I find myself coming back to this video every so often. Thanks for keeping this video up. It's a truly nice song that has aged really well considering it's been a decade already...
lo más increíble es que vos pensás que cada parte que toca es como el punto álgido del tema, pero no, cada parte que toca es mejor que la anterior. sublime.
This is honestly one of the best pieces of music ever produced on a single guitar. I’ve played for years and now I’m older and married but man, I sometimes wish I had taken a route to become as disciplined and dedicated as Carson because this is next level stuff- definitely doesn’t get enough credit for how incredible it is.
Humility, metaphysical treasure. Wisdom, you that drain me with your grief waters. Ladder that takes me to the bottomless abyss. Towards up. Towards the light. Calm down. Don´t collapse. There´s still something to live for. The puzzle can be completed. Even if its pieces change all the time. And to top it all it´s finite, in its never ending. He couldn´t even suspect what had happened. Wounds where healing. But the body was still decomposing, in beautifull and delirious forms.
I'm not sure that that's the sound of him picking harder. I think the archtop guitar he's playing doesn't have the same level of volume that we're used to hearing out of an acoustic guitar, so the sound of plucking the string stands out more.
@@Fezzterify Something else that I've noticed is that he is holding the pick between the side of his index finger and his thumb rather than the tips of both. I think this gives it a thicker sound.
Thank for the amazing trip. Fuck. That was special. Feeling deep conexion with this. Also thanks for showing me such a wildly free-way to express yourself thru music (specially thru the way you play guitar). I learn a lot watching this since I follow a not very different way of playing guitar. Just I guess I´m not allowed to get so far, so good...
Looks to me like C# standard, I thought he played this in D standard, but my guitar in D is one semi-tone too high. So that's C#F#BEG#C#, I'm working on a Guitar Pro version of this tab so if anyone wants it just PM me. On Carson's Tumblr page you can find tabs for this song in a text version, which is what I'm making my Guitar Pro tab from.
Inable to reach the center, always swiming towards it. Chamanic ninja techniques where requiered to right that wrong. And leave it just like it was. Free.
Carson, the tab's great, at least so far, I haven't even learned half of it yet, but I've incorporated lots of stuff from your videos in this channel, specially this song. Such a pity you didn't post the connecting runs though, i'm not asking you to tab them, but could you at least
"classical" in the sense that you need to have an ear for what came before to understand what happens later. Whole different level of guitar playing. The guy definitely suffered to write the song. Anyone know who makes the guitar and where I can snag a recording of this song?
I know he released a bunch of tabs a super long time ago does anyone still have this one? I will forever be in debt to the person who’s held on to it this long.
loved the colours and the sounds in this video, amazing guitar playing, what is your inspiration and what is your music usually based upon. it's very beautiful. i also liked the camera work
anyone can comment more on what is he doing, technically and musically speaking? i also think the guitar is tuned in C#, but i dont know all the strings (c# f# b e g# c# is this correct?)
I hadn´t even consider that possibility. Maybe just because of his stetics, which is pretty sad of me. Maybe he is just a lonely free genious. I don´t know. I´m still amazed of watching this beauty...
@TheDanification It's not the same one, but Godin makes one. Check out their 5th Avenue Kingpin model. You can get them as an acoustic or with one or two P90's. Cool guitar and has gotten pretty good reviews.
Carson, I recently started writing something in Phrygian E, lack of a rounded shape more of a journey the song takes you on. A dramatic/running feeling. What scale(s) do you use in Watchers?
Damn man, I just read on an interview on your Tumblr page that you haven't seen a cent for your work on 'There's no 666...' and that sucks dude. Kinda makes me a bit pissed I bought a copy...but I've been on your bandcamp page and I'm getting paid soon, I'll definitely be downloading your works. Just please tell me you at least get some of the money I'll be paying?? Oh, and also the guitar tabs on your page don't work properly, tho I'm sure that's been brought to your attention by now. =3
Definitely not as involved in music as he used to be, he plays with a live band every once in awhile called Hautahuah but they only have like 2 original songs (good ones) and the rest are just band covers of Carson's other stuff, specifically Watchers and Quickly. I have a couple ripped MP3s of live performances because I like them so much
Rank Savage I have a hard time believing someone at this level of artistry would not be as involved with music - perhaps not publicly or using this name...the guy is super low key
ive been trying to figure out this, i have some parts tabbed, i dont know much about theory, but it looks like its constructed around the altered scale (probably he doesnt even know/care/thought about this), i commented a few day ago but it seems no ones realy interested (at least other guitar players) thats a shame...
Still one of the most beautiful compositions I've ever heard. I've been listening to this for probably 12 years now
I find myself coming back to this video every so often. Thanks for keeping this video up. It's a truly nice song that has aged really well considering it's been a decade already...
hell yeah! me too.
Same
For sure!! I just was thinking one day this could just be lost. I want to archive it.
Same here
been coming here for years, don't think I'll ever stop
6:45 has to be one of my favorite sections in this song. so awesome!
Absolutely. Great ending riff
i come back to this every year since years and think what carson is doing now?! 2020
I know he most recently played bass for this: modernman916.bandcamp.com/album/modern-man
wow. i know i’m gonna come back to this video over and over again in the future
Man...this dude needs to make a solo album. I've listened to this atleast 50x
He has an album with this song on it. Check out his bandcamp!
Man this guy never gets boring, it almost feels like meditation through guitar. Love the take away show feel also.
how many thousand times has he played this alone?
lo más increíble es que vos pensás que cada parte que toca es como el punto álgido del tema, pero no, cada parte que toca es mejor que la anterior. sublime.

Loving the way this sounds, first time hearing this now.
I listen to this almost every day. It's amazing every time
One of the best videos on RUclips
To hear a good example of this technique on bass, check out his work with Hella on "There's No 666 In Outer Space" song/album.
Absolute devotion. Thanks Carson
This always gives me peace.
carson, you are the coolest. your commitment is palpable
Humility, metaphysical treasure.
Wisdom, you that drain me with your grief waters.
Ladder that takes me to the bottomless abyss.
Towards up.
Towards the light.
Calm down.
Don´t collapse.
There´s still something to live for.
The puzzle can be completed.
Even if its pieces change all the time.
And to top it all it´s finite, in its never ending.
He couldn´t even suspect what had happened.
Wounds where healing.
But the body was still decomposing, in beautifull and delirious forms.
"Humility, metaphysical treasure/ Wisdom, you that drain me with your grief waters". Beautiful verses...
I don't normally say stuff like this about music, but something about his playing has a sense of violence to it
Am I the only one getting that?
it might be because he is plucking the strings much harder then most people do, something i usually get yelled at for lol
I get you dude, i'ts totally there.. but for me there's something vulnerable inside as well..
I'm not sure that that's the sound of him picking harder. I think the archtop guitar he's playing doesn't have the same level of volume that we're used to hearing out of an acoustic guitar, so the sound of plucking the string stands out more.

Listen to FACE TAT
Apparently this song is called Watchers, pretty cool :)
I think I have contributed 80K views.
not the only one
i keep coming back. i see i'm not the only one
Absolutely mindblowingly amazing. This is completely, I don't even know. Just so incredible. You are one of my new favorite musicians. Beautiful.
I think it's the simplicity of the video that makes it so amazing
thanks carson.. I listen to rhis song wen I need to feel like getting of this planet
since this was upload.. upon 8 years surely
back again, it's like fine wine

Have you got this tab ready by any chance bro?
@@georgewood682 It should be up on Ultimate Guitar now
This sound like a combination of clasical music and nintendo
i love the classic era sounds ! play some my self ! / strange the name carson doe,s that ? lol
c# standard bro. So you can still play it in standard tuning, Carson's just tuned down a couple steps.
Math rock + folk = this awesomeness?!
This video always brings me peace.
watched it through once . . . and i gotta watch it again fucking incredible
He is truly a guitar god
Beautiful, brother! Thanks for making my day better
I was looking for you all my life..
I can't help but to watch this everytime I'm bored.
Inable to reach the center, always swiming towards it.
Chamanic ninja techniques where requiered to right that wrong.
And leave it just like it was. Free.

nearly 10yrs old!
great song !
where did this man come everything from his style of playing to the song itself is fucking amazing
Wow, blown away, really quite good.
=' )
Thanks a lot dude, i REALLY hope you're actually carson cause we would love to talk more bout music with you
cheers!
Fucking Beautiful.
This guy has no social ntwork whatsowever, only a bandcamp. Someone get him a publicist!!
this is beautiful.
"classical" in the sense that you need to have an ear for what came before to understand what happens later. Whole different level of guitar playing. The guy definitely suffered to write the song.
Anyone know who makes the guitar and where I can snag a recording of this song?
Song is called Watchers, it's on his album SNDLPVN.
lovely that guitar.
This is the greatest thing I have ever heard.
nice video, good rythm to it. my name is Nic McWhirter by the way
hypnotic
He’s back
I know he released a bunch of tabs a super long time ago does anyone still have this one? I will forever be in debt to the person who’s held on to it this long.

Check out Egberto Gismonte if you like this video, brazilian musician.
He's so cool thanks!
'clasical swamp' I dig.
110% amazing
I could do that. It's just that.. you know, I just don't feel like it.
loved the colours and the sounds in this video, amazing guitar playing, what is your inspiration and what is your music usually based upon. it's very beautiful. i also liked the camera work

1.25 speed is incredible
I was stunned / stoned for 8:07 minutes....

enjoy www.dropbox.com/s/565oo8ua9jvrd3q/WatchersVideoVersion.txt?dl=0
Ughhh thank you
love it.
Looks like he has had classical training.
I hadn´t even consider that possibility. Maybe just because of his stetics, which is pretty sad of me. Maybe he is just a lonely free genious. I don´t know. I´m still amazed of watching this beauty...
too damn good
he just dives into astral pools, mind first, for inspiration
8000+ views, good on ya m8 ;)
And if there's any site's that host your tab of this song I'd love to get a link, I think I can learn a lot from it.
this is f*$#king very good
Anyone know what kinda guitar hes using?
close your eyes and listen and sink deep
@TheDanification It's not the same one, but Godin makes one. Check out their 5th Avenue Kingpin model. You can get them as an acoustic or with one or two P90's. Cool guitar and has gotten pretty good reviews.

stunning
How do you compose like this :O?
Hes sound its near to the Omar Rodríguez L'opez sound
+Albert Flowers oh my god i was thinking about Omar listening to this too, imagine a collaboration between them!
ueueueueueeu i like it carson lópez enssamble!
jesus? is that you?
i fucking hate the cameraman
@@NoLoveDeepWebbb it was probably fuckin Andy

Oh, and also the guitar tabs on your page don't work properly, tho I'm sure that's been brought to your attention by now. =3
What the hell is he doing now days? Make more of this.
He's got a new band and he's still amazing hautahuah.bandcamp.com/album/sketch-comedy
Definitely not as involved in music as he used to be, he plays with a live band every once in awhile called Hautahuah but they only have like 2 original songs (good ones) and the rest are just band covers of Carson's other stuff, specifically Watchers and Quickly.

wow, thank you so much.
genial.
Is that ring the source of your power?
What instrument is that?
a guitar
***** You should post some videos of your using it, they have such a great sound.
***** lold
8 minutes of god threw a guitar.
I didn't. The reason being that I simply took the text tab he made and put it into Guitar Pro. I didn't even finish the whole thing, hahah.
Carson, dude, you need to explain the final slide part better, pleaaaase :D!!!
ive been trying to figure out this, i have some parts tabbed, i dont know much about theory, but it looks like its constructed around the altered scale (probably he doesnt even know/care/thought about this), i commented a few day ago but it seems no ones realy interested (at least other guitar players) thats a shame...
he's one hell of a guitarist. i hope he has some new projects in the works.
Cheers, man
I'm totally mezmerized
that's it, i'm growing a full beard
Anyone know what tuning this is in?
give me that guitar.
Dude i think this might be my new favorite guitarist. Does this song have a name?
