Nicholas Barron - Devil Dog - www.candyrat.com

[pmgallant]

This guy's got a lot of feeling and soul that too many musicians are lacking these days. This is amazing.

[BaltoChallenge]

Lol, Laika brought me here

[shikharsrivastava7]

this is real music :D thanks

[hckycoz1]

I go to school for 6 hours a day and then work for 7 and the best part of my day is the ride home cranking up Nicholas Barron and forgeting every stress and nuisance that comes along

[birdiebarron]

Thanks for the love everybody! 

[Music4TheMan]

I don't think i've ever seen someone move around so much on guitar and still sound so damn good! =D

[SofieGuldager]

This man is Nice !!

[TheCanoerider]

I put this video in all of my playlists.. i hope you did it too.

[MsJessicaaa1]

what the hell happened i thought i was listening to andy mckee... LOL

[Mushdi]

the realmusicans dont hide, its just to hard to find them but i wanna thank youtube since 2006 i found someone like Nicolas barron

[andrewdewaal1]

Does he remind anybody else of Vince Vaughn? 

[ElectricTurkey1]

@andrewdewaal1 He's a hybrid of Vince Vaughn and Brad Garrett

[MrCires]

@ElectricTurkey1 LOL xD

[alexDphillips]

OMG w' a soul man i love it¡

[Ev1on]

Ya man ear Like tha Shit fuzzy ass dogy stille xD xD xD

[13lewisk]

blues isnt just restricted to black artists, this fella can play

[Paulwasnotavailable]

Whoa, hearing this just forces my head to shift back and forth. And my hand keeps tapping the desk. I'm not sure whether it's the music or perhaps i'm having some sort of weird seizure .

[kevj989]

What does black or white have to do with anything? He has soul, musical creativity mixed with talent. These traits are not confined to any particular race more than another. I say if he wants to play the blues then go for it! You wouldn't tell a black country and western singer to stick to reggae, it works both ways, open your minds people.

[2112BrunoYYZ]

he can sing so damn good while playing some tricky stuff on guitar, lots of talent!

[mechanapat]

put some water on em', that there fret board is smokin'..haha love it..

[dirttuner1999]

Good guitar...retarded performance. 

[Drakefem]

he's black eyery mon sometimes sunday and alternates the rest of the week ;}

[BARRAMANful]

Great voice

[crash020202]

Everytime I see this video it makes me laugh all the time from his face:o

[birdiebarron]

Nicholas Barron and the Transient sound players play EVERY SUNDAY night at TEMPLE BAR (3001 north Ashland ave) from 9:30-12:30. All drinks and food are half off and the band brings it every week!

[SinbadDHock]

vince vaughn play's guitar?

[smlak]

He's clearly the reincarnation of Howlin' Wolf.

[DarknessBlackness]

He feels every bit of this... and he's black. I don't care about his skin color, this guy is black. Lawd ha' mercy I was trippin out over this. GOOD STUFF.

[sandrock04]

You know I rarely like to watch musicians play their music but I can't keep my eyes off you.

[kooltothekore]

This is absolutely phenomenal! So reminiscent of Tom Waits but with less smoking and whiskey voice, which is a good thing. <3<3<3<3 I'd buy all the records

[NorthernKnight1000]

Great, no written lyrics to be found for this. Now I'll have to transcribe it by ear...

[indie1234100]

i didn't know Vince Vaughn could play and sing as well!

[MakeMeMad31]

this song remembers me so much of green river from creedence

[greengolfkid]

thats the bollox man. i never heard blues so good. uh

[haus05]

[daj0412]

[Derricisgreat]

if i lived in Chicago, i'd walk around the streets everyday hoping to catch a glimpse of this guy just doing his thing. that is, if he still plays on the streets.

[jharnum]

@Derricisgreat

haha, no he doesn't any more. he talks about it in an interview he just did. If you google Nicholas Barron and Interview, you'll see it. Interview is about how he thinks about practice.

[ShaneWreck]

1:09 is classic hahaha AWESOME!

[santaready]

this is how i sing when i take a shower :D

great man!

[TechnicolourGandhi]

Some devil might be possesing some dog.

But the ghosts of BB King, Ray Charles, and John Lee Hooker are possesing this super fly white guy.

[captainretep]

Wait...I was looking for something Marine Corps. related...and I got this?! I am very pleased by this mistake. :)

[chowa4]

@captainretep Ha, same here. After I saw this I saw all these Candy Rat videos, then I saw Andy McKee, now I can't stop. Not ever mistake sucks, after all.

[gostros79]

Where is the "Love" button?

[idiotpastas]

can someone write the lyrics of this incredible musical piece ? :)

[BJOlson]

Anybody have any idea what the tuning is? Sounds like drop D

[JWDalsager]

@BJOlson: I'd say it's standard. I could be wrong, but I'm usually right ;-) 

[michaelloveguitar]

super video :-))

[michaelplaying]

great performance...

bravo..

thank you very much for sharing Bryanoverturf !

friendly greetings............michael

[coolmodine]

Great song man, but lose the dave mathews singing voice and find your own. :-/

[DAKMAIN]

@coolmodine Nice try. Dave Matthews don't have shit on this guy.

[coolmodine]

@DAKMAIN Except money and a larger fanbase.

[DAKMAIN]

@coolmodine ....another asshole that boils it all down to money. SHOCKING.

[coolmodine]

@DAKMAIN It's called being successful. You're out of your mind if you think musicians don't aspire to more than playing on street corners, bars, and youtube....

[coolmodine]

@coolmodine If you think the name of the game is something other than commercial success if you want to be anything more than a hobbyist or teacher, well.... you're an idiot.

[slywinkl]

@coolmodine kremt :) ima musician going strong 17 years listening to my guitar gently wheep :) and tbh stuff like this, you only become a mucian for fame money drugs and to be cool. its just not true, well not in my case and many other ones i kno :) when i play i play firsty for ME! why the hell would i sell my soul-work for a piece of useless paper with print on it o.O ? and to try oh so hard to get ppl to like me when ima leaving this place anyway? money grubbin, social status wannabe:)

[MiryChesstopher]

@coolmodine Maybe you should take a good ol' listen to Dave Matthews. Because this cat doesn't sound anything like him. If I was going to compare the way Barrone sings to another artist it would be along the lines of Ray Charles, BB King and other blues singers. So coolmodine, lose the youtube trolling voice and find your own.

[rooflee]

Someone needs to tell this guy he's white.

[crispyctitterz37]

@rooflee Color has no boundries when it comes to ANYTHING! Music over the years has shown proof to this. Now for my ? Can you do any better? If so, please post your responce in the format of MUSIC only. I'm sure there will be no responce of that type.

[rooflee]

@crispyctitterz37 I'm guessing you're one of those overly sensitive black people who try their hardest to take offense to everything? And if not, I might ask what your problem is. My comment regarding colour is a compliment if anything. This guy sings like a black man, and I LOVE IT. Get it?

[IagoHiei]

@rooflee EHSUEHASUH he is awesom ; )

[Tolusca]

@IagoHiei Fuk iu, dudh

[Paulwasnotavailable]

@rooflee Ahh babaaaa, there is not rush... We should all leave him be for the time being :)

[smgman13]

@rooflee Or just tell him "you have the soul of 100 white people". Unreal! haha im white too soo dont judge ya

[jackbyrnes86]

Daaaaaaamn! That was crazy good! 

[Pukrysa1]

Really awesome!! Brilliant job!!

[KingKoboldMcMarco]

Elvis revival! :P

[jacecrawford]

um . . . . either that is a half size guitar or he is 6'7 250

[OnkelOtto7]

He plays a Stonebridge guitar - model 22 CM D. Artist list on the Stonebridge guitars website. These are hand-built guitars fro the Czech Republic, marketed as Furch guitars there, and Stonebridge and Stanford guitars in the US/Europe.

Check out (no pun!) Roger Schmidt on You Tube playing Driving in Paris, and Four Hands Guitar by Antoine Dufour and Tommy Gauthier, for other artists playing Stonebridge guitars.

[babaluboo123]

Is this straight accoustic?

I love it, but thinking elec. accoustic would make it even better.

[floydfloydson]

ain't let TOM come out of the damn't guitar...

[pettersonf]

hey is there some kind of website where we can find out what guitar vince is playing there? p.s that goes for all candyrat players..

rock on

[Annihilation1919]

@pettersonf they are mostly baratone guitars



[EvCrock]

@Annihilation1919 haha, what?? lies and mispellings abound!

[vanbeekrecordings]

[TheJuliusJT]

sometimes his voice sounds like tom jones.

[Defy123456789]

damn ! this is awesome !

[vytioxaV]

[SocksInPanic]

He sounds like a miture of Willie Nelson and Doyle Bramhall II. Great Voice. And great guitar playing style.

[THolman1010]

[Slunn123]

[Somuchtoplay]

Amazing. Not much more to say, made my day.

[tman916x]

[guitar2heroes]

I usually play naked anyways.

[JoeLaFigue]

True ! but it is so good XD

[Splurgendii]

[mag8mag8]

this is how we all sing when youtube is looking!

[babaluboo123]

@Splurgendii lol. Got me pegged.

I take my harmonica into my ceramic tiled shower.

[KingKoboldMcMarco]

@Splurgendii

[MrPianoguitar]

@Splurgendii hahaha

[radgemasterben]

@Splurgendii especialy talent scouts haha

[NPC919]

@Splurgendii Sadly the same isn't true of guitar D: Wtf skills.

[forwardfluidmotion]

Who knew Vince Vaughan could play the shit out of the guitar?

[YouthDrummer]

@forwardfluidmotion lol i thought the same thing lol

[ieatfrenchfries]

@forwardfluidmotion hahahaha omg

[boogahed]

@forwardfluidmotion Vince Vaughan is his mother...I think Tom Jones might be the dad

[brianfurchner]

@forwardfluidmotion Now that was funny shit lol

[Hadrhune0]

@forwardfluidmotion omg ahahahaha!

[iamrobertpaulson]

I'm pretty sure someone has mentioned this but this sounds almost exactly like antidote.

[messierfan]

I love the guitar piece. Great voice too.

[sedziadread31]

hahaha .. if you don't look - he really sing like '' black dog'' . it's just awesome !! :D

[bohmaniac]

that's pretty sick

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Perfecto!! eres grande tío! Excelente!!! tienes el don de la música!!! bravo!!!!!!

[evanwoodson]

Anybody know the chords on this song?

[jabbamp]

WOOOOOOO!!!! DUDE!!! Now that's having soul. I really wish I could let something like that outta me :o)

[hflat1]

I'd prefer watching a guitarist that gets really into it than some shmuck who just sits there all cool with no presence.

[Vocoder07]

ein bisschen hyperaktiv, aber der sound ist absolut geil....

[sweden92]

No no, he is just connecting everything within the song. connecting soul,body and mind!

[sweden92]

anyone knows what kind of a guitar he's got?

[tman916x]

I think in this vid. He's got an Avalon. Looks like a Jumbo body style, but idk what model number.

[sweden92]

i think it is an as101

[noisecarnage]

he is Vince Vaughn!!!! hahahahahaha

[i1killed2god3]

wow...I forgot his name...but he looks like that one actor..holy jesus he really does...what is his name!? well i forgot...nice guitar skill BTW

[Alfons665]

you mean Vince Vaughn?

[loranalary]

Very nice brenner !... tsk tsk tsk...

why is it always those who criticise the most that have the less sense of humor?

you just prove me right by answering that way ... so just don't change anything , ok?

you are perfect as you are .

(Psst! look at the other comments , just down there .. and get angry .. lol)

[loranalary]

clone of Dave matthews??

my dear brenner... I'm sad to tell you this... but you are deaf.

and too bad for the rest of us you are not a mute.

stop talkin shit , I'm tryin' to listen to the song.. :)

[brennerLAX22]

wow i'm deaf and i never knew it, huh?

....

anyways.. maybe if you take a look at his mannerisms (grab your dictionary buddy) you'll see that he has a lot of semblance with dave matthews' stage presence

by the way, mind explaining what keeps a mute from typing on a keyboard, genius?

or how about how "nice stuff though, good music" qualifies as 'talkin shit'?

go flame somewhere else loroarnaoraly

[house1918tyler]

lame ass

[brennerLAX22]

safe to say dave matthews inspires him? almost a clone.. nice stuff though, good music

[poopyscoopy5]

Have any of you people heard of the blues? If he is a clone it's a clone of some broke black guy 50 years ago.

[Alfons665]

I would just love to play this song, but you just cant see, what hes playing?!

At many songs you can tell by the fingermovement, what he's splying..

But at this song its hard to figure out what hes actually playing.

[PeeGee85]

If I saw him playing in the streets I'd put him on my back and take him with me everywhere like an Ipod ;).

[Alfons665]

amen.

[Octahsquid]

This is amazing; He's like the guitar-playing twin of Vince Vaughn.

[quarentine99]

this is so kool

[Mnjumm]

Hey, can anyone help me with one of the Chords he is playing? It might be something like 3 0 4 2 0 0 but it just doesn't seem to sound right for me. First time he really plays it is at around 00:18. Another example is at around 00.28. In my opinion it should be something like a G7 Variation. I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks. :)

[birdiebarron]

Hey my friend.

I'm playing E Blues with some funky turn around chords.

I never play it the same twice. There are no tabs as far as i know for this tune. I'm glad you dig it though. The chords are: E7 B7 A7 E7 verse A back to E in Chorus

Just be creative and do your owen thing within E Blues.

[Alfons665]

watch the thumb, the thumb is pressing down the E-string

its like 5-2-0 at 0:18

like the chords A - G - E

[Alfons665]

really nice style of playing,. love this song..

[Zaire90]

questo è veramente un big...si muove troppo bene

[mrcade]

this guy is awesome, i love his move at 0:34

[Alfons665]

this move is just awesome, at 0:34, the best of all..

lol

[alliedANGEL]

LMFAO!!!!

[sgtsennep]

hahaha great !
