 Young man. There's no need to feel down. I said young man Get your stuff You sound just like a boomer Hey welcome back to our stupid direction today, it's up Corbin. I'm not a boomer you're basically boomer Yeah, follow us on Instagram, Twitter, for our juicy content. I think it was our Patreon, follow us to the cat ring the bell for us on the K Squad. BAM! My parents are the boomers. Thoughts on a personal YouTube channel, link's in the description below. Such a boob. You're a boob. Your mom's boob. What? My mom? Yeah. Your mom's so dumb. She studied for her blood test. Cool. Anyways. Today... What are we doing, right? Today we're going to be knitting a sweater. With our tongues. So this is called Joy to the World. The Lord has a... Shakti? Joy Shaqati? I think this is Joy and then Dash and then Shakti. Oh, Shakti. Yeah. Read this. A song called Joy by the band Shakti. Oh, I should have done it. I wanted so bad to do that too. Founded by virtuoso guitarist John McLaughlin. Yeah. And we know Zikir Hussein has worked with a lot. Yeah, and Zikir Hussein. Along with Viku, Vanilla Karam and Gattam, Carnatic Percussion. L. Shankar. Oh man, on violin. One of the most joyful blending of musical styles and expressions from four masters. Yeah. John McLaughlin is a legendary guitarist. I could probably be better than him. You sure can't talk better than him. I could play better than him. Here we go. I could play better than him. It's 1976. I mean, good. I've been able to sit in on something like this with Zikir Hussein. I've been in an atmosphere. He's done this with musicians. Picking it that fast. Yes. Never seen that in my life. Zikir Hussein. That's exactly what it reminded me of. Which was horse riding. Horse riding. That's exactly what that reminded me of. The level of shock. Obviously Zikir Hussein shocks me every single time I see him. That he can move his fingers that fast and make that. Such a beautiful sound, right? But it wasn't just him. It was all four of them. It was all four. I know it's not called a pot, but the guy that was playing the pot. Okay. It was insane. Have you ever beat on an instrument like that before? It looks like it. It works. It freaking kills. If you bang on it, within 60 seconds, your fingers start to ache. If you're hitting with the level of, you know, you're actually trying to hit it. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, it's years. It's thousands and thousands and thousands of hours of repetitive practice. I mean, I'd love to look at his hands. Oh, I'm sure because he's probably doing it since he was a child. So they're cows to the... Yeah. And knowing the different regions where you could hit to make the different sounds. Yeah. That guy was insane. That thing hurt. Okay. Any of you who play guitar, simply listen to this. Hold the pick. Try to go at the speed on one string that McLaughlin's on right there. Just try. And try to keep the pick in your hand and not break a string. And just stay on one of the six strings on your guitar. That's all he's doing is just going... But what he's doing is he's doing that. First of all, he's not... He never... He didn't break his pick. He didn't break a string. So that means he's not doing it too hard as he's doing it. And his wrist and forearms aren't cramping at that speed. So he's got it going on like that. But he's got six strings that he has to go in between when he's deciding he's going to make a different sound at different points on the neck. And I just can't even fathom picking one guitar string at that speed for that long, let alone doing what he just did. Same thing with the frickin violin player. Yeah, he was insane. Not one of the little tiny strings on the bow came off. You know, you've seen violin players and it comes off and it's hairy hanging all over the place. And how... I don't understand how... I'm assuming that was all improvised. Yes, but I think they were ragas. I think they knew the forms that were in. That's how they can tell and keep what that other person needs for their... They were in their patterns that they were coming. It doesn't make any sense how they're all going so fast. How can this person and this person's improvising be on the same thing as this person improvising? And what's astonishing is the level of musicianship is so high that they probably... I don't know how much they've reversed. They're just that skilled at what they do. And there's something about... There literally comes with that level of excellence in the music. There's like this ecstatic, can't breathe, sense of... And it doesn't really happen in any other thing except a sporting event. Like when you're in the final moments of the game. That's the exact level of... It's incredible. It's just incredible. Absolutely. Every single time, anything was obviously secure. But obviously when you have three other legends around them. That was insane. And I hope people... This video I could tell. Maybe it's just because of the title. People don't know that these other legends are in it. But it only has 400,000 views. And it's been up for five years? Yes. Yeah, no. Well, the fact that we can see this piece of history from 1970 something. It should have millions and millions and millions of views. It should. But that speaks to a larger reality that is a sad one. And it's the fact that things of innate beauty and hard work and transcendence are seldom appreciated by the populace. Because the populace has an intelligence quotient that has been brought down to a place. It wasn't always that way. It wasn't always that way. The appreciation for the finer things in life used to have a level of appreciation. Pat Methany, yeah. Apparently he said, this is a quote in the comments, Glockin has changed the evolution of the guitar at least three times. Yeah, he's... Why have I never heard his name in contention with the best guitars? I don't know because I've heard his name. You have. In circles of... Yeah, that's why I knew when I saw McLaughlin. Is it because he never played in a band? Yeah, because probably because McLaughlin didn't have commercial notoriety in the way of like a claptin. Yeah. Or a Hendrix. He never played like a band band, right? Well, I don't know his history. Yeah. All I know is in the echelons of the greatest guitar players of all time who weren't just good but contributed to transformation of guitar. So, especially in the realm of rock. It's McLaughlin. It's Hendrix. It's Stevie Ray Vaughan. Those are the immediate ones. Claptin. Claptin came in and changed things. Eddie Van Halen changed things. Yeah. There's three other guys. Yeah. There's a long list of them who changed what was done. But I know, like example, Caleb Quay is a friend who is himself a contributor to electric guitar in the world of rock. And McLaughlin would be somebody he'd instantly say, yes, absolutely McLaughlin's one of the greatest guitar players and contributors to the art form. Yeah, maybe it's just because he's never had commercial success. It's a commercial level, yeah. I'm sure like if you're a guitarist you know who Tom McLaughlin is. Yes. If you're like a purist and you know guitar. Well, I think a great example would be a lot of people, especially like in India, a lot of people I discovered didn't know who Daniel DeLewis was. They sure know who the rock is. They know who Tom Cruise is because those guys have the commercial success. But when you're talking about an absolute game changer in the art form because they didn't do commercially successful films. They did the artistically notorious films. They're just not as well known amongst everybody. Yeah. That was insane. Absolutely incredible. Just incredible. Yes, there's more of that. You know, send that our way. Yep. Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick. You're my little charder.
