Antoine Dufour - In My Own Rhythms - Acoustic Guitar

[weroidiota]

T AMO CONCHETUMAREEEE <3 

[AituBan]

I have no words... Amazing...

[Drei7717]

Tuning is ASSBAD

[kellenjmulhern]

i wish i was good at ANYTHING

[DanielFerrazoli]

@kellenjmulhern I know your pain.

[FelixSumsItUp]

When Antoine is not playing guitar he is playing guitar hero expert on hyper speed 5 times 20

[ScifiGuitarguy]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 etc... Damn, this song is in Infinite/4....

[010010ryan]

@JacoTheSkunk i grow my nails out on my right hand lol

do you know what its like to be a 16 yr old guy in highschool with girl nails on one hand haha

[DrBromiAndufEwd]

@010010ryan Yes...actually I do. :-P Trying being a 27 year old that works at a lumber company with acrylic nails on one hand!

[010010ryan]

@DrBromiAndufEwd lol i feel ya!

[EpicDJTime]

@JacoTheSkunk I do it. I only get asked alot if i know where to get coke (jokingly i hope lol).

[CaPsLoCkWuT]

Do you wear a sweat band on your wrist while you play guitar? No. That's because you're not Antoine Dufour.

[MissNimmieAmee]

@CaPsLoCkWuT Not to be a nitpicker, but it's not a sweatband, it's a wrist brace. sGood for support :)

[DrBromiAndufEwd]

@MissNimmieAmee you're close...its actually to hide the scar from when they attached his robotic hand....

[CognitiveRealist]

@CaPsLoCkWuT It's probably to keep his tenons warm - prevents fatigue.

I wear one too. Helps a LOT. =D

[fossegrim91]

@JacoTheSkunk it's worth it.. despite always having to explain 'why' u wear them. - "uuuh that looks soo gay!" i don't give a shit :D

[swamptick2]

I wonder if growing out my thumb nail on my picking hand would be benefitial to my guitar playing skills...

[9pumpkin]

@swamptick2 there acrylic nails, and they do help a lot!

[wirito]

30 people prefer his old, traditional red bandana.

[killxthexsmile]

@JacoTheSkunk it would feel amazing, considering you would feel like a guitarist :) so it wouldnt be a hassle after you make your guitar sing like a fucking bird for hours on in every day :)

[tntornadojpm]

@JacoTheSkunk they are fake nails he puts on when he plays

[killxthexsmile]

@tntornadojpm they are fake nails he wears all the time, actually, you cant just throw a set of acrylic nails on and then take them off, they last for about a month at a time :)

[warwyck107]

i hope that guitar was 18



[Madland4932]

One thing I've really taken from Antoine is really getting to know my guitar better. There are so many other sounds you can get out of it than just playing notes on the fretboard. Haha I spent a long time just smacking it to see what kind of percussive sounds I could get out of it. I don't think I'll ever get tired of listening to this music or trying to play it. It's so great (and unfortunately not as big as it should be)!

[broscol]

muy buena musica, excelente guitarrista

[sumblock]

thank you

[xxdarkmovexx]

its amazing how incredible can be with a guitar and no voice

[daved914]

amaaazing

[Extrememarksman]

What kind of guitar is that?

[comeonthenfightme]

uploaded on my bday oh antione u didnt have to ryt it for me lol

[YanosAldrin]

I think florentine cutaways are boss.

[nefarioustrumpet]

HOW

[jurv10]

I don't mean to sound hippie about this but seriously Antoine is bringing positive vibes on all his songs. I can't listen to a single one without it bringing a smile to face or a tear to my eye. Just absolutely amazing and inspiring music and it has helped me through a lot. Thank you Antoine you are a talented guitarist and keep expressing that passion you have for music because you are certainly one of the greatest guitarists that has ever lived.

[PatrickJLubon]

I saw him play recently with andy mckee... A full 3 hours of nonstop instrumental music. Amazing,

[UNDOSTREIS]

@jurv10 dido...

[MultiSteini]

@jurv10 I agree that he is one of the greatest guitarist that has ever lived, but without being a dick, i dont know if i have another state of being but i dont get a tear to my eye, but on the other hand i do get passion of well being and inspiration on my writing on guitar.... i love this music :D

[CognitiveRealist]

@jurv10 NOTHING WRONG with sounding like a hippie. Regardless of whether you are or not, I completely agree! =D

[spinlak]

guitar looks like a cross between steel string and classical, no?

[DrBromiAndufEwd]

@spinlak The reason it looks like a mix between steel string and classical is because its not a dreadnought body style, like a lot of steel stringed acoustics are. Its probably an OM body style or something like that, which is more similar to the sizing of a classical nylon stringed guitar.

Lots of people use different body styles for steel stringed guitars, you just dont see a lot of them on youtube :-)

[tessinetly]

@spinlak It's actually a Grand Auditorium body with a Florentine cutaway.

[foxtrotalex]

@tessinetly This is a Mario Beauregard Custom Orchestral Model actually.

[killxthexsmile]

@foxtrotalex that makes it sound nice, but what you meant to say was, This is a Mario Beauregard Custom OM, witch is the product of one of (if not the) first of Ervin Somogyi's apprentices! This guitar is like the closest to a 30,000 dollar (minimum) Somogyi you could get! GET EXCITED!! :D

[arnoise]

le top / y a pas d'aut' mot !! bravo

[DreamingOfJupiter]

who are the 29 retards who dislike this? this is pure beauty in musical form

[LEGENDOFMAXX]

Advertisements!?!?!?!? We don't need no stinking advertisements!

[BORATPWNU]

@LEGENDOFMAXX if we didn't have em, youtube would not be free. so shut the fuck up and wait another 15 or 30 seconds you child.

[LEGENDOFMAXX]

@BORATPWNU ... Alright, relax, i was simply making a reference. No need to get offended. I fully understand how necessary advertisements are.

[anassbreaker]

you'r  the bessssttttt

[wall1506]

Amazing... Can you tell me how use tunning...??

[Paulcanplayguitar]

that sound around 2:47 is sooo awesome

[oliverandm]

@Paulcanplayguitar

Absolutely great use of harmonics yeah!

[scottus1955]

wow



[LEGENDOFMAXX]

If I could pick one song to play for the rest of my life and nothing else, this would be it. Hands down.

[beninatorskater]

I wish I was a speck of dust inside his guitar.

[killxthexsmile]

@beninatorskater psh, what dust? :)

[leomeister123]

man the way he does the bass and the rythm at the same time im gonna learn how to do that yet XD just whait ^_^

[soidkd]

FAAANTAAASTIC! thank You!

[CWCandMRSAFETYRULES]

i cant comprehend how awesome this is

my mind, it cant keep up..

[H3LPMETAL1]

I listen to death metal and I still think this is the best acoustic song there is! Amazing!

[mehrabbintarek]

@H3LPMETAL1

same here man! this music is weirdly calming..

[Iaccept234]

What's With the Handkerchief?

[Lemmonpuddin]

@Iaccept234 to reduce resonance 

[iMensah81]

@Lemmonpuddin @laccept234 partly correct. It's to reduce extraneous noise from coming from the strings between the nut and the pegs. he's doing a lot of hammering in this piece with his left hand. This can cause the strings to vibrate between the nut and the peg, causing extra notes to sound.  The handkerchief dampens the strings so that they don't vibrate due to a hammer-on or pull-off.

[higofyp]

I bet if he fingered a girl (Or even a guy) he could make them sound like a beautiful instrument, too.

[alexnagel81]

@higofyp hahahaa, exactly.

[EGMvideo]

Beautiful  harmony and rithm. Wonderful technics and show!!!

I loved this song.

[Norminatify]

This piece of music is beautiful beyond explanation.

[Muso9419]

his use of harmonics is amazing!

[JoeFoxMusic]

only Antoine Dufour needs a wrist support when playing guitar

[mickey5241]

2:38 is the most enjoyable part... but the whole song is great!

[ConcretePie]

i love this so much.

[mdtguit35]

HI I-M ITALIAN VERY GOOD!!!

DO U USE AN OPEN CHORD?

[Raquaable]

He's most likely self taught, and if he did take lessons, he only built a basic structural foundation for technique, because this guy...gah...

Explanation: He's Canadian.

[fredhelp2]

@Raquaable actually antoine dufour went to college for classical guitar, there one of his teachers introduced him to Don Ross' music... and the rest is history

[DrBromiAndufEwd]

I just figured it out...Don Ross must have written Robot Monster about Antoine...it really is the only explanation....maybe antoine is some sort of crazy human-robot hybrid...

[crasha69]

I am the 2000th Like :D



[hintasglobal]

@crasha69 I am the 2001th Like :P haha

[jerson136]

there are 2 guitars playing, because i hear a melody that not coming from his guitar

[Guitarded1505]

@jerson136 Listen again and watch his fingers. He's just that good.

[McBoothie94]

@jerson136 its called polyrythm buddy

[DrBromiAndufEwd]

@jerson136 wrong...try again.

[Creationstepper2007]

@jerson136 you´r kidding right? A second guitar... it´s antoine man - nothing more to say!

[shizueleven]

@jerson136 It's called Stereo Micking, silly boy. :D

[boogahed]

@jerson136 1st finger double pull-offs on the E and A

[nason232004]

i love seeing this kind of acoustic talent... this blows me away... so inspiring..

[filename84]

I don´t know why but this guy playing reminds me of aphex twin

[mehrabbintarek]

Listening to this makes me wanna learn how to play the guitar, keep it up bro. You're a positive influence on everyone. :)

[xcjvfilms]

Anyone els notice his really long thump nail NASTY !

[WatashiWaMono]

@xcjvfilms He has acrylic nails to strum. He takes his guitar playing to another level :D

[skkiittllezz]

i have to admit that i didnt find out about this guy until andy mckee liked These Moments, but dammit thank you andy for getting me hooked to this guy i love his music

[TipikulBob]

If I were a guitar, I would LOVE him to finger me!

IF I WERE A GUITAR. Just saying.

[iamthegreatest2006]

@TipikulBob With those nails? :P

[lamxung5000]

@TipikulBob Some guitar's horny.

[sprinter1089]

@TipikulBob he's probably pretty good at the real thing I would imagine

[BigCanOfBeans]

There's more notes here than the top 40 songs on the radio.... from the past 8 years.

[mehtabb1]

Extremely clean playing, great work man.  Any chance you'll be uploading tabs?

[11pavement]

Brilliant. Must be nice to be able to slay a guitar like that. Beautiful work.

[VioletAnarchist]

Amazing, blows my mind every time.

[Vaekrix]

I wonder how this song, and for that matter many of Dufour's songs, would sound on an electric guitar.

[shadde94]

this music would be perfect as backround music in a desert area in a rpg. Imagine listening to this while questing.

[Franzwithfire]

His facial expression show deep satisfaction with the rhythm :)

[Raquaable]

I'm in need of medical assistance, as this music has caused my anus to rip. on account of the awesome.

[urilycon]

Wow! Outstanding playing! The rhythmic undertones are infectious.

[Krippler312]

whea, 0:42

[reifenrichter12]

26 people got no rhythm(s)

[arfabee2010]

@ joedrummer2010

Well said. You are one of the few who have given this amazing guitarist the credit he deserves. Thank you for raising this. Far too often on YouTube, contributors offer negative remarks or use the comments platform to air their own conceited ideas.

This is an amazing piece of music played with such competence

[acron93]

the endin is so orgasmic !!!1

[Shredsk8team]

2:48 was an interesting sound

[nomaxboi1205]

do you play on metal strigns ?

[joedrummer2010]

Douchebags and the comments they write recieve the highest votes.

How about calling attention to his beautiful use of harmonics? How about the multi-finger picking? How about the originality factor? Nevermind; you're all too concerned with mindless Chuck Norris jokes and 009 Sound System to appreciate this video. YouTube has become more adulterated than I thought........

[Adventuretk]

His acoustic sounds better than any acoustic I've ever picked up in any store ever.... Damn custom!!! HOW DO I GET THIS SOUND!??!?!

[foxtrotalex]

@Adventuretk The pickups he uses are a huge part of translating the sound of his Beauregard to recording. He Uses the K&K pickups Trinity System. It has a condensor microphone as well as transistor pickups under the bridge.

[EvilPanda187]

This is true artistic freedom.

[lOllAN4president]

0:54 jeeez!

[jackrabbit0289]

amazing song! Especially that hammer on part in the middle. Wat tuning is it in?

[Tuloisboss]

@jackrabbit0289

it's DAEF#C#D

[masicklazik]

Who made this guitar, I want to know who the Luthier is

Qui a fait cette guitare, Je veux savoir qui le luthier est

[DeHuMaNiZeD100]

@masicklazik It's a Mario Beauregard :)

[fatchickssuck9]

Look at how long his thumb nail on his picking/strumming hand is... So gross yet so necessary.

[milekd]

Can you insure wrists?

[tgerule]

@milekd ye j lo insured her ass, so I assume his wrist is more important 

[PFORourke]

he's got the biggest right thumb I've ever seen....and I've seen a lot of thumbs...:-)....and that be one nicely setup guitar......mine don't never stay in tune when I try this kind of stuff....

[joedrummer2010]

@PFORourke Are your machine heads loose? My Yamaha had bad machine heads, and I had the same issue! :(

[ernieball5000]

this kind of music is hard to find.

[VanHalenlvr2012]

@ernieball5000 Unless you go to the candyrat website. :P

[CarnifexKiller]

This is what i live for.. music such as this. it's simply amazing the beauty that this man is making with a piece of wood. fantastic sir i must say.

[Th3D4v1d]

Why do I have to come up with a top rated comment?

[Bruno6705]

he uses a amp.

but very good man. :)

[TruNikkaz]

im lmfao to the responses the Merc612 got

[Krumboltz]

if somebody says my guitar playing is like a mix with backing track, ill accept that as a compliment

[oubseegrad]

Amazing playing. Very nice job. No doubt that is a KK Sound microphone in that sound hole? Microphone looks like the one in my Guild D25M.

[altaridem]

@merc, what makes you think that he uses a backtrack on this? i can see every note that he is hitting all at once. sometimes alternate tunings can make it sound like there is more then one guitar. mos def no back track.

[fossegrim91]

wondering what how he feels like while playing such amazing stuff so perfectly and smoooth ~ must be incredible awsm, not? haha

[CClaudio21]

I love his music so much. And his guitar is a beautiful instrument at the least.

[Merc612]

there is a backing track. It doesn't make it any less awesome.

[MrFaulconbridge]

@Merc612 There is NO Backing track. THis style is called Fingerstyle where bass and melody is played with Thumb and Fingers.

Just like piano playing (except they use two hands).

The guitar really is an amazing instrument.

I know there is no backing track because I can play this myself. He has Tablature availible for people wishing to learn it

NO BACKING TRACK YOU UNDERSTAND?!?! you comprendeee boy?

[MrFaulconbridge]

@Merc612 NO backing track!!!!!!

[Jdcie]

@Merc612 A backtrack? It's one guitar! There's definitely no back track in this video haha

[Melokaliju]

HOLY GOSH ..... IM JUST AMAZINGLY FREAKED OUT BY THIS ^^ ...

[jd767982]

Antoine generally plays Stonebridge. Occasionally he'll break out a Larrivee.

[daihashi]

@jd767982 Actually he doesn't play the stonebridge anymore and I haven't seen him on a Larrivee. He currently plays on 2 different Beauregard's. Very sweet guitars.

[schoolyardboy1]

is he Christian guitarist? Many of his song titles could be biblical references, just curious if anyone knows.

[tasslebear82]

anyone know the tuning of this one?

[Strenux]

How do so many noises come out of one guitar at the same time? I'm trying to isolate the sounds with his picking, but they all meld together too smoothly. Damn him and his magic fingers.

[zoomass07]

@Strenux Understanding how all those noises come from the guitar makes it all the more impressive.

[ikeman1156]

@Strenux Answer: Too damn many to only have 260k views

[detnan]

@Strenux  ... U in LOVE??

[leomeister123]

@Strenux He is taping and doing fingerstile at the same time.. its hard but its great XD

[sommervilleTRS117]

@Strenux watch both hands and you'll see how the magic is made :O

[KonkreteXXX]

Damn, all of Antoines music sounds like it was written for THE ELDER SCROLLS:OBLIVION !!! xD

[jlmdot]

Great playing, what's the deal with the handkerchief though??? Is it there for something??

[handidrummed]

@jlmdot It mutes the slight overtone ringing that still exists after he mutes the strings themselves.

[mac25663]

Looks like a maths teacher. Guitars like a hero

[titlenewman]

in his rhythm that we can never ever get close to understanding...

[kurisumar]

Beautiful

[kurisumar]

Beautiful

[herramoo]

ahhh...! that´s all i need to say...

[bertsche22]

I bet girls would rather him finger them and not f**k em'

[rossmann61]

@bertsche22 maybe not with those fingernails ha

[Strenux]

As this song played for some reason a slow stupid grin spread across my face from the awesomeness. How does he do that?

[Musiciansfriend]

This is a great song. Thanks for sharing on our Facebook page!

[kGmusicpage]

he doesnt use stonebridge guitars anymore, hasnt for a while actually

[DJRedfield]

lol, tried to cancel it..... ROFL
