Talking and Jamming With My 16yr Old Self

[@dbfi01]

This is brilliant!!! Genious even! And dont worry about talking with yourself. There is nothing wrong with that... If I didnt like you already, I outright endore you now... What a level head on your shoulders... Keep up the good work! You put alot of smiles on peoples faces! And there is nothing in the world that can beat that! No playing at Wembley, no making 40 hit records, no getting famous. Take all the time off you need. You have a family now. Your 56 year old you, would tell you to focus on that. Ofc, you need to be making a living, and keep up appearences, but make sure you are there for your family, and I PROMISE we will be here, whenever you get back... *bows*

This video is kinda genius. They're sitting in the same chair. The dialogue feels natural (well, as natural as dialogue fed from a 16 year old can be), and that why so many comments say "he actually time travelled". The one at 4:16 is ABSURD. They both play a Fender strat, but it looks like 16 Y.O Sammy is playing a squire. I love that his younger voice is just *slightly* higher, chalkier & less stable-pitched, while his older self has a clearer pitch, is louder & more confident.

That "sounds good man" at the end of the jam session was one of my favorite things to hear early on in my playing and one of my favorite things to tell guitarists that aren't very confident yet.

I would call this "between two guitars", but it would be more like "surrounding two guitars"

Is this the first time he’s mentioned his clone? I feel like we’re doomed now that he’s mentioned Justin Wang

The jam got preeeeeetty emotional for me, not gonna lie.... everything was so "Pure", awesome job. Cheers from Italy

People who think it's edited are just haters.

[@phoneguy3409]

Except it is actually edited. It's kinda mad how young he looks without a beard

[@hokagoband]

@@phoneguy3409 it a joke boomer

Fantastically done! You're very believable on both sides of the conversation and it was a real treat to watch. Really, really liked this.

That jam session though man, damn it was so good. I aspire to be able to be that good on guitar so that I can jam with my grandfather in the little time we have left. Thank you for being an inspiration man!

Samaraiguitarist-- I’m 😢crying and laughing 😊 too! I nominate you for an EMMY award. I can relate to a whole lot that you touched on here. As a 55 yo guitarist. I would have devoted more time to ear training too. And theory and scale practicing. Late this summer and fall, I thought of writing a letter to my 15 yo self. You really hit me with this one. You clothes lined me. I’m going to write that letter to myself. We don’t have counselors in grammar and high schools like this. We need them very badly. Just to talk and to tell kids that everything is going to be alright. I could have used a father or an uncle at 15 to teach me the ropes. But I didn’t have that. Your video here was very bittersweet. I’m saving it to watch again and think about everything. Just your subtle way showing how you’ve matured as a guitarist at the end. Turn arounds, leading notes, pausing, dynamics...... And the poor 16 yo, sticking to the pentatonic minor Scale. And watching as you ended the song properly at the end as a 33 yo. Really moving video. 🏆 Emmy Award. ! 😢😊 Hello from Chicago

Imagine his son growing up and watching this and saying: "i want to be like him"

this is wholesome, bet it seemed like a trip jamming with yourself editing this
