I can just see Michael J Fox doing this in Back to the Future IV, going back to medieval times. "Huh, I suppose thou art not ready for this yet. But thine children will be burnt as witches for playing it."
I was listening to lute music this morning and just typed in "shredding rock lute" on a lark and this came up. Peter Beverly says the musician's name is Alexey Arkhipovskiy and some others wrote that he was playing a balalaika, which I never heard of. I looked him up on Wikipedia which says the instrument is a balalaika (I think lutes have those weirdly bent necks), a Russian instrument. Kate Lucas wrote that she thinks it is a Russian folk tune called Vanya, but I couldn't verify that. All I really know is that I love it and will look for more.
Yo this dude looks so happy- like he is just rocking out on his lute and having a blast! Watching the audience is fun too; try spotting which members would be up and dancing if it wasn't for concert etiquette.
Currently my favorite video on RUclips. He just looks so happy. I believe the song is a Russian folk tune called Ваня or "Vanya." If anyone can find more let me know!
I actually came here while reading that book to figure out if i was imagining lute music properly. this guy really gets it... tho somehow i picture qvothe differently, and this guy gives me Illien vibes instead
The crowd is so amazing in this video. This dude is putting on this insane performance and they have absolutely no expression on their faces. Best part is 1:36 when a dude just gets up and walks out!!
So our party walked in on an epic one on one fight to which my characters response was to playing epic fight music on my lute. Dm said to find epic lute music and this is what came up. Needless to say Bonuses were had all around.
when the youtube recommendation bot does it's job for once
fr
I got here from typing “mandolin shredding” was not disappointed
When the party bard rolls a 20 on performance
Bro I literally looked up "Shredding the lute" in case one of my bards hit a Nat 20 on performance and lost my shit when I read this 😂
You couldn't be more right about something even if you tried
The precise reason I found this video 😂😂😂
Yeah, bro. I need this guy in my party. I always thought bards were worthless.
@@harryennis601 I'm here because of this
He's got the Pick of Destiny.
Totally!!!
To get the maiden moist and wanting.
Hes got the pick but isn't using it.
The pic And the old epic lute too!
@@ItsOverFatKid finger
So this is what the bards do when the DM isn't around

Parkinson's would probably enable him to do that pretty well now. sick strumming skills
Wow! I was just thinking that very same thought after reading a comment above, then i scroll down and you nailed it. hahaha.
Baaaaahahahahahha
I like to imagine this being played back during the Renaissance, melting the face off of every knave on the fief.
Ken Kirawyn if your bard could play this in your properties in Skyrim or at the dark brotherhoods sanctuary would be awesome
The player would have been burned to the stake.
So how long have you been trying to fit knave and feif into the same sentence? Regardless I'm very proud of u
@@idontwantahandlethough _Instigative Argue-Bot has entered the chat_
@@kirwynxciv8344 I'M A REAL BOY!!
A real boy who came back to hear this hobbit shred one more time :)
The face of that audience is what i expect of an audience from the middle ages experiencing rock for the first time
Ive never heard anyone make a 3 string instrument just... ROAR like that. Holy crap.
Tis lit my liege
This is probably hands down the most awesome thing I ever found in my internet journey tonight on youtube.
Our Bard just played this as he prepares to cast healing word on my paladin about to be eaten by a mimic wish him luck, guys
Still the greatest acoustic performance I have ever seen
I actually searched for something like this. I'm not disappointed
Same today - lol

hahahaha, I usually go "hobbit shreds lute" when I want to find this

Nullvalue that’s not a lite, it’s a balalaika
@@TheReuMusic it is a mandolin.
@@tktspeed1433 incorrect. A mandolin has 8 strings. This instrument has 3, with a triangular body. That is a Balalaika
@@TheReuMusic oh yeah true, I searched mandolin shredding and this came up first so I thought it was ofcourse a mandolin, my bad.
I saw it many years ago and never found it anymore. TODAY I could find it.
Bard: I want to play a song for the tavern
DM: roll it
Bard: 20
Dm...
Currently my favorite video on RUclips. He just looks so happy. I believe the song is a Russian folk tune called Ваня or "Vanya." If anyone can find more let me know!
The guy is Alexey Arkhipovsky
Damn Kvothe
Qlovis Itrograd kvothe brought me here aswell
This is totally how I'll picture Kvothe's lute from now on
No strings broke doe lol
Kvothe can do all this and more with one string
I actually came here while reading that book to figure out if i was imagining lute music properly. this guy really gets it... tho somehow i picture qvothe differently, and this guy gives me Illien vibes instead
The entire crowed get +3 to attack rolls
Haha! Hell yeah! Bardic Inspiration for the win!
I literally came here to find something amazing for my bard to whip out and stun the DM. lol Hopefully earn a point of inspiration in the process.
if someone in the medieval era heard this, this guy would be burned on a stick
The crowd is so amazing in this video. This dude is putting on this insane performance and they have absolutely no expression on their faces. Best part is 1:36 when a dude just gets up and walks out!!
The crowd just looks so unimpressed
Average Alex he rolled a NAT 1
I just said this 😂
The crowd just looks so anesthetized.
it almost sounds like a banjo in some parts
I love how our first look at the crowd is *throughly unimpressed* but they seem to warm up
Rothfuss fans: Types in "Lute shredding." Also Rothfuss fans: "Kvothe has earned his pipes."
and the crowd goes fucking wild!!!!
Crowd reaction is phenomenal lol
Found this on Stumble Upon. What incredible energy and groove!
This reminds me so much of something Buckethead would play
This has a very Tubular Bells feel to it, I love it!
I can hear that. Those pedal tones harmonies and odd rhythms.
Really has a Mike Oldfield feel to it.
this guy has more notes in that mandolin than pixels in this video
This made me cry.
I love this song. Gets me hyped every time!
looks like a hobbit from the shire!
His fingers are so fast. I like his finger movement so much
how could you be just sitting there, id be jamming the fuck out
Someone posted this on Facebook just a little bit ago. I had to find out who it was so I came on RUclips. Thanks for the info! He is amazing.
this guy is too good for that crowd
Absolute fuckn master piece , Tenacious D would be proud🤘
2:59 the party when the bard rolls a nat 20 to seduce the final boss.
So much skill for one pair of hands
Im still amazed every time i watch this, and thats alot 😲 your a freak man 😃 all of the awsomes belong to you dude 🤘🤘
Let's see one of them. Come close!
When the bard has to make a sick tune for a red dragon or he dies.
Yet more proof real music is played with the face
True memes are great too though
Bro he wah-wahed on it
So this is how the bardlock sounds. Nice!
wow Dorian broke out a real solo! Anne is not ok!
To him that ain't a balalaika, that's a miniature electric guitar!
10/10 could slay a dragon to this.
Amazing! Love it!
That's some LV 99 shit right there.
2.02 guy rocking soooo hard
What a hard crowd. Lol
Omg! That was insane.!😎
Sensational!
I wouldn't mind learning some Balalaika Lesson one of these days
Wow, that was awesome, on the other hand, same on the half of that audience that was looking offended.
The yngwie of mandolin...
I feel like I have no idea what in the hell is going on, but I love it!
Came up in my recommended and I only clicked cos I was shown this after rolling a nat 20 in dnd
Shred level 10000000000 reached
Fable audience. “HEEEEEEEEEY” *claps*
Who is this and does he have more videos?
alexey arkhipovsky
I'm just sitting here with my jaw dropped.
So our party walked in on an epic one on one fight to which my characters response was to playing epic fight music on my lute. Dm said to find epic lute music and this is what came up. Needless to say Bonuses were had all around.
This exponentially became more badass.
Man this dude is gettin after it! What is the folk tune he's playing?
*The bard when things start to get serious*
my guy got a wah effect on a lute. jesus
Amazing!
Dude your awesome! 1/4\6
Music to play while frantically searching for a toilet.
This is too funny.
What instrument is that ??
What's this song called?
Peak savage achieved
Guys I keep coming back to this video cuz I can't find anything else that compares is there any other players that Shred the loot like this?
no, there is not. this dude is/was one of the best on earth at the balalaika
@idontwantahandlethough thanks i always wondered! I have been listening to this for a long time and don't plan to stop
The guy at 3:01, me throughout the whole song
That was the moment he had the idea for the mypillow
@@Gazdatronik holy shit this is funny
I just got a mandolin n i have 0 idea what to play or learn
Why does this remind me of vangelis
Anybody know if ther are more videos of Alexei shredding like this?I need to know..
this actually slaps
F@cking dope
Based
What song is this based on???
Buckethead?
legendary
Critical Role Campaign 3, Episode 6: 2:16:39
Just Enjoy while playing this song.
So what song is this supposed to be?
This is god teir playing 😮
Wow!
How is this not viral
Is kvothe at the eolian
I imagine that the unimpressed people are the party members who rolled a critical fail while the Bard is the only one to rolled a nat 20
My gooch is dripping with cheesy sweat
Sounds hot
AMAZING
Wht is this instrument
0:50 this dude just pulled some 70's porno music on us
