Gareth Pearson - Thriller (Michael Jackson) - Solo Acoustic Guitar

[bearsfannick]

you rock !!!!!!!!!!!

[scottchristopherband]

"Your....Amazing dude"

[loranalary]

realiZing this ..I am amaSed. :o)

[67chevy7]

both realize, or realise, are niether incorrect. american spell check will count "realise" as wrong. English foreign spell check will count "realize" wrong as well. I really don't know why that even matters, since it has nothing to do with the music we should all enjoy as people here.

[fraserelliottguitar]

@67chevy7 neither*

[ShanesBlog]

Well played brother.

[axegas76]

Amazing, bravo.

[Siberianhusky89]

He should have done Smooth Criminal.

[megavsw]

guitar runs through his vains

[sixstringslinger85]

Watching this has helped me realise my problems.... Cleary I do not gurn enough whilst playing :-)

That and I'm fucking poo besides.

[anonymouslol]

I can hear the Tommy E in you, keep playing forever my friend you`re going to have a good career.

[FrozenGoods101]

I'm pretty addicted to this song. I'm feeling it for some Igor waka waka now. haha

[katieltom]

are there any tabs for this???

[lesdee]

he's a cyborg. that was insaaaane

[fingerling1231]

Guy calm down, it's realise. Silly Americans spelling stuff wrong.

[Ulysses447]

@fingerling1231 Just watch the damn video. XD

[pseudogenesis]

@fingerling1231 Who are you calling American you... you... not American person!

Take that!

[elektrica00]

@fingerling1231 ur both wrong

[anonymouslol]

@fingerling1231 re·al·ize (redirected from realising) re·al·ized, re·al·iz·ing, re·al·iz·es, 1. To comprehend completely or correctly.

2. To bring into reality; make real: He finally realized his lifelong ambition to learn how to play the violin.

3. To make realistic: a film that realizes court life of the 17th century.

5. To bring in (a sum) as profit by sale.

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@anonymouslol what if he's U.K? ;)

[fraserbrycelaing]

i am totally addicted to this at the moment....what an arrangemnet and great great feel man....fuck aye

[Makaz1995]

I would be lying out my ass if I said this tune isnt catchy as hell!

[Shaewaros]

This only makes me want to watch the original thriller once more - but maybe that's the whole point. =)

[drakey27]

TALENT!!!!!

[fluffyblonddoink]

MAGIC!!!

[HomaLilyMoheimani]

wow, what an interesting take on it!! so different but i love it!! and thriller of course :) great job my friend!

[JayLovePlaysGuitar]

@FrankSherryMusic No, they're actually cello strings

[bigjacksack64534231]

fukin hell.that was cool like x x x x x x

[franckynamy]

i give u 15/5 !

[narvather]

REALLY REALLY REALLY.... (1000) GREAT!!!

[GustavoGreatGuitar]

Fantastic

[drummerama]

@2:07 - 2:10

Standard Tuning?

[littledevil8m]

HOLY FUCK. This would still be awesome even if I wasn't high right now:P

[noelmeehan]

Ok Justin Bieber, do this then i'll buy one of your cd's... ops, you can't. Money saved.

[summer11740]

good work man you did a great job :)

[spamodell]

Facial expression Win at 1:52

[minxydude]

How old is he?? Looks very young

[0turtlepower0]

WHAT IS THE TUNING FOR THIS SONG ALREADY!?!

[jennyrxx]

how are you not famous...

[komodomoe]

I like this guy because he looks like hes enjoying playing. Antoine Dufour looks so depressed when he plays...

[chicken6111]

@komodomoe He does look depressed a little, but it's all passion and heartfelt I think. Doesn't mean he's upset, just looks to me like what he's doing really means something to him. Gareth is really jamming lol it's great, but I still respect both styles equally. I think it's all in the personal approach and ultimately the dynamics and sound of the end product rather than how they look. Just my opinion.

[tedphilo]

Wicked!!!!

[PenguinarityProd]

Haha im listening to your music while studying for my finals cause it calms me down... Thanks Gareth :D gonna be buying your albums for sure!

[CREWSID4]

ahh he just played tonight in sebastopol cali! dedicatred this song to me! so stoked!! you kill it gareth! thanks for the boost! keep up the good work! hope to hear from you!

[shrnthegroove]

I laugh so hard when I see these people that get on the internet to heckle people. I just picture some dude typing something and being like ' oooh burn' LMAO. That shi! is priceless.. Really guys you actually devote time to this? I feel bad for you for real though because your empty inside and angry because of it. Love is the only way to happiness...Negativity perpetuates.

[farley94553]

@shrnthegroove Ooooh burn!

[mpalin11]

Wow! Just .... wow

[elvarge0]

so proud of my self, i can do the tapping part :')

[rock23845]

what tapping part?

[elvarge0]

@rock23845 were he jst taps on the guitar :L

[ruminator77]

Which planet are u from mate?

[ricardogranelli]

@ruminator77 Tatooine =p

[ruminator77]

@ricardogranelli

Well dont let the Tusken raiders get that guitar! 

[xSoilderx]

My mind got blown...

[Innertroll]

@KrummyBear hahahahaha PAWNED

[ulyssessundance]

finally, I can play "Thriller" at a dinner party and not be embarrassed that I'm playing "Thriller".

[teambyb]

what can i say i love it :D sounds just like the real thing. you got the voicing plus the rhythm combined. is there anyway we can find the tabs for this?

[chesspro22k]

Luke i am your father!!

[83ishgirl]

Very nice acoustic arrangement. Sounds great! I like it. I also like that he smiles occasionally whie he is playing, just enjoying playing his guitar. That's all that matters is that he is having fun.

[th3ric]

My god... What a talent.

[Brainyy297]

Makes me proud to be welsh :D

[RobMendell]

@KrummyBear for a dude who claims to not like Gareth, you sure seem to be listening to all his songs and commenting on them.. you should change your name to DummyBear ...you just jealous nobody listens to your shitty trumpet playing, you suck dick for bus money and then walk home anyway

[TimboBandit]

What guitar are you playing?

[corona0707]

for the love of god, somebody tab this.would if i could.

[Corssene00]

fuck u

[MrGengisSean]

AWE-FUCKING-SOME

[LostMusicalMeanings]

I AM SO JEALOUS FOR THE BEGGINING :O

[saiyan253]

I didn't realice that Luke Skywalker plays the Guitar xD

[obesityofego]

@saiyan253 The force is strong with this one

[kaputasri]

@saiyan253 Vader is his father so anything is possible for him.

[Johnzors]

@saiyan253 I didn't realize, "realize" was spelled with a c.

[4tea9ers]

@saiyan253

Really? Everybody thumbed up this guys comment so everybody can see he can't spell realize? That's screwed up.

[eddymondo]

@4tea9ers His comment has a bad infestation of lice...

[ramjamz99]

soulmobiline - dope song i'e check it out. and while your there you can scroll up to the playlist and listen to all of this guys juicy music not that yours is'nt already sick (;

[ramjamz99]

@ramjamz99 my bad the dope songs real name is slowmobilin i love it i now you all would too :(D>

[HamadArty]

That is not Thriller :P lol... But good guitar playing

[R3yK1d]

@HamadArty yes it is o.0

[HamadArty]

@R3yK1d

lol well the chorus and the bridge are correct. But the verses are totally wrong. Not really similar to the original if you actually listen to it.

[MichaelSmithComposer]

@HamadArty There's a reason they call this an arrangement you ass.

[HamadArty]

@MichaelSmithComposer First thing, please don't be childish and disrespectful. I'm always up for a good discussion and I was simply expressing my opinion. I have the right to do that. Second thing, arranging an existing song means that you can play around with it as much as you like. Now, I've seen other songs and arrangements by this guy and his work is simply amazing. I'm just not feeling this one that much. I really pefer the original chords in Michael's version. Again, this is MY opinion.

[AquiseBaila]

@HamadArty OMG!

[phlr332]

Chinese Whispers? Great melodic Music. Notice I said Music. Anyway, whatever your opinion, the day you have one of the worlds greatest trumpet players name a tune after you, then your opinion may carry something. At least Tommy Emmanuel holds him in high regard.

[huffalmighty]

You sir, are awesome.

[ExtraMude]

By the end of this video, my left leg started jumping up and down and my right foot started twitching back and forth, CAUSE THIS IS THILLER! HeeeeeHEEEEEEEEE!

[HolyCheeseDish]

bummed that i can't find a tab for this anywhere?

[IFoundFunny]

I like this guy

[DafTacoustics]

Salieri would be really pissed off/jealous at you if heard this...good job

[Kevin17761984]

SICK!!!

[GiTsticker]

3:19 HEEEEEEE HEEEEEEE!

[joeybagadonutz23]

@KrummyBear

What is it that you have against Gareth? He's a great guy, an excellent musician, and I'm pretty sure that like the rest of us he has no idea who you are.

Jazz is ripe with "shitty ass covers", just like every other genre of music. Thanks for gracing us with your humorous comments and your awe inspiring 3 octaves on trumpet. Straight to my iPod guy.

[Victory1990]

talented guy!!

[Eliminator5555]

This guy is a BEAST!

[penguinchris796]

I love how happy you look playing this

[deejayprincess]

this is amazin

[whatsthatsmelltv]

I can listen to this all day.

[Joashgamit]

He can dance while he sit's.Is that right? THUMBS UP.

[Dasilvarenegade]

thats the stuff right there

[DrNitro09]

3 words: O-M-G

[Natenjrc]

Any one else like the facial expressions he makes while he is play?

I think its cool makes him look like he is enjoying it a lot more :)

[Natenjrc]

@Natenjrc Playing*

[imillimill]

well done brother...well done indeed...keep the goodness flowing

[KaSMuNi]

0:50 - and 0:58 Orgasmic Plucking!

[richcaddick]

Fuckin MINT mate:)

[ualbanychemist]

OMG what a waste of money on the tab for this ill never be able to play this lol

[naryanr]

I could hardly discern Thriller in there but it was a cool song nonetheless.

[zaicesaridi]

doesn't even sound like thriller, sorry

[MusoJTM]

I wish i liked this guy for a reason other than because hes fucking awesome : )

[fouramhq]

Gareth is amazing. Doing this tune in standard tuning would amaze Chet Adkins.

[RDdOg78]

Mario Bros soung!!!!lol!!!!

[XRogerMellieX]

Thank christ for the tabs Gareth... love your music mate, you're a world-class talent :)

[workman845]

why do you get to play in andy's house?

[fvibhr]

maybe the best guitar player in all world ?

[sgmaweb]

ke grosooooooooooooooooo

[mikkun0221]

So nice.

[sonnyjimm]

his fingers are like MJ dancing on the fret board

[dafthad]

nie chce sie wierzyć że tyle osób to zminusowało...

[ravnitrogue]

@eljacko dude, someone who has worked towards playing like this is allowed to be cocky lol

[goumork]

cool songs...you are incredible ...maybe you have tabs i would like play as you

[tonyjahim]

manifique

[TheSongwriter34]

Awesome, highly original, and jaw droppingly good my friend.

[Arminhothebest]

@eljacko what do you mean by that?

[mogx290]

@eljacko where was you his sound engineer? I've heard that he is a top guy. Shows players things, hangs out etc.

[xto135]

@eljacko so you were a sound engineer at a festival you cannot remember?

Boy, you have a major problem El whacko. Jealousy or what?

[eljacko]

@xto135 Mate, Chill the fuck out!

He is a brilliant guitarist and I'm not going deny that! There's just a bit of a personality clash between the two of us!

I couldn't remember which festival it was because I worked on a number of them this summer, and when you work as much as I do it all tends to blend into one!

So fuck off and go back to the fucking job centre to leech off us fuckers who work and pay taxes you Shit Prick! GROW THE FUCK UP!

[mogx290]

@eljacko Personality Clash? Boy, I can believe it with your attitude. Do yourself a favour, go and learn some manners and kerb your attitude! I thik it may well have been you who thought a lot of himself rather than Gareth Pearson.............if you really are a soundguy which I very much doubt. Soundguys tend to keep their opinions to themselves, rather than rant in public. Cannot remember the festival? I would have.

[shrnthegroove]

@eljacko Dont be jealous bro...

[djacidweed]

@eljacko why ?

[grk77536]

@eljacko How do you expect us to believe that? You sound as if your arrogance is greater than his for all we know. Hence the jealousy easily perceived through your use of language.

[MusoJTM]

@eljacko

He looks like it lol, but did you enjoy it?

I really want to be a sound engineer, after i leave school in a year, after you have like got a bachelor in sound production, how do you get work and how do you get your name out there???

[xto135]

@MusoJTM You should ask a sound engineer not someone who is pretty jealous of this player for some reason or another! El whacko cannot even remember which festival? Youtube really does give a platform for talentless wannabe's to pass ignorant comments. El jacko being a good example.

[eljacko]

@MusoJTM I have no idea why everybody is kicking off??Ah well whatever, I did enjoy the show hes one of the best guitarist i have ever seen. Yes I do wish i could play like that so peopel just need to chill the fuck out. :P All i was saying is that he knows he's amazing but has to try and make you know that youre not as good as him.

Well im currently in Uni doing Live Sound Engineering. There's a loads of ways to get into it. Just build up a portfolio and start small. Its tedious but persist!

[jakesishful]

@eljacko i think its okay to be a little cocky if you play that good

[jamietruman]

@eljacko He can afford to be.

[areus1989]

justin biber sucks balls !

[DavidPileGuitar]

@areus1989 I think ur watching the wrong vid dude

[JimboSverkin]

Freakin amazing! I heard this on the Echoes radio program, and I had to watch the video to see how one guy could carry the base line while playing a fairly difficult melody. It is just awesome how good this guy is! Could have summed it up in one word: Wow!

[ibanezplayer91]

he is by far the greatest musician that ive heard thus far, not a disapointing one yet, some what of an inspiration to better my music. thank you gareth pearson

[OTorehnai]

what tuning?

[skintmwc]

@OTorehnai standard, i saw him last night and got talking to him an he said all of this songs are in either standard or drop d=]

[OTorehnai]

I want to learn this one.

[salsadance22]

NICE :D !!!

[Baysan77]

Damn... This groove gets under your skin and doesn't let go. I honestly started dragging my feet on the floor and wiggling my shoulders at around 3:26... Bravo.. xD

[coil311]

Added to my favorites. Will convert to mp3 later and play for friends. Thanks for the great rendition Gareth.

[TheIrishPatriot]

THat was awsome!! Good job : )

[MatthijsDH]

Great job man, i really enjoyed this song :)

[ignoreboco]

well i'm just gonna go throw my guitars away now.

[kamaJOPHRA]

SOMMET DE LA PERFECTION yesssss !!!

[TheBobnalyd]

not bad for a beginner ( You think I`m joking? Hes only been playing a few years!!!! )

[zedjaone]

hahah ohh that's so fricken awesome :)

[acousticx77mythil]

i just know one thng about u bro u are cool man

..........................and the way u keep your pinky on the soundbox and use your other fingers well i do the same ...............dont know many people say thts wrong

[bartholemueandjane]

[gergisawesome]

[Tarasepp]

This is pretty fucking sweet too

[ref10603]

[MrZeppelin1988]

@ref10603 That comment is starting to get old dude...

[excrote]

fucker sold his soul to the devil !! ( x

[nuttz1111]

fuck you gareth pearson i will never be this good. you might be the reason i give up playing guitar haha

[Ma0Rii]

@nuttz1111 Agreed haha.

[SabianAHX]

Dax Sheppard?

[xxkevinn]

@SabianAHX Definitely haha.

[garethpearsonmusic]

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

[PlatoXXII]

@garethpearsonmusic you are a shitty ass guitar player and i hate you.

I love you GP

[1lucho89]

@garethpearsonmusic

Hello Gareth!! Just wanted to say I have been watching your videos here on youtube and I think you are a phenomenal guitarist, an incredible talent you have i must say. I just noticed you have 77 dislikes on this video. Anyone who dislikes this is just jealous that they can't play this good. Your execution of bass chord and melody is perfect. Keep the videos coming, I'm here with my brother watching your videos our jaws have been dropped!! Greetings from Toronto, Canada!!

[DuhEnlightenedOne]

@garethpearsonmusic Needs more cowbell

[seanhiphop905]

@garethpearsonmusic Hey man, there will always be haters. You are an awsome guitar player, clever version of the song. I don't know how you came up with this.

[KrummyBear]

@garethpearsonmusic Hey, you're a cool hipster that is towards the bottom half of acoustic players on cadyrat! BIG SHIT POPPIN'!

[statusisforfools]

@KrummyBear hahah damn you're REALLY a dick , huh? Instead of INSISTING on being a total asshole, why don't you just show us YOUR playing

[KrummyBear]

@statusisforfools Yes, because that makes sense. My playing is already on youtube. And yes, jazz > Gayreth Pearson.

[statusisforfools]

@KrummyBear Your comment was too retarded for me to not respond.

Your opinion is just your opinion you'd probably be less of a nutsack and less liable to go to videos you don't like and leave pointless negative comments if you realized that. We all get it, you have an ego... this guy is obviously not trying to play jazz in this video so you are just being a dickhole.

@statusisforfools Yes, and I clearly am not trying to play shitty acoustic guitar covers.
