Justin Bieber - Slap Happy Guitar

[Penguin9796]

yeah this is pretty easy to do but you also gotta really feel the rhythm and a lot of people don't have any so......... he's good. but then he ISNT. i guess.

[piper4seeformerly]

Maybe amazing is the wrong word. but it was pretty good.

[TheChucho1994]

Greatttt !! 

[Bombadil1992]

Why does everyone think this is so great? He put the guitar into an open tuning and randomly smacked it for 30 seconds. If anyone here plays guitar you'll know that in an open tuning pretty much anything you play sounds reasonably good. Look up Preston Reed if you want to see how this style should be done.

[JTSKATE12]

what the fuck

[pitcrew93]

faggot

[MrPickles59]

Beautiful melody? He used open strings and like two other notes. I think MTV should feature real guitarists, like Andy McKee.

[parizekmusic]

damn if you do want to make a cover from august rush then try to make it good!!!!

[maskproduced]

why are poelple saying this is amazing O_o go listen to andy mckee to hear something like this done right this kid is a fuckin joke

[Liiezellx]

he's a hardworking guy, you have no idea! ;o

[tannersgirl1996]

Hmm.. I just wasted my time watching a kid randomly hit a guitar...

[BaeverN]

He hasn't impressed me until he does this

/watch?v=g3p0Qpwwydc

Moahaha!

[sleepcity]

Um....see Kaki King's "Playing With Pink Noise"  for REAL slap playing.

[MISSthegeekbabe]

how does he do that!!!

[EveryoneElseMusic3]

Little fucker copied August Rush. Cheating asshole.

[TheresalovesMusic96]

@EveryoneElseMusic3 yeah, that was the point , go on YouTube and everyone does covers of this , except is was kinda the best

[Aknight292]

but if he can pull it off like how its done in August Rush. i may be semi impressed. but this is just hitting a guitar.

[Aknight292]

ya i was able to do this nonsense on my second day playing the guitar. its not hard

[olmo2603]

this was really random slapping the guitar. he doesn't even now where to slap the harmonics and how to actually make it a musical piece. Now it's just a guy who happens to have some rythym, nothing special here

[Bloohimer]

I came here expecting an August Rush type thing. He was just drumming on the guitar randomly. ಠ_ಠ

[Eikova]

17-25 seconds....favourite part ;p

[AveryIsabella34]

if you all think hes so gay and talentless....why are you watching videos of him? O_o

[MarshmallowForge]

I dont know if you noticed but he's doing it wrong

[skatasterfi]

bullshit 

[BlackCherry360]

i would NEVER slap my guitar like that ><

[neblina2007]

dude!!!!! he sucks total balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he just slapped the shit out it, he should take lessons from Ben Konstantinovic.

[neblina2007]

dude!!!!! he sucks total balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he just slapped the shit out it, he should take lessons from Ben Konstantinovic.

[babycrazyforbieber]

OMG! HE'S AMAZING!

[MrPardalosOfficial]

@babycrazyforbieber That doesn't really take any skill.

He is not really playing anything with his fingers when he uses them, It's random.

And the guitar is tuned so that all strings sound nice together, So he just needs to slap ;) No skill.

[gladiators2037]

The guitar is tuned to a chord. Slap at the harmonics and open strings and you can sound musical too.

[itstoriomg]

i just love this. haha

[Penguin9796]

how did he do thattt>> like it sounded reall cool.

[rayawesum]

eat shit please :D

[DJK290]

@disneyluvstories

All I'm saying is this isn't that impressive. It's not hard. I'm not being full of myself, I'm accepting that as an average guitarist I can play this as well and BECAUSE I can as an average guitarist, that must mean by coefficiency that Bieber is AVERAGE as well.

[iEskimoPie]

@disneyluvstories ok disney luv stories, get any gayer?

[DJK290]

I thought I might actually get to see something cool, but all he did here was tune a guitar to an open tuning, then just slapped on it like a drum. no talent here. My six year old nephew can do this when I tune the guitar for him.

He's just slapping the guitar and thinks he knows what he is doing but really he's cheating with that open chord tuning.

[fanguitar008]

I like Justin BUT he is just olaying the guitar as a drum!!

[supwitit408]

This is seriously a disgrace to musicianship

[marcosrguez]

y la dificultad está dónde? eso lo puede hacer cualquiera

[TheNetworkCinema]

NO

[WellieLoves2010]

This Is Jokes :D

[aowen91]

I've got just three words.....major open tuning.

[Hungry4Film]

That smug look on his face when he finished...how dare he. Overrated insult to music is what this little wanker is.

[genievep]

Yer! U tell em disneyluvstories! I'm with u on that one all the way! Oh, and y forgot he can play piano, basketball, soccer, hockey, and he can do the rubix cube, and he rites sings and he styles his own hair and he can practically do any thing! So yeah..... Hahah

THUMBS UP! :)

[DJK290]

@genievep

1.) He doesn't write his own songs.

2.) Any monkey can learn to play those sports. I've been playing all those plus lacrosse and football since I was six.

3.) A rubix cube is not hard once you know the tricks. I learned to do them in an hour.

4.) The "moptop" is not styling, it's getting out of bed.

5.) Wait till his voice cracks and then see if he can sing.

6.) I play the guitar (properly), violin, piano, drums, bass, cello, saxophone, cajon, banjo and mandolin. Not hard.

[genievep]

@DJK290 I AINT TRYN 2 B MEAN IM JUST SAYIN! DONT MAK DIS INTO A FIGHT! :D

1)yer he dos rite most of dem but not alone

2) i ges any monkey can but Justins realy gud

3) im just sayin wat Justin can do not sayin it lyk hes da only 1 in da world dat can do it

4) yer it is stylin its realy hot

5) his voice has cracked & it maks me luv him even mor coz its sexy

6) no affence, but i dont really care if u can play them, coz idk u, so it doesnt matter wat did i say that affened u???

[DJK290]

@genievep

Not when you spell like that.

[disneyluvstories]

okay, you haters complain about the annoying fans but you are soooo much work. im sure thats a lot harder then it looks. he might not be the best thing in the world on every single thing he does but give the kid a break. i would like to see you sing dance play drums and guitar and grabs the hearts of millions of girls like he does. if you dont like him that much then stop watching these videos.

[DJK290]

@disneyluvstories

It's not harder than it looks. It is EASIER than it looks.

Look up open tunings and you will see why. He didn't fret a single string and it still sounds like a chord? It's called open tuning. Really simple theory and he just plays it like a drum.

I've seen far better from younger kids.

[disneyluvstories]

@DJK290 Okay dude, no one really gives a shit... if you and your six year old nephew are really that awesome then how bout you go get famous. Whether it is easy or not I DONT CARE. I can't do it, and if anybody showed me that i'd be entertained. There's always going to be someone better than him at something, but i dare you to go out and do everything he does. i'm not a fan, but i'm not a hater either. I'm just realistic and reality is you're a jerk who thinks he's all that. Get over yourself.

[DJK290]

@disneyluvstories

What the FUCK are you talking about. I don't think i'm all that. That's the whole point of my comment, you dumb bitch. I said I can do it AND it's not that hard. This faggot is just an attention whore ruining music and pretending to be talented.

I bet you can't even define talent, let alone be able to see it.

PS: Talent has nothing to do with success. It's how this smurf did it. He has no talent.

[BrutalGore11]

wtf?! he thinks he has talent?! his a crap!!

[m33ntozz911]

he only slap the guitar.... nothing else....

[Penguin9796]

but how do you.... im so lost.

[RandomoVideos]

You guys are idiots...watch this: /watch?v=AbndgwfG22k

THAT is how to slap the guitar

[RandomoVideos]

Anyone can do this...you just slap the strings and body of the guitar -_- you don't even need to play any notes -_-

[MrsLindcheng]

i can't do that. lol

[Sarconis6]

ikr wat a poof

[DefyingNoodles]

He's just slapping random notes....

[followdreams144]

wow this is amazing hes so talented

[HeartOfTheGun]

@followdreams144 Were you dropped on the head as a child?

[followdreams144]

@HeartOfTheGun no i wasnt . were you??

[ConnorShawMusic]

just watch andy mckee ...he is the youtube slap guitar phenom

[darkmachete]

Not talented at all. Give me my backpacker guitar or kramer pacer and I'll be able to whip something up so much better.

[IsMeOddball]

You justin bieber fans are blind he fails in guitar...

[LIJOfficial]

@IsMeOddball Shut up.

[briaana66]

he makes it look easy like its a piece of cake, psh sorry justin, not everyone is as amazing as you.

[DJK290]

@briaana66

Umm news flash it IS easy like it's a piece of cake. Ask any guitarist to do this after watching this video and anyone who has been playing a week or more can tell you how it's done.

[briaana66]

@DJK290 lol go be a smart ass some wear else alrite, umm news flash i dont care.

[JusDemSelFan4Life]

Haha,he is such a talented :D

Love his smile <3

[yummybumcrum]

weak. open tuning and hitting 1 chord and nothing else.... i don't understand theirs kids his age 10000 times better but will never be recognized because mainstream music now sucks

[lookinlikebieber]

Hm. He can tune his guitar to DADGAD and slap harmonics. Not too impressive. Let's get over ourselves, shall we Justin?

[FlowerPicKeR101]

love the smile at the end ;)

think iim in love

[PowerShotHo24]

he honestly is just slapping the guitar, not really any skill here, anyone with an acoustic can do it.

[angelgymnast]

@PowerShotHo24 I just tried it....and I failed. lol

[DJK290]

@angelgymnast

Want to know the secret? Go back to your guitar and tune it to an Open Chord Tuning and try again. You can do this is five minutes.

[brittanyrabold]

Ur playing guter and drume

[jallstars]

he just played 1 chord through the whole thing.....

[ChilyCheezeFryz]

wtf is this??? its a fucking guitar not a drum set!!!!

[angelgymnast]

@ChilyCheezeFryz It's inspired by the movie August Rush.

[ChilyCheezeFryz]

@angelgymnast >_> well then those people need to learn how the hell to play an instrument correctly

[angelgymnast]

@ChilyCheezeFryz if you would watch the movie you'd understand

[ChilyCheezeFryz]

@angelgymnast why the hell would i watch the movie?!?! if people play a SRINGED INSTRUMENT but BEATING THE HELL OUT OF IT, they dont understand ANYTHING about music...i would know...im a musician >~>

[angelgymnast]

@ChilyCheezeFryz Well if YOU WOULD WATCH THE FUCKING MOVIE YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND. Its a unique way to play it. just youtube that one scene from august rush. its like 2 and a half mins long.

And I'm a musician too, so it doesn't make a difference.

[ChilyCheezeFryz]

@angelgymnast oh wow! a "unique" way to hit an acoustic guitar in an OPEN TUNING!!! yeah, thats REALLY "unique"!!! how about a slap bass? you actually have to hit a note to play with that style, oh yeah thats right, he's only hitting ONE NOTE IN THE WHOLE DAMN VIDEO DUE TO A SHIT GUITAR METHOD!!!

[angelgymnast]

@ChilyCheezeFryz Does it matter? Regardless of what you think HE HAS TALENT. If you knew his story you would know that the only reason he learned how to do the slap guitar thing was because he was killing time before meeting JERMAINE DUPRI and then this video popped up. If you were able to play 3 instruments before the age of 10 than kudos, you have talent too. If not, then shut the hell up. Why don't you stop hating on a 17 year old kid and do something more productive with your life.

[ChilyCheezeFryz]

@angelgymnast so you just spent "x amount of time" figuring out the events of Justin Bieber's life, and not only memorized them, but used them against someone else in an attempt to win an argument about "who has more talent"...talent isnt measured in how many instruments an inivudual can play, but in their ability to play them with skill

[WataAtaCrackah]

Guys let's all just fuck off this kid already sure he sucks at instuments but let's just get back to our metal, rock, or whatever music we listen too

[RandomHero486]

hahaha "imidoinrite?"

[Scottmcrae1]

the drumming vid of him fair enough its skillful but this is pure shite. Someone with a very small brain could do this no bother. Someone with no musicial ablitly could do this no bother, someone without a brain could do it no bother aswell! He is a good drummer but he really should give up in this, its shite. By the way he is a shit singer too.

[RandomHero486]

@Scottmcrae1 he is NOT a good drummer. STOP spreading lies like this.

[ipoodaily]

ur not playing even harmonics. dumass ur just hitting the strings quit acting like a fingerstyle wannabe and ill respect you if u can actually play asturias, a calssical guitar piece. dipshit u probly think growing nails as a guitarist is weird. thats cuz u don know shit bout the guitar. damn we all wanna kick your ass right now

[mashafasha5]

That's not a beatiful melody LOL. If i had the same resources he has I'd be fucking Mozart.

[casishul]

To hype this as talent is an affront to the hard work of any even moderately serious student of music.

[0103cookie]

AUTOTUNED?



[DrRubblez]

That was shit. Don't thumb me down because its just an opinion. This isn't impressive. I could do the same thing but i wont get many thumbs because I'm not famous.

[IamTheRedneck]

the guitar is tuned to a major key. no matter what you play itll sound good

[jvspinoza]

migue do caranba

[456AmazingSisters]

He knows how to do dat!!!!!! He iszz gudd

[bieberfevveerr]

that was amazing . actually .

[DJK290]

@bieberfevveerr

Umm no I can teach anybody to do this in five minutes. It's called Open Tuning.

[21janina]

this one's shorter and different from his other video

[metachozo]

ok...annoying as hell~

[m11thebazile]

of course this is not amazing and it's not hard to do but good job anyway

[Agnesss7]

awww! *-*

[KurtVachon]

dude, anyone can just slap the crap out of a guitar.

[Biebersgirl24]

@KurtVachon Well, dude or chick.. Ive been playing guitar for 10 years & I cant do that, It takes skill to make it into a beat & have a melody to it. So no, Not anyone can do that, (:

[RoarsFresh]

@KurtVachon Yeah but not everyone can do it well... give it a try and see if you can come off as well. If you have any sensibility or basic logic at all, you'd probably admit he doesn't suck. At least for now, of course he can get better, but who knows what will happen.

[crazylikelazy]

@KurtVachon Actually no, while strumming ? and sound THAT good, Honey post a video of you doing that Lets see(:

[DWdrummerA7X]

@crazylikelazy Do you even play guitar?! THIS IS GARBAGE! A FUCKING BABY CAN DO THIS SHIT!!!! J.B. IS A COCK SUCKING BABY FAGGOT!!!!!!!!!

[crazylikelazy]

@DWdrummerA7X Aw Dont be jealous, :) And yes i did. 1. If you dont liek him why are you watching his videos? :O! 2. Your an idiot. 3. Post a video of you doing this i wanna see it. :) THEN we'll Talk shit. KAYTHANKSBYE:)

[RandomDetritus]

@crazylikelazy You're an idiot. Not, 'your an idiot.' Oh the irony.

[DJK290]

@crazylikelazy

He doesn't sound good at ALL.

It's called opening tuning. All he had to do was cheat by open tuning and slap the guitar strings like he were playing the drums. No talent here at all.

If you knew how to ACTUALLY play guitar you would know all of this already.

My six year old does this for fun when I tune the guitar to an open tuning.

He is not fretting any strings and it still sounds like a chord? It's called OPEN TUNING.

Nothing fancy here. Just some kid trying to look cool

[Iluvvampires4eva1]

@KurtVachon And actually make it sound like music with a beat and not just someone hitting a guitar!

[casaroli]

Now, work on that harmony and melody. Open strings is just bs.

[craisslayer]

haha not trying to insult him but tahts not very hard to do. hes basically playing the same chord (e flat major) over and over again while drumming on the guitar.

[EnaraNumberOne]

Amazing :O

[ACFP]

this is fake anyway, i play guitar and that shit is fake

[HartEvans]

@ACFP no it's not, you just have to tune the guitar differently

[PinkTiesAreBloody]

@ACFP sounds like the entire guitar is tuned in E major xD

[flakerpower]

@ACFP Please search for "Andy Mckee - Drifting", that´s not fake dude, just another "way to play" the guitar, of course Andy is waaaay better than Justin...

[ACFP]

@flakerpower

ive heard him, he's super good, justin isnt

[autumnbluez]

shit this kid is getting to much credit for slappin a guitar

[TheAfterIife]

@autumnbluez Agreed. You just need to slap... if it's a good acoustic with steel strings then it will sound good, as shown in the video. No skill whatsoever.

[selenag0mezr0cks]

cool

[BlackoutOmega]

Slapping a guitar is so impressive X3 i luv him so much hes soooooooo cute jb 4 life his guitar slapping skills make me horny

[picklevai16]

@BlackoutOmega

how old are you? 12? 13?

[BlackoutOmega]

@picklevai16 i am 8 wuts it to u ashole al u doo is mak fun of jusntun beaver and hes guitar slapping skils

[picklevai16]

@BlackoutOmega

i just think it's funny how you little girls think this actually makes him "talented" yeah, he's a decent singer, and an OK guitar player, but this pretty much shows him as being a douche bag. "oh hey little girls i'm justin bieber and i can slap a guitar. i'm a badass." oh and the fact that you're 8 makes your first comment just a bit weird.

[BlackoutOmega]

@picklevai16 The fact that you didn't notice how my first comment was pure sarcasm and mimicking some stupid fucking 9 year old? He can slap a guitar that makes him so awesome too bad his balls haven't dropped.

[pathsounds]

All I have to say about this video is

What the fuck has the world come to.

Shit, I should've uploaded myself doing this when I was bored and couldn't figure out how to play guitar when I was like, 8.

Could've made millions.

[maisyre]

wow i cant even play the drums lolzx love u jb.x

[barbieful100]

hes so talented

[crazzydemi]

cuuuuute aand sweeet :-*

[dandyboykb]

just hitting random shit, just search guitar slap on youtube and you will see some real shit.

[Lifey10]

HOLY SHIT,, how does he do it.

[TranslucentPlenum]

@Lifey10 He hit a guitar in a bunch of different spots in an open tuning... it's not really impresive if you know what the fuck you're doing.

[1Glockenspiel]

that was amaaaaaaazinng

[mojo810]

Not hard at all.... Seriously. Tune to a open tuning, then slap the body and the harmonics as if it's a set of bongos. Not hard. ANYONE could do it.

[akkadianno]

@mojo810 do it, make a video doing it.

[picklevai16]

@mojo810

i agree. this is the easiest thing in the world.

[picklevai16]

well he's slapping the guitar as if it were a drum... somethings not right.

[amanda22296]

that is really cool

[Assassin0798]

1. fail 2. wish he was dead 3.even auto tone cant fix his talentless ass

[AceAvena]

pretty good!

[Athsla]

@AceAvena Not at all; it's too easy to do that, he is in a open tuning and he just slap and let ring the harmonics, easy!

[PacoPateros]

*Metheny I mean, I missed a button

[PacoPateros]

I understand... I can see the new Pat Methany comming up, and is mixted with Louis Johnson!! oh yeah, get a life you all, you've time yet (and I don't wan't any one saying I'm just a jerk sitting all day in front of my laptop. I'm a scientist and musician, and I'm not comparing myself to that guy, but I won't change my life with him... I've got something called pride and better things to do than earning money to expend in nothing...)

[kateyrox365]

At the end he's like yea that's how u do it right there lol

[Silentkanify]

Faillll

[katiekatie95]

this is so awesome

[TheGullNewman]

Petteri Sariola will own him!!!! :D

[cakecup666]

ll this sounds so bad o0' xD

[Motown199]

that was bad.

[FALLOUT3bitch]

god my grandpa would kill this fucker if he did that to his betty

[TheReverendsFollower]

........Just spent 10 minutes writing an amazing explanation as to why Justin Bieber has no musical talent at all. It was erased from my itouch when I hit send..... Long story short, tuning a guitar to a certain chord and slapping the strings randomly takes absolutely no skill.

[flakerpower]

.... Please... see "Andy Mackee", that dude can do this shit THE RIGHT WAY, Justin, you can´t, sorry...

[Mikeyski4]

THAT'S PLAYING GUITAR? That's called drumming. Shit.

[WazzaBrent]

Agreed, he has some talent, he doesnt stand out with a single of those.

[CDRdot]

he just slapped the guitar, I don't see anything special on this

[funkytanky]

play guitar like drum....

[live2smile26]

haha thats amazing. i cant even play the guitar by itself. justin bieber is truly talented.

[MrBoumba]

What the fuck was that?

[THlover1000]

That was soooooo cooool my lil bro would love to know how to do that!!!!!!!!!!

[NPC919]

Eric is spelt "Erik" actually, sorry.

[MrScant94]

@NPC919 Spelled is spelled "spelled" actually, sorry.

[NPC919]

@MrScant94 Ohhh snap.

[NPC919]

Jesus christ... Grats, you hit a guitar. I can see what he's trying to do, look up Eric Mongrain... But fuck, this shit is just patronising to watch.

[andher3]

he its a fucking idiot , i can do that all times i want , all the girls just like him because he is famous, but in the real life he are a little weesyling voice kid

[3fashizzles]

@andher3 u have bieber fever. if u take ur friking tiime to leave all these stupid comments on his videos u also have bieber fever u hate him with a passion and girls love him with a passion. okay? so just leave if u dont like him. and girls dont just like him cuzh hes famous ----sexist----- hes real hes not auto tuned and fake he is grateful and he isnt stuck up.........stop trying to judge people.

[xJoseexVidzz]

HAHA so cool ! :)

[M4Ty1]

come cavolo fà?

[uncre8ted]

Lol! What a talentless gay-tard. Can you say: Open E tuning?

I like how he tunes the guitar to a chord so it sounds like he's doing something good. Try it in standard fucking faggot. Or try actually playing it. Oh yeah, I forgot, y
