Steven King - Beatles Medley

[Drewster58]

This guy is great. I'm amazed that he can pull off everything he does, because his picking hand looks too basic or simple somehow, but his fretting hand is jazz chord perfect. He's a puzzle and I need to hear more. His quick Beatles medley is fast, fun, and hip as an old Rickenbacher Beatles viola bass.

[mjknlr]

last word of the video:

"Good."

True story.

[MegaTwilightlover21]

[centralscoolfool]

wonderous

[HEREclickPlease]

Amazing

[pissballs]

Hes got a hold of the melody lines! Some impressive playing for sure. A nice switch from the straight strumming style or the alternate picking that alot of players might approach the melody structure with. Excellent.

[blueguitar420]

god i have found thee lol

[skillcapes5]

what's the one starting at 3:58??

[nerdz410]

You Can't Do That, i think thats song the Beatles coverd not wrote tho

[mcmurph9]

No, it is an original Lennon composition. On the record, he even plays the lead guitar part. Cheers.

[guilhermeggomes]

3:58 --> You Can't Do That

[GBPaddling]

[modtrtr]

It's called... You Can't Do That.

[gapthfc]

Oh yeah, thanks a lot

[fridrikur]

Great playing. But far too much treble on the guitar. The guitar sounds thin.

[MoreAtTheDoor]

The sound quality was much better live and in person. Mr. Steven King's guitar was nicely amplified and properly EQ'd .... I just happened to be there with a cheap digital video camera.

Please don't blame Steven King for any inadequacy in recording quality , it was an honor and privilege to watch this great player on stage just a few feet distance.

[fridrikur]

Ok I won't blame him. I trust you. Thanks for clarifying. He is a truly gifted player. I am sure his guitar sounds great irl. It is hard to capture the true sound of the guitar on a camcorder mic. I understand :)

[joobfa796]

I'm sure this sounded great live, but I do think fridrikur is right in that it sounds slightly thin. I believe he uses extra light strings, and sometimes he plucks above the sound hole, which also isn't helping the sound. That said, however, he is an amazing player and I would love to see him live some day

[magocacana]

@fridrikur I agree

the sound is really bad

[TAPlastic]

@fridrikur Why look for a neg while watching this great player jealousy?

[fridrikur]

@TAPlastic No I was not being jealous. Just being honest. I love his guitar skills, but I still think the sound was very thin. He is an excellent player do not get me wrong. The sound is important too. Just listen to the sound of Chet Atkins recordings and those of Thom Bresh and Doyle Dykes. They do not just play good but the sound of their instruments also sounds excellent. Since I did not this great player I do not know if this poor sound is due to the recording or the actual guitar.

[fridrikur]

@TAPlastic No I was just criticising this actual video. I have no negative words about Steven Kings. Have a nice day

[TAPlastic]

@fridrikur Ok but excuse me if I think you should be thanking the guy for the opportunity to see this little private gem, which video of your shall we watch to see the perfect upload in tone and virtuosity??

[Arminhothebest]

stolen from the great master TE

shame on u

[TheDoubleMan]

Far superior to Tommy Emmanuel's medley. + 1 good sir

[Allen58mi]

I've always liked the beatles but you have given me a new appreciation for the truely great melodies they created. You are a wonderful musician.

[vargasguitar]

Es increíble y sobre toda la naturalidad con que lo hace, como si fuera fácil y eso lo engrandece.

De lo mejor que he podido ver y no me gusta hacer juiciod de valor pero esto es THE BEST

[fingerstalking]

This Steven King is really It. I like The Stand he's using for his mic, and he can really Carrie a tune on that guitar; not a hint of Desperation.

[gnortznitz]

Freaking awesome.

[mightybright1]

This guy has work for years to come!

Amazing...........

[lany3rene]

Cette vidéo est un piège pour vous arnaquer

[kdlkg]

WTF...

[TheBeatlesRevolution]

he is very good

[Saultyness]

Great work! Love the instrumental! Love it!!!

By the way.. NICE GUITAR!!! 914ce

[Captivate888]

Are you sure that's not a 912ce? Kind of looks a bit small for a 914ce.

[PaulScullyPower]

He's just fat

[mcmurph9]

It's a X14ce. It can be hard to tell sometimes, but I've got a X12ce, and this is a 14 body.

Regards

[boomzuun]

Great arrangements. I really like his Carol of the Bells also, but for this style of guitar, I find Scotty Anderson is a much cleaner player.

[meowmix1012]

Steven King the author of horror novels??? Play some of the music from the "Christine" soundtrack!!!!

[Lumeveraja]

I don't think he's the same person. :D

[meowmix1012]

Yeah, I was just joking!!!

[martinaxman]

Impressive! I'd love to be able to play multiple melody lines and bass like you do. Lucy In the Skies was amazing.

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

Awesome(my standard comment).

[bigchee]

this is fantastic on so many levels it's scary. i'm selling all my guitars and becoming a kazoo player.

[bowiecake]

Cheers, It is great man! keep going!

[orgasmosis]

great. i really liked i am the walrus.

[MusicEd1]

That was terrific Mr. King! What an incredible feat! I'll tell ya, the acoustic guitar can be a rough animal to tame physically speaking, let alone playing one complicated piece after another. You must have the hands of Hercules!

Great job. I love the intricasies of your pieces. This is what I love about fingerstyle guitar. I can't imagine pulling off pieces like these, any other way.

I will most deffinately be studying your arrangements and picking your brain. Great job. Peace.

[dayn33]

amazazing

[DCLugi]

I'm sure you've had a bit of practice but surely the guitar came out with you in the delivery room. Fantasic.

[WIPMG]

Oh, Yeah! Excellent!
