[extrememonaXXX]

[franz82able]

18 people are mutilated

[sexlexic69]

if i could like this 100 times i would!!!

[sebbolaat]

[Astorod17]

After watch this....im completely sure that it's no easy

[duannbunarwan]

the title should be " It's Not Possible"

[whoditit]

the title is an understatement, but still couldn't be more appropriate

[j0nah33]

The intro seems like Stairway To Heaven Andy McKee's version. Check it!

[666aldohaa666]

I DO want tabs or sheet music if possible, I want to give it a try =D

[Tilluwen]

Hey man you write awesome music! Keep up the good work!

[mikeson94]

[Dinonaughts]

[MultiSteini]

[CoreyBateMe69]

Fuck! Ur pro dude

[gisoid]

Great Job! damn you can play! i gotta work on my finger picking now so i can one day learn this awesome tune! :D

[oialecrim]

SEARCH FOR YAMANDU COSTA ..brazilian musician...That's the guy

[lmlmusicfan]

So you drink coffee and play like that i cant imagine how would you play if you drank RedBull O.O

[Avalanche1368]

Just put my acoustic back in it's case where it belongs...

[Commodore4life]

A guitar is simply a visual aid for picking up chicks. Stop making art with it, goddammit.

[InatorCorp]

I'm going to destroy my guitar now.

[kamil19201]

maaan You're amazing.... I wish I played as you do.... something like 2 years ago you inspired me to start playing guitar.... thanks for that : )

[nierobek]

[lifeliver777]

[GeminiRayne]

Please share this with the world! everyone needs to witness your rare and incredible talent. thanks for making me believe in humans again! Gemini from London x

[DRockdriguez23]

Man... this is absolutely awesome!!!

Cheers from Chile! :D

[guitcrzy]

18 people thought it was easy.

[setalaka]

it's definitely not easy

[Jackplaysguitar]

I feel like I have bananas for fingers. Fabulous playing Joe !!!

[lolo8313]

what's happen with australian players??

[kmorsch2002]

Ewan Dobson + Tommy Gauthier + BLUES/JAZZ!!! The root note is played so fast and the melody is clear and concise. Beautiful guitar music.

[AnnaK40]

I wanna see a duel with Tommy Emmanuel!! So cool!

[whynotITBD]

I met him in Nashville- even crazier seeing Jim play live

[theprofessorebs]

@whynotITBD his name is joe, not jim

[WI14Power]

it's not easy, it's impossible

[jurellero]

This reminds me a lot the banjo style of picking and composing

[redwinters]

i need tabs! anyone?

[beckrix]

...incredible...

[randomaccount39]

please marry me

[JustusFriedolin]

ah when you watch alot of guitar players you think... hm he makes it look easy... not so for joe :D

[losttreasurehunt]

great skills,keep up the good work

[rokkerdude8]

Alright thats it. im just gonna burn my guitar and take up knitting.....

[proskaterwannabe]

he is very similar to tommy emmanuel

[Ashgrove17]

@proskaterwannabe He mentions in interviews that Tommy and Phil Emmanuel are his greatest influences.

[billydalesturrock]

Great playing! Outstanding skills

[EHIDUARA]

How old are u ?

[mytagisWVU69lolz]

all the haters be lightin my joint

[McCloud1402]

who on earth can dislike him??? he is amazing!!

[xwindscythe96x]

I just wanna pummel everyone who disliked!

[abhineet123451]

joe don't you lie, you definitely mixed something with the coffee that's why it's not easy

[abhineet123451]

if coffee plays a role of a drug, than i want to have coffee all day, m sure joe mixed a pill with the coffee, to come with a dope like this

[BusterDukain]

Oh, and then there was this one time at band camp............

[shayabbabygirl]

Daddy Longlicks ey?

[Guitarman504]

Some Mad Scientist in Australia got a hold of some of Tommy Emmanuel's DNA and tried to clone him. He got the looks chromosome mixed up ,but he definitely got the guitar chromosome right.

[drnknmnky69]

It looks like he's racing himself.

[GuitarBlues3]

It reminds me of "The Welsh Tornado!"

[TheLibraryofBooks]

he's not Newton Faulkner but he's still bloody good ;)

[Hurrfurr]

Holy......

Totally awesome played, man.

[abuzani1]

did you now guitar?

[bluegang3]

[szileleonora]

WOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!! :D:D

[JBMusicist]

Yu are crazy :)

[Damiaskill]

[Citizen51b]

There are 17 haters out there smh... This kid is AMAZING!

[Yazzflutesolotake1]

God damn you play a mean banjo.

[ThePaulSack]

hey this is amazing!!!!!!1

[pa55enger]

Man, fuck that. Seven seconds into this fucking vid, I paused took a deep breath and gave up playing. Was like, "wait, what, what ,wait, what, waaaait! i can't fucking SEE at such speed."

[TheNerd90]

no one woill believe me but i met joe in person before australia's got talent we went to the same school

[FollowersofDamu]

Thank you for making me hate myself

[kristofor12345]

You have inspired me.

[Zolier]

I know that noone is reading these comments, so finally I can honestly tell that I just shit myself

[whiplashfr]

Hey Joe (got to love that song lol) do you have a recording of your own songs where its just you playing straight acoustic stuff and no band? if so where could I find it.

[rokkerdude8]

i think my head just fell off.......

[DUGGER1947]

@rokkerdude8 I've still got my head but I'm missing my socks!

[spinninfred]

you're awesome



[guitarpolygamist]

This is so "Jerry Reed"! I love it.

[mollysiu]

[molecilla]

[molecilla]

[23kyan3]

@molecilla maricon, usando tabs, en vez de sacarlo a oido como los verdaderos musicos ¬¬

[guitar1977man]

Must've been eight 'o clock coffee.

[Gh0stPreacher]

You + Tommy Emmanuel would be mind blowing.

[magiman407164]

[XxXsoytupadrexXx]

O.o o.O

[Romancandle5929]

You sir are an ASSSSHOOOOLE

[1337DiscGolf]

so from what I hear you're a self taught player, ive been trying to teach myself for months, i still suck. Where did you learn to play like this!?!?!?!?!?!? are you really just that good of a student or did you have some amazing sources to learn from?

[oneandonlyful]

Cant wait to hear you at the MN state fair!

[chekopyper]

it's funny that in the Lee Ritenour's CD 6 string Theory this song in named Daddy Longlicks :) HUGE mistake, but i know i know who cares ! but it's just something stange and funny that they make that big error :) cheers

[Carloturo123]

hey I have 4 words for you: YOU ARE FUCKING AWESOME

[TheMuttisPudding]

was nen hübschi

[kinhorockmetalful]

muito bom vídeo...só achei ruim as tomadas das câmeras...está mudando muito o ângulo dificultando a visibilidade do que eles realmente está fazendo!!!

[20GdimaG20]

if you disliked this video, you must be MUSICALLY RETARDED.

By The way man, you are AMAZING!

[sailxonxmusic]

Took me 5 seconds to subscribe and become a fan. :) You're A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

[borisgozur]

It's Not Easy O.o

[TheSoloMan123456789]

Hi joe! you are awesome!! you are my inspiration! are you comming to sweden sometime !! you are gone be big! like tommy !

[miamiuke]

Some are born with it, some are not, this is a perfect example! Joe keep on rockin. I would reccomend you progress into other styles. Pick up a flamenco guitar one day, do some damage in that arena. Check out guitar genius Al DiMeola. If you want to succeed in the music business you have to understand the marketing aspect of music to, you have the biggest piece of the puzzle: talent, but you have to pick up the other pieces in your way to stardom.

[fulufuluful]

you make trace bundy and sungha jung look like amateurs. this is music with expression joy and love. go hard bro you the man

[coolwhip2035]

i wonder what his guitar teacher is thinking now

[DELBRM]

you are the only one,after tommy emanuel

[kedarkamath]

AWESOME

[LaLoChIdOtE]

you are de next iggypres!!

[ThePeaceKeeper1]

this song = Flamenco + Bossa nova + Classical + a smidgen of Jazz + and a whole lot of heart!

[SilverAbsol777]

Name of this song is an understatement

[DeStijlify]

Your playing is an inspiration. You have me sitting here for hours trying to get Daddy Longlicks down! Haha. Thank you!

[Novak455]

i could do better... oh wait no i cant. Holy shit nice job. I hope your making mad money for this

[himynamesnick1]

Dude that is sick and fast how long did it take you to get that good cause i think i'd like to start playing like that and expand my musical background

[lorenzoanzaldua2]

wow, this is sick dude. Figuring this out and playing it took the better part of three weeks. thanks for the challenge!

Btw, you remind me of a younger Chet Atkins

[bbunters]

Wow, how awesome was that! Can't wait to see what you play after a double espresso :)

[MultiStevieH]

damn right its not easy :L

[neonaction]

save some girls for us joe

[robbourassaguitarist]

Excellent Joe.

[ianstuka]

You really got a gift! Just enjoy it :)

[TheMummy516]

When I have coffee, I take a huge shit. When you have a coffee, you create a masterpiece.

[Davepinto1000]

That was Friggin Awesom.....

[rat33pig]

Awesome tune Joe.lol To much coffee huh.

[BuckHunter1579]

Is anyone else just blown away that Jason Becker commented on this video?

[Canaanabolaanan]

@BuckHunter1579 I shat myself. And I'm not normally incontinent. I saw an episode of the Daily Show last night where Jon Stewart interviewed a man who's computerizing the brain, enabling thoughts to control a body suit. Jason might be able to walk again in 5 years. How I wish he could still play...

But this video is incredible too. Wonderful discovery today.

[guitarcomet5]

Steve Howe is looking over his shoulder! You're so good it makes me sick. Please make a living at playing guitar so I can say the world is a fair place.

[NoizyInSeattle]

My Favorite Acoustic Guitarist is Leo Kottke.

This reminds me a lot of Kottke.

Your composition is beautiful and dense and also playful. Your facility is wonderful and I love the sense of fun you convey with your performance.

[Shredsomemore]

Fuck no it's not easy.

[s3x0fd34Th]

DAMN RIGHT ITS NOT EASY! WHO WOULD BE ABLE TO PLAY THAT????

[Drenius]

I'd love to see Tommy playing that one. haha

[ryanmckenzie79]

Wow. Friggen AMAZING! 11 dislikes? What's the world coming to?

[OffWIthTheRain]

wow.

[billbocate]

ok adios cruel world, i'll jump by the window

[wilsonss22]

que animal.. :D

[MrMojoMagnet]

Hi Joe! I was honored to see you playing at Malmitalo Finland I think two years ago! Tested your Maton than, it was amazing!

Cheers

Vesa

[fretboardmaster1]

Joe is this your reply to Tommy's song "Keep It Simple"

[mrlucabiundo]

He is Really one of the best !!!

[HolyGK]

Is it you which played on lee ritenour's album 6 string theory ?

[hansley270]

@HolyGK Yes it's that tune..

[SaitenWolf]

lol - I couldn't even play that after a whole bathtub full of coffee :-)

Man, you've got talent - just amazing. Cheers, Wolf

[rudicci]

11 people tried and failed to play this...(like everybody else). :P

[wangsta25]

dude... this should get wayyy more credit than shredding... i mean it's hard to play and all but how u got the FLOW and ENERGY of this song is CRAZY!!!

[MrPinkZeppelin]

this is him on caffeine. Imagine cocaine :P

[gibsonsg1423]

wow alot faster than the studio version haha. you are a total legend. i LOVE the way you play

[KyrenDavidRoss]

dude your a god

[Drenius]

In level of technique this is almost above Tommy's Level. No Kidding, Joe kills in fingerstyle

[TheMicetro]

Hey Joe, this is on the 6 String Theory Album as Daddy Longlicks, but you have another song on youtube called by that name. Did they screw up or did you change the name of the songs?

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

@TheMicetro I was just about to ask the same question :)

[KNALLtrauma89]

Feels like watching Steve Howe.

I like it.

[1991Martin]

This is awansome hardcore picking :D

[tedah001]

hi everybody, were can I find any good tab or lesson or slowed dsown veerion so I can start learning this song? =D

[spike4379]

good good, would be nice for a slow song instead of on speed though :P

[mvo5720]

OMG, wow, all the money in the world couldn't buy talent like this. I think I'll try a coffee instead of tea, next time I pick my guitar up.

[hellraiser7974]

is it real jason becker who comments your vid?

[tobiasmo]

Awesome!!!

Btw, I first heard this on "Lee Ritenour" 6 String Theory listed as Daddy Longlicks...

[johnnysgretsch]

good picker but no soul, give this guy another 10 years to develop a good tone.

[MasterLethality]

hey you are great! wish i could play like you someday.. :( :D this song sounds like something from game MAFIA if you know that :)

[Electricwhisperify]

Joe

You are an Absolute God

i hope to play with you one day

i am only 13 but still love to play the similar music to you.

i am going to you concert at the power house tomorrow night and i am over the moon!

[bidaobidao]

it shurely can't be easy to play like that! keep it coming man!

[smith77777777]

That's it! I'm going back to decaf.

[weemalky]

Nicely done. Assuming you haven't heard this stuff already (and I apologise now if you have) check out John Renbourn ("The Hermit", "Old Mac Bladgitt"), Bert Jansch ("Hole In the Coal", "Chambertin") and Stefan Grossman ("Tightrope"). I'm just picking tunes off the top of my head, anything by these guys is always good.

[MusicisADDICTIVErcb]

I love your music...you have quite a talent not just as a player but as a songwriter as well! Quick question: What gauge strings do you prefer to use when you play?

[fckinlovebeans]

yoo joe, can i get this sick? i've been playing for years but only just started practicing like properlly because im a nobhead and thought i was dead good but i was shit, im practicing now 8 hours a day or do you think i needed to start at like 3 and now im stuck to posting shit youtube covers?

[kambing2410]

Holyshit

[necotene]

Wow, just amazing. Can't wait to see you and Kaki King in Northern Va this coming March.

[mortisnoctu]

Daaaammn son, this kid can RIP. Props from Berklee

[xelad1]

I think you should change the title of this song to "It's Impossible (to play... this song)"

[youenjoy00myself]

dude i could listen to you play guitar all day. you freakin rock, and you can write incredible songs. keep it up

[HiImJerry8]

that tune definitely not easy! xD

[Serpent1991]

arent you coming to switzerland or did i miss that allready?

[operatorius]

keep on rocking, joe!

[bliblabla]

dude you are fucking amazing!!!, you had a concert in Bratislava yesterday, I was there and I´m so impressed!.:) You have to come in Slovakia again..

[SanjaZg]

It was great in Zagreb, have to admit I didn't hear for Joe before, but if he comes back to Croatia, I'll definitely be on his concert again :)

[regysk8islife]

[symelian]
