  • @3dwurli ive uploaded finger breaker

  • hes so good hes actually watching himself play if you look at the chap in the blue jumper

  • i have uploaded the audio for finger breaker if anyone is interested, i cant seem to find it on here anymore for some reason

  • I only clicked because of the title.

  • One person went to a strange place where the railway tracks were painted to resemble piano keys. That person was practicing the fingerbuster on the tracks, not hearing the approaching train, as he was focused on hearing the tune in his head. Very soon, the train collided with his fingers, and now only his thumbs are left.

  • Shame the Fingerbreaker and Kitten on the Keys videos were taken off!

  • does anyone have the sheet music?

  • 1 person broke their finger pressing the dislike button.

  • Quite possibly the fastest and cleanest version in Youtube.

  • Please tell me I'm not the only one looking at the title going... "It just makes sense"
