  • The piece is called "Chameleon" not "The Chameleon". How can you confuse it like that?

  • @MarcBeckK You're right. I'm wrong.

  • If a person hopes to keep my attention by beat boxing for 3.5 minutes than it better be really, REALLY good. Adam, dude. That was amazing in every way imaginable! I totally dig this, such tight rhythm and insane groove. If that was any groovier I'd fall into your video. So bad ass! How do you recommend a person practices this kind of thing?

  • @121jigawatts Oh man, just dive in. Imagination is the most important thing...then repetition!!!!

  • It seems you are not using a mic for your voice, but it seems clear that you are passing through a reverb! How do you amplify your beatboxing? And what system do you prefer to amplify your guitars?

  • @alessandroforlin87 This was all with one mic. LIve, I use a vocal mic and a guitar DI...thanks!

  • I haven't commented on a video in years, but this is absolutely sick. Great piece, great musicality, great guitar! Two lines is always impressive, but the beat boxing puts it over the top. BTW, I've seen comments comparing this guy to the little kid playing Billie Jean - it's absolutely no contest - this guy is a real musician, the kid is talented, but it's obvious he just memorized a bunch of fingerings without a true musical understanding of what he's playing.
