Tony Seeger - The Messenger - Seraph Harp Guitar

[voidforpurpose]

Sweet.

If only you had only more limb for some bass notes during the high & middle work!

Major kudos!

[JJF10101957]

Just otherworldly! Thank You

[Frebazak]

Very well done! Outstanding!!

[bewaretheintertubes]

[MrFrothinger]

[eastrockaway11518]

Cool

[sarasdassi33]

This is beautiful.



[JohnLRice]

Fantastic!

[RitaSmithLemaire]

so beautiful!

[SuperRobinTHEman]

thats wonderfull  beatifull instrumental

[666ShahMat666]

damn, after the year it takes to tune it this would be the greatest instrument in the world

[FactionsOfArt]

Haha, I can't imagine tuning this beast. Still, this guitar is kick-ass!

[HorridFroth]

Good composition, but the sound engineer should be shot. 2 microphones, and it still sounds like shit.

[Flanker7Excalibur]

8 people hate their current talents

[jpmarkham10]

does anybody know where i can find pickups for a harp guitar with super trebels

[wellingtonLG1]

Beautiful guitar ! hehe

[SalPedi]

This the very first time I've ever seen/heard this instrument. It was a great performance!. I would love to hear other types of music played on this amazing instrument!..

[keman25]

I hear Brouwer! :-)

[petshopgoy]

whats the tuning in the middle guitar?

[sillymonkey829]

Hmm, where can I get $10,000?

And on a side note, your style kinda reminds me of Opeth, so I guess it isn't too surprising that you have both been suggested to write the music for Diablo 3! In fact, Opeth wrote a song for God of War III called Throat of Winter. A little on the heavier side, but definitely worth checking out:

[jadedsaint1776]

[littalluvah]

εκτιμηθεί ιδιαίτερα:) σας ευχαριστώ! Έχετε κάποιες συμβουλές για το πώς να μαθαίνουν ένα τέτοιο όργανο;

[littalluvah]

Αγαπώ απολύτως αυτό το τραγούδι! Είμαι, επίσης, Έλληνας και μισός γαλλικά, αλλά κυρίως ελληνικές. Λατρεύω το στυλ σας, και αυτό το τραγούδι, υπέροχους ήχους, και πολύ ήρεμη:) θα ήθελα να ρωτήσω πού έχεις την κιθάρα άρπα σου;

[8096446]

@littalluvah Σας ευχαριστώ, παρακαλώ πηγαίνετε στο "Seraph Harp Guitars website".

[bigbignosedestroyer]

Good Luck replacing the strings there mate....

[nefisstoss]

Dont #%$#^%* xD your awesome, i need one of those guitars!

[animedesign]

^_^ O.o woowwww

[cassytn]

You are phenominal!! If my specific design and string configuration I've been dreaming about for over 35 years now, ever gets built, I bet you would be one of the only harpguitarist who could actually do it justice!!! I've been working on a string configuration that has old Bill and the rest of em baffled, since I was thirteen years old and saw my first gibson style U... and my bracing design will change the whole future of acoustic instrument building... I wish I could get it done someday...

[anelphabet]

@cassytn DO IT O DO IT DOITDooIIt

[ewtgarwar]

omg hes good

[HandiAce]

Awesome design/shape and a beautiful instrument all around. Really enriches the already melodic sound of a guitar.

[elliments]

you look like a turtle, your guitar looks like it belongs to a demon, and your playing is badass

[8096446]

@elliments 1) Testudinos Galapagos. 2) I stole it from Azraal. 3) Thanks

[Jiimy96]

OK.. that guy has problems! i realy feal bad for the strings!

[TheReighnart]

Seriously man, the playing is amazing, the composition is amazing, and the guitar is amazing. The sharp angles make it look so cool.

[mechaghostman2]

My bro is making a similar guitar to this one. It'll be made of Cedar, be 5 in' thick, and may have more or less strings, not sure how many he's gonna put on it yet. Oh, and close yours eyes and it sounds like 2 or 3 guitars being played at once.

[conor1148]

Hey there, I'm a guitar builder who specializes in all things weird, overboard, and crazy. I've been looking to build one of these for some time now, the only thing stopping my being rough measurements of the harp part of the guitar. would you be willing to help?

thank you so much, and amazing playing!

[afterthought9]

another guitarist who thought he would improve by buying more strings.

[GNRrulz40]

@afterthought9 and id love to see you do better :)

[licka]

This guy should write the soundtrack for Diablo 3.

[8096446]

I couldn`t agree more Haha,and I would love to do it.

[TheReighnart]

@licka

Oh dude, totally, I actually thought that when he started playing.

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

that's got itself a big ass bridge. do i count 20 strings one one instrument? god almighty don't let these new metal bands hear about these or else there will be 20 string guitars with necks the size of surf boards and stings an inch thick.

[gn0coach]

Hi Tony. Brilliant instrument and excellent playing....

It was a pleasure to meet and play with you yesterday evening. A good evening all round!

[Sinanthir]

......o yeah very nice except tat the bloody thing costs so much money.....wish i could afford one...

[TodayGameTrailers]

this vid has inspired me to play the harp guitar! so i guess i'll start to learn the acoustic guitar 1st. and after some years of practise and when i'm ready i'll go on to the harp guitar :P

[Jofranher]

AQUI TENEMOS A TONY SEEGER, UN VIRTUOSO CON ESTE INSTRUMENTO DE CUERDAS. NO DEBE SER FÁCIL TOCAR ARPA, GUITARRA Y CÍTARA A LA VEZ.

[8096446]

Muchas gracias.Tony

[Zeno1999]

Instrument speakth volume and responding well to artist's soul. Composition is inspiring !

[brliam]

imagine re-stringing this!

[8096446]

The harp bass & treble strings last for ages as they are not fretted,and the guitar is like any other.All the strings are standard guitar sizes.

[adithyakiran16]

That has to be the most awesome and brutal looking guitar ever

[kero666]

You've got some issues with the tempo man, try playing to a mentronome!

Else you're awesome, couldn't do what you do in a lifetime

[MadDogMolenaar]

what tuning do you have this in?

[BucketheadfeatSlash]

love this!!!!!!

[phantombagpiper]

Absolute pleasure to hear you today and Chris Barlows' this video is a joy.

(Piano made it home ok ;-) Phil

[quillsinister]

Hello, Tony. First of all, I have to say that both the song and the instrument are magnificent. I have very recently started playing the guitar and was hoping to expand to a harp guitar in two or three years, when I have a bit more skill. I was planning to order one like yours but it appears that the site has been taken down. Has your luthier stopped building them?

[8096446]

No,we are still building.Web site has just been serviced ,should be back online now.Thanks for your comments.

[gloubbi]

Regardless of the instrument, the music is beautiful

[Sinanthir]

That was F*cking BAD!!!! -Thank you...Damn that was so cool...

[SiantDread]

this thing looks awesome and sounds amazing and seems expensive lol

[DUY1337GUITAR]

omg, my dream acoustic..... I just love that headstock

[ghiengame]

I would kill just to have that guitar and anything for his skill

[marklizard1]

I liked this. You might also want to check out videos of Phi DeGruy and his guitarp...

[kmitsotakis]

o tzoni vavouras mas mageyei...

[JaviDa1]

Amazing, simply amazing!

[helljason]

[Prjmanhattan]

omg, divine song

[TrollinLikeIts1764]

that was totally metal

[AiCLol]

Holy shit.

[KILLUHclown]

incredible

[wistaria2010]

What an interesting harp guitar, beautiful, lovely tones, very nice performance and song.

[MrJekMor]

Ух ТЫ !!! Хочу такой же инструмент!!!! как у этого Разенбаума ))

[8096446]

Спасибо.Tony

[MrJekMor]

Да не за что =) уж больно вид инструмента вдохновил!!! остальные  видяхи смотрел вид имеют различный , но этот просто чудо! а сколько стоит .если не секрет и кто производитель , , кто подскажет , необразованному в этих попросах ?!

[MistahhB]

so where can I find a harp guitar that doesn't cost $10.000? I've been looking for the last few days. Only one with the bass side.

[rtorresvazquez]

Maravilloso....

desde México

[znick1993]

Thats why they don't meke them you gotta build these ones yourself

[8096446]

Hi,The web site is on the info box,top right.

[jghfslk]

Could you tell me how much one of those would cost? And how many strings are on the lower part of the guitar?

[himXfreak]

wow, das nenn ich mal ein talent..

[XxTheFalloFAmericaxX]

Not impressed. Gotta use ur tongue on the bass strings.

[metalguitarplayer442]

@XxTheFalloFAmericaxX lol, i like how everyone thumbs downed ur comment when it was obviously sarcastic and a joke. i actually laughed when i saw ur comment :D some people are dumb

[snocrosschampion]

thats freaking awesome

[jazzpsalti]

I think I could make some magic with one of these someone wanna give me one??? lol

[8096446]

Hahai,if you can make "magic" I suggest you use it to make some money and buy one.

[jazzpsalti]

hehe, my man I was only joking :) I'm building a cigar box harp guitar to get my chops up first before I spend a bunch on a custom built job.

[tman916x]

@8096446 nice one man lol!

[RaVe4EvR122]

I suggest you open your ears and take in the fact that this guy has more talent than every bone in your body. Also please don't post comments like that when you are too ignorant to appreciate music fully thank you and have a nice day.

[wiccan4ever]

quite possibly the most epic/complicated instrument in the history of EVER!

[larryboyofok]

Talent on loan from GOD!!! I have never heard anything like this. It is simply incredible, fantastic, supercalifragilisticexpealidos­ous !!!!

Mrwetsquid Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father.

[windsorcrew]

Excellent performance on a truly unique instrument! The sonic range is incredible. Thanks for your artful musicianship!

[SirDJMuziek]

YOU'RE Michael Hedges!

[holgamods]

God, talent, dedication and hard work

[decko87]

2:37 sounds like an ABBA song

[decko87]

and 2:53 is the Barber of Seville! lol

[jackowacko8]

dude i noticed that too! crazy

[Animeguy993]

Beautiful.

[MrSquitwet]

amazing.

[todoall1]

amazing

[panther2598]

t th thi this this i this is this is e this is ep this is epi this is epic this is epic : this is epic :0

[xzz0195]

Interesting!

[fallonyourknees89]

absolutley amazing i wish i could play like that man praise God for his talent!!

[MrSquitwet]

it's not talent; it's hard work and dedication. god had nothing to do with that. you should be praising the PERFORMER for this music.

[silvertonguedbard]

What he did here couldn't have been played on a six string. I thought it was great.

[Solanaceaesgiandubh]

Seems to sound more like a demonstration of the instrument itself, and less like a musical work. It's as if it says, "Look what *my* guitar can do!" as opposed to conveying any thought or emotion.

[TwistedGentleman]

Could just be improv.

[xXMattSheaXx]

true

[nancyl2]

Truly Angelic to my ears. Love to watch as this master plays the Harp guitar. It is a beautiful work of art, "The Messsenger" Thank you for posting this gem, 8096446

[SILLFIDA]

amazingly beautiful!!! @>~

[EtherealWaves]

Well done!! That was amazing!!

[sarcophyllus]

this instrument:

It's fusion!

[sidensvans67]

What a lovely sound..

[suxatguitar1]

Jason carter is better

[raphaelvilamiu]

finally a harp guitar player who uses some of the strings :)

[TwistedGentleman]

To be fair the harp strings on a harp guitar are to add bass elements, this one has high harp notes on it thought which is a nice fusion.

[Sitarfixer]

That was total enjoyment. Thank you, Sir.

[diejango]

this is amazing!

ive never seen anything like this.

you've got a gift man.

and you use it well haha.

cheers :)

[sopphie]

theres no real structure to it. it confuses me., good guitar skills nonetheless!!!!

[HalowithDragonwings]

Is the guitar part of the instument a 7 string guitar with the harp either side?

The tune is moving (in an emotional way)

It doesn't need improving, and it's just my flavour, during the heavier parts, it would be cool if the were distorted. That's the Metal in me speaking. But like I said, fanf#%kingtastic

[8096446]

Thanks,its a 6 string guitar.For more info you can go to the seraphharpguitar web site.

[SEDILEXRE5]

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU MAN?

GOD?

[8096446]

Hardly ! why not ,check out my other video.Hobgoblin.

[Link1001studios]

sedlixre5 lol i am christian and you know its kinda offensive but heck that one kinda made me laugh a bit :P

[rcmata1]

Parabéns pela maravilhosa música!! Você é um um grande Violonista!!! (Congratilation for you wonderfull song!!! You are a great guitar player!!!) Rodrigo Brasil!!

[h05071978]

la labor del artista siempre será estar en las fronteras de lo posible. Bravo

[8096446]

muchas gracias

[jacob7207]

Wow man, all I have to say is inspirational and thought invoking. Peace and love. Much respect. Keep it real.

[DimmuB]

That was fantastic! Such great hammer-ons while playing the bass notes. Man I would love to play one of those. Great music!

[Godboy525]

I want to buy this Harp Guitar ^^ it sounds fantastic!

[lilmark816]

Nice and you built this instrument as well?

[orcalamadama]

stupendo!

[8096446]

Grazie mille,Tony

[Thomasooo2003]

Great guitar, wonderful music, beautiful sound.

[BrighamHB]

one of the nicest looking harp guitars I've ever seen! I love the shape of the headstock and the shape of the soundholes. I also like the third set of strings at the bottom, it's a good idea and it sounds great.

[ajjs02]

designed it ,playing it, truly wonderful. this is a real renaissance  player. love that sound of the tiny harp.

[Szartard]

Sounds huge!

[chopshop777]

masterfull, absolutely brilliant.

[Sonofeevil]

I'd like to see what Angy Mckee could do with this.

It's good, but I was expecting better.

[Xerxes4242]

I haven't seen Andy do anything like this...

[NPC919]

If your talking about instrument... Look harder... Andy Mckee has done loads of songs with a harp guitar..

If your talking about general sound... Then you right... They have different playing styles...

[eddievalentin]

fucking hell... must be a bitch to tune...

[8096446]

Actually no,it holds tune for literally days without moving,but if you need a different tuning for all three sets of strings it takes longer than a six (obviously).

[adrianrubi]

is this harder to learn than a normal guitar?

[ADNUIDMDE]

not really, you just need one hell of an imagination... And guitar playing skills.

[aspnhl7]

this just sounds awsome!!!

[XshlomoX]

lol my cat loves this song

hes usually very hyper-active but when he heares this song he gets relaxed and just wana sit and listen

[albrechtthreeten]

Antonio Forcione anyone?

[BrocWorst]

How much do these guitars run usually? Do you know any were in Washington were you can but these new? thanks

[8096446]

Hi,If you go to `more info` (above)there are details of the website.Thanks Tony

[11507jennie]

Beautiful looking and sounding instrument, and great playing.

[nightbringer757]

lol couldn't see the bottom harp strings I was like wtf is he doing

[7thFrettDown]

simply amazing

i found a site that makes theses harp guitar and i ordered on

ahha THERE NOT CHEAP XD

but its well worth it <3

how much did your cost????????????

[8096446]

Hi,since this is the prototype which I designed and helped to build, I dont like to think how much this one cost me!(More than our production models,which have an improved treble headstock)Thanks for the review.Tony

[XMasterAndCommanderX]

That's pretty cool. o.o

[zacharron]

Those treble harp strings sound amazing. You must have nearly piano range between those and the bass strings.

Zane

[sterlingchoir1]

Amazing.

[AnchoriteProductions]

I want one! :-) -Derek

[dustin10101]

First off.... Amazing... beautiful.... 5 stars.... I am tempted to make a new account just so I can give this another 5.

Also, I think this is a bit more creative than andy mckee, but he is also very creative..... So, I say you guys are the same, but your more amazing. =)
