Impossible Guitar solo

[seanclancyguitar]

Once again - Not all of these are sweeps some of the arpeggios are alternate picking - and there are better copies of this video on my site and also on my youtube profile. Also on my profile is a video of me playing slow and (I believe) with soul. Thanks for your responses! Sean

[crashpedo]

Even if it was impossible.... every thing is possible in this world! :D no offence to anyone

[XianNeng]

pretty sure the guy on the keyboard in the back is making the sound for this solo.

[Gl4nG3R]

What was this filmed with, a fucking toaster?

Good playing though

[RanaeGidgetxf535]

ha tell me your fantasies, spare no details and let's have a good time

[grif455]

240p we meet again

[MinecraftRadray]

It is possible, he did it -.-

[ACDCandGNR1]

I would say the solo is hard, but not impossible because one person can play it.

[xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx]

TABS??!!

[0snakebit3]

The description justifies it, so everyone please shut the hell up :')

[DeathRattleShakinng]

awesome dude.keep up the good work

[r6a7g]

not a bad tune actually. technical exercise. I liked it

[Jumzoid]

Holy sheet! You're the guy off Showcase all those years back. I remember I was a kid just starting guitar and I was looking forward to watching you perform, but for some reason I missed it and I was gutted.

Stoked I got to watch your acts on your site. You're a bloody genius!

[Samlaren]

It is not written by Kreisler. It is Novacek's perpetum mobile.

[vivadimebagdarrell]

Before: oh my shitty fucking god! this is fucking impossibly awesome!

Now: Sweeps... Sweeps everywhere... e.e

[kilianod5150]

the first part is based off perpetuum mobile by ottokar novacek in case any one was wondering

[atreyu12341234]

Sean I suggest you to listen more classical ... It's not Kreisler it's Novacek - Perpetuum Mobile. Hope nobody's offended ...

[jasaggio]

The playing is clean. I know you think your good and you like hotdogging it, but copying yngwie is nothing new or good. Show us something original. Like I said clean, but monkeys and parrots copy things as well

[clark2ml]

"This is an $80 squier strat!!!" i couldn't tell. lol

[axima21]

i have the same guitar

[slimyjimmy100]

Not good graphics but awesome solo

[FenceThis]

ahem.. It´s Kreisler - not Kriesler, unless it´s actually someone other than the austrian-american composer and violinist Fritz Kreisler ( 1875-1962)

[donottawaguitar]

cool shreds

[gahzeyboe]

HOLY SHIT THATS IMPOSSIBLE

[KamilMJFan]

@T16Akatsuki Yeah, You're Right

[DeepFriedBorito]

although its made up of mainly sweep picking its extremely hard to play

[mrsandmanxj9]

what Fritz Kriesler song is this

[UKIP3RF3CT1ON]

looks like rusty cooley to me tbh and playa like him too

[joshshannon]

I love that you used a cheap squier!!! I'll buy a cheap guitar with good wood quality and replace the electronics, pick-ups and usually tuners and nut with good ones You can buy a $100 dollar guitar put another 100 into it and have a killer little axe!!!!

[MasTahhhh]

Epic dance @ the beginning. :D

[TheJamzta]

That's the human skwisgaar.

[ggalexhutchings]

lol kriesler

[HawksWithRockets]

Nice shredding man!

[Macsk8ing]

HAHAAH SQUIER GUITAR.

[ErikEspangberg]

Nothing amazing or impossible about this solo but it's well played and that is what matters. You can see that he really knows what he's doing!

[lonestar7703]

I love it when people play classical music on electric guitar

[QueensJack]

Kid, I have one of those ''Squiers'' on the wall here as a decoration, if I could play it like that I would take it down and never use it as a decoration again... Excellent performance...

[rgj51876]

You make a $80 Squier Strat sound like a $1,000,000.00 guitar!!! Great chops bro!!!

[mikeb929man1]

Trippy

[TheJackdane]

You need a bigger stage and a better drummer...

[dragonmonkey420]

"self Mocking" or not it's still awesome in it's own right dude! And good point man, being the fastest does not equal being the best!

[sweetgyy]

not bad . better than slash lol 

[malonslaught]

Fast solos are pointless indeed! Good point Sean.

[denflotteste]

you are the next hendrix

[branded72]

This gets good at 2:04...

[mommywhereisdaddy]

which song is that?

[Kansasforlife]

Quality sucks, but that guy really has some f*kin' skills! It'd be cool to see an hd vid of him playing that solo ^^

[HendrixSRVClapton]

that's awesome! Great playing from beggining to the end!

[ttocsqwetrty]

You're right, being a fellow shredder, nice mix of speed and emotion on this clip.

[maoriwahine2008]

Actually I have seen him do a solo at a show I went to over 10 years ago where he drank a can of coke during his solo while he held his guitar by the neck with one hand and carried on his solo. Plus I have seen him do an awesome cover of a malmsteen song while demoing a fender stack amp and a Malmsteen sig series fender at one of those musical instrument shows in NZ

[00MrHardstyle00]

I could record this better with a calculator.. but still class guitar player!

[psnidDeadsea17]

Awesome reminds me of Hendrix. He played on low quality guitars but that didn't stop him.

[ChiskoJuanisimo]

Axl+Steve vai: Fuuuuuuuu Sion Haaaaa!!!!!!

[Mikeydafadedone]

@ChiskoJuanisimo lmao thats awesome

[sirtop001]

Zakk Wylde

[pozegausaill]

@sirtop001 Fuk yeaa! BLS

[Morenumbers123456789]

@sirtop001

Sean Clancy

[dmmonheit]

The next Bucket Head/slash/Kirk hammet/Joe Satriani/The best frikin guitarist evr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[orlandoCF1]

It goes to show that a cheap piece of crap guitar can sound like over a grand in the hand of great talent. Impressive.

[perfilbob13]

it's not impossible to play... but it's VERY VERY VERY hard!

[NathanVerdalci]

And he dances like Axel from guns n roses.. This is fuckin great!.. lmao

[NathanVerdalci]

Thats fuckin nuts! lmao

[beyondice1989]

i dont understand why you mock shred guitar. I dont think people like Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, Bruce Bouillet, Shawn lane, Tony Macalpine and the list goes on and on, ever told each other im gonna play faster than you and than anyone, thats a modern generation thing. Those guys worked so hard and became innovators of the guitar, they played for ours upon hours a day to improve and perfect their craft.

[vampslayerace]

@beyondice1989 Amen.

[MasterConsular]

shred rules.

[gerry25gdl97]

this shows people that the music is not the guitar it is the guitarist keep rocking dude your amazing

[lolioliol360]

he had to have incredibly long hair didnt he?

[redwashre]

Nothing worse than complaining you cant play because you have a substandard axe and someone comes along and shreds on it. Good guitar helps but does not a great player make. Good work and pretty funny too.

[henkjansart]

great

[FlameAssassinPRS]

lol anyone got a tab for this?

[baorichy7]

So beasty ;D

[Timo2570]

O_o ! Wow.

[purplepotleaves23]

aweeeesome

[FlameAssassinPRS]

This is just such a great performance.

[albacoredelight]

and the dancing to go with it fucking great performance.

[laughinjoker]

yeah yeah! the ones who serious plays are able to play in every focking guitar no matter the brand, the material no matter what! Great work!

[alucard123death]

OH FUCK! YOURE A GOD at shredding :P XD....

[keithAAhocks]

lmao this is unreal, it makes me happy

[Xt125yama]

actually, my squier broke. 

[archtopist]

What was he performing like Fritz Kriesler? Kriesler was a violinist, not a song (of course).

[thebrassmonkey100]

@archtopist thats the thing, its a violin peice on guitar

[m91856]

MAN DUDE THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT RAW TALENT AT ITS CORE. AND THIS GUY IS LIVING PROOF THAT U DONT NEED A THOUSAND DOLLAR GUITAR TO SOUND LIKE THAT. IT TAKES PRACTICE AND HEART. SO FUCK ALL THOSE NEW GUITARIST THAT STRUM POWER CHORDS AND NIRVANA LOVING PUNKS

[FreakVan11]

Damn you're awesome.

[Gorfo978]

haha i have that squier, u think u can give me the tabs to that man? i want to learn something like that

[wargasm58]

@Gorfo978 Oh, you think because you got a crappy Squier like his that will give you a edge? It will take hard work and dedication, not some guitar brand.

[guitargodthor]

Say what you want about an $80 squire but they are invincible and can not break!!

[45squire]

@guitargodthor im 13 and i have squire bullet stratt

squire is the fastest word i can type a second and a half

[technocorecorps]

@guitargodthor amen! i've had mine for 4 years, it looks better than my year old dean hahaha. -_- dean's blow. don't buy them. -_-



[HerCorpseReanimates]

@guitargodthor my squier broke dude not very long after i got it. the strap fell of and it hit the ground and split in half

[ht448]

@HerCorpseReanimates Glue and clamp it back together...

[circaxzero]

its not actually kriesler until about 1: 30. up to that, its perpetuum mobile by novacek

[ThatAudioChocolate]

Fender is my kind guitar.

[Migez93]

NIce solo :D Though can't here much here sound much better on his site though :D

[Eveonthehill]

this cutie ROCKS!

[VulcanHeStan]

Steve Scott was in your band?

He's an amazing bassist!

I happen to like Dragonforce's music, and I can say that the bass itself really ties together everything!

((I heard "Soldiers of the Wasteland" without bass... it sounded terrible...))

[babyfacenc]

It's easy to be snotty and post BS comments sitting on your ass.. Out of 7 mill+ views I doubt more than 3 people could get close to duplicating this.. Awesome playing sean. Enjoyed the vid./

[orthoman1000]

That boy's put in his hours.

[asparuh75]

The Best guitar player on the Universe

[supernova1050]

This guy gotz skillz

[SuperBigbadbill]

The quality of the sound and video was fair but as far as I can see and hear it was excellent.

[ThePiratephil]

very clean keep up the good work

[Googlegnome]

You don't take the 80's guitar thing seriously? C'mon, just admit it....yer loving it! Why else would you practice the style and grow the hair? ;-)

[bakuganwatcher]

damn!

[gertownage]

i liked it nice sweeps :)

[guitarfenic]

[ramee5hay]

It is so impossible yet this guy is doing just fine.

[manomyth11]

[MarisaSimonazzi]

[FreddyNugent]

He got the Pick of Destiny!

[blossompopstar]

@FreddyNugent ahaha pick of destiny

[schauspieler23]

Even if you didn't have a disclaimer, there's nothing there to disrespect. God if I could do that, I would have SO much self confidence that I would probably be able to give up alcohol.

[technoman43]

@schauspieler23 haha thats hilarious

[Enkaged]

i liked it

[goldviolinist1]

wht was the first one called before the preludium

[russel4141]

hahaha your a funny frontman

[blindrock1]

you are incorrect it is very possile to play this as we are watching him play it althought it is very hard

[locallistener]

@blindrock1 read the description...

[jguid492]

Was this recorded with a calculator?

[brontosaurious]

@jguid492 LOL xD

[TheDeserteagle95]

@jguid492 If i had the icon, I would give you a thumbs up!

[williejohn2003]

@jguid492 thats too funny...lmao

[ztolkanek09]

how can it be impossible when he plays it??

[sayakecil]

mightbe a $80 Squier but a different NECK! OK?

[chill320]

hmmm... did he film it with a calculator????

[x2xjaySx2x]

@chill320 haha thats funny lmfao....

[TheSonsofHorusx]

that is completely possible. however, you probobly could after about 100000 years of strait practicing lol

[paraTocarGuitarra]

great !

[MusicForMeHere]

This is why I need to learn how to sweep pick!!

[CarlosRomulo07]

haizt.,. y dont you apply at the dance crew .,?

ur good.,,.!!!

[howtodohelp]

good camera

[benceccato]

good on him :) shread it, and have fun..

[RoltonFan]

[laptoplarryspc]

@RoltonFan yeah very true

[zibzibbob]

good job



[MinoRomerO]

.__. Wou!! This man is creazy

[cradle4o]

its not impossible...just fucking RULESS!!!!

[TerminusCOBHC]

Nothing too difficult here. Very impressive playing, nonetheless.

[beckyxx333]

wow not much said lolz needs to play flight of the bumblebees!!!!



[DeadRabbitsWompy]

...this is an 80$ squier strat??? oO ....connected to 5000$ amp and got 1000$ strings on it :)

[pinchestupidez]

CASTLEVANIA!!! JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

[Phant0mik]

~I know this guy :)

[RonPaulMountainBiker]

So you are primarily a teacher and a performer?

[27systemofadownfreak]

not impossible, but jesus, i can never do that!

[unclearless]

When Van Halen opened for ted Nugent (In the early VH days) Ted tried Eddies rig during sound check to figure out Eddies sound. To his dismay, he sounded like Ted Nugent. The point is, with any decent $100 guitar, and a nice amp, If Eddie played it, he would sound like Eddie. You will sound like you. Same rig.

If you want to sound better, play better.

Explore the guitar from your own perspective. Who knows, you may find a niche like Andy McKee. Ya never know. Be yourself, girls like that! ;-)

[hirumachan666]

o-O...fuck, that guy is God !!! :D

[LAHAR1000]

awesome



[Huqe]

that guy has long fingers o.O

[Graemekiss]

whats pickups are you using in your guitar???

would love to know.

Regards Graeme Australia

[russianintrigue]

Very nice, that must be a very uncomfortable guitar to play.

[SPM0978]

8 notes per click at 208? Bullshit!......... Now you've made me sound like one of those keyboard tough guys who goes around whining about everyone on the internet and then pretends they know better when really they're also crap themselves........... I am crap, but that's not the point!!!!!!!

[HawaNinja]

love it

[XibFmViX]

Sean Clancy....u ARE THE MAN..holy shit!

[MsDavo123]

Incredible,amazing,fascinating­ solo...

[MsDavo123]

But who plays on guitar guys????????

[caxco93]

not impossible. just good

[LPFANSINCE2006]

wow



[tomitstube]

if it's "impossible", how did he just do it?

why apologize for a talent in playing fast? i'd give my left nut (why anyone would want it?) to play like that.

[LastManStanding37]

Sounds good man.

I do agree playing SUPER fast on guitars does not mean shit. You still have to have talent and know how to use it to create some epic shit. Keep on rocking man.

[TheHeyokaWarrior]

" Damm.... This Guy Is Really Good.

[Gmsrules99]

WOW isnt it sad how people complain bout grammar and spelling over the internet??

Nice guitar solo btw!!!

[amrosik]

sounds a little bit like toccata and fuge.

[cgarts1]

I get tired of people who think they need a $3000+ guitar to be good. It's not the guitar it's the person playing the damn thing. Eddie van halen proven that long ago others as well. Alot of audio guys always think they need the best to be better. Another example are street bucket players verses some one who has to have a 5000k drumset. Some of those street guys are amazing.

[vanhalenreaper]

@cgarts1 yo dude , you sare so right btw you did know eddie vanhalen

did make his own guitars

[Necronaut]

@cgarts1 i dont think its that they need it they just want a nice guitar. you cant compare street drummers to actual set players. I can bang on a bucket and sound just as good as any street bucket drummer. but you put them on a set, and they dont know wtf to do. my set was only 2000 altogether and it was worth every cent. people dont need the nice guitars/sets, they WANT them because there is such think as QUALITY in your instrument.

[simmarc81]

@Necronaut Its true

[electroboi99]

@cgarts1 i agree, jimmy hendrix started off with one that was barely even a gitar as his family grew up poor and could not afford a good one, point proven full stop end of i believe.

[Stijning]

@cgarts1 yes but there is also something that is calles practicing. But what if you don't have money to pay lessons? You're right by the way

- stijning

[magicmentalmaniac]

@cgarts1 Guitars that are worth more tend to be of better quality, and this is especially important in terms of intonation, and action (the height of the strings above the fretboard). Poorer quality guitars will create a buzz if you decrease the action, and to play shred guitar, it is necessary to lower the action as much as possible. You can get very good on a cheap guitar, but you need a well made instrument to play at your best.

[SupComFreak]

@cgarts1 Well, to be awesome, you need a Guitar which you could play with ease.

But noone says, that it has to be a Guitar costing 3k +.

[SGjammer22]

@cgarts1 surprisingly alot of people found out Eddies original frankenstein was a total shit guitar when they started selling $25,000 copies of it, and people bought them and actually tried to play them, lol. Its amazing how much he can do with so little.

[1awsomdude]

@SGjammer22

Yea and Eddie built it for him to play and him only, he knew every detail about his instrument and made it to fit his style, so of course no one other than eddie can play it. Its like trying to wear someone elses mouth guard, it just doesnt fit.

[luisfelipe701]

is he using David Gilmour custom guitar?

[BMmalkavavian]

Hey, nice playing, how to much cost that guitar? it sounds very good.Could you tell me about the engine of the guitar? mics, wood etc

[MjXllcommando]

nice playing, honestly if you played it any faster it would sound boring, you have it at a good in between spot, fast enough to be impressive, slow enough to be melodic

[Dyingbreed1990]

Great playing. And who says you need a $1200 guitar to sound good? Haha, all done on a cheap Squier Strat .

[MusicMaidenhead]

They are absolutley wonderfull guitars, I own a Strat and a Tele, much prefer the Tele though, plays fucking beautifully, I would much prefer a Tele over the Razorback or Mustaine V....fucking Razorback, looks sick as shit, but do you own one of those? They are FUCKING HUGE, impossible not to chip the edges and just awkward to sit down and play.

[lilticklez]

@Dyingbreed1990 nobody says that so yea...

[AirspaceProductions]

@Dyingbreed1990 Squier is the way to go.

[hairlessdog101]

@Dyingbreed1990 i agree i have a 1300 $ guitar but thats only because i like the way it plays but agree 100% with you i shreded my ass of on a 200$guitar for years ans it was amazeing just only had 22 fret i need 24

[SchultzNathalia]

OMG ! ;D

[TheLeoparkellar]

He must have the pick of destiny :) (tenasiouse D)

[U2DU]

@TheLeoparkellar fail you spelt tenacious d wrong! XD

[NME1994]

@U2DU fail you spelled... spelled wrong.

[Maltemackmannen]

@U2DU who the fuck cares? dont correct over the internet ;)
