Antoine Dufour - Reality - www.candyrat.com

[kakersdozen]

Groovy...

[FoxXxDen]

C'est plus un rêve que la réalité.

[PaulWolf2007]

Hey you're not allowed to put steel strings on a classical guitar. Just kidding, this is really well done.

[kaeptndan]

un... be... fuckin... lievable!!!!!!!

[kikapoo50001]

why do people call other people out on there comments every fuckin video

[Shiliin]

Beast.

[probaldey8]

super like.......

[ElectricTurkey1]

Antoine looks badass with his shadow facial hair. He should grow a beard

[sigmancooler]

I also purchased the Tabs but, man very difficult indeed, and i have been playing for over 30yrs.!! His style is mind-blowing to say the least.. it borders pure genius, musical God-Given , talent from the Man/Woman from above.. thank you Antoine for your musical contributions to us all!! Ciao

[RabidCookie]

@sigmancooler Haha yeah must be from the "Man/Woman from above" cuz no human has that kind of dedication, right? Of course not, all things excellent are clearly blessed by a paranormal being.

[ywed14]

@RabidCookie He's only complementing him, saying the song is "god-given" isn't meant to be taken literally.

[RabidCookie]

@ywed14 I'm aware of that, I just find overly-devout people's comments regarding any skill include unnecessary references to a being that doesn't need to be mentioned *AT ALL*. It's too much to say, "Wow, he worked really hard and is far more competent and dedicated than other artists." No, instead they make reference to a being they are convinced has ubiquitous association with everything we do.

[IXconnorXI]

@RabidCookie Dude, please be quiet. You're killing the vibe.

[RabidCookie]

@IXconnorXI I'm sure you must have noticed by now i have no volume knob. It's just text moron, everybody else can skim over it, so can you. :)

[sigmancooler]

Frick'in Awesome Man!!!  Antoine is a true musical Genius!! Modern-day Master. I would love to go see him, and Don Ross play together... what a great experience that would be... Great Job Antoine... love your playing style man!!! Ciao

[bytortheraindog]

@sigmancooler Michael Hedges is the father of this if you don't know who he is you should check him out.

[igrLegend]

My new theme song :D

[criscrums]

na i wanna learn it :p does anyone have the music sheet, not tabs . i wanna learn it for the solo competition at the end of the year.

[bytortheraindog]

I am going to see him and Andy in February!

[criscrums]

this looks easy :) mostly harmonics lol cake, good job on the song can i get the music for it please?

[sprinter1089]

@criscrums please say you're kidding ?

[FlyingVshredz]

@sprinter1089 Yeah, don't know what he's thinking. The finger picking in this song is ridiculous let alone the tapping.

[littletimmyeggfart]

Bought the tabs too.........said to throw my guitars in the fireplace. Still can't play it.

[Tuloisboss]

@littletimmyeggfart

practice it slowest as you can...

[wowtilldeah]

Come on !

Take off the mask Chuck....

[awfulguitarplucker]

if thsi would be Reality, all the evil of this world world be blown away in seconds,,,

[tjl5030]

Holy shhhhhiiiiiitttttttttt....soo good

[jo0k]

this is so hard, omg

[iusedtohaveabeard]

candyrat records artists are easily the most talented in the music industry

[treeradioproductions]

(Insert your own Chuck Norris comment here)

[Lukkysama]

So, top comments are saying that his tabs are trolling other guitarists? xD

(I know these remarks are jokes but some people don't always see it. So, if any of those are reading, never give up !)

[looculent02]

I don't believe what I've just heard...I don't think I'm even going to look at my guitar again..

[11pavement]

I dream of a day when music like this and many other brilliant artists are given their proper due....keep up the incredible work. Truly inspiring work.

[Neurotripsicks]

This is one of the best videos ever uploaded on the internet. Period.

[Nezrimo]

@Neurotripsicks *cough* This is THE best video ever uploaded to video. know why? cause 1,682,234 brain's found out what real music is and we're converted from commercialism. FOREVER.

[DetroitDieselBob]

@Neurotripsicks DAMN RIGHT!!!!!

[zereo1]

thank you for your music

[PebblesNPenguins]

At 0:54, he stares into your soul. Then he keeps on groovin'.

[PedroMeuca]

@PebblesNPenguins nice job bro, now I can't unsee it :p

[bbguitar100]

I love this song

[treeradioproductions]

is he really slapping that quickly at 3:36?

[FyllePaal]

@treeradioproductions Yes. I tried it myself just now, it's not too hard. Just drum your fingers from little- to index finger or the opposite way.

[treeradioproductions]

@FyllePaal thanks. il try it. amazing technique!

[LiveLoveAnSurf]

Seriously, people talking about bad timing, its his piece, he can play it anyway he wants, regardless, stop your bitching and listen.

[bezlovesbiffyclyro]

Seeing people dislike this.. It really does make you question humanity, doesn't it?

[IamLORI14]

your very good :o congrats xD

[jbdonaldson]

...... sigh...

[Neurotripsicks]

Just....wow

[wolvesnrp]

his timing is terrible when he switches over to that new part at 1:25. honestly, it's bad

[froggytmf]

@wolvesnrp I wish I had such a bad timing...

[Wcburg1]

@wolvesnrp i'd like to see you do better

[throbbingwartool]

@wolvesnrp You're full of shit. 1:25 is in perfect rhythm. In fact the whole song is. I really hope you're trolling.

[wolvesnrp]

does anyone not realize that this isnt very good? and also that it would be better without that obnoxious string-slapping?

[Farf420]

@wolvesnrp no i didnt realize that! did you realize that female hyenas have 7 inch clits that they have to bite off in order to give birth? I bet you didnt realize that. Now we're even sir!

[1954patrizio]

Now this guy has talent! Great solo guitar player.

[JohnBaptist95]

You are perfect! I want to play like you, be my master! :P

[KevinMystery]

I don't see any reason for having a dislike button for any of Antoine's videos.

[yahnniemeng]

@KevinMystery Yep it could just be replaced by an 'I'm a douche' button

[rossapher24]

better than ewan dobson imo

[ElectricTurkey1]

@rossapher24 Yeah. I respect Ewan...but his playing is all over the place and lacks melody, IMO

[martinboson]

@ElectricTurkey1 I agree. his style lacks melody, but makes up for it in composition and direction. This is more like a jam in the way it's built up. Not hating.

[remillarda0703]

At 0:54 he looks at the camera. It's like seeing into the eyes of God.

[DrFetuss]

107 people bought the tabs

[zmanofwar3]

I just saw him live last night with Andy Mckee and Stephen Bennett. Greatest show ever! And they were all so nice!

[renz20renz]

This is Sungha Jung's real father...

[eltonjazz]

Bert Jansch passed away last week, a real innovator in my eyes, I learned so much from him. I came across this and there can be no confusion about his legacy and impact on fingerstyle acoustic guitar. He was an innovator and probably like me, he was struggling to keep up with this brilliant development in fingerstyle playing. I will get there soon. Great Guitar Playing!!

[umgofish]

i bought the tabs, and it was just a picture of someone laughing at me

[slash556100]

@umgofish haha ur an idiot dude, it would take years to master something of this caliber man, thats y i stick to electric, but hey if u could do this id be impressed.

[VilleSkateKrewRep]

@umgofish hahaha, thankyou. comment made me laugh

[JJStuffEngineering]

@umgofish i gues it's about as thick as a phonebook per song right? :)

greetings and respect JJ

[hfschyfvn]

@umgofish

Hold up is that just a joke or is it really just a picture of someone laughing at you?

[rx22289]

@umgofish oh man that sucks, it would be awsome to play his songs.

[Pianomeldic]

Still hate quebec musician, USAsshole ?

[erick101293]

if you pay attention, this song isn't that hard to play... the thing is that composing such song would require a lot of time, experience playing guitar, musical knowledge and of course talent

[CheckThatBass]

@erick101293 I can see what you mean, but no matter what playing this song with a groove that follows through out is insanely hard. And getting a good sound of the triplet harmonic slapping is also insanely hard (in my opinion).

[eltonjazz]

@erick101293 I agree. Not wanting to trivialise your comment, but that is what all truly serious guitarists do every day of their lives, without fail. We must be mad? By the way the technicalities of this song have great issues, as key changes play a major part.

Take care, and hope I can play for you soon.

Regards,

AL'

[yahnniemeng]

@erick101293 Ok so let's see your flawless cover since it's not very hard to play..oh wait you can't perform flawless harmonics and tapping for 7 minutes straight I'd bet

[Aces2High3]

@erick101293 I agree but I don't think his goal is to make something hard to play.

[WarOnTime]

hey Dufour, can you make one freakin 'music face' while playing... and at least make it seem as hard as it is.

[indrewjones]

ughahghahg.....ugha.ugahh..hg.­...just, all over my pants. I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.

[defuntoba]

If only reality was as beautiful as this...

[fredhelp2]

@defuntoba reality is what you make it dude

[alisson2331]

muito bom!

por que não grava um cd instrumental?

[defuntoba]

@alisson2331 Ele já grava. Queria muito conseguir um =) Não sei se acho no Brasil...

[MrTinyguitar]

when did Little Kuriboh get so good at guitar?

[Rael0505]

@MrTinyguitar Did you just summon a bunch of guitars in one turn?

[MrTinyguitar]

@Rael0505 That's against the rules isn't it?

[Rael0505]

@MrTinyguitar Srew the money, I have rules!

[MyCoffeyBreak]

Why can't they play this kind of music on the radio?

[XxSpatsaAddictxX]

ugh someone needs to make a tutorial for this... -_-

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@XxSpatsaAddictxX lot's of people actually have

[dhhs91]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good And I can bet without watching that none of them succeeded.

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@dhhs91 yeah....most people bought the tabs though...they mostly only give bridge tutorials

[XxSpatsaAddictxX]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good then they should make full ones for non tab readers like me -_- lol

[XxSpatsaAddictxX]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good can you give me a link dude? cause i havent found anything =/

[gabrielusa911]

@XxSpatsaAddictxX This would prob take 500 videos to teach and you still wouldn't be able to play it lol

[lilodarker]

This song it's just ...

[xxAaliyahMichellexx]

How can people dislike this video?? Lets see you do it.

[GTastyReefer]

1.25 . the flow breaks apart

[DarthVantos]

PLEASE someone tell where i can find more music like this it literally feels like the guitar is singing to me in this video continue to hum out all the sounds in this song it is truly an amazing experience i want more.

[GTastyReefer]

@DarthVantos Tommy Emmanuelle ho,use of the rising sun

[Satman07]

PM me for tabs

[LartenCreapsly]

Does anyone know what genre this is?

[djentmadness]

@LartenCreapsly Fucking Amazing

[GTastyReefer]

@LartenCreapsly Acoustic

[MiseriesRequiem]

All i wanna know is how in the hell ANYBODY could not like this

[sjalajal]

@Hakan625 I would agree with you because I can already name some of my buddies who would not enjoy this. But your comment was very well thought out and it provided a sense of sophistication and common sense really that most people lack.

[sjalajal]

@Hakan625 Like wise!

[MiseriesRequiem]

@Hakan625 Ok troll... lmfao

[LartenCreapsly]

@Hakan625 Im pretty sure no one likes the band anal cunt.

[Hakan625]

@LartenCreapsly Pretty sure isn't sure enough

[kdjfnvjvd]

This is def in my top 3 of best songs by AD!! "Oh Yeah" is a great one too!!!

[XxSpatsaAddictxX]

ANTOINE PLEASE MAKE A TUTORIAL FOR THIS!!! :D

I tuned my Taylor down to this and it sounded so wierd, but i can't get the intro harmonics 100% correct and i don't read tabs, can someone if not Antoine please make a cover for this song please? (if anyone is curious, the tuning is BF#DAF#B!! <3 amazing song replay button just broke on my cpu! =P

[DrBromiAndufEwd]

@XxSpatsaAddictxX  What gauge strings are you using? You'll probably need mediums at least to pull of a tuning that low.

[XxSpatsaAddictxX]

@DrBromiAndufEwd i play in light strings, and alright thanks bro

[joohj1187]

@XxSpatsaAddictxX i had learned it but never posted it...surprised no one's posted a video response for this yet!

[XxSpatsaAddictxX]

@joohj1187 can you please make a video then good sir? =D

i want to learn this song and play it for this girl ive liked for a while, but since she also plays guitar, i want to do something impressive besides normal chords.. Thanks if u decide to ^_^

[street2793]

between :40 and :44 thats an intense harmonic sound. sounds like choir voices almost

[icouldbeacandybar]

I wish i had robotic hands... absolutely amazing

[maddoxowns]

This song brings tears to my eyes. I'm not joking. So pretty.

[RyanLovesYou123]

Truely beautiful

[NerdsKrew]

dude i like hearing self expression like this

[MrTimCave]

It should be music like this on the radio. Man I would pay thousands just to upgrade my car to play stuff like this. This music is incomparable to anything I have ever heard.

[ronkopald]

I was in the "NOT" camp for the Hedges technique, but Dufour fucking rocks.

Gee...how long has it taken guitar players to catch up to Hedges?? Hmm...clickityclakclakcikclak.­.....Oh right: JUST NOW.

GO ANTOINE.

[silakhot]

very like 

[Unholyterror]

Gah, amazing, lol... Amazing skills! Thanks for letting us hear your music. =]

[mojomann67]

Michael hedges legacy lives on in phenomenal players like Antoine and Andy McKee. Amazing stuff.

[aldoard]

I'm speechless.. :'(((

[AaronisRadder]

this is any smart mans key to losing his virginity.

[AaronisRadder]

this is any smart mans key to losing his virginity.

[AaronisRadder]

this is any smart mans key to losing his virginity.

[tobto1]

oh, man! thus is a real modern guitar technique. bravo!

[deathsoup1]

[Mikerulez101]

he slaps that guitar like it's his bitch

[JayCanhamThorp]

@Mikerulez101 It is his bitch.

[horacioabraham]

Goddamnit! Why isn't Candyrat records on the fucking radio?! This world can succeed only if this was on the radio!

[bobfredward]

@horacioabraham i have a feeling that antoine wouldnt be down with having his music on the radio. maybe npr.

[minniemusicmachine]

absolutely beautiful !

[JasonPayne607]

106 people need a hysterectomy/vasectomy.

[DJStompZone]

@JasonPayne607 Correction: 106 people need a castration. xD

[Coupeee94]

He is by far the best guitarist I have ever seen in my life. I have played guitar for five years and I could never play that well.

[MachineTeeth]

Where's all the talent at? Oh. Nevermind.

[mothsquito]

106 people don't know what music is.

[Jeemoda]

Pssh, I can do 6:41 to 6:42 easily.

[ThePitschii]

I Love this Viedeo.

i love antoine. All of his music has inspired me to be the guitar player i am today. but i have a hard time believing that last note was necessary.

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

Reality is he's too good!

[jazzyrockbluesy]

acoustically thrilling...

[W0RK1]
