Kaki King - Playing With Pink Noise Video - High Quality

[puppypies]

Man, this is wonderful art. Plain and simple, stoked I'm onto this artist now.

[MasterLavey]

looks like a down-syndrome-compromised girl with an out-tuned guitar. andy mckee, don ross and antoine dufour, the only ones.

[ElaAhed]

Kaki King is amazing. This song is amazing. We need more women in music!

[TheErniebear]

Very cool

[PeachesAndSkeet]

Isn't it great that the top two comments are simply insults? Anyways......

I liked it! XD What are some other artists that play like this?

[dulceere100]

Que guitarra o que cuerdas se deben usar para que suene asi????

[disconnect100]

@dulceere100 utiliza cuerdas "elixir" y la guitarra es marca "ovation" ;)

[ChronoPhoenix]

any chance of her becoming ethero yet? <3<3

[emmabugsmama]

She learned from Ani Difranco!

[mj8792420]

128 douchebags

[MasterLavey]

@mj8792420 1521 people are not understanding a single fuck of fingerstyle. she really sucks hard .-.

[excusemeporfavor]

[Funloverdude]

[art79red]

I'm in lesbians with her...

[tiskdude]

WTF????? play the fuckin guitar leave the tricks for a damn magician!

[dxdet]

@tiskdude  she is playing the guitar :]

[tiskdude]

@dxdet well I really like the song, I just say it for fun, sorry for bad english n.n

[dxdet]

@tiskdude Oooohhhh. sorry for misunderstanding dude.. and yeah.. no prob :D

[shedevil92]

I mean if the song is supposed to sound like beautiful noise she succedes in that

[shedevil92]

I like it.

[DarkTransfixion]

@MrFranciscoFidalgo Agreed... I'm definitely not trying to say shes a bad player, because this definitely takes talent...I've been playing for 12 years though, and seeing her do nothing but barre chords and single notes on an open tuned guitar hardly defines a virtuoso for me. NOT SAYING I COULD DO ANY BETTER PEOPLE! So don't start coming at me all hard...just saying...check out "AirTap!" by Erik Mongrain if you wanna see a virtuoso of this style.

[DarkTransfixion]

Cool song....as for her being a "virtuoso"...

Open tunings work wonders. That's all I gotta say.

[MrFranciscoFidalgo]

@DarkTransfixion It's not easy task to play on open tunings, But I gotta agree that for this type of "wow" it is a very helpful tuning.

[luicso46]

y sin mirar ni pa dentro. ¡Ohu que saboria!

[luicso46]

Una pelma del virtuosismo.

[billymcnasty05]

i don't get why she plays the non-tapping parts overhand...smoother transitions...or maybe she gets a better percussive sound on the wooden part if she taps up top.

[shibbie01]

I love the way she cuts her nails on her left hand comitment >full fecking stop unrealted issue

[kelian69]

... and she still doesnt know how to hold the guitar right.... women...

[Fang271513]

@kelian69 it's ignorant assholes like you that fuck up this world.

[muscheidt]

.. together with xavier rudd...

[viktorhun97]

de geci mien neve van xD

[jingeshan24]

there is nothing special about this piece... i mean she has great technique but the composition itself is kinda crappy...

[mildred7]

I love Kaki King, but in all honesty, I've never been a fan of this song. All of her other ones are great though.

[masterlucas7599]

horroroso

[MrFranciscoFidalgo]

In the most quiet parts it sounds like shit to be honest.

[Darce223]

@MrFranciscoFidalgo Hahahahahaha, good call :P

[dxdet]

@MrFranciscoFidalgo  Either you have low-quality sound system wired to your computer or you are a fan of Bieber.

[Treefingrs]

@streetsmarts990 LOL BIG MISTAKE ROFL YOU ARE TEH ONLY MORONS HERE HURR DURR

[TimeWolf26]

She's hot, she's funny, she's smart and she's better at guitar than I'll ever be. Should I kill myself now, or live in hope that she'll marry me one day?

[billymcnasty05]

@TimeWolf26 If you are a dude you probably should, with her being a lesbian and all.

[playmyyoyo]

its not that good really =/ truth be told...

[pg8765]

@playmyyoyo This is coming from someone who has a final fantasy and linkin park song favorited? .......and you think you can judge her music, because???

[zerospaceuk]

@pg8765 don't knock the music from final fantasy. some of the stuff nobuo uematsu has written is incredible.. just because it's in a computer game people dismiss it but I think he's amazing

[franknilop]

I fell like I should have shed a tear at 0:48

[jarrados]

@franknilop why..?

[andrewkadar]

whats with her mouth expressions

[sudeep2005123]

kaki means aunty in Bengali....

[singana1]

uuuuʍop ǝpısdn ɯı dʃǝɥ

[oilers1go1]

@grendalss Agreed.

[clovis2012]

I don't see how this is musical

[plutowarrioress]

Simply beautiful. Lovely style!

[ref10603]

im debating playing this or drifting for my berklee audition

[oilers1go1]

@ref10603 Let me know how you take the bad news when they turn you down.

[msawbe]

@ref10603 I'd do Drifting' it flows better. I never learned Drifting myself' but I did pick up on some of the the things going on in that song' added some lyrics to it ( I love Dylan and Joni Mitchell ) and came up with my own song. Maybe you should try doing something like that.

[dmbball15]

incredible.

...could do without the final 1:30 of black tho

[dmbball15]

incredible.

[Beloguroff21ukr]

Woow

what was that ?? O_o

)))

crazy cool playing

[nickfromdtown1992]

i used to think this was sooooo beyond me. but when i realized i can play it and tried; i have to say. this song is so much more fun to play than it is to listen to because you begin to notice her music genius first hand and now i see this song in a way i never did. she is soooo fucking amazing at guitar i cant even explain. just listening to her alone doesnt do her justice

[evilnarc]

There's only a few instances where a girl can play an acoustic guitar and not be utterly boring and generic. This is a great example of that. Also she's proof that being good at guitar makes you hotter.

[baakal01]

@evilnarc Honestly? Then you haven't been listening to the right female artists. My recommendation for you: look a little bit harder.

[Flamingboy100]

i'm speechless, she must have sold her soul to the devil surely, lol :-)

[SourRevenge]

August Rush aint got nothin on dis :D

[ref10603]

@SourRevenge she did the music for august rush lol

[SourRevenge]

@ref10603 which proves that August Rush was a lie! She's awesome though =]

[ref10603]

@SourRevenge duh! that little kid needs to stick with finding crazy shit in the woods like fairies. she did ritual song and bari improv.

[TheEstonianIdiot]

Kaki king is uglyest

[bianconiglio427]

Great talent. It's not a case if she's contributed to the soundtrack of "Into the wild" and was nominated for a Golden Globe!

[tann307]

Good but Andy Mckee is Better check it out Andy McKee - Guitar - Drifting

[Asydeshow]

go Kaki!

[nihiliz]

Not only is this girl good, but she has an incredible mind on how she rights,. and right there is what makes a true musician,. :).

[luvcoby991]

her guitar doesnt need a sound hole? Or is it not really acoustic?

[The949080]

@luvcoby991 it looks like the soundholes are in an unconventional spot. Those holes where she was tapping her guitar at looked like the sound holes

[JakalDreadz]

@luvcoby991 Those holes in the top. I know it's weird, but that's how ovation make their guitars lol. I've played them. They sound nice actually.

[Sesquiltera]

This is taking guitar to the next level and playing it like a harp!!!

[Laggalaggadingdong]

tuning please?

[sphinnix]

@Laggalaggadingdong i bet it's DADGAD

[Laggalaggadingdong]

@sphinnix Close i just looked it up its cgcgad. Thanks Though.

[sochoii]

so creative!!

[franknilop]

this makes my penis soft

[Laggalaggadingdong]

@franknilop Thats the dummest comment iv ever read.

[krelbar]

@Laggalaggadingdong You're comment would mean so much more if you knew how to spell...*nudge* *nudge*

[emptypringles95]

man that would be hard too play

[TheNaffer]

not at all a lack of talent.... It's alright.

[woodyallenmepone]

she's amazing

[fendered1958]

Girls get to have their own built in picks (nails) hate it LOL.

Genius work.

[BrighamHB]

@fendered1958 FYI most male fingerstyle guitarists grow their nails too, especially classical guitarists

[heavenisburnt]

shes still hot.

[kope2kope]

Why does the madness start at 4:20 ?

[CardPiranha]

Happy Birthday!

[InSaNeKillz]

is she something to justin king?

[Yami3500]

@InSaNeKillz Her and justing king are not related

[MisterSheePz]

playin without a single fuck in mind... she is the queen of guitar.

[koradek]

Why is she so fucking creepy

[daplayer]

@koradek Because she is HARDCORE!!!!

[411man4]

if her and buckethead had a kid their kid would single handedly shit on each guitarist in existence

[2massiah75]

@411man4 that could have ben the greatest and most true thing ive ever heard

[Asydeshow]

@411man4

Maybe her and Paul Gilbert.

[oilers1go1]

@Asydeshow A few guitar players arguably better than Paul Gilbert (though I like him):

1) Guthrie Govan

2) Allan Holdsworth

3) Shawn Lane

4) Michael Angelo Batio

5) Erik Johnson

[msawbe]

@oilers1go1 All those players you mentioned are great players' but who's better then who doesn't mean shit in the real world. There's a lot of people who would say Jack White is better' who I don't think much of at all. You've got young women who think Lil Wayne is the best and he don't even really play. I'll be busking in downtown D.C.' doing nice two handed stuff like Stanley Jordan in my solo's and people' including other guitar players could care less.

[oilers1go1]

@411man4 You're right except for a few things:

1) Buckethead isn't a great guitar player and neither is this girl.

2) The kid would make a bunch of sound that idiots who enjoy listening to artsy noise would salivate over, those who like music/technique wouldn't so much enjoy it.

3) You don't know the first thing about the best guitars players in the world, this I clued in on when you put "Buckethead"

4) slapping your de-tuned acoustic and playing the top string for 2/3 of a song... Well ya know

[judgerudge123]

@oilers1go1 lol yehh she isnt too tremendous but gotta beb fair to buckethead, he does have some good techniques, he can hybrid pick exceedingly well as well which at the speeds he play is quite difficult, he is good,all im saying =)

[411man4]

@oilers1go1 i understand everybody is intitled to there opinions but cmon. and i know all good guitarist from just about every genre. im not she is as good as malstreem, vai, paige,van halen, tagerra or anybody. im just saying that shes good. and your stupid if you say buckethead sucks. he does more than shred. the triads and natural harmonic scales that he uses are genius. listen to something like electric tears or colma or ghost host and you'll see what im talkin about.

[bemjamin]

nah, more like preston reed and andy mckee, with some don ross. they'd shit allover people.

[billymcnasty05]

@411man4 let's make this happen. then we should patent the genetic code of their offspring and make a engineer a fucking ROCK ARMY attack of the clones style.

[411man4]

@billymcnasty05 LETS DO THISxDDD

[411man4]

if her and buckethead had a kid their kid would single handedly shit on every guitarist in history

[SoupySalesNmyFly]

Think she's influenced by nirvana? I only ask this because of the chord progression at 1:54. It's pretty great. 

[samesoul]

Bitch you aint no Buckethead!!

[siobhanbligh]

she is no andy mckee, but i like it

[zabman23]

lol you gota love those faces she pulls at the camera :O :P :D o.O

[OrangeMetalOkinawa]

Amazing! You're my guitar hero!

[lgsintheparty]

oh jyea

[babylonliar]

BAH,.  giv me real!

[AlexMcginty356]

Now THAT, is pure skill and awesomnicity.

[xxSilverRainxx]

She's just amazing. Completely and totally amazing. I would give anything to be able to play like that. Anyone who thinks she lacks of talent obviously doesn't know what real music is.

[faynesstrix]

amazing!

[vBlogmiscarrage]

Everyone knows that girls fail at music...

[daplayer]

@vBlogmiscarrage And everyone who has some sort of common decency to know that any sort of discrimination will be hated aganist.

[mobydoug]

Is that apparatus on her lower lip a tool? And if so, for what? Prying up carpet tacks?

[daplayer]

WHY, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO A LESBIAN!!!

THE AMOUNT OF MEN WHO DIG THIS CHICK!

[Yimitixwi]

@daplayer  SHES A LESBIAN!?!?!!?!?!?!!?!?

[daplayer]

@Yimitixwi Yeah, you can even search it 'kaki king lesbian'

without the quotation marks

[Yimitixwi]

@daplayer :'( I just lost ssome of my will to live..

[daplayer]

@Yimitixwi Don't worry dude.

[BrunoSwavaholi]

whenever she looks at the camera, i honestly fear for my soul. great song though.

[issofunky]

it isnt' a "riff" ....it's a beat.....which most singer songwriters are sucky at....beat.

this is playing drums on the guitar....and doing it well.

she's got the "andy mckee" thing down....wonder what she'll do next.

[fraterlucifer888]

one of my favorite songs,just great,never got to see Kaki, got to see Preston Reed @ namm,I think she sd he was her mentor in a way, similar but i think shes alot more musical ,i wish I play like this

[daplayer]

If she wasn't a Lesbian, I would digger her so much!

[rizzlafizzla]

Wow... Kaki you are my hero! A huge "Fuckin' Eh" here from Canada.

[RAZoR12P]

kaki means poo in hungarian :D

[docksidebum]

@RAZoR12P king of poo ;)

[dbarca44]

@RAZoR12P kaki means poo in Hebrew too...

[capostatus64]

@RAZoR12P

Do all hungarian turds play guitar?

[amritaSG]

fucking fantastic

[tadhgkelleher]

This makes my neurons tingle:) could watch this all day.

[InAnotherRealm]

She's so fucking amazing!!!!

[Gobbles7485]

this is trash

[PunkRockWriter]

Oh play harder.

[LucianBelmau]

She is god, no doubt about it. And she can create magic with guitar. I saw her live. It was magic, pure magic. It's not just about craftmanship or technique. She is so expressive, being both slow and aggressive. One can dislike her music, but to say she is not talented, that's pure blasphemy.

[HighSpeedWeLive]

2:41

[KevinJackson108]

The part @ 4:36 is pretty nice, I agree shadowkilla.

[jorgevg123]

@KevinJackson108 -.-

[KevinJackson108]

Does she have a soul? She looks like a real bitch if you ask me. If she would show some feeling and passion in her playing I would probably love it...But her personality has ruined all that.

[badtux]

@KevinJackson108 This song was more a test of her technical skills, but there is a bit of humor here if you're looking for it. You might want to listen to songs like Neanderthal, Kaki is quite capable of less pyrotechnic more emotional songs and makes them look easy -- though I've been playing guitar for 20 years and can't do what she does in even her "easy" songs.

[Ubbbbberfish]

Some of the song sounds so pleasant, but other times it sounds out of place...partly off tone as well...

[mobman47]

I've always been curious about that guitar, what are the benefits to having the sound holes up at the top? wouldn't that reduce the volume of the instrument?

[mioluce]

@mobman47 It does reduce the volume of the volume of the instrument. But these guitars (the brand is Ovation) Are you meant to played plugged into an amp.

[cachetband]

i cant believe people say she doesnt have talent, she is awesome, maybe she is not always tasteful but she is a mature musician and obviously shows much technical ability.  

[JimLedRock]

She's so amazing and hot!

[shadowkilla92]

i like the part at 4:36

[iloveparamoreforever]

1:35 is epic :L

[kmamit13]

She is talented but Andy McKee is a lot better!!!

[buy1get6free]

@kmamit13 ben howard is where its at... "these waters" look it up.

[ReaLityBlue]

She is very talented!!!

[Muniaist]

failed copy cat......really annoying, failed in the title or context. no feeling of pink noises. btw LSD trips and higher sensual art of dissonance are over....emotion are more demanded today

[TheIonlycomment]

@Muniaist

failed copy cat......realy annoying, failed in the username or context. no feeling of muniaist. btw nobody cares what's more in demand or what is over according to you.

seriously wtf? emotion are more demanded today??

what emotion? can someone be emotionless?

really?

Did you just watch a documentary on TV that told you what was more demanded in music these days?
