Antoine Dufour & Tommy Gauthier - String Fusion

[AwfulDin78]

Tommy always grins and makes me grin lol.

[BradVSFW]

Certain things in life, like a great wine, an excellently grilled filet mignon and wonderful company give us an inner feeling of contentment.  I get the same feeling when I hear Antoine Dufour and Tommy Gauthier jam. It makes life complete.

[kereril]

Это здорово!

[flyingfrrenchman]

to the 41 who disliked, I'd like to see your mandolin/guitar jam...

[MrBlueSkyMrNight]

Looks like I'm in the right side of You Tube...

[whouston33wh]

Why have I never heard this before? Why!?

[DreamingOfJupiter]

didn't know you could shred a mando like that

[flyingfrrenchman]

@DreamingOfJupiter lol, he can anyways.... : )

[cleoniewood]

se pasan de verga

[teamplanetaudioben]

at 4:13 a very bad thing happens

[bretmaples]

@teamplanetaudioben Yeah the song ends!

[ewgadd]

I can totally hear Dave Mathews singing to this

[killergorilla50]

Hahaha, if these 2 were gay they would make some BAD ASS pies.

[gthim812]

@killergorilla50 hahaha they are already serving humble pie to all us musicians

[thotian]

Very nervous song. Again a great performance from these two talented guys!

[bboynuk96]

eeehm; album?

[lakerz199377]

this is epic

[NowThatsMuzik]

I recorded a drum track over this, like on an actual kit... HARD TO FOLLOW WITH NO METRONOME.

[jeffers133]

not insulting your music - but are you guys a gay couple?

[Neawx]

@jeffers133 Antoine has a wife, and two kids.

[iamjurell]

@Neawx To be honest, i kinda thought mr dufour was gay too, not that it takes away from his music in any way.

[TheMadRabbi666]

Lol id love to see these guys rip on electric, and just be like "well this is fookin boring:/"

[EdBogie]

Ahh, I love this. Sounds very Dream Theater influenced. :]

[xxxmen2007]

Nice

[BoDCheckov]

39 people were going to click the "Like" button, had an orgasm at the end of the song, couldn't see what they were doing and accidentally clicked "dislike".

[TheCreativeCrap]

39 have different musical tastes. Shut the fuck up.

I like this by the way.

[caffeamar0]

39 people are deaf and dumb.

[xHidemitsux]

39 people are retarded.

[invis19]

what time signature is this? lol i can't figure it out

[XenithMusic]

@invis19 5/4 and then an extra beat (6/4) for the end of the cycle.

[TriviumFan15]

This is a good example on how you cant fake the funk.

[TheDJNaylor]

I like you two mainly because you don't look like two musicians playing together, more like friends just chillin out to jam. Props:)

[impacthalo]

Wow Love it!!!!

[mynameissaptak]

the like button of 39 people's computers unfortunately dnt wrk so they disliked it though liked it!! after all who can nt lyk magic!! :-)

[Bloodcoverdreems]

i love how small that thing is :P

[FaithPassage]

Being a Antoine fan and now playing the mandolin myself this is a awesome arrangement!

[JJAtwood5]

2:16 , that resolution blew my mind. not many guitarists or even band can accomplish something as beautiful as this.

[Macoustic88]

pretty awsome

[JJHurley85]

I think I just funked in my pants...

[hmoy24677]

you have blown my mind away!! out of the ordinary!!!!!!!

Love it!

[willdabeast77]

fukin A

[SmokeMonster87]

*Dream Theater plays* guy 1: wow that's awesome!

guy 2: I know right?! You thinkin what I am?

guy 1: ...bluegrass!

[Comment0815]

Very fitting title!

[frazelle1]

lazy

[alexwheeler2002]

Seeing these too together is just plain awesome, the music they play (together and separate) is truly inspirational.

[heavymotion]

des essti dmalade !!!! ahah vrmt nice !!!!

[Tavernman06]

for someone like me who is a huge fan of bluegrass, dream theater, and newgrass..etc..etc... i must say i really am feeling the vibe on this piece!!!!

[danielfm24]

You are great! If you are ever on tour in Holland im going to the show!

[Ibakebiscuits]

epic stuff here. so awesome

[CeronDerBarde]

38 people don't know the meaning of the expression 'musical genius'

[justcallmejim]

that was rad!!!! it didnt have the comedy element like the 4 hands vid but this is a funky masterpice love it

[DuskY1991]

I think I'm gonna learn both parts someday!

Great tune!

[MrPandaHarassment]

he looks a bit like Dane cook......without the down syndrome of course.

ether way this was pretty bad ass!!! tabs?

[KnoffMan]

tommy gauthier looks like thomas lang.

[vinnypimentel]

souds like led zeppelin's four sticks

[TheWharr]

hahahahahahaaa! WOOOOOOW! u two are musical geniuses

[toodance]

every time i watch this, I become more deeply amazed

[TXjammer74]

awesome

[joeysstashspot]

There should be a support group for those of us becoming highly addicted to these guys and the rest from Candyrat Records.

[mjt11860]

do these guys have a dvd? not only fantastic to hear them, but also to see them perform.

[asuraac]

Amazing...

[Dratoon]

not their best in my opinion but that means little with these two.

still excellent, just lacking.. something

[boredwan]

lets agree to stop making shit jokes about dislikes or thumbs up on videos like this. Show some respect.

[MyMorningView]

hah look 38 people don't know music!

[gabewithafender]

i can definitely picture this in a movie!

[boredwan]

I love that every video I've seen these two in together Tommy is always pushing antoine to laugh and its soooo amazing to see antoine struggle the song with a smile. It's the best oxymoron and somehow makes his music even better

[flamebreak42]

Mandolin FTW!

[tasslebear82]

i love the way their kinda giddy at the start of it.. they're probably thinking "we're about to sound really awesome", and they totally do! its cool that their good friends, and i think it shows in their tunes.

[bachmorris]

I love that Antoine records in his pajamas =)

[daddyofone09]

You feel that??? That, my friend, is an eargasm!

[goatez80]

This song proves that these guys are from a different freakin planet!! I've always said I thought Dufour was an alien, and now I'm convinced Gauthier is too!! WOW!!

[TheSeungChanBeag]

P.U.R.E  E.P.I.C.N.E.S.S

[ViniHendrix23]

@randomcreations1 they have an album out together its called Still Strings...and btw its really good:) cheers

[Zman200111]

this is bad ass .

[sonofkikkoman]

[teracite]

just real musician :)

[mrsgmason]

wow, I love it!

[IIISoulxReaverIII]

fookin intense !!!!

[Timzsk8]

Dream Theater Gone acoustic

[cc00nneerr]

37 people were pissed that they werent this good.

[ynot69her]

for anyone wondering thats what it sounds like to put soul into your playing

[assassin309]

37 people don't know wat true music is

[cubanafrothunder420]

hoily shit i had no idea god played mando too

[adama980]

one winged angel take two

[DaveDFFA]

@adama980 ahahah it totally is!!

[BenShTurner]

So good even the camera was nodding it's head.

[LordOFThisWorld19]

I feel so stupid...I just realized these are those guys who do that 4 hands guitar on Jerry's Breakdown...herp derp to me

[shaldana]

Stuff like this is why I bought their CD on iTunes. If you're nutty enough to have not done the same, whatcha waiting for? Worth every penny.

[assassin309]

i think the best part was from 0:00 till 4:13

[adamezy]

i just noticed tommys on the left speaker and antoine's on the right.

[samtherealone]

@adamezy oh LOL thats crazy!!

[deathbforgot]

is it just me or does Tommy Gauthier play every instrument known to man and more?

[aboveheaven08]

@deathbforgot Not only does he play EVERY instrument, but he plays every instrument with such intensity and character that it would put god to shame!

[CeronDerBarde]

@deathbforgot every string instument, but i havent heard him play a harp so far, or a sitar. He could definetely play some funky style off that sitar ;)

[Gahir13]

@bobbyflay oh thanks.

[Gahir13]

Is he using a small guitar or his violin? By the way your music is beautiful, I'm a new fan.

[bobbyflay]

@Gahir13 thats a mandolin

[lterylandwk]

@Gahir13 He's using a mandolin

[tacticlespasm]

2:25 = fookin magic.

[arkaprovo100]

really hope to meet you guys someday and see your live performance,.,.,... awesome sense of music..... feel like being in an ecstasy after this music..

[pmorrow72]

Brilliant stuff.

[assassin309]

your music is so relaxing and especially since i am going through a hard moment in my life so keep up the playing guys

[svantskeejt]

aahh, this is great music. Keep exactly this up!

[envolopee]

tommy has a you tube, its his name without the space. they both have other songs on there.

[MGdirector]

Guitar+ 8 strings ukulele. Damn cool!!!

[envolopee]

@MGdirector thats a mandolin

[MGdirector]

@envolopee ohoh! Similar to ukulele sound @_@

[envolopee]

@MGdirector yeah man its all good.

[jonhesive]

This jams so hard.

[RadblasterRax]

Que clase de cabrones los hijoeputas estos! jajajaja, me hacen sentir que enrealidad nose tocar nada! y estoy terminando mi bachiderato en Musica.

[Brock2oon]

Check your links in the description, the first one at least is not working.

[Metallicrazy]

you both have great musical chemistry. I don't know what it is about your music but I can't get enough of it. I really connect with this

[BoDCheckov]

@Metallicrazy This is the equivilant to sex. Like, if everyone on the earth could play an instrument THIS is how we would find our life long partner right for us! ... ...>_> err, course that means these two would have to be gay but I'm surrrrre they'd get over it :D....yay music!

[GundamEclipzed37]

@BoDCheckov wouldn't that mean that the instruments would be gettiong it on? (O_o)?

[Seanuk]

you two evidently have a great friendship telling by how you jam together, and you both want to giggle like school boys! lol Amazing stuff, thank you .

[novatomex]

Wow these two guys are very talented, keep up the great work and music composition & performance, you have a new fan in me.

[borisfaley]

Браво!

[CeronDerBarde]

2:19 - does anybody else hear a slight blind guardian? :D

[EvanGri]

they really start heating up around 2:00 but love the jazzy part starting around 2:40

[Baltzy24]

@EvanGri thats not jazzy.... thats bluesy... I hope you havent listened to jazz before; you dont deserve to listen to jazz, for you have confused two COMPLETELY different types of music, so your loving something that isnt... how can that be?

[strangehero420]

@Baltzy24 i dont know man its pretty jazzy sounding to me, listen to the structure of the scales he uses. but then again i think the song may be called string fusion, indicating maybe this song is a fusion of a couple genres ( jazz, blues , bluegrass) so come on man, lets quit arguing about adjectives

[Koetje1978]

General comment,

Does seems sounds like that this classical song is played in a action comedy movie or something like that.

I love it so go on the with more good awsome stuff

[qzwxec14]

raw emotion... love this

[1treyton1]

fucking epic at 1:14

[zowers09]

[andybaum93]

[rcrouge421]

[Kickassmetal90]

This so damn good 

[MrParasite1]

[VicJLo]

YEAH! awesome, i can stay here watch this all day. I wanna see this things live, just chillin, have a beer and listen

[Derricisgreat]

dude.... that's all i can say.

[ThePikaTrix]

This song is so addictive.

[seggll]

they would be nice metal guitarists...but the fit perfectly to their instruments...so perfect that no metalhead or punk has the right to dislike them^^

[tman916x]

@seggll or anyone with a head on their shoulders for that matter!  :)

[chris78210]

Fabuleux

[kyther078]

awsome totally awsome!!

[AlexiLaiho6]

[sambate1955]

[muzikman1793]

@sambate1955 haha well youre in luck! There are a couple songs on one Antoines albums that feature Tommy and a full backing band. Seriously one of the most amazing things your ears will ever hear.

[yellow4231]

imagine if these two had a baby..... the second coming of christ

[IbanezDemon]

[samversluis13]

[scoobyfckndoo]

[wlchambers]

[MTRRproducties]

[Songoleti]

[RealityDreamStar]

Excellent, guys!!  I love it!!

[Foodie88]

[LegosPL0X]

Awesome, we played this in our Indoor percussion show. The Mandolin part sounds great on a glockenspiel.

[MrTruthseeker135]

chu flabergaster.....

[willsmith55]

[ashandjay346]

[ma2jh]

[airbag97]

you both are incredible

[LukGone]

I only have one question: where can i find your CD ! That was amazing...

[diabolojo]

@LukGone read description?

[LukGone]

@diabolojo In fact, It was more like a turn of phrase to say that's it amazing

[noir21b]

5/8 my favourite rythm...I REALLY LOVE YOUR MUSIC GUYS!!!

[jrlove16]

whats that mini guitar hes playing called?

[franserrano6]

@jrlove16 mandolin

[loverforyou1209]

Does anyone know why Antoine has the bandana on his guitar? Was that always there?

[Henders100]

@loverforyou1209 probably used to dry his fingers after each piece of music, I can imagine how sweaty you would get when playing in a studio or live on a stage, it's bad enough in the comfort of my bedroom. I guess it's quicker than keeping a rag in his pocket and it looks cool too :p.

[Kode1982]

@loverforyou1209 It's there to keep the resonance down from the strings up there. Or so he's said in interviews in the past.

[loverforyou1209]

@Kode1982 good to know...

[joffrey37]

What's the name of this little instrument ? ^^

[HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke]

@joffrey37 is it a charango?

[joffrey37]

@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke I don't have any fucking idea, i've never seen it :S.

[jorgejn1978]

@joffrey37 It´s a mandolina... i guess

[bobsaget401k]

@joffrey37 Its called a mandolin. -.-

[Outie1179]

@joffrey37 Pretty sure its just a mandolin with a sweet body.

[TheCorner04]

you guys play awesome and sound great, all your videos without exceptions are wonderful congratulations from Colombia

[HateWhatISee]

It's people like them that made great musicians. These guys probably just experiment to make things like this

[millerja75]

Awesome job!!

[Brunonetrix]

Muito bom, otimo trabalho, parabens.

[bluntonregular]

i would pay 180 bucks to see these guys rip it up for 5 hours straight ill tell you what. - hank hill

[StickerMedia]

@bluntonregular i agree!

[nayanika1000]

hats off 2 u guys!!!

[lucifer5502]

you do a perfect work!

[kladivous]

This feels like a jam session but is WAY to coordinated not to be composed.

[Claidheambmor]

It started off sounding like a jam session, but just after the halfway point it starts to appear co-ordinated. Though to be honest, if anyone could play this kind of amazing groove off the top of their heads, these guys could!
