This video is 15 years old??! Damn this is literally my childhood. I was 13 back then and I started listening to hard rock and metal. This video is iconic!!
I discovered this video when i was 13 years old sitting on the toilet. Here i am at 25, revisiting this masterpiece while also on the toilet. Weird how things work like that.
I watched this as a teenager for the last time I guess and I found it just some seconds ago.... Well THATS a weird feeling now! Im happy that others have some nostalgic feelings too! ;D
Many years ago when I was randomly trolling around for a new music channel I found this video something like 6 years ago. You entertained me with 1 string and intentional overacting. Some professional artists couldn't do that for me with 6 strings and putting forward a serious show.
The way this video shaped my life is unreal. Because of this video I got into rock and heavy metal and into playing guitar as well. It may seem stupid but it really did change my life for the better. I will never be able to repay you, thank you so much.
I remember I was a teenager when I commented, in Spanish, that this video wasn't an improvisation... Not sure what I wanted to prove back then, but I came back just to say this is one of the best guitar videos on youtube. So talented. Good use of palm mute. Perfect tempo. Wild-right hand technique. Hope I can become at least the half talented as you are. Keep on rocking!
Saw this video when it was just on RUclips, still I come back now and then to rewatch this masterpiece. Funny how one random video can hang in your mind for so long
wow i remember watching him all the time as a kid he made guitar playing look so much funner i tried to learn from his videos i wanted to be just like him. i even wished i had that sg, those were the days.
Just found this gem again. I remember when this was uploaded when I just got into Metal. I was 16 back then. man, time flies. Good times, good times...
Digging through the history of the Internet, what a delightful discovery: Rick Moranis played guitar, and posted videos of it on his MySpace page. Good times
I remember watching this from when I started making guitar videos as well, way back when RUclips first started ( and way back when RUclips was great and not dominated by corporations, but that's another story )
I didn't really get why people were so mad at this guy. Then i realized that most people who search guitar videos on youtube are teenagers who are trying to learn guitar to impress girls. So most of them are probably just jealous of how crazy good this guy is at improvisation. And how he just doesn't even have to try at all. Some serious jealousy in these comments.
+casmatt1 I think they are mad because he got famous only using his face and natural humor (or something like that) I'm a bit mad too because i can do even better than this but im not that entertaining at all..
Years later and I randomly remembered this video. Glad to see this relic is still up ❤️ this video inspired me to get started with music and to have fun doing so. Thank you❤️
Discovered this when I was in elementary school . Now I’m 26 and I finally remembered the video name. I’m relearning guitar and I def wanna learn to play this whole improv
David MeShow, I think I may have been among the first to view this after it was first posted in 2007. Your playing is really good, but your antics are what makes this so fun. I accidentally stumbled upon this again this morning and I think I got as big of a kick out of it this morning as I did when I first saw it 8 yeas ago. HAHAHA. Perhaps the fact that I, too, have a slightly twisted mind is the reason I have enjoyed this so much. LOL. Nice job on the playing, and the comic relief is great, too. Keep Rockin', brother!
I used to watch this when I was in the 7th grade on the regular. I still get just as much enjoyment from it 13 years later. From 1:05 - 2:00 is my favorite. But the part at 1:35 will always be special to me. it was my favorite 13 years ago and still is to thos day!
was cleaning out some files on my computer and came across an unnamed mp3 file. it was the mp3 i downloaded of this ages ago in middle school and i immediately recognized it and came here.
2021 and this is still one of the best RUclips videos I've ever seen. Might even be the first I've ever watched. But he's not wrong...this is the best guitar improvisation ever.
I was 10 years old when my dad show me this video, he was playing and teaching me guitar at that time. And the evening when we used to play, he was mimicking this video to make me smile... Woaw, what a great memories, Thankyou David !
i used to watch this all the time back in 2010 ive grown up now and i play the Guitar now very well, so pretty much you got me into playing guitar thank you
And still people think he is fake. Luckily, David can do much better, as you can see on his channel. By the way, Djent is a whole genre you can play with one string only...
Trexx Unlike most people, rather than saying "you suck", i'm going to give you some constructive criticism. Even though he is using only 2 strings, you can play every single note on the guitar still just in 2 different octaves. Guitar/music isn't just about who can play all the strings as fast as they can, every person has their own gifts, and skill sets that makes their guitar playing Unique, but NOT BETTER than anyone else's. If everyone played guitar the same way, music would be boring, hopeless, and corrupt. You haven't even looked at David's channel, or his newer vids they've become more innovate, and creative. So why judge a book by it's cover? Why not explore and see what David's Music has to offer?
Well, I'm not critizicing the guy himself. I'm critizing the impact of the video and how some people really believe, that this is indeed awesome. I am a blues guy and I'm also not a fan of supespeed guitar playing. What I appreciate in guitar playing is something that somehow speaks to you, something that is worth listening to. I don't know why are you giving me that shit of this being unique and original, just a guy playing random riffs in drop D... there's a whole genre that does this you know.
Some people need to realize a couple things here: 1. This video was made for fun. Don't take it so damn seriously. 2. This guy moves his fingers over the fretboard in a way that CANNOT be imitated by someone who has never played guitar before. You need to be skilled at the instrument to be able to move your fingers like that.
As a guitarist, I can appreciate this type of thing, there are times that you just wanna dick around on the Bottom string(The big E...or actually D string) and it amuses me the amount of Negative Nancies here .... Dave you got talent as your other videos prove :-D
lol there should be an idiot filter for youtube... the video is a joke guys,,, pull your panties out of your cracks. His real music is actually quite catchy. Loved the Christmas special Dave, Hilarious!
It's crazy to see the comments and how many people found this as a kid, and got into metal, and guitar. Now I found it as a kid and have been binging these videos. I'm pretty sure I'm getting into this stuff, this rally is inspiring. Hella cool
This is one of the first guitar videos I watched when I first joined RUclips way back. The first was the famous Canon Rock guitar video.
Oh god that cannon rock guitarist was good !
Omg I forgot about Canon!
@@duelinglectrics YESSSSS
true! Same here!
agree
I come back to this video from time to time. 🔥
I'm watching it every year. The face impression is priceless.
First Time 2024 🤗
I’ll keep y’all in check
This video is 15 years old??! Damn this is literally my childhood. I was 13 back then and I started listening to hard rock and metal. This video is iconic!!
back here in 2023, still good ;)
I WAS 12-13 WHAAAT, seems like yesterday and the old days of good youtube!
I discovered this video when i was 13 years old sitting on the toilet. Here i am at 25, revisiting this masterpiece while also on the toilet. Weird how things work like that.
Basically the same
Some things never change...
You went to the toilet with your laptop? Lol. Good old times.
Haha no. I had an iPod touch back in the day
@@yourdowg I can't imagine what it felt like to have an iPod at 13 in 2007.
Damn I watched this video when I was a kid. RUclips is starting to get nostalgic here, being 10 years old and stuff.
Me too ;) And I always think the same thing is crap ... so easy !
Right? xD Time goes so fast! I cannot believe this was more than 10 years ago! Crazzzzy!!! :o
I watched this as a teenager for the last time I guess and I found it just some seconds ago.... Well THATS a weird feeling now! Im happy that others have some nostalgic feelings too! ;D
Same here!!
XrackProject this just happened to me haha
xD I should come more often to read all comments because a lot of them make me laugh a lot ! xD
Many years ago when I was randomly trolling around for a new music channel I found this video something like 6 years ago. You entertained me with 1 string and intentional overacting. Some professional artists couldn't do that for me with 6 strings and putting forward a serious show.
´nyes
YOU make me laugh! lol XD
At least the comments are funny! This guy is stupid as fuck!!
What the hell is a posser??? Damn, what a bunch of posers!!!
The way this video shaped my life is unreal. Because of this video I got into rock and heavy metal and into playing guitar as well. It may seem stupid but it really did change my life for the better. I will never be able to repay you, thank you so much.
You and me both mate
Me to
Thats crazy cause the guitar isn't even that good and his faces are obnoxious
This video needs to be archived into RUclipss Relics and National Treasures
What every guitarist is like when they find out about drop d
gandalf the grey exactly hahaha
gandalf the grey pretty much what happened when I learnt about drop d 😂
gandalf the grey exactly the thing i wanted to write
This comment wins hahaha
gandalf the grey what is "drop d"?
Lol, I remember back in 2008 where people kept bitching about the video being fake because the cable was almost invisible due to the pixely quality.
It would have been harder to do playback and to do exactly the same again. xD
***** indeed hahah
I remember that hahahaha
looool foreaaal
Nowadays no one even cares that people use backing tracks. lol
A classic video of youtube.
+3E WINNING 3E :D

Almost like Marty Friedman
1:34 still my favorite part even after 9 years :-D
absolutely!!!1
right! xD
Listen Amazon part 2 by the Melvins. It's a whole song with that riff
mine too! i was looking for someone who got me
Hahaha same here! Sexy rock 🤣
I've been re-watching this video every now and then since release. It's unreal how memorable and amazing it is. And it made me listen to metal too.
I remember going to RUclips the first time when I was like in 3rd grade and seeing this video. Now I'm 19.
Lol god damn I'm old! I was around 20 when we first got RUclips
same here
and still in third grade ;)
Same!!!
So you're a part of the 'No Internet' club. We are a special breed.

9 years and this guys facial expressions still kind of piss me off
The facil expressions are the best part, it's hilarious
YouCanCallMeReTro I like the music but it his expressions really piss me off
but yet you have been watching for 9 years and you dont like what he does? I smell.............................................
BULLSHIT!
It's just a way to really get into the music
That guy wants to give you a big hug! ;-)
Saw this video when it was just on RUclips, still I come back now and then to rewatch this masterpiece. Funny how one random video can hang in your mind for so long
Video should be called "Honey I had a stroke while playing the 6th string"
Best comment i have ever read xD
holy shit that is funny i fogot i wrote that XD
Weak af lol I just died. Thank you best thing I've read.
Pretty sure this was the first ever video I seen on RUclips! Still come back to it!
This was one of the first videos that i've ever seen on the internet, hope that you are still here dude, greetings from Brazil
Drop D has just changed my life
i know what you mean
LMFAO xD
Max Stolz It's called Drop D for a reason.
Shot through the neck no shit
Max Stolz It's Drop C# Tuning. 1 step lower.
THIS WAS THE REAL RUclips!
Art, talent, comedy and innovation!
Love that RUclips somehow managed to recommend me a playlist full of videos I used to watch over 15 years ago
Even after 7 years, I keep coming back to this video for the facial expressions
wow i remember watching him all the time as a kid he made guitar playing look so much funner i tried to learn from his videos i wanted to be just like him. i even wished i had that sg, those were the days.
I feel you!
Im feeling this bro!!
"Funner"
When you discover Drop D tuning.
LOL true, except I don't play that well
lol, I mostly use drop D , sometimes D# or D tuning
Drop C# you mean
Drop C and drop A are much better drop F is pretty cool too
akometiyal no one doscovers drop C# first lol
i first watched this when i was learning guitar and i still love it 15 years later
This video started Djent
severely underrates comment

I discovered this sick video on 2008..now its 2019..this guy still rocks!!
Thanks a lot! 🤘😎🤘
The fact that 2019 was 4 years ago just doesn't seem right..
Digging through the history of the Internet, what a delightful discovery: Rick Moranis played guitar, and posted videos of it on his MySpace page. Good times
I am Vinz, Vinz Clortho, Keymaster of Gozer. Volguus Zildrohar, Lord of the Sebouillia. Are you the Gatekeeper?
I remember watching this from when I started making guitar videos as well, way back when RUclips first started ( and way back when RUclips was great and not dominated by corporations, but that's another story )
Back when you could watch whole movies split in 10 minute parts🤣
everytime I come across this video I hate it, but after a few seconds I recall that you can actually play guitar very well and it calms me down lol
I know it is made as a joke mate :)
This guy is most definitely a joke!!!
***** Is this the only video you've seen by him?
***** make sure u go check out his other videos before being so quick to judge.
***** you must be kidding, have you even read my comment thoroughly before thinking to place a comment yourself?
Still watching in 2024. Childhood memories man
I forgot this existed! Omg this just popped up again I was 14 when I first saw this I’m 31 now! This is legendary!
same man :D
same ahah
That, my son, is what we call a youtube classic.
this guy inspired me to learn guitar, 12 years ago, wow
I'm so glad I finally found this video again. I'd been legit searching for years trying to remember the title
I didn't really get why people were so mad at this guy.
Then i realized that most people who search guitar videos on youtube are teenagers who are trying to learn guitar to impress girls.
So most of them are probably just jealous of how crazy good this guy is at improvisation. And how he just doesn't even have to try at all.
Some serious jealousy in these comments.
Probably that, but for me his face is just wildly annoying.
U said it brah, the guys who unlike the vid they r just jealous
+casmatt1 I think they are mad because he got famous only using his face and natural humor (or something like that)
I'm a bit mad too because i can do even better than this but im not that entertaining at all..
nailed it.
such a wise man

you can't just say that your guitar improv is the best ever

Yeah he can, it's the Internet. You see bullshit and lies everywhere, so this guy can do the same.

If Rick Moranis and that kid from A Christmas Story had a kid somehow, this guy would be that kid, lol
How do 2 men make a child?
***** brokeback mountain.
B...but guitar has more than two strings...
That has all six strings dude
I think he meant he was only playing two strings.

So true... Everything makes sense now
There is no reason in the world to have that much gain...
Explain why it's not?
I always max out my gain and the knobs on my guitar and keep the volume knob on my amp at like 1-2. It sounds just fine for me.
You can never have to much gain :)

Had to visit this video after so many years, I remember this from the golden era of YT! It was pretty funny back in the day, still funny tho...
Some of those riffs sounded a bit like system of a down inspired
I love system of a down ! :D It must be why.
Yeah, I thought that some of the riffs sounded pretty similar to Old School Hollywood.
