[Cyberbob182]

Subscribed without any hesitation.

[garyTHEGYPSY]

The only things i dislike about your videos is my lack of guitar skill compared with yours. lol

[Shaidyn]

I beg you. Please do a collaboration with Ewan Dobson. You're two of my favourite artists on youtube. Hearing you together would be mind blowing.

[pinchosalcarbon]

genius.

[neilmacmusic]

wow where do you come from? how does your mind get around so many notes on so many fretboards in so many directions? your music is incredible thank you

[sprugian]

@neilmacmusic hi thanks!

I'm from Switzerland

[neilmacmusic]

@sprugian

Hi yes i really meant what planet? no one i know can play like you!

[268879ac]

@sprugian

Superbe. Thanks for this. I am living in Geneva. Do you play live sometimes? Any concerts around? Thanks and bon courage.

[Eeeveeee]

Thank you for giving inspiration and calm to someone who needed it!

[sprugian]

@Eeeveeee thank you!!

[wadams31]

Awesome man... Just awesome... you have to have two brains... OMG!

[i1killed2god3]

Is that... Bam Margera?

[michaelszczerbiec]

Wow! It's fantastic!

You have awesome sound and space in music.

[Wololo21]

esto es hermoso!

[Stevenjdupuis]

i assume that you play the piano well too...?

[i1killed2god3]

@Stevenjdupuis Why would you make assumptions?

[Winklez0rz]

Awesome! Press 1 & 4 over and over to hear a hidden experimental ambient track :P

[ughowarui]

This is so amazing to watch! It seems that each of this guy's hands has a brain of its own. It sounds great!!!

[giuliothehuere]

Finalmente sentita live oggi a Cavigliano. Questo pezzo è stupendo.

[1337gn]

nice , looks expensive that guitar

[Gerdellos]

This is truly brilliant...

[DjeyMusic]

Amazing! I love your work! Let's continue ;-)

[funnyuday]

you've got magic on yur finger

[musicallysmitten]

you have a beautiful variant of the simple chapman stick having added the bass extra six string. your composition has a lovely celtic flair, you perform beautifully, making it appear so simple, which it isn't. Bravo for your skill and practice, and competence. Namaste

[baldol]

you are very talented, i love the different videos that shows all you musician's skills. I wish i could put my hands on a chapman stick (hard to find here with out big $) thx for sharing! Aldo-stm

[paulmcelroy1969]

This is amazing. What's going on in the heads of the two people who disliked this?

[Aurynprog]

i think this is my favourite song ffrom all the ones you have done!

[LikkleKittehKat17]

This is beautiful, makes a nice tune :) good talent ...

[MrMusicM67]

sick bro!

[mandopiano]

Gorgeous playing! It would be great as a movie soundtrack. It's somewhat reminiscent of those harp guitars where the low strings serve a droning purpose. Keep up the great work!!!

[sprugian]

@mandopiano Thank you!! yes that was my idea ( sort of harp guitar...)

[artsygala]

Thank you for sharing your amazing talent. Your music is a pleasure to listen to.

[sprugian]

@artsygala thanks very much!!

[guitarriverlution]

It is enough to hear only the song "little starry music"

[guitarriverlution]

You know it is normal to play some harmonics as ornamentation,but i'm using as a harmony ... That's why is so important for mé to chose suitable guitar for that! It seems crazy,but tell mé!

[guitarriverlution]

What's happened with your warr guitar,i cant find any video! If you want to sell it, i am ready to buy This warr guitar!

[micwellssongs]

Gawd you are amazing.. I hope you are making lots of money doing thisss.  this is beautiful music .. was that the same theme in there for the cat? Wow could i hire you to follow me around like a minstrel wherever i go?

[qaywsxedc147258369]

great !!!!!!!!!

[ALanSaidTrujillo]

it is really nice but i dont like the way you customized your sticks into that guitar frame, and play them at the same time, i guess its just to show of, but you dont really need it, sweet piece, thankyou.

[sprugian]

@ALanSaidTrujillo i don't "customize" my sticks...

anyways there is only 1 "stick" involved...and it's absolutey not

to "show of" it was just a little experiment,i like to do experiments!

and also liked to play them at the same time!

Some people like it some not,who cares.....i don't....

I had fun doiing it... cheers!

Jan

[CheshireCatFun]

@sprugian I just never get people who cast themselves as a purest over a plank of wood with strings and magnets bolted to it. Same thing with "vintage" electric guitars, such as teles. As soon as Leo bolted a neck onto a body, all "vintage" aspects went out the window. Electric instruments are, by their very nature, experimental. (I should know . . . I build them.)

To that, I say hats off to your experimentation and virtuosity.

[senn416]

Still blows my mind....!

[JoeSatraniFan]

I was just coming to youtube during the whole Andy Mckee blow up...I love his music...but I can't believe I didn't find this stuff before now. Please keep us informed as to a CD release date. This is truly some of the coolest guitar playing I've ever seen, keep it up man.

[000metalhead000]

Sooo... You fixed a chapstick under the Yamaha silent guitar... Nifty :)

[Riftlol]

Absolutely amazing.. Do you have this song release on a cd? I need this in my collection! :D

[sprugian]

@Riftlol thanks!! no not on CD yet...i hope soon

[scotty]

Terrific

[bornonthe24thofjuly]

what a bunch of fancy instruments!

[imjustexcited]

when I grow up I wanna be just like you!

[sprugian]

@imjustexcited wow thanks!!

[TanyaKaloyirou1]

Awesome guitar plater Tanya

[sprugian]

@TanyaKaloyirou1 thank you Tanya,you are great!!

[svartsaft]

wounderfull!

[scottsuds06]

wow...amazing wasnt expecting that, you are amazing man...

[DiminishedTB]

How long did you practise before your right hand came along so well in tapping?

and what did u practise for the right hand? Scales?

[ciminif]

HO COMINCIATO LA MATTINA BENISSIM O dopo aver ascoltato, grazie!

[rockingowl55]

this is honestly one of my favorite songs. The tapping part is mindblowing. I would buy this song in a heartbeat. keep it up bro.

[akinun]

LOVE IT!! Haha, awesome man :)

[Aphex26]

FUCK!

Simply amazing!

[RuiCarinhoso]

Genious. Very beautifull.

[TonyThrash94]

senn416, watch Jan's videos where he sings. He has at least three brains 8)

[senn416]

I don't have words to describe how impressive this is. I think you must have two completely independent brains!

[TonyThrash94]

You're a wizard 8) Thumbs up!

[Falinor]

Magnificent! That is exactly the kind of music the chapman stick is made for! Great way to use two instruments, your composition is beautiful. What´s the tuning on the silent guitar?

Keep going, I wish you the very best!

[GDT1124]

amazing.

[puckdriver37]

Hey man, everything you do is fantastic! I was just wondering, do you write all of this? You are truly an inspiration for me to start with this kind of guitar. If I'm experienced with electric and acoustic regular guitar, would this be hard to pick up?

P.S., This is my fav. hairstyle in all of your vids

[jwiehoff]

Awesome! Put that up as a download somewhere and I'll buy it. Really cool...!!!

[Roekkr]

You're so awesome... Some parts remind me of folk metal stuff (Ensiferum etc)

Love it!!

[Stride278]

@Roekkr YES!! it totally does!!!! :D

[radkon67]

Jan....!

F%$^#(& Brilliant. I love the contrast in timbres with both instruments. You make me wanna play. Love & Regards from Melbourne AU. Stickrad

[xxxpyromaniac]

I think this is like my 15th time watching this video! I just close my eyes and enjoy...

[IasminaYelMar]

Pazzesco!

Arrivano le tue emozioni!

Gran bei pezzi,

ti seguo!

[bass45]

[caralhosvosfodam]

Were do you get your instruments from?

You've got some particular and strange looking "guitars"

[gibbs75]

ciao complimenti ! una domanda come ti trovi con l'alto stick?? io ho due 12 corde con lo stick up, il primo piu datato il secondo è di maggio.. ma l'idea dell'alto mi ha sempre affascinato.. è meglio l'alto o la stick guitar di recente invenzione? (quest'utima l'ho vista suonare da Greg Howard e ha un bel suono!!)

[sprugian]

@gibbs75 Ciao,grazie!

Io mi trovo benissimo con il alto,anzi è quasi il mio preferito

Non ho ancora provato la SG12 ,dunque non saprei dirti... sicuramente ha ancora più possibilità,ciao

[EBATO]

Wow. I'm amazed. How many hours a day do you play, man?

[Jatromusica]

great!

[Libano603]

SEMPLICEMENTE BELLISSIMO!!!!!

una domanda: le mute per il chapman le compri dal sito oppure usi corde per chitarra e basso?

[Brutalattila]

uei jan! mi piace tantissimo il refrain simil-celtico! ci vediamo al locale... e mai tagliare i capelli isccto ahahah!

attilio

[sprugian]

@Brutalattila

[Jazzboob]

[jacosmith86]

Yeah dude, this is really cool. This is very inspiring for the kind of stuff I would like to try in the future mixing an NS stick and my seven string Schecter.

[KyelsMusic]

Dude ,your awsome,,what kinda of reverb are you using?

[sprugian]

@KyelsMusic

JAN! You are the most profound player I have seen! I would love to get you and Rob Martino together and a few others together in California, USA for a jam. What you guys are showing the world is some wonderful stuff!! Still waiting for you to put out an album.

[AndiOVai]

Esto es increible, cuando era chico, en el canal local de mi pequeño pueblo en la Patagonia Argentina, a la noche no habia programacion, solo imagenes de paisajes de la Patagonia, con este tipo de musica.

Me llevaste de paseo por mi niñez. Increible como siempre lo tuyo Jan, eres unico.

Saludos.-

[rpmartino]

This might be my favorite video of yours now, love it!

[sprugian]

thanks man!!

[DeciBass91]

How do you wrap your head around playing the two different tunings at the same time?

Do you, like, memorize both lines separately and then play them both together, or are you always thinking about them both?

[sprugian]

Hi thanks! yes i memorize the two parts

and play them together,well i try too...

[vishalquake3]

How do you do it !! lol

It's like you take on the jobs of 3 or 4 guitarists & bassists playing together.

Outstanding arrangements !! ^_^

Peace, love & beauty just flow out of ur playing. Thank you !

[sprugian]

thanks for your comment!!

[lauriemonk]

[IPawnNoobs]

Agreed, you really are great!
