Excatly what am thinking

[@marinebloodriver733]

I hesitate buying the app to learn boogie shred in a whole. now I can play the main riff but I don't know if it worth buying it...

[@minhtuy1486]

your guitar is so nice Mike bro.

[@alexrobertson8965]

What kind of guitar is this?

[@capnsmashem3284]

Did this guy write and perform the soundtrack from Hearthstone? Woah!

[@capnsmashem3284]

Confirmed, he did not, but oh man, there are some striking similarities in a couple of portions of the song.

[@marinebloodriver733]

that's sound amazing !!! a bit afraid of though x)

[@kingrobert1st]

What happened to the cutaway on this remarkable guitar? Looks well naff. Like an amputation.

I met this guy playing with Justin Sandercoe, no regrets...

[@Shawn-uc6ds]

hi, great video, but I don't hear you correctly, what tuning are you in? thanks

[@goodsirbanzo3684]

[@Aryan-zc1eo]

[@Freakybananayo]

[@Ja3k1]

what's that intro song

[@JoaoSantos-ho3db]

Jacky Boy his cover of Periphery - Scarlet

[@VictorVarelaa]

"This was my first song" Dude.

[@potatothingshehe]

6:15 "a cat being choked" Sure.

[@sahildabur]

looks like the cameraman was not a big fan of the snare down the left corner.

[@metalnerd79]

nice and simple he says...ha ha

[@Mad_Duck]

I'm mildly bothered that he didn't open with: "Simply..."

[@joebanks4997]

"Why not slap a friend?" 😂

[@ashishpandey3366]

ROFL😂😂😂

[@louiszaffino4071]

Who else spent half an hour on the first slap

[@abslenchar2347]

Why not slap a friend !!! LMAOOOOO

[@matthewlee8068]

what shampoo and conditioner does he use is what everyone should be asking

[@luketasker7043]

Why not slap a friend? 😂

[@kristiancolley8290]

"We have a C section" lol

[@newcitykids]

He wrote this when he was 17 and kind of calls it sophomoric. It was just far enough above me as to be inspiring and yet almost reachable in principle. But I've been playing for 40 years. Yikes.

[@Sensei-musashi]

How calls his guitar gays?? I would bay IT...

[@FloridaManRacer]

guess what, this is the most useless how to on the entire internet. why? not because he doesn't teach you well, no because the fact is no matter how hard you try, you'll just never be good enough to play this song lol. don't worry, I'm not either

[@Loonaticx]

Hold my beer...
