Hey Sammy G, can you do me a favor :-) Play A.S.H. version of Awe of She from the Guilty Gear std, It's probably the most metal of soundtracks ever created for a game.
I don't know enough about math rock to know if that was any good, but I know enough about pop country to know it was executed perfectly... which, of course, means it was awful.. perfectly awful.
HE USED MINE!! HE USED MINE!! HE USED MINE!! Thank you so much SammyG, you rock!! I’m sorry you had to go outside in the cold to do mine though, but luckily you had that warm blues riff to keep the cold away!
Fun fact. In the state of Mississippi they require couples to provide their birth certificate to prove theyre not related. My co worker married a guy from Mississippi and described the whole process lol
When you listen to the "typical afternoon in Guitar Center", you can hear him saying "Hah, there's no price tag on, that must be for free" two times... ouch.
The more you know: Ennio Morricone was the first person that got the idea to introduce the guitar in the western filmscore and that was necessary because of the low budget of the first western movies he got to write the music for (sorry for my bad english).
By no means in the modern age does this qualify as "bad english"... I am ESL French Canadian but many Native speakers throw grammar away nowadays. Very cool tidbit thank you for sharing.
7:39 (playing blues as if out in the cold) has been done to perfection by Seasick Steve with 'Salem', the way he rubs the strings is such a great effect.
Sammy G has some incredible skill. The fact that he can make up all of these sounds giving a basic prompt is incredible. It requires a large understanding of Music Theory and all the different genres. As well as being able to shred the guitar. I think he did it really great job recreating all of these and they sound exactly like the situation. I think that he needs to congratulate himself more.
That 7/4 chicken picking reminds me of playing with some country guys who couldn’t count to four to save their lives. They’d often change chords and lyrics mid-measure with no rhyme or reason. Drove me crazy.
7/4 is one of my absolute favorites, so that was a great experience! next challenge: Play a 5:4 polyrhrythm bass line against a Bembe pattern subdivided to 4/4 triplets...that is my biggest challenge.
Alright, the math rock/country and the poop riff were the best things I’ve heard in quite awhile. Thank you so much for doing this, thanks to those who made all the suggestions, and I hope this becomes a channel staple and you do this as a frequent series.
I respect that you played the Dire Strairs part with fingerpicking. Well done!! I really like this kind of video...but to be hinest I like all of your videos, so just keep on doing what you do and don't forget to enjoy your (family-)life. :)
The math rock pop country thing is very cool and something I would genuinely listen to it's like what someone would imagine Midwest emo is after not knowing what it is
6:37 ok so the opening run in the red dwarf theme sounds to me in my brain to be that same A-Lidyan scale, am I right? It's cold outside and there's no kind of atmosphere 🎶🎶 I'm all alone... more or less. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
It's a weird footnote, but I'm really, really impressed by the sound of your reverb in a lot of these little vignettes. I first noticed it in the "smoking crack at 3am in a Wal-Mart parking lot, but you have some great and varied reverb tones throughout. Re: chicken picking in 7/8, my stage band class in Grade 11/12 did "Norwegian Wood" in 11/8 and it actually worked surprisingly well.
Please write a whole album of the Quentin Tarantino/ Dire Straits crossover music. I really want to hear what you'll come up with. It was actually awesome!
I have jacked up hands due to nerve issues, so that fact that you made your guitar sound so good with just a thumb and a pinky gives me hope! Thanks man!
One of, if not THE BEST, SammyG videos ever. Seriously, the Rick Beato and Math/Country x-over were next level. Do more of that. StevieT would be proud.
Holy Bejesus! If you don't expand that Country/Math Rock mash up into a full song ASAP, you're letting a real unique hit slip right out the window! GREAT JOB!
4:36 - After a poop I feel so light and relaxed that sometimes I just lie on the bed and take a rest while gravity gently pushes me on the blanket, preventing me from floating against the cealing but without actually feeling like I am being pushed. I feel like a feather slowly falling on a cuscion, stopping on it on a delicate equilibrium of forces. Then, I listen to some relaxing / ethereal prog rock song that makes me feel like air. Like "I talk to the wind" from King Crimson or that kind of music.
I have an odd request that has been lingering in mind for far too long. It would satisfy my curiosity greatly if you were to play us some chunky metal chuggs on your Dano baritone. I implore you, it needs to be done. I know that's not your area of expertise, but I believe in you. 🙏
I saw that exact same strat in Long & McQuade and instantly fell in love with it. Unfortunately I have no money... I love the vibe that colour fade gives off.
You nailed them all in my book, Sammy! This is definitely gold material, m'man, though it looks like you put a crap load of time into it. Wow. Just, bravo for a video this complex and good!
O my god. The “ Baby don’t ya worry, can’t you see that we’re pretty far away on our family tree. That’s how we do it. That’s how we do it round here!” Shii had me in tears bro. Love the content Sammy G!!!!
The last one is accurate too a point. I feel there’s a lot of crap like that in the genre that’s generic and the same but at the same time when you sift through it there are some rather good songs
I have watched every single Samurai Guitarist video and I can confirm this is the best one ever, this is where he just let it all flow, no holds barred
that was beautiful! the massive poop was spot on and had me cackling, and the country/math rock crossover had me dead, and was honestly more well done than it had to be. thanks for doing that for us!
Not gonna lie, I feel like 09:33 is some of my finer work. Get any course 50% off with promo code "HOLIDAY21" over at www.samuraiguitartheory.com !!!

Hearing that part put me in true bliss
Hey Sammy G, can you do me a favor :-) Play A.S.H. version of Awe of She from the Guilty Gear std, It's probably the most metal of soundtracks ever created for a game.
"were pretty far away on our family tree" fucking gold
I don't know enough about math rock to know if that was any good, but I know enough about pop country to know it was executed perfectly... which, of course, means it was awful.. perfectly awful.
Please put the last tune on spotify
Hi Paul!
Ngl that tune caught me off guard
Omg, yes.
paul?
paul?
HE USED MINE!! HE USED MINE!! HE USED MINE!! Thank you so much SammyG, you rock!! I’m sorry you had to go outside in the cold to do mine though, but luckily you had that warm blues riff to keep the cold away!
I read this just as he was playing yours
same @Jason Finnegan
That is so wholesome my guy
Frankly, this was too good to not be a regular thing.
Seriously it'd be wicked if it was regular like his HUFOs which are also gold
yesss
Do it round here has been stuck in my head for days
Nice profile pic
I have the exact tele in your pfp
Not gonna lie, the "impression of a busy afternoon at a Guitar Center" 2:19 is a very well composed piece of avant garde sound art. Love it :-D
As a a GC employee, I can attest to the fact that he is spot on.
That "we're pretty far on our family tree" line had me dead
That’s how we do it round here 😂
Fun fact. In the state of Mississippi they require couples to provide their birth certificate to prove theyre not related. My co worker married a guy from Mississippi and described the whole process lol
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that caught that 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That line should be obligatory in country.
@@Nebb74 Oh, dude, when I moved to Mississippi, my wife and I had to provide a birth certificate to transfer our driver's licenses. Same reason.
I'm enjoying the plants
Love the "There's no price tag so it must be free" in the Guitar Center track
That's legit PTSD for me... lol
White people love that joke almost as much as white people love saying, “Not going far without these.” after almost forgetting their keys.
@@zachiswayposi1 what about "you working hard or hardly working"
@thetreesofclues you got time to lean to got time to clean
@@zachiswayposi1 what about "this is too spicy"
I literally laughed out loud at the "John Lennon Interview" 😂 Great Rick Beato impersonation 👏🏼👏🏼 and as always, great content... Loved it ❤️❤️
Same. It caught me so off guard I startled my wife and kid on the other end of the couch.
lol I cried so loud))))))
Yes! Relief after poop definitely sounds like early 90s sitcom intro!
The Tarantino Dire straits song was EXACTLY how I thought it would sound! Wonderful job! Great video Sammy!
Dude the math rock melody is kinda like spot on if you’re trying to reach like a universal math rock sound. Kudos
Right!? Dude said that he didn't know much about it and ended up writing a suuuuper tasty guitar part that would fit in any math rock project lol
The musical interpretation of taking a poop has got to be the most emotional I've ever seen Sammy G. And I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.
When you listen to the "typical afternoon in Guitar Center", you can hear him saying "Hah, there's no price tag on, that must be for free" two times... ouch.
The "tune in for the John Lennon interview" surprised me with a really big laugh..
The whole Learning Tricks with Uncle Rick segment was hysterical!
Really REALLY love the "Play something that sounds like" videos. Equal parts hilarious and awesome
2:20 "there's no price tag on it, that must mean its free" cracked me up !😂
2:32
"Actually....no that was 2 am" 💀
Dude, “After Massive” is a world-class bop.
As a Texan, I can confirm that his rendition is exactly what a lot of radio country sounds like.
That Math Rock Country song was so cursed, yet worked so well LMAO
3:26 Let’s not forget he composed the music for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Rip king
The "Smoking crack in a Walmart parking lot at 3 am" song could easily be in a Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad scene.
JESSE WE NEED TO SMOKE CRACK
Yes dude, i think It would fit better in BCS
As a former manager of a Guitar Center, your representation of a music store’s ambience is spot on.
wait but like, can we get a full version of that math pop country song? i will pay you several dollars for it.
Several dollars? Look at rich uncle money bags over here!
ill add several more dollars to that aswell
"How We Do It 'Round Here" is my new favorite country song while simultaneously being my favorite math rock song.
The more you know: Ennio Morricone was the first person that got the idea to introduce the guitar in the western filmscore and that was necessary because of the low budget of the first western movies he got to write the music for (sorry for my bad english).

I almost had a heart attack when his guitar slid a little on his amp
It's a really sweet amp. Sammy's dad built it. Now there is an awesome dad. Respect.
You really nailed the Rick Beato style lesson, looking forward to the Lennon interview now!
Sammy G has some incredible skill. The fact that he can make up all of these sounds giving a basic prompt is incredible. It requires a large understanding of Music Theory and all the different genres. As well as being able to shred the guitar.

8:12 Damn I was hoping for Rush on the hockeystick guitar
Alright, the math rock/country and the poop riff were the best things I’ve heard in quite awhile. Thank you so much for doing this, thanks to those who made all the suggestions, and I hope this becomes a channel staple and you do this as a frequent series.
I feel the sound of a 303 acid bass preset is the perfect description of smoking crack in a Walmart parking lot at 3AM.
This may be one of the most valuable lessons I've learned in music production
04:00 would be a sequel to Screaming Jay Hawkins "Constipation Blues"
7:03 Haha that's brilliant, "John Lennon Interview"
I'm going to come right out and say it: that finger picked Knofler/Tarantino jam was OUTSTANDING?! I'd love to hear a full length version of it.
4:23 this adds a whole new meaning to 'the song is sh*t'
I was half expecting him to say "breakups are tough" then start shredding
I respect that you played the Dire Strairs part with fingerpicking. Well done!!
I really like this kind of video...but to be hinest I like all of your videos, so just keep on doing what you do and don't forget to enjoy your (family-)life. :)
The math rock pop country thing is very cool and something I would genuinely listen to it's like what someone would imagine Midwest emo is after not knowing what it is
He saved the best one for last.
_"It's how we do it 'round here."_ 🎶🤣
The poop one was amazing, went from deep nasty grunge to sonic adventure/90s afternoon sitcom rif and I couldn't be happier
As a southerner who has had a toe dip into math rock that was a perfect recreation of the combination
Especially the last one, showcased your love for goofing around while making awesome music. Don’t be afraid to be goofy while being yourself
09:33 was the best thing I’ve ever heard. Wish it was on Spotify 😂
I loved the blues in the snow bit.
Your expression was just like mine every year during first snow. Just as excited about snow...
That math rock lick was spot on. Fine work and may Chon be with you. 😊
6:37 ok so the opening run in the red dwarf theme sounds to me in my brain to be that same A-Lidyan scale, am I right? It's cold outside and there's no kind of atmosphere 🎶🎶 I'm all alone... more or less. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Was not expecting that math rock/country song to hit that hard
The first bit of the last song sounds like polythia would play it
The massive dump one was great, almost had me rolling on the floor! Thanks for the laughs!
It's a weird footnote, but I'm really, really impressed by the sound of your reverb in a lot of these little vignettes. I first noticed it in the "smoking crack at 3am in a Wal-Mart parking lot, but you have some great and varied reverb tones throughout.
Re: chicken picking in 7/8, my stage band class in Grade 11/12 did "Norwegian Wood" in 11/8 and it actually worked surprisingly well.
"There's no price tag on it: that must mean it's free."
I like the hidden bit in the guitar store cacophony lol.
that math rock country jam gave me one of those startling/jolting laughs that only come around every couple years. thank you!
Please write a whole album of the Quentin Tarantino/ Dire Straits crossover music. I really want to hear what you'll come up with. It was actually awesome!
I have jacked up hands due to nerve issues, so that fact that you made your guitar sound so good with just a thumb and a pinky gives me hope! Thanks man!
I feel like this guy should be more famous than he is now
The thing at 3:00 sounds exactly like what would be playing when the main character of a movie goes on a drug trip
One of, if not THE BEST, SammyG videos ever. Seriously, the Rick Beato and Math/Country x-over were next level. Do more of that. StevieT would be proud.
Wow. That Dire Straits/Spaghetti Western bit just gave me goosebumps. Spot on and simply beautiful.
"Baby don't you worry, can't you see? That we're pretty far away on our family tree." killed me! xD
What a great line lmao.
4:05 literally just got done taking a shit as I’m watching this
" 'Sow we do't raund hr' " needs to be a full track. Thank you for that laugh. Great work.
I like the one at 2:51. sounds great.
I’m 2 minutes in and thoroughly entertained… well now I’m finished the whole thing and wow that was a great one
Holy Bejesus! If you don't expand that Country/Math Rock mash up into a full song ASAP, you're letting a real unique hit slip right out the window! GREAT JOB!
has anyone ever played stairway in the store? if so, did you ever do something to stop them?

I haven’t bought an album in years...but I would buy the “that How we do it roun’ here” single 🤣
The originality in this video is unfathomable, subscribing to see the next one of these
I have an odd request that has been lingering in mind for far too long. It would satisfy my curiosity greatly if you were to play us some chunky metal chuggs on your Dano baritone. I implore you, it needs to be done. I know that's not your area of expertise, but I believe in you. 🙏
P.s. just in case it's needed, my username is pronounced "tow-fat-ness" 😎🤙
I saw that exact same strat in Long & McQuade and instantly fell in love with it. Unfortunately I have no money... I love the vibe that colour fade gives off.
9:24 I hated this
But you did a really good job with it
2:00 recently lost use of my pinky, so this was actually super wholesome and nice to see
04:40 😅
How 'bout do next:
Eric Clapton on cocaine
Snoop dog on weed
Kurt Cobain on heroine
Amy Winehouse on alcohol
You get the point....
8:03 I was low key expecting to see him play rush outside in the snow
This is a Certified h00d classic
Dude, I love your melodic guitar style and your vids are ridiculously creative
He's better playing guitar with two fingers that I'll ever be in my whole life
The delight after the poop was shown so perfectly it actually reminded me of some of my mondo dukes.
I f**king lost it at the last one. And your Knopfler was impeccable 🤣
02:20 "there's no price tag on it, that must means it's free huhhuhhuh" TRIGGERED
the high effort and production quality lavished on these joke suggestions is nothing short of beautiful. sammy g spoils us all.
3:55 is spot on though... and yes this totally need to be a series :o
At "Beetles on acid" I was literally like, "sooooo, yellow submarine??" 😂😂
You nailed them all in my book, Sammy! This is definitely gold material, m'man, though it looks like you put a crap load of time into it. Wow. Just, bravo for a video this complex and good!
You’re playing my current dream guitar 🥲 I’ve been looking at it everyday.
Is that a fender player deluxe?
@@charliebrown3082 its a fender player plus in the tequila sunrise finish with an sss pickup configuration
O my god. The “ Baby don’t ya worry, can’t you see that we’re pretty far away on our family tree. That’s how we do it. That’s how we do it round here!” Shii had me in tears bro. Love the content Sammy G!!!!
god damn, the surf rock with the hand loose hand was just superb
This is an amazing exercise in creativity and you executed it SO well playing so many different styles
The last one is accurate too a point. I feel there’s a lot of crap like that in the genre that’s generic and the same but at the same time when you sift through it there are some rather good songs
I have watched every single Samurai Guitarist video and I can confirm this is the best one ever, this is where he just let it all flow, no holds barred
this has to be my favorite vid of yours so far, great job on all these! i was cracking up
An old street performer and bluesman I knew used to play all winter on his electric, all while wearing a pair of dollarstore gloves.
RIP Memphis
For a wacky idea, you slammed ‘em all out of the rink. Always the coolest.
Really enjoyed your video, the songs and your new Tequila sunrise guitar. Great stuff!
that was beautiful! the massive poop was spot on and had me cackling, and the country/math rock crossover had me dead, and was honestly more well done than it had to be. thanks for doing that for us!
