  • Steffen is one of the greatest guitarists in the world,realy like his music.

  • This is the feeling in wich many guitarrist should think about and stop only running, we are not betters than others, we are musicians and we have to have feeling not ego.

  • I really admire steffen's ability to compose and improvise- Can't stop listening to this song!

  • What a beautiful arranged solo at 2:41

  • awsome great sound take that :D

  • Beautiful guitar playin !

  • he forgot to button his sleeves

  • I just presed the like button and stop breathing . . .

  • Amazing

    

  • RARRRRRRRR!!! another incredible artist , geez, i think candyrat, scooped em allup , good job, freakin AAAAA, well good god i cant think of enough words to say, WOWOWOWOWOW

  • 3:30 .. eargasm :/

  • 3:00...holyshit

    

  • 19 people this 19 people that w.e they're just faggots

  • 19 people are just jealous of his bad ass shirt

  • I know someone that disliked this video. He's in a bodybag in my basement now.

  • man he's so good that 19 people think this is fake!

  • Comment removed

  • Great tone and of course the vibrato is amazing

  • i just HAD to pick up my guitar, and play the first 40 seconds over and over again :) Great ´folky´ riff ^^

  • everybody is sayin wat guitarists he reminds them of....you no who he reminds me of? STEFFEN SHACKINGER!

  • Perfect tone. Perfect technique and phrasing. Perfect.

  • pure genius!

  • @Ironmaidengeeky That wasn't what i said :)

  • thankyou very much for your origanallity and great skills

  • cool musik grat guitar playing - he is almost guitar guro - great to be able to put another Dane next to Lars ulrich - king diamond -and mike tramp (white lion ) etc. coole to be Dane :-)

  • @kkmikkel Yngwie aint got shit compared to this xD

  • @TanthalasMajere Your right, yngwie is much better

  • Quite tasty... reminds me of Vinnie Moore mixed with just a splash of Steve Morse for seasoning. I really like this number just as I would a fine bottle of red wine and I now want to sit in the dark with this and other selections and a really good bottle of Merlot. The true artist has a signature sound... Vai, Satch, Moore, Jeff Beck, Carlton, Santana ect... someone that you instantly recognize within justs a couple of measures of play. The pen flows well here as you sign your name.

  • He is the new yngwie malmsteen :D

  • very wonderful !!!GREAT, je suis enchantée, Irène

  • I can picture Dio singing about slaying demons to this shit lol (RIP)

  • Teach me master... a mix between Steffen, Santana, and Esteban and i should be good to go. Maybe some Jimmy techniques, but its gonna be a lil hard to get lessons from him, so....

  • this dude should have more views than this...

  • очень даже неплохо)

  • 3.21 is absolute perfection. That's what guitar playing is about!! Not that w..nking of speed. Speed and technique should serve musicality, harmony and not take central stage.

  • @Bibinou68 : Actualy I meant 3.28.

  • Can someone give me the name of the original song + band?

  • @BlueACFC lol it is a song of him...

  • looks like he is holding a huge pick

  • I will practice THAT much harder, today, having seen this first thing in the morning!!! Musicians like this are sophenomenal, that if you aren't inspired, you might end up throwing up your hands and quit! For now,,,I stay INSPIRED!!!

  • AMAZING!

  • Awesome talent!!!

  • it doesn't matter if you take lessons from a god or teach yourself, great skill comes from 3 things - enthusiasm, determination, and effort

  • @danielilov

    Damn straight. I'm primarely self taught(i took two weeks of lessons on guitar theory... wasn't my thing it was more homework than anything). I'm better than most people i know who have taken lessons, reason being the three things you mentioned. I always find a song i want to learn that is slightly past my skill range and push myself to learn it. As far as i'm concerned its the best way to learn

  • exactly what i do myself =)

  • @danielilov In other words make it your life :)

  • @thebytegrill thats what you have to do, if you wan to succeed a this love, yes i say love , it has nothing to do with money, we do this because we love this, i eat shat sleep guitar mornin noon and nigh and then dream and then all over again day after day 24/7 an, i love this game!

  • @danielilov I'll say practice ; desire ; motivation.

  • @danielilov No one could have said it better, honestly.

  • @danielilov And talent, some people can never get this good.

  • @danielilov Why doesn't this comment have 1000+ thumbs up?

  • @jkshoujk dislikes have no taste for music.....they play with themselves instead.

  • @danielilov - Read what flogthedoggy said again.The aspects you quote are essential but you cannot be so arrogant to think that no other person can teach you anything. As a pro player, i know you will certainly only achieve a one-dimentional aspect to playing if you go it alone, no matter how good you think you are. Musical development is all about interaction and experience. Nobody is an island and absolutely nobody gets as good as Steffen does without lessons and loads of external input.

  • @danielilov and talent.

  • @danielilov

    I don't agree with you dear,i am 55 and had to learn all buy ear(no tabs and internet at that time) and it was a long time ago.I was playing and make good money for living.

    I tried to learn my son but all he can do is play chords but alone not in group.He can't hear false notes so in my opinion people are born with talent,some people never discover there talent.Just check kids playing on youtube,they are born with feelings for music,about the rest you are right.

  • it is true that vai took lessons at an early age from satch and it had no doubt made a great deal of difference in his progression as a musician , however vai practiced , took the time to understand the concepts of music and the bravery and fortitude to follow his own vision of musical expression

  • @flogthedoggy if you listen to Vai, you notice how much Zappa, and Hendrix influence his playing and note choice. but hes definately got his own thing going, but he does borrow quite a bit

  • It's great 5*****

  • Wow

  • his fingers might looks like tiny sausages but his playing surely isn't suffering from that

    Simply beautiful

  • does anyone just listen to the music for what it is anymore , just enjoy it, I'm sure that steffen has heard and studied other musicians , thats why he is so fluent , beethoven studied with wagner, vai studied with zappa , hammet studied with santriani, no one person can lay claim to absolute invention of sound , I hear an evolved musical expression in this and other pieces in his brilliant compositions, thank you steffen you are an inspiring composer ,and i look forward to more of you music

  • haha its not a bad thing if anything it makes me enjoy his music more he is truely a great musican

  • @flogthedoggy I agree he's just like an actual guitar legend in the making, I see lots of guitarists from candyrat but he's really something else.

  • the word you're looking for is electric

  • Thats very true,And yes Stefen played violyn/piano before guitar at age 13studying Bach,Paganini,Strvinsky,Sondhe­im.

    He also was influenced by Hendrix,Vai,Zappa,Johnson,Hold­sworth,Gambale,Clapton,Benson,­Carlton,Knopfler,Morse, And many others.He is a very well rounded musician as clearly heard in his composition's and his playing.Cant wait for his next project.I wish there were some vids of his first mainstream band called Merzy.But havent found anything yet.

  • Steffen,sorry.

  • flogthedoggy, Vai took lessons from Joe Satriani, thats why hes good

  • lessons are important but you and your personal thoughts and expressions , tastes, feelings and determination to share them with people are more important then just lessons, listening to Schackinger is already a strong plus in your favor study and practice and think for yourself Rachmaninoff never met Paganini but Rachmaninoff I think would have made Paganini feel understood and neither of them played the same instrument

  • @flogthedoggy That was an excellent comment. Too bad you didn't quite spell "your" right as you completely left out the "r" .xD

  • @flogthedoggy very well spoken.

  • @flogthedoggy

    vai studied with satriani..

    satriani taught him everything..

  • @FuckmeimFamousz

    Complete fabrication - Satch gave Vai a small number of informal lessons when Vai was 14 years old -Thats it. Vai got his Zappa job, Whitesnake and record contracts years before Satch ever got a deal. In fact it was Vai who helped persuade the record label to give Satch his deal in the 1st place

  • very steve vai like

  • Kewl

  • Seems to me like he using more gain than he usualy does in this video. Its nice. I love how their are so many different moods and feels in this song.

  • He is a genius...I'm so jelous.

  • Try converting the jealousy to inspiration to start practicing playing :P

  • Man, don't even say that. I do practice. Its insultng to just say that. I'm jelous, but i still practice from the time i wake up to night. I do online schooling just for more time. Man..

  • why is it insulting. he doesn't know you. "bitch I don't your life?" just be yourself, not him. and how simple or complex it is the thing you develop, it'll still be your own. that's the main thing.

  • (I'm not saying of tis angrily) It comes out that way in text though. I'm just insulted.

  • I was just making an ironic statement without prejudices towards any of you all here.

  • yeah me too

  • its BEETHOVEN on a guitar!!!

  • If anything, tone comes most from your ears cause that's how you listen to your amp eq, guitar, pickups, and technique.

  • tone comes mostly from your ears? Not really. You can't imagine your guitar will sound differently from how it really does. Your amp, guitar, pickups, etc is what determines that. Wtf are you talking about?

  • I mean if you have a good ear for tone you will be good at tweaking your sound.

    But the original post was to those people who say tone comes only from your fingers.

  • You're definitely right about that. We use our ears to judge how hard we should press down on the strings to get 'our' tone, as well as how to adjust the EQ, amp, pickups, guitar... etc. That's what I think anyway, and most professionals agree with me.

  • To that I will concede, yes, how you fret a guitar DOES affect your tone.

    (big picture here) I just get a frustrated when I read people who try to insinuate that sounding like someone else is IMPOSSIBLE because you don't "have their fingers".

    But that is where different amps guitars and eq come in. These things can compensate for how you play compared to someone else.

  • anyone know which time signature this is in and which key???

  • lol.

  • am guessing:

    beginns 7 beats to the measure then sandwiches 4

    oversimplified would be 7/4 and 4/4

    based on key of C Dorian mode

    scale would start on D on piano, all white keys

    no sharps or flats

    not sure where it morphs to in the middle

    tricky

    guy's a genius

  • Who cares?

  • I don't know if you're right, but WOW if you can figure all that out.

    Just being picky but I think you mean D dorian (which is all white notes on a piano, which is obviously the same as C Ionian, or Major)

    C Dorian would be taking Bb Major and starting and ending on the 2nd scale degree.

  • good catch, guillermo!

    D Dorian mode contains all notes the same as C major scale starting on D

    i like picky : )

  • hey Steffen, Why dont you join on youtube: Give me a riff competition... 33 seconds of drums.. and the rest u do by urself ^_^ u can win nice prices of $400.00. Think about it... there are already 230 people that joinend the contest! just typ in: Give me a riff cmpetition.. And click on the video from the bandit and he will tells u what to do.. and it says on more info ;) c grtz Alain Dilmen The Netherlands
  • he sits there like: Hell yeah im awesome ^^

    and... he's right :D

  • What pickup does he uses on this guitar?

    ANybody??? :/

  • I'm afraid all of that luscious tone is in his fingers :/

  • You are right but i still think stock 57' classics

    :)

  • That's kind of pointless to say. You're right if you mean his sound partly comes from how he presses frets or bends or plucks or strums, but he couldn't make a violin sound like this just with his fingers. I dunno why the 'tone from the fingers' thing just pisses me off but it does a little.

  • it might be a double coil humbucking system, not sure but I use to own a guitar like it some years ago with the same setup, not all are the same thought.

  • Gibson 57' plus

  • absolutely awesome song. love the celtic feel

  • Genius, but i like perfect waves more.

  • Sounds a little bit like Jethro Tull.. But that's just me.

  • Haha It really does!

  • hahaha yes! the flute is mising though.

  • Ah another good Irish song.

    I also like Phil keaggy "Shades of Green"

    acquostic.

  • Very Steve Morse - is that one of your inspirations?

  • Да это действительно виртуозно!! Представляю сколько труда вложено что бы так играть.Молодец!!

  • Bravo!

  • hes a real guitar virtuoso!  :D

  • That celtic intro... of course.

  • To me , it reminds me to MOldfield.

  • does anyone know where I can get the tabs for this? :)

  • Tabs are crap.. just use your ears.. then you get the true feeling.

  • u dont tab guitar mastery lyk ths

    u tab bands

  • boo thats like asking god for a spreadsheet of his daily plans

  • the intro sounds just like a song from Braid xD

  • ❺★★★★★

  • Coheed and Cambria-ish

    at 1:45-2:30

    that was pretty F'n cool

  • The Tap would be proud to have him make a guest appearance at the next Stone henge gig :)

  • reminds me of Coheed and Cambria stuff

    no lie, the way the song moves into different keys....wow

  • i agree hehe

  • wow!!! bravooo!! this young man has good ideas

  • "Keep it up!" is what I meant to say, soz.

  • Somehow the song reminds me of John Petrucci.

    But excellent playing and awesome riffs.

    Keet it up!

  • the solo at 2:41 is awesome!

  • lol, the whole song is one big solo^^

    but u're right =)

  • tablature for the part beginning at 1:13?

  • he'd be so cool to watch playing with a band like Jethro Tull

  • his precision and dexterity are incredible...you can't teach that kind of ability. verry nice!

  • very nice...!!! perfect solo :-)

  • WOAH... 1:47 shit is starting to go down.... Oh SNAP shit hits the fan at 1:58

  • hell yeah man thatd be insane

  • this is a real person u can look up to!

  • one of the greats!

  • i'll keep saying the same...please come to peru!!

  • It's amazing how you can make your guitar sound like an electric bag pipe.

  • man there are no good tabs for this anywhere, I can't wrap my head around this song, it's excellent

  • Like candy to a taste bud....

  • thats deep man

  • it sounds like something that u would find in riverdance...well the start does anyway...and i love riverdance its awsome

  • 1:59 to 2:07 sounded a lot like something you would hear in an Opeth song.

  • I love this piece XD it reminds me of pirates in a wierd way xD

  • this is so awesome : D

  • well, same to me.. thx for a new inspiration

  • this guy just re-inspired me to play my guitar more.

  • tabs are on ultimate-guitar!!

  • but just the intros T_T i guess ill have to figure it out bymyself

  • I think much bettter for this tune would be Stratocaster's sound.

    anyway i look forward to hear more Steffen's works.
