he`s a god, learn how to play be careful what you wish...if u can play that song, you`ll be my new idol xD... see you later!

[guitarsorrow]

very goooooood

[catwoman666hiyt]

omfg, youre a fucking guitar god:D comparing you to yngwie malmsteen, he's like 60, and havent made ONE think that can be called musical. just playing scales up and down in high speeds. But YOU, like 20? even better technique than yngwie, and have made this beautiful musical peace, which is fast AND musical, and you can also play slow and with feel and combine it with shred, youre an huge inspiration, pal. do you have albums? i need 1!

Subscribed.

[gismo901]

i think you shoud have won guitar idol.

[roblouw76]

[SAINTsoldi]

[riquelme64]

what i really like about his playing is that he dont play just fsat.he also plays normal speed things.not loke yngwie mamsteen.becasue yngwie mamsteen always just play fast

[kls4life]

dude, I've said some shit on your fastest shred in the world vid like a year ago, and would like withdraw that. Your melodic ideas are amazing.

[vickyhot]

I could have sworn that Jesus freaked out after he heard it

[carnalito81]

we listen to this dude alot. daniel owen you f**King rule!!!!-cxbx

[MaxBGuitar]

Beginning totally awesome. But this fast Malmsteen-sweeps don't fit here. Cool stuff although for sure! ;)

Great phrasing!

[hotgsxr]

You definitely should have won Dan. Jack Thammarat didn't have shit on you. You are simply amazing. Please post a video of your final fantasy song. The best!!!

[rayka]

wow. those long fingers give yo an  extra advantage. yo aso play some nice harmony and melodic stuff as well. I am HUMBLED.

[xlespaulgothicx]

incredibly clean!!! those harmonics are amazing!!! so clean very good sustain

[Fenderboy93]

Fucking awsome :)

How do you get that sound??

[P5ych00]

[doconer1]

Amazing!

[deadmenshitting]

[J0000OOOO]

the guy who won is about as good as herman li compared to you. and being herman li is not a good thing...

[HateCrew119]

wow man you are like, jason becker status

[tempjohn1111]

It's a beautiful thing to see the guitarists that grew up listening to Satch, and Yngwie, and Vai, etc., put it all together and make their own thing out of it. There is a whole new level now of technicality and flow from when I was your age. You own it. Great job!

[leviatan1001]

you are not human xD

I have a new guitar idol, Dani Owen!!!

[ozzy9691]

im switching to ibanez

[EnvoyFromHell]

Pretty god work!! a good sound, with fast riifs!! Good Tapping ... U are a masterpiece!!

[DarkNatasX]

RIDICULOUS!

[rapid287]

It is like from some old japanese arcade games, megaman for example, very nice

[kellylucas87]

ps how long have you been playing good job

[kellylucas87]

with all those ibanez guitars you would think he had a indorsment

[Texstorm2442]

he uses ibanez cuz well they are the best ;) best feel to

[bongolow07]

This song is badass.

[flyingbirdman]

awesome riding the magic guitarpet!

[nosmoking80]

i think you should have a guitar off with john petrucci!

[Xxguitarkiller77xX]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!

[NephilimAndAerith]

He would destroy Herman Li

[IMMABEASTYO]

Herman Li is an amateur

[xNoobFromHell]

this guys makes the best look so newbies hahaha.Pain in the ass

[AlvoTV]

rock on man

[Hezus3Christo]

i havn't watched this in about 3 months and its still probably the most awesome feeling wise and solo shredwise song ive ever herd ... Ibanez should stop waisting their time and sponsor Daniel ... the future of the guitar world.

[rexramjet76]
