impossible guitar

[@LucasKingPiano]

Nice playing Professor Snape.

[@RiveraViktor]

Comments be like 1%: You're a talented guitarist 99%: OMG SEVERUS SNAPE

[@GoldenizedElite]

i wanted to find this video again after all these years, so i searched "snape guitar" AND IT WORKED

[@lordvoldemort6627]

SNAPE YOU NEVER TOLD ME THAT U CAN PLAY GUITAR THIS WELL,IF I KNEW THIS,I WOULDN'T HAVE KILLED YOU.

[@stacygiron5708]

omf you are blessed

[@19800bon]

I came here for a beginners lesson, I just bought my first guitar today and I'm finding this really hard to follow. Also my guitar has two necks missing!

[@19800bon]

Best live album ever! Thanks m8. I did post this as a wee joke though, i'm not really that thick lol

[@georgenovelo7129]

lmao! good one!

[@19800bon]

***** Nice one m8 & thanks!

[@oscardp4726]

muy bueno

[@wormboi8411]

just play around with it a shit ton books help if ur tryin to learn sheet but that is the best way to learn

[@ThreeLeggedMongoose]

1% of the tone is from the hands, 1% is from the wood, 1% is from what is actually being played, and the other 97% of the tone is maintained by adjusting the hair to the correct position prior to playing.

[@A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid]

That is just so damn funny, it took me a couple visits to say, but that's truly humorous. I thunk what separates the really good shit is when it's funnier second time around.

[@A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid]

Holy shit now I'm here using Google plus and I was right: you've got 64 1ups for it :)

[@ThreeLeggedMongoose]

The comment is here to stay, like a foul stench that will forever linger.

[@FreeSouriaNow]

Yikes, Now I know why I can't play well! Missing 97% of my talent!

[@NoobPsychology]

1:18 here the direct relationship between hair and tone is shown.

[@glenns6133]

If you took the time to go to his website, you would’ve found out this beautiful talent has passed away. Rest in paradise, Esteban!

[@sledgehog1]

Wow, rest to his soul...that was beautiful...still something I come back to for around 10 years now...

[@CreedBrattonTheOffice]

His website seems to no longer be up. I just checked on Facebook. He passed on 28/1/2018 from a chronic illness and he lived for 2 years longer than expected from it. I didn't know he was gone though. I remember first watching this 9 years ago (still have my original comment here saying "It's like an orgasm to my ears! I can't get enough of this song!!!") May he rest in peace and his music bring joy to those who cherish it for all of time.

[@bluxpretion]

😔😔Rest in peace, the man, the myth, the legend: Esteban😔...

[@alysonswindler279]

I love how literally all of the comments are either: "I found professor Snape" "reverb" "hair flips" "cross between Snape and Nick Cage" "that is amazing" "that sucks" "literally ANYTHING referencing Harry Potter"

[@IrvingIV]

Thestral mating call.

[@waterblonk]

Well, 50 points for Slytherin.

[@Castlevi3w]

That's by far the best sounding coffee-table I've ever heard.

[@AyyoFishyy562]

Here in 2024, I first saw this video when I was 13 years old and now I’m 29 years old. Still sounds as beautiful as the first day I heard this.

[@PeazUpAtownDown]

Absolutely in the same boat. Same age and everything man. Found this on YT and was amazed. Took me 15 of searching to find what it was titled. I remembered “impossible guitar” but it didn’t pop up until I filtered it to 4-20 mins long. Lol

[@CreedBrattonTheOffice]

So you saw it 16 years ago but it was posted 13 years ago? Yes, your comment was 8 months ago but that math ain't mathing.

[@swilson94]

Absolutely, utterly, well and truly amazing. I take my glasses, hat, gloves and trousers off to you, sir.

[@ijokster5648]

Taking to the next level, here we go...

[@HealyHQ]

"Okay!"

[@xPrizoRx]

pretty amazing. you still killed dumbledore

[@lianna5168]

Did you watch the movies or read the books? Dumbledore TOLD Snape to kill him so Draco didn't have to and so Voldemort trusts him better

[@H3ROxUPRISING]

Lianna Engoyan Could be a little less spoiler?

[@ILoveBurgerzz]

Lianna Engoyan doesn't change the fact though, he did still kill dumbledore

[@shortyblackwellll]

tot-o t-oto doesn't he hang out with Captain Picard?

[@andrewj1825]

And then valdemort killed him

[@Anthonythomas5511]

Speechless. Incredible. Even more amazing is the 4000 + numbnuts that feel the need to dislike this and post snarky comments. Please. Show us what you've got or keep it to yourself. This is some bold, revolutionary guitar. I appreciate it, esteban.

[@LindaBkrWms]

LOL! 4k hate this? Must be a bunch of nancy boys lovin justin beeber

[@mrfrains]

LindaBkrWms LOL!

[@Anthonythomas5511]

LMAO

[@bmhyakiri]

Ah, so if I don't like a movie I must make one better in order to express my opinion of it. Sound logic.

[@mikescanlan4653]

Its bold, but not revolutonary. Plenty of guitarist use 3 neck guitars, and smarter one. His has 2 classical necks. Nothing different between them except the fact that he play them at the same time simulating 2 guitars at once. Cool, but not revolutionary. Been done. The point of multi neck guitars is to get two necks that are different, or more. a 6 string and then a 12 string, the 6 string for single notes, the 12 string for chords. Some people add a third neck that is a 6 string fretless. I agree that this is something quite interesting, but not new.

[@glfriendliness9793]

After all these years, it STILL never gets boring! Still one of my fave KZbins of all time!

[@infinite-inspiration1111]

Damn you snape for making me cry over your guitar playing, I already cried when you killed Dumbledore!!

[@jackgardner6975]

Your pretty

[@Ezoriel666]

Layla Barker So original

[@EfftingES]

Im impressed with so many people saying theres no musicality, or that it sounds bad, in my opinion, it sound utterly amazing.

[@GrimmMusic]

[@SlappeIk]

[@tommiewallin6522]

I just watched the video to see if anyone would comment this :D You and i sir are like-minded :D

[@sl840]

And here I'm excited about playing something that sounds remotely like David Bowie's "Heroes" on Ukulele.

[@zegaboy098]

Steven Larson You get my thumbs up for not saying he looks like Snape.

[@Arctagon]

zegaboy098 But he doesn't …

[@darthnox2210]

In one ear and out of the other. Interesting technique, all you need now is a piece worth playing.

[@davidmarshall7879]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@heianger_heiguang6747]

[@euso2008]

R.I.P. originality.

[@Vojife]

I have to be honest - this is probably the most beautiful music piece I have ever heard! And I have heard many. Incredible, this is exactly what my idea of a guitar improvisation (?) is like. I wish I had a guitar like that. Or was that good.

[@bluxpretion]

YEEEESSS, I HAVE BEEN UNITED WITH THIS CLASSIC ONCE AGAIN

That's my not long-seen brother!

I was actually surprised nobody else had said it.

[@Clayjarazn]

+jkh301 Alan Rickman who played Snape passed away a month ago.

[@HoobaMusic]

wow sounds like three guitars played by one man...amazing ...great sound

[@ArchAngelSlayer1]

What's really coming through is his skill in potion making. He has obviously made and drank something that has made him ridiculously good at guitar for a short time.

[@j.sablewski7059]

your comment... is totally awesome!

[@macintosh315]

Yeah, his technique is nice, but you know what really makes him great? Look at his facial expressions while he plays. He FEELS the music. He knows it like a childhood friend. That's what makes a musician.

[@PirateReviewer]

Very nice handling of that quitar, I especially liked the part when yo-- OH MY GOD, YOU'RE SNAPE! YOU KILLED DUMBLEDORE!

[@PirateReviewer]

***** Thank you for your kind words. I can make up more original comments, if you want. I am the meme-master. Do you even watch memes, bro? Hehe.

ROFL

[@AzureSunwind]

[@PirateReviewer]

[@DarkAvatar1313]

He looks more like Adrian Brody than Snape.

[@BTDFreak]

R.I.P Professor snap, your guitar magic will be truly missed

[@PirateReviewer]

Oh my God, Snape! Answer me, Snape!! Snapeeeeeeee!

[@bigboi3280]

Plot twist... He drops the instrument and kills Dumbledore...

[@RJ-mj4sh]

PewDieSky lol

[@gabesstarwarscollection]

Fuck all these people saying it has no "musical progression". This is art, people shouldn't put labels on it. Music is more than just "musical progression".

[@Kastlefeer]

Gorgeous instrument, superb playing too congratulations.

[@JT1698]

Deleted scene of Harry Potter was that Snape had ascended to Godhood through sheer riffs, and had just grown his 3rd pair of wings when he rose to the summit of the school tower and serenaded Dumbledore to death for 6 straight hours.

[@Javjean]

haha that's awesome. Better than fanfic.

[@Ayonbuddy28]

ha ha

[@Aetheretic]

Very beautiful song, and the finger picking is mind blowing. It's too bad most of the people watching this don't seem to understand what they're seeing or hearing.

[@sledgehog1]

Very true! Peace to his soul.. :(

I think he should shake his hair around some more!

[@rexnewborn3379]

+swrnc Just more evidence for my theory of modern music. People are tone deaf and interested only in what they see.

[@elecktrick9s99]

that's funny for me this is more visually impressive than sonic but hey it's all subjecive I played it for a blind friend he thought it was 2 boring players and he's far from tin-ear as it gets

[@eiserntorsphantomoftheoper2154]

elecktrick9s Your friend probably has very acute hearing for pitch , tone , rhythm , scale . He did not need his sight to know this is nothing more than a novelty.

[@reagan047]

[@SuperBoyz2men]

Dumbledore!!!!!!!

[@szymonbalcer]

Snape went full black magic…

[@LionelDay]

After all this time ? Always ♡

[@6darkness6eternal6]

He looks like a mixture between Snape and Nicolas Cage :')

[@LuchoCastle_11]

He actually looks more like that actor on King Kong (2005) that played Jack Discroll, just forgot his name.

[@roboturf]

+TakeTo TheShadows Actually more like discount Steve Vai. Still good nonetheless.

[@TaylorLeAnn]

I know:(

[@Chaosedge]

Killed him with guitar skillz

[@TaylorLeAnn]

lol XD

[@Jailbreak25]

Taylor Hinrichs you stole this comment from like 10 other people who also stole it

[@sammyp1971]

The bow sold me! I can dig it! It does seem a bit random but nearing the 4 minute mark it gets really good. The idea of the two distinct tones of the 6 strings is very cool! He's got some nasty chops ......Those who can't hear the music in this prolly can't hear what Stravinsky and Bartok were all about either.

[@EmmaLane97]

Agreed! It sounds a bit random but very well thought out. I think it would take at least up to a year to perfect this even on a regular acoustic guitar with all the licks being a lot of 16th up to 30 second notes

[@Versul1]

EmmaLane87 Random but thought out? Isn't that an oxymoron? Thought out is nearly the opposite of random. It's kinda like saying this piece is simple and also complex.

[@Versul1]

EmmaLane87 30 second note? Lol I guess thats a very long note. Now a 32nd is probably what you are attempting to say, only there are no 32nd notes in this piece perhaps the reverb is tricking you. Are we pretending to be a musician?

[@Versul1]

Eamonn Neeson If you can't feel the quarter beat I can see how you would feel that way. You could theoretically fit a piece of music in all sorts of meters. You could take a song that was meant for 6/8 and notate it as 3/4 but it wouldn't truly represent the piece because with 6/8 there is also a swing of 2 that is present that isn't in song written in 3/4. So yes you could notate this with a slower bpm but it wouldn't represent the music correctly and it would be a headache to notate.

[@Versul1]

Joshua Homan I do not view myself as the greatest musician. I do have a very good understanding of music and I am a competent musician. I have an appreciation for many genres. We are talking about the language of music here. You seem to be confused

[@Greenjah81]

That was intense! Love when the bow usage started. Wow

[@jaidestrykr7135]

What can I say? Killing Dumbledore for the Elder's wand was a great choice... look at the power it gave him! I mean, it was a bastardly move, but who wouldn't kill for ability like this?

[@The-Real-Blissful-Ignorance]

That's one of the best comments I've ever read!

[@jaidestrykr7135]

Thank you, good sir or ma'am.

[@The-Real-Blissful-Ignorance]

Apparently this guy has unfortunately passed away in 2018, as stated in his website :( F

[@SomeDudeOnline]

I always feel like these multiple neck guitars are way too show-offy.....but then I looked down in the comments (not watching the video) and realized it does sound really nice.

[@A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid]

What, you mean like the guy with the pink 6 neck? Who doodles a bit only on the top neck between really shitty jokes?

[@SomeDudeOnline]

Milky Wayan I think I've seen that guy. But no, I would assume that's part of whatever kind of act it is he's doing.

[@A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid]

s0medudeonline Well his video is in the suggestions for this one. And if that's not "show offy" I don't know what is! Esp since he uses it in his act to draw your attention ;) But I do get your point.

[@ashace513]

He plays it with magic and killed dumbledore.

Very cool, and amazing. But you still killed Dumbledore D:

[@Darkmage1293]

If he played any hotter, the world would burn. If he was any cooler, the sun would freeze. If he was any more wicked, Satan would be out of a job. Any sicker, and no doctor could cure him. Any slicker, and he'd slide forever. If he was any tighter, the strings would snap in response. If he was any more dope, the cops would have to bust him. If he kicked any more ass, he'd star in an 80's action movie. What I'm tryin to say is this guy plays extremely well.

[@Macropodidae666]

.... and if he used any more reverb, we would not hear shit.
