Christmas Light Hero

[@stratolicious3324]

Officially time to watch this again! :D

[@jacktellner646]

This is my _first_ time! I only knew his Angry Birds one, and I stupidly didn’t check the description, for however he did it, to this video. 😎🤩

[@WX4CB]

@@jacktellner646 and time to watch iot again this year lol

[@wmx99]

The only thing "fake" would be real-time playing to the light sequence; as in the Wii connected to the controller board. One can use software such as LOR to duplicate the exact sequence to the song as in the game (on easy in this case) then just pretend to play along. With the timing in sync, you could start the real game and the light sequence at the same time and technically play off the garage lights. I like the originality of this idea. Pretty cool!

[@chuckiej]

@thyljia It's probably all LEDs, far more efficient than a few years ago, so no, not really. This is awesomeness.

[@wizardofmaz]

This is quite possibly one of the most badass things I've ever seen. I'm still in awe. Mad props to the designer/creator/INGENIOUS inventor of such a thing.

[@virtualbush]

THIS IS! the winner of our Neighborhood light wars thread! RIGHT'ON MAN! What skill it takes to program and plan all this. Hats off! Most will never know that love. And so cool to share with the kids. Your a blessed man..And an artist of your own! GO! GO! hugz

[@DaviMTinhatyu]

Dude, 10 years and you are still cool. Thank you for this!

[@Sandrock1978]

The best is the tree out front. The lights surrounding it hit right on with the mark with the tempos. Great job on the fathers part making it.

[@Serenityx117]

OMG where is this place it is such awesomeness O.O

[@exactimages]

Incredible!!!! This is amazing and very creative!! I bet it took a lot of work to set up! You picked one of the best songs off GH3 too!! Way to go, great job!!!!

[@AGentertainmentofficial]

The parents that did this for this kid are fuckin' amazing. You gave your son memories to last a life time. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

[@madmiask]

always a fan in 2013 : you really are the master of the mix between lights and game.

[@iammaxhailme]

Also, great song choice.

[@FluffyJetProductions]

Spectacular Christmas lights show! Absolutely epic! :)

[@Blazingbangs]

This is a Christmas tradition in our home! Thanks for the craftsmanship and joy this brings. From the Demuth Crew to you and yours, Merry Christmas!!

[@pokemaster1012]

Just got finished watching the story on Yahoo News, all I can say is WOW. That is so awesome! It must've taken a lot of hard work and dedication to be able to make a working Guitar Hero board on the garage!

[@5MadMovieMakers]

The new Guitar Hero game is looking good

[@Jackass5892]

I want to meet the mastermind behind this whole set up. Way to rock the holidays kid. Overly amazing set up!!! Not to mention kick ass choice of song!

[@JerryCherryPie]

Very awesome! Entertaining the whole way through! I loved all the subtle touches, like the lights going up the tree matching the beats, and the star glowing when they hit high notes, and all the light dances. Wish more youtube videos were like this, instead of crap people just threw together in 5 minutes.

[@madmiask]

I loved it when I discovered it 10 years ago and still find it very cool today.

[@berrygoodstuff]

Heard about this on the radio this morning - howza, what a kid and what great parents to pay the electric bill! Just really out there, thanks for posting this - imagine it will be all over the world before long with hits.

[@juishjaknife]

well played...even more props to whoever took the time to set up all those lights!

[@kjkc34]

Best Christmas lights I've seen this year, by far!

[@MechaBlazeEagle]

That is awesome! I admire & appreciate this incredible display! Merry Christmas & God bless to this displays creator as well as all the viewers of this display! All the scrooges need to chill out & enjoy this for what is. An INCREDIBLE Christmas light display!!

[@kemocaj]

Favorite Guitar Hero song plus awesome Christmas lights...what's not to love?!

[@MaxForrest]

the ending was epic

[@jacktellner646]

After I got done watching for _first_ time, I half-sped through the video with ending being a quarter-sped!

[@besen85]

I just love the imagination that people put in to light shows they are fantastic love the video wonder if they will try and top this one next year

[@DJSteezy]

i wonder what expert looks like? lol

[@snottyxraygirl]

Too cool! The song is awesome in itself, that was a heck of a show,dude.Congrats however you do it!

[@MrRottincorps]

I love this. I have been to your house for the last 3/ 4 years, and injoy the work and the out come of your hard work. keep it up Great job!

[@KaikanoSei]

I think I've watched this at least 10 times in the last few months. It's an awesome light show! I love it! :)

[@XRedxHairedxBeautyX]

Oh my gosh these have to be the most EPIC Christmas lights EVER made.

[@stantheman1976]

Eric Johnson - "Cliffs Of Dover"

[@webb264]

The song is Cliffs Of Dover by Eric Johnson from the CD Ah Via Musicom. Great music.

[@bandgeek1321]

I love the end when all the lights spaz out! So awsome

[@mcreynoldsishard]

Eric Johnson Cliffs of Dover I'm just impressed a kid his age even knows the song. Rockin!!!

[@LycanTreek]

This is the best piece of art EVER!

[@rebeccasalick]

Please do a behind the scenes video! This is awesome!

[@claireuze]

this has got to be the coolest thing i have EVER seen!

[@kenporich2006]

That was VERY cool. Good choice of music too. Great job. Merry Christmas.

[@johnmike1792]

Saw this on Sportsnation. Absolutely love it

[@Nire]

the work required to wire the lights like that alone is impressive. the song is pretty catchy too. Bump

[@MikeBites]

Incredible work!! Way to keep Christmas fresh!!!!!!!!! Absolutely incredie

[@rockergirl67]

That is completely KICK ASS from one ROCKER to ANOTHER!!! ROCKTASTIC!!! Merry Christmas!!! xoxo

[@whitegrey50]

Merry Christmas Little Man! Very Talented.

[@Slynk]

electricity bill fail.

[@rebeccasew]

I can hear the gears turning in my son's mind! What a show!!

[@LannaSan]

how the hell did you pull this off....this is truly epicness at it's best

[@scar277265]

This is amazing. You absolutely made my day. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[@rixoff]

You know, I've got one of these lighting controllers. I just wish I had the creativity to come up with something like this. This is a definite win!

[@Vox1295]

This is what the Home Alone kid does with christmas lights and Guitar Hero 3...priceless.

[@SuburbianKnights]

This must of takin' freakin days to put up. I applaud you for having patience.

[@Face_RC]

This was my favorite track, love Cliffs of Dover!

[@gptjchip]

HOLY CRAP!!! When my spectrum teacher told me about it, I thought it wouldn't be this good! You must be into Christmas a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dmnxCGi]

5 stars because it's eric johnson's music! one of the greatest guitar virtuoso. don't even talk about the likes of slash, he's not in eric's league, not even close

[@33apd]

Fantastic! Nice work Merry Christmas Vermonster

[@dilithium72]

I want to see a close-up of his electricity meter. It's probably going up faster than I can count! Great stuff. Well done, Sir!

[@Riddick23384]

Holy crap that was cool. The timing with the lights were also kick ass!

[@MFMOMX]

This was absolutely mind blowing and fun! Thanks Ric!!

[@iammaxhailme]

Fucking awesome job. *favorite*

[@ForestOfSleep]

this is the greatest Xmas light display EVER!!!!

[@elldirt]

Nothing like going outside to play a video game on a garage in the middle of winter to freeze your ass off. Special ed guitar hero edition.

[@baseballkidd555]

Very cool. Playing Guitar Hero on your house will do wonders for getting the kids off the TV. Get the neighbors engaged as well. Every neighborhood should have a Guitar Hero House. Would love to see TTFAF on a house.

[@JeniLutz]

I found this video because I heard it on HLN Robin Mead's morning Express...this is freakin awesome...my kids would love this...

[@DrkPhoenixSaga]

Looks like the tree is the only part that went along with the music but still really well done.

[@mistysilence2]

"Reportedly, Turner found a way to plug his trusty Nintendo Wii into the inputs of these magical lighting controllers, which in turn allowed him to convert his 21,268 lights into a playable (albeit highly challenging) version of the insanely popular video game." that's apparently how he did it according to the article that led me here.

[@missyA1958]

AWESOME! My son plays this, and said he wished he had a light show like that ! Fantastic Job!

[@mysticwolf11]

this is the most epic succeed I have seen in a while.

[@starrgrrrlpoledance]

This is awesome!!!! Happy Holidays!

[@domokunist]

AWESOME!!!! Probably the BEST light show EVER!!!!

[@tuxchad]

@MsMmmm4444 This is Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover. I love this song.

[@SeviRais]

So amazing! Great video and light show!

[@antwan867]

It must b a pain taking all those x mas lights down

[@naruto0x10]

THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW EPIC THIS IS!!!!!

[@gary20o]

Cool. :D

[@omgitsaaron]

This is a really neat concept, but it would have been 10x cooler to see it on hard or expert. Then again, that would take a LOT of work syncing that up, so i'm not surprised they went with easy mode. Very creative, maybe they'll add more next year & have the lights coincide more with the music (like the red lights on the pseudo tree following the ascending/descending paths of notes)

[@tdonachie]

Love the 4:18 mark! Coolest Dad on the block!!

[@CEOTerminator]

Little DEVIL! How they sync the light and the music so perfectly...

[@JonnyFlash80]

This is so amazing. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

[@ShadowWolfRising]

that must have been one badass christmas

[@BusChik320]

ok, got a good look at it throughout the video.. thats just "sleeves" on a rope, spun around the tree? how many channels? And I saw the guitar strings, just ropelight, with strings in a circle for the four "note points". Really good "weber"!!

[@yukigiou5038]

I saw this in music class today and it was awesome!

[@TonyDaTaiga808]

So awesome! Keep on rocking you lil Christmas Hero! =D

[@Hellblaue210]

I'm a christmas light freak and I give this 5 stars. Rock on!

[@stkygrnz]

This is totally impressive! 6 outta 5 stars all the way!

[@Ladysilverbeam]

If you read the article, it really is set to guitar hero!!!! He plugged the wireless wii remote things into the light controls, SO THIS IS REAL! So cool!

[@phreeck988]

@Philmymonkey Im gonna say yes. I imagine he sync'd the lights to the easy version of the song and the kid is actually playing the wii version of guitar hero on the tv next to him.

[@stormfancy]

FANTASTIC!!!!! Very creative! I think you did a GREAT JOB!!!

[@divinitysalon]

He is playing it. You can see the TV at the end of the video. The Xmas lights are just reacting to the music. That was really cool. And that is Eric Johnson, Not Satriani.

[@YoderBawlz]

Man that was awsome that's the best Christmas light display I ever saw

[@iambac]

They are so miserable, they hate everthing, and the only way they can feel good about themselves is to put other people down, this is a great video, and it took a lot of hard work by Father and Son together to make it Great, thanks for allowing us to see.

[@wentkat]

This is too cute! Of course, any reason to listen to Eric Johnson works for me!

[@Cleverconveyence]

Danny already FC'd these Christmas lights.

[@iseekgolf]

Great vid - be nice to give Eric Johnson a plug in your info about the video seeing as he provides the awesome guitar soundtrack behind it.

[@olifen86]

This was fantastic kid! Well done!!

[@sidmalicious]

Fawk it - I'm just gonna go up on the roof with my guitar and amp and jams with the lights I already hung!

[@CheerMajorette]

LMAO, the guy in the van who drove by was probably like "........."

[@cappy6921]

@cepivon for putting up the lights ya,,lets see the dad rock it on the guitar,lol

[@armortron]

yo DJ, you'll love this dude

[@KirkTheRiffer]

Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson... amazing artist check out all his other stuff! its all great.

[@questionvids]

Awesome light show!
