[KritterMusicFuneral1]

If this man ever became famous or mainstream in any way shape or form it would be scary. He would ruin the reputation of everyone. Sad thing is people would start being loosers and copying him. In my eyes this man copied no one. He worked at his own style and did it. If Everyone did that music wouldn't be so worthless and decades wouldn't be judged on general styles of music. Its a mystery to me he isn't more popular or in guitar magazines as best guitarist of the year. He deserves something....

[KHFREAK999]

This is insanely awesome. And I thought I had seen the best of Candyrat, I was terribly mistaken... But why would one play a strat if he owns u suhr? In my opinion, a suhrs wipes the floor with a Fender Stratocaster. More distinguished tones. More power. More 'twang'. A bit more of everything, really ...

[ruffe2k]

This guy's timing is so accurate, you can set your clock after his songs.. Amazing dude, keep it up :D

[dogsmart04]

i would love to go see him in concert, plus i love his music is amazingly good but awsome is more like it, rock on dude

[dewbach1]

satriani styleeeeeeee



[Soruzi]

1:15 FREE EARGASM FOLKS!!!!!!

[dropac]

Odlican sound , sjajna svirka.Sve najbolje i pozdrav iz Srbije! :) .. "Excellent sound, great svirka.All the best and greetings from Serbia! :) "

[PenguinarityProd]

You mean Richard Hammond looks like him!?!?!? >_>

[MrBipulpandey]

Awesome transitions!!!!

[systematicdesign]

OMG! That was perfect!

[TheDashboardSaint]

sounds like Book of Dreams by Steve Morse. Not too much tho. But surely influenced by it on this tune.

[skjoyner]

The lick from 4:20 to 4:23 blows me away every time I hear & see it.

[rrrtbds12223]

@skjoyner its called sweep picking, and i agree it was bad ass.

[MrRottenotto2003]

@skjoyner

actually, the transition at 3:18 gets me every time....... a long slide transitioned by a very short note......... great use of timing to accent a change!

[MrRottenotto2003]

@MrRottenotto2003 but, damn, yer right........... that phrase just blows me away, too!!!!!!!!!!!

[otaku8489]

Can anyone tell me please exactly what guitar he is using?

[creation23]

@otaku8489 It's a Suhr modern.. porbably mahogany body and neck with a rosewood fingerboard.. maple top.. SSH+ , FL, SSV+ I'm guessing. Pretty common combination.

[CaptainGill1]

@otaku8489 its a suhr guitar,i figured this out when i watched a scott henderson video

[nynono]

1:28 Shit Gets Real !!

[TheTmn8]

What is the model of this guitar?

[burtamax1]

This Composer Has Perfected His Own Style. His Influences Are Obviously In Good Taste.An Underated Professional By All Means.This Composition Didn't Happen Overnight. Overall 5 Stars And Shouldn't Be Compared To Any Other Musician Or Band. This Is Original Stuff And A Sensation To Listen To. A Guitarmaster In Disquise. I Almost Envy Steffen But, I Won't Be Disrespectful And Dislike His Videos, He Really Deserves Some Credit For His Extraordinary Talent And Raw Skill.....

[OnderDill]

@burtamax1 I agree with your facts. But besides that.. there seems to be a problem with either your shift key, or your Caps Lock. You might want to look into that.

Don't thank me, it's what I do.

[alloverchronic]

who ever dislike this can suck stephens dick

[ricta9]

70 dont know wtf is up.

[Toxopixle]

AWESOME shit

[AgurkTomatGulerod]

Suhr guitars!

[Zbrapateja]

71 retards think shredding is "The Way To Play MachoMan Guitar"

[caligula304]

Extraordinaire!!!

A genius !!!!!

[ricta9]

71 people are completely clueless



[fymaster79]

71 "creatures" don´t like real music made with real heart

[rosepopje125]

I believe his wife is very happy with the speed of his hands

[BananaFromMars]

Does anyone know if you can buy tabs for this song? I looked at the Candyrat website where you can download lots of tabs.. but not for this song!

[Hippiebus92]

@axeshred103 I somehow feel you're incorrectly insinuating this isn't porn?

[darkeyeballs]

k that CRAP he does at 5:24 is not allowed. Stop making me look like an inferior guitar player, jerkass

[orbiterred]

Not a big shredder fan but man this got groooooove - nice chops man!

[matze193]

what a bummer there are no tabs available to bu for this song!

[sommervilleTRS117]

@matze193 ..look in the description ....one down ...

[DivineCheezit]

He looks like Richard Hammond haha

[ftr2216]

@DivineCheezit jeremy and james were the ones behind the camera

[thiswasrigged1]

Wait for it wait for it wait for it wait for it.....ohhhhh!!!! @1:30!!!! eargasm!!!!

[displeeco]

makes it look easy. lol

[TheBibleWitness]

Totally amazing.

[publicmasturbator666]

i cryed a bit .... 0___0

[7TRIBUTE7]

STEFFEN, YOU HAVE PLEASED THE METAL GODS. YOU HAVE ALSO PLEASED ME. CREAMED MYSELF PRETTY GOOD ON THIS 1!!!

[TheBanyanEmperor]

Kinda like Steve Morse, but better....which is a strange thing to say

[1Joren]

1:19 SO PRO O_O

[vukdim]

what kind of distortion pedals does he use m8s?

[alloverchronic]

@vukdim chakingers overdrive!

[MiniZee]

Holy fuck. I'll never be that good.

[Str0dey]

that opening riff is so sweet! \m/

[AliasLykken]

Sådan Steffen :)

[pennclick]

Perfection.

[nettips]

Tak, Schackinger!

[mamusic4me]

You may have sold your soul for this ability playing with such an incomparible godly talent. great. thanks for sharing! regards

[rossmat707]

sounds like Jack Jonhson to me

[1505Zin]

Sounds most like Steffen Schackinger ;o)))

[beefcakeDS]

sounds alot like guthrie govan to me

[DepletedGuitarist]

Heavily influenced by Eddie Van Halen eh?

[slanderoushalo]

@DepletedGuitarist sounds more like Eric Johnson influence to me.

[Ev1on]

pause porn . . .

[JMan9391]

Does anybody have a tab of this song? I want to (attempt to) learn it, lol.

[marcusvan]

Reminds me of like John 5 or Jason Becker or even Vai? more melodic

[simily22]

Never fails to make me super happy when hearing to this kinda awesome stuff

[sachary]

gotta admit, this is one of the few "youtube" electric guitarists that I can tolerate listening to over and over again. It's because this guy's on a different level in my opinion. It's not just the awesome-to-the- point- of- silly rifts... the man can compose some beautiful themes, all in one song. I hope to hear more and more.

[Swingfinger]

reminds me so much of Cliffs of Dover

[doojamaflick]

This made the right half of my brain smile.

[ThaGearOfWar]

@doojamaflick what about your left half?

[WALRUSGooGooGooJoob]

Too Good...

[capellasistin]

Time and again - this melts me down... I am all gooey with bliss

[garmin000]

im proud to live in the same town as him; Odense, Denmark

[nathanPWN]

why isnt this guy more popular than lil wayne? he plays guitar waaaaaaaaaay better than that undeserving "artist"

[rex96100]

that look he made at the end seemed like he said to himself "did i just do that, oh. my. god." epic stuff :D :D

[RindraRado]

By the gods man, haven't heard anyone use bends like this in a looooooooong while.

[ricfrancururu]

THE BEST

saudações brasileiras........... uhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[spmartin]

This is both inspirational and intimidating all at the same time. Kinda like when you laugh and cry at the same time. His is a "guitar god" for our time.

[DuartChannel]

I love that guitar, yaaaa!

[GuillermoSmyser]

What's most amazing to me (even beyond his amazing technique) is that he never stops grooving. Even when he is going nuts on the technique it's still in the pocket and perfectly musical.

I can only imagine what he can do when he is just noodling to himself at full speed.

[Lazzle22]

It's funny cuz this guy doesn't look like he's very good, but then you're like "..... holy fuck *jaw drop*"

[nick978]

1:26 What a sick entrance to a song!!

[mcbeardson]

So, I can have your guitar? Thanks man.

[NEXutTORUSramenMETAL]

I clapped

[RollschueBB]

@NEXutTORUSramenMETAL I came

[Deadlock3386]

5:20 amazing idea!!!

[boredonnessosity]

it almost irritates me that im the only one my age where i live that really likes this kind of music. i have to say that while i dont have a favourite artist i do have a favorite label. I love candyrat records.

[DoctorDoubleO]

Steve vai??? Whos that????

[Scream4Rock]

@DoctorDoubleO

Are you stupid, I know that you're joking, but i think that you're stupid.

[DoctorDoubleO]

@Scream4Rock i love you

[sachary]

everytime i hear this i'm blown away

[lnoitcudesI]

70 people tried to look up tabs for this and the tab site said.

 *Prerequisites : you need an ungodly amount of talent and swag.*

[iRunLikeSonic]

3:30 -.- I'm going to break my guitar now... 

[JOAOwithSARAH]

@iRunLikeSonic I mean... it's so freakin' perfect

[NevrSayDie24]

It's sooo Bill and Tedish..good tune.

[KowalFilms]

Come to America!!!

[xLLSupreme]

Holy fuck I love this!! SO MUCH TALENT!!

[JULESRULES9969]

You can see all the hours hes put into his guitars. see how long it takes you to do part 1:25-1:30 as fast and cleanly as he does.

[Outie1179]

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT AT THE END?! OMG I CREAMED MYSELF

[TheReighnart]

at 0:57 you can feeeeeeel this song wanting to go Cliffs of Dover. Why Steffen? We wouldn't have been mad. Go for cliffs bro!

[ZeldaxLegacy]

When he is jamming at a slower pace he reminds me of Gilmore.

[DancinDane]

The intro is just...amazing :)



[eskymo30]

Come on lay down some more tracks on a new album, ElectirGuitartisty is a awesome album. I need more, I need an fix. You sound just like Steve Morse, which is an complement. You kick A** dude keep up the great work. ROCK ON!

[fymaster1979]

Nice job man, great playing skills! Keep on rockin

[TheDanceofjoy]

one of the most musical young guitar players who is both brilliant in technique and musicality.

[ShadyCrux]

yes that is sweep picking - looks like a Dm arpeggio to me

[brockulese]

I really haven't seen anyone who can keep up with this guy. The comparisons people try to make just seem silly to me.

[wiccan143]

aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwsome !!!!

[wiccan143]

aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwsome !!!!1

[Epilettico]

70 PERSONE STARNUTENDO HANNO CLICCATO NON MI PIACE!

[Organimation]

1:01 I thought it killed the vibe at first, but then the later phrases just pulled me right back in. Reminds me of Joe pass' style. I dig it.

[Noahmano]

BRILLIANT!!

[insaneguitarfreak]

Steffen making the guitar his bitch, as usual, that guitar must have gotten long nights of pleasure

[sregnathan]

3.51 TO 3.63......AWESOME....

[gbuyilog]

@sregnathan HOW DID YOU COME TO WRITE 3.63 ???????

[oliverandm]

@gbuyilog

Haha true what the fuck xD

[TW47B]

Jesus Christ , can't get anywhere near this. The man is a genius!!! Just keep plugging at it till it sounds something like. (BRILLIANT)

[1505Zin]

@TW47B  Hi... please listen to his "City Lights"... a little jazzy in the beginning, but take it to the finish.

Simply world class.

Greetings from Morten/DK

[TW47B]

@1505Zin  Thanks! And your right world class and a bit more!!!!!!

[TW47B]

@1505Zin Greetings and thank you Morten, should have said that on my reply, my applolgies.

[icallgreens]

one of bob dylan's many children

[Lct2001]

hell must have a youtube so envious that pass for here!

[hermance]

Now just write Funeral on your forehead and you'll beat the crap out of chicken man.

[TheFriedTurtle]

Alot of influence from Eric Johnson by the sounds of it :D It's AWESOME!!

[alloverchronic]

3:30 to 3:50 so powerfull!!

[Toolshred]

@alloverchronic hell yes!

[badthirtyone]

Simply one of the greatest players to have ever held an instrument. Songs flow out of this guy like water.

Aggresive or gentle, and everything in between. This guy is a master.

[badbluesdaddy]

I wouldn't mind stealing ALL of these licks! I often put Steffen's vids on in the background while working on something else. Invariably, I always have to come back to see what he is scorching! Check out that little flash run at 3:23 to 3:25. Sweet.

[hijituso]

3:30 to 3:52 is EPIC

[EMGlespaulMESA]

how the fuck doesw this vid only have 566,000 when that dude with the blue sg supreme (funny faces) "the best guitar improv" has like 22 mil. this is all backwards.

[sommervilleTRS117]

@EMGlespaulMESA mystery guitarman ? lol cuase he is funny he is nt a real guitar player he just makes funny videos thats why :P

[EMGlespaulMESA]

@sommervilleTRS117 i know silly me, i am hopless in thinking there should be some order in this world. best guitar improv is funny, i just think this deserves more views. i mean hell the girl with the friday song haS MILLIONS OF HITS. FIN MISTER PREGNANT has mad hits. sorry for caps to lazy to retype (not yelling)

[sommervilleTRS117]

@EMGlespaulMESA hahah yeah! i inow what you mean..for record most of her views are probally out of hate...lol 

[andrevisser888]

now this is what i call "the shitt"!!! great to watch!!!!

[gugaman928]

Such a nice guitar! Soooooo gooood music!!!! <3

[TheMadRabbi666]

@1:51 Whenever I see truly amazing guitar players play powerchords, I always wonder if their brain just shuts off for a second because it cannot comprehend how low of a level of difficulty and uniquness it is. Then they go back to playing awesomness, and the brains like "MUCH BETTER!"

[LlamaTheory]

What was that magic trick he did at the end? Anyone?

[Outie1179]

1:00 xD >.>... <.< what next..

[RawkinOutt]

@Outie1179 lmao



[chesireTac]

is anybody monitering his sex life??? we need to make sure the world keeps making guitarists like this!!

[KhaoNeu]

@chesireTac His guitar is all you need to worry about. Mind your damn business.

[chesireTac]

@KhaoNeu well we know who's sex life we dont need to monitor ... cuz someone's not gettin any lol ... rawr haha

[KhaoNeu]

@chesireTac Nah. That's not true at all. I understand your interest though.

[abnavj]

i can just say WOW!!

[randomiseit]

fucking hell richard hammond quit top gear now

[rrrtbds12223]

4:19 thats some bad ass sweeping arpeggio.

[SoilworkFAN]

@rrrtbds12223 just a correction. it either be that some bad ass sweep picking or that some bad ass arpeggios

because a arpeggio is a sweep pick it's arpeggiating a chord playing it 1 at a time w/o letting the others ring out

But yes it is bad ass :)

[chubbydumpling109]

@SoilworkFAN Although arpeggios aren't always necessarily sweep picked, therefore he's still correct. Arpeggios can be string skipped aswell, and each note can be picked.

[rrrtbds12223]

@SoilworkFAN no, it was a sweeping arpeggio... look it up.

[Ghostman7777]

@rrrtbds12223

Holy fuck you weren't kidding. Completely caught me by surprise. Wow...

[alloverchronic]

how in the hell can some one would dislike this :S

[whouston33wh]

That ending just destroyed me. You killed me. Thanks Steffen.

[efmag00]

501 likes on FB

[demonrabbit83]

I was the 500th person to like him on FB.  Lol

[SeriogiNhere]

those 69 dislikers probably jizzed their pants on 1:19

[GrahamQueen]

fuckin ripe

[conrado17]

1:32 ''Saw how cool that was Oo?''

[AngelOfDeath1897]

Studio version should have the epic intro!

[flatop59]

Some unison,and counterpoint stuff,very Steve Morse in some bars,cool...

[nick978]

Jesus, what an entrance to a song!!

[stevespeeder]

One of the best melody makers of today!

[vicecitymodgameridol]

Please Steffen, the world needs more musicians like you, please keep doing it!

[gbuyilog]

i figured how to play this until 01:06 and after that is is too fast but i can play the riff at 01:30

[mcwaddle]

anyone else feel like there playing sonic right now?

[therising1]

1:16 to 1:26 may be the greatest non-stop riff I've ever heard.

[BeyondtheMeasure]

Would love to see him "wet" out his signal some more. A little more clever use of reverbs or delays would really give his music a lot more atmosphere.

Guess it's just me who is used to a lot of John Petrucci playing with his "anti-dry signal lead tone". Awesome playing though!

[therising1]

@BeyondtheMeasure Oh, you mean gimmicks? :)

[marleysheredder]

This guy is on same degree with Guthrie Govan and Alex Huthings!!!

[MrHelloGuitar]

@Kritter1musicFuneral It's a Suhr.

[DiabeticMafia]

eat your heart out bucket head.

[gr0smarc0]

This song's made your day.... But THIS song's made my life!

[deathbysmurf989]

I wish he would record videos for other songs on Electriguitartistry cd like X and Y and On A Rainy Night. Those songs are bitchin'!

[tulsabillh]

good....lord...@3:23

[MrWhoRain]

just awsome......

[hemmelight]

Gorgeous Suhr!

[silnetofsn]

Please, upload more of ur songs!!! U´ve got such unique style! beautiful!

[FrozenGoods101]

This song makes me happy. haha

[OnderDill]

Hello, I'm Steffen Schackinger and I have a shitload of talent.

[TheDJNaylor]

[Sascha1900]
