10 years later, still coming back to this masterpiece!!
ALL HAIL EWAN!!!!
Me 2 man everytime its just flores hiw his pinky moves and the up and down picking its like tim reynolds and yo yo ma had a baby its Ewan dobson:-)
nah, people are bad musicians. they dont even appreciate
how hard and crazy this song alone from him is. im playing
his songs since last 4-5 years, and ive had days where i
couldnt let my guitar alone for more than 10 minutes, not
gonna lie.
Amazing he was able to play so well while floating in clouds and walking backwards through a forest!
Not only was he able to do this but he manifested the mics and Mic stands to follow of their own volition.
What else would you expect from Raiden
This video changed my life in soo many ways. I literally remember myself turning off all the lights in my room and putting this on and just laying on my bed watching it fullscreen with my Seinheissers on full blast. I was going through a rough time in my 20s trying to figure out who I was, and Ewan Dobson gave me hope, gave me influence to just get up and do something, don't be afraid to be you and fulfill your own dreams. I wanted to meet this guy so bad, never have, but through his music I feel like ive known him my whole life (both from Toronto). Thank you Ewan for your music and everything you've done in your life, your a real treasure to me, and always have been since day 1. This song and Dreaming In Dortmund, will always be my absolute favorites. So much skill for one person to hold.

Dang just stumbled onto this masterpiece and I feel the same... Its beautiful
isn't crazy how music can have such profound effect on your life..

@@alexandrecozinheiro8174 I just forgot who I am after many attempts of deciphering the code.. 😅
I always find myself coming back to this, such an epic masterpiece.
i agree - one of his classics !
again and again and again.....
Same here, for like 7 years...
Mmm, yes sir.
Same here, for like 8 years..
I love the fact that it sounds like there's more than just one guitar. This is ecstacy for my ears.
14 years later - still going back to this masterpiece!
There are no metal covers of Ewan Dobson,because he's already metal,but with an acoustic guitar. He's the Chuck Norris of guitar
I know right? But... Neo classical exists
.. it can be done through a more metal sound. Now you are making me want to cover this on electric with pedals.... It would be so God damn awesome
This guy makes me wonder where good music comes from.. His talent is out of this world.
A virtuoso and a guitar wizard, Ewan's compositions are staggeringly impressive.
The fact that it is one tape is just mindblowing. There is not even a little mistake. Unreal.
Full on
Still one of the greatest technical guitar pieces ever written and played
Maybe the most
New anime idea:
An exiled outlaw from Japan finds himself in 19th century Mexico immediately prior to the invasion of Napoleon III's puppet ruler, Maximillian I of Austria. He is taught Latin guitar and mariachi style by a campesino in Veracruz State. Upon the European coalition fleet's arrival, he is caught up in the Republican struggle against the elitist- and Catholic Church-supported Monarchists. He ends up befriending an American Civil War vet who is sent to Mexico as a special agent by the president himself, just prior to Abraham Lincoln's assassination. They must form an unlikely alliance with turncoat Spanish and British agents to defeat the Franco-Austrian invasion.
It will be called,
"Mariachi Ninja"
You should write scripts for every show that was ever aired.
Ewan rocks too, of course!
Go to Netflix with this...
why does this have so few likes
If this isn't what you do for a living you're in the wrong line of business, my friend.
Why the fuck doesn't this exist?
Fast, slow, romantic,violent, screaming highs, thundering lows, smooth legatos, snappy staccatos, an epic dramatic journey of genius.
Thanks for existing! the world needs you....
this is my all-time favorite guitar piece. bar none. been listening to dobson for a while now and this still blows my mind.
thank you, ewan.
So many years coming back time and time again.
3:13 not only is this guy melting with my face with his guitar, hes tuning it WHILE HES DOING IT. epic win for you my friend. my hero you are.
Whoever does the visuals for these videos deserves a hell of a lot of credit as well.
MrJamesLowery They are actually visualizations from different media players lol. I had a lot of them included in my winamp player XD
LOL that`s awesome!
Haha
This is just another level of music, its poetry.
Greetings master..
Anyone catch him tuning the E at 3:13? I think he does that a few times during the song, too. Superhuman...
+MopHeDD During that fusillade of notes, I distinctly heard that flat E string. ;-)
I just recently discovered Ewan. How long has he been a guitar virtuoso? It all seems so effortless to him, which is what makes him a virtuoso in my book.
Wayne Turner
Lol. Probably been into it all his life. Practice, practice, practice. No agony, no braggony.
+MopHeDD yeah he's definitely at the point where it's just second nature for his hands
+Wayne Turner didn't read your full comment before commenting, but I definitely agree with your last bit.
No, thanks.Magician
I would like him to fight the devil down in Georgia, so he can get a guitar made of gold.
Super Di ....why is the devil in georgia. i just saw him in Mn.
seriuosly Ewan is like the daniels of guitar.
Gold guitar would be too soft
Lol I see what you did there
@@TaishoKenpachi I get you, a gold guitar would melt with this type of playing. This song is fire🔥🔥🔥
This song is literally entrancing. It's a 9+ min video, and I swear I cannot move from the screen once this vid has started and the time passes so quick.. Just amazing, such talent is unfathomable.
Years later......still awesome!
One of the most impressive guitarists I've ever seen!
This is an absolute masterpiece. By far my favourite song of Ewan Dobson, and thus obviously my favourite song ever.
1:24 Dat pinkey! IT'S ALIVE!
l mfao so true
1.5 speed... lol
Looks like a worm squigglin on the side walk. 😂
That thing is munted but in an awesome way
First time seeing this fella, and he in my opinion is fantastic! To become a master at your instrument is to just sometimes sit back and enjoy the ride, don't dissect it and look for mistakes, enjoy the music that surrounds our ears. An outside source just might guide you into uncharted waters that just might inspire your own creativity to an epic embodiment. Ultra player in my eyes!

These Blue Ray Deleted Scenes from the Karate Kid are Bad Ass!!

Sir Ewan is really a great unique master guitarist. Other one is Estas Tonne. Both are so unique and legendary that my wish is to meet both once in this life. Their music is life reviving
This is the only 9 minute song I know that makes you feel disappointed when it ends because it is already over. I usually end up listening it two or three times. This really must be the best composition of ewan dobson, and by that my all time favorite.
My feelings exactly!
Thanks Ewan for cheering me up ONCE AGAIN !!! with your FANTASTIC music !! You have the gift to make me feel good !! Could never thank you enough !!
I still come here for a journey. This is a journey indeed!
Anyone who can use two picks simultaneously is a God in my book...I have listened to this piece, probably over 50 times, fricken amazing.
mmhm. and he uses 0 picks.
@@machinerto8853 He uses two in this piece. He's got the pick between his thumb and forefinger and has one attached to his middle finger.
I'm sorry that I inconvenienced you with my comment, I wasn't familiar with his technique at the time. I don't know how I got it in my head that he wasn't using any picks. I wish I wasn't so condescending when I made that comment@@SomeDudeOnline
@@machinerto8853no worries :)
Ewan is on a level that most of you will never even comprehend. I am very pleased to have stumbled upon this. There is much more to this then meets the eye.. You have to let go into a deep dark place to achieve this understanding, and tap into something that most don't come back from. Beyond believing and understanding.. Knowing, and becoming.. If you set out to achieve this with any other intention then finding yourself then you will never know this sense of self awareness, and enlightenment that Mr. Dobson truly possesses... Your timing is impeccable Mr. Dobson.. Your creativity is truly unique.. I am enlightened by the brilliance of your playing... You have become your music..
Don't turn this into a new age ayahuasca experience lmao. The guy knows how to play guitar very well, as well as thousands of others, simple as that. Nothing to do with spirituality and soul searching.
What a great atmosphere is created by this song! There is everything there: solid bass lines, harmony, standing out melodies and (also very important) PAUSES! Not many fingerpickers use them, but they contribute to the whole thing a lot! Read Victor Wooten's book "Music Lesson", if you don't believe me. Thank you, Ewan for such a masterpiece! :)
It's called "timing", and it's an extremely rare gift precious few naturally have
How does he do it? This is magic.
Dude, whomever is responsible for the visuals needs a medal. I love how you're super talented but you seem to keep it comic to a certain extent. Good job man
Ewan, you really inspire me. This is absolutely a fantastic piece of music. It's so deep, so colorful, so complete. Even without knowing you at all this piece tells me you must be an incredibly amazing person.
All the best to you, man. Keep it going. Thank you for sharing your talent.
This feels like a journey, an epic tale of Blood & Ice :P.
An Ewan Dobson masterpiece.
The composition and the technicality!!!
Ewan deserves more.. way more
12 years later I found you
5:53 riff and melody is so serene, so beautiful. wow this is incredible talent
this never goes old... also, whoever designed those mics must be feeling deservedly proud right now, the recording is spectacular.
*WARNING* ~ Do not attempt to watch if you are prone to epilepsy, motion sickness, or combustion; other than that, feel free to rock the boat. :)
WOW!
so amazing.
I've seen him before, but not that one.
Stefan F. ~ he's got 4 or 5 like this from 2009 & 2010; he's certainly talented.
Stephen P. Shaw Been watching them.
This song is an epic bossfight in my head...
I began listening to Ewan Dobson sometime in 2010. Somewhere, in all of these comments, is one I made about that time. I don't remember how I came across him. Very shortly after I began listening to him, I thought "Am I hearing what I am hearing?" and I could feel my brain chemistry change. There are a handful of guitarists that have affected me in this way: Dick Dale in the early 60s. Leo Kottke and John Fahey in the 70s. Joe Satriani in 1987. Ana Vidovic in the last 10-15 years. Most recently, German guitar prodigy Leonora Spangenberger has had the same effect. But there is only one Ewan Dobson. "Blood and Ice" is the best guitar composition I have heard since Leo Kottke's "Accordion Bells" from 1996. Having said that, "Blood and Ice" is unique; there is no comparing it to any composition. When I first heard Ewan Dobson, I wanted to run out of the house and start grabbing people and telling them of my discovery. I couldn't understand why the whole world wasn't aware of him and didn't lay accolades at his feet. It's been 10 years now. Over 3 million views for "Blood and Ice". Many, many of the comments are ecstatic; the posters obviously fully appreciate and understand what they are hearing. It seems that he is finally receiving some of the recognition that has been so long past due...and goddamnit it really was long past due. He is without peer and a world treasure.
I feel bad for only finding out about him now
My mind has exploded.
No matter what I do in life, I'll never be as good at anything as this guy is at guitar.
Ryan Daniels well, that's probably totally untrue and that's a horrible attitude. Why would you ever say something like that about yourself? This guy's not anything special. He's redundant and Technical. Musically, he's boring and not very original. There's just not very many people that combine a bunch of chops together like it's a practice session turn into a song. First of all, he's not that fast when you compare him two other guitar players out there in all kinds of different genres. And playing fast is not what makes a musician good or what makes the guitar player did. That's why he's got to wear it fucking Karate Kid suit or a lamp on his head. Like a crow on a shiny piece of metal. I bet you're way better at dressing than he is. Along with other things. Don't ever say that shit about yourself this guy's a dipshit
one of the greatest and his gift he shares so freely and I thank you Ewan
OMG ... Everytime I find one of these gems I hadn't seen & heard, he just blows my mind with his works.Now on a lighter note: Kids don't do acid & watch this video
I hear some Andalucia Flamenco sounds. Atonal playing. Excellent playing and interesting and perfect technique of course.
what's atonal here? its just phryigan bruv :)
I know phrygian scale which you wrote wrong. But this guy's playing is much more than that. I get very inspirational of his playing.
Like his playing with left hand pinky melodies. Hybrid picking, interesting. Somehow new ways to play guitar and melodies.
This needs very strong pinky finger.
This was one of the first songs that made me realize that youtube is a good place to find a lot of interesting and unique music. After finding tons of cool stuff, I always come back to this, just fantastic.
its good but can he play smoke on the water....
Sarcastic level : priceless
Your question is good, but can smoke on the water play him?
I really think you need to stop being so harsh on newbies. The criticism from his last song 'oranges and lemons' nearly made this young lad stop uploading videos!!
I'm pretty sure his pinky is possessed! Just watch it throughout the song, it does some pretty weird stuff. Not sure if it's because it's incredible long or because it's a complete separate being, but it freaks me out.
It's a tentacle ....pretty sure
I don't know which of these masterpieces is best. They are all godlike.
Love it!!! Also the background CG is kick ass. His best video
Yngwie Malmsteen had a child
This child grew up
He learned the ways of the guitar
The child became a master
Now he is on RUclips!
lmfao F*&K YEAH!!! but id have to say niccollo.....yes? yeeeeeeesss.
his last name is Dobson, and he's a god of guitar all on his own...
O Really, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. I thought Ewan Dobson was the name of his guitar...dingus... Look up niccollo Paganini before you start to talk. I'm sure that IF he did read these, he took what I said as a huge...HUGE compliment, because musicians are just funny that way. Humble and respectful of our idols and for ANY shredder Paganini is an idol......dingus lol
Dude? everything's cool.
lol i didnt mean for it to sound like that, ... here Imagine a EPIC VOICE saying: HIS NAME IS DOBSON!
then read the rest of my comment from the perspective of a novice.
and i will look up that guy :) always looking for new music! Hail! BUCKETHEAD! MIGHTY CHICKEN HERDER!
Yngwie and Jack Black got drunk as fuck one night...
My favourite Ewan's composition. He's a master. I wish him all the best.
Damn. This guy just shits on my guitar playing! And I love the death-metally-esqueness from :49 - 1:45: i think that part in itself would sound great on an electric guitar with the distrotion on full blast. *headbangs at that prospect*
One would have to think that a mind that invents this would think about a lot of other stuff also.
I love this real deal, not 20 takes cleaned up edited processed polished shyte. Pure skill. Awesome
I'm thinking this guy is about to summon Chuck Norris
lmao.
comment still on point 6 years later.
he can't summon chuck norris, chuck norris summoned him.
Lol
Bro was in an alternative space while playing this joint he left the earth for a bit
you tube was a completely different website back then
Jesus.. Where the f--k have I been to have not known about this guy?
CharlieQuis in a place where fortunate people exist. The guy is technically solid and I wouldn't want to take that from him nor could I. MUSICALLY, he couldn't be more redundant or less interesting. I'll stay away from how annoying and pretentious he is. Identity crisis is an understatement
everyone's entitled to there own opinion. but i don't see this song being redundant at all it switches various times to various sounding styles of guitar Spanish/Asian influence hence the kimono hes wearing. ENVY seems to be the basis of your comment well if you put up a RUclips video of you playing guitar send me link i would love to critique it. @@fuckthensa3908
Him after playing this: Alright, that was awesome.
Me after playing this: DOCTOR!
Me after playing this: **wakes up**
God, I could listen to this all day long on loop... this is amazing... the costumes and backgrounds are awesome too...
When I'm on a road trip, I'll be sure to put this on to feel like a badass.
Craziest guitarist ever ! Maybe one of my favorit !
9 years ago and still epic ..
Mr ewan ivent seen any one like u where did u go ??
i love you Ewan Dobson. i'm from VietNam. i hope you know my country and wellcom it if you can. Good luck Ewan
What kind of sorcery is this?
Most creative acoustic guitarst i've seen in my life!!!
Welp, I've reached the end of the internet. Game over.
Dat tune at 3:13 :D
It's pretty crazy for this to be 10 mins long and stay interesting and not too repetitive. The trippy background visuals help.
you can make any amount of ridiculous look awesome if you have enough talent
The tabs for this are like this:
⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
Shame on RUclips for putting an ad right in the middle of this masterpiece. Before, after - fine, but don't interrupt as the crescendo peaks!
How many guitars does Ewan destroy per day?
I'm pretty sure my guitar would catch on fire if he played on it like that.
omg ;D would love to hear this with some distortion!! ;D
after 10 years i still have goosebumps
His pinkie finger alone is worthy of the title of God >.>
3:13
Quick string tune up
Wtf actually true
I just love how he always comes up with this badass intro and then ends it with 2 little harmonics, it's kinda his trademark and you wouldn't expect it if you don't know him.. That blend of different styles tho... Big thumbs up
238 people are jealous they will never play guitar this good EVER in their lifetime!!!
que estas en contra a hah
I doubt that any of us could play the guitar that well in our lifetimes :P
dragonassasinking Not with that attitude.
NO CAN DEFEND
creative and skillfully played. Ewan, such a pleasure to to watch and listen to your music.
This is ridiculous. How are you not world known?
What in the actual fuck!!!
that's exactly the kind of music that touches me. Life experience, melancholy ... everything included!
3:14 he adjusts his tuning. WTF?
beaaast , i wouldnt be able to do it even if i was playing it in a slower bpm hahaha
No, he "bends" (pushes) the strings behind the nut, which makes them go sharp and back =)
@@RattleheadRalph Thats another technique. Look at the time the dude posted. He clearly tuned his high E string. 3:13
@@tussoccaval You're right, I didn't pay attention to the time posted, Ewan actually tuned there! I never noticed that, and I've seen this video many times, now. Very cool
Maybe the 275 dislikes didn´t notice that it is only one guitar. There is no trick, it´s impressive.
I do not care how many guitars are playing. For me is important that this music sounds perfectly ;-). Very good player.
You, sir, are hands down one of the best guitarists i have ever listened to :)
300 people who wouldn't know talent if it shit on their face
someone get Yolanda some ice for that wicked BUUUUUURN
Yolanda Blue Tired of the racist ass self righteous blacks out there
+Yolanda Blue ...Uneducated is actually one word, not two words. Who's truly the uneducated one?
Your profile picture gained that comment 50%+ credit in my opinion.
i think they are jalos !
really cool music, but does anyone else notice the guitar is out of tune? that low d is buggin the hell out of me
I think it temporarily sounds out of tune when he strums it extra hard. I can hear it coming back in tune as it stops vibrating as intensely. The effect can also happen when you press the strings too hard with your fingers. Happens especially in lower tunings.
Magnificent...
im gonna say that at his level of playing that every sting on that guitar is tuned exactly how he needs it to be to get the sound he is looking for
why would he be looking for an out of tune sound
im just saying that as good as this guy is i dont think being able to tune a guitar would be a issue for him,i think mo sampson might be onto it,i play a little but not enough to even know what tuning he is playing in,but even as crappy at it as i am i know how to tune the dang thing
Always loved this song, and the green screen. Top notch work
I practice 3-4 hours everyday just in hopes that one day I'll be 1/4 as good as Ewan is
Make it 8-10 if you are serious about it!
We all know this guy is awesome....... But dam this tune is great!
Wow this is a totally different side of you I've never seen. its like watching a totally different guitarist. your talent is so broad. an acoustic god who can play metal and tremolo pick like any other gnarly metal guitarist. By watching this vid I have a whole new found respect for you. Awesome performance man
00:09 true norwegian black metal riff..
