Hey Sammy G, can you do me a favor :-) Play A.S.H. version of Awe of She from the Guilty Gear std, It's probably the most metal of soundtracks ever created for a game.

"were pretty far away on our family tree" fucking gold

I don't know enough about math rock to know if that was any good, but I know enough about pop country to know it was executed perfectly... which, of course, means it was awful.. perfectly awful.

The Tarantino Dire straits song was EXACTLY how I thought it would sound! Wonderful job! Great video Sammy!

[@SKJESUS-qk5qy]

Dude the math rock melody is kinda like spot on if you’re trying to reach like a universal math rock sound. Kudos

[@shaunp2265]

Right!? Dude said that he didn't know much about it and ended up writing a suuuuper tasty guitar part that would fit in any math rock project lol

[@cedricrickdelsol9767]

The musical interpretation of taking a poop has got to be the most emotional I've ever seen Sammy G. And I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.

[@chicobrian3280]

The "tune in for the John Lennon interview" surprised me with a really big laugh..

[@shawnswitenky1158]

[@maxjaggli8852]

"How We Do It 'Round Here" is my new favorite country song while simultaneously being my favorite math rock song.

The "Smoking crack in a Walmart parking lot at 3 am" song could easily be in a Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad scene.

7:39 (playing blues as if out in the cold) has been done to perfection by Seasick Steve with 'Salem', the way he rubs the strings is such a great effect.

[@severalsmoothstones8717]

[@OnAir21]

As a former manager of a Guitar Center, your representation of a music store’s ambience is spot on.

[@SirMalorak]

That Math Rock Country song was so cursed, yet worked so well LMAO

[@1mdlmusic]

That 7/4 chicken picking reminds me of playing with some country guys who couldn’t count to four to save their lives. They’d often change chords and lyrics mid-measure with no rhyme or reason. Drove me crazy.

[@Nekron_Knight]

The more you know: Ennio Morricone was the first person that got the idea to introduce the guitar in the western filmscore and that was necessary because of the low budget of the first western movies he got to write the music for (sorry for my bad english).

[@draetonalimoffatt8780]

By no means in the modern age does this qualify as "bad english"... I am ESL French Canadian but many Native speakers throw grammar away nowadays. Very cool tidbit thank you for sharing.

[@hannesohnesorge]

You really nailed the Rick Beato style lesson, looking forward to the Lennon interview now!

[@Gregulitus]

I almost had a heart attack when his guitar slid a little on his amp

[@christopherlewis1847]

It's a really sweet amp. Sammy's dad built it. Now there is an awesome dad. Respect.

[@FC-kv7sp]

3:26 Let’s not forget he composed the music for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Rip king

[@who_is_marcus3517]

7/4 is one of my absolute favorites, so that was a great experience! next challenge: Play a 5:4 polyrhrythm bass line against a Bembe pattern subdivided to 4/4 triplets...that is my biggest challenge.

[@michaelc1541]

Alright, the math rock/country and the poop riff were the best things I’ve heard in quite awhile. Thank you so much for doing this, thanks to those who made all the suggestions, and I hope this becomes a channel staple and you do this as a frequent series.

[@vertical_slab6660]

Sammy G has some incredible skill. The fact that he can make up all of these sounds giving a basic prompt is incredible. It requires a large understanding of Music Theory and all the different genres. As well as being able to shred the guitar. I think he did it really great job recreating all of these and they sound exactly like the situation. I think that he needs to congratulate himself more.

[@LiMCRiMZ]

I feel the sound of a 303 acid bass preset is the perfect description of smoking crack in a Walmart parking lot at 3AM.

[@LiMCRiMZ]

This may be one of the most valuable lessons I've learned in music production

[@diceandcards8272]

The math rock pop country thing is very cool and something I would genuinely listen to it's like what someone would imagine Midwest emo is after not knowing what it is

[@dombowombo3076]

I respect that you played the Dire Strairs part with fingerpicking. Well done!! I really like this kind of video...but to be hinest I like all of your videos, so just keep on doing what you do and don't forget to enjoy your (family-)life. :)

[@LukeMaynard]

It's a weird footnote, but I'm really, really impressed by the sound of your reverb in a lot of these little vignettes. I first noticed it in the "smoking crack at 3am in a Wal-Mart parking lot, but you have some great and varied reverb tones throughout. Re: chicken picking in 7/8, my stage band class in Grade 11/12 did "Norwegian Wood" in 11/8 and it actually worked surprisingly well.

[@galladebutcooler8645]

4:36 - After a poop I feel so light and relaxed that sometimes I just lie on the bed and take a rest while gravity gently pushes me on the blanket, preventing me from floating against the cealing but without actually feeling like I am being pushed. I feel like a feather slowly falling on a cuscion, stopping on it on a delicate equilibrium of forces. Then, I listen to some relaxing / ethereal prog rock song that makes me feel like air. Like "I talk to the wind" from King Crimson or that kind of music.

[@ospididious]

" 'Sow we do't raund hr' " needs to be a full track. Thank you for that laugh. Great work.
