[Ryudo161]

great music, idea, musician, background, everything.

Just... gorgeous

[kanelic]

This video makes me happy!

[paulwes1983]

Dude, he's not cool because he's popular. If I was the only person who knew about him he'd still be just as cool. And "coolness" only equates to how popular one is to certain people. This man is cool, but it has to do with many factors and refers to his demeanor.

[paulwes1983]

I think it's funny how people pay millions and millions of dollars to try and be cool, but still don't even come anywhere near close to how cool this guy is.

Think about it, he's some old guy from a poor country playing a beaten up old guitar with a spoon he probably eats his lunches with and he's probably one of the coolest people here on Youtube, which has MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of people on it.

I'd love to have a beer with this guy.

[CasinoJob]

Fortunately for the world, "cool" is a relative measure of one's popularity.

[RafalMaster1]

So short so great :0 I just love that 1:07 it!s

just makes me fell happy :)

[M6A1t6t]

I don't know how many times i've watched tihs video, and it still amazes me

[Guitarespagne]

Genial!

[Godjr1]

Is there tabs for this song or did he make that song up

[Killwill23]

It's an original. The progression is A D E, repeated four times for the first portion of the song. I couldn't figure out the second half. The slide part probably wouldn't be too hard to figure out - however, being able to play it is a different story :)

[Polytotz]

Great! Großartig!

[caralhosvosfodam]

Genious!

[Fijitime26]

best guitar player ive ever seen!!!!!!!!

[Wajlonis]

God bless those people; I'm both amazed by the skills of all those ancient blues masters and terryfied by the fact, that they're old and they gonna die soon and there's nobody to replace them.

[hoz49]

@Wajlonis I get your feeling, but I'm not sure Hannes can be classified as a "Blues Master", he's from South Afrika...

[Wajlonis]

@hoz49 Why not? Blues is the feeling anybody can get, no matter where he comes from. And most of the blues masters were Americans, that's true - but they were mainly of african origin, just as Hannes is.

[hoz49]

@Wajlonis Ahh, but "The blues form ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll is characterized by specific chord progressions—the twelve-bar blues chord progressions being the most common—and the blue note that for expressive purposes are sung or played flattened or gradually bent (minor 3rd to major 3rd) in relation to the pitch of the major scale." (from wikipedia).

[hoz49]

@hoz49

Not so with Hannes spoon song. It's more of a major key ditty and not the 12 bar blues (1-4-5).

Call him a Blues Man if you wish. I'm just saying his style and musical form isn't Blues.

[Wajlonis]

@hoz49 Ok, I see what you mean, but blues isn't only about 12-bar chord progression. It's about feeling and something spiritual. On that basis I call this blues, being aware that it may not exactly fit to official definition.

[Rekatar]

@hoz49 ITS called KAROO KITAAR BLUES so its not western at all its played by the safricans that live in the semi desert areas but he invent spoon playin himself this was recorded around 2003

[hoz49]

@Rekatar I just wonder why the term "BLUES" have been added to this style. To me, blues connotes Black American music that originated in the Delta area, and typified by the 12 bar progression.

[hoz49]

@Rekatar In research it seems the term BLUES was added by David Kramer, while the local people call it Karoo Kitaar.

[hoz49]

@hoz49 Anyway, I dig him and his song.

[PleaseFillInNameHere]

i disagree, for every musician that dies, theres a new and improved musician waiting in the background to take there place.

[DuckwalkSupreme]

@PleaseFillInNameHere But, I've read that he's the only guy in the world who can do this as well as he can. Probably not true, but probably not far off, either.

[kibbey111]

I didnt see the spoon at first I was like why is he holdin the guitar like that and whats his head doin

[moe354sa]

Hey, check out my glass guitar pick videos on yootube!

[delbroox]

[rowl3r]

Very nice, I hope these sorts of old folk songs never dissapear!

[DuckwalkSupreme]

The problem is that he may be the only one on earth that can play this.

[gudnaes]

Not really, it ain't that hard. But he is doing it nicely, that's for sure!

[DuckwalkSupreme]

No, it's hard.

[pejpo]

[J2zday]

thx for posting; absolutely inspiring. this racist dehumanizing bastid below doesn't even deserve to hear this...

[Khenghis]

Why do you hate racism? Is it not because it is hateful? Then is it a little hypocritical to hate hate? I'm sure he has his reasons for holding his beliefs but attacks on a person's character isn't going to change anything.

[J2zday]

i could give a crap about this ignorant prick is all im saying: if i hated racists i wouldnt speak to most of my family.

besides hate takes way too much energy.

[LeedsLunatic]

You watch far too much Dr Phil or something because no one talks like you in real life.

[Khenghis]

Don't really watch TV, and I don't really talk that way in real life either.

[LeedsLunatic]

lol, good to hear! Because you would not be the most popular bloke in the pub if you did, would you fella?

[devourment666]

if every humanbeing on earth started thier day with this, there would be no war, except the paki arabs cause there not even human.

[aghabeypasha]

Are you from Pakistan? or Kuwait?

[kizumevoli]

[cent29roceas1]

[Khaliler]

His name is Hannes Coetzee, and he's from south africa..

[telecaster2122]

un grande! jaja, terrible maestro

[Invain777]

lol....i love this guy! he looks so satisfied when he starts to tap with the spoon the last time! :D

[Davidstan2]

I wonder how he uses a teaspoon but still needs to use his left hand...

[tvn19]

Apparently the teaspoon only apply to 1st and 2nd string. His left fingers still play chords as everyone else

[cent29roceas1]

dude he does he play the chord with his left hands i thinks its pretty neet

[RegiSeuga]

You guys are all wrong, lol thats Hannes Coatseez or somethin, forget his last name

[lute323]

It is said that the video might come from a documentary by David Kramer called Karoo Kitaar Blues. If this is correct, the guitarist's name is Hannes Coetzee.

[lute323]

An amasing guitarist. Who is he ? I do hope to know the title of this tune and would like to challenge to play by myself.

[wint0nic]

Word aric...

[aric172]

I would pay this guy to play for me while I sat in a hammock for the rest of my life drinking pina coladas...
