Justin King- Squaredance

[KATUYA44]

ギター辞める（−＿−；）

[88Hamuel]

He doesn't really play the guitar so much as he bends it over a table and makes it his bitch.

[DocHoliday001]

Anyone know what strings would be best for this style? I'm using elixir lights right now on my taylor, but the sound is really thin, which I guess is expected. Would a medium or heavy gauge elixir be better for slapping/tapping guitar?

[MrGetalife23]

Me before watching this: -_-

ME after watching this: O.O

[Boonuts12]

I think i just had an ear-gasam

[CitizenKate]

More like, HOEDOWN! YEE-HAW!

[BubbleWild]

Wow... Playing like that for 3 minutes straight HAS to be tough!

[nulebon]

Don't want to piss on your parade ArkAngelHFB but before you have a go at ANYONE about thinking before typing maybe you should learn to spell before typing.

[wdchrismon]

Exceptional.  His energy is amazing.

[Tessa382]

I'm sorry!! but see his face hahahahahaha=^0^=

and 2 near hand make it look fool..

and than too consentration make a bad perfrom right?! (( see his face))

oh come on! see the cam!

ok his so pro.. but see Miyavi perform, Miyavi's far above justin in pv or on perfrom..

right^^~?

[psx1337]

jap racist bastard

[sakuraikeitaro]

may be youre too stupid to understand...

死ね

[MrGetalife23]

@Tessa382 one thing.... YOUR GAY GO AWAY YOU'D PROBLY MAKE THE EXACT SAME FACE IF YOU WERE PLAYING THAT

[Tessa382]

@MrGetalife23 I'm positivelly a girl so you cant judge me gay at all. and no. with his skill at least he can only put an expression on his face and if you deny that, it's means you dont belive he can do that. and everyone have their own taste in music, maybe you fell for him but you cant put any junk comment and say people gay or dump, you dont even know me!

[Baaltringue]

@Tessa382

Miyavi... LOL ! Another japanese "musician"/"band" who could only steal stuff from somewhere else (like... Justin King) and make it soulless. Imho you should listen to music with your ears, not with your eyes... Music is not about the looks, man.

[SuperchargedSSCamaro]

HECK YEAH!!! THAT'S HOW ITS DONE!!!!! What kind of a guitar is that? I think its an Ibanez... anybody know?

[whitespaniards]

ibanez???? are you serious? taylor 714ce

[ichalz]

What's awesome is, if he screws up, no one will ever know.

[Adastra14]

hope you said that in a good light ichalz.

[Jenisonc]

Hes like a big snake on stage. he rocks back and forth.

[ArkAngelHFB]

you sir... are a shit head... amoung other things...

You do play... and you don't think before typing. You have nither he talent to do something like this, nore the common decency to look to the right and see that he has too highly successful mainstream song.

Since yuo type before thinking and can not put together a good agument for what you type... that makes you the faggot, not Justin.

and to echo dehco83... can you do better?

[dehco83]

can u make it better?

[KamuiTa]

Good lord this guy is amazing. I agree with the others who said it, the audience should've been quieter, although they may have been amplified from the recording device being placed near the back of the room or something.

[gregg441]

You know, being a pompous asshole won't get your point across any clearer. The man apologized, and you didn't let it go. Grow up.

[DouggMacKenzie]

Butt out, asswipe.

[DragoonOfWatch]

I thought, ?anking in public is not allowed ^

[Zackinthebx88]

In that case, My apologies. However, I am not the only one to have taken it that way. Suppose it was cause your comment had nothing to say about King. Plus I don't need to reread THEN listen because all it took was for you to REVISE and REFINE your comment. Maybe now you won't receive negative marks on your comment.

[TONYHOMOISSTILL4FAGS]

Your apology is accepted. But, ya know, I re-read my post several times and I simply fail to understand how it could be misinterpreted.

In any event, please understand I admire Justin King's work. And I detest audiences that treat genuine art like aural wallpaper: Something to provide noise to augment their babbling. Kapeesh?

Communication is, at the best of times difficult, and even more so in forums such as this.

Take care.....and keep listening.

[Zackinthebx88]

Excellent point. I mean, because now we all no what to think because you gave us an example of "special" talent or gift. Oh thats right, you didn't. Problem is, I'm never drunk, a moron, nor stupid. Perhaps you should define special for me. Listen to his recording; not this live audio.

Criticism derived from jealousy.

Were you in a band that "should have been" but, never made it? Not your psychiatrist, don't care; get over yourself.

[ShogunAssassin777]

the audience are way too loud they should silent

[whitespaniards]

okay i am dying to learn this so if anybody knows of any place i can get the tab PLEASE let me know!! i havent had any luck so far

[Vaughanabe13]

check out my cover, I can teach you, just send me a message. The song isn't that hard

[sixstringhero20]

your kidding right.....i mean.......gah can you hear all those notes!!

[Vaughanabe13]

It's not about the notes, it's about the patterns, and when you can see those it's just a matter of practice. Justin is an amazing guitar player and his music is flashy but the stuff he plays is definitely reachable by us.

[sixstringhero20]

well than sign me up for lessons lol

[ghexpert2]

Damn

[ty2242]

cool

[arturq13]

you're saying that 'cause you cant't play as good as Justin King:)Moron

[Vaughanabe13]

This is my absolute favorite video of JK, mostly because of the powerful, bassy, FAT tone he gets out of that 714-CE. I have spent years and thousands of dollars trying to come close to that tone.

[pithor]

Great performance!

Too bad about the talking audience in the background.

[tie77]

wow he's right amazing, he's almost making an acoustic sound like a delay at party, i am very impressed

[UhLisUh29]

omg... wow this guy is sooo... amazing!!! haha i wish that i could play that well!!!

=]]

[assassine47]

he is too good man.............

[bf42master]

haha i agree with pyromaniac37976

[gurdarshker]

man i wish i was good at something

[gurdarshker]

god damn hes good

[Pyromaniac37976]

Justin King must get lots of pussy.

[chaoticfables]

lol

[xis333]

back to the practice shed :/

[Whichroot]

Sweet Jesus, can he play... but that has to be the crummiest excuse for music I've heard in years!

[3dbeend]

hey im not like trying to be one of those jerk that r like 'fuck u hes awesome' but like i love music and stuff and im in a band and im just wondering y u say thats crummy music

[3dbeend]

hey im not like trying to be one of those jerk that r like 'fuck u hes awesome' but like i love music and stuff and im in a band and im just wondering y u say thats crummy music

[sackbut80]

You must not listen to the radio or watch tv or go to bars for that matter... You can hear music far worse than that at any given moment at any time... its amazing and melodic and percussive...

[pitons1314]

new yorkers are always talking... how freakin rude!

[myguitarstyle]

i have a taylor 615ce and yes, its pretty hard to get it out of tune unless you have on old strings. :-)

[Ahlm4]

No it doesnt go out of tune that bad, I've played this on several guitars and it doesnt, and obviously not with his strings.

[Vaughanabe13]

True, the tuning isn't really an issue on most guitars. However, Taylor guitars are extraordinary for staying in tune as I have come to notice.

[DrDread]

Lucky bastard :P

[guitarmarama]

his guitar must have an IMMENSE ability to stay in tune to do that, if I tried that on my Takamine I swear it would go out by the end of the song!!!

[Laronin]

Haha i can do that 2 hehe

[e2mily]

yeah, i definately saw them last night.. absolutely amazing

[youneverno41]

what an innovative guitarist

[cptspoofy]

OMG HES PLAYING MY GUITAR!

Best investment I've ever made. Taylor 510ce

[Vaughanabe13]

Actually it's a jumbo body Taylor 714CE, but yes, the Taylor's are AMAZING guitars.

[ctogami]

Breakdancing of the musical world..

[Hydramus89]

It just makes me think of the irish, lol :D (well celtics really). This song is difficult to play and kudos to him playing it, but it's not my favourite JK song, he can do a lot better trust me ;) His Le Bleu album is great :D

[meltdown5]

is that a 700 series taylor? how the hell does he get the guitar to sound so good without a mic... just the pickups.. how!

[Vaughanabe13]

Simply amazing as usual. This is probably the best Celtic Square Dance vid on youtube now. I've said it before and I'll say it again...I WANT THAT GUITAR. hahaha

[Takykatt8]

so good! sweet clean tone.

I want to be like him....

[Matttolstoy]

I always love how great Justin's live acoustic sound is. So rich and so clean.

[myguitarstyle]

you can accredit that to the fact that he uses Taylors! gotta love em', great live instruments!

[stevethepilot]

Well... thats cool, takes a lot of talent, deticatoin and pratice... but it just doesn't have a good melody to it.

[TimOrmeEsq]

agreed

[Matttolstoy]

I know a lot of classic songs that don't have a "good" (whatever that means) melody to them. I think of melody as an ingredient of music; not really more or less important that the other pieces. Just is along with the whole.

[TheFlipE]

it's different with him because he's solo, but if like a heavy rock band or rap didn't have melody, than it would just be noise...

[Zackinthebx88]

his right is the melody and his left is the harmonics.

[slimjimster]

can i dig it? yes, yes i can.
