Dude Mike if you wanna give us an intermission at 8:09 at least give us some cheesy elevator music. Also washboard solo guy is amazing. Anyone who wakes up one morning and says to themselves "I'm gonna tear up a washboard solo tonight" gets an A in my class.
stx I used to attend a youth group as a teenager and the guy there used to spike his hair and pretend he was down with the youth and used to brag constantly about how much he loved metal; I approached him to test his knowledge and he just flat out denies being into metal
I lost at the second video. I don't feel bad for the players not having an instrument anymore, I feel bad for the actual guitar, which is weird because it's an inanimate object.
As much as I adore the '-does pop better' and SSF stuff, these kinds of videos are amazing for your channel imo, you're a great personality and getting to know you better is really entertaining.
Dahlia Olive It looked as if he were doing “the chicken dance” in slow motion. This is just further proof that white people, such as myself, should just stay off the dance floor.
Really appreciate your performance tips that really apply to any venue where there’s a band and audience. I remember playing a coffeehouse gig with musicians and we performed a piece which I also was very familiar. I have never been comfortable with soloing but I had spent a good amount of time practicing this piece and had some confidence playing a tasteful little acoustic solo. When I began playing I looked to the drummer and he nodded and said “yeah”. When performing with a band you are part of a team and need to be able to communicate with each other. His approval was what I needed to relax, enjoy the moment, and feel it. The moment was amazing and the response was so nice. Performance etiquette is one of the least talked about facets about being a musician and really does separate the genuine players from the douches. Thanks man.
Mike! Big fan of your channel. The backstory to that clip at 4:49 was at a show in my local town. The frontman is named Nathaniel Kinsey and that guitar player had actually planned for that whole thing to happen. He left the stage and there was a car waiting for him outside and he bolted
Try not to laugh challenges are the only challenges that are not Bullshit.If you dont want to headbang sing or dance along to something or whatever you dont have to.But it can be hard to hold your laugh inside.
I can agree to that. I still like the try not to sing challenges because I love singing, and they're genuinely difficult for me when they don't consist of pop music nonsense, rap, or hip-hop. You are right, though. They are kind of bullshit, and the same songs make it into nearly every video. Makes them easy after a while, and not worth the time.
Hey, man. Awesome video! That advice at the end was super inspiring and useful to me! THANK YOU! I've been playing thirteen years and I can't read music and don't practice a huge amount. I also have my own style and try to feel what I play but those words of wisdom are super good. I'll take them to heart. Being yourself when playing is one thing but it's better to have some solid understanding of your instrument and a healthy respect for your fellow musicians. Keep up the awesome work, dude and Happy New Year!
4:48 yes there's a backstory about it, in the original video the guy throwing his guitar commented on it, explaining what was happening. Can't remember the title of it sadly.
$15??????? Jim Dunlop makes straplocks that are like $3 (I'm guessing, 'cos they cost £1.50 in England). I've been using these for 20+ years and I never had a guitar spin fail (and I did a shit load of these when I was young).
I knew a guitarist that was super full of himself. To the point you couldn't even compliment him on anything because he'd just respond with "well yeah, I'm a real musician." not even sarcastically. The dude just literally had his head that far up his own ass.
I freakin' want that shirt sooooooo badly!!!! And the people commenting on Mike's bandana....he's from Tennessee...nuff' said. Lololololol. Loved it Mike!
@ 6:44: I've seen that video a few times and it's hilarious, but I always figured it was staged. I hope it isn't, but something about it makes me think it is.
You can only pull the Hendrix solo off if you're absolutely sure the majority of your crowd is on LSD and is sure to remember whatever happens fondly, lol...
Great point at the end about practice and show etiquette. The idea of playing faster than your capabilities is counterintuitive but it works. Awesome rant!
I think I may have slipped up a little throughout...but I really failed at the same part you first did. I mean...that's just priceless! That's some proper Laurel and Hardy/3 Stooges shit right there.
8:27 I can’t believe my eyes, this is the school I am currently going to, used to be Zion Lutheran High School, now it’s Somerset academy key, I am embarrassed to have been in that same gymnasium those two fools are playing in, what a depressing sight.

Lmao.
Yeah he looks funny

Mike looks so metal with that pink shirt and the bandana, amazing.
Are you sure about that?

stx I used to attend a youth group as a teenager and the guy there used to spike his hair and pretend he was down with the youth and used to brag constantly about how much he loved metal; I approached him to test his knowledge and he just flat out denies being into metal
A trve threat
Where did the guitar spin thing even come from and why do guitarists keep attempting to do it
LazySkull more importantly, has it ever actually worked?
The same guy that tries to carry all of the chairs to the group circle to really show the girls there who is the alpha

hi
Let this not distract us that Arin still owes Dan $60
Dan took all of Arin's assets in that game though, so he met his maker.
Dan always deserves the win, too bad he almost never gets it.
But Arin got some cosmic bad luck because of it
You right

“Just the Two of Us” singer......I’ll call him “Mr. Happy Elbows” looked possessed. Not sure by what, exactly....😂

Michael Suder that is the greatest comment i've seen in this entire comment section
That trumpet thing will always get me
I was trying not to laugh with you, but your laugh kept making me laugh, its so contagious!
Gotta have respect for a man who can get laid by playing a washboard
That 7:14 break was the greatest and perfect example of why we all subscribe. Thank you, Mike.

Chemos hard mike, but you'll get through it. Good luck
1:34 "That's fucking hilarous"
Couldn't have expressed it better 😂
Exist Alpha a
4:37 the guitarist was saying something in the mic and the singer interrupted him, probably a last straw kind of thing.
The guy with his elbows up reminded me, that move was what disco duck was based on.
I enjoy how he looked like he was gonna murder someone the whole video until 7:14 when he just burst in laughter at the guy getting hit by that bass.
Mike! Big fan of your channel. The backstory to that clip at 4:49 was at a show in my local town. The frontman is named Nathaniel Kinsey and that guitar player had actually planned for that whole thing to happen. He left the stage and there was a car waiting for him outside and he bolted
Was it prank and he came back, or did he do to try and be cool?
“Good.”
11:05 Jimmy Page sounds different.
EDIT: I think it's the Strat. I've never heard him play a Strat before.
GrayEcho that’s about what his Stairway to Heaven solo sounded like on the “Live Aid” concert.

I loooove this video!! And this channel is my favorite. One of the only youtube channels that I watch every video that comes out! ❤❤
Thanks for the good vibes Taylor
@@BecomeTheKnight just telling how it is! I watch your try not headbang challenge every time I get drunk, because I know I will and it's awesome lmao
I don't get the guitar spinning. Even if it's pulled off correctly, it's done by people with garbage guitar tone. What's the point?
MagCynic sTyLe
Look at alexi laihos guitar flips. Awesome
Janick Gers from Iron Maiden does it every once in a while and not because his guitar tone is shit.
I first saw Ray de Tone do it, and he's a great player.
What does guitar “tone” have anything to do about with guitar spinning? And what do you define guitar “tone” as?
I sometimes get the feeling I'm becoming diluted of my playing till I watch one of these lol

Primus fans hears guitar solo “I don’t see what’s so bad about it”

Now I want Mike to explain why he doesn't like The Grestful Dead
Because they're shite, next?
@@jackfrancom1999 What a nuanced explanation.
I was a bit of a cunt with that answer. I'm sorry.
I like the Grateful Dead... I'm not going to try to act like they're one of the greatest rock bands of all time, but I like their music.
TheHappySpaceman i agree they are a good band but not one of the greatest
When you laughed it vindicated you. You have a heart man! How can you not laugh through this?! :p
7:14 had me laughing so hard
is this called "try not to get pissed and insult everyone in the video" if so then you nailed it.
The cowboy playing the trumpet and then losing his shit made me laugh way to fucking hard.

That last guy could have played 3 notes soulfully and been a hero instead of that dumpster trash he did

Great video Mike... thank you for the insights! Hope we get to see another of these videos soon enough
Haha, finally found u
"Imma spin my guitar. I saw it online. It looks cool." Too cheap to spend $15 on some strap locks. *GENIUS!*
$15??????? Jim Dunlop makes straplocks that are like $3 (I'm guessing, 'cos they cost £1.50 in England).
I've been using these for 20+ years and I never had a guitar spin fail (and I did a shit load of these when I was young).
I love when hundreds of thousands of dollars in gear is destroyed he’s just says
“good”
2:00 straight from R. Kelly’s trial
7:13 Best moment.
I wish someone would edit a failed quicktime event on the "Just the Two of us" clip.
hahahah "keep your fucking elbows down"
guys someone please give me a link to the washboard solo video the original is unavailable and I need that video so bad.
You look like Deion Sanders meets Mike from Suicidal Tendencies
3:36 looks like a facetime call

6:32 now there is.
I’m failing because every time someone’s spin goes wrong I laugh at your commentary
Little confused...@ 1:30 did he do something, was that avoidable, or did the guitar just say "no means no"?
Hey! I just got to your channel and I absolutely love it!
Me: about to laugh but successfully containing.
Mike: (with zero emotion) that’s ducking hilarious
Great video mate! Cheers!
That Marshall stack falling over killed me inside.
Yes that was steel panther, and I'm pretty sure it was on purpose
