I can't believe how much of positive response this video is getting! Thank you guys so so much! I'll make sure to keep awesome music coming, with more daily videos and a new album on the way. I was replying to every comment but the current number has reached an overwhelming high so it will be a week or so before I can get back to each and every one of you. I appreciate every comment, suggestion and future video ideas! I did not expect this video to reach this many views in just few weeks! Wow! Among all positive responses I've noticed small percentage of misconceptions about this video so let me address that.
I am a musician from Europe living in United Sates. I do music full time, that includes solo and band performances.
As any full time musician knows there is no bad gig, whether it's a dive bar or a festival stage you get up on there and do your best! However smaller gigs with few or no people in the audience sometimes can feel discouraging. That is one of the reasons why I started this RUclips channel, to capture video and audio of my performances, big or small, exciting or boring. Seen by thousand people or just one, these performances can live on the internet for other people to enjoy around the world. It is a gratifying feeling to share ones music with the world even if at the time of music creation there was no one there to care to listen to it.
If a tree falls in the woods and there is no one around to hear it does it still make a noise? Well, it does if you put it on video.
Not every musician is fortunate to start their career with sold out shows and packed concert halls. Most full time working musicians play all the venues they can get. It is extremely encouraging to move forward and keep developing as an artist after seeing response to this video. But I am still making progress, and not every show I do is a sold out concert with packed audience.
This video is from a gig I did on August 16th of 2017. It was a Tuesday night at Motorworks Brewing in Bradenton Florida. It is a nice venue with indoors and outdoors seating. I set up on stage and played form 6 to 10 pm that night. August is off season in that part of Florida so attendance for live entertainment is low everywhere. The first hour was empty, I played for my self, took some video, made up music. I have some of those videos posted on my channel. Second hour was when a party of three people showed up and that was my first audience of that slow Tuesday night. I've greeted them and began interacting in between songs. And after building up a rapport one lady felt comfortable enough to through out a request. The rest you can see in the video.
Any full time musician will tell, people request songs they want to hear. Most of the time it's "Margaritaville" or "Freebird". But sometimes because of the way play people request for Jimi Hendrix, SRV, Jeff Beck, Santana, Steve Vai... Yes, music fans know these artists, and yes, they know their songs too. I get requests all the time for "Ode Como Va", "Cause we ended as lovers" or other classic hits. Sometimes it ends up in the video, some times it doesn't. But this particular request stood out and had a hilarious interaction that needed to be shared.
I'm at a real venue (google Motorworks Brewing) doing a real gig, with my real solo gear (see my other videos). The voice in the audience is not my mom, my mom doesn't speak English, not my girlfriend or friend. These are real interactions that real musicians encounter around the world on regular basis, except this time the camera was rolling and I uploaded it for you to see.
Thanks for watching!
That's your backyard, and that someone who requested it sounded like your Mom. The crowd looks... You pretty lonely, huh?
DOVYDAS Music you pulled it off!🏆
Charles Moore google search Motorworks Brewing company.
DOVYDAS Music Here's your subscribe button my good man. That is it. Keep creating, keep sharing and play for one, 100, or 40,000 people.
The response is great due to a very simple, yet uncommon factor. People feel a sense of admiration when someone has the composure to prepare for something even if they have to do in it public. Most people feel embarrassed about checking something up in public because they fear ridicule, but only a moron ridicules people for such a thing. Unfortunately, most people act like morons when they are in crowds.
Great stuff, I enjoyed watching this video. It had a certain awkward vibe to it and this made it appealing.

"no"

Ya, pretty much
😂😂😂 yep
ikr
Taena pre haha
I laughed so hard at this one 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of Dovydas best performances. Every time I go down the Dovydas rabbit hole, I always have to come back to this video.
Like wise
I like this one, but I almost always come back for Tennessee Whiskey collab. Highly recommended 👍
Same
Me too ! That's the first video of him that I saw and whenever I talk about him to someone I have to show this video.
Same here
Even more amazing than the performance is that some lady requested a Steve Vai song at a brewery.
It would be the only amazing thing of the video if not a fake
@@brusombear3823 A fake that the song was unexpected. He has to look online for the 3 chords but he knows how to play (bad) the notes on guitar?
@J D No problems, I accept criticism. But at least use the right word: it's envious not jealous. And surely I'm not 😂
@@MarcoServadei Made yourself look quite bad there bud
As a guitarist that playes
By sound, dovydas is for real... and its not bad, its one of the best guitar pieces last decade... going across the globe... for a freestyle solo.... This piece is great... nothing like the Steve vai song but in its OWN whay with lots of arpegios like Steve vai... hè learned the chords for the backing track in few min wich is normal for a pro and hè improvised and played like the best.... dont see many rockstars improvise and play a good melodic piece
The crazy thing about this is that if this wasn't recorded and shared the moment would be lost accept for the three people there. I go down a lot of internet rabbit holes and I do so just to find unicorns, nah, dragons like this! Carry on my dude!
Same here dude!!
except*
Take the free lesson, don't hate.
Please don't take offense to this clarification of the word you used in your comment. "Accept" means "To Recieve" as in "I ACCEPT This Reward!' Or "I ACCEPT This Challenge To Improve My Spelling & Grammer!" But the word you were trying to get right in this context of your comment is EXCEPT.
As in "...would be lost EXCEPT for the three people there." or "EXCEPT for a small scratch, you would never have known I had been in a fight with Gary The Gorilla!"
"So maybe you didn't win the fight with Gary, EXCEPT for that part when you crapped your pants, and the smell making him really pissed off, you put up a good fight! And maybe you'll win or at least not poop in the next battle you have with Surly The Sasquatch!"
Cheers! And Good Luck With Surly!
Same here,every night but very few Diamonds,this is a Diamond 💎 play on dude 👍
have no fucking clue how I got here....pretty sure three hops back I was watching Whitney Houston- I Will Always Love You Live....and here I am now. wtf lmao
Me and my wife were here that night. Stu & Paula, we moved here in march. We invited a friend named Kathy down from Georgia. We were the 3 out of about 6 people. Kathy learned from her son about Steve Via thru Merritt's music. Kathy asked David if he could play Tender Surrender by Steve Via. The rest was history. I call his music tender hard rock, and i know this was at the spur of the moment, nothing fake here. Great job David, reaching two million views and 6,400 comments in just 2 months.( Stay true to who you are)
Please tell Kathy thank you for me what a great job on this song
and now its 10.5 million views, 17k comments, 188k thumbs up. the mans a legend and doesnt even know it.
thank you
@@davesnothere2782 And still counting .
Thank you. Never heard of him.
Looks at phone for 5 seconds.
"I know guitar"
Lawrence Fishburn leans in.
"Show me"
Lmao matrix reference
Exactly... Except he did better than Neo. Neo ducks from a gun in the agent training video after learning kung fu. This guy would’ve kickEd the agent through the wall
comment section under the video is insane xddd
Totally Neo'd that shit.
Cube Gordon Jr say show me the money, but this time toms like they said no
Audience: What kind of songs can you play?
Dovydas: *Yes*
Literally
Bruh he doesn’t know many of the songs they ask
Hahaha lol
Yes, like Roundabout and Heart of the Sunrise?
😂 Dovydas.. yes. rofl
2024 AND STILLING LISTENING TO THIS MARSTER PIECE
When your 'exit strategy' is blowing a hole straight through the audience.
Epic
Literally the best comment on here hahaha
Great comment
I love this guy. Who else would have a soft hit with a song about an Amish Whip
This man is playing a set at a small gig and pulled this out of his hat and just about brought tears to my eyes and stood the hair up on my arms.
And there are people in studios that spend millions and still can’t make music that touches you like this.
BEFORE HE STARED PLAYING I WAS ENJOYING THE NICE RAIN HIT ON GROUND ☺️LOVE SOUND OF RAIN .😊
Well stated! I couldn't have said it better! FANTSTIC!
I have a feeling it was a plant, but regardless...stellar performance.
Very well said. I felt the same exact way
If the algorithm recommended this to you you're doing something right.
So so true thats how I came across this amazing video.
Hi from Australia
Hell yeah BOIIII
It did
Right on
Who are you and how do I obtain the knowledge
I'm a guitar player and this is the most amazing FUCKING thing I've ever seen.. someone give that man a medal!!
For those questioning that this is real - I'm a professional composer and producer. I'm writing this from my studio. I also play guitar in a function band that is required to do impromptu requests on a regular basis. While Steve Vai is a hell of a request for a guitarist, Tender Surrender is actually quite simple. The section that Dovydas played is a slow 3-chord groove that doesn't change, apart from going soft, loud, soft. It's a semi-improvised jam, even on the original. Because Dovydas is an excellent player who clearly knows his equipment, and has a great musical memory, he was able to busk in the style of Steve Vai over the chord sequence. When you know your stuff, this isn't difficult. If this was staged, he would have included the other chord sequences from the song. He also would have included the song's main melody, which Vai revists throughout. For the person saying "if you think this wasn't staged you're not a real musician"... I don't think you're a real musician. A real musician would know that, actually, a straightforward pop song with lots of surprising chord changes would be a harder request. And as for the person saying that this was recorded in a studio because you can hear the background noise disappear after he starts playing, this is very simple. He faded out the vocal mic for RUclips to make the video a bit cleaner after establishing the context with the woman's request at the beginning. I imagine he was running his live rig through a small mixer and into a sequencer on a laptop. Given that all his equipment is lined (electronics going directly into his PA rather than instruments with mics in front of them), once he muted the channel recording his vocal mic - no background noise. Case closed. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY DOUBTS? COME AT ME. I'M GOING TO FIGHT THIS GUY'S CORNER.
I just went back to this vid cause he said in another one that alot of people said that was faked. I have like no theoretical knowledge of music whatsooever. I can barely read the tempo out of notes so that i could learn the drums, and dont ask me about my skills on on the guitar...But...how can one think thats fake? Like u said: its not like hes covering some prog metal or something like that
I'd just tell em to fuck off into their sad lives whilst we enjoy the music.......
Wonderful response. I wanted to put something uo on this guys behalf but Once I read this, I didnt see a need to do anything other than support this post. I would only add that music should be something to enjoy, to express yourself, but most importantly(for my part atleast) music can bring peoe together than wouldnt normally cross paths. Ive met alot of amazing ppl at concerts, and before you could download everything the record store. I still love to go to my local guitar shop amd hang out in the evening atleast ince a week. My grandpa was a music teacher and also taught piano and violin lessons in the summer while school was out. he started me out at 4 on piano, and bought me my first guitar at 6. He passed away last year, but he left a part of himself behind that Ill always have, music. My son is 5 and is obsessed with playing already. My wife is a singer. She and my daughter sing together constantly. Its rare to see families that hangout as much as we do. Music is what helps us find time for each other. So I dont understand why anyone would want to start an argument about whos better. What the best instrument is or maker. Whatever the case. Music is so broad theres something for everyone. And listen to everything, atleast once. Dont close yourself off to just one lr two genres. Its ok to like country and hip hop. Or rock and classical. Hell i love it all. Yngwie Malmstein ayin Beethovens 5th is one of my favorites. My point is this, enjoy it, if an artist or style isnt for you, try something else. But you dont have to belittle the folks they create, perdorm, or enjoy it. Im not a huge fan of techno. Easy fix, I just dont listen to it. I will say there are a few mainstream artist that make me question hoe they have a contract with so many talentes folks scraping by that can sing and play live with out the need for auto tune but what can u do.
Go Laurence..this guy is pure manic..love his skills.👌👌
@@mossfloss What? 😂😂
Tender Surrender literally requires 6 strings and a trem. I think he's good. 😂😂
“I’m looking up the chords. I don’t want to butcher it completely.” Lmao! 😂
Exactly.
Yeah right 🤣
Same here.... Just wandered into it... Glad I did...
That's the problem with someone calling out a Steve Vai or Joe Satriani request, that ohh s... moment. Thinking to yourself this woman is either and old Whitesnake fan (best case scenario 😆) or a hardened G3 following Joe Jem having guitar playing ultra critic.
"Got it" ..... understatement of the year brother
You could almost see the moment your heart broke when you laughed at 17sec. Full props for a great job
+lancekamau haha, thanks!
I’m a 70 year old lady and just had a great time listening too this great music he puts out, I just picked his UTUBE channel up yesterday, and really enjoy what he does‼️ Keep it up young man you are awesome‼️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I discovered this amazing talent myself less than a month ago and have been hooked since,enjoy this incredibly talented young man 👍
@@Lightning2001 yessir you must start somewhere, I'm 1 year in now and just getting started
I am right behind you Sista, I will never ever stop at any age listening to music. ❤
Did you see the one with Vere Hill coming up and singing the song Tennessee Whiskey ?
Exquisite. ❤
@@tck2253 That’s the video that got me hooked on Dovydas Tennessee Whiskey 🥃
You dont just casually look up the chords to a Steve vai song. This guy can shred
brent noreen fact
Straight facts. Literally like someone saying...oh little wing? Hmm I have heard it. Let me look it up and wing it.
You right there brother, hoghead enjoying
@@allexandergibbs9295 Exactly!!! well said.
lol 100%
"Let me look it up. I don't want to butcher it." Then proceeds to compose a masterpiece. Damn bro. Absolutely incredible.
No idea who you are, who Steve Val is, or what genre of music this is, but you made me fall in love with all three at once. You're an absolute legend, stranger.
Right on. That was beautiful, bravo!
you should search for steve vai Heather...
@@fredgarvin4482 thanks! I tried Val and didn't find anything so it looks as if I mistook. last letter. You're awesome!
@@heathertaylor8904 i will not win any popularity contest saying this, but i dont really enjoy listening to steve vai or petrucci even though they can play the guitar easier and better than i can breathe. they just arent musical to me.
now this guy that made the video. he is more than a guitar player. he is a true musician. but that all just my opinion.
@@fredgarvin4482 gotcha :) well that's the heat thing about opinions... We're all free to have em! I never liked Nirvana or a lot of popular singers or bands so I know the feeling. Still going to give Steve a try in a bit. Have a wonderful day!
4 years and 3 days later, it's still awesome.
Sept of 2022 and im blown away by this performance..
Funny, I come back to see this video once a year!
2023 still going strong
I just found it and I'm blown away!
Oct of 2023 and still bumping this gem and until I die.
I am impressed! He kept his cool, didn't blow off the girl and say something derogatory like 'I don't play his stuff, or that song'. Then he stood there, researched it and built the song. Played it and never broke a sweat. Very confident, not cocky, approachable, and skilled. Very very good entertainer!!!
jackvisn
He didn’t play tender surrender though...
@@shredgod6394 No, he didn't play tender surrender, that would have been much less interesting than what he did here. He takes the founding elements of the song, and builds something of his own on the, which is imo much nicer to listen to live.

Decent guitar improvisation is always enjoyable.
But like 4:57 to 5:03 was just ear rape
It wasn't that off really... also - 6 seconds out of an entire unexpected improv? Now that's bitchy. LOL

Here we are in Melbourne in July 2020 all masked up for Corvid 19 watching RUclips videos at midnight.
Hi, I am Peter from Germany and I am 54 years old. In former times I did music of my own and in orchestra. I played accordeon and piano, all instruments with key. Since I discovered you, specially this one, on YT, I look at it several times a month. I like the way how you put the things together.
shit day, get home, stick youtube on, come across this and suddenly life's got meaning again ~
lol
YES
Don’t get your hopes up. Life still has no meaning 😂
You sure have a shit life if this video renews your faith
William Chapman - the account name is "TheUKtoday"... sounds accurate 😂😂😂
If I’m ever put on hold on a phone line I would prefer to listen to this . When they interrupt i would ask to be placed back on hold until I’m ready.
Ahahahahha :-D
This is the best comment I've ever read. Respect
Right on brutha
This version or the original
It won't be this
It's just so weird to think like 30 years ago you wouldn't get much recognition for your talent. But thanks to YT, you get 9M+ people who get to see it. This is the reason why I pay for Internet.

Been following Dovydas since this excellent video, its where I fell in love ❤ thats why I keep coming back revisiting how it all got started my obsession for more awesomeness in action, play it!!!
At first I thought this is another troll video. But you just made me speechless. Hats off to you bro. You are a true musician.
Thank you!
Only a few guitar players would dare to play Steve Vai, that makes you a good one! congratulations!
exactly! Im not anywhere in this guys league. BUT even if i had been playing 20 years id break out laughing at someone asking me to play vai
MrViolero I concur with your statement
WE WANT SATCH BOOGIE

Albert Hofmann for once^
Watched this years ago and bought it on iTunes. Always puts a smile on my face when it starts playing.
"Let me try to fake it"... I love the raw humblensess and slight humor of who you are, despite your obvious mastery of your skills. This interpretation had just the right amount of the original song blended with your own abilities. Keep this type of interpretation and your requesting audience will not be disappointed.
"Got it" was such an understatement.
"Nailed it" would rather be more appropriate though.
Understatement of the century.
Steve Vai has made a nice cover of this.
Ha ha ha
😂
Lmaoooo
Steve who?😁
Yeah close, but still not up to this guys abilities. After all, Steve only plays one instrument.
I suffer from bad depression from time to time but I can always come back to this sv version when I'm really down and feel normal for 9 minutes,and for that I thank-you x
Hey James! Sending love and good music your way X

When dovydas tells his girlfriend "I can do something like that", her world is about to be rocked.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She ended up marring him funny you said that im dead serious 😆
I went and listened to Steve Vai play that before I came back to hear your version. It became evident immediately this wasn't just a "request" ~ she was throwing you to the dogs! lol And damned if you didn't pull it off, my brother! lmao!! Epic!!

That was awesome

TRUE...but thee single biggest obstacle or primary hurdle that "musical servants" have to conquer or face is the simple fact that the general audience/mainstream crowd aren't musically inclined...they are simpletons who are only able to consume 'catchy' pop hits...something that's easy to hum to, sing-along with and remember...advanced music lovers are thirsty for true musicianship but the world is musically dumbing-down generation after generation (from "technical" Heavy Metal to simple "power chords" of Grunge...from "acrobatic n' tongue-twisting" styles of Lyrical Rap down to the meaningless "auto-tune" hooks of Mumble Rap, etc.)...MAINSTREAM MUSIC a.k.a. MONEY-MAKING TUNES does not care for genuine skills & talent...SAD BUT TRUE.
guess he just hasn’t come across any land mines
Fucking imaizing, a just keep watching that video, blows my mind
"I don't know it note for note." Might as freaking well. Holly hell dude. Superbly done.

Peydon7777 I play this atleast 3 days a week in the morning on my way to work extremely loud and it sounds amazing in my suv with 12 Alpine type R's throughout. It's a good way to get in a better mood for a shitty day lol
I'm no music smarty pants. Hell i don't even play an instrument. Never have. But I know passion, skill and talent when I see it. You sir have all three of those in spades. Well done I'm impressed.
I absolutely agree with you! I have been around music just about my whole life in one way or another and I know talent when I see or hear it and you have it! Keep posting!❤

Third that.

And here goes a 4th everybody. Such a nice and humble talent.

This is how a musician doesn't disappoint the people. Great man!
+Hazardgeek thank you!
Now 2021-10-27 i still think this is the best Dovydas... here you give it your all and it shows.. the new one know he is good... i like it more creative as you were. still one of the best artist around now and maybe even in future.. man you can play.
Nobody’s commented on how perfect your tone is. Literally spot on Steve vai tone 🙏🏻

go listen to buckethead, you will have music to listen to 24/7
i cant stop to😂🥳💪🏽✊🏾
When your young listening to a song that has no words but you feel like there was singing. You get older and realize it was your heart.
statistically, this is the song you are listening to at 4am, watching the sunrise while driving home through miami when your coke and whiskey hit that perfect medium.
Holy shit
It's 4AM.
Lmfaooooo
One hit is too much and all in the world isn't enough.
Hahaha 😅. I'm just not in Miami
_Plays amazingly_
After performing: "something like that right?"
Ive seen you around.
i see you everywhere
I don't see nothing
I see something
"He's beginning to believe"
Yes 😂
Just watched that movie. Nice
Trinity can you plug in every guitarist throughout history, I have a request to comeple
Best commentary ever!
Best. Comment. Ever.
I've been listening to this for 6 years and it never gets old
Bro you give me chills I had to put my socks on
holy FUCK THIS IS DECENT, you're a fucking monster mate, more. Honestly, this is fucking just amazing.
hpychf fuckin yeah 😂🤣
hpychf was just thinking the same thing. He really saved it and sounded nice. Tender surrender is a bitch to pull off :D
He texted Tank to upload the song through the Matrix.
Underrated comment. Take a like.
Best comment on this thread💯💯💯
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Add another 💯
Good shit
"you try to do your best." Understatement of the year; that was heart and soul, man.
For those that gave a thumbs down, you simply have no idea how much discipline and talent is here. Bravo, I say. Simply outstanding. An absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you.
This is simply extraordinary. "Something like that, right" Are you kidding? that was brilliant. If it's for real or simply staged makes no difference. As good as it gets fella
bro i thought you were gunna be like nah give me another song😂😂😂😂 you did good bro
a guy can play only certain songs. if he asks another song that will be also same that. its better lets fake it !!!
This is the first time i discovered you. 3 years ago i still remember to this day. I was just waking up that morning, checked youtube while still laying in bed. This was recommended. I felt compelled to watch. A wonderful experience. Seriously i was moved emotionally. It was a rough time in my life. Back then you had less than 50k subs i think. Now look at you! Congrats man, your amazing
I have a newfound respect for musicians that play live and take requests. Especially requests from an artist that is arguably the greatest guitarist of all-time. How do you impromtu crush something as complex as that on the fly? It speaks volumes about how talented this guy is. Much respect!
If you don't think he extensively rehearsed every tiny piece of this from start to finish before getting that supposedly random request, I don't know what to tell you.
satirical78 he didn’t, and even if he had, it wouldn’t matter, he played the song either way.
csmolen19 he’s played that hundreds of times before. Don’t kid yourself.
@@chandlerscaringia5260 no he hasnt, he didnt even play tender surrender.. he just took 3 chords out of the intro and looped them and improvised over the top.. a beginner could look up that chord progression and lay down those loops
@@satirical78 hate to break it to you but he didnt actually play tender surrender.. he just took 3 chords out of the intro of the song and looped them, even a beginner could google search the chords to this song and be able to instantly loop it and be ready for improvisations.. i mean, it took me longer to write this comment than it did to google the chords for tender surrender and loop them and im a self taught novice..
1 person asked you to play this 1 year ago. Annnd I don't see 1 person watching the magic there, so I thought I'd let you know - almost 5 million of us have seen you do this - AND WE FUCKING LOVE IT! You're 1 in a couple millions.
V1per O you have no idea!
V1per O id say only 5000 of those millions know Steve Vai
I would say more than that! Many of us love Steve Vai's music, his sound as only he could make! There are way more fans than you know, and in surprising places.
I'm 75 and I am so impressed by your musicianship. I can't believe one person can play like that. Thanks for sharing.
Man I doubt you'll come across this message. Hell theres already 17k comments. Anywho, you just reached a whole new level of respect my dude. I've got enjoyed watching you jam outside you have an amazing sense of music & you know how to use all those toys & put them together to do what they were designed to do.
But what I saw on this video blew me away! That was fucking awesome! You should have grown up in the 80s, you would have been a rock star! Thank you for letting us enjoy your gift! Peace
What I appreciate the most is you're not an imitator. You made this truly your own and it was damned awesome. Absolutely Excellent
