The current world record for the World's Largest Guitar Ensemble is 7423 - set this year at the Thanks Jimi festival in Wroclaw, Poland (both the 6346 and the 7411 ones were set the previous editions). You can still try to beat it just by coming to Wroclaw in May next year!
Can you imagine trying to bring up an important topic at band practice and there's 7,000 guitarists noodling and riffing and strumming and plucking and picking and palm-muting and slamming and sweeping and glitch picking and alt picking and flat picking and ebowing and chugging and shredding and djenting and tapping and 0000000ing all at the same time? Oh, and I almost forgot the guy in the back that doesn't know how to mute his pedal while tuning, and his friend who uses a beer bottle as a slide.
Man i've gotta give credit where credit is due. You are easily the most consistently original, music channel. Every one else seems like they're always clawing for new content, and then they start doing reaction videos and you know the channel is basically nearing it's death. But you sir are putting out good shit regularly. Props to you.
4:14 I forgot about that! TwoSet Violin caused the record to be retired after they roasted these two dudes who were formerly the fastest violin players because the quality was... bad.
I love how at 7:24, the old man just walks by, not minding what's going on. As if Sammy G trying to ride a unicycle while playing a guitar with a GoPro strapped to his head is a completely ordinary thing in that neighborhood 😂
Hey, the Thanks Jimi festival is organised in Wroclaw, Poland every year on the 1st of may. You should come next year! It's a celebration of all things guitar. I'm sure you could get yourself a spot on the main stage!
funny you mention the "cutting off a finger cutting an onion" thing. I cut off the tip of my ring finger cutting an onion. I couldn't play guitar for a couple months. Luckily it turned out that I because I'd built up some monster calluses from playing guitar so I basically just cut off calluses where I would've actually taken off a serious portion of my finger.
I think you might be my favorite person on youtube right now. I love the little things scattered through the video, and I love the way you've gone about format and such. From one musician to another, keep on rockin' dude!
I laughed too much... and half-choked myself while turning purple, y'mongrel... Still, I can't wait to see the video of you "...in a skin-divers’ suit 20 feet underwater playing Danny Boy in a kelp bed” (thank you Stan Freberg)... I dare's ya.. I double-dare's ya... :D [...seriously, Fanx! mate for the funnest video yet...]
I have to admit that I thought I set the world record for largest guitar ensemble...well, me and a few thousand other people playing Deep Purple in the UK. This was some time in the early '00s though and a bit of googling tells me this has been well and truly beaten since then. Shame. May attempt the headstand guitar one...I feel like that could be achievable. Also, how can you not know Flight of the Bumblebee?! It's the quintessential fast piece and it transcends all instruments. Anyway, I love how elaborate the filming setup for the unicycle guitar record attempt is: drone in the air, GoPro on the helmet and what looks like a pretty sweet DSLR in a handheld stabiliser all for a few seconds of falling off footage! That drone shot going down the street made it feel so much more epic than it actually was!
Thanks for getting me to look up fastest guitar restring lol. I used to try to string my Floyd Rose as fast as possible. I was under 10 minutes at one point which wasn't bad. Guy who taught me could do it in 5. The headstand challenge just reminded me I had gravity boots you would hang on a pull up bar to do inverted crunches. I tried doing a few playing guitar once. Good luck getting down once your tired though hahaha.
hey man, hope you shot this before the start of June as that drone shot could land you a nasty fine. Unless you did in fact get someone who passed the advanced course to pilot it that close to people, in that case my bad not trying to call you out.
The unicylcle part was sooo funny, man :D haha I remember when i bashed on you in a comment on UG to which you responded. Since then i've been watching your videos... a lot :D and i love them!
When you ride a unicycle you need to keep your eyes forward so your body automaticallly find its balance. if you look down you are immediately off balance
I like to imagine that every Canadian street has a hockey goal permanently installed and the cars just drive around it while a designated government official apologizes to each of them individually
The guitarist/keyboard player in one of my old bands had the idea to unicycle up to the bandstand while playing his wireless electric guitar. So we started the song and waited for him to come cycling up. Two minutes go by and no guitarist. He finally comes up holding his left arm up in the air. He went about 3 feet, fell off and broke his wrist. He played one-handed keyboard for the rest of the gig. Hey, the show must go on.
so I was walking down the street and I saw a Asian man on a unicycle playing the guitar
That's a joke!

You could stuff like 2,000 guitar picks into an acoustic guitar and have a world record for most guitar picks stuck in a guitar.
which leads to stuff like what even is a pick and what size of guitar are we talking about...they're tired of stuff like that
@@derkeksinator17 k, how about....most zombies killed by battle axe guitar?
@@freedustin which leads to stuff like when was the guitar last sharpened and do the zombies have any health problems
He would have bought 2000 pick and by them time he got home ready to put it into the guitar there would only be 3 left
