METAL SINGER REACTS | Guitarist flexes his "perfect" pitch on Omegle | BLUE SKY THEORY

Actually the Doo is using a loop machine, it's all done in one sitting he's proven it when he jammed out with Herman Li

[@tactrix1h]

Ok I'm gonna clear something up, I've been playing guitar for nearly 30 years, there are a HANDFUL of people that can play like thedooo, and I do mean a handful. He doesn't just play fantastically by ear, he uses techniques that take literally decades to master properly. This is not a commonplace guitar player, most guitar players can play their entire lives and never hit where he is right now in skill. He uses a delay pedal and looper station. He actually went to college for music theory and composition. That's why he has so much setup in a way in which he can immediately play it back.

[@iwrestledabear1s]

The way you undercut the talent at the end with your assumption that the songs are "cut together" is actually pretty funny. What you hear in the final video is what the people he connects with hear in the moment because he plays it all live and loops it together on the fly.

[@truckinterrapin7706]

He does add backing tracks to some he don't have ready on the fly, but regardless doesn't take anything away from his talent

[@iwrestledabear1s]

@@LuffyToons You are correct. However, just because he has loops prerecorded, doesn't mean it's added in post, as implied. The people he connects with are still hearing every backing track or loop in the moment, as we do in the final edit.

[@WispyWarrior268]

@@truckinterrapin7706 I mean the reason why he doesn't produce a whole backing track with drums or other instruments on the fly is because it will take too long. He's mentioned it before that people have a short attention span because of tiktok or other reasons so they are not going to wait 10 minutes plus or however long it takes just so they can hear a cover they don't know might be good or not. He has the ability to create good shit but it takes time and can't produce a whole professionally made song on the fly hence the parenthesis (improvised)

He is one of those musicians that has great relative pitch and he does play the songs on the fly. He does not add the music in post production.

This is laughable how much you undermine the brilliance of this guy. Your average metal rock band guitarists are nowhere near his skill and fluency levels, the way he plays and connects the pieces on the spot with all of the complex scales, harmonics is just incredible. This is much more than picking a few chords and shredding pentatonics on top. As a fellow musician, I would say that in terms of raw technical skill he is even above most of the well known shredders like Herman Li. For what I heard watching him I believe that Eric is one of the most technically skilled guitar players in the world, below only the actual freaks of nature guitar gods like Buckethead or Paul Gilbert

[@homedogoli]

I don't get the people getting wound up by his comments, he didn't say anything that undermined his talent lol... He was saying that the ability to listen to something and then play it is common with highly trained musicians, that doesn't mean it's easy or unimpressive. He even said "the magic is still there, he's fucking insane". And while the dooo is incredible, I really do think it's a stretch to call him one of the most technically skilled guitar players in the world... There are so many freaks of nature guitar gods who are in a different league, but I wouldn't be surprised if he reaches that level one day. I'm sure he could already play a lot of their songs but it's just not quite as clean and refined as them.

[@rheniusantonyraj8562]

The reason he can play the melody so well over the chord structure is that he 1. Just heard it like 30 seconds before he plays it. So the sound is fresh on his mind/short so he doesn't need to practice it. 2. The songs are pretty mainstream/basic melodies 3. He is just looping the chorus usually and fills the melody gaps with scales/runs which allows him to freestyle so he has leeway to not exactly play the notes. His stuff is not CUT.

[@WispyWarrior268]

Although the video does cut a lot he does catch these songs in an instant. The reason it cuts is to get right into the guitar playing and not have like 3 seconds of him not playing anything.

[@ghostbravo7127]

He also does it because of copyright law, he can't play more than a certain clip length of any song without getting into legal trouble and risking a strike on his channel.
