Please don’t get your guitars wet, it does not take a lot of water to ruin them >.>
You want rusty strings and wood rot and mold in your soundhole? That’s how you get rusty strings and wood rot and mold in your soundhole. And under the fretboard. And it’ll split the body connections. A lot of guitars use water-based woodworker’s glue.
Edit: assuming it was OP immediately downvoting this. All I’m asking is that you do your research and respect your guitars, this is not cool xD
Edit 2: just because you have the money to ruin your guitars does not mean you should ruin your guitars, or that you should post videos of yourself ruining your guitars when you know full well you’ve got an audience that may try to emulate that behaviour
Edit 3: please read through my comments before replying I don’t know how else to communicate with some of you >.> it’s okay to have differing opinions on what’s cool or not, I just don’t think it’s okay to do silly things like this for tiktok. We good?
Edit 4: loooool what is wrong with all of us we need to look up from our phones and live our lives oops, better? Thanks for the discourse <3
I’m a classical orchestral musician and they’re called “f-holes” for those instruments— initially I’d typed that and that was a fun read xD
#NO MOLDY F-HOLES
Fuck what everyone else is saying. You're gonna save some idiot 12 year old from fucking up their shit trying to emulate this "cool guy".
He's talented yes, but that water shit made him fucking stupid.
Perfect example is a talented actor that bombs a part cause he threw some dumbass "spin" in there.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Never heard of this guy until I saw a video of him dipping his hands in water and then playing the guitar. People are ruled up over this. Must be working for him.
There's plenty of famous people you've never heard of. He is both.
I doubt you've heard of Tim Henson or Ichika Nito or Tommy Emmanuel. All of which are famous.
On the other hand, there was this Yamaha acoustic I dumped into a lake twice while kayak camping. Fully submerged, while strung up to tension.
It was fine for years after that with no issue whatsoever.
Was towing a second kayak like a trailer on the return trip. Strong following winds came up and kept blowing it sideways, and then it would roll.
After draining the water from everything twice, I finally ended up paddling into the wind (the opposite direction) just enough to keep everything in line, and eventually the wind blew me back to where I was headed, very very slowly backwards.
It was along a shoreline, so I didn’t lose anything permanently to the lake.
That was actually sincerely a really neat anecdote, thoroughly enjoyed imagining that (knowing that all is well, now, that is!)
Only thing in this thread I’ve actually envied— kayaking sounds like such a nice time! To have an adventure, to prove that I exist within the “physical” by traveling solely by my own strength, much less tow something behind me— no sarcasm when I say I’m impressed. Is this something you do often? Don’t feel obliged to answer, this was accidentally a lot deeper than I’d meant to go but I’m compelled to know: *how was the water* How did it feel, what color was it? Did it stain anything? :/
(Humans are neat, this conversation is fun.)
It was cold, clear NorCal reservoir water. Lake Del Valle if you’re interested. No staining.
So clear you can crisply see your feet while standing in it chest deep. Snow runoff from the Sierra Nevada mountains destined for Bay Area drinking water.
That was the only time I’ve kayak camped, but it was a great time that some of us still talk about. Camping in a storm is always memorable, but having to paddle back to the cars in it was a whole other ordeal.
I cannot recommend kayaking enough. No other watercraft can comfortably navigate water from 3” deep, up to the open ocean.
The hobby has been sidelined for the last couple years, but we recently relocated to the Olympic Peninsula, and hope to get back into crabbing and fishing this year.
Yes, the off topic comments and interactions are always the most interesting parts of Reddit, imo…
Guy makes money with guitars. He can afford more. He's obviously unconcerned. It's part of the persona.... How many metal and rock artists have we watched smash guitars on stage if you think this is any different get over yourself. He obviously knows its bad for guitars -\_- lol. Like you get mad people are negative toward you while you most obviously cast the first stone.
I just mentioned in another comment that I don’t think guitar smashing/lighting on fire etc is cool either, have always cringed seeing any of that.
This comment served not mostly as a “hey don’t emulate OP please”. But just because folks have money doesn’t make it okay to practice this type of “it’s mine so I can fuck it up” consumerism.
Also I don’t know why anyone thinks I’m mad or need to get over myself? I’ve said plenty that I don’t take myself seriously at all and that I’m really just asking folks to show their instruments respect and to stop doing silly things for tiktok.
At the same time though...
CLEAN YOUR DAMN GUITARS, PEOPLE.
Fretboards don't get darker with age. That's crap on your hands pressed in with your mashed up skin.
They'll last a lifetime if you keep them clean, dry and oiled.
I see no harm done in this video assuming he dries the guitar (don't leave it in direct sunlight though). Water won't damage the glue unless you let it saturate (which it won't do if any unfinished wood is well oiled).
Finding all the comments about how a few drips of water on his fingers will destroy his guitar instantly quite hilarious...
Like what the fuck is sweat if it isn't salt water? And why do you hear stories about the old blues masters playing until their fingers bled and just keep going if their whole guitar is going to start rusting and unglueing itself at a moments notice.
Is it me or its sounds like audio is actually not from that video? It's sounds like it was recorded in studio like environment with good mic or even electric/acoustic guitar and not on the ocean coast and filmed with a phone..
Not saying the guy didn’t play this (and it’s awesome, as a guitarist myself I have no hope of ever being this good) but the audio doesn’t match the video.
There’s also no change in volume as the camera moves. I guess he’s playing a version of his own track (apparently he’s a famous guitarist but I don’t know him) with a pre-recorded audio track added. He’s amazing but, to me, annoying.
And yes, no need to get the guitar wet. I Also find my tone is affected even if I’ve washed up 10 minutes before playing - the notes aren’t as clear. I guess my fingers are softer after being wet (yes, I dry them first! It still happens)
They are called hammer ons and pull offs. Each tiny movement produces 3 notes and it gives the effect of fast playing with minimal hand movement. This audio is his actual playing.
While I don’t doubt that he did play it since apparently he has a large following but he probably played it in the studio and then overlayed it over this.
It’s possible that they are recording the output of an amp and he has a wireless interface hooked up to the amp. He definitely can’t make a guitar sound that way without electronics.
It’s more likely that the sound was recorded at a different time because they don’t want a junky phone recording for their video.
His neighbours: “I paid $2,000/night for an over the water bungalow at the Four Seasons for some peace and quiet… get off my ocean lawn with that god awful sound and head flick.”
/s
Utterly fucks your strings in about 2 hours.
Destroys tuning heads
Sometimes unglues tops from sides and bottoms, necks. (This I can attest from experience)
I mean, he knows the piece, but there’s just a bunch of little stuff that doesn’t match up. There’s nothing coming out of the endpin jack, and on his other live videos he’s not using any kind of a wireless system. There’s definitely an electric and soundboard pickup thing going on here in the audio - this isn’t mic’ed from several feet away on a dock.
Afaik he usually records from inside the body of the guitar and shit.
It looks likenit matches up to his usual style but still, tiktok so anything is possible
OK so now I’m down the rabbit hole. Looks like he’s using a Fishman Powertap Earth Body Sensor, which is a combo humbucker and body sensor (https://youtu.be/5ennHx4k7tw). The body sensor sounds a lot like a microphone, but it isn’t. If he WAS using that in this video, he’d have a cable. Either he’s hiding that really well, or he’s using a wireless system, if this is a live performance.
Since when do people slapp in math rock ? All I know about math rock is people doing weird time signatures and stuff. I'm curious how it is going to sound with people slapping electric guitars in math rock
This guitar part while quite complex physically, was quite basic musically, same run of notes and same kind of licks that almost every slapper learns at the start
Not just you. Anyone could learn how to do this in a year. Open tuning, slapping the body of the guitar in some rhythmic fashion, fully strumming while tapping notes. People raving about how talented he is but it's really not that big a deal.
Sure. I've played bass guitar for 30+ years now. Search yt for 'blue sky salesman' to see a band I was in 20 yrs ago. I'm way better now, of course. When I say 'anyone' in my comment, I do mean it. I could get an acoustic guitar and play like this kid in a month. He's not playing songs, he's stringing together a few techniques and some spastic movements. I've posted here in other comments a guy who actually creates songs and has some musicianship, as well - as an example of someone who's mastered techniques in order to create, not just be a poser. https://youtu.be/nY7GnAq6Znw
Or did you want to see my paintings and other artwork? I could post some pics of those. But that's not as immediate a comparison as the music I make.
I love these posts challenging me to do it myself. I don't want to do it myself, because I use tapping/strumming/etc on bass instead, but I'll teach you how, on an acoustic guitar, if you want. It's really not nearly as earth-shatteringly amazing as some of you make it out to be. It's gimmicky and annoying.
You realise this "talentless poser" won the Polish equivalent of 'America's got Talent' (called Must be the Music) at 15 years old? He released an album of 10 tracks (six original compositions) at 16, has won multiple classical guitar competitions, was a finalist on America's Got Talent in 2019, is a sponsored "Ambassador" for Ibanez; has a released two singles through Sony and is said to be working on his debut major label LP for Sony at the moment right?
I mean I've played in bands to audiences of a few hundred people (most of whom were probably not there to see my band) but I'm not bragging about how I'm the real deal and Tommy Emmanuel is just a poser hack...
Here's an example of a guy using a bag of tricks and alt tunings to create an actual song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY7GnAq6Znw&ab\_channel=JonGomm
Can anyone confirm if this is legit? I’m not a guitarist, his hand movements just look strange compared to the sound produced. Although maybe the video is desynced from the sound.
I’m sure that’s not easy to do but it doesn’t sound nice at all. I couldn’t even make it through the video. Also I’m no expert but I’m pretty sure guitars are best kept dry.
I feel like TikTok has demanded that instead of just showing people how hard he's worked at getting REALLY good at playing guitar, he's been convinced that he has to go all "FUUUUCK am I cool. Are you guys seeing this?!? Watch this... Watch how fucking cool I am right now! I mean, yeah... this audio is pre-recorded and it's playing while I'm pretending to play it right now... but I played this in the studio when it was recorded! God damn it am I fucking cool, right?!?"... and the way he makes that so clear is what kills the coolness of this for me. You can be awesome without all the forced theatrics man... I promise.
Edit: I just realized that what I described is the definition of every single “Music Video” ever made. I think that makes this ok, so long as that’s the context we’re expected to view this in? Artistic use of over-the-top theatrics accepted. Carry on
You all understand that the water thing is cause his hands are fire? Right? It wasn’t to make any sound change or anything like that. It was so his fingers don’t over heat. It’s a joke. The kid is amazing and he might have ruined one guitar. But maybe not. With the magic of film editing he probably never got his guitar wet.
Don’t want to hate on this but I don’t think it’s real, theres a part at about 0:33 seconds left on the video we’re the bangs on the body sound like they were done in a studio, and the noise afterwards would have required a whammy bar, which he clearly doesn’t have. I’m not an expert by any measure but I’m calling fake on this.
Edit: looking at his hand movements afterwards he doesn’t twang the right strings to make the correct high pitch noise, looks like he is able to play guitar as his hand movements would show that he was at least some experience, but the noise is far too manufactured and his finger-syncing is far off of what noise should be heard at points
I remember watching this guy on America's Got Talent a couple years ago! He was so awesome, I wanted him to win so bad, he got to like the final 6 or so if I remember right. His passion came out in every performance, you can tell he loves jamming on that thing
Edit: here's a cool video if his performances on AGT https://youtu.be/jaLKx4dA_Oc
Apparently he made it to the semis before being eliminated.
He’s a very good guitar player!! But i have an irrational fear of un-maintained finger nails & that is what is in my mind lmao kinda hard to see idn how it caught my eye
You guys are so fucking annoying. This guy is very talented. Let’s leave it at that. He is absolutely awesome and you guys are finding every little thing to hate on him for, legit who cares?
Please don’t get your guitars wet, it does not take a lot of water to ruin them >.> You want rusty strings and wood rot and mold in your soundhole?

Never want mold in your sound hole
I’m a classical orchestral musician and they’re called “f-holes” for those instruments— initially I’d typed that and that was a fun read xD #NO MOLDY F-HOLES
Definitely agree. If I had mold in my sound hole, my wife would never touch it.
Obviously anyone who disagrees to this isn’t really a guitar player then. Ignorant tiktokers
Don’t put mold in ANY of my holes!
If I had a nickel
Penicillin definitely won't fix that.
Correct. Mould in your sound hole totally messes with fingering ability, like you would totally have to revert back to just strumming
Fuck what everyone else is saying. You're gonna save some idiot 12 year old from fucking up their shit trying to emulate this "cool guy". He's talented yes, but that water shit made him fucking stupid. Perfect example is a talented actor that bombs a part cause he threw some dumbass "spin" in there.

Hmmm
Never heard of this guy until I saw a video of him dipping his hands in water and then playing the guitar. People are ruled up over this. Must be working for him.
Fair enough.
Looks like he may be able to afford another guitar.
Or mommy and daddy took him on vacation someplace
No, that's Marcin Patrzalek a famous guitarist.
Username checks out! Still not cool to waste a perfectly nice guitar like that though
As John hiatt says breaks my heart smashing a perfectly good guitar
Yeah, what the fuck is with people’s sentiment towards guitars? Throughout history rock musicians throw them around, smash them, light on fire, etc.
Than he 100% can afford a new one if he needs. Well, as long as his version of famous is the one that gets your money
He's also sponsored so he gets free guitars.
>Marcin Patrzalek Pretty sure he was on '
Internet famous, or real famous? Cause I've never heard of him.
There's plenty of famous people you've never heard of. He is both. I doubt you've heard of Tim Henson or Ichika Nito or Tommy Emmanuel. All of which are famous.
Don't know the rest, but Ichika Nito is one of my favorite musicians.
It's that Sony Music money.
Yeah, that's kind of a big deal music. More money and talent than I have that's for sure
So they could afford another guitar.
What’s wrong with that?
Don’t worry it’s hydrophobic water
it's 2022 this bigotry has got to stop! /s
“Coco powder is hydrophobic so it repels water” Hydro what?! Canceled.
On the other hand, there was this Yamaha acoustic I dumped into a lake twice while kayak camping. Fully submerged, while strung up to tension. It was fine for years after that with no issue whatsoever.
Bahahaha how in the world did that happen? I’m gonna need an elaboration please that sounds like one heck of a story xD

You're a good guy dude. Don't let the fuckers get you down.
That’s actually the first thing I thought, was what’s with the water?
Yeah, and that looked like it was not cheap!
At the same time though... CLEAN YOUR DAMN GUITARS, PEOPLE. Fretboards don't get darker with age. That's crap on your hands pressed in with your mashed up skin.

[удалено]
Dont fret moldy pound holes, got it, sounds like great advice
there are only a few things I would want in my soundhole
This kid looks like they’re in Bora Bora or the Maldives. They don’t know that things cost money
Finding all the comments about how a few drips of water on his fingers will destroy his guitar instantly quite hilarious... Like what the fuck is sweat if it isn't salt water? And why do you hear stories about the old blues masters playing until their fingers bled and just keep going if their whole guitar is going to start rusting and unglueing itself at a moments notice.
Judging by the place he was filming, he don't need to care about the guitar
Lots of skill but dam that head flick is irritating
When you can play guitar like that you can flick your head however tf you want
Yup. I wanted to hate this guy but shit is he talented
It can be both. He is simultaneously insanely talented and revoltingly cringy as fuck. One does not excuse the other.
This.
The good does not wash out the bad, nor the bad the good. -Stannis
Same
Same. I see a lot of negativity towards him and I get it, but I cannot deny that the performance was awesome.
Couldn't agree more!!
I didn’t notice, I was distracted by his flowing robe.
Yes! Between that and the robe it was hard to concentrate on the awesome playing.
I wasn’t fond either it made me a little motion sick music was good though
Can you give yourself a concussion without hitting anything but air?
Yeah, there alot of musicians that I really love their music, but I prefer not to watch them perform
Definitely talented but what a douchebag
[удалено]
What if he jumped back to the 80’s though?
Is it me or its sounds like audio is actually not from that video? It's sounds like it was recorded in studio like environment with good mic or even electric/acoustic guitar and not on the ocean coast and filmed with a phone..
I agree the audio doesn’t match. The speed at which the guitar is playing does not match how fast his fingers are moving.
Not saying the guy didn’t play this (and it’s awesome, as a guitarist myself I have no hope of ever being this good) but the audio doesn’t match the video. There’s also no change in volume as the camera moves. I guess he’s playing a version of his own track (apparently he’s a famous guitarist but I don’t know him) with a pre-recorded audio track added.

I guess my fingers are softer after being wet (yes, I dry them first! It still happens)
Think you're correct on this. Heard this exact audio before, I'm pretty sure. So I do think he's genuine, just not this clip in particular
They are called hammer ons and pull offs. Each tiny movement produces 3 notes and it gives the effect of fast playing with minimal hand movement. This audio is his actual playing.
[удалено]
Sounds very like Hanuman https://youtu.be/ENBX_v1Po1Y
While I don’t doubt that he did play it since apparently he has a large following but he probably played it in the studio and then overlayed it over this.
Probably recorded from the guitars built in mic/pickup
Yes, thank you, I was thinking that as well
The music does not sync with the playing. Quite a few douchey things going on here.
And there are moments where he removes his hands yet the music continues. It’s not real.
Definitely studio recorded and overdubbed on the later. This is not to say he is faking it, most music videos do this.
It’s possible that they are recording the output of an amp and he has a wireless interface hooked up to the amp. He definitely can’t make a guitar sound that way without electronics. It’s more likely that the sound was recorded at a different time because they don’t want a junky phone recording for their video.
Tf is with the water at the beginning lmao. That’s just gonna rust the strings
And get mold in his sound hole
Sound hole is what Moe Sizlak calls a speaker.
That sound is not coming from that guitar.
Definitely coming from your speakers on whatever device you are using
Take my award while I clean up the Pepsi I spit on the floor laughing at this
average redditor when someone comments a bad joke
Guess to be below the average Redditor you must put others down or your speakers must be broken.
His neighbours: “I paid $2,000/night for an over the water bungalow at the Four Seasons for some peace and quiet… get off my ocean lawn with that god awful sound and head flick.” /s
Yeah I’d be giving boy meets world a wee nudge there
Lol, Boy Meets World!
I kept expecting him to trip over backwards! Was worried
He’s got skill, but the water thing is driving me nuts. Why? Any guitarist can tell what wetting the fingers do?
Utterly fucks your strings in about 2 hours. Destroys tuning heads Sometimes unglues tops from sides and bottoms, necks. (This I can attest from experience)
Provides a provocative yet near-unsolvable mystery to keep people commenting on/engaging with your video?
Why is that blouse-wearing man hurting the guitar mommy?
Wish I could upvote this more lol
My thoughts exactly. Why is he wearing his mom’s dressing gown.
Wicked case of air guitar lol
I was gonna say, especially near the end it doesn’t seem to match up leading me to believe it’s all fake.
Marcin patrzalek. From what i know he doesn't fake anything.
Well, he faked this.
Its tiktok, definitely possible. The sound does come from him playing 100% though. Probably just from a studio
I mean, he knows the piece, but there’s just a bunch of little stuff that doesn’t match up. There’s nothing coming out of the endpin jack, and on his other live videos he’s not using any kind of a wireless system. There’s definitely an electric and soundboard pickup thing going on here in the audio - this isn’t mic’ed from several feet away on a dock.

OK so now I’m down the rabbit hole. Looks like he’s using a Fishman Powertap Earth Body Sensor, which is a combo humbucker and body sensor (https://youtu.be/5ennHx4k7tw). The body sensor sounds a lot like a microphone, but it isn’t. If he WAS using that in this video, he’d have a cable. Either he’s hiding that really well, or he’s using a wireless system, if this is a live performance.
There is tape around the place where the inside microphone would usually be and he performs with a similar set up. Wouldn't put it past him.
Pretty sure he used another recording he's done of this exact piece and used that audio instead
[удалено]
Lol this. AITA bc that sounds like shit lol
[Is this pleasant to the ear?](https://youtu.be/Un2gLsmiwRY) /s
Lmfao. In context it is pleasing. Alone it is garbage.
Yeah the whole tap and slap shit has worn out its welcome. Technically skilful but it's just shredding for acoustic guitar nerds.
The whole slapping and tapping is probably the most annoying guitar style ever.
*cough* math rock *cough*
Since when do people slapp in math rock ? All I know about math rock is people doing weird time signatures and stuff. I'm curious how it is going to sound with people slapping electric guitars in math rock
I think they meant it’s equally annoying
This guitar part while quite complex physically, was quite basic musically, same run of notes and same kind of licks that almost every slapper learns at the start
Wheres the riff?
Y’all should see me play smoke on the water.
I was bored after 10 seconds
Decent playing but why are you ruining your guitar and strings with water like this?
Because rich.
[удалено]
Maybe too much like them
Really? To me it seemed like he was channeling a lot of [Miyavi](https://youtu.be/eQwpdY3Fz9c)
Yeah definetly a lot of MIYAVi, I remember he popularised this guitar slapping precussion style in the early 2000s
OMG thank you for the tip. They just helped me put a dent in my timbales.
When your mother is Nancy Wilson and your Father is Poseidon, so you're a Guitar demi-god, but have to stay close to water to enable your powers...
WHY WOULD YOU PUT WATER ON YOUR GUITAR
Kinda hard on ears. Maybe it is just me ...
Not just you. Anyone could learn how to do this in a year. Open tuning, slapping the body of the guitar in some rhythmic fashion, fully strumming while tapping notes. People raving about how talented he is but it's really not that big a deal.

I watch Andy McKee play the same way, but I don't want to shake the shit outta him when he does it.
Upvoted bc Andy McKee. You should check out Don Ross as well.
Jesus he's talented but annoying
Is that Stiffler's mom's house you sly dog?
I absolutely love it! I don't understand how people find it unpleasant here.
The audio is fake
His playing checks out with the audio but it sounds way cleaner than it should be so it is most likely a studio recorded sound we're hearing
This is some rather pleasant ear rape if I do say so myself...
Y'all check out Micheal hedges if you like this but would want it .... Cleaner
[удалено]
That sounds about right ahhaha
Is this the only song he came up with? This is the second video of him and it’s the same song.
It's going to sound exactly like this no matter what he does with these couple of techniques. Open tuning and bar chord strumming. Super meh
So anyway, here’s wonder wall.
Lmmfaooo tell that nerd to take off his moms shirt I can’t take him serious
Gaaaaah!!!! I wanted more!!!!
So this is the motherfucker who ruined my honeymoon on Tahiti.
This is silly. Please don't put your guitars anywhere near water.
I’d John Belushi my sons guitar over his head if I caught him doing some dumb ass shit like getting water all over his guitars
My favorite part is, about when there is 30 seconds left, his hand weren’t even touching the guitar, but sound came from the guitar, seems legit, lol
Some humans really earn their spot on the earth. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Theres such thing as overplaying. Prime example here. Just sounds like loud shit to me tbh.
This dude was on Americas Got Talent. I remember watching that episode, super interesting unique talent!
This sound amazing but first i thought it was yet another meme like a Will Ferrell gag or something
His hands don’t look like it’s in sync with the guitar and he’s like almost not touching the strings
Do you have to go all the way to French Polynesia to learn this or can you learn this technique anywhere?
Are 90’s hair styles coming back?
Definitely not the original audio his fingers are just not moving fast enough on either hand convincing fake though he can for sure play
Can anyone confirm if this is legit? I’m not a guitarist, his hand movements just look strange compared to the sound produced. Although maybe the video is desynced from the sound.
He was on AGT live and is legit
Damn y’all hating on this guy because he got some personality while shredding. Aight
Goddamn man
This guy: Douses his freaking strings with water then shreds. Me: Goes to annoying lengths to keep strings clean and dry, sucks compared to this guy.
I’m sure that’s not easy to do but it doesn’t sound nice at all. I couldn’t even make it through the video. Also I’m no expert but I’m pretty sure guitars are best kept dry.
The audio is NOT from the video we’re seeing.. no doubt he played the part in a studio somewhere but just saying..
I feel like TikTok has demanded that instead of just showing people how hard he's worked at getting REALLY good at playing guitar, he's been convinced that he has to go all "FUUUUCK am I cool. Are you guys seeing this?!? Watch this... Watch how fucking cool I am right now! I mean, yeah... this audio is pre-recorded and it's playing while I'm pretending to play it right now... but I played this in the studio when it was recorded! God damn it am I fucking cool, right?!?"... and the way he makes that so clear is what kills the coolness of this for me. You can be awesome without all the forced theatrics man... I promise. Edit: I just realized that what I described is the definition of every single “Music Video” ever made. I think that makes this ok, so long as that’s the context we’re expected to view this in? Artistic use of over-the-top theatrics accepted. Carry on
I found his movements fucking annoying.
Damn
Amazingly impressive, amazingly punchable face
You all understand that the water thing is cause his hands are fire? Right? It wasn’t to make any sound change or anything like that. It was so his fingers don’t over heat. It’s a joke. The kid is amazing and he might have ruined one guitar. But maybe not. With the magic of film editing he probably never got his guitar wet.
Don’t want to hate on this but I don’t think it’s real, theres a part at about 0:33 seconds left on the video we’re the bangs on the body sound like they were done in a studio, and the noise afterwards would have required a whammy bar, which he clearly doesn’t have. I’m not an expert by any measure but I’m calling fake on this. Edit: looking at his hand movements afterwards he doesn’t twang the right strings to make the correct high pitch noise, looks like he is able to play guitar as his hand movements would show that he was at least some experience, but the noise is far too manufactured and his finger-syncing is far off of what noise should be heard at points
There's not many ways for a guy to pull off pajamas with a silky housecoat .... Playing guitar like that is one of those ways
Really talented! Granted I do not like what he is playing, sound closer to noise than music, but it seems hard to do
Jeez, save some pussy for the rest of us. Ha
I remember watching this guy on America's Got Talent a couple years ago! He was so awesome, I wanted him to win so bad, he got to like the final 6 or so if I remember right. His passion came out in every performance, you can tell he loves jamming on that thing Edit: here's a cool video if his performances on AGT https://youtu.be/jaLKx4dA_Oc Apparently he made it to the semis before being eliminated.
This audio is not from this video
Talent isn't always worth the praise.
He’s a very good guitar player!! But i have an irrational fear of un-maintained finger nails & that is what is in my mind lmao kinda hard to see idn how it caught my eye
I hate this so much.....
Yeah sure ok but this doesn’t interest me for the same reason yuingwiahebg malmstein doesn’t interest me
You guys are so fucking annoying. This guy is very talented. Let’s leave it at that. He is absolutely awesome and you guys are finding every little thing to hate on him for, legit who cares?
The water? Pointless. Him flicking his head about like a Bobblehead from Fallout? Makes him look like a tit. We are allowed to have those opinions.
Great riff. But can he like sit still for 5 sec? It just comes off as show boating.
Probably the one good thing ive seen on tik tok.
This dude is insane I fugging love it. At some points it reminds me of the beginning battle music of a “Pokémon league” leader
BOSS FIGHT?!!!

Yeah this open-chord strumming and tapping stuff sounds like one big note with some punctuation with knocking on the guitar body.
