Sebastien Cloutier - Think

[paindeer]

wasted time.

if you really call it living.



[fyzikfyzik]

only those understand his faces who have tried playing guitar at least once.

[bazewiz]

the whole song he looks like hes sucking a cock

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@bazewiz he's mimicking the singing of the guitar :)

[Cyberbob182]

He definitely knows Joe Satriani pretty well : he uses the same legato style, the same inverted floyd rose movement, and the very same pick technic to make a fast tapping... Also the same kind of song structure like that song had to be sung and not played.

[joseph2bc]

this kinda sounds like something Joe Satriani would play

[GalantyGuitarist]

Digitech Whammy?

[ikeman1156]

@GalantyGuitarist Yes it is.

[GalantyGuitarist]

@ikeman1156 Thanks I thought it was =(

[Cyberbob182]

@GalantyGuitarist Absolutely and it is tuned on 2 octaves above ;)

[orabidoo]

tubular bells

[LittleMall]

I dare you to post a video of yourself playing this track half as well as Mr. Cloutier. If you do i will eat my hat AND my boots

[797763]

I don't really think he deserves to be in Candyrat

[TheVampireSteve]

@797763 no... ur poo

[ikeman1156]

@797763 Well tell me why is that?

[boredwan]

For people who might mistake him as a very young guitar player: Sebastien is in his mid to late 30's. He has been playing for nearly 20 years. The amount of skill he has is to be expected from a person who doesn't spend a large amount of thier time in music

[TheVampireSteve]

@boredwan Not at all bro. First of all this isn't his most complex piece, second of all just those pinch harmonics show some beastly talent

[kratcliffe1]

Sounds a lot like Dream Theater!

[kratcliffe1]

Sounds a lot like Dream Theater!

[monochromeEARTH]

sounds more like it belongs in f zero

[wytwolfen]

I love the way this guy plays guitar but I'm going through gallons of "Smug Be Gone" getting that crap off my screen.

[umbilicaltapeworm]

@wytwolfen what is smug about the dude enjoying himself? he doesn't speak the whole time lol...

[yoerivcz]

this is totally awesome, but there's one thing i can't stand .. this bastard isn't looking at his hands for the half of the time.....f*cker .............(pure jealousy)

[dirkdirden]

Saturn Bomberman + Final Fantasy + I like turtles.

[mycahman]

i wish people would listen to music every now and then..... note the comments below

[NUM8ANDY]

Glad he's got rid of the clichéd Led Zep T-shirt and torn jeans, but he hasn't got rid of his cliched Floyd-Flutters, pinched harmonics overload and to make things even worse, a two-octave-jump-for-the-sake-o­f-it unnecessary Whammy pedal turn.

While he's a great player, there's nothing new to see here. I guess all the tricks keep the bedroom fretwankers happy...

[IlkenGirth]

@NUM8ANDY You know, you speak some truth. However, this is his style. If you want something new, I might recommend looking up something else. It is what it is. He is very talented, and a lot of hours were put into playing guitar and you should show some respect. Especially, considering you have absolutely nothing to compare to. I'm of course referring to your lack of videos. So if you want to talk trash, you might want to try actually having talent yourself first. Envy is common in your type.

[NUM8ANDY]

@IlkenGirth Wow? Rather than trolling and bitching and "talking trash", I give a totally balanced critique of his style including giving him the credit he deserves? And yet you still have a little foot-stamping tantrum because I dared to criticise!? Of course he's a better guitarist than me - that's why he has recording representation and I don't, but don't come back to me in a pathetic attempt to "challenge" me when even you acknowledge I said the truth. Jealous? Absolutely not...

[NUM8ANDY]

@IlkenGirth I'm nowhere near jealous. But I do have 25 years of playing behind me that gives me the knowledge and experience to make a reasoned judgement. Your "you couldn't do any better" line is common in your type - you can't make an equally balanced argument back. I don't like this style. It's too formulaic, too little "emotion" and has been done better too many times before. Fine if you like it. I, and all the others who compare it to a computer game soundtrack don't either. Get over it.

[IlkenGirth]

@NUM8ANDY Sounds like I hit a soft spot. You are the one throwing a tantrum, for no reason might I add. I was not insulting you, or at least I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just saying, that if you are going to throw around such bold statements, you might want to have some evidence of your superior guitar skills or a superior playing style. Otherwise, I would recommend showing some respect. As for the lack of emotion, I agree. His style is very firm, but that is good for mastering your form.

[NUM8ANDY]

@IlkenGirth Soft spot? Is that what this is about? I provide a balanced opinion and your only counter is that I, in fact no-one can do so unless they are better in that subject. So you have no opinion of what makes a good animated film (I've checked your profile) because you couldn't possibly create one like Katsuhiro Otomo? Pathetic. Remember, I'm not the only viewer here who shares my opinion, on this and other clips - cliched, emotionless and nothing new. Hang on, I'd better ask Steve Vai...

[IlkenGirth]

@NUM8ANDY You apparently have no grasp of what I'm saying. You also apparently just want to argue for the sake of arguing. So do what you will. Out of respect for this video (what little you have) and the author (again, what little you have) let's stop wasting space in his comments. If you want to continue this childish bout, you can pm me. I won't read them, but at least you can vent all this passive aggressive fury you seem to have.

[FolkMetalBass]

never has a guitar sounded so bland and digital. he can play allright, but i don't enjoy it.

\there's also 82095820850238520385 musical groups that make this exact music.

[ImperialstarTama]

SONIIIIIIIIIC! THE HEDGEHOD! :D

[RyunSharp]

131 people don't know what good music is and are Justin Bieber fans.

[RyunSharp]

Arc System Works (the guys behind Guilty Gear and Blazblue) might wanna hire this guy!

[fatmanjenkins789]

bonus points for the starwars shirt.

[Gingerlord01]

this is where i put my guitar down XD does anyone know where i can get tabs for his songs?

[brando24567]

I'll bet that all you guys shooting your mouths off could not play 1/ 10 th as good as Sebastien. I certainly don't see your uploads ofr your original music. Great work Seb !

[boredwan]

how crushed would everyones hearts be if he was a beiber fanboy?

[SnickersWasHere555]

Why do I feel like this music would go great with the Gunship Battle in WoW?

[adelsballen]

is this the same guy as in "best guitar improvisation ever" by davidmeshow?

[anarki2004]

@adelsballen hell no, that guy sucks

[Gingerlord01]

@adelsballen no, david meshow is actually david meshow

[AcousticDreams0]

1:59 win

[Muffdiva360]

FUCKING MEGAMAN

[Gamerdad81]

@Muffdiva360 I was thinking the same thing lol

[chaserthewolf]

Hey guys, leave him alone. :c

The only reason why he's making those faces is because his music is too good. So he cums repeatedly.

[MrTruthseeker135]

ca fait dream en ta son affaire...

[blackguitar3112]

just reminds me of sonic music like this would prolly make it more playable

[elblaskigitarzystagg]

nice song and crap face but for song i give +

[markusthefarkus]

@elblaskigitarzystagg crap face? man its annoying to hear people to judge musicians by their looks >.> man if your going to do that dont' listen to music it doesnt' have anything to do with how they look its about the music

[sk3ne]

His face at 1:12. Priceless

[dragonkid521]

this guy blows my asshole till my shit comes out my dick. blehhhhhhh.!?

[bazewiz]

man people give poor sebastian a hard time on youtube hes better than me at guitar hes better than you at guitar his songs would be good in computer games or if humans still had sword fights, just give him a thumbs up dont be sad that you're not as good and rate him down for it :(

[JUMBOpin]

i know i'm commenting a lot...but is that a JEM? it sounds amazing

[guitarrhythymfool]

@JUMBOpin Not a JEM. JEM's have that monkey grop handle thing.

[JUMBOpin]

@guitarrhythymfool well of course...it just looks like it despite

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

@JUMBOpin

Hes got an Ibanez Prestige i believe

[enigami08]

what pedal did he use to increase the pitch of the sound?

[EssalGuitar]

@enigami08

It's a Digitech Whammy Pedal, made famous by Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello among others.

[gerpir]

Damm great playing! Love metalic sound of dums (not a drummer so dunno how is it called).

What model of Ibanez is it?

[JUMBOpin]

@gerpir it's pretty much all snare.............

[rayzatube]

Nice Sebastien

[TheBookOfMassi]

barring his tremolo arm, does anyone know which effects he's using? is that overdrive?

[Customisbetter]

@TheBookOfMassi

He is also using a Digitech Whammy pedal.

[JUMBOpin]

@TheBookOfMassi i doubt it's a crumby digitech...lol...he's above that junk...bwahahah

[guitarrhythymfool]

@JUMBOpin Nope. Watch the video for R.N.B., you can see he has a Whammy pedal on the floor as part of his chain.

[jrwise100]

It remindes me of devil may cry intro song

[rootvalue]

0:54 & 1:23 feature some really masterly-used effects. Excuse my silly language, but that tremolo-esque effect is really fitting.

[killmaster]

yeh its pretty simple to get that tremolo effect, but sounds really cool. its a simple smack of the whammy bar so it rebounds and twangs back and forth.

[roachstr0099]

dude, you should get hire to do video game music. this would TOTALLY bring back mega man! imagine being responsible for making a game come back? awesome.

[Hootherchy]

dirty? ok if you can do somethin' better...send it

[Bluejerra]

Soo dirty.

[SilentHebi]

that looks exactly like a rg120 but im proabaly wrong

[spooner1957]

@langerzoriginal i believe it's in "eternal guitar orgasm world"

[AustinAlive1]

@langerzoriginal i think it might be in canada or something

[killer1098]

@AustinAlive1 your absolutely right

[Raksha60]

All that comes to mind right now is an epic Super smash brothers battle O.O

That or an immense sonic level

[markusthefarkus]

@Raksha60 haha same here

[perks320]

Its gud. But I got kinda bored...

[Unknownbmxr]

i think he is what vai and paul gilbert's baby would look like. and then he got taught by satch

[astaschak]

I love this guy. What kind of ibanez is he using?

[SheikhAlf]

rg series

[astaschak]

do you know which rg it is?

[SheikhAlf]

it's an rg tremolo. It's a cheap guitar really. But im not sure what model. cant find it on the website.

[immortalguardianband]

@astaschak i highly doubt an artist at this level would be using something cheap...it's obviously an ibanez RG series...the tremolo keeps it in tune so it's definitely not a licensed floyd rose or a cheap edge tremolo...24 fret...humbucker-humbucker setup...more than likely a bolt-on neck based on the trend of ibanez guitars...this thing could easily run a grand or more at retail price...if it's neck thru, bump the price up just a tad bit

[astaschak]

it looks just like my rg 120 exactly, but most of the rg's do look the same. I imagine it would be a more expensive one. but you never know.

[wesuhlee]

i looked a bit closer...it's definitely a bolt on...this could be a mid to high level guitar...it does look like the 120, however the guitar stays in tune way too well with trem use to be an beginning level guitar

[rootvalue]

@immortalguardianband Has anyone considered sending him some mail?

[immortalguardianband]

@rootvalue haha naw...cloutier > me

[Saxxxmannn]

Santana looks good without his hat and the beardectomy.

[JohnnyOw]

rememenber me back dream theather for zelda hahahahaha

[ashdevon]

now that's WICKED!! ^_^

[Spaulding13]

Is anyone else getting a Nobuo Uematsu feel from this track?? :D

[nyckelwound]

ahhaa xD me ! Specially because of the overall feel of the effect he uses on the guitar.

[xmyownpersonx]

@Spaulding13 agreed it does kinda give off a vidoe game vibe.

[arikdahn]

@Spaulding13

Yeah, a lot. Then again, I spend a lot of time listening to people shredding their renditions of his final fantasy masterpieces.

[palemale200]

this song would not be good with out the backtrack

[patrickforgey]

I think Antoine has a video of you two playing this at the guitar festival?  Amazing!!

[MenaceDemENACE]

Killer tone & composition .. I Love it !

[KenobiFromCoruscant]

big time satch influence

[HelloWorldOD]

It's like a mix between Searching and Surfing With the Alien, in terms of style. Then he mixed in his own feeling, melody, tone, etc. into it.

[bassificate]

i wanna meet this rpoland guy.

he makes youtube stars. wtb rpoland in cary NC.

boosh.

seriously, tho- this guy is a badass on guitar. talk about someone who feels and reads on the same level...

what are your favorite books by chance?

do your callouses ever cause your hands to cramp?

does leroy even deserve a jenkins?

how do robots talk?

[hihihibadbad]

rpoland is candycat channel, not a guys channel u know?

[DestinyA7X]

love the effects is he using a digitech whammy pedal

[CuRsEE]

i want to be a Candyrat artist.. all their artists are very talented.

[moose501]

well he is playing one of joes guitars, i mean satriani is big time endorsd by ibanez, plus this guy seems to have the tone of J.S. pretty munch nailed, plus hes proly got some distortion and weird other little things i also definitely hear some buckethead .

[SpawnOfMetal]

He isn't using one of Joes guitars at all . . . it's a Ibanez RG model . . .

[K1LL14N]

I think joes guitars aren't that nice actually... I prefer just Ibanez like Sébastien is using :P

[elipoop123]

i cant really hear any buckethead influence in there. ya cant really sound quite like buckethead without utilizing his signature natural minor scale

[Brandter]

Um, no, thats not a J.S guitar. His signature is more rounded on the body. Sebastian is using a RG Tremolo, and thats not even a prestige model. It costs like $800.

[shorty2689]

this song is verrrry satchy... sick

[metaljunky69123]

how?

[cannibalmancamel]

Ibanez RG. it's the way to go.

[ksoooo]

you can hear some satriani in there ;]

[trippypeace]

I was thinking the same thing. Haha. Not only satriani but a little buckethead maybe as well!

[LukeGeee98]

Indeed!!!

[ohmygooooood]

jeje, yes I can

[Iamthegherkin]

I agree - the kind of eccentric effects seemed very satchy so me.

[b34nsNc0rnbread]

whammy pedal FTW \m/

[JHMartinsen]

It's an octave pedal, I think - not a whammy.

[WayneXtwilight]

Which guitar is that?

[H75119847]

an Ibanez RG, don't know exactly what model

[3absi]

damn good :) amazing techniques

[Pendulumdude34]

sickk pretty awesome

[Paninian]

This is cool. Its kinda proggie which is always a good thing.

[chillVibes]

sounds like ghont in the shell at parts

[mattyboy0011]

WOOO! I love ghont in the shell. lol

[enpitsuHB]

this sounds like the ONE song in a game like megaman that just ROCKS and you stay in that part of the game for hours just to hear the song over and over :-) it is truely WAY COOL!!!!

[Gen0bee]

Love the kind of sounds you can pull off with that whammy!

[yaddledaddle]

It dont matter what kind of Ibanez it is. They all ROCK!

[house1918tyler]

lmao, ya right, wat about the shitty 200 dollar ones, like the one the singer in my band has, the ibanez's with inf pickups suck

[megadethman21]

any one know the model number on that ibanez?

[carlosewm]

370, I think, don't let yourself be fooled, the guitar won't sound like in the video, unless you have a studio.

[BADBOY131]

i kno its an rg but im not EXACT on the type of rg

[VokkaDrums]

who is the drummer man? sounds like mike portnoy or the next mike portnoy, anyone know?

[InFlam3sW3Trust]

There could be no drummer, could be a machine. if its a person i agree he's pretty sick

[xxNinjaxxAssassinxx]

love the Whammy pedal effects . VERY NICE.

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

i love this guys stuff

[njwfunmaster]

d[-_-]b Very Nice d[-_-]b

[sta928]

the pitching effect is called a ring modulator that u can find on quite a few processor pedals

[Rg1527]

no its called a whammy pedal, its made by digitech

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

Digi isnt the only one

[Nezrimo]

Nope :P.

Its actually a pitch shifter.

[house1918tyler]

nope nope, its just a whammy pedal

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

lol you seem to be the only one who knows haha

[semisuperhero]

WORD on the O-faces!!! LOL : 0

[rockinReaper]

his pedal is called "whammy pedal"!

[Harky1995]

This riff his a kind-of fantasy feel to it !

Loving it though!

[02049202]

sounds like some kind of pitch shifter

[austindemented]

sounds like a boss fight in Final Fantasy

[Ranz1616]

yeah man

[Deanbass77]

Haha wow it does.

[CadetLD]

Boss GT-10 will get you pretty close so long as your guitar has a trem.

[slayermik]

digitec whammy 2

sounds like hes using a steve vai gemini and a harmonizer of some sort

[juice797]

That is pretty awesome but I don't like his O-faces.

[Dremth]

666 ratings ;)

[SpankingDuck]

Incase you're wondering where he is, he's playing at home. It just looks shit because every time he plays, the house suffers massive damage and must undergo serious repairs.

[RabidCookie]

Like, he freaks out and breaks stuff, or the vibrations actually dismount some of the furnishings?

[SpankingDuck]

the vibrations, well now that you think about it...

[RabidCookie]

that just gave me dirty thoughts lol... he gets so rowdy he goes tazmanian all over that joint

[SpankingDuck]

hahaha rofl...

[vicecitymodgameridol]

ajaja the guitar looks sexy to play!!

its techno¿?

[balmungofazureskies]

New Megaman soundtrack.. ^^

[LegenderyMan]

Lol thats right.If Capcom foes this music in a

megaman game that is BALLS TO THE WALLS awesome then i will die a happy man again.

BTW Splash Woman FTW

[kplata347]

AH-MAZING

[fredx93]

yeah i'll take ist to my favs

very nice

[theknapkins]

Glod i love the whammy pedal

[BeginningDrawer]

bet you dont look any better :P and very much people open their mouths when they concentrate if you meant that

[VeritasAlienari]

Tell me asuras75, what the FUCK does that have to do with anything?

Horrible attitude, man. Wake up to reality before the good things in life pass you by.

[pbonney]

Have to second that. Sorry that he actually expresses emotion when he plays and doesn't just stand there looking like a wooden board.

[RabidCookie]

I disagree with the perception that just because somebody doesn't move, doesn't mean they play with no emotion. It's a very ignorant and short sighted assumption about ANY musician.

[yowho242]

hes just jammin' man

if u had half the talent this guy had your tounge would hang from your mouth
