4:05 literal sweep picking

[@samuraiguitarist]

Lol amazing pun

[@mongarcia9151]

Wait what? I can finally learn sweep picking!

[@fudgesauce]

Sammy, how many times during shooting this did you say to yourself, "This is not my beautiful music! This is not my beautiful tone! My God, what have I done!?"

Everyone else: "Hold my beer!" ChiliDog: Multitasks

[@Meatball996]

The paintbrush guitar actually sounded beautiful. It sort of blends the sound of each string together as you strum. I like it.

[@samuraiguitarist]

I will legitimately use it at some point again in my life

[@-jank-willson]

@@samuraiguitarist use it for heavy metal music

[@DaP84]

It became percussive with that small brush with shorter bristles. Kinda like jazz brushes for drums

[@richardamantite678]

Let me know what you think of these guitar techniques: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqTTgXavhdJ4sKcsi=ZMu1IQLH3RPhf-AJ

[@derpsincorporated6539]

Chillidog's tone was awesome.

[@elcompaqueso5214]

Nah that green screen effect is Incredible I could see someone doing this for a music video 🔥

[@benjaminwolper1729]

Kind of reminds me of the Dire Straits Money For Nothing video where they’ve got the neon overlays.

[@RedVarg91]

Green screen fretboard looks fun but I still prefer Kmac2021 idea of green screen guitar. I've painted my $100 Cort green and it worked like a charm. Shrekcaster for the win

[@Dellvmnyam]

But you know what happend to Kmac

[@lt.reubenrozeyt5716]

That green screen neck was f**** amazing

[@samuraiguitarist]

Right?! I feel like Mangazi has it completely dialed in too. Mine could still use some work

[@VesterDude]

It would be cool to send it to an animator so they could animate something that reacts and interacts with the playing.

[@nickelfilmstudios5005]

@@samuraiguitarist i saw somewhere in his comments he just motion tracks EVERYTHING in adobe ae, no greenscreen at all

[@freedustin]

Would be a lot cooler if it were an OLED + epoxy fretboard...then it would work offline.

[@DaP84]

@@VesterDude have "Guitar Hero" on the neck lol

[@WhoWatchesVideos]

The guy with the green screen fretboard probably also has some tracking dots on there so that the effect can, well, track on the fretboard - or maybe he just tracks it with other high-contrast marks on the guitar. Once you get used to the workflow, it's really effective (and fairly painless if you have your camera and lighting set up right).

[@freedustin]

fretboards typically already come with tracking dots.

[@WhoWatchesVideos]

​@@freedustin Hah, you're right, though you'd have to cut them out of whatever you're covering the fretboard with unless the fretboard is already a matte uniform color.

[@tahoemike5828]

If you spill the beer on a Strat, does it transform into a Tele? Ya know, in the way that a Violin is a Fiddle that has never had beer spilled on it.

[@aa23music]

love these types of videos bro - that drill looked so fun

[@MrSchism]

Dave Navarro using a "marital aid" on the trem springs worked well.

[@rogermox1011]

As an introvert, i can confirm that social media knows me better than most people in my life

[@IndigoBassNotes]

Wrong. Social media doesnt know you either, here is a secret for you. Social media isnt real life. People think it is but its a carefully edited, mixtutre of video, text and pictures YOU want to represent you. Thats not a real experience. Looking at a picture of a specially perpared cheese burger isnt the same as eating it. Live with a person for a few years ...then they know you. They see your messy life, smell your bathroom efforts, see you drooling as you sleep, hear you say stupid stuff unedited....now thats real.

[@FISHYFILMPRODUCTIONS]

I love the paintbrush, it kinda adds a swing type vibe

[@yungange2371]

Love these kind of videos bro

[@icychill105]

The pick drill is crazy just to recreate what the king Dick Dale was doing back in the day

[@wyattseals3251]

Props for the beer chug man! Took it like a champ

[@bobweaver1158]

cool video, nice background and lighting too

[@ddkapps]

The green screen guitar neck is amazing... Now you just need to do a crossover video with Corridor Crew.

[@DARC98]

6:57 Is that beer an Estrella Galicia?!

[@dawsonlindahl7427]

Wow, this was really the KZbinr that got me playing guitar 6 years ago 😂 I legit haven’t seen one video recommended since thej

[@msmknz]

0:54 Holy cow Sammy's inner child took the reigns there for a second 😆 who knew the opposite of a jellyfish was a powerdrill? Lol

[@3rdalbum]

Considering using the drill-pick contraption for playing that fast surf tremolo without my hand falling off

[@ghijkmnop]

You can hear the bristles moving across the wood. With some creative strumming, that paintbrush could give you the effect of a drummer using brushes.

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

7:39 Happy to see I’m not the only one who opens bottles like that. One of the coolest things I learned in the Air Force 😂

[@Daanomite]

As a dentist, I almost cried when I saw him do that

[@SkinnyBlackout]

@@Daanomite Do you often have to deal with patients who chipped their teeth on a bottle cap?

[@adafrost6276]

My friends used to cringe so hard every time I would do that, they started just handing me a bottle opener with a beer that I would proceed to ignore.

[@akmadsen]

@@DaanomiteI'm not a dentist, but I also found it hard to watch. It just seems like one of those things you just shouldn't do.

[@Vivi_9]

Some beer bottles have a softer cap, probably wouldn't cause any damage opening one of those!

[@ZacMcCoyYT]

Love the Q tip PSA!

[@robertcompitelloii7793]

Out damn standing....and that percussive guitar was soo chill

[@DustinRadtke]

Qtip one had me rolling!

[@rueburch2856]

As for the beer, Danny Gatton used to do something very similar (slide solo using the bottle, drinking, though admittedly not chugging), and playing through a towel to dry up the foam that got on the neck. If you can find his episode of Austin City Limits, you can see it there. It was awesome.

I play electric with a paintbrush all the time. Drench it in delay and reverb for a unique pad sound.

[@catfishcooler1566]

Cool video! I enjoy ALL your videos.

[@228560smur]

I was waiting for the beer spray😂 I wonder what the brushes drummers use would sound like, I think the bristles are metal.

[@pAWNproductionsDE]

The paintbrush sounded genuinely nice. Like the jellifish pick if it didn't suck

[@therewasascene]

Yes the chug n solo!!! I don’t think I could do it.

[@MashaT22]

Those are some cool ideas. That green screen effect is unbelievably clever. I’ve seen his account before. I’m surprised more people haven’t ripped off his idea by now to get views, lol. Btw, Chili didn’t finish his beer while YOU got to the bottom. He also had an assistant to help him catch the bottle (cheater, lol). The only way you could have outdone yourself would be to end by using the bottle as a slide again! Last, my sister is a speech pathologist. She would have thoroughly appreciated your PSA about the dangers of jamming Q-tips into one’s ears. 😂😂😂

Stay tuned! There's going to be a crazy crossover sometime soon ;-)

[@eric_the_fred]

Fun fact I used to use my teeth to open beer bottles until I cracked one

[@purposefully.verbose]

so if you had a motorized spinning attachment that functioned like a trem bar - with a speed control dial - that you could use and then flip out of the way - that would be super duper.

[@EvanEdwards]

What's amusing in a "twist to the tale" kind of way, Chili Dawg was booked for DUI later that night after police found him passed out behind the wheel in the loading zone as he was loading his equipment. He's a great young performer here in Nashville and I think he's been fine since. He may have been trying to sleep it off, but the car was running and he was still drunk. If you need to learn that lesson, best to do it that way without a crash.

[@samuraiguitarist]

Oh man that's a sad twist. Get a ride home people.

[@alexallen6286]

​@@samuraiguitaristcab drivers in Nashville are so aggressive, it's almost just as safe to drive drunk then get in a Nashville taxi. Not that I'm trying to condone or promote driving drunk. Its disgusting behavior. Im just saying i would NEVER let my telecaster in a Nashville cab lol. They're that scary.

[@EvanEdwards]

@@alexallen6286 I have a neighbor here in East Nashville that works downtown both her day job and singing, and she takes the bus, despite having a car. Downtown is just vicious across the board for any kind of driving and parking. She had a bad experience with rideshare (and it was eating her income), and the bus runs late night. I recently got a carbon fiber travel guitar to carry to local parks and play (for myself, not performing). If you see a tall guy with a ponytail and white wizard beard playing a black Enya Nova Go, quietly noodling and writing, say hi!

[@alexallen6286]

@@EvanEdwards I'm a Knoxville guy, but I visit Nashville as much as I can for concerts and Titans games. And because I'm a Knoxvillian, I NEVER EVEN CONSIDERED A BUS. Holy shit. Do you think a bus is a possibility from drift hotel to geodis park when green day comes this summer?

[@IndigoBassNotes]

Sammy the G rated guitarist from Canada won't touch a cigarette , not even for guitar trick. Ol Sammy G could and should work for Disney. Safe, clean and wholesome non- threating guitar work. Rock on bro, great channel. Edit: My bad, he drank alcohol in last trick. So no Disney gig.

[@theojmandude3995]

Hey, I like this guy!

[@navaho5430]

I'm trying that with a JD bottle by.

[@nesu_ferati]

got to say, you have a great taste in beer!

[@fightingblind]

I lost it at dropping the qtip in the guitar hole :D

[@jstnxprsn]

First, on the "drill" technique, you don't need to attach picks. You can use the electric motor to interact with the magnetic fields on your pickups for some great sounds. An old (late) friend used to use a dildo to do the same thing. He'd add a phase shifter, and an stereo auto-panner to add to the effect. It was awesome. Second, while the green screen things was epic, it's only a video thing. If it could be done live EVERYONE would be doing it. Third, I always assumed that everybody drank beer that way during a gig.

[@WhiteCranK]

Damn Chilli Dawg is amazing O.O

[@jonesisdying]

I'm sure I'm not the first to say it, but the legendary Danny Gatton did the beer trick a loooong time ago!

[@TLguitar]

You forgot to add to the percussive guitar a copious amount of reverb as if it was recorded inside the Large Hadron Collider.

[@mikebauer6917]

i did not expect you to actually do that beer one, that was really impressive haha i would throw up and choke on my puke and the beer while falling over and breaking the bottle too probably haha

[@samuraiguitarist]

haha gross my dude

[@dr.s.]

How about next time you fix a few brush to the the drill, and use it while using a beer bottle as a slide on your greenscreen neck. That would be kinda impressive.

[@TLKjoe]

I could totally see myself cutting down a paintbrush and tossing it in my case.

[@DaleRobertSzyms]

The late great Danny Gatton used to play with a full bottle of beer and spill it all over the place while still making it musical.

Jeff Beck would hold his guitar, in his left hand, up by the 20th fret a walk it down his fingers, playing triplets. That, is a guitar trick
