i keep coming back to this clip..the more i listen and watch Ronnie play this piece, the more and more i'm appreciating it! ..he's quite amazing!..as always!!
This comment section is the least insightful thing I’ve ever read. A lot of people are missing the wonder point that beautiful music can come from anywhere, and that you don’t need a $5,000 dollar guitar to make the better place with your music.
I have no talent in anything at all, and this person makes me jealous. I'm also FLOORED with POWERFUL FUCKING ADMIRATION AND MAD PROPS. I agree with @dmfcnl in that a record, followed by a world tour, is heavily needed. The last person I've seen play so amazingly well was Elliott Smith, and before that Chet Atkins. Mentioning Ronnie in the same breath as those legends is the highest compliment I can offer.
@TedEdFred21 I was thinking something similar, wtf FENDER! LES PAUL! guitar lessons! 10 years studying music to play "nice" but this boy is just PURE MUSIC, it goes right to your heart, it put a smile in your face and make you feel happy!
@puganufur besides the fact that Ronnie is a male from Botswana, this is heavenly, not devilish ;-) I do NOT think he should record an album, he should be on stage around the world. Well, let's make an album to promote it then, you're right! Amazing fellow! Proving you do not need expensive equipment to entertain....
As near as I can tell the bass note is F,no fifth string (that I can see) the fourth string is tuned to f, the third to A, The second to C, and the high string to F I think, but I may off a bit. It's all and open F tuning. That's why it sounds so bright.
In Botswana they seem to remove the second and third strings from the top if you look carefully in all guitars here! Maybe that's the secret to this great tune!
FxFACx x's are omitted strings. Tune UP to the pitches. Leaving off the 2 omitted strings makes the action on the guitar the same or easier. Leaving on the strings the tuning is FAFACF which will tend to raise the action (increase the bow in the neck) of the guitar
Why are people saying that this is a man ? This is a lady -- I am 100 % sure. The description is in error. Besides, in Africa, men do NOT wear headscarfs ! (In case you are wondering, I am African).
Why do you automatically assume he is saying that in an insulting matter? He is merely pointing out the fact that such great talent is limited by monetary status.
@Sranang100 thats heart breaking yes... but I still want to believe that Ronnie and all his brilliant fellows can get there themselves if they want: world fame! wouldnt surprise me. xx
I love his playing. The gender mistake is in the eyes of ethnocentric Westerners. I don't know what constitutes masculinity in his culture. He's a brilliant artist and I wish he was still around. Ironically, most American male "Teen Idols" have had feminine features since the '70's.
@communistjesus cant you find him a record company? IF HE wants? I sent a link to a local organisation who organises big Mundial Festival every year in Holland - maybe you can also send it somewhere? love xx
Not really-- Botswana tuning is FxFACx is you keep 5th and 6th strings they are A and F so it looks like FAFACF-bu topen F would be more like F-A♯-D♯-G♯-C-F OR alternatively F-B♭-E♭-A♭-C-F. Still MAD PROPS to you for catching that this is in F! IT\t's just a weird modal F- not a standard F tuning

Botswana culture is one of the most respectful and beautiful on the planet, it's a shame that it's going away

This is great.
how did this guy got it ,this MAHLATHINI 's song ,so perfect

Good work maen.! Visit Kenya plz
She is a he..named Ronnie Moipolai.
addict tres tres vite
Bravissima
botswana has talent FACT!!!
Botswana tuning is FxFACx--which makes you ABSO-SMURF-LY correct!
very cool
taquinho de bh minas brasil .me apaixonei uma das coisas mais chic que encontrei na internet
Esse rapaz tem talento
brilliant
can see that the music is played over and over again by the mark of the notes on guitar
Why are people saying that this is a man ? This is a lady -- I am 100 % sure. The description is in error. Besides, in Africa, men do NOT wear headscarfs ! (In case you are wondering, I am African).
Nice playing
Why do you automatically assume he is saying that in an insulting matter? He is merely pointing out the fact that such great talent is limited by monetary status.
@Dubconferencedotorg No, just from the nearby Botswana!
wow! she plays like devil! common! i agree with you smartbrotha, she's gotta record an album!!!
its pina 5.00. meaning 5pula for one song, pula is Botswana's currency
I thought it was Rand ?
please make more songs
i love youtube !
@Sranang100 thats heart breaking yes... but I still want to believe that Ronnie and all his brilliant fellows can get there themselves if they want: world fame! wouldnt surprise me. xx
she just have 4 strings 0_o. *ploc*ploc*ploc*ploc*,congratulations.
Eu sempre quis saber q diabos é isso q eles toca sera piá
Eh, 'scuse me but Ronnie is the guy in the background with the camouflage hat on and it's a woman playing the guitar, or am I missing something ?
Poor Ronnie, everyone thinks he is a woman.. :D
He died
I love his playing. The gender mistake is in the eyes of ethnocentric Westerners. I don't know what constitutes masculinity in his culture. He's a brilliant artist and I wish he was still around.
Ironically, most American male "Teen Idols" have had feminine features since the '70's.
Anyone know if this is an actual song, if so, anyone know the name, great piece of music!
yah its a song composed by mahlathini and mahotella queens its called zintombi ze nqlashiyo
Mahlathini and mahotella queens from South Africa...izintobi
@communistjesus cant you find him a record company? IF HE wants? I sent a link to a local organisation who organises big Mundial Festival every year in Holland - maybe you can also send it somewhere? love xx
can anyone tell me the tuning of that thing???
it just sounds like one of those tunes you can improv off of all day long! :)
haha 0:54 he's like uho itchy earXD
Whats the tuning? can any one guess?
kkk the other guy is busy with his Bear
@TedEdFred21 We all know "my friend" means you
Anyone know the tuning?
I hope someone gave a good guitar to continue his art
Crossroads
Not really-- Botswana tuning is FxFACx is you keep 5th and 6th strings they are A and F so it looks like FAFACF-bu topen F would be more like F-A♯-D♯-G♯-C-F OR alternatively F-B♭-E♭-A♭-C-F. Still MAD PROPS to you for catching that this is in F! IT\t's just a weird modal F- not a standard F tuning
but why an Psidium guajava?
Also thought Ronnie was a Woman!!!👀😘💞👏🤔☝️
@TedEdFred21 What a waste of good gear - give him an extra one for me!
Open F.
@ritaivy2 the one playing the guitar is a MAN, you just need to check his other videos to find out.
Does that guitar have $5.00 written on it?
5 pula - about 50 USA cents - thats the charge per song !
depois dessa, vou parar de tocar violão
สอนมั่งสิพี่ครับอยากเล่นแนวนี้บ้าง
@Frankly747 this is rather painful, if you checked out Ronnie's other videos you'd have known he's a man.
My guitar have one extra string... probably I should remove it too )
