Well I've made my way back to The Dooo and there are many things that you could say about this musician... but we're going to say one.....
hes amazing.
I really love the vibe and the humour that this guy has going on. What a killer amount of talent and work ethic all in one that really makes you want to invest in what he's doing. Well done, Eric. Well done.
Sending love,
-DJ

Thanks to our amazing Templar family!
he plays the crazy train riff in that song since its the first riff he learned
Unfortunately he had to switch that part out for Rocksmith.
He also plays a part of the Psychosocial solo by Slipknot
That's so sweet
Wasn't the first song he learned barbie girl? Or was that a bitm
@@maxwellsage7422 That was a bit
Yes the Crazy Train bit was correct; he was paying homage to the first riff he learned. He had to modify that part when he submitted Ascend to Rocksmith.
That actually got cut out instead of being modified lol
@@Mr_Suite no he modified it to just a different part of the solo
also the version on spotify is the same as the rocksmith version im pretty sure
He really had to cut out a 2 second homage that's only vaguely similar to the original song? Man, current copyrights are fucking bullshit.
@@SingularisFox You wouldn't think like that if you actually created something worth being copyrighted in your sad life.
I don't think anyone before has seen the Doo shredding and thought to himself: _Oh, that's gotta be a pianist!_
Thanks for showing the world you have no musical IQ to speak of.
ahut up cukc
@@rossp8351 where the fuck did that come from
The phrasing with the tasteful dynamics is what really makes this song. Some parts really sound like the guitar is singing.
I had a similar experience when I first heard Joe Satriani or Paul Gilbert, it almost sounded like the guitar is speaking to you. Best example I can think of is "Don't rain on my firewood" from the Fuzz Universe album.
Definitely agree for me another son that does this but very differently is jimmy Hendrix ezy rider
His main instrument isn’t the piano it’s the guitar. He’s always played the guitar for like 15/20 ish years
a clue to that was him trying to vibrato the piano key lol
He said once that he stopped playing guitar for a while to play piano, then picked guitar back up. But he was already pretty good by the time he picked it back up.
@@SpencerFoust So if I've been playing the piano for 10 years and suddenly felt the urge to invest some time to play guitar am I now a guitarist or am I a retired pianist?
I honestly believe the instrument I've put most time and effort in is my main instrument, all others are paths I explored on the side.
Once you established years of muscle memory and learned an instrument to its core It'll be your instrument it's nearly impossible to forget how to learn said instrument even if you tried to.
@@Jeahy. I play a little bit of piano. Of course I’m not as good as I am at guitar, but I really do like playing it since it’s so versatile to write songs with. I’ve written plenty of riffs on piano and just transcribed them to guitar. You wouldn’t be retired, you never retire from an instrument once you know how to play it.
It's interesting, though, because he plays octaves like a bassist... using the index and pinky fingers; instead of the index and ring fingers like most guitarists do.
He has been playing guitar for over 13 years I believe. His guitar playing is some of the best I've seen in a while.
Correction, 15+
@@TacticalBuns that is still over 13 years
That is the old dooo. He ascended again. Check out his dual neck vids. Single greatest vids on the tubes. Im not the most learned musician but he seems to keep perfect time along with his technical skills. On the spot requests better than anything you heard made in a studio. I hope that guy is rich af. He is a champion.
He's a young Michael Angelo Batio with that dual neck guitar vid, If you don't know check out Speed Kills or No Boundaries by Michael AB. and just let the rabbit hole take you.
"I heard a little bit of crazy train, lemme go back"
**Rewinds 3 minutes**

Been a guitarist in muliple bands for about 30 yrs and he's definitely one of the best pitch perfect all around musicians I've ever seen. And his straming he does with his friends while playing games is so fucking funny. You gotta check that out, just look for best of doo 2021
There are several shorter vids of TheDooo, one a recently released song that was a collaboration between himself and two other RUclipsrs, Gibson and John Silkie. Despite the title, But I Pretend I'm a Beginner (based on one of his popular Omegle video series), it is a serious song that speaks of the challenges and rewards of a content creator. I thought the lyrics were actually pretty good, and reactors especially will be able to relate to them. Surprisingly, TheDooo only adds vocals to this one, along with Gibson. John Silkie does all instruments. You can tell who's singing at the time by watching the cartoon frame. TheDooo is in the middle with the ? on his face, while Gibson is far right. TheDooo adds high, clean vocals with occasional rasp and all the soaring falsetto. Gibson adds some clean vocals and all screamo stuff. The other song I'll recommend is another instrumental by TheDooo, called Ethereal. It has a funny opening that is the introduction of his Hello Kitty guitar. Enjoy!

I am convinced that The Dooo is the greatest guitar player on Earth and I really don't think anyone can convince me otherwise.
You’re not alone. He is the greatest to ever play.
he is
Davie504 begs to differ……lol
@@stephenjamison5495 he plays bass, not guitar.
Buckethead, Tim Henson...
His other song 'Eclipse' has some interesting technique that he used, I don't see many people playing like that. ( preferably the version with the new guitar, of course ).
The double hand tapping harmonizing with himself, that's actually so sick.
As a guitarist, I appreciate the fact you used Dimebags' Cemetary Gates solo as an example to show viewers what you meant when you were explaing the floating bridge. Perfect example so you gained a subscriber.
for real
This song gives me chills and goosebumps, that's how I know it's simply "fucking beautiful"
HIs bends, tone and just overall awesomeness are AMAZING. Hes an awesome pop guitarist. Amaxing
I believe dooo started playing guitar for a while then switched to piano to learn music theory now he does mainly guitar
I think he started on the violin...😁
@@iceninja46 thats true yeah
thedooo is awesome following him for years now and always blows youre mind even if you watch old ones back that you start to forget they were there.
The dooo doesnt bleed blood. He bleeds music notes!! Ive been a huge fan of the dooo for yrs now and this dude is talented!!!! Very talented!!!
The real beauty of this song is once you learn it is the melody translates well to other instruments, I've played it on giutar, piano, 6 string bass, and a friend is currently learning it on a harp and it sounds soooo good.
Loved the little crazy train lick and I love the fact he didn't over kill it and moved along into some other really sick sh%t 🤘🏻
The Dooo threw the book at the guitar for this track, like every single style of play got thrown in. Picking, sweeps, taps, finger taps, pick taps, arpeggios, pinch, octaves, hybrid picking, speed picking, finger picking, whammy dives, fret play (working the neck), bend dives, I know I am missing a couple but you get the point.
That is just how he plays, he mastery is unrivaled.
He can even play like this to songs he’s never heard, just let him listen for like 10 seconds and he can play the song to near perfection.
@@moistmellow1198 I know, I'm just saying that used just about every guitar technique in one track.
My only issue with his playing is how stiff his right hand seems to be when he plays some of the fast runs he does. From what I understand, he’s since fixed this. But in the video, he grips his pick pretty tightly and beyond it being bad for your hands, it slows your playing down. But you’re right: he displays a lot of technique here and he does it very well.
@@TheTouristArrives he’s still one of the best shredders around, I think it is just his technique. If he can still play some of the fastest riffs while not loosening his wrist I think it works for him
the dooo actually says in one of his videos that he likes his guitar tuned like a piano, so what you said about him playing the guitar like a piano makes a lot of sense.
Thank you so much for the cemetery gates reference... The end of that song is the pinnacle of whammy use
He’s been playing guitar for over 14 years which is awesome 😊
The Doo is one of my favorites, I did spend a week every evening when I was staying on US on omegle and chatted with him once… and was blown away with what he plaid to me
Great pianist, godlike guitarist, amazing vocalist.
The Dooo is an amazing guitarist. So much so that he plays with Herman Lee. I remember his content back in the BO2 days
@@islamisthetruewaytogod6812 stfu with your te**orist shi*
if im not mistaken, he started his musical journey by being heavily encouraged by his parents to play violin as a child or something along those lines, then moved over to vocals then piano then guitar. i *think* thats the timeline. he mentions bits and pieces of information in random videos so i couldnt point you to a specific one to confirm
You need to watch him play his ukelele on rocksmith he finds out the game could pick up his voice through the sound hole, and acapella’s a few songs with his voice XDXD
Yeah bro the dooo is seriously a gem. Amazing play by ear guitarist
You NEEEEEED to listen to "...But I Pretend I'm A Beginner" by TheDooo and GBSN!!! Amazing song and TheDooo's vocals are impressive. GBSN did some insane stuff too, but even more impressive is all of the guitar and stuff is done by John Silkie, if you watch the video their characters light up when they're singing. You'll love the song tbh
I'm a big fan of Shawn Lane...but we love this! This is the first I've heard him do slower, more melodic runs. Nicely thought out! Great hearing his material!
Finally a reaction video that isn't just "oh wow that was cool... subscribe to my RUclips channel". Props to you and your channel for adding insight to the playing that even I as a somewhat experienced guitarist wouldn't have caught.
Thanks so much man! Appreciate the comment and hope to see more of you.
Its so wild watching his vids regularly. Its gnarly content with wonderful music. Amazing too funny
The second he said divebomb i was so hoping for dimebag to make a pop up. Did not dissapoint
It's a Sterling with a single-locking two-point bridge, Strat style but two points of contact instead of the typical 6 screws you'd see on a more vintage style Fender tremolo. EBMM use them a lot.
very nice video...a pleasure! The song at the outro, the dark melody...unfortunately it stops. Is it possible to hear the whole song anywhere??? )))
One thing I find myself asking when I hear this being a fan of him for so long is did The Dooo intend for this to have lyrics but never introduced them? Because he has quite a voice too
“Did I miss it” rewinds it back 3 minutes
His full instrument cover of hallelujah was pretty inspiring
ruclips.net/video/gBEDUfYqVRc/видео.html
It is the crazy train riff and actually had to change it in the rocksmith dlc to learn the song due to copyright
He started on a violin! So, so much talent!!
This is the vibe I get from this video - Driving teacher reacts to Formula 1: "Ok now, that's REALLY COOL, he's turning the steering wheel to make the car turn. I can't see it but I bet you he's pushing the breaks with one of his feet right now. Do you know how I know it? The car is getting slower. Oh yea, I've been teaching driving for a long time so I know these things..."
can you react to him singing sound of silence its really good i love it
As far as I remember, he started with guitar, then focused on piano before making his way back to guitar
That whole section was an homage to crazy train. He's referencing the solo as well if you listen closely. I know he does the same kind of thing with Davie 504 and a Through the a Fire and flames. It's just a little more subtle and refined in his song. I'm a big Randy Rhodes fan so I recognized it immediately.
What is that outro song? Love the riff and it sounds like a great backing track!
Piano player switched to guitar, I immediately think of Yvette Young of Covet. She's incredible!
You really need to react to some Charles Berthoud. He's probably one of the best bassists ever - all of his videos show off not only his incredible technique but also his amazing compositional skills.
Hes technically great yea. but its a stretch calling him the greatest ever. Hes the best youtube bassist by far. But if you think hes the best, you have some searching to do. when it comes to phrasing and composing, Victor Wooten still way better. Jeff schmidt etc. Charles is a soloist. Which allows you to play outrageous things. Now dont get me wrong. The man is a hell of a musician. But Hes got some years before hes considered one of the greats. But he will eventually be there.
@@ScootsMcPoot - I never said he was the greatest ever, I said he was one of the best...
You have got to watch him and his friends making a song in 1-hour video, it is so funny and ironically somewhat a good song
He has crazy train and also bullet for my valentine hearts burst into fire mixed in there
Bro, when you mentioned crazy high divebombs, my first thought was Dimebag playing Cemetery Gates lmao
Hell ya! Haha
Octaves is when you play the same note with a higher pitch, every pitch is 1 octave.
as a guitar player, crazy train was my first riff i learned
Thanks for making another thedooo reaction
You mentioned his technique being similar to a pianist going to guitar, its actually the other way around. At the time of this comment TheDoo has been playing guitar for almost 16 years whereas piano is around 11 years.
Look at the reverse descend… amazing
when a rest is a strongly notable part of a song you know it was well composed
TheDooo is very talented! He is everything i want to be lol!
Love Dime’s Squeal. The absolute best at it
idk if im just hearing things but the piano reminds me alot of glassy sky
Fun thing about TheDooo, he actually started playing guitar first, and then started playing the piano afterward. Which is an unusual transition, most people do that in reverse.
I just watched your other reaction as well, the Zelda Medley and you said his moniker "TheDooo" was weird to say when regarding his video like 'Lets Do TheDooo video'... His Moniker used to be MountainDooo but when he started getting popular he was cautious about getting sued by the company behind MountainDew. So he Changed the name to TheDooo to avoid any confusion.
5:05 YES IM SITTING HERE GOING IS HE GONNA CATCH THE CRAZY TRAIN RIFF AND U DID
I’d honestly argue the dooo is the best guitar player alive and maybe even ever, his ability to play every single style, every type of guitar and every song just by listening to it for 30 seconds is un matched
Look up Guthrie govan. The Doo is great but even he will admit that guys like govan have him beat. Louisville Stomp by the Aristocrats. That's probably some of the craziest guitar work I've ever tried to learn. Took me 6 hours to get 1 minute into the song
Of course there's many better than him. E.g. Guthrie Govan. Like, that's not even a question. Dooo himself would agree to that too, and it's not even by a small margin.
The Dooo is fun and plays some nice solos, but the world of guitar is so much bigger than this.
Listen to him sing fly me to the moon. its amazing
qualified professional music teacher verdict: "That was really cool man!" I think I should start teaching too lol
Giving some great Andy James vibes too I love it!
*skips 3 seconds over crazy train riff "did i miss it?" *goes back 2 minutes
I never actually thought about it before but your comment on piano and guitar playing makes sense. I always thought his long and agile fingers were from long term guitar playing but they may also come from equally as long piano playing. His forearms are quite thick though so I suspect it guitar. The thing that also gets me is his clarity and accuracy on the frets.
There's also a bullet for my valentine riff in there
It’s pretty crazy that he’s 99% self tonight
It is crazy he is self tonight
the doo is really known for playing guitar in cod lobbies. never knew he could play piano but have seen alot of his bo2 content
I recommend watching his Omegle "Pretend to be a Beginner" series, as well as some of the others. You'll notice he has an excellent perfect pitch
You have to react to the other 2 songs on that video! Theyre just as good as the first one is.
TheDooo really is something else
he also has 2 other solos that I would recommend reacting to
i believe that Eric is the best guitarist out right now. this is one of his own songs.
100% the pure amount of time and effort he has put into it shows and even impresses people who have been doing it longer
@@Volfur2251 I have to say he doesn't impress me as much as he should (?). I mean he's good, but still not very special for a guitar player. Is it maybe just the fact that he makes videos on youtube that people thinks he's so great? Or that he plays fast and with a lot of distortion and reverb?
Yea I was about to say he’s definitely played guitar longer and it was his second instrument he played violin first.
You should do his other originals. They are also so very good
Musicman guitars didn't use flyod rose tremolo, they use their own tremolo system..
I know he wrote this a while back. And I have been playing for decades. Started with piano, then violin, then sax, flute and whatever. This guy is fantastic. He was in his 20s if not still so. From what I get he is chill AF as a person. I can't get close on to main main instrument now (guitar) to him, So I take influence.
His main instrument is guitar he played for about 15 years now.
He's not using a Floyd Rose bridge - this is a floating bridge made by Stirling which has a recessed trem so you can pull up. John Petrucci doesn't use double-locking trems anymore since moving to Music Man. A good set up guitar doesn't need them with locking tuners and the correct tension at the nut.
You know whats crazy...his first instrument was a violin
Seriously?
I'd love to see dooo play a violin.
please more of theDooo! xD
I guess its a little of both. He's mentioned that he's taken piano lessons early, but guitar is his main, like 17 years or something now
Anyone notice at 5:12 he said "did I miss it" and then he proceeded to skip back a minute and a half lol
His main instrument is the guitar tho. So it’s the opposite of what you said. Piano is his secondary instrument. He’s just super talented
I honestly also heard gohans anger from the cell saga near the end
the guitar is a sterling musicman maj100 it doesnt say anything about the bridge bieng a FR model online but still id like one anyway
4:31: what you forgot to point at is that dooo is hybrid picking. hybrid picking is when you have a guitar pick in your picking hand, but you use some other fingers to "pick" those notes or play it in a fingerstyle method.
edit: it seems like he is doing hybrid picking, unless the way he picks threw me off. but it does seem like he is hybrid picking.
He actually tries to vibrato the piano sometimes 😂. It's so fun
What’s the outro song? I’m really digging that vibe.
Nice! At the start it was giving me Zelda: Ocarina vibes. Similiar sound.
Really? I heard more Dearly Beloved than Zelda: OoT
The song he plays on his Hello Kitty guitar is called Ethereal. One of my favorites. Amazing song
Does anyone know the outro music pleaseee???
I see people commenting about the Crazy Train part, but I'm also pretty sure 5:38 - 5:42 is a homage to the solo of Psychosocial by Slipknot
The Doo is in a league of his own.
I completely agree.
He has 2 other songs like this called "Eclipse" and "Horizons."
