I can respect his playing ability, but I've never really enjoyed his music. It's too messy for my ears. I enjoy Antoine Dufour, Erik Mongrain, Don Ross, and the rest of them more.
@GenyaArikado thanks buddy. i know i dont suck. i'm a session player in nashville playing with the best musicians in the world. the style that this man plays is his own, and obviously NOBODY can take it or copy it. i've always liked this style of playing, but it's not my cup of tea to play. i'm a country/jazz/rock player. so there is NO comparison. dumbass. that's like comparing brent mason to segovia. you're either just mad at the world and want to start shit, or you're 12. thanks.
@therealrockpresley I don't think you play with the best musicians in the world. Or else you wouldn't be this stupid. And i can still compare you. And show me proof that you're so much better then ? don't just talk horsepee dude...
@GenyaArikado i don't talk shit about what i do. you can only compare me with people that play like ME. that's a comparison. go look at my videos. that's proof enough dude. i work consistent week after week with the best of the best. i don't talk shit man, and i'm certainly not stupid. the only stupid thing we can do is to keep arguing over "crap". go check out my vids, that backs it up PLENTY enough. PLENTY. -ben
@therealrockpresley Okey, i can look at your videos. But you have to do me a favor and look at these japanese girl playing guitar..just search on youtube -> " HIZAKI grace project - Race wish (guitar solo) " And tell me what you think about it ?
Haha, okey, actually it isn't a girl. But if it was. Would you consider her good then ?
It's actually 5 buttons thank you. Haha . I can play this on real guitar but it would be fun to play in guitar hero. You don't always need to be making serious musical endeavors, it's ok to sit back and have a few drinks and play a game with some friends. :)
lol u need to start from basics than work ur way up, not many places that teach you guitar tapping, people just make their own style. Good luck. It takes years to get to this level.
hey you guys I have been playing guitar long time and i wrote a guitar solo inspired by the level of guitar playing skills justin king has. It is not as technical as the music he plays but it is more mellow please check out my video and comment thanks.,...
it's look so complicated but in fact it's not so hard to play - Listen to Viva la Vie by Peter Finger and try to play it - that's masterpiece. Anyway love acoustic stuff by Justin King!
It sounds as if you are defining what's a 'masterpiece' and what's not based on how hard it is to play... I thought we all agreed on that that's wrong?
i saw this move a couple a years ago for the first time. Still i havent found anything like this one yet, NO movie out there on the internet has stunned me as much as this one did "Does"
there a quite some tapping acoustic guys around like micheal hedges or don ross. The funny thing is that justin always said he wasn't influenced by them and already used tapping before he ever heard of them.
It looks like it's an earlier LV-09 with one of their clear pick guards. I have an earlier D-03 with a clear pick guard. The newer models all show a tortoise-shell pick guard. In any case Larrivée makes several acoustics with cutaway bodies. They are not that unusual.
Yeah its called "Phunkdified" and its definitely one of his more impressive songs. The studio version on Le Bleu is considerably slower, but this is just awesome.
My friend died last year from chain letters repost this or she will come and kill you everytime you here a ring in your ear she will make your life shorter repost this to 10 other videos
but can't record it.. It would be almost impossible to hear all the notes clear (because my guitar is a Perez, with nylon strings - and its not always loud enough to get on the record)..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you know how i know you dont know how to play this song? because you have nylon strings on your guitar. what a joke. real guitarists dont use nylon strings you homo.
well than he has a shit ass guitar, because most guitars, at least the ones that are worth the money come with steel strings already in place. you probably bought mexico's joke of a perez.
i bet you anything its two piece, and the only reason its expensive is because its a certain type of wood. (which doesn't make it a "good" guitar, some of the best toned guitars are around 500 dollars, thats not a whole lot for a guitar!) but i can't talk to someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.
Wood is VERY important in determining a guitar's value. I'd love to see your $500 guitar that has the "best tone" around because chances are, you own one. Nylon strings doesn't mean a guitar sucks; it might be a classical guitar, which requires immense finger dexterity to play as does any other guitar.
I wouldn't be insulting others if I were you because anybody who says wood doesn't determine a guitar's value and nylon string guitars suck clearly is uninformed...or just stupid.
"real guitarists dont use nylon strings you homo."
Really? Didn't Eric Clapton use them for the song "Tears in Heaven?" Last time I checked he's considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Hmm...
Chances are that the guy you're talking to has a classical guitar. Believe it or not, classical guitarists are "real guitarists" too. The fact that nylon strings don't produce much resonance when slapped on doesn't reflect the user's ability. No need to make assumptions, kid.
if u dont think exotic woods make guitars good, then you are HIGHLY mistaken. ever heard of koa? bubinga? blackwood? madagascar? im pretty sure u havent cuz u have no idea what a good guitar is. and have u even PLAYED a guitar OVER $500?? cuz u know, last i checked when a really good guitar is made, they're usually over $500. and playing nylon strings does not mean u are not a real guitarist. yngwie, paul gilbert, clapton, and a lot more have used nylon before. get your info right before u argue
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
actually ya i have, and it was made outta oak and sounded like shit. now im not saying there AREMT good guitars that are made out of exotic woods, and im NOT saying it is IMPOSSIBLE to play songs with nylons i'm saying that nylon strings are generally on beginner guitars, and one determining factor of the price of a guitar is the type of wood it is made with, AMONGST OTHER THINGS. you youtube people read between the lines when there is nothing there you fucking stupid pricks.
Sorry kiddo, but it was pretty clear you weren't saying nylon strings are on beginner guitars.
"well than he has a shit ass guitar, because most guitars, at least the ones that are worth the money come with steel strings already in place."
For another thing, the type of wood is generally considered the most important factor in determining tone. Give a luthier good wood and you can be sure he'll follow up with everything else.
yeah, try writing a song like this, yeah u cant do it. justin king is better than all u ppl, a guitar player that plays only other ppls songs and can play any song in the world is not better than a kid that writes his own punk rock songs. originality is above all.
Actually, I'd say the tapping is the EASIEST part. Even if it's fast it's really simple technique but the rest of the song requires refinement over and over again. This is song is very easy to play, difficult to master and make sound good
The most difficult part of this tune is the ultra fast slapping he does. The fast strumming isn't too hard once you have the flamenco triplet technique down. The tapping is hard as shit though.
The only part in this song who are hard who starts att 00:38, the rest is just esey tapping, maybe it's hard on acoustic guitar but after 2-3 dayes it will be alot eseyer :P
yeah right, the tapping is the easier part (if there was one). Try getting the rasgueado strum down...(and I doubt you got that down in half a day...)
Hurts like hell at first yeah, I bruised and grazed my fingers initially. Still haven't got it perfect, once you've got past the hurting stage to get the timing and dynamics perfect is the trickiest part.
damn. I gotta learn that song, so i can play it in 10x slow motion (as fast as I possibly can), and then practice for 13 years to get up to that speed
i think its m-p-p. (down on middle finger, then directly afterwards on the same stroke with thumb, then upstroke with thumb, repeat 20 times a second)
Isabelled is right. Down with middle finger, then down with thumb on the same stroke, up with thumb. Focus on rotating your wrist rather than moving your hand. You should practice the motion on your knee or something before you move onto the guitar.
Concerning that there's a lesson by Gabriela from Rodrigo y gabriela that you might enjoy, her on youtube somewhere just type Rodrigo y gabriela. They're on classic guitar though
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
His tempo shifts are slight and awkward. He misses his note several times. His chord structures from 1:16 to 1:29 are analogous and add nothing but ear ache to the song. His own song is too fast for him. EPIC FAIL!!!
The part from 1:16 to 1:29 is a form of build up, to emphasise the sense of "relief" that follows with the tapped section. Kind of like an animal trapped in a cage and then being released
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This one is really cool, except for the "look, Mom, I'm playing the guitar with your electric egg beater" part that starts at 1:16, then it smooths out ok again.

damn. I gotta learn that song, so i can play it in 10x slow motion (as fast as I possibly can), and then practice for 13 years to get up to that speed

any tips on how to practice that crazy tremolo at 1.20?
slettis89 3 years ago
thats not tremolo. its rasgeado, played with p - m - p
(p= thumb, m= middlefinger)
Susu1789 3 years ago
i think its m-p-p. (down on middle finger, then directly afterwards on the same stroke with thumb, then upstroke with thumb, repeat 20 times a second)

any tips on how to practice to become that style of guitarist plz tell
ty2242 3 years ago
Yeah, you just practice....a lot.
Nekryph 3 years ago
Isabelled is right. Down with middle finger, then down with thumb on the same stroke, up with thumb. Focus on rotating your wrist rather than moving your hand. You should practice the motion on your knee or something before you move onto the guitar.

Concerning that there's a lesson by Gabriela from Rodrigo y gabriela that you might enjoy, her on youtube somewhere just type Rodrigo y gabriela. They're on classic guitar though

His tempo shifts are slight and awkward. He misses his note several times. His chord structures from 1:16 to 1:29 are analogous and add nothing but ear ache to the song. His own song is too fast for him. EPIC FAIL!!!

i somewhat agree but also damn hes amazing

The part from 1:16 to 1:29 is a form of build up, to emphasise the sense of "relief" that follows with the tapped section. Kind of like an animal trapped in a cage and then being released

i guess i didn't realize that...i'm sorry.
i was just having a bad day because i'm struggling to learn a couple andy mckee songs.

Please post a video of how this song is "really" suppose to be...if not then STFU!

This one is really cool, except for the "look, Mom, I'm playing the guitar with your electric egg beater" part that starts at 1:16, then it smooths out ok again.

You wouldnt be able to play it if you had the tabs so It isnt importand...
longlivetoempire 3 years ago
Actually I've seen the tabs and they're pretty dang incorrect. The best way to learn is by watching the video or by ear
