Hunter Van Larkins - Egyptian Sun

[ma2jh]

i want to buy a camel. subliminal messaging....

[HELacey]

By far my favorite candyrat artists, amazing talent

[nevermind49]

The low end on this recording is phenomenal @1:00

[mohannad636]

why they stooped doing videos

[jmaltube]

@mohannad636 Other recording studios put a lot pf pressure on Candyrat because these two were showing what music actually is. And people were opening their ears.

[floydfloydson]

Sun will rise over every country each day and drove the dictators away - darkness will end coz there is so much love to spend...:D

[StreYdon]

i really paused my porn for this masterpiece.

[getupnbomb]

13 people are dumb.

[Archnouff]

@getupnbomb -_- I'm tired of that... Who do you think you are?

[iVanHalen666]

These two blokes play their guitars too good. I think I'm listening to one instrument at times, to a piano mostly, the mother of all instruments, an orchestra.

[ElizabethExcellence]

This was absolutely amazing, my mind had been officially blown. o.o

[repcanavil]

/watch?v=2mUmW4poiX8

[lilmark816]

@repcanavil Dont bother with this guys its a horrible cover anyways much better out there and doesnt deserve another view

[ugotpwndmon]

Why buy expensive ear peices when u have effecient ones already?

[xr3n3g4d3x]

Just curious what is he listening to in his headphones while playing?

[MySnowfox]

@xr3n3g4d3x To adjust his tempo to be just right. Notice, in fact there are 3 guitars that make this song work, so he has to make sure he doesn't screw up the 3rd one.

[BryanRason]

@xr3n3g4d3x they are listening to the mix of their guitars and maybe a metronome...:D

[PAVCAR21]

awesome 

[blacksunprison13]

That WAS PHENOMENAL!!! Holy crap.

[blacksunprison13]

Holy crap... Right when it started I was awed... Seriously wasn't expecting it to be THAT good. I mean, I knew it was going to be awesome, but that wasn't phenomenal...

[MySnowfox]

They are the real mice from candyrat

[sexyassscorpio87]

I would love to play this song on guitar hero!

[00breakingboundaries]

perfection of acoustic guitars

[AdeptTechnicus]

You guys are awesome!

[crisDAwog]

these guys are really unique candy rat artists

[Ensomulvv]

13 people just watched too many Andy McKee and Don Ross videos before hearing these guys..

[KPpivot]

how many people hit the wrong botton these days?

[jmaltube]

The ending chord is blasting.

[jkshoujk]

The beginning chord reminds me of Don Ross' "With You in Mind" :)

[jmaltube]

@jkshoujk

lol yes definitively!. BTW "With you in mind" played along with Andy Mckee is something out of this world, i listened to it infinite times.

Peace.

[iVanHalen666]

Arranging these tunes together with an orchestra would be ridiculous!

[Larilu123]

I dunno why, but I want to go on vacation... immediately !!

[YahwehNow3168]

this brought a tear to my eyes, really beautiful melodies ;-D

[Mathidal]

Two weeks after uploading this video... Egyptians began protesting against their leader. Moebarak cut down the internet, preventing further escalation, but he failed.

It is obvious...Hunter Van Larkins for president!! :-)

[VvVGuitar]

is it just me or is the left guitar tuned to B standard? o.o

[frazelle1]

whats wrong with drop tuning

[legendbass66]

someone know some traditionnal music thats sound like that ???? i would like to know

[1bagger35]

@legendbass66 not Western traditional music... I think they beautifully merge the gorgeous sounds of the traditional western instruments with some musical ideas that are found in the middle east.

[AranBrowning]

This is a beautiful composition, love some of the harmonies. Especially the bit just after 2 mins. Check out my compositions on my channel!

[joshlespaul11]

amazing!

[davidiancu]

i love candyrat, thumb up if you agree!

[sykhophaunt7]

ahh.. what a mesmerising song !! .. wait ... HOLY SHIT ... IM IN EGYPT NOW.... HOW THE HELL DiD THAT HAPPEN ?!?!?!?

[PhreeInChrist]

LOL@ dj...bravo guys making something so freaking impossible seem to effortless!

[krassip61]

Awesome performance.

[EvanGri]

first note says it all in itself so sick

[samiam554]

:03 i just shat myself

[freesalute]

this is bloody good

[JesseGuitar07]

awesome!

[207Emily]

really dont understand the comment below from DO g63 rt...please explain yourself whoever you are..(the one about digital thumbs up) why would you wanna spite me matey...i dont even know ya.....ffs

[TheDeexster]

Very nice, gentlemen. Thanks for posting.

[hobomick]

This should have been the 2nd track released

[dkiller94]

super awesome

[voxvoxvox1234]

i just realized you guys are "the express"

[guitaristguy84]

why do guitarist (not these guys) think that using your pinky (4th) finger should be a trait to be in awe of? its actually easier ppl. give it a try geez. no disrespect tho, just sayin.

[MrIbanezExclusive]

@guitaristguy84 Because they dont have the patience to build up the muscles in their least used finger

[hypr0040]

@guitaristguy84 It is documented fact that utilizing the pinky takes more practice than any other finger. I'm not praising this piece (because it is very basic, cluttered and boring) I'm just debunking your idiotic comment.

[afbdreds]

did they use the little finger to play?

[207Emily]

very nice....

[D0g63rt]

@207Emily

Digital thumbs on the internet are meaningless. They don't (or shouldn't) affect your enjoyment or dislike of whatever material you just witnessed so why fuss about them? I enjoyed this video but I'll thumb it down just to spite you and anyone else who seems overly concerned about such nonsense.

[HempFriend]

@D0g63rt You get a Thumsup for this!

[AdeptAlbatross]

Have 7 people really disliked this? - hahahaha - It was awesome.

[forcefollow]

Nice work!!!!! I really enjoyed that!!!!!

[mensamoo]

No. guy on right looks pompous. Guy on left is brilliant. Mismatch as far as Candyrat goes. The stakes have been set too high.... satisfactory is not good enough.

[MrIbanezExclusive]

@mensamoo He has pride and is pompous for a damn good reason

[BennySensus]

If call of duty black ops was an instrument...

[snakeweirdo]

Technical skill doesn't compensate for music, keep it in mind.. This is too boring.

[ChrisWooleyAC]

2011 will bring guitars that can play themselves.

[And3rsonCounciL]

Acoustics sound so good. Too many musicians are relying on effects to make their music sound good. I'm thinking the next song I write will as acoustic as I can make it!

[Larilu123]

wow, that was beautiful :)

[zliderr]

EGYPTIan SUN for life

[rampantandroid]

Wait, so you buy nice expensive mics for recording...and then use ipod/iphone earbuds as monitors? The hell.....

[babbersabber]

@rampantandroid haha I asked me the same question.

[heypepper]

@rampantandroid Some of the Ipod ear buds are actually pretty good. I wouldn't down them. If I had to choose on what to spend money on for equipment it certainly would be mics first.

[rampantandroid]

@heypepper Demo a pair of SE110s...or even SE530s. Or UM3Xs. The ipod buds are terrible once you listen to things that are better. Again, I'm not saying they need amazing monitors. I'm saying it's silly to use monitors with absolutely no isolation on them.

[seqoo]

@rampantandroid its in-ear 'SHURE' studio headphones for recording. Studio monitors exact term.

[rampantandroid]

@seqoo No, they aren't. I own the SE530s, and I know Shure's line reasonably well enough; Their monitors usually go over the ear to remove the noise from the cable and they go IN the ear - they isolate. This sit in the cup of the ear from what I can see.

[Tooshnaba]

@rampantandroid They can use ipod headphones because they don't sell that audio

[HeiLong24]

@rampantandroid I think that he uses them because they have background melodies that they want to stay in sync with.

[toptreeman]

@rampantandroid dont matter bud, its just used as a guide

[rampantandroid]

@toptreeman A guide with no isolation whatsoever. Which means for it to be useful, you need to turn the volume up on the monitor. A pair of proper monitors with complys will do far better (UM3X anyone?); they isolate other noise and allow you to hear JUST what you want to hear.

[toptreeman]

@rampantandroid well you cant question what he is doing xD obv doing it for a reason, maybe he doesnt want total isolation?

[rampantandroid]

@toptreeman Why can't I question it?

[toptreeman]

@rampantandroid let me rephrase that then "why would you question what he is doing?" and of course u can, u can question anything that u want, ur questioning why he is wearing small earphones, unfortunatly unless u kno him i doupt you will kno.

[rampantandroid]

@toptreeman Haha, fair enough :)

[hypr0040]

@rampantandroid Those that thumbed this comment up are just as stupid as the guy that wrote it.

[stonedjay]

@rampantandroid theses artists do not need monitors... why bother with it? damn...

[lommstein]

@stonedjay because there professionals.. they want to make every song perfect

[Mathidal]

@rampantandroid Their budget was up. ;-)

[bohmaniac]

@rampantandroid could be metronomes as well

[xbornstubbornx]

@rampantandroid That's the budget you're left with after you buy expensive microphone, if you're grass roots artist on a tiny label.

[metamorfotiko]

@rampantandroid No Apple, no earbuds... Using professional KOSS phones, so I can hear the music as it should be listen...

[rampantandroid]

@metamorfotiko Huh? I'm talking about in the video. And from the looks of it, you're neither Ross Hunter or Owen Van-Larkins. And last I looked, Westone, Shure, Etymotic and the like were preferred to Koss. Find a pair of cans or IEMs that aren't "colored."

[odin2free]

@rampantandroid

i would guess because they need to be able to make sure that its recording through the mic and also so they can just hear with not through the mic but from the acoustic room there sitting in.....

[LoafofCat]

@rampantandroid they're actually just listening to their iPods. When you're this good, you can play the entire thing by muscle memory alone.

[rampantandroid]

@LoafofCat If I could vote this the answer to my post, I would. Love this song, finally bought the album!

[RobinStrower]

Can be anything better than that.

Faved

Robin :o)

[MrIbanezExclusive]

First Candyrat song i have heard where at least one guitar is in standard

[Outie1179]

@MrIbanezExclusive :D Listen to Antoine dufour's No Name For Love. It's in standard tuning :)

[MrIbanezExclusive]

@Outie1179 oh dude no way. Thank you for saying something!

[GarretsShadow]

@MrIbanezExclusive Antoine Dufour- No Name for Love, Andy Mckee- Heathers Song, Ebon Coast, Tite Trite Nite

[K1LL14N]

@MrIbanezExclusive The thing that came from somewhere form Don Ross is also in standard!

[MrProportional]

@MrIbanezExclusive ebon coast by andy mckee? (aloth thats b standard as it is a baritone guitar.) Memories of the future by antoine dufour is in standard, so is no name for love by him. the thing that came from somewhere is in standard, loads of them are. so i dont know why you have so many thumbs up

[MySnowfox]

@MrIbanezExclusive Then you haven't listened to No name for love and Memories of the Future by Antoine Dufour

[rock23845]

@MrIbanezExclusive really, well there is gareth pearson he uses standard for beauty of disipline, chinese whispers

[capoman1]

These guys are only great.

[blackslick73]

I just floated off to another time......and i dont want to come back ;)

[Kaburorne]

2:22 - Chills

[mrsgmason]

you know what, I love you two

[MrMaliGoo]

awesome :]

[Blu3Emperor]

awesome :D

I like it. :3

[AlyHarrizon]

beautiful

[mrjones918]

Wow that was beautiful, you've just sold another album.

[stratatack60]

BRAVO!!!!!!!

[1hungrigerHugo1]

how much time do it take to play like this ? and how many knowledge of playing guitar and harmony do you need to write this ?... I think the guy who invited the guitar never thought that someone can play it THAT good...

[MrIbanezExclusive]

how can anyone dislike this?  This is the master class of music

[fatthead360]

This is very enchanting...nice work and love this subscription!!

[sykhophaunt7]

hey rpoland plz post more hunter van larkins videos if possible i love them .. !!

[silvaraziel]

It´s so hypnotic i just can´t stop listening to this song.... WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!?!

[silvaraziel]

This song is so incredibly beautiful.. Master songwriting right here. It doesn´t get much better...

[Keruki]

Absolutely beautiful. Love it. :D

[klotesignup]

@LGTLW thanks

[Theguitarmate]

Great acoustic sond guys! compliments! :D

[TheumizProductions]

this is pure art

[fritskezowittenie]

This one is going directly into my favourite videos! :)

[fritskezowittenie]

Damn, you're really sick! And I mean it in a good way off course! :)

[karen0444]

i find it a bit like baroque music xd

[amongbeyo]

this was nice

[EduDeAguiarTV]

awesome!

[DharmaLogos]

Can anyone tell if they are plugged in? I think the sound is all from the mics.

[Pantamusicofago]

@DharmaLogos I think so...it seems that there's no jack outputs..

[DharmaLogos]

The guitarist in the blue shirt has a very unorthodox tone. I don't know how he sounds that way, but I like it. Nice tune. Good twin guitar arrangement.

[nadkun]

Great job guys! I'll be waiting for the next video :D

[JahKewn]

They switched guitars

[pianonextdoor]

Wonderful.

[Wetter02]

I can only find one bad thing about this video, they never really look at eachother... can't really feel the joy of music by watching only.

Nevertheless, it is freaking awesome!

[AcousyJoe]

Their album is pretty good. Solid melodies all across the board. If you like expressive acoustic instrumentals, get this album.

[sharbel12]

bitchez better see me first !

[harands]

Balls to you! =D

[metamurph]

very nice recording and playing, Ripple Effect is my favorite cut on the album

[PhilWithCoffee]

Oooh, very smooth and stylish.

[Drakonische]

Noticed the earphones. Metronome?

[TruthEncourages]

@Drakonische I'm thinking that's cause they're not actually in the same place at the same time. Oh the wonders of video editing.

[Drakonische]

@TruthEncourages

then poor guy who asked what kind of mic they're using. probably virtual XD

[tinu96]

@TruthEncourages Most likely they are in the same place, but are just using the earphones as in-ear monitors.

Great song, though.

[theuntolddeath]

I can not find the words to describe this it makes you want to cry!!!!!amazizing job guys!!!!

[xcorematt]

oh hey i have an idea let's go ahead and finger bang these guitars for a while and then use the video to finger bang people's minds!

all in the name of music of course :)

[SJ9495]

sounds more of a spanish guitar kinda song to me. nonetheless, great composition!

[DJTripleThreat78]

I...HAVE...A...GUITAR...BONER.­..RIGHT...NOW!!!

[SJ9495]

@DJTripleThreat78 you forgot the ear-gasm!

[JonJoProductions]

Woah...O.o

As always, this channel continues to rape talent in the ass.

Everyone here has like some sort of super amazing talent.

I mean, I think to myself that some of these songs aren't even humanly possible to play.

[LinkBulletBill]

put grease on those guitar strings...

stop the sliding sounds... xD

[Blazerdsx]

craaazy. this vid was posted a few minutes after I bought their album.....which I SERIOUSLY recommend.  I just can't hate any of their songs even a little. its physically, mentally, and emotionally impossible to do so

[leftfieldgrab]

love that first chord!

[DJTripleThreat78]

@leftfieldgrab .. and the last!

[blackpoopshadowfear]

very misterious! Makes the hair raise on the back of my neck! sounds great!

[Dannzio]

Oh honey can you pass the awesomesauce?

What did you say sugarbun? I could not hear you over the ammount of awesome coming from those two guitarists.

[verodefacto]

Amazing

[moegameel]

I am Egyptian & I totally loooove this piece of music....You could feel my country's sun sighing through the notes!

[klotesignup]

what 's the ring around their thumb?

[ShawRoadProductions]

@klotesignup It's a thumb pick its basically a regular guitar pick but it has a plastic ring so you can play with a pick but not sacrifice several fingers to do so.

[klotesignup]

@ShawRoadProductions thanks

[animedrawer1233]

Ahhh they just sound so good together!!

[helmsdeep48]

what tuning is this in?

[Infamanious]

egyptian sun it is.. i can feel it.. GREAT composition

[Infamanious]

egyptian sun it is.. i can feel it.. GREAT composition

[robotfamilygchicken]

HOLY SHIT BALLS...that is all

[galegregory97comcast]

LAST HAFT OF THAT  WAS SO FINE

[ladyflitzepuff]

awesome =D

[Seanuk]

I may get shit for this [I don't care] but I found this a bit lacking. I subscribe to this channel and love the work from here, however, this piece didn't hit the sweet spot. A bit repetitive for my taste.

[DreeLulu]

Sorry ! :(
