  • Agustín Barrios Mangoré would be so proud of this guy!

  • Chuck Norris tried to play to this song. Needless to say, he failed miserably.

  • this is amazing

  • He makes it look so effortless.

  • Gareth Pearson is a jerk. He forgot us, mere mortals, have to blink.

  • *throws guitar into garbage*

  • Amazing...so inspired to practice more...much more :) Love this style, not enough people play this style. I love that it's a younger person that's playing this style as well because I always feel like the only one that's interested in this type of playing.

  • That was rad

  • party on gareth

  • wonderful

    

  • 37 people are clearly not big enough fans of acoustic guitar music to find this interesting to listen to and must have clicked the dislike button, consequently. I respectfully disagree with their taste.

  • As the song was playing, I suddenly found myself dashing through old mines on a rickety mine cart, holding on for survival. This went on for 3 minutes and 7 seconds. When it was over, I found myself sitting in my room, kissing the floor, thankful I didn't die in the mines.

    Then I hit replay and did it again.

  • omg i didnt know that someone can have sex with a guitar until i see this 

  • why is it that every week I discover another sensational candyrat guitarist! Fantastic work!

  • hahaha your brain must be an awesome machine, sometimes when i watch you play i swear i see the electrons rushing from one half into the other

  • When you have the rare combination of great playing with stellar composition this is what you get. I just downloaded the tab from candyrat records; should be a fun one to try and learn.

  • I want tabs already :) It's taking too long to figure it all out by ear, plz Gareth!

  • your playing hits the heart

  • i want to listen to this the day i take over the WORLD! hahahaha! HAHAHAHA!

  • Why do I hear "Jerry's breakdown" in your tune ? You play 4 million % better than me, I'm not knocking you. But that's not just influence, it's almost plagiarism.

    Long live real, actual music !

  • great main theme

  • very welldone great coordination

  • haha he looks so suprised to be playing that well.

  • i started to play acoustic style, (u know finger picking, they all some out sounding the same, i awlways end up on the 2nd and 3rd fret of my guitar, and the picking technique is always the same :(

  • thumbs up if you lol'd at 0:18

  • The song is pretty great but the name is wrong for it. I propose you rename it Benny Hill's Stroke.

  • waht tuning?

  • this is a living example of what a deterined and passionate mind can do.

  • even with the tabs, nobody can ever be as good as this

  • I want to be your friend!

  • He's so talented, he was at my school today and he's such an awesome entertainer :)

  • i feel chlostraphobic

  • He looks like a young kid!...Nice playing and...........what guitar is that?

  • @salm37 He's 22, and has been at my high school twice in the past 3 days :)

  • @JebusPrisms really why,how, and where?.......Where did he get his talent?

  • This is great, love acoustic compositions like this! Thanks for the upload!

  • FUCK EVERYONE WHO DOESNT LIKE THIS >> BURN IN HELL!

  • @share512 Different people have different tastes, don't be a nazi.

  • @shiggityshwaaa Too damn bad.  Already am!

  • Hey guys, GP here for real! I'd just like to thank everyone for their support towards my music and stuff (EVEN the haters, you guys crack me up more than you know!!!! :P ). Just to let you know, there will be more Urban Echoes tabs coming very soon! I'll be sure to keep you posted! Peace and Luuuuurve <3

  • @garethpearsonmusic Knock Knock!

  • @garethpearsonmusic You're badass, keep up the good work!

  • @garethpearsonmusic how old are you? regardless thats some awesome playing!

  • @garethpearsonmusic Just curious, how come you anchor your hand instead of floating it? I worked really hard to be able to float my hand but noticed everyone doesn't do it.

    On a tangent; I bought my current main axe, a 1976 Yairi, because there was heavy wear on the soundboard right by the sound hole under the 1st string. I knew immediately that this guitar was owned by a fellow fingerstylist. :)

  • @garethpearsonmusic did you compose this yourself? its beautiful. i love all your stuff on here

  • @garethpearsonmusic You blow my mind man. I am a guitar Luthier based out of Vancouver Island in Canada. Screw age, you are the epitome of the TRUE new age of music man. Best of luck, and have a GREAT career. Everyone is loving it man.

  • I love the way he uses cromatic notes to give it a beautiful color

  • Harmonieux

  • wow!

  • Impressive stuff

  • FANTASTIC!

    

  • this guys intense

  • 1:06 is a musical orgasm........

  • your guitar is really speaking...:) nice conversation between yours...

  • cant stop watching this vid... AWESOME MAN!

  • tabs for this are up on candyrat!!!!!!!

  • I love this guys style, it flows so well, and he does it so flawlessly. It's people like him, who make me put down my guitar, and make me look at it, and wonder, "where could he possibly be finding the magic in this thing?"

  • What a SWEET peace of musik.

    Applauds

  • I think this question is been asked for a zillion times, but are there/will there be any tabs available (soon) ?? I really need to learn to play this song... this is awesome! :)

  • TABS? Really?

  • hey look he anchors his pinky too that makes me feel better lol

  • I'm glad to see that gareth is bringing in views to rpoland. hope it will get people to watch the other amazing artists without a lot of views.

  • candyrat is so rapidly expanding through the generations of awesome, i won't even bat an eyelid when rpoland posts a video of some teenager tearing up an acoustic

  • Not to diminish (ehehe) anyone but i think this technical piece by Gareth conveys heck more emotion than many other pieces by some CandyRat artists; who seem to believe that tapping a harmonic each 5 seconds makes a tune - written in an open tuning with almost no chord changes in it - bearable to listen to. McKee, DuFour and many others are on another level, but there are also many cases where I wonder if they've even learned the basics before going with that certain style.

  • @MrSlimfinger I'm working on a tab of this right now by the way!

  • @MrSlimfinger I'm interested :)

  • @DavidClerk Have a look at forum . tommyemmanuel . com now and then, I'll post it there whenever I'm done :)

  • @MrSlimfinger Thank you so much ! I have just had a look at your website, but couldn't find the tab yet : can't wait :). Good luck with the transcription !

  • @DavidClerk Just checked the Candyrat Website, the tabs for Thriller, Adrenaline Rush and Beauty of Discipline are available :-)

  • An astounding talent. There will be young kids out there inspired by him just as he was by Tommy Emmanuel. Wonderful to hear such accomplishment. A great example of how the creative spirit, with a lot of hard work, devotion and support, can find expression--exponential expression. Smooth.

  • Noticed he didn't used his little finger?, Just like Andy Mckee... This guy play's Amazing!, a great future is before him! Love this song.

  • !!!!!!!....!!!!

  • Musical dong slap to bands like nickelback.

  • That is one pimpin' microphone.

  • Comment removed

  • Just what I was looking for. Inspirational...

  • how can peaple dislike this?!??!

  • @mihax209 some people just don't know real music when they hear it ;)

  • @mihax209 It's like the movie Caveman. Shortly after the first art was scribbled on the cave wall ( while the artist was still admiring it ), came the first art critic ( the caveman on the ledge above him, who promptly urinated on it ).  The only thing that changes is the medium.

  • Absolutely cracking performance! It takes a lot of skill and practice to achieve such a high standard! I take my hat off to this guy.

  • Is there a possibility to buy the tabs from Candyrat? I cannot find them anywhere, but I am willing to pay some money for it, so..... Please someone let me know OK? Thanks! By the way... Great playing there man! :)

  • @fritskezowittenie They offer many TABS for their artist's music, so there's a good possibility you could.

  • HOLY SHIT!!!! i'm mezmorized!!!!! :0

  • love this man. amazing. great work. keep it up.

  • His MGMT cover of Kids is awesome!!!! 

  • haha just had an eargasm ; )

  • I think people should stop bitching about something or the other and just admit he is a fantastic player and composer. Great playing mate...

  • Crescendos, piano sections, obviously technical, and I do believe plenty of emotion is conveyed here. Lets not forget, an unforgettable ORIGINAL.

  • Boring? There is so much going on in this piece. I LOVE this kid!!!!!!

  • bet his gf loves his fingers haha .. sick guy xD

  • I never liked this kind of music/melody on guitars. I like something simple. It moves me and has a great rhythm. Don't like this one.

  • I really think the kid is talented, especially for his age, but music isn't all about technicality. If you want to do solo acoustic like him, you at least a need band or some lyrics. Many will disagree but I don't feel much through his guitar alone, only some cool sounds, no story or emotion. I know many guitarists like Tommy Emmanuel endorse him as being a musical genius, but I don't care how fast you can play that guitar or how tech savy you are. A lot of talent but not a lot of character.

  • banjo patterns! - sounds great

  • i think i stopped breathing to listen harder! that was great

  • Wow, amazing.... Definitely puts my musical skills to shame! :)

  • come on candyrat wheres the tabs. ive checked this guy for tabs every single day for about a month now.

  • @PiiGG0TT nows the day to check they are there now

  • @PiiGG0TT The tabs would cover 4000 pages, so no one has uploaded them.

  • @PiiGG0TT they have them for sale on their web site.

  • @w00kieb0i i know man that comment was far while ago

  • I hate this onslaught of really good acoustic guitar players that are coming out these days. So hard to keep track of them all!! At least you can find them at pretty much the same place...thanks Candyrat!

  • so... I've just decided that I'm going to buy this guy's album.
