Thank you all so much for all the love and support on this one 🫶 I don't have time to respond to every comment but if you're reading this, I appreciate you for even so much as clicking on this video. You guys are the best 🤘 Edit: It sure is funny how many comments I'm getting about the members of this band or the length of my shorts. It's not worth complaining about either, people. It's just not.
Obviously I’m biased but Will Swan literally created a genre with his guitar playing so anyone nailing it much less in a live setting with judges immediately gets my respect
I love to think that everyone in the room is absolutely blown away by the response this is getting on TH-cam! They had no idea they were witnessing an absolute legend
I now realize what this comment means. I have a 24 inch waist with a 40 inch inseam so it's really a no-win situation -- in pants, I get countless unwanted comments about how long my legs are, and in shorts, I apparently look like a goof 😅
Dude this is so indistinguishable from Will Swan's guitar playing its so good. Also another Gen Z fan of this band and other simillar post-hardcore bands like Hail The Sun.
@@lucasdjentsit’s a reference to the movie back to the future , not sure if it’s also a double entendre cuz well uk . Turn off the lights I’m watching back to the future pt1 and 2
If the band saw this, they would be very happy and proud of this. You’re just playing in front of the wrong crowd brother. Reminds me of being in high school… I’m 32 now. Appreciate being so young and having the taste in music that so many of us older people have had when we were your age! You killed it dude. I hope your parents are proud too. I sure would be. Keep it up!!!! Don’t ever stop playing!!!! Oh and life flies bud. Enjoy it day for day. What I’d give to go back the good days.
Thank goodness they cheered. I was worried they wouldn’t recognize you killed that! Its not super approachable music, but I feel like anyone should be able to appreciate those tasty guitar licks
I don’t like how their heads aren’t moving There are no tears being shed There’s no amusement in the room your obviously lighting up Hey man, keep creating. People like me need to see it. It helps the mental seeing other musicians blooming. Love ya pall!
I always hated my school’s talent shows. I didn’t matter how talented you were, you won by being one of the popular kids. The audience decided who won. They’d yell for who they wanted to win. Whoever the crowd yelled the loudest over would win and it was always the popular kids. Don’t know why they didn’t just use actual judges.
That's pretty much the case at my school too. The judges this year were all 9th and 10th grade girls, so I lost to one of their friends who sang "In Summer" from the movie Frozen as a joke.
This is a victory now, though. He uploaded and we all heard the call. I remember when we were young and nobody understood. Now we get to help them avoid that :)
Super glad this video was recently uploaded, hope you see this. You killed it, what an excellent choice of a song to go and perform and you really brought that swancore loaded. I would’ve lost my shit had I been there
i like how the girl in the blue laughs at first then when the clean vocals flesh out you can see her sway back and forth she likes it at points mainly tillians voice seems to get her
By any reason this was recommended me. It is 3 a.m. and i am lying in my bed. In Novosibirsk Russia Siberia. After a long long night in garage under my vintage car. It was pleasure to listen to. I play a little bit myself mostly Hendrix, Gilmore so i can imagine how hard you worked. Great performance to)
Very impressive performance. Not only nailed the time signatures, but the technical acumen on achieving identical tonal patterns is immense. Kudos to you, fine gentleman.
Dude your tones are sick!! What a legend. Take the total lack of understanding from the people at your school with a grain of salt. You CRUSHED it, and there’s a crowd who loves this!!
This is amazing man they don’t know how lucky they are !! I wish someone would have played some DGD at my school there would have been some REALLY enthusiastic and out of tune singing coming from the back
Good job brother they’ll get into this kinda music a few years after y’all graduate, that’s what happened to the people that I grew up with. Stick with it homie.
I mean this in the most sincere way possible: you are an inspiration. I haven’t picked up my guitars seriously in over 15 years but after watching this I’m really itching to get back into it again
I wish I was bold enough to have done that when I was still in school. It took me years to get over my stage fright. Keep this up and the next generation of kids will look up to you in no time!
the worst part of this is that most people probably wouldn't think that this is too difficult of a song unless they are guitar players, since it isn't as flashy as some songs with sweep picking and the such
Been trying to learn Deception by them… Swan is just so dynamic, he’ll jump from the lower frets to the last frets for such short parts but it sounds amazing 😁 my fav guitar player of all time
I have little talent and less skill, but I know for sure that Will Swan isn't the easiest guitarist to cover. Ability like this in high school is madness!
With the help of Moises, I cut out the guitar parts that I play from the original track. I then used Archetype Asato for my guitar and mixed it as well as I could to make myself cut through.
Thank you so much!! 🤘 I actually lost to a freshman who sang "in summer" from the movie Frozen as a joke to her friends, who happened to be the judges 😅
Made me laugh at the end. You have an ear for sure... that guitar tone is perfect! I wasn't sure if you were actually playing at first! Great job! Love that song and D+G+D.

No you are 😘
Killed it man, good job!
Hopefully one day you have an audience that fully appreciates you my man! You did absolutely amazing
Beautiful finger work young blood 🤘🏾
Sorry bro, no one understands but us.
Yeeeeeh, Nice BRZ!
A mighty minority we are united in goosebumps - baby 🦢
They have no idea
No clue😊
Exactly what I was thinking 😂
so under appreciated
Obviously I’m biased but Will Swan literally created a genre with his guitar playing so anyone nailing it much less in a live setting with judges immediately gets my respect

This comment is perfect 🤣
@@lucasdjents you’re killing it my guy, keep it up 🫰🙏
Yo sick job on this dude. You killed this 🤘🏻

I love to think that everyone in the room is absolutely blown away by the response this is getting on TH-cam! They had no idea they were witnessing an absolute legend
The fact nobody there appreciates how technical Wills guitar parts are is criminal. Good shit brother!
25% shorts
100% skill
Legend.

Jesus Christ kid, you killed it. Violently. Keep it up and someday some kid is gonna play one of your songs at their Talent Show.
Your classmates didn’t even deserve this performance. Flawless bro
You have made a lot of us old heads quite happy, it seems. Good job little bro
Are we the old heads now? I guess so lol
Dude this is so indistinguishable from Will Swan's guitar playing its so good. Also another Gen Z fan of this band and other simillar post-hardcore bands like Hail The Sun.
You migh not have been ready for that but your kids are gonna love it
Not sure what you mean by that... Should I add this to my growing list of weird ahhh comments? 🤔 Oh well, have a heart anyways.

Thank you so much Joseph. This is meaningful to me 😌🤘
Bet he went around asking other people to be in the band for the song but no one else has the talent!! fkn smashed it!
I'm 42, I've been playing for nearly 30 years. I can't do this. Really excellent job. Nice recovery when you computer stopped, too!
damn that’s wild. 30 years and you can’t play this? what can you play?
@@adellachris I play with your mom. That's pretty fun.
One minute, lemme grab my popcorn 🍿
Thank goodness they cheered. I was worried they wouldn’t recognize you killed that! Its not super approachable music, but I feel like anyone should be able to appreciate those tasty guitar licks
Nice to see the younger generation still getting down to some Swancore.
This is insane. Holy shit that’s so damn awesome, RESPECT
I don’t like how their heads aren’t moving
There are no tears being shed

@@lucasdjents that’s crap man, but to be expected 😭 as long as you know that you did well and if you’re proud of yourself, that’s all that matters
the amount of talent it takes to do this is INSANE
omg the tone is spot on, u killed it
This was one of the best guitar covers I’ve ever seen. I’ve heard Will play this worse live himself 😂
This means a lot to me because I tried to make this sound as indistinguishable from the original as I could! Thank you so muchhhh 🤘
This is a tragedy - they probably didn’t truly appreciate what they got to witness. Well done! Thanks for sharing
This is a victory now, though. He uploaded and we all heard the call. I remember when we were young and nobody understood. Now we get to help them avoid that :)
If only they knew man. Making all the dgd fans proud with this one
Of all the iterations, yeah, you're the sickest dude!
Fighting cow! How could we forget about you!
Super glad this video was recently uploaded, hope you see this.
You killed it, what an excellent choice of a song to go and perform and you really brought that swancore loaded. I would’ve lost my shit had I been there
0:42 man that was delicious! Well done.
Id be losing my mind in the crowd. You did great, kid.

I can tell you were enjoying urself dude, that was awesomee
Absolutely fucking fire. They had no clue of the pure amazing chords you were about to rip. Great stuff
Surprised the school let you play this song lol great job, my dude!
dance gavin dance is god tier and you did them justice nice job dude !!! 10/10
Nah this goes hard and we need to be the judges fr, you’re winning the final idc
The ppl there didn't deserve this amazing performance! Amazing job bro!
Absolutely incredible, dude. Sorry that you didn't get the reception you deserve. This was dope.
absolutely fucking BASED, love me some dgd and artifical selection is one of if not my favorite album
dude i would have been losing my mind, amazing
Very impressive performance. Not only nailed the time signatures, but the technical acumen on achieving identical tonal patterns is immense. Kudos to you, fine gentleman.
He deserves a better audience
Sickest school ever. Kids playing DGD? Magic the Gathering club?? Might not have hated school as much as I did.
I had to double take the ot magic on the side 😂
Aint no way you lost this talent show. You're insane dude
Thank you so much 🤘🫶
Brother you KILLED it!!!! Maybe the crowd didn't get it, but we do. DGD always stay united!!!
If i was in that cafeteria, we'd be instant best friends lmao
You're way ahead of your time, thank you for showing these kids what music is
Amazing. DGD is not an easy cover, and their guitarists are amazing and complex. This is one of my favorite songs and you held your own.
Give this man a medal. Choice performance man. Its evident you put alot of work into that. Hats off to you brother.
sounded so perfect that i thought the song was doing most of the playing until the end. ROCK SOLID!
I hope you had at least one person in the crowd losing it how amazing this is
THIS IS SO SICK AHHHHH standing ovation from my kitchen in Baltimore, keep it up dude!
Dude your tones are sick!! What a legend. Take the total lack of understanding from the people at your school with a grain of salt. You CRUSHED it, and there’s a crowd who loves this!!
This is actually incredible wow
This is amazing man they don’t know how lucky they are !! I wish someone would have played some DGD at my school there would have been some REALLY enthusiastic and out of tune singing coming from the back
@@SHYSPADEZ Thank you, that means a lot to me!!! That would be an amazing crowd to play for 🤩🤘
You did amazing. These people are clueless
For sure deserved a standing ovation. Keep it up dude!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good job brother they’ll get into this kinda music a few years after y’all graduate, that’s what happened to the people that I grew up with. Stick with it homie.
I would fangirl so hard if someone played this when I was in school
Dude.... THIS WAS INSANE!!! My jaw dropped once I saw u start, I'm no guitar player but it sounds hard as hell! Good stuff man!
I love how you're trying so hard not to go full-tilt metal performance 😂
Somebody get this man a band.
the kids are going to be okay
I mean this in the most sincere way possible: you are an inspiration.
I haven’t picked up my guitars seriously in over 15 years but after watching this I’m really itching to get back into it again
This is the kind of comment that drives me to keep posting music.
I wish I was bold enough to have done that when I was still in school. It took me years to get over my stage fright. Keep this up and the next generation of kids will look up to you in no time!
BRO YOU FUCKING KILLED IT GOODJOB DGD WOULD BE PROUD
you NAILED this gahd damn! Tone is perfect too!
This is insanely hard to do and you killed it! You're crazy talented!
Half of listening to DGD is listening to Will Swan, and you KILLED it. Nice job!
Great job! That crowd does not understand how good this really is
They don’t realize how awesome this is!
Thr 3 chicks in the front row look absolutely appalled. 😂😂😂 good job tho bro. DGD riffs are difficult. Top 5 band for me. Nice job.
I know for a fact you created at least one new DGD fan this day
the worst part of this is that most people probably wouldn't think that this is too difficult of a song unless they are guitar players, since it isn't as flashy as some songs with sweep picking and the such
Yeah when I learnt this I was surprised from the difficulty to. That outro is next level.
@@josephcarrington9686 just dgd in general (granted, I have small fingers)
Been trying to learn Deception by them… Swan is just so dynamic, he’ll jump from the lower frets to the last frets for such short parts but it sounds amazing 😁 my fav guitar player of all time
Some kid did a monologue speech and won probably lol
The winner was actually a freshman who sang "In Summer" from the movie Frozen as a joke 🤣
For what is worth the dude crushed it. Elder emo approved!
This is amazing work
That was super clean! Killed it man.
Got curious and checked out your band, loved what I heard.
Don’t stop playing man🤟🏽
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoy it 🤘
Heck yeah. Good stuff man. Young kids listening to Dance Gavin Dance that's awesome.
Man you could have sent some DGD fans a message so they could have been there to hype this up!
I have little talent and less skill, but I know for sure that Will Swan isn't the easiest guitarist to cover. Ability like this in high school is madness!
Amazing, dude. So beautiful 😭
Awesome job! DGD forever!! His classmates =wtf is this? The adults in charge=wtf is this? lol
Bro... you murdered that!!!! @3:08
awesome. also shout out to the class for respecting you and knowing how good this was by celebrating. gives me hope for the youth
yoo this is fire, you nailed it!🔥
You KILLED that! Absolutely amazing! I'm trynna be like you 😭
That's some insane audio quality for a high school talent show.
I used the same mix as you'll hear in my studio cover of this song, so that probably helps 😂🤘 Tysm!!
You're mostly hearing the original track here, which was well produced.
With the help of Moises, I cut out the guitar parts that I play from the original track. I then used Archetype Asato for my guitar and mixed it as well as I could to make myself cut through.
Brother , I hope you won, because that was so sickk!! That’s one of my favorite songs by them
Thank you so much!! 🤘 I actually lost to a freshman who sang "in summer" from the movie Frozen as a joke to her friends, who happened to be the judges 😅
@@lucasdjents dang man
something tells me this dude, gonna end this set and then get his Red deck and head to the MTG tourny right after through the door
I actually went to the gym and deadlifted 325 after this 🤘 a lot of my good friends are in the MTG club though and I wish I had the money for it haha
@@lucasdjents Mans a beast! Hell yeah
You blessed their ears more than they realize 😆 thank you for this absolute beauty!
jesus christ that was clean!! so sick
If you're not in a band, start looking. I expect you to be touring in 2 years.
Killed it. Nicely done
Dude if the band saw this theyd be amazed, you play just like Will dude, keep killing it
Wowwwwwwwwwww. This is INCREDIBLE. Thank you so much for sharing. You’re great. :)
The fact that a pit did not break out is criminal. You killed it! 🔥
Made me laugh at the end. You have an ear for sure... that guitar tone is perfect! I wasn't sure if you were actually playing at first! Great job! Love that song and D+G+D.
That means a lot to me because one of my goals with this song was to make it sound as indistinguishable from the original as I could 🤘☺️
@@lucasdjentsyou nailed it brother.
Thank you so much!! 😌
