que buen guitarrista se ve que era muy bueno tan solo con ver como es que fue su interpretación, ademas de que no perdió el ritmo y lo hiso tan natural como si no hubiera nadie obserbandolo excelente me quede sin palabras
I have a cousin that plays as good as this guy, but for some reason he's struggling all the time to be able to afford rent and food as such... Such a pity.
guy is clearly talented far beyond a normal musician, but he plays on the street so he must not play professionally? maybe he just felt like playing outside that day and makin some tips in the mean time.... it's not unheard of
what a shame. talent like this should be noticed by studios and recordings not on the streets. we don't know what art is anymore. we see talent and ignore it because people don't understand what talent is.
Yeah I'm sure this video was posted so everyone who can't play this well can hate on his talent. Who cares about his technique. How many musicians are perfectly flawless in their mechanics anyhow? Dude is talented, bottom line.
@cperception Greek maybe poor ATM but if u go out and see your country's most famous buildings they have Greek style and signature... if u know what i mean...
You could have all the talent in the world, but if you aren't personable, well-groomed, etc., your prospects for financial enhancement diminish proportionally. But don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking his choice and perhaps he has put a greater premium on freedom than money which is certainly understandable. I just hate to see the guy suffering on the street when he obviously has the chops to go pro.
@aaronyoo1989 I agree with you that "money, power, and fame" don't define success in and of themselves, but unlike you, I don't feel that manifesting those things and nurturing spiritual integrity in other areas of your life are necessarily mutually exclusive. As for "suffering," have you tried living on the street lately? I personally like to bathe occasionally and have access to warmth, hot food, electricity, and clean clothing.
@GregDiablo my think is he do have want for freedom more than money like you said. because he look very happy! most likely know he have talent to get money, but my think is he choose that path. i understand him. ^ ^
@GregDiablo Just because he's next to a trash can doesn't mean he's suffering. People save money and get jobs on wallstreet to live ocean side, and thats a trashcan now too!
@cowedbywisdom Fair point, I grant you that, but I wasn't really focused on the garbage can at all. And naturally, I agree with you about Wall Street... you might like this tune about them soundcloud (dot) com/gregdiablo/cut-the-crap-g-diablo
@camshreds It seems that he cut his teeth using a pick (playing like Marty Friedman at that), and then decided to figure out how to do it fingerstyle, while keeping the picking techniques within the realm of possibility.
I've been watching a bunch of busker/street performer videos in a row and just about everybody says what the description says, "Should be on stage." Why knock the streets as a venue?! I think it's a unique fascinating venue, and they often make more money on the streets than a club.
@onlyyonky funny do you expect things just to be original in every aspect ? He is a busker so of course in order to gain attention he has to play well known tunes not necessarily an original dont be a dick
Unbelievable. The music charts today is full of computer generated crap where the artists get paid millions with minimal talent. Here's a guy busking on the streets probably with a few dollars to his name... and he has truly mastered his instrument. He could probably play these songs backwards if you asked him. This guy should be performing with Al Di Meola & Chick Corea. AMAZING.
@kiwilifter well acually idk about playing them backwards cuz it sounds like improv so he prob doesn't even remember what hes playing but its true that media is fucked
@kiwilifter "Computer generated crap"? If you knew how much time, effort and sweat true electronic producers put into mastering their craft, how steep the learning curve is, what incredible musical geniuses most of these men and women are, you would never say crap like that again.
Educate yourself on a topic before blurting out abusive crap.
@AlexRider001 Wasn't meant to be abusive. Most of the stuff in the charts is done on computers, anything that is played live is synced in, edited and altered later. Vocals are compressed and any notes that are slightly off are put into tune, again by technology. FWIW, I have worked in the studio with artists such as Vanessa Mae and spent 4yrs in college studying music theory & technology. Time and effort is not the same as being a musical genius, no way. If you think that then you are deluded.
I wasn't equating hard work with extreme talent, just saying that such talent is frequently a feature of purely electronic producers (that's my opinion, and I'll give you that it's highly debatable :P).
I have little to no admiration or respect for most chart music myself, but you have to admit that the production value on those kind of tracks is usually extraordinary (it has to be, after all).
The pinky on his right hand even cut that groove right into the guitar! Strange that he would know so much and use such unconventional style at the same time.....Mesmerizing virtuosity though!
that must be the most original and disturbing right hand I have ever seen! Is he using his thumb downwards and inner finger (up AND down) like a madman at the same time...? Any other guy would have no fingers left if he played like this! How can he do this without a pick?!
can someone please tell me where this is, i mean, street, city?? how can i contact this guy?????
