Wow such talent going to good use, clearly. Imagine practicing something for years on end so you can douche it up on a chat roulette site

He must be making good money on youtube. He's got millions of subs. He's probably also in a band or works as a studio musician too. Good studio musicians are in high demand, though I don't know how lucrative that is without writing credits on songs.

probably not guitarists. I've met some drummers who take work as studio musicians and their schedules aren't exactly fully booked... then consider there's 10x more guitarists than drummers

He was born a generation or two too late. SRS. If he had grown up in the 60's-80's he would have been another Axle Rose/Slash/EddieVanHalen/VanZant/ect. Fuk youtube and Omegal, he'd be tearing it up on MTV (back when it was GOAT) with groupie sloots lined up for his hotel room, Pepsi flowing....

I play guitar. Unimpressed. From what I know great-guitarists (of which I'm not) are a dime a dozen. Musicians on the other hand....

What impresses you? Do you sweep pick?

I do agree that sweep picking is kind’ve a gimmick after you’ve learned it but it still takes time. He’s definitely a musician though, he was playing the keyboard also and looping it in. His chops are really clean.

Yea great guitarist are a dime a dozen though. Maybe not so much with the younger generation now.

Eh? A kid tapping a guitar? Not impressed. Your run of the mill asian 10 year old playing Beethoven sonatas on piano put 10x more hours into their instrument than this kid. t. musician

Complexity & simplicity. The ability to write an orchestral work/soundtrack. The ability to write a good pop-song. The ability to innovate on guitar playing. The ability to just distinguish oneself ...if you hear someone and can pick out his guitar playing by tone or style ...thats impressive.

someone i recently discovered whom i only knew as a music-book author (chord chemistry) is this dead guy...ted greene. buts theres many like SRV EVH JM.


merry christmas btw.

No proof. Didn't know TheDooo's real identity was a big mystery. I read some comments saying it was him. I had no reason to think they could be incorrect. The kid in the video and TheDooo are both named Eric though. That's all I could confirm via google.

Is that the guy who gets guitar lessons only to show up the teacher after playing coy a bit? "YOU MEAN LIKE THIS?" (Shreds lick)
Ya that guy is annoying, what a ****gy waste of guitar chops. Just to be a little prick to teachers.

David504 is funny though. Slap bass

Fuking LOL, aitte random internet guy. Sucks that a widely popular internet musician doesn't impress you. I don't know chit about music and even I know this guy. Surely he must have some kinda talent for that to happen but I'm sure he's nowhere near your caliber

I usually keep this private, but I am actually Eddie Van Halen. I never died but so tired of random people asking me to "tap something out for me" that i faked my death.
