[lissyhymel]

omg. this is NUTS! and schmoyoho has seen it and is amazed as well! what a compliment :D

[xXMoNtAg3S1Xx]

this wasnt tht bad it was pritty good i have to say

[Kohavytank]

Oh fuck! You made me watch that piece of shit! Man you suck.

And to think that you gained +1 in your views cause of me.....

[SHILOHH8R]

i am glad you were joking about quitting your job that you didnt have then had.

[InfomaniacJack]

Pure fuckin awesomeness!

[salsburyp]

Dude, you are AMAZING. I was blown away by your "Bed Intruder" rendition, and have shown it to many people. Now I find you have others?!? Subscribed! :-D

[PeppoMusic]

I have the first guitar part almost figured out (I think), but I'm having slight problems with finding the right positions at parts where you've put the text. I'd really appreciate it if you uploade a version without the text or something.

[chubmasterflash]

1:14 rofl a lame joke, yes. but i thought it was hilarious

[1emailer]

It's really stunning.

[sumusetta]

This. Is. So. FREAKIN. RAD.

[miromuchotv]

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

Touche...you got me twice...

[BerryMaid]

I hope you don't have a day job because you're a professional musician... Just listening to one vid makes me want a CD.

[Acutomatata]

I like your insane recorder skills. Wish I could do that.

[chefjohnshown]

Do you (by chance) have the notation for the guitar part that I could acquire? I love ATtN, but I am too lazy to transcribe it...

[tls234]

I'm playing this video and attn #7 at the same time. The internet is my god! Glad there are people out there doing this kind of kick-ass work. Thanks!

[brandobean]

similarly awesome. wanna hear some of your real stuff!

[Jyluth]

I love your notation system!

[FutureMillennium]

Haha, loved the ending.

Sick playing too

[funmiade]

[ackers11]

I like how you made a cameo appearance in Auto Tune The News 11

(Y)

[extrekkie13]

Can you explain your notation system? What do the squiggles mean?

[mikepenny01]

@extrekkie13

'Twas but the lamest of jokes.

[dibby656]

@mikepenny01 i laughed :P, maybe its a band geek thing :D

[mikepenny01]

@extrekkie13

My joke, that is. Not yours. I don't believe yours was a joke, right?

...I'm gonna go now.

[yhaider]

@extrekkie13 the squiggles are the emperors new clothes, do ya follow?

[extrekkie13]

Can you explain your notation system? What do the squiggles mean?

[extrekkie13]

You are so awesome. How many instruments do you play??? Do you ever go out? I wish I had your dedication!

[Guitarmajster]

[PreLoaderMan]

My congratulations! its a good job.

[Yakushii]

Loved the penny whistle as angry gorilla :D

[MrBokai]

Incredibly intricate classical playing...love it!

I had never really heard the Shamisen before, but it's an awesome instrument :)

[Billtog]

God damn that shamisen is rocking.

[tobiaschristo]

Awesome

[thisisthomasjordan]

[rwilli8]

[theredspider93]

0:48 - 1:11

[bobbyg640]

omg, awsome

[wompton]

That is great. Both shamisen, and guitar. never seen a gaijin on shamisen.

[GuinnessAML]

Bitchin'.

[xXFreedom18Xx]

this sux!

[Freewalker911]

hey fuck you! This is fucking rad! YYYYEEEAAHHH!!!!!

[RyxEuclie]

You write notation oddly. I didn't even know you could do it that way.

Or is that for the shamisen and thus different?

[peterscoop]

lol @ you he is just writing some random crap there

[Dactrin]

success!

[kappaman431]

THAT WAS EPIC. where do i get one?

[n723gw]

i love it, wonderful noise coming from that instument. great job.

[LivingLifeless9]

wow this is sweet, i calibrated this vid, and the ATTN #7 and it worked out very well HAHA nice work!

[nyguy18]

WOW. A fellow ATTN additct. I thought me and my wife were the only ones. We should have meetings. They're arrangements are INFINITELY good.

[stufo1]

dude this is sick haha

[k166a]

Awesome shamisen skillz dood!

[iomoo]

OMFG

[SouthMiamiHeights]

f*ing awesome, man! Outstanding!!! I love that you didn't even refer to the original swan lake melody in the chords you chose! Instead, you decided to just go with the melodies the gregory bros put together and that's what makes this amazing! You've got a great skill!

[McSplat]

I laughed out loud at the part where you're writing it down

[anokigryphon]

Awesome! the Shamisen was wonderfully executed!

[BossgameMedia]

I meant number 7 and 2 are my favorite(s)

[BossgameMedia]

can't wait to hear you do number * although this is my favorite ATTN. (Well 2 is up there too) Good Job!!!

[toxn54]

nice work, can't wait to hear it in a full orchestration. Cellos, Oboes, Violins, Tempany Percussion, and maybe an xylophone. :)

[Essasmusic]

Absolutely brilliant.

[Volvo745T]

Mike, nice work ... excellent playing as well as video production.

[0truth0]

WHOAAAAA. You should get more views! I subscribed! :D

[ironcore1]

[The504EVER]

[mdb305]

AI just had a blasty-mcblasterson!

[AndyKrull]

people on the road can turn an L-O-L into a great big O-M-G!

very nicely done. 5*

[Adibzz]

cool

[healcannon]

Heya mike =p keep up the great work, hope your holidays were good. TTYL.

[pesamesagisum]

Oh man, that was sick! I'm very impressed.

[redhatcore]

perfect !!!

[Spyder8477]

that was awesome, but never did i hear any auto-tune fun. that's not a bad thing however because this melody was already in tune....NOICE

[FungusTrooper]

Aw you skipped out on most of the past part, LOL/OMG :(.

But still what you did do was freaking amazing. Good job. Loved the notation too :D.

[schmoyoho]

my mind is blown and i'm not even tripping on shrooms

[mikepenny01]

That's what I said when I saw ATTN for the first time!

[mikepenny01]

Also when I saw Jimmy Smith Park II for the 100th time.

[Beauxdeauxfinglok]

Haha, "Not as good....as Jimmy Smith Park...but almost as good...as Jimmy Smith Park..."

The best footage of somebody suddenly sitting up, dancing, with a shit-eating grin that has ever been produced.

[thenameless191993]

LOL smoking lettus with tomato?

[Beauxdeauxfinglok]

@Schmoyoho

It must be a great feeling to see people paying such tribute to your hard work, fueled by your effort the same way you were fueled by the efforts of your 'idols'.

One of the greatest things I've gotten out of my cable bill.

[zarisstokell]

outstanding.

[TronicSpeedsta]

Sounded amazing! I myself want to play some of the ATTNs on guitar, but you're a maestro at work!

[stigandr5]

Hehe, now there's a happy way to start the day. Thanks, Mike.

[Tazwegian]

awesome! I am still working on ATTN #6 on the acoustic. I suck :(

[mikepenny01]

Wow. I'd like to hear it if/when you get it into shape!

[pizzaboysam]

Love singing along to these

[pkm54]

absolutely amazing

[SkySho116]

Nice. Good job, MIke. Can a shawty get a shot to the frontal lobe? Ohhh!
