Reggie Watts Improvisation II

I just downloaded this off of Vimeo. It may be uploaded on KZbin, but if it's not, then here it is. I have no idea what the title of the piece is, as it's improv and never mentioned in the video.
If you have any interest in video game related videos or let's plays, I have another channel called "Sonsofvidya". We try to focus on being funny and not terrible. Please check it out. / sonsofvidya

Still a decade later lol this bangs

[@XXXerious]

Reggie Watts cannot be categorized. This man is Music at it's rawest. He is pure genius. Knowing no boundaries, he is limitless and FREE!!!! Be Thankful!

[@fetishalchemy]

damn, every time I hear something new by this guy I am blown away. Its not just the inventiveness, its the quality of his voice and his timing is amazing, even using a looping station. Doing live edits, while overdubbing yourself several times is no easy feat in itself but I just love what he does. It seems effortless but I know he is just so damn good.

[@oncore]

please never delete this video

[@cen7ury]

I'm always blown away by the man's vocal range...f*cking incredible.

[@subliminallabs]

his other unit is the Electro Harmonix 2880 4 channel loop station. In fact, he is featured on their website messing with it in a video. The Line 6 DL4 is what he uses for most everything though. What you need to do what he does is have his level of talent.

[@MNice90]

The craziest thing is that he made a soulful song then sampled the loop from the soulful trackhe just made. Dude is a Beast

[@MrTomSea]

Smokejc is right about the equipment. What i THINK happens is he creates the loops initially with the DL4, then sort of saves the main loop in the other loop pedal, then he uses the DL4 for delay and effects on his voice, but later in the song uses it for the harmonizing vocal loop right at the end. I just got a DL4 and was gonna do a brief video explaining it. Its relatively simple to use, and it really showed me the genius is Reggie's quickness, not the technology.

[@eviljoel]

First heard Reggie on the Comedy Bang Bang podcast where he's a frequent guest, and he absolutely blew my mind. It's like he has the creativity of ten people crammed into one brain.

[@jmorgan9969]

this song changed my life

[@camgood3097]

I was just watching a Buckethead performance, and in the top comment on that, someone else said the same thing as U lol.. I agreed with them, as I do with u, as well.. too (2).. HAVE A GOOD DAYY..

[@JessiNaka]

I love when there aren’t actual lyrics at all. It makes me feel like I’m really enjoying the music at its core. It’s like he’s boiled it down.

[@spcwright2002]

this is just plain sick. This guy has more talent in his left pinky than most main stream artists combined

[@Garblegox]

Man, it's parts like 1:25 - 2:15 that get stuck in my head and I end up still nodding my head to it for like a month. His voice is addictive.

[@Oubre84]

Truly a special person

[@IvanBunny]

Pure musical genius in this.

[@crzywitboy3]

This is the kind of talent that in the future people will wish they could have been around to witness. I just feel lucky :)

[@adamchandler2132]

One of the coolest things I've ever seen...and heard. I love this!

[@crzywitboy3]

It is these kind of videos from reggie that make me want to start looping. thanks for the inspiration oh god of the looping machine!

[@viole.n.tCerulean]

Man, still my favorite Reggie Watts performance I've heard. So epic and hypnotizing😵😵💖

[@MrTomSea]

The only way I could like this more is if it never stopped.

[@klinky12321]

I can't figure out why I like this guy so much. Maybe it's his ability to make amazing beats and crazy songs that other artists could only DREAM of making. Maybe it's his comedic side that comes out every now and then in making a face or just spontaneously dancing. Maybe it's how he gives me goosebumps almost every single time I hear one of his productions. Maybe it's his multiple accents. Maybe it's his fro. Or maybe...he's the last of a dying breed of actual musicians...keep it up Reggie.

[@dinomarcel3]

Thank you.

[@IvanBunny]

The whole performance is awesome but from 3:33 on, FUCKING GLORIOUS!

[@stephenblessed92]

So Talented. Amazing!

[@icebergmike27]

Good lord that was bad ass.

[@almightyshux]

help me out with the lyrics: huh yeah, Sometimes it gets so hard living on nothing tryin' to make ends meet, yo tryin' to make some sense of it allllllllll when you hear rumours, you're chemically reactive never tryin' to find the solution why the people be telling you shit in the first place baby what, but how can i do this? something I find, gotta be when i want you when I wanna get up and go....................................................

[@willis604]

This is so sick!!

[@shermenaze]

With each video I realize more and more how talented this guy really is

[@WelcometoDyland]

holy fuck.... this is even better than "watch out for cobra commander" and thats a feat

[@SuperEd86]

So sick.

[@jykellyisSmelly]

Holy shit he killed it

[@listothis]

how amazing is all of that... just trippy creative engrossing

[@brunoanys]

A whole new meaning to the term 'One man band'.

[@jiminycrocketatthealamo9836]

so good

[@robredo9852]

Might be the craziest like to dislike ratio on KZbin! Reggie Watts is the shit!

[@GabrielMartinez-qu6wg]

someone needs to make a downloadable soundbite out of this...

[@amplex1337]

so amazing, so soulful, the whole thing is brilliant, love the stops around 3:00.. and especially the 3:30+ 'you wanna believe' layered loop is so love.. this whole thing is profound & beautiful, i want to buy this haha =]

[@zachfox7771]

perhaps the best of his performances ive seen

[@futureboy7653]

I feel sorry for those 9 people who didn't understand this

[@jagostino]

[@JohnMarkTriplett]

[@SomeOne247]

[@samsmith402]

This dude is weird,and funky,and lights out with this thing he's doing..absolutely original

[@geo.thermal420undergrounde9]

Still innovative in 2017 so awesome wow

[@Therm0ptic]

I really like that jacket.

[@recodromen3318]

This song is strange, but has some serious gold in it. I wonder if someone can do a compilation/remix of his best moments into one song

[@Phi1618033]

Reggies needs to tour with Bobbie McFerrin

[@FloraSora]

From what I've seen, the other piece of equipment is known as the EHX (electro-harmonix) Stereo Multi-Track Looper. It's what allows him to have separate loops instead one great big loop that he can only add to and turn off completely. I'm pretty sure that the Line 6 DL4 is mainly just an effects pad. MAINLY. I'm sure he uses it for certain loops. I think it's for when he wants to do the whole DJ thing and start a beat from the beginning over and over again. I want to be like him *u*

[@JMB428]

genius.

[@brwnsuga0407]

I'm in awe.... speechless.

[@CletoFrost]

absolutely insane

[@saltyxx99]

Give this man a medal!

[@kingcollie]

He just released a new album called A live in Central Park. Fucking amazing album, just like the rest.

[@dirtyhiggins5484]

Keller Williams is also a master of the loops. Both of them are incredible.

[@MrPicklepick]

COOL ! LO !!

[@scvdrums]

the equipment is call electro harmonix 2880 multitrack looper, ive seen him use it...you may want to check ebay or amazon for it cheapest. its cheapest around $400

[@EggySan096]

dude is amazing.......nuff said.

[@mygoodshitzzz]

sampling at its best

[@cen7ury]

I can't be the only one that sees the Bob Ross parallels....not just the hair, either.

[@wierdbro5344]

This is one funky hamster...

[@crzywitboy3]

THANK YOU, Reggie !!

[@Garblegox]

@snowier5 Ever heard any of the three he made with dowdenboy? I heard of those almost a year ago and I still listen to them.

[@rhythmLive]

This has been my favorite video on KZbin for years now. I have it downloaded to all my devices just in case it gets removed. I'm a bigger fan of this than most people are of their own pets. Fight me if I'm wrong. 🤩

[@Xplorer228]

this is just one step away from hearing the symphony that lives inside reggies brain. he just has to translate it for us.

[@HNNKNed]

the ending is G O D M O D E

[@Dzyroth808]

wow the bass from him own mouth is making my desk shake lol

[@CrispyLightVybez]

this man is so refreshing

[@MrTomSea]

@1ninjaforlife Firefox has an add-on called "Netvideohunter". It works for like, every site and is extremely easy to use. Now, if you get a program like AOA Audio extractor too you can just rip the audio after downloading the video with netvideohunter and have a pretty high quality mp3.

[@jazzwizzardreggiehall]

good beat box good time and talent

[@smokejc]

Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler, and a Electro-Harmonix 2880 Super Multi-track looper.

[@electrceye]

[@MorganDexter100]

[@loogan1]

[@joshdale901]

[@mescalwormhole]

[@crazypete91]

1:43 best part.

[@dville80]

epic fro

[@naota3k]

PHEW!

[@Betrthnlegendary]

This man has real talent!!!!!

[@MrTomSea]

You can't actually post links in youtube comments, but the major thing is the Line 6 DL4. It's the pedal you see him using constantly on the left. The OTHER pedal he has i think is just another loop pedal. but he essentially forms the major loop on the Dl4, then sorta 'saves' it on the second pedal. I do not know what that one is. You can find the DL4 in a lot of places. I bought mine off amazon. Its a more common loop pedal.

[@BaileysMariner]

I can tell by the shape the green piece on the right is a Line6 looper, don't know the model. Very affordable (have a Line6 JM4 myself, use it for guitar). Not sure about the other one.

[@boemchak]

SuperEd86 army... Attack!

[@spcwright2002]

Albums? If this guy has albums he can take my money!! This is a true artist. Pure talent. Ill download everyone elses Shit. Not Reggie Watts though Ill gladly pay him.

[@skywalkerneoblade]

This man is a genius!

[@seaweedlol123]

Who still listening in 2024 🎉😊

[@florascent9ts]

New Google+ comment. Ayy whutup homeslice!? I always prefer Reggie's improvs not that the stuff he records isn't great, but his live stuff is dripping with awesomeness.

[@marioelbros]

@SuperEd86 Agree.

[@4stringenius]

i WAS stressed out.

[@redman265]

a musical Einstein E=WATTS !!!

[@creenative4life]

yea he says he does that... he says it one of videos, not sure wich one now since ive been goin through all of em

[@Garblegox]

@MCVenarse It's all improvised. So there are weird little random messages thrown in, mostly in English. A lot of the time he is speaking in nonsensical gibberish. It's kind of like scatting. He was trained in jazz vocals so scatting is sort of a staple in his music. Look up scatting on Urbandictionary if you don't know what it its.

[@FRANKSRYHMEBOOK]

hendrix of hip hop

[@DonRade]

ps: check out beardyman if you already didnt... i think he uses the same kind of equipment!

[@kabirf8241]

I don't know how to express that in words execpt for YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@ccd1928]

Anyone know what kinda equipment hes using? i want to learn how to do this

[@PokeWizKev826]

what are those tiny things he attached to the end of his table with gorilla tripods?

[@crzywitboy3]

MY AMAZING IMPROVISATIONAL INSPIRATION. lol just like a fire under my ....
