Adam Fulara - Maple Leaf Rag

[iTzaEvilTurnip]

Well smubbs, I'm on itouch so I can't reply, but how the hell did that look fake to you? But it okay, clearly ur not good at telling when things r fake, I mean, look at ur gf's boobs or listen the the sounds she makes in bed. Genuine? Surly not

[gilliancarson]

this is AWESOME.

[Smubbs]

fake

[PhillEDips]

That was awesome!

[yomummaisahobbit]

It's wrong how such talent like this can be unnoticed by most of the world yet we get the shit "artists" rubbed in our faces all over TV and the radio...

[Sorgutentarer]

@yomummaisahobbit Because; some listen to music, some play music, some CREATE music.

[RocktheProject]

amazing!

[gawdzila]

O_O

MY HEAD ASPLODE.

[bdbugaile]

i'm trying to figure out why people dislike this.

[FateMan22]

@bdbugaile

because they try to play this but fail :c

[TomiRing]

Very well done, great job! I play the same piece on piano, and I can imagine it is harder to play it on guitar. Congratulations!

[odingr]

actually its like playing piano, but harder.

[KazKylheku]

@odingr It's not only harder than piano, it's harder than playing guitar the normal way.

Anyone can walk up to a piano and play a note. Or a simple chord or scale. Hit the keys, clear sound comes out.

Not so with tap-style guitar. It's very hard to get just a single note to sound properly, especially with the right hand. It's almost completely "wrong" for the instrument to sound notes that way.

[GaoZimu]

my ears were like WTF BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

[DrSavoiano]

man I play this on my piano...but this is great!!!

[SizelovePM]

Amazing

[halvard77]

Adam man ... keep it up. Absolutely great. 

[chinchillamelee]

WHAT WAS THAT :O

WOAH. THAT WAS EPIC *.*

[robertoladisa]

Very Good ^_^

Ciao from Italy ;-)

[johnjtheoriginal]

very good!

there are some other very talented players that can do things like that; anyway the best remains stanley jordan

[cebukid70]

Excellent!!!

[shredhappy101]

that guitar is made specifically for that kind of style because you can't fret the top guitar normally.

[DROCKS357live]

How could anyone dislike anything this ridiculously awesome!!

[Endexter]

brilliant

what is that on the fret board?

[Beqpe]

@Endexter probably paper or something else to keep the strings not "ringing" when he doesnt want to:)

[Jpmrem]

A true musician.

[datapro007]

Adam, you are truly amazing! I love this rendition. I hope you get the recognition you deserve.

[hesgoneman]

boo ,, hisss,,, rubbish., anyone could do that

[Chuektor]

Who te fuck would dislike this? great clean tapping : D

[BluuSkyz]

he should do this on the shitter while playing harmonica and base with feet. Now thats multitasking

[crast460]

The end sounds like Mario64 :D

[treasuremen]

wtf, you have a green wall, like a chroma, put the nyan cat behind you!!

[Dails08]

Not that this isn't fantastic, but why not just play the piano at this point? The two hands are each basically playing what each would play on the piano.

[alfonsodpn]

@Dails08 becuase, the piano doesn't look so awesome xD

[thefinalb0ss]

You remind me of Salad Fingers but with a guitar instead of a flute, and you're good at it. Come to think of it, it's just your fingers that remind me of Salad Fingers.

[taariqtaariq]

I wonder if he has a girlfriend or is that all he does?. I mean I'd have to play for 4000 years for 25 hours a day to be able to do that.

[GlockenspielSAS]

This isn´t a guitar man :D it has only the neck pickups and he only taps on it :D this dude rocks

[stevensgarzon78]

genial



[zapatmlls1]

Legend

[luizanaluiz]

WOOOOOOWWW!!! amazing!!!!! is the most great of all. :D

[tomfy1979]

Wow,that was amazing!!

[silentmidnightsun]

you are so cool

[pantomicino]

Gran técnica, buen trabajo, pero...un poco desangelado o sin sabor.

[Judge1982]

well that just cured my constipation

[BrandonHicks15]

He's a f*cking genius! ..... Some people are good at math others with science but this guy is a Guitar Master!

[whohash]

Wow! Great job!

[ThisIsNotVincent]

I guess the the top neck was always meant to be played "over the neck".

[septtau]

@ThisIsNotVincent Or it's a double neck for people with really thin fingers

[MrRichardNoggin]

this guys got nothing on beiber ............

[poleonil]

Damn

[nogermsplease]

might as well just a piano... never understood guitarist who play like this

[halby720]

@nogermsplease i piano actually sounds better then this...

[Guitareben]

@nogermsplease He might prefer the sound? :)

[SteveStung]

I see now. The top note was played but it didn't sound. Shame.

[SteveStung]

Well that's very fine indeed. Shame about the last two chords. They don't round it off the way they should. Ever heard of Heinrich Schenker?

[TheVinceIndy]

great come faces!

[baxman32189]

awesome! But u misspelled maple

[ionia23]

The Chet Atkins of fingertapping. He makes it look so easy, and we all know it's anything BUT easy :).

[Sabatyr]

I like how he uses newspaper to mute the strings..Very resourceful :)

[KamiwanMUFFINS]

Maple* But, great job(:

[rillloudmother]

You might want to spell it correctly. It is 'Maple Leaf Rag.'

[jellitunes]

Wow man... that was totally sick... this guy gets all the girls he wants

[chaloafinmothers]

That's incredible...I bet he's still a virgin though

[freshhh1994]

@chaloafinmothers

ur the virgin OKKK

stfu

[chaloafinmothers]

That's incredible...I bet he's still a virgin though

[Patcher999]

WOW!

[jojo4400garfield]

now you guys know what playing the piano is like!!! :P

[taylor61160]

Stanley Jordan eat your heart out!

Unreal stuff!

Great work man

[Cookie24376]

maple leaf rag XD

[villevn]

Very nice, good job man! :)

[wdowa94]

Yep, and sing with this playing...... This will be most weird and impossible guitarist

[Tactividz]

You are a very talented musician, it must have taken you ages to learn that and you have the most epic facial expressions when playing lol ^.^

[agent4778]

Shit O_O

[michaelvirginia]

Amazing that he can play like that with both hands at once..

[MrTmd747]

Good job! Very cool!

[tpain2345]

this is wonderful

can't help but picture an old timey dude wearing a red, white, and blue striped shirt and hat sitting at a piano in a bar playing something jangly

[Billblom]

Impressive!

[OwhatOtheOfuckO]

hehe thats coolys:P

[micheletanzi1971]

quando pensi di aver visto tutto c'e' sempre qualche genio che ti stupisce....

[kamalasdeath]

awesome :D

[themanyone]

I imagine when I die I'll see the devil playing like this and he'll be like, "So, what have you done with your life?"

[thegermbag]

talk about SERIOUS multi-tasking!

[whitermerhill]

My phone rings like this xD

[Dalmenco]

GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rfvansaun]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[Jmarrero2525]

why do you have tape around the first few frets on your necks

[NajNilak]

@Jmarrero2525 To dampen the strings.

[nletizio]

this is incredibly impressive

[smithsterino]

Bloody awesome dude! And u controlled ur face now too!!

[musicman1326]

Wow.



[TheKaroleczek]

kurrrrrrrrde... lachy mają potencjał artystów, a są zbyt zawistne, żeby się wsperać nawzajem. Jestem Twoim fanem, Adam!!! Niech Ci się wiedzie: trzeba nam więcej ludzi z pasją!

[hellraiser7974]

Chuck Norris can play on 3 necks at the same time...:-D Good job!!!

[Lihavoitu]

You are really good =)

[a0cdhd]

quite so!

[iziahlights]

I play guitar but after watching this I am sat here thinking why bother lol?

[LiquidChildren69]

can i call bullshit? cant be this good. if it is, well then bravo more power to ya but this seems a little too flawless, cuz out of all of these notes, none are fluked or missed

[louswire]

@LiquidChildren69 there's a lot to be said about the merits of practice,practice and moar practice.

[Bigerjoel]

GEANT ! 

[ferociouspottypeople]

uuuuhhhhhmmmmm................­........WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH

BEST THING IVE SEEN ON YOUTUBE IN A LONG TIME, WHY DOESN'T THIS GET PUBLICITY INSTEAD OF JUSTIN BIEBER

[Aluminiumimmunitaet]

@ferociouspottypeople just the fuck up with your justin bieber.. GO AND MARRY HIM

[abcaines]

@ferociouspottypeople Because society doesn't care about talent... they just want mind candy.

[Spaggy423]

Very well done..!

[chuecan2007]

probably one of the greatest things ive seen in youtube

[robloxplox]

how did you developed indepence on your hands D:

[skjoyner]

AMAZING

[hideharumijahir]

Dobry jestś:)))

[degrangier]

Absolument génial. Tout autre commentaire est superflu.

[ht448]

Zack kim Pfff this guys better :D

[lastpatriot4America]

To cool

[Nicksbia]

i feel like if jimi hendrix was alive he'd wanna hang out with this guy i have no clue why

[taariqtaariq]

@Nicksbia Hendrix would want the dude to drop acid with him and have a day off playing this insanely tricky stuff.

[CCC7351]

That is incredible! I know nothing about guitar, but that is INCREDIBLE!!!!

[busylifemeto]

@Netrex44 Because your probably Donald Fuck LOL

[eroginoman]

can u actually make noise with it without plucking the strings?

[1metalnation]

@eroginoman yes, its called tapping it was first widely used by Eddie Van Halen, and it has evolved from 2 or 3 fingers to apparently 10

[jdownz123]

definition of badass

[tazzarman]

Whoooooooo wow amazing,ps are you human,just asking as that was out of this world friend,very happy to sub you,fab

[r0binl44n]

A guitar? no way! that's a portable piano right??

[horlacsd]

what what an amazing style for the rag

[CommBreakDown]

i tried to learn this song and after hearing this. i realized i needed another guitar neck......

[WildGunman77]

that's awesome. Wacky-looking guitar

[bunke101]

I know I'm not the only one saying this, but who in the hell could dislike this!

[PussyHunterable]

Если волосы сбрить, получится Гоша Куценко.

[rockykerenbanget]

Your Guitar Sound can Kill Justin Bieber

[Emceetem]

Fuck the piano... Now i can play anything if i had this.

:P

[MogliBrudda]

I know a guy who looks just like this!

[louswire]

And to think... he's doing with eight fingers, what most pianists need ten to do.

[ibelcob]

holy fuck, noce job



[FeNsTa]

respect.....

[LermyteJos]

really GREAT!!! I didn't know this was possible on that instrument. 5 stars.

[FsharpAsharpInfinity]

have you ever strummed a guitar in your life?

[PeezyProductions1985]

its cool how far this guy has pushed himself, but i dont know man, it seems like with this style you may as well be playing a piano

[louswire]

@PeezyProductions1985 think about it though... he's doing with 8 fingers, what a piano player does with all 10.

[fretstringer222]

Maple leaf rag? Title sounds putrid but, dang man you are shredding!

[lenabeamish87]

How anyone can dislike this is beyond me.

[Hoopermazing]

Nice, but there is nothing unique about this. A lot of guitarist who were originally piano players play like this. They've been playing two different things with their left and right hands since they were toddlers.

[robihandrix]

@Hoopermazing you are a moron. playing a piano, and then doing this on a guitar is not something that is easy. show me someone else in the world that does this like him

[fingerpickerguy]

@robihandrix

Stanley Jordan plays like this.

[510shredder]

@Hoopermazing lets see u do it if its so easy

[Slipsnob]

That guitar . . . it's so funny. XD I bet when it was made, it was all thinking, "OH SHIT I'M AWESOME and have TWO sets of string thingies, I'm gonna be the epitome of HARDCOREEEEEE!" and then Adam Fulara came along.

[arsenal245]

Nice one - good to see something unique

[ohaxolotl]

amazing bro

[KABRIS1]

I don't care what color the room is.

[rrrrockin]

talent bro ,,,,wo ya 

[grey1hat1br]

i belive it's much harder than play it in the piano :D

[infectedvector]

It seems to me that this is the ONLY way to play this particular guitar because the necks are so close together. He couldn't play either in the traditional fashion. Is this guitar custom built or is this a special type of guitar for this type of use?

[Zeegoner]

AMAZING but one thing: CUT YOUR HAIR GODDAMMIT XD

[jdubose12]

mister badass

[fallingchocolate]

poor face, great skill...

XD

[voodootabby]

@BlueSabb hahaha, ok ya i agree x)

[kingovviking]

Perfect playing of this on the guitar but one minor suggestion,

Spell Maple Leaf Rag right in the title please

[CirclesAreSquares]

@kingovviking loser :P

[louswire]

Playing ragtime on a piano is hard enough, but doing it without using is your thumbs? This is brilliant!

[johnalt16]

Perfect video

[MaghoxFr]

Perfect room for chroma!

[ColonelHerro]

DO YOUR FINGERS HAVE BICEPS???

[koifnen]

@ColonelHerro LOL!!!

[pwells01]

I love it! I play it on the piano myself, but what you did with it on the guitar was awesome!

[tunglour]

Holy shit man that was crazy

I doubt I could do that in a piano yet :\

[Pivaxi]

Maybe thats his relaxed face. Nice playing man :)

[fac3less619]

one word: SICCCKKKK!!!!

[JoeSnakes]

Chickenfinger 90 is a bell end!

[w9j15g]

Party on, Adam! Wonderful!

[tobiasaurusrex]

This was the punk rock of the day, with critics saying there's no musicality to it. Go figure.

[nadir933]

it sounds just like a piano :D

[chickenfinger90]

very great playing, but your performance was not so good. I can see that you enjoy playing this stuff, but you do not express those ''emotions'' - it looks like robocop is playing this. my advice is to get a little more feel in your playing and be more relaxed. anyway, you have a really good technique which is very impressive

[GarretsShadow]

@chickenfinger90 you dont have to pull faces to express emotions

[pyrodude8]

@chickenfinger90 Theres always some faggot ready to talk crap about people with amazing technical prowess lacking emotion. What do you want him to do a big bend and act like he's climaxing or something? This is not blues and he is a touch style player. I'd love to see anyone look relaxed playing this crap. Why are people so impressed with people who close their eyes and pretend to be in some sort of pain from playing their instrumnet?

[dayiiv]

@pyrodude8 i agree. some of the most emotive players in the world just sit and do it letting the music speak for its self rather than pulling rockstar poses.

plus can anybody give me a list of the appropriate emotional response to this song? cos i dont have a clue what to expect. if he looked like he was playing parisienne waterways while doing this it would just be creepy.

[GuittaraNovice]

Guys so skilled like Adam at such a difficult instrument are so rare, and we can only be gratefull that through youtube we can watch them. I played guitar for about two years and knowing how hard is to get acustomed with one neck, i can fully appreciate how extremely difficult is to play at two necks; and to play at such a level like Adam? It takes ALOT of talent and ALOT of hard work. I just cant understand people who voted negative for such a player and interpretation.

[mp2611]

@pyrodude8 true dat

[GuitarPlayerHV16]

@pyrodude8 okay well we doo the whole look of pain cuz were expressing how sweet a note is being played, but i do agree that people criticize things like this.

[vivvpprof]

@pyrodude8 Emotions is what should be present in a human's performance and what is absent in a pianola performance. Emotions is what constitutes music. If you're happy with pianola rolls or performances by humans that are just as mechanical and soulless - it's OK but don't condemn people who aren't.

[Traeske]

@pyrodude8 Most people have feelings. Some people think they are too cool to show them. Some people can't help but show them.

[sickeningore]

@pyrodude8 That's funny, because in some of his earlier videos he did a lot of facial expressions from doing this hard technique, and people ridiculed him for it. Afterwards he started controlling that much better, and people rag on him for looking emotionless. Haters gonna hate.

[TimGuitarTaylor]

Excellent two handed tapping here...My compliments!

[camdaman80]

duuuuude that is a very skilled thing to be able to do, the fact that you looked at me while playing just made me feel like you dont want me watching as i am unworthy of your awesome :O

[kkiilljjooy]

Excuse me, I'm going to burn my guitars now. ;P

Great playing!

[xharmen]

Sounds like bioscoop music in the seventy's ;]
