[AbraXaDabra]

Mind Blowing, thanks so much Kevin Keith for the many years taken to master this difficult instrument. Not a Robot, just in another world, performing.

[burlong01]

Oh man please make an extended version of this.

[HardenedTheSteel]

0:33

[cjuyy5]

Im pretty sure hes beatboxin in his head.

And why is it that all black guys have bigger equiptment anyhow?

[sagnikgangopadhyay]

i just tried to play my penis like that !! WOW !!

[Kiwictor]

OMG! Incredible! The bass groove from 00:35 is just great! Amazing!

[00Zenigata]

What The He.. . l .. l . . ???. How in the world was that even possible?!! my Freakin Ears and Eyes Just Showed Me Something Impossibly Amazing!

[tedmich]

Its standard Stanley Jordan piano on a fretboard 2 hand stuff now, and Chapman stix were invented when 30 years ago? I guess its part of the current "zither envy" that has brought us "tap only" 10-12 string shred with a bent pinch harmonic every other measure, yawn....He is a good player, but the whole no gain zombie faced jazzzz thing leaves me cold

[beyblademaster17]

that was the BEST 1:28 seconds of my LIFE

[stix471]

@beyblademaster17 88* ;)

[guitargodmister]

i want one of theese thats this quality cos it would be alot easier if the instrument wasent sucky

[lazerus8]

i can't stop listening to this song, i wish it was longer! this guy is amazing!

[gutterdweller]

What really scares me is that he barely ever looks down

[boobsarekool]

anyone have this mp3? its too good!

[sagarkaze]

LOVE IT!!!! Amazing!!!

[TheGameHive]

his face is so dry.

[GregarasGR]

where can i find such an instrument?

[Andragon90]

@GregarasGR It's called a Chapman Stick. Google it. PS. They're expensive.

[AverageEight]

Yeah... Play that stick, boy..... Smoooooth, like that. Just how Daddy likes it...

[wildcomfort88]

@AverageEight yeah play that shit for daddy nice and smooth boy before i whip you upside your head

[TheGameHive]

[Siah2000]

@invMAN89 me lol this is amazing

[BigHappy17420]

outstanding



[bonkersbananas2010]

this man has the rhythm in his soul for sure!!

[IIDMII]

Damn!!! This guy's dope!!

[donschiff]

Wonderful as always Kevin! /Don

[Firestorm686]

This is just... an all around sexual assault to my ears.

Gonna file a complaint to the awesome police.

[Kioth96]

HIJUEPU.!

QUE BIEN TOCA.!

[popeye2mil]

I'm really sure he is a robot i mean he doesn't even looks at the fretboard or express any other emotion...

Skynet??

[scottmorris13]

@popeye2mil SKYNET!

[angelosario]

@popeye2mil He is a creation from Google, the REAL Skynet.

[JGPorcello]

@popeye2mil I think he's an alien that's taken on human form. Maybe a cyborg.

[popeye2mil]

@JGPorcello zombie cyborg i would say...

[benartzigeva]

@popeye2mil don't be an idiot listen to the emotion its music not an acting

[popeye2mil]

@benartzigeva don't be an idiot and see that is a joke... come on man

[kiter1surf2]

@popeye2mil I think he expresses himself very clearly

[moondanzer11]

Yup.......I think I know you.

Awesome you never gave up!

[kingcherub]

Intro and outro sound Gentle Giant influenced.

[LUISTELLECHEA]

me mataste.

[SollAr56]

Mysigt Häftigt o vad jag skulle velat ha faktor!!

[jaywil123411]

I'm normally a pretty heavy rocker, but I love this!!! I can feel his emotion in his playing, and being a guitarist who has been having difficulty finding a band, I'm really impressed with the stick, and the ability to basically play guitar and bass at once. Very unique, very very very talented artist!

[OiAbA]

one explanation, he has no commisural fibers.. geeks will appreciate this

[Krazydeath66]

@OiAbA hahahahahaahahahaha :D

[OiAbA]

@Krazydeath66 YAY a fellow geek :3

[Krazydeath66]

@OiAbA LOL ;) i guess so. But your right, his co-ordination really is out of this world, it seriously is as if his brain halves are seperate :D haha

[trojan304]

this guy is my hero

[morbideddie]

so its true what they say about black people then

[choganskateboarding]

Watch this high.

[bonkersbananas2010]

@choganskateboarding done hahaha

[choganskateboarding]

@bonkersbananas2010 Its fucking awesome right?

[bonkersbananas2010]

@choganskateboarding it's mind bending!!!

[tomaselvis]

Wow!

[NobleNihilist]

what a lick!!!! this guys synapses from left-right brain must a frikin superhighway.

[az111709]

The stick playing is phenomenal, but he needs a real band backing him. The canned tracks are cheesy as hell.

[krazy5000]

he only has the funk in his head at 0:40

[wukeduo]

This motivates me to practise more an not to be content with simple accompaniments. I love whatever it is your left hand is doing on the Stick. It's magical!

[Saynotoscenesters777]

Dude...I purchased the song "Overjoyed" by your band on Itunes. I'm amazed to say the least! I just want to chill and watch a sunset listening to it man! Great work!

[wildstringdom]

You are a funkin bad-ass man..Ilove your style!!!

[ccal2284]

Does this song have a name or anything? I want to buy it so I can download it and repeat it.

[Kill3rBNC]

this needs more views.

[mulotwo]

Great !!!

[Genecidedrummer]

I always thought that if i didn't play drums i'd want to play bass. If i didn't play drums id play the CHAPMAN STICK

[metalfun111]

@Genecidedrummer whats to stop you from doing all 3?

[BrittonShrum]

i feel like Andy Mckee would cover or write this haha

[rockman00blues]

@BrittonShrum Well atleast the intro was very Mckee-ish :P

[mdvo5]

i thought he worked for fedex the first second

[Owlbatross]

I'm researching to determine how to order my Chapman stick and really like what you're doing here. Nice groove bassline. I'd like to get a thicker bass tone, but that's probably unlikely due to the lack of thickness of the strings. I'd also like to separate the global effects from the bass registers, but don't see how that's possible either. I'd want to go fretless for the bass. I love the guitar sounds with effects you get out of the Chapman stick. Great instrument to practice and experiment.

[gesseroure]

6 people are virgin -.-"

I'm amazed with this technique, really really beautiful

[sbmeiniv]

i have this song on repeat.. FOR DAYS

[Krazydeath66]

ive heard many other play this intsrument well. but you are by the far better than anyone else around. brilliant

[LessthanJake14]

Absolutely brilliant.

You, sir, are an innovator.

[sk8after8]

Amazing tune, amazing instrument, amazing musician! Does it take a lot of practice to master the hammer-on tecnique?

[openthedoar]

6 people don't know what music OR talent is. PHENOMINAL job!!!! you are amazing!!!!

[atmhso]

That's the most musical thing I've seen someone do on a Chapman stick. I'd thought they were instruments for rich, curious people, but you're a true musician.

[theparisbassist]

o.O

That dude is a freakin' GENIUS !!!

[krfkeith]

My name is Kevin Keith as well....who is the real one?

[Ishimira1]

Kevin i really hope you get this! Your music is an inspiration for me to persue my dreams! I love the sound! __ Ishimira__

[JaredL19]

this guy is a god. He is amazing. can anyone give me some good jazz guitatists to listen to. I want to start learning some jazz. If you could give me some well known jazz guitarists that would be excelent

[TheMTFaces]

Thats too much funk coming from one man haha

[iLyykMuzik]

i could listen to this all day

[synyst3rgat35]

6 people fail at playing the Stick as good as him.

[jonro100]

That's amazing. I've never heard a Chapman Stick before. Now I want one.

[TomiRing]

Well played. Nice base at the beginning. And really enjoyable music till the end!

[realworldannex]

Kevin, do you ever tour on the East Coast, specifically the Southeast?

[mesa012]

great job !! 

[pembertonbrett]

Really feeling this performance. Thanks so much for posting.

[DownString]

damn ... you blew up my whole bass knowledge x)

you're a great musician  :D thx for the video!

[melkon1an]

blacks are amazing at stringed instruments

[keytarpimp]

nice

[MANFLEXMETAL]

que seco wn

[DJsqueely]

i would add some compressor and reverb on melody pickup. . . even though the talent is there, its missing the sound it is trying to portray.

[Manolos43]

Is chuck norris? No, he's just Jesus.

[qz3bmz]

A truly marvelous performance, very inspiring. You sure open up so many possibilities and good luck in your endeavors

Thanks for posting

[Slurid]

waht a badass! just look at his 'emotionless face while he lays down the bassline awesome!

[DarkThoot]

Hi Kevin,that's really nice tune and an high demostration of technique and of course a manifestation of groove and melody... Anyway, I'm surprised the skill to handle your hands,just like the piano and in fact I tried to learn some licks of Wooten played in tapping,but it is difficult to play with two hands... do u have any tips for this?

Thanks for the tune

[BeezleBoy]

The 5 dislikes are racist. I usually don't do the dislike comments, but I had to do tah tone xD

[hendrixonlsd]

Sup man. i run a home studio for bands and hiphop artists who simply cant afford to go to studios and i provide that for them. ive shown this to a bunch of musicians who come to the studio and record and they just go "whoa... rewind that! i gotta see that again!" ive seen some pretty gnarly bass guitars. alot of people have never seen anything like this.. i give it up man. keep doin' your thing.

[toxican]

That was killer.

[qqqpppjjj]

You are great! Best wishes of inspiration from Ukraine!

[nachothebassplayer]

i cant quite listening to this. the groove at :36 is the best ive ever heard in my life

[nachothebassplayer]

this is one of the most badass things ive ever saw in my life

[CoolParkourName]

P E R F E C T

[wundermuffi]

[metalfun111]

5 people accidently missed the like button

[luchoq77]

[Thatmetaldude590]

[YourGod60606]

[997decio]

thank´s Kevin for your beautiful music.

[nuaurea]

[dbt07]

That's a sick grove, great tone.

[tomorrowspast2]

Nice groove! I love your tone, are you using any effects?

[MrLuke002]

amazing

[resu19]

This guy has the groove! xD

[BeastOfCT]

thats an amazing talent man good job!

[Delroxorz]

If it's no bother, I'd like to see Avenida Atlantica up on youtube. It's such a good song.

[Rafhabass]

Peoples who play stick have a great feeling, and semtiments on play

[zomhby]

FantaStick

[MurphSct]

Boy, talk about short and sweet. I love this piece. The stick is amazing, but I especially like it when the composition shines through. There's a stick in my future, and if your hits skyrocket, it's because I'm teaching myself how to (try to) play it.

I appreciate that you shared this.

Scott

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

Hey,pretty cool.Can't you put on some more stuff?

[Imsmall]

so fucking amazing! I got hooked on the stick after seeing michael bernier and tony leving play it live and 100% looking forward to get one as soon as possible!

[neverforgive]

I'm selling my chapman stick.

Don't hesitate contact me for further details.

[TheFolksinger]

Love it!

[nonamesleftintheworl]

Wow! I really enjoyed that :-D.

[123theater1]

So umm......Anyone knows how much the price range of chapman sticks and where they can be bought. Just curious. I really love this instrument. Its like a keyboard but with strings. If you have a great musical imagination, who know what you can compose with this instrument. Also this inspires me to get better at bass.

[TheSynthguru]

Anybody wondering how great a Chapman Stick can sound in the right hands should see this video. Beautiful music, my friend :-)

[mimoocho]

dude...you da man!

[jeffharper47]

holy cow... talk about talent.. sorry vic, this guy is good

[MrColonelAngus]

That's quite a list.

[labispe]

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!

[rocknazn]

the guy's face looks funny when he plays

looks like he is saying "ugh whats that smell?"

[UniversalConstructor]

wow...just wow. Would love to see you jamming with a skilled Zen Drum player :-)

[Delroxorz]

Sounds legitimately ghetto. Like it's not even trying to. I kinda just think of the Boondocks whenever I hear this.

[MetalSweden]

fucking great sound !

[colingenereux]

Dude! That was smoooooth! You rock bro.

[18hendrix]

como se llama ese instrumento.?

[FatTomy]

este es un "chapman-stick"

[Hanz780]

GREAT PLAYING!

[SugarySnack]

That tone is absolutely fantastic. Loving the sound of the stick. One day I must have one!

[BtrayinMF]

holy shit man i heard about these chapmen sticks but never seen one played this guy is amazing!

[Ibanezr0ck3r]

absolutely amazing.

[kingsmarketing]

Hello Kevin this peice is fabulous. I would love to hear more. Do you have an album out?

[D0dson]

Speechless.  That's one tasty groove.

[jackhoefnagel]

Hey kevin, that's a LOT of soul right there! I really dig the melody line! I read your influences in the video description, but I was wondering, which artist (or what song) influenced you to composing THIS song?

[bongquisha]

thats ridiculously creative! =D

[creaper587]

this is dope!!!!

[creaper587]

46: look at that neck groove funk 4 life

[mandopiano]

I love the combination of your soulful melody lines and funk basslines. I'm trying to figure out your tuning-- are you tuned in fourths in both parts? Would definitely like to see more uploaded to youtube in the future.

[EJEtv]

Thanks for the comment and the compliments. I use the standard tuning of 5ths in the bass and 4ths in the melody. I will also be adding more videos in early 2010. Thanks for watching and stay tuned.

Kevin Keith

[Burialprism]

Hey Kevin,how you doing? man I have to tell you what ever happened to the Stick night footage from Pasadena and Webers club? Do you know where I could find it? Those tunes you performed at Webers are they coming out sometime? I have the EJE. Thanx again for the memory's brother see ya.

[rasmusxp]

I watched this and was stunned. This is really beautiful. Do you have an album out? I'd love to hear some more soul oriented stuff from you.

[MyAshraff]

wow..

[wowbf2simon]

can you buy a chapman stick in sweden?

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

Sure you can. All you have to do is call Stick Enterprises.

[FreakyNintendo]

Om man vill köpa en Chapman Stick får man tyvärr räkna med en väntetid på tre till sex månader. Verkstaden ligger i anslutning till Emmett Chapmans hus i Woodland Hills i norra Los Angeles och instrumenten byggs i produktionsserier av varierande storlek.

Är du sugen på att börja spela?

[wowbf2simon]

ja :) skulle vara kul att ha en :D men va kostar det om man vill ha en 10 strängad? den billigaste asså?

[FreakyNintendo]

jag tror den billigaste 10-stäng ligger på $1900 i Svenska kronor är det ungefär men ska du investera i en stick tycker jag du ska fundera på intresset först så du är säker på att du inte kastar bort pengarna, för det blir ju lite pengar med frakten också.

[wowbf2simon]

ok tack för all hjälp :)

[FreakyNintendo]

:D Lugnt de, märkte att jag skrev lite konstigt i förra kommentaren xd skulle räkna om dollar till SEK men jag kom av mig och skrev fel istället xP

[Royvex]

Like how he moves his head like some serious motherfucker.

[spencerska]

aahaha, exactly wut i was thinking, love the comment

[heyawhaw]

exactly my thought as well right now!

I want one of those freaking boards NOW! : )

I wonder how hard it is to transition form a tapping guitarist to a stickman?
