Trick Spiritual Groove

[FVAcoustic]

Had forgotten how to play this part, but now I'm back on track again! This song is the reason I started making acoustic music myself, hopefullly I can get a cover up soon. Keep up the amazing work Antoine, youre a true inspiration!

[Jwarebee]

Thanks for the video, but the real question im having is how did your brain come up with that?

[005E500]

this is the hardest part

[NEXutTORUSramenMETAL]

I love that he tries to help out everyone with his songs, answering questions and replying to videos.

[gigad0m]

I'm petty sure there's some black magic going on here.

[95786327]

Can you make a new video of this?

This one is a bit laggy :O

[overclockeador]

Still is impossible to me....

[MrFlacoalto]

um what fret you hammer?? and what strings?? i look it severy many times but i get confuse between 12 ~~14 frets

[MaXiMux87]

ez ...

[Rspringscabin]

haha even at this speed its to fast for me. I suck

[Bemani012]

lol, know ur prob ^^

[fabienKLE]

i m you 1OO five stars! great !!!

[fabienKLE]

so generous!! man!!

fabien courtois!!!!

[Demoras]

Amazing. Not only technically, but also...

... How do you make up such things! I'd never get that idea!

[CheeseCakeee]

Godly hands

[laabuela00]

so slow... so hard...

[poisenbery]

the coordination with the hands is the only thing you really need to work out

the hardest part imo is the explosive pulloff with the left hand that makes the harmonic

once you get that and the speed down, this becomes a breeze =)

antoine, how did you manage to come up with this btw? you have some of the most original fingerstyle techniques ive ever managed to see and attempt to learn

[moondancer33]

this is definately something i want to learn, after i saw the video with your friend tommy gauthier, whom also is a very talented musician. if you could do me a favour and tell me the tuning so i may learn it, thank you!

Matt =D

btw, this part of the song was the only part that troubled me, so i thought it would be appropriate to post here while wathcing how you did it. =P

[amplifierworship661]

the tuning is DADGCE, low to high.

[dantheacousticman]

if you want it for the tuning with the violin as well its C G C F A# D low to high (: i prefer that version anyways

[moondancer33]

thanks! tho i would have been able to figure out through the original tuning of this song, it saved me a bit of time. thanks muchly. ^^

[MartaineJr]

holy shit.

i just thought of this concept of harminixing with the right hand and then i see YOU do it.

i still have ways to go it seems XD.

[jackiepatriciaa]

can i HAVE you? haha. you're awesome!!

[infuzed210]

thank you so much for putting this up

[RiouxItsMe]

salut antoine jai 2 questions , quand tu la joue avec tommy, tu est belle et bien accorder en CGCFA#D ? et est-ce que tommy est accorder normalment? sinon j'aimerai tu me dise son tunning car jaimerai la faire a secondaire en speactacle :P

merci

joe , nouveau fan.

[RiouxItsMe]

ibanez has a fukin good neck on every guitar , acoustic to electrics guitar!

[chillandthrill87]

i agree with 0Tucker play the ibanez! lol there pretty much bad ass!

[0Tucker]

post a video of you playing your ibanez back there please! that would be awesome!

[universalmind3000]

thank a lot for posting this...I've tried for about a month to play this passage but it was to difficult to nail!

ps: You're great...

[guitarguy150]

i love you... oh fuck i shiete

[jacko238]

lol awsum but i cant figure out how he plays the second harmonic :(

any ideas?

[carloswallauer]

see the Ian Ng tutorial for Spiritual Groove Bridge part. He shows how this harmonic is done also.

You only have to pull down your finger in the 5th fret while having another finger in the 7th fret for the harmonic effect. I don't know if I wrote it correctly, heh, see the video from Ian Ng for the details. =)

[jacko238]

lol kwl thx i got it now :D

[Draculhuhn]

he mutes the strings with the 5th finger of the left hand and strokes with the 2nd finger - at least that's my guess^^

greetingz^^

[poisenbery]

this is the sexiest thing i have ever seen

antoine is easily wayy too overlooked

how he thinks of this stuff surpasses me

[JESUSFREAK040]

PICK UP THE ELECTRIC FOR US ANTOINE!

[MrZeta007]

I added Spiritual Groove maybe I can collab if ok and add some kool synths to it eh!?

[Spauchi]

Antoine....how the hell comes such things to your mind?????? ;-)))

This is really hard...but i will practice a lot and will make it...you will see ;-)))

By the way...love your music!!!

You should come to germany as well... with Don and Andy ;-))

Best regards....

Some-guy-who-has-serious-probl­ems-with-his fingers-in-this-part ;-)

[sergiovr3]

lol

[kosan9494]

i can play this fast, but i always mute 5th & 3rd fret on 4th string, and that really driving me nuts!help me or i'll try a suicide X-P

[GetnFunky]

emo

[kosan9494]

lol do you know what mean the word "joke"?

Get a life

[RustyCyler]

I'v learned to play spirtual groove these past 3 weeks and saved this part for last.

I just played this brige peice for the first time and I'm stoked. Still needs ALOT of practice tho to make this riff flow nicely. The harmonics on the 7th fret are so cool. I can't do the 7th fret harmonics without playing the whole riff. Whatta great song !

[trunkie777]

wow merci!!!jaime tro se ke tu fais je suis en train dapprendre kelke unes de tes pieces et sa maide bocou:P

[RustyCyler]

hey antoine, how bout writin' some easier songs that us mortals can play !!! JK man, you rock and are my favorite guitarist.

[karimeee]

i love it..

i learnt it but I still cant do it as fast as him

[Tyferra]

Thanks man, I'm not ashamed to say I needed it slowed down a notch to learn it. :)

[charbroil123]

you hold your ring finger (or watever is comfortable) over the 7th and strum with your index finger for the second harmonic. the shape repeats itself but it moves a step down.

[elessar225]

I got it! thank you so much!

[elessar225]

one of the harmonic notes! on 7th and 5th fret on the third string! how do you make that sound without any tapping or slaping? or maybe i am wrong?! sorry about the english!

[ABisopht]

so slow yet so fast

[RuthlessToothless89]

so i know u hammer on the 7-D twice then the 9-d then slap the harmonics, then hamer on the 5-d but where does that next harmonic come from? i cant see u slap or pluck

[willlino]

can u post this more slower please?thank you

[Stophocles]

Ouch, my brain

[nonkeljef]

yeah i've been wondering how that would sound for a long time too...:p

[angelamidev]

Slowly!??? Lol

[kiresnikpmot]

thanks antoine for putting this up  definitely helps a lot

[Ji0X]

yey i got it :)

will upload a cover soon

[alguira]

first time i heard this song i thought "bah, it cant be that difficult...". FFS this is practically impossible men, lol too many songs in there compressed in nanoseconds and unleashed with power and determination.

Lol got freaky in there xD

[sifufenix]

.... im watchibng this video over and over i got all the part exept for this shit, im getting crasy on it.

[tirosalata]

thanks........... for me the best...........

[Yix777]

i'm amazed and impressed that you put lessons up on here! your a great guitarist and obviously a great guy!

[Bovaja]

[qunuts]

I LOVE ANTOINE. gonna spend the rest of my life learning everything you play man!

Almost finished Spiritual Groove... just one question.

how do you sound the second harmonic of each 'bar'? (3 secs in, 6 secs in, 10 secs in... etc. ) Thanks...

[AntoineDufour]

The harmonics at 3,6 and 10 sec are done with the pull off with the first left hand finger to the 4th finger placing over the harmonics at the 7th fret, then 5th fret...

Antoine

[toonstegen]

this looks so different on the other vid...

[Heojaua]

lol how old are you? O.o

[FlareDragon2004]

You're awesome.

I really appreciate and i know everyone else does as well.

:]

-Trey

[AntoineDufour]

The left hand first finger pull off to an harmonic, putting the little finger over the 7th fret. Hope it is the answer you were seeking!

Antoine Dufour

[enshrinedbygrace]

Antoine thanx alot, and thanx for being a huge inspiration... now if you could please make a video tutorial for scratch or develpmont it would be amazin..

thanx again

[balmungofazureskies]

hahaha you're amazing!

[OmfgTheyAreAllTaken]

Great, that's a lot of help, but after the first 2 right hand taps how do you get the third natural harmonic?

[AntoineDufour]

The left hand first finger pull off to an harmonic, putting the little finger over the 7th fret. Hope it is the answer you were seeking!

Antoine Dufour

[OmfgTheyAreAllTaken]

Cool, I see it now, thanks for the tip, and it is very nice that you answer all of our questions with what little time you may have. Thanks a lot!

[trunkie777]

ahh cool thx :D

[mwahaha91]

As I stated on your myspace, your intuition in your songs is amazing. Just truly unbelievable. Keep making those  amazing songs and do what you always have been doing!

[kazmelm213]

your god. seriously, your my god. this is an awesome video. can you show us how to play either vibe, memories of the future or development>?

[kazmelm213]

6th post!!!

[SwordPlay2]

Let me just say that you are an amazing Musician, since watching your videos and a few others from candyrat i've decided to really try to up my guitar playing abilities. I'm working on dracula and friends but I still need to work out the middle section and just clean it up a bit. Would you be willing to make a video tutorial on how to play Drac and Friends?

[kkraid]

Thanks alot! I just bought a Steelstring Guitar - and you know why? Because your songs inspired me to! Normally i just play Acoustic Nylonstring and that even not so bad - but now i wanted to also play some of ur songs or Andy McKee's.

I already mastered Drac&friends and Naissance, now its Spiritual Groove's turn!

Thanks alot! Ur a great Musician!

[nomoreluck]

Thanks a bunch! That was a lot easier than how I tried to play that section! (I tried to post both tabs here)

And thanks for being such an inspiration!

[joiboi180]

haha thanks a lot man. my interpretation was way different but it sounds the same... and 10 times sloppier cuz my right hand is all over the place. Good stuff I didn't expect right hand to make the harmonic sound by itelf with the index and pinky =P.

[rockerkid13]

omg! man i wanna hab the tab
