Ok...memes aside...this ain't half bad. It's a pretty basic blues rock performance, but it is competent. Steven's guitar playing is also not bad either. He uses his thumb to pick the notes, and that's something that a lot of old blues guys did to get that very thick tone. His fretting hand stays busy with some basic to even advanced pentatonic scale runs. I mean, this is definitely a solid blues rock performance. It suggests that he has a real genuine love for the music. It is a soulful performance. I dig it Seagal. I really do.
I agree lots of the licks landed well. But the signature lick of that song, the one that’s repeated a hundred times, is a little too fast to be played with just your thumb, even if that thumb has killed men.
@@carlosluismendez7392 He's actually a pretty good runner considering his running technique is hopping backwards on one leg. Edit: also notice he never actually sings and plays at the same time, he plays licks between the sung phrases
I love how he's still rocking the special forces look while playing the blues. This guy is an absolute genius, a true talent of our time, at endlessly coming up with new ways to turn himself into a meme.
The total performance was okay. I played it for my band not saying who it was and it was okay by them. He loses it here and there, but okay. The best shredders are always overshadowed by those that perform (sing and play), at least audiences that actually want to hear/dance to songs. And adept composers also are higher on the scale than shredders too.
This, along with "I choked my chicken for dinner" and "My baby made me scrambled eggs for breakfast" is in the brand new Steven Segal's greatest hits collection.
I don’t think it’s not that bad. He hit all the notes in the blue pentatonic scale. He has an excellent choice of note per chord. He can bend and hit the right note. Overall it’s a decent performance
I don't mind sloppy - Hendrix was sloppy. Garcia was sloppy. But although he is competent, these "licks" are straight out of a beginners' lesson book. This guy couldn't get gig without his fame
@garfinn4555 Well, it comes and goes, that "confidence." Lol he has to pray and hope the sound engineers are suffocating his guttural abhorrences here and there. You can see it in his sweat and his and the rest of the group glancing back pretty often. We can't all play into or believe his little act. He can't sing or act.
Lol he's a bad actor and a joke at martial arts/fighting... but overall this act wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... his singing is ok for blues, but his playing was def off at times and didn't sound right. But overall it wasn't terrible lol
The fact of the matter is "Guitar Hero" picking is a form of picking that is very acceptable among blues guitarists due to the tonal qualities involved in just using your thumb.
I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but he’s much better at guitar than he is at anything else. I wanted this to suck so bad - I’m almost mad about it.
@@Flameb0 oh the music itself is terrible, but specifically his guitar playing is way more competent than I expected. Keep in mind my expectations couldn’t have been lower, lol.

He's still a badass now, of course, but back then he was an unassailable badass.
Really? I don't play so I wouldn't know, but it actually looks fake. Seems like he can actually sing though, if that's really him singing live, then he's great.
I love how, at the end, the applause was FA - he then starts to walk off stage and the applause ramped right up like they were grateful he was leaving.
Saw I'm alive in a small club in Virginia about 15 years ago just out of curiosity I had to go down and check it out. Just a precursor I've been playing live music for 30 years. His five piece backup band was phenomenal. His vocals are okay for Blues. His guitar playing was very rudimentary and they actually had him turned down for solos! Quite laughable after hearing an interview on The boob tube back then about what a great Blues aficionado and Blues historian he was (this is own words). Quite funny and sad at the same time! His guitar collection is magnificent but it's quite a waste, those are all heirlooms that need to be played.
He didn't look terrible here IMHO. Even using the Wes Montgomery picking technique, which certainly suggests he's a fan of the music. Yeah, probably somewhat sloppy (seems he has a slow, fat thumb), but I've seen much worse.
Sensei Seagal is not only a master blues guitarist, but a skillfull lyricist who can improvise lyrics from the top of his head like no other. Demonstrated at 2:57, the original lyrics being "Man, she's a no good doney - They shouldn't allow her on the street, yeah", Seagal characteristically improves upon the lyrics with angelic phrases, seemingly drawing inspirations from long dead poets. "Well that's a no good darling, would that me ain't go, ain't no feet".
Truly, one of the linguists of our time. He clearly expressed the human condition of how an amputee feels in modern society. Brought me to tears, just like his acting.
yeah...they are all hating on him,..I can play....not bragging...I DEFINATELY have better chops...BUT...HES JAMMING HERE!!...didnt try to be flashy...what the song needed...well he brought it....and regardless of the keyboard warriors on here...he brought it and did a damn good job!!....would have been a pleasure to jam this tune with him!...it aint all about being flashy.....he played for the song.
It surprised me it wasn't shit. He's not a legend or anything but he's as good as a small time band headlining local festivals. It's just goofy because it's Steven Seagal but if it was anyone else people wouldn't be ragging on this.
@@americanpig-dog7051 I agree....dude really was killing it!..he wasnt trying to overplay it...played for the song and did a good job...people are hating because its him....truth is...they are just mad he could play better than them....ooohhhhh....and kick their ass at the same time...dont forget that part...because even if they dont like that either....dude can fight too! lol
Legend has it Seagal once heard a type of music called ‘the cyans’ and later stumbled across another type of music called ‘the magentas’ and had the brilliant idea of combining them into a new type of music which he referred to as, ‘the blues’.
Who'd of thought? I'd seen Steve playing in some movies but I didn't think he was quite this good. He's raw bluesy roots style is really very good and honest, no flash or wankery just good old hard core traditional blues. Well done to the Steven Seagal band! And great job Steve. Almost as good as your AIKIDO
Seagal: “You see that up there? Thats an H2B106 helicopter, they nicknamed it skippy” Person: “oh yea why is that”? Seagal: “cause it goes skip-skip-skip-skipskipskip.....I’ve been flying helicopters for like 35 yrs” Person: “thats BULLSHIT”!
As a guitar player im duty bound to admit he really isn't bad...at all. Im mildly impressed. Can you IMAGINE if Steven Seagull and yngwie malmsteen were at the same venue and met each other? The EGO storm would destroy the earth
Yeah man, we like to shit on him but he doesnt sound bad. Its all giggles and jokes but which of us got to make movies for 30 years and do concerts and shit?
@@giorgiocaruso2970 I doubt it. I can be pretty stubborn at the best of times, let a lone when faced with this sort of petty "yeah, but..." nonsense from some random, yet incredibly definite, idiot on the internet.
Here in South Florida's Hollywood Hard Rock Hotel and Casino just a few minutes from where I reside in my cottage I made certain to enjoy an ultra-rare badass action movie protagonist Steven Seagal Blues Band, very few actually attended the concert likely unaware Seagal was also a Blues Guitar musician with his own band, a lasting rare memory I have enjoyed his double action-movies since the beginning in the early nineties in Blockbuster VHS rentals through today.
Yup! Unfortunately I tried to defend him in another utube comments where he's showing off a dozen or so of his Vintage guitars on the lawn (he has over 300). Well, he played just one 4 second lick, and it gave me the impression that he had game. But the opening "shuffle" in this video showed me this guy's got zero groove! Like a white guy trying to dance at a hip-hop concert - no rhythm, no groove! And then the thumb picking and the same pentatonic run he stumbled through on repeat. Oh, and the one double stop, slide lick...also on repeat. He might be able to fool those who don't play an instrument or listen to guitar driven music...but he ain't fooling guitar players!
@@lueysixty-six7300 I dont think any1 could of explained it better. You hit the nail on the head! BUT me as a white man can say you sir are wrong about white guy having no rhythm! I am deeply and offended there are many white ppl that can dance their ass off. I am without a doubt.... NOT one of them! 😂😂😂. If it came down to me amd a 14yr old North Korean boy in a dance off to prevent a nuclear war. We would be in war with them. LOL lol😂😂😂. Now that's funny and this green i got it killer!!!!

Its actually really good, He has good sense of the Pentatonic blues scale and he uses them well, also the sliding is really good and the bends are on point I would actually say this is a good perfomance
@@evvignesonly if you don't listen to blues (or flamenco). Many great players like Jimi, Scofield, Montgomery, Mayer and others have used it for certain songs.
The mean comments don't make sense. He is a fine player of blues rock, he plays well and he plays the correct notes with good rhythm and timing. Whats to dislike?
if u know a really good musician they'll tell u seagal is at a very basic beginner level and only admired as a celebrity and not admired by real musicians..it's great he has fun but he is nothing remotely impressive to real guitar players!
Unlike some other hacks, Steven can play. Not a genius level or something unheard or revolutionarry- but he can jam. He understands basic blues and knows how to syoncopate , knows his blues chops and expressions. He is not the cleanest of players but then again its a live performance he doesnt need to be. It's just people like to hate him so much that they dont wanna give him this, but the truth is the truth. I dont hate him- im beinig Steven neutral 😂
only hate on people that put their selves out there as superior and who are (overly in an arrogant way) braggadocios, right? or someone that their piers have also felt was arrogant to the point of being obnoxious would be a great reason to hate someone, right?...((BUT))...i didn't hate on anyone when i simply state a verified fact and included the full story!! - to say that was hate would be like calling a defender of that person in love with him! ... BUT ...i didn't put labels here / i only pointed out parts over looked by some people!!..if they call verifying the whole story hate then i call offence of the truth a display of love!!
He’s a mob funded sexual assaulter who hangs with dictators and became a blues musician by paying actual good blues musicians a lot of money to be one. All while he stayed took charter planes to each show and stayed in luxury hotels. Yaaaa he’s pretty hateable
After 20 years as a lead guitarist, I've lost all hope of ever attaining Seagal's skill level, his staccato is impeccable specially during that chord change. I hate to see all these negative comments posted about such a nice guy. Shame on you all. Go Stevie Go.
I was thinking the same thing Amazing how that guitar plays so smooth it's almost looks like he's not even plucking any strings at all. Truly amazing piece of musical engineering.

EDIT-which, by the way, in and of itself is hysterical. Must be all those asses he kicked, causing him to be forgetful as he wistfully remembers the days of being an unassailable badass. He's still a badass now, of course, but back then he was an unassailable badass.
Lol…you’re not a guitarist…
This was infinity times better than I thought it would be.
Same, still real funny though
Very accurate. If you multiply zero by infinity it is still zero 👌

You know, the man is playing as well as he can, and he's having fun. Nothing to be shamed for there...
He's Steven Seagal. He can do anything and that is the greatest song ever written. He said so.
@@TheSejigod said you eat little boy poops and cancer is growing inside you 😂😅
I know one thing for certain. He's actually playing that guitar. That alone is astonishing to me.
Doesnt take a geniuz
He's playing it lil wayne style. puttin' that thumb to work.
@@eltonjohnson Wes played with his thumb.
Really? I don't play so I wouldn't know, but it actually looks fake.
Seems like he can actually sing though, if that's really him singing live, then he's great.
@@gringochucha do not fucking compare Wes to Steven
I love how, at the end, the applause was FA - he then starts to walk off stage and the applause ramped right up like they were grateful he was leaving.
Saw I'm alive in a small club in Virginia about 15 years ago just out of curiosity I had to go down and check it out. Just a precursor I've been playing live music for 30 years. His five piece backup band was phenomenal. His vocals are okay for Blues. His guitar playing was very rudimentary and they actually had him turned down for solos!
Quite laughable after hearing an interview on The boob tube back then about what a great Blues aficionado and Blues historian he was (this is own words). Quite funny and sad at the same time! His guitar collection is magnificent but it's quite a waste, those are all heirlooms that need to be played.
He didn't look terrible here IMHO. Even using the Wes Montgomery picking technique, which certainly suggests he's a fan of the music. Yeah, probably somewhat sloppy (seems he has a slow, fat thumb), but I've seen much worse.
@@eliteteamkiller319 he looks awful here, you should quit playing music if you think you know what youre talking about
Sensei Seagal is not only a master blues guitarist, but a skillfull lyricist who can improvise lyrics from the top of his head like no other. Demonstrated at 2:57, the original lyrics being "Man, she's a no good doney - They shouldn't allow her on the street, yeah", Seagal characteristically improves upon the lyrics with angelic phrases, seemingly drawing inspirations from long dead poets.
"Well that's a no good darling, would that me ain't go, ain't no feet".
Truly, one of the linguists of our time. He clearly expressed the human condition of how an amputee feels in modern society. Brought me to tears, just like his acting.
Maybe that's why he prefers to sit down most of the time 🤔
As a rock and blues fan, I can honestly say this is a pretty damn good performance. Well done.
It's much better than I thought it would be for sure.
yeah...they are all hating on him,..I can play....not bragging...I DEFINATELY have better chops...BUT...HES JAMMING HERE!!...didnt try to be flashy...what the song needed...well he brought it....and regardless of the keyboard warriors on here...he brought it and did a damn good job!!....would have been a pleasure to jam this tune with him!...it aint all about being flashy.....he played for the song.
It surprised me it wasn't shit. He's not a legend or anything but he's as good as a small time band headlining local festivals. It's just goofy because it's Steven Seagal but if it was anyone else people wouldn't be ragging on this.
@@americanpig-dog7051 I agree....dude really was killing it!..he wasnt trying to overplay it...played for the song and did a good job...people are hating because its him....truth is...they are just mad he could play better than them....ooohhhhh....and kick their ass at the same time...dont forget that part...because even if they dont like that either....dude can fight too! lol
@@WarrenSt.James_Guitarist IDK if he can fight these days. Guy has turned into a mockery of himself.
I think what most people appear to missing about this performance is that,
he’s standing up! That surely means something at least 😂
I see and hear a fellow guitarist doing what he enjoys doing. Good for him.
stop playing music
Yea , he's actually petty darn good !! 🙂 👍
To bad he sucks at playing guitar. He makes ears bleed.
Two things this man has truly been robbed of: an Oscar, AND a Grammy. Life can be so unjust...
4:58 one of the greatest lines in music history
What the heck 😂
😂
totally well thought out.
He uses the Lil Wayne technique
Legend has it Seagal once heard a type of music called ‘the cyans’ and later stumbled across another type of music called ‘the magentas’ and had the brilliant idea of combining them into a new type of music which he referred to as, ‘the blues’.
This impressed me more than his aikido
Hes not doing anything but faking
@@heveyweightheveyweight5399 exactly....
Legit I heard a bit of his album though and I was like "wtf why is it good"
@Indigo V
Are you one of those dorks that thinks Aikido is real?
Who'd of thought? I'd seen Steve playing in some movies but I didn't think he was quite this good. He's raw bluesy roots style is really very good and honest, no flash or wankery just good old hard core traditional blues. Well done to the Steven Seagal band! And great job Steve. Almost as good as your AIKIDO
Real blues. Fake martial arts. It's a push.
When the Boogieman goes to sleep every night, he checks under the bed for Stephen Segal demo tapes.
Shit! Ali G has put on some serious weight and taken up the guitar...
This wins.
Hahahahaha... that is classic.
Yes but don't forget he could snap you're neck in the blink of an eye!
Matt Sellors soi
Fat cop
Steven: That there is called a blues turnaround
Some dude: Oh, wow Steven, I didn't know you played
Steven: I been playing the blues for 47 years
Tremendous
Seagal: “You see that up there? Thats an H2B106 helicopter, they nicknamed it skippy”
Person: “oh yea why is that”?
Seagal: “cause it goes skip-skip-skip-skipskipskip.....I’ve been flying helicopters for like 35 yrs”
Person: “thats BULLSHIT”!
I can't believe I just watched Steven Segal play at 5 instruments at once. Absolutely incredible.
As a guitar player im duty bound to admit he really isn't bad...at all. Im mildly impressed. Can you IMAGINE if Steven Seagull and yngwie malmsteen were at the same venue and met each other? The EGO storm would destroy the earth
Yeah man, we like to shit on him but he doesnt sound bad. Its all giggles and jokes but which of us got to make movies for 30 years and do concerts and shit?
@@NYG5 He doesn't sound bad because he's not actually playing.
@@drrockkso8882 Lol. Ask me how I know you're not a musician?

Definitely one of the performances of all time
The most frightening thing is .... one day, he's going to have that moment, when his whole life flashes before his eyes ... once was enough for me.
Everyone's giving him shit... but... for a dude literally playing a 6 string guitar with 1 thumb, this is actually pretty good.
Listen to Wes Montgomery playing with his thumb (the only way he plays guitar),and i'm sure you will comeback to delete or edit the comment
@@giorgiocaruso2970 I doubt it. I can be pretty stubborn at the best of times, let a lone when faced with this sort of petty "yeah, but..." nonsense from some random, yet incredibly definite, idiot on the internet.

Where my Tom Segura fans at?
Hey Mommy
Roland Bejarano Your jeans high and tight?
That was my first thought
Tom Segura is Japanese Just like Segal is
That helicopter is also called a skippy!🤣
Steven is the spinal tap of martial arts and guitar playing.
Spinal tap were solid musicians though. But they are both severely detached from reality 😆
He's gonna wake up in the moanin. Classic.
lololol write me a lettaaaauuu then goes from New orleeeeens to fkin Ethiopia LOL
Yeeeeh we ol wake in da moaninah!!! Actually he coined that phrase!
😂
Imagine getting a call "oh Steven Seagal is forming a band, do you want in?"
Yeah it pays $50 a show.
Steven Seagal is starting a band and says you’re in. Got it? And don’t complain about his playin’. He doesn’t like that. Are we clear? Good.
i would be a great honor....... i have no job
Well, he's a millionaire celebrity, so...HELL YES.
And getting free bullshido lessons? Nobody would say no
Here in South Florida's Hollywood Hard Rock Hotel and Casino just a few minutes from where I reside in my cottage I made certain to enjoy an ultra-rare badass action movie protagonist Steven Seagal Blues Band, very few actually attended the concert likely unaware Seagal was also a Blues Guitar musician with his own band, a lasting rare memory I have enjoyed his double action-movies since the beginning in the early nineties in Blockbuster VHS rentals through today.
seek help
I love how all the figs who can't actually play, crush on him. He's actually pretty damn good.
No one thinks Steven is cooler than Steven, himself! He Really loves himself!
Steven dont listen to the Haters.just keep playing and growin.💪💪👍
Oh he's growin' alright. He gets bigger every day.
Steven Seagal went to the crossroads..... and sold his soul to lil Wayne.
Khanspiritor NRG holy shit lmao
Lmfao great comment
Ouch, but funny.
Yup! Unfortunately I tried to defend him in another utube comments where he's showing off a dozen or so of his Vintage guitars on the lawn (he has over 300).
Well, he played just one 4 second lick, and it gave me the impression that he had game. But the opening "shuffle" in this video showed me this guy's got zero groove! Like a white guy trying to dance at a hip-hop concert - no rhythm, no groove!
And then the thumb picking and the same pentatonic run he stumbled through on repeat. Oh, and the one double stop, slide lick...also on repeat.
He might be able to fool those who don't play an instrument or listen to guitar driven music...but he ain't fooling guitar players!
@@lueysixty-six7300 I dont think any1 could of explained it better. You hit the nail on the head! BUT me as a white man can say you sir are wrong about white guy having no rhythm! I am deeply and offended there are many white ppl that can dance their ass off. I am without a doubt.... NOT one of them! 😂😂😂. If it came down to me amd a 14yr old North Korean boy in a dance off to prevent a nuclear war. We would be in war with them. LOL lol😂😂😂. Now that's funny and this green i got it killer!!!!
Love the right hand technique. Limits himself to just the thumb. Unique.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Oh shit!!!! I'm so glad I was on the toilet when I saw this. I would've fucking shit myself laughing
I’d give my opinion, but I’m scared he’d find me.
LMFAO HAHAHAAH 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
For a man that runs like a girl. His singing and guitar playing ability is much better than his acting.
@@Hanzyscure LOL I agree though, not that bad, I feel like people would like him more with all of these stuff he does if it wasnt for his arrogance
He is deadly in the art of handshake tosses 😶
Who cares .....he will never find you.....too busy eating
I can't believe I even clicked on this. How can he not have been embarrassed ?
😮😮😮😮 no sabía que cantaba y tocaba blues, suena muy bien, le dan con un caño a sus películas pero no van a negar que es muy bueno en la música 🎵❤,❤️ para siempre será mí Steven de las películas de los 90'
He's definitely better at guitar than acting and martial arts
He’s a terrible guitarist lol
@@Shevchenko_DBR9 atleast better than me, but I didn't practice a lot
@@Shevchenko_DBR9 I'd say intermediate he knows what he is doing for sure. Definitely not under the "terrible" classification.

Sounds like good $2 entertainment for the bored and tone deaf. 😝 Everybody's gotta be someplace...🤔
"You gotta pay your dues if ya wanna sing the blues and ya know it don't come easy."

@@flemminghedemann8119 He's not too bad as a player...but I wouldn't pay to see him play.
lol im almost there. Wish me luck.
Lasted til the end of it but couldn't have done it without the good comments section of this video.
These fucking hilarious comments are getting me through the video
Its actually really good, He has good sense of the Pentatonic blues scale and he uses them well, also the sliding is really good and the bends are on point
I would actually say this is a good perfomance
So many people are being unkind and overly critical in the comments section. I think he's playing and singing well. Respect to him.
@@tomy8339let's not go too far now, one decent guitar performance doesn't equal the greatest star of all time
I want to hear Segal playing with no other people so we can get the full majesty of his thumb technique
Hahah! He can barely hold the guitar. He looks like Rick James playing bass...
That thumb thing is so weird.
He taught John mayer the thumb technique
How a 10yr old plays guitar hero.
@@evvignesonly if you don't listen to blues (or flamenco). Many great players like Jimi, Scofield, Montgomery, Mayer and others have used it for certain songs.
His set at the Holiday Inn on Thursday's during happy hour is good too. Seems down to earth and drinks are half price.
"Yea I've been singing the blues for 35-40 years"
Beefy J Willington he was at the crossroads to teach Robert Johnson the blues. 👖
Also been flying helicopters for like 47 years. Lol had to throw tom segura in there
He's also been dancing his whole life
@@michaelll you should send this in so they can roast him on the podcast 😆
"...not very well, but still."
I've been playing guitar for 32 years and I can tell you he's actually pretty good.
The mean comments don't make sense. He is a fine player of blues rock, he plays well and he plays the correct notes with good rhythm and timing. Whats to dislike?
People just like to dislike on him because it's easy. But this was pretty solid.
He uses the Lil Wayne picking technique
I don't know who is worse him or Lil Wayne
little wayne is worse for sure
Toy Caldwell of the Marshall Tucker Band picked with his thumb. Toy was a very good guitarist.
if u know a really good musician they'll tell u seagal is at a very basic beginner level and only admired as a celebrity and not admired by real musicians..it's great he has fun but he is nothing remotely impressive to real guitar players!
Too true and yes celebrity has many rewards as well as drawbacks. Like you say tho he's having fun :)
Tom Segura Seagal impression-“I’ve been playin blues for like 35 yrs”.
Touch my camera through the fence
I never ever thought I would see this.
I wish I hadn't.
Unlike some other hacks, Steven can play. Not a genius level or something unheard or revolutionarry- but he can jam.
He understands basic blues and knows how to syoncopate , knows his blues chops and expressions. He is not the cleanest of players but then again its a live performance he doesnt need to be.
It's just people like to hate him so much that they dont wanna give him this, but the truth is the truth.
I dont hate him- im beinig Steven neutral 😂
We all owe Master Sensei Seagal endless thanks and gratitude for inventing the blues. #bowtothemaster
YOU ARE only one HO understand SS skills in AIKIDO T ISIS
He sings well and definitely isn't bad on the guitar, he's a pretty safe player but no need to hate on him
You MUST be joking
only hate on people that put their selves out there as superior and who are (overly in an arrogant way) braggadocios, right? or someone that their piers have also felt was arrogant to the point of being obnoxious would be a great reason to hate someone, right?...((BUT))...i didn't hate on anyone when i simply state a verified fact and included the full story!! - to say that was hate would be like calling a defender of that person in love with him! ... BUT ...i didn't put labels here / i only pointed out parts over looked by some people!!..if they call verifying the whole story hate then i call offence of the truth a display of love!!
He’s a mob funded sexual assaulter who hangs with dictators and became a blues musician by paying actual good blues musicians a lot of money to be one. All while he stayed took charter planes to each show and stayed in luxury hotels. Yaaaa he’s pretty hateable
@@kevinkim256 Very true! There is even a photo of him groping a 16 year old girl.
gerg that’s freaking hilarious.
Still a legend in his own mind. I come for the laughs & he never disappoints.
After 20 years as a lead guitarist, I've lost all hope of ever attaining Seagal's skill level, his staccato is impeccable specially during that chord change. I hate to see all these negative comments posted about such a nice guy. Shame on you all. Go Stevie Go.
Steven Seagal: I just heard the greatest blues song ever made
Rob Schneider: Oh yeah, who wrote and performed it?
Steven Seagal: I did
Dr mike showed me this gem
Steven and his magical guitar... It's plays itself... True magic..
I was thinking the same thing
Amazing how that guitar plays so smooth it's almost looks like he's not even plucking any strings at all. Truly amazing piece of musical engineering.
Nah he’s playing it.
He is playing it
@@cryptidproductions3160 He's playing, you can hear it's a bit clumsy due to lack of experience/work. But he still got good licks tbh, just not clean
He uses his thumb. It gives it a sloppy sound, but he's not a bad player. Although, he is a little off time here and there.
