[MrTyberious420]

@DoctorLongMuffin maybee he is already gay

[crookedgun]

@rayray66 how abt let him tap ur dirty ass

[richolishis]

So so butieful! I noticed that his ledt hand has hos nails cut and his right hand has longer nails for tap-struming.

[blaksephirot]

no really -.-

[juliagulia55]

Beautiful!

[juee34]

Encore une fois , tellement fier d'être québécois!!!

[itsmac420]

Websites are no substitue for the ear. In this version it is eg#bebe...one half step down from what his website says. On his album it's actually a whole step down (open e flat) from that. Doesn't matter really as long as the relative tuning between strings is the same.

[realtuber101]

if you pause at a certain part you see he has long finger nails on his right hand is that so when he strums it gives better sound?

[perryman333]

Not a better sound, it's for finger picking. It's like having a pick on every finger. Makes it much easier to strum really quickly.

[LeonardChrist]

@perryman333 Maybe you know, but picking with fingernails gives a better/differ sound. Think about it...

[perryman333]

I did know that, but the purpose of fingerpicking is leaning more towards the faster notes than better sound. It does give the song a better and crisper sound though :)

[LeonardChrist]

@perryman333 Yeah, but that's what his question was about. He ask, if it gives a better sound... Of course, your right. But you say: "Not a better sound, ..." Sooo

Eh Forget it :-)

[THEJo21Shua]

This guy is amazing

[anathema40242]

he's just awesome.

[normalsigara]

what is chords??? DAGF#BD ???

[Terrordrome79]

Incredible... Absolutely amazing...

It's a long time I didn't have the shiver in my back hearing someone playing.

[thisvicecity1]

Those kids with the santa hats on have just had their minds well and truly blown away

[iBrewsEasily]

Anyone know what tuning he's in ?

[StupidKupid777]

He's using the same tuning as the Centipede arcade game from the 80's.

[pianomanmty]

open F

[itsmac420]

Low to high:

EG#BEBE (Open F down a half step). I tabbed this very arrangement out. Took me 6 months to figure out how to play it and over a year to get it down. I still can't even come close to improvising with this technique

[Claymore1977]

it's actually facfcf, check his websites.

[marshallcruncher]

facfcf

[ZebMacahan]

sounds like there's a bit of distortion on this version? bad PA?

[dlyall]

Ooh la la.  Ou est la baguette ?

[Remantel]

mir vehlen immer noch die Worte

[Remantel]

mir vehlen die worte

[Crispeeee]

Absolute Genius to re-invent such an original way of playing the guitar ! I think he says something about Bow wow wow at the end but I don't understand french. Could someone translate. Just cus my uncle was the drummer in that band. Thanks.

[ibanezbloke]

His style seems to be based on that of Michael Hedges...

[bookhound63]

My hubby and both of my sons play guitar (I just sing) and we all think this guy is amazing. Excellent video.

[breeno91]

i think revolutionary is the word im looking for :)

[CUEcidofunivenergie]

wow

[diaryofanaxeman59]

The kid at 1:03 looks speechless

[dime0wylde]

holy fuck he is amazing, between 2:46 and 3:02 his hands are playing in completly different time signatures but still perfectly insinc. he is a master of the art.

[itsmac420]

Actually, it's still 4/4. If you break down the note structure, it's essentially constant 16th notes between two voices. I know what you mean though...it's like piano when two hands do something totally separate to create the total effect.

[theau61]

"les gens se lèvent debout..."

[jaiita182]

que genial weon

wow

[ZeriqViz]

french canadian

[thecookolsen]

Amazing

[eXoMets4Life]

Great Guitar Just Amazing!

[alexandermcknight]

Does anyone know how the guitar is tuned for this piece, its not dadgad is it?

[itsmac420]

FACFCF low to high...standard tuning for open F, but tuned down a half step to EG#BEBE. I'm working on transcribing it right now. I'm about halfway through it. I can't even believe he just makes this stuff up as he goes along.

[samtheman3000]

yeah its so insane how he improvises, I can understand how he does it though, with songs like this that have almost random harmonics its easier to improvise. doesn't mean easy lol just easier

[the6thstring01]

hi im really want to learn this song now and is the tuning the first one you said or the second one?

[itsmac420]

It's EG#BEBE (open F tuned down a half step). I actually fully tabbed this out. It took me 6 months.

[JoshSchofield21]

where are the tabs???????

[itsmac420]

I tabbed this version out in my notebook. I learned the last bit but haven't written it down yet (last 20 seconds or so). I actually learned it by first learning the version on his website...it's a nice tutorial. Then I used Windows Media Player to half speed this video, and between watching him and listening and a lot of practice I figured it out. I still can't improvise very well with it, but I can play this version pretty well. This dude's disgusting.

[ifartoutshit]

if there was a tab you wouldnt be able to understand it

[ndafuckup]

I would need alot of recorded guitars to sound like that. lol

[TimesaMyth]

I think calling him a hero is going a bit far, but he is really talented.

[garytwoshoes]

people can define hero in different ways, some people call a war veteran a hero while some would call their mother a hero.

[TimesaMyth]

He is a mother and/or a war veteran? Then I take back my previous statement; He truly is a hero. Completely deserving of the honorific which I so naively refused him before.

[garytwoshoes]

Well now you are just being a dick, I never called him a mother or a war veteran. I clearly stated that anyone can be a hero to someone. If you don't understand what someone says ask them or you will make an idiot out of yourself like you have just done......poor you.

[TimesaMyth]

Yes, it is I who is the dick; stupid, insensitive me. I will explain it to you. The "I think" generally means....'this is what I believe personally, and doesn't necessarily reflect the views of anyone else'. Don't get me wrong though, I'm flattered you feel my influence is of such high importance.

[RofICopters]

woah woah woah! what's with the hate? cmon kids make more with the love.

[garytwoshoes]

I dont feel that your influence has any great value to anyone, you where just being an idiot so I thought putting you in your place might make you wise up a little. So I am glad that my comments here have made you learn from your mistakes, no need to thank me for helping you see the error of your ways.

[TimesaMyth]

What are the mistakes I have made? Speaking my opinion? Get the stick out of your ass. We live in a liberal society, meaning, you're just going to have to deal with people like me. Move to a more conservative country if you prefer (I won't mind).

[garytwoshoes]

So in this liberal society of yours the best solution you have when someone disagrees with you is to suggest they move to a different country......that doesn't sound very liberal to me. I suggest you take time off from commenting here and re-evaluate your life my friend.

[TimesaMyth]

That's a tad hypocritical... as is this whole issue you have with my *snort* retaliation Here's my advice to you..take some of that homebrewed 'medicine' add a teaspoon of reality and shove it up your cock-hole where it belongs. I'm done.

[garytwoshoes]

Oh I knew you where done from your first reply my friend, its just nice to see you finally say it. It was fun watching you try to drag this out but alas I grow tired of you trying to appear smarter and more intelligent than you obviously are.

[ArkAngelHFB]

Congradulation... you just won the eqivolent of the speicial olympcis... nice. ^_^

[ppackers0430]

fag

[ArkAngelHFB]

who the heck are you?

I was just saying fighting over this stuff is lame... ether A you like the music and respect the artist for creating it... or B you don't in which case you should find something else to watch and stop commently like a little bitch.

[yourmumgavemehead69]

you a retard... im not starting an argument... but you are officially retarded and you shall die a lonely death with people peeing on your grave... by the way this comment is directed at that "self proclaimed" smart ass garytwoshoes.

i am done. and i win,. you loose. get over it and dont drag it on cause your gona loose. o wait you already have lost. you lost when you where born. LOL OWNED

[ppackers0430]

no, that was extremely lame... he won that argument without even saying anything to you

[Cminor7sus4]

losers should learn how to spell "losers". You loose? Yeah, you're done, and you win. I'm loose, like you say. You use too many O's, dude. Lern howta spel. Then comment like you hav a brane. Pepuls wl dig you. I'm jus say'n. - edwinson
