  • Zack Kim gives me shivers

  • He was so fucking good...i dont see why he'd just up and leave YouTube.

  • What's the first song called? Or did he make it himself?

  • WHERE IS ZACKKIM???

  • @kize127 according to his facebook page he has given up on youtube and will never come back on again!:'(

  • @drummerboi2k8 fuck man. I love Zack Kim. I posted on his wall about his YouTube and all he did was ";)"

  • @kize127 lol he told me it wasnt his thing anymore and people are asking him to leave the videos on but who knows.... if you like zackkim check out even brewer he plays 2 basses like zack plays 2 guitars :)

  • Did ZACKKIM get hacked? his account is closed.

  • Dear Tiesto here is awesome! great song, great performance, I'd love to hear a studio version of that.

  • @Emilyplays1 It's available here: youtube .com/ watch?v=-s74WZqef5U

  • @Mattiac1980 yeah, I've seen that one but I mean basically this version with drums and guitar except a studio recording. Thanks all the same though! :-)

  • he rules alone in this league!

  • Haha, I had to make some searches to find this video again XD

    Not my first time seeing this vid, but I'm still amazed at the Dear Tiesto perf!

    SWeeeeeeeeeeeT

  • He needs a two necked guitar for when he does live shows.

  • Comment removed

  • got pick? wait nvm he doesnt need one

  • amazing!!!! =O =D

  • LOL I read the description and my first thought was this:

    "...having Zack Kim in a BOTB is just like cheating. That's why they didn't get first."

    Why else would Zack Kim not get first in a BOTB?

  • Turn his guitar up

  • That was awesome. He is the master. God bless him and his family.

  • gawd i love "dear tiesto" <3333

  • His hands are gigantic lol

  • I thought it was a pretty good performance. Should have been at least 2nd. But I'd have to see the other groups. But Zack Kim is an excellent player.

  • lol sounds like piano alot

  • Look at his face LMAO.

  • This guy is going to be world famous soon, he still lacks some experience, but watch his other youtubes, you may be one of the ones dying to see him later

  • I didn´t know you were such a MONSTER on guitar, Liu Kang!!!!!!!!

  • holy crap this guy is like liu kang

  • ROFL... Wait, I'm Asian, why is that funny?

  • LOL

    hey hey I just want to say I´ve got nothing against asians, in fact I love Karate, I´m a 1st Dan.

    That silly joke was not intended to be racist at all, infact, Zack is an AWESOME guitarist, anyway, I think he does look like liu kang a bit ^^ in a cool way. I don´t know why so many thumbs down... come on people, it was just a joke.

    btw, that tiesto tune is cool.

  • tap tap revenge?

    *atempting to flee*

  • lol well those faces he does are somewhat retarded, but still that's because he got the passion for music, like when people fall in love, they became really stupid, but you are the one who enjoy it at the end

  • the best part is at 5:30

  • This guy is cool and everything and he does some amazing stuff, but seriously folks, all he does is tap and that's one of the easiest techniques imaginable. No one wastes this much time tapping because a guitar is not meant to be played legato the whole time.

  • Stanley Jordan disagrees.

  • agreed.

  • i completely agree 100%

  • using multiple tapping fingers isnt quite as easy. doing van halen tapping, 1 extra finger on 1 string, pretty simple yeah. but what this guy is doing isnt 'one of the easiest techniques imaginable'

  • Bottom line is, this is a guitar not a piano and it's not designed to be played legato all the time. This is just a last attempt at trying to be original.

  • Bottom line is you can do whatever the fuck you want with a guitar. If some guy wants to try and play slide guitar with his cock, he can. As long as people with half a brain are paying to see it, you shouldn't say that it shouldn't be played like that.

    Besides, there are plenty of people that play the guitar like that, its a fairly common style.

    example: /watch?v=AbndgwfG22k

    Ran out of room, continued in next comment

  • murderface????

  • continuation of last comment:

    there are plenty of things the guitar wasn't 'designed' for but people still do it. Hell, it wasn't designed electric or steel string, but that's a lot more common nowadays. Guitars were only designed to have one neck, but there are plenty of people who play with multiple necks. No one ever thought to use(i forget what its called, vocator or something?) to make the notes sound like words, but peter frampton amongst others use it.

    Stop bitching about innovation

  • Innovation? LOL. Please find out what that word means.

  • 3 comments full of proof that you're an idiot, and you come up with 1 line about semantics? I'm done with you.

  • One last style i didnt mention due to space, playing on the wood of the guitar or slapping the string. andy mckee, justin king, etc. all play like that.

  • You sir are a moron.

    Who are you to define how to play guitar?

    That is all I have to say.

  • You sound like a conservative.

    Innovative. Ring any bells?

  • you cant even hear it

  • that was in kualar lumpur...

  • 6:01 "mai cibai..!" hahahahaha!!!!

  • oh this is deff worth first place!

    i dont think anyone could be better!

  • Wow the last song sounds like it would be a awsome Grand Tarismo song...or is that just me...probly just me.

  • that face expressions is priceless

  • if they won third place i'd like to see who the fuck won first...wow

  • lol, it's funny how you ppl always find a way to say bad things about anyone. if he enjoys his music and makes such faces - you call him gay; if he was just standing there and playing calmly, you would say he has no soul/doesn't feel his music or smth like that.

  • i know!! god i hate people like that!!

  • nice totally agree.

  • esse cara come cocô

  • damn i need to know the 1st song, i wonder why the 1st song didn't win, i like it. (for me anyways) i love the melody of the 1st when it starts it feels like a fun fresh start! haha! well nevermind, i just want to know the 1st song.

  • na i rather watch him play two guitars instead. you can't be hammering few notes and going in circle,it gets bore quick.

  • lol, you don't get the music, right? this is art and art is far the most rational expression of humankind, you think you are rational? think twice

  • cant hear him

  • yeah maybe his face expressions are funny but the reason is why is because he feels the music LOL

    i think there awesome

  • @themime11 well plus hes asian

  • i wanna totally drink that water at 3:00, so watery.

  • his face expressions are too funny, but that doesnt matter all that matters is his beautiful f'in music

  • lol someone was trying to rave at the front during the last song

  • The drums are a good addition. ^^

  • who is that chick in all white at 2:31 i totally wanna bang her hot ass

  • wtf? you can even see her..lol though for the total random comment

  • to the crowd: shush already!

  • gay crowd indeed

  • wow, he's way better than me....

    Awesome....

  • absolutely love the first tune!

  • Whats The First Song He Plays Called??

  • How old is he?

  • where can i get mp3s of this stuff

  • dide he win this battle of the bands comp?

  • zack kim is one of the few guitarists left who's emotion really comes out iin his music

  • I think it's a good thing we're always trying to look at his fingers.

    Just that his face...

    isn't as amazing... =|

  • maybe is not the best guitarist of the world

    but this shy guy is so cool

    go on zack kim!

    tapping is cool anyways

    with two guitars? i wanna see you all do his stuff like him! all guitar heroes in the youtube's comments

  • he reminds me of buckethead, he has really cool sounding stuff, but its all hammer ons, its basically like playing piano. but i do have to admit that the double guitar thing is really cool

  • buckethead doesn't do too much legato. halloween theme is really the only big one. oh and jordan.

  • why would he want to do anything legato? maybe he likes fast things

  • he plays entirely legato... a little music theory would go a long way for you dude.

  • i meant JgHaverty...Zack kim is awesome

  • this guy is way overrated. Hes good but hes not a virtuoso like some people are saying

  • hes korean, not malayasian although he grew up there (citing wikipedia).

  • aha.. fair enough..

  • Why try to classify everything as good-bad-virtoso. Music is not descibable in words. Serj Tankian once said, "Describing music with words is like describing architecture with dance."

  • you try playing 2 guitar parts at once.

  • are you an idiot?

  • id normally respond back harsh to you, but after looking at your comment i decided your ignorant, childish comment isnt worth a second of my time.

  • yea thats why it prob took u twice as long to write that out instead

  • i dont remember talking to you you cunt so fuck off. was that quick enough for you?

  • which is why you responded and said that...?

    wha...?

  • wow, to guitar parts on 1 guitar... amazing

  • mmm nice but,stanley jordan ??

  • virtuoso

  • i like the 2nd song alot, how ccould zack get in 3rd? he is by far one of the best guitarists ive ever seen.

  • it s painful to forget the real master of this technic "STANLEY JORDAN"

  • needs a bass player and he needs to kick into a distorted lead every once in a while to change pace

  • Whats wrong with him enjoying himself. Hes really good. I would be happy too.

  • barely hear guitar

  • i agree

  • you must have ear problem............

  • he's performing on the Electrical Guiter like if he's performing on a piano !!!

    it's the fine technieck ...

  • its called "tapping"

  • wow i dont know what is this but sounds great

  • zack kim kicks ass and the "gay face " thing is just messed up. he is just having a good time.

  • that last comment goes to you: lynnox36

    you piece of crap.

  • Uuhmm...ham sandwich...

    Btw, could u turn down the drums a bit?

    Or put some overdrive on the guitar?

    Or make me a ham sandwich?

    Either 1 is good :)

  • i'm eating a ham sandwich

  • Giz a bit!

  • ya dude if ur just gonna criticize this guy dont bother posting. nobody wants to year you being an asshole.

  • yeah really boring sure... you could play better ha?? i think he's great, a inovative style of playing:D keep it up

  • lmfao, how pathetic are you, I bet you go around criticizing videos that you find amazing because you cant do half as well as them. GET A LIFE AND QUIT PUTTING PEOPLE DOWN BECAUSE YOU'RE WORTHLESS, SAME GOES TO YOU valeriopasqua

  • I dont need credit, not lookin for it. And being an ass to some kid is fun now? Btw, you need to have a life to tell someone to get a life, or it's like the pot callin the kettle black, loser.

  • lynnox36

    What you refer to as the "gay face" that is when the player feels the music. Nobody defends, we attack. Oh well, Im not going to insult you, just pay more respect, even though we talk virtualy, its still a public place. Pretty foolish flaming going on around here. Have a nice life. Lulz

  • True he/she gets no credit for defending Zack Kim, with the exception of maybe a few 'thumbs up' ratings on his/her comment. The only thing I want to know is what is wrong with making a so-named "gay face," what in the hell a 'gay face' is, and how a face can be gay.

    As Jung said, the offense is not in the offender but in the offended.

  • Lynnox, please. It seems to me that you seem jealous of Zack's amazing skill. For one thing it's not a "gay face", hes just into the music. And for another thing, what's wrong with being gay in the first place? Are you a homophobe? Please, pay a little respect from now on to yourself and to others.

  • you really do need to shut up. your just so jealous that you cant do anything 1/5 as good as what he can do. oh by the way, that "gay face" u say he makes, is him getting into the amaizing music he plays. dont critisize when u dont know how.

  • ok then, go ahead...

    DO ur gay face!!!

    sure u can do better than him...

  • Lynnox I think you can just shove this comment up your ass.

  • I wonder who could of beated u man... ur amazing

  • This guy is amazing. Too bad he gets alot of douche bags posting on some of his videos.

  • dang wish i was there sounds great

  • hahaha i love how at 2 33 some random lady just walks on stage and takes a pic :P

  • Fuckin drummers.

    I cannot hear the guitar.

  • i love his Dear Tiesto performance ...

  • jeck kim????

  • the last song was amazing!!!!

  • aww.. i know the camera person made a lot of unnecessary noise but without him or her uploading the video, we could never have watched Zack's awesome performance right? Hail Zack Kim.

  • wow that camara lady doesnt have an IQ.

  • lol

  • Can't really hear him playing. The drums kinda is ruining it. But I'm not saying I don't like the drums.

  • I am obsolete after seeing this. WE ALL ARE.

  • I love this song even I dont know what its called. Very gooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • OMG...I love this child...start to record cd''s u idiot!!!!

    he should like sell CD'S

    he will get famous fast O_O

  • What's the first song called?

  • fucking cool music

    minimalism is awesome

  • go zack!

  • i dont see how not being able to read music is a talent. and by the way just beacuse a person reads music doesnt mean they dont "Feel the music" go look at sergio and odair assad or jascha heifetz. writing down music is merely a system of preserving music and it should not be frowned upon just because itis a popular stereotype.

  • reading music requires ten times more dedication and skill than tabs...that's for sure.

  • In the end, it doesn't matter what kind of music you read because all of the heart and spirit is put into the actual playing of the guitar.

  • Very true. Though some ploy it as an excuse for not knowing technicalities, the heart and soul is really what makes good music, Not just knowing what would sound good together.

  • Too bad this kid wasn't born a few decades earlier; He would have KILLED at Woodstock

  • The other bands that won first and second must have been phenomnial if he won third.

  • hmm he plays guitar like a piano... so he must play a piano... like a guitar? o.O

  • Too bad this kid wasn't born a few decades earlier; He would have KILLED at Woodstock :P

  • he made it sound like playing on a keyboard! hahaha

  • on entend rien du tout ca sert a RIEN

  • battermen get a life ok it's ppl like you who give usa a bad name, alot of nice ppl in usa and you just Insulted every 1 of them hop your happy basterd. nice job zack ROCK ON!

  • And that was directed toward imbatman333's comment.

  • dear tiesto is the shiznit!!! love that song

  • What the fucks wrong with Canada? Its one of the greatest most peaceful countries in the world. YOUR ignorance tells me you are from the U.S? Well, Keep buying our OIL and LUMBER, Asshole.

  • Hey, it's not his fault he's a waste of skin. I'm sure his parents regret his birth as well. He's just jealous that everybody favors Canadians over Americans. He's not ignorant, he's American. God help the USA.
