Syu - The Awakening

[OTATre]

i only wish he used his pinky.

[005E500]

Asian level

[donottawaguitar]

do they call him Bruce?

[speedybagal]

@0:00 = FLICK YOUR PANTS FIRST BEFORE PLAYING!!

THE SECRET TO SYU'S TECHNIQUE!!

[DjAironou]

a days ago a friend tells that he is way better than Mr. Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix , i think syu is a great guitar player but.. what the fuck is wrong with the people that put he before clapton and hendrix?._.

[Q8tiScorpion]

@DjAironou I agree with you .... to SOME extent ...

Hendrix should never even be in the top 100 .. his playing is soooo boring and no hint of feeling.

i can't believe some people consider him the best. HAHAHA !

where's Yngwie Malmsteen ? ... where is joe stariani ? .... where is john petrucci ?

if anyone really think that hendrix is better than any guitarist after him .. i think they officially have no ear attached to their heads.

Yngwie malmsteen's fart is better than hendrix's solo's ;)

[MeinKomponist]

@Q8tiScorpion You totally forget that Hendrix was way before Malmsteen and all the other players .. he started it

[Q8tiScorpion]

@MeinKomponist i am totally aware that he started it all .. and i respect him for that.

BUT ! ... that doesn't make him a better player than those that i mentioned.

it doesn't take a genius to figure that out .. it's easy... just choose your favorite hendrix solo ... and then choose ANY solo from the guitarists i mentioned.

you'll notice that hendrix is soooo overrated.

but as i've said .. he did start it all but .. he simply isn't better than any of them.

i'd like to know your thoughts on this

[cryan5280]

@Q8tiScorpion What are you talking about? Hendrix has alot of feeling dude and i respect him. But yea hes nothing compared to those guys

[fatalSolo]

LoLz he is Hacking... Lolz :D

[menteur4444]

Fuck !!!( Right Hand )  0:40 !!! WAK!!!

[ZaifoTube]

Why do people always mention irrelevant names on videos of great artists? and those stupid names take a spot at the top comments?

[AirsoftLife]

I've played this before, it really wasn't all that difficult.

Oh wait...I was dreaming...

[TonyThrash94]

Wow. I LIKE the way he uses the harmonics!

[johnhrey52]

All I can say is "Damnit Man"

[TrollandDie]

Chuck Schuldiner, Jeff Loomis and Jeff Waters made me interested in it but Syu is the final reason: I want to learn guitar so badly now!

Of course, I know reaching this standard of playing is a bit unrealistic but there's so much good content out there that makes me want to practice.

[relinquishedfate]

@TrollandDie Yeah, it's awesome cause it's something you'll never get bored of doing. I'm only just reaching this kind of ability now after many, many hours of practicing early in the morning.

[qu7aker]

@TrollandDie dont worry bro we all sucked hardcore when we started out, practice everyday and put your heart into it and you can pull this off too. I mean i sucked at tapping when i first started off and it may not sound like a whole lot but i can pretty much do and play anything with that technique now lol, all i just have to worry about getting my sweeps up to speed.

[Aerosmith589]

God, that tapping solo is righteous.

[TheSonofInnocence]

His pointer finger always freaks me out. Although it freaks me out slightly less than how good he is.

[doreezy]

look what he does to that thing !!

[KismetReaper]

didnt think god was japanese

[CheezeFox]

48 people hit the dislike button

48 thousand people made a stupid joke about it

And at least 1 person is now questioning why he bothers to read Youtube comments...

[Fwibbib19]

Does anyone know model of ESP this is?

[HellRazor81X]

@Fwibbib19 it's his custom model...just search for ESP syu model and you should be able to find it, his guitars are pretty sick.

[redwolfimmortal]

@HellRazor81X Its called a Crying star - Rebel.

[xXMusicxMadnessXx]

Harmonic madness

[r2d2slipknot]

HERMAN LI IS A SHIT

[eveningninja]

SYURIOUSLY

[darkshredder95]

syu is my favourite guitarist and for obvious reasons. he kicks ass and i love his tone!!!

[imimaginingchaos]

*replay button*

[jackyxx4321]

46 people try to use their picking to play this song.

But they fail..

Cause they can't tapping.....

[luixmedia]

0:23 O_o!!

[MrGoodrape]

I don't like his tone in this video, but he's one of the best guitarists i've ever seen.

[nevermind7777777]

歌のないこのインストバージョンの方がいい。

バンドよりインストアルバム出した方が注目集めるんじゃないかな­。。。

[duff123bass]

i think gentaru have a better picking technique but both guys play great

[ArcticaPower]

his guitar looks strange, but awesome :D

[bluearch5000]

Epic dam cooooooooooool ;)))))))))

[60millionaire]

how about making tabs ? (A)

[MarcioMetalleiro]

this can be for an megaman X hmm... intersting

[Hertsman50]

wow he does like his tapping...lol

[GilbertFan101]

I really don't like his tone. Great playing, but the tone kills it for me.

[AoNoKimochi]

How many strings would this guy break a week...

[ReDRoCketGuitarBoy]

when he used the tapping i thought my phone was ringing

[danieldeerejones123]

@ReDRoCketGuitarBoy my friend that is a easy mistake to make i awnsereed my phone......

there was no awnser :L

[StreetSoldier88]

When he started tapping I though that was sick enough, then he kicked it up a notch. I'd kill to play this good.

[Aerosmith589]

The tapping session at 0:26 is sick.

[Juggernaut485]

more early 90's jet fighting video game music :)

[stonamonkey]

Syu is THE Guitar Hero.

[dirtydonki]

With masters like this on the planet I don't know why I bother.

[feaky44]

@dirtydonki to bloody true :/ but he was at our stage one day

[qssee1234]

whats he been fingering....

[voices0690]

ese wey si que quema la guitarra

[xXvtbossXx]

Rabeta!

[metalman1a]

why does everything in Japan revolve around video games? even the way they play their guitars sounds like a video game

[Cavator]

@metalman1a Said metalman with a straight face.

[thestalkingbutlers]

@metalman1a You should look into their jazz scene then, it's quite popular over there and doesn't sound like a video game at all.

[Beltrantilli]

@metalman1a I think that this is they type of music thats why the video games sound like this

[r2d2slipknot]

@metalman1a it sounds like megaman xD

[mirrorpiece]

@metalman1a Masterful Music is Masterful Music. Even some great NES 8 bit games have great soundtracks.

[mangafroster]

@metalman1a More like why do the video games always sound like epic gutiar solos ...

[thralldeathh]

@metalman1a new final fantasy boss battle theme?

[eveningninja]

@metalman1a I'm so glad. Video games are awesome for a reason =p

[gzmgzmgzmify]

unique performance

[jordzkie05]

is it me or syu uses too much effects to cover how dirty he's playing? no offense.

[Lmeijers]

@jordzkie05

it is you. he's playing great.

[noobcentaur]

@jordzkie05 no his playing is clean,, look at his old vids demonstration

[nandy9285]

@jordzkie05 no offense taken coming from a syu fan, but it sounds great to me \m/

[solidiquis1]

@nandy9285 Found you

[solidiquis1]

@jordzkie05 The only effects I can hear are the reverb and distortion.

[boblacolle]

@jordzkie05 If you are referring to the intro, its cause he pinches harmonics on most of the notes

[n4d35hk0]

I think i'm inlove

[noobcentaur]

if you are watching this vids,,look at at the upper right section,,you'll see an ape,,

n syu, youre the best ever

[JayEm225]

what dvd is this??

[illr34pyou]

his girlfriend got fingered. she died.

[irmasil3]

Herman lee joined Avenged Sevenfold after watching this....

[Giftwrappedtaco]

@irmasil3 I don't think they'd even take him..

[rafaldb7]

@irmasil3 why Herman Lee...and why Avenged Sevenfold? xd....wtf xd

[Cookie666x]

@Lentax Syu >>>>>>>> herman li

[dcdeal001]

@Cookie666x com'on tell us somethin new

[Solitude075]

43 people don't know how to play like syu

[Chumbaweed]

@Solitude075 WOW that must be why they disliked the video! jesus....

[stickdude566]

@Solitude075 i don't think anyone who WATCHED this video could play like this guy.

[relinquishedfate]

@stickdude566 I can play all of it minus the sweeps.

[cminormusician]

and now that we finished the guitar drills.....



[ditoarch06]

what band is he playing for?this guy is insane!

\m/_

[ferdk16]

@ditoarch06 He plays in Galneryus (you should definitely check them out, awesome power metal band) and also has a side project called Spinalcord in which he also sings (only one album out so far). His main focus is Galneryus, and they released a new album not so long ago with a new lead singer which is incredible, check Destiny PV to get a glimpse of the new style =)

[ditoarch06]

@ferdk16 cool dude.. i'll check some stuffs.. thx anyway

rock on

\m/_

[oniuqajohn]

@ditoarch06 Galneryus

[MrSpirit23]

cool

[TheSyuFan]

this is SYUriously earth-shattering!! (no pun intended)

[ILoveHandles]

@TheSyuFan I don't think you know how puns work.

[JJTechnologies]

it's good technique but I can't see nothing interesting here - I consider it technique for the sake of technique

[Zudi95]

Lol, more views then the real song^^

[xJetStaR]

i jizzed so much i might not have kids

[Unas1]

I appreciate Syu because of how crystal clear his tone is, reminds me of Yngwie Malmsteens tone now and then

[gdpaniagua]

That nigga knows how to sweep! I need to sweep my house. Lates!

[suffocator666]

It sounds like a nintendo game!!! when you face the the enemy on the last level!!! AWESOME!!!!!

[des3223]

[R3TSU]

[Barashojo]

@fay2212

[ZuoCruz]

@fay2212 i don't think he has any since he never mentioned having one in his blogs

[Deleriumae]

The guy obviously has skill, but he should lay off the harmonics. Great sweeps and arpeggios though :D

[dethmomo]

[Bummersx7]

@LuisBlythe666 Ha true dat

[Metalpumpe777]

[yakuzunaa]

[jmk2990]

@yakuzunaa A Very good 1

[Skyp3rs]

the first seconds of the fifth exercice are just insane !

[palkgae]

@Skyp3rs no the 3rd excercise is hard

[Skyp3rs]

@palkgae yes I tried it, it's hard ya. But I prefer the sound and tone of the fourth and fifth :)

[kiteducielazur]

[hokumu]

[williamchop]

[JobForAMaxboy]

[levijones79]

[clwnz777]

@levijones79 as if anyone can tab this out....

[Pasukaru0]

Damn those pinch harmonics are damn awesome!

[haloseeker244]

every time i hear this i think of mario bros or some old classic 2d games

[Watonlyz]

i prefer syu in this outfit and without playing with his leg crossed like a woman lol

10/10

[DragonJake1995]

I will now play the tapping! xD

[chickenoncheese]

:O !!!!! OMG !!!! AMAZING TAPPING !!!!

[himaster234567]

i'm pretty sure it is a crying star which is his own custom brand

[jmk2990]

he beats Van Halen

[MattitudeEra]

Best 2 minutes and 29 seconds ever. The people who disliked this are probably deaf.

[sirchief1]

It is his own custom ESP guitar.

[psichomiko]

what the hell is that guitar???

[SSEF15]

@psichomiko I believe its a gibson explorer

[psichomiko]

@SSEF15 no i know its not that i think its an esp

[SSEF15]

@psichomiko well whatever brand it is we both can be certain that its an explorer copy, i know that much =D

[psichomiko]

@SSEF15 no cause explorers just go diagonal and only have one side that sticks out this has both sides coming out almost like a dimebag bit it looks like it has a single coil in the neck position and a humbucker in the bridge

[Meahalf]

@psichomiko It's some variation on the ESP EX guitar. Wouldn't be strange if it's a costum guitar.

[neoclassicalfan1]

lol bilbotitface guees but to through it back at u how do you known so much about penis size lmfao

[david20229]

[Lybaerd]

Now I'm confused lol, one person agrees it's sounds like shway and one says shee-u. I hate not knowing if I say it right but I always say see-u like shee-u so I'll stick with that.

[mortimer2100]

Thanks for the raging boner!!

[MRGSON888]

Omg, he is Awesome!

[Lybaerd]

So is it true Syu is pronounced shue, or shway, like it says on wiki?

[BeeLuvr]

@Lybaerd yepyep

[Zilpzalp]

@Lybaerd Shee-u, with the ee part being REALLY short.

[xlostxmemoryx01x]

32 people don't know how to rock out.,....... Band is sweet though !

[Giftwrappedtaco]

Is it actually possible to move your finger tip that fast? >:O

[stephanie5196]

さすがに速いな。生で見たけど、その時はコンチェの島さんの方が­僅かに速いと思ったけど、これを見ると、タッピングなんかは島さ­んより速いな。

[wardancer400]

@stephanie5196 Watashi wa watashi no sobo o okasa

[MysteryWave]

I just realized that all Jap uses exact same amp tone :P idk maybe its just me but all the guitar sounds same to me .. .

[somekid39]

[terrens123]

@MysteryWave I kinda know what you mean. Their sounds are much more distinct than the american tones. But I love it : )

[AndreeCynthia]
