As a lifelong guitarist.... I kindly thank you for attempting that guitar throwing around the body thing so we don't have to 😂

I'm impressed by the progress you made with the trumpet in 1 hour. I've played the flute for a while and it has a similar thing going on with the embouchure. I've heard that the trumpet is one of the harder brass instruments to get the embouchure down on.

Brother I've been playing trumpet for 18 years now and you accomplished in like an hour what took me a month to do when I was first starting out. Hell of a job!

trumpet progress is real dude! i’ve been playing for almost 9 years now and the best advice i’ve heard is to tighten the corners, just the corners of your lips, and make sure you are pushing air with your diaphragm. also, think of it like your blowing air through the horn, not into it. hope this helps!

I was chuckling after "it's been submerged" and the pool jumping clip, but then the it cuts back with "several times..." delivered deadpan and I gaffawed. Yet again SG's timing proves to be golden... 😆

The “hambone” thing 2:57 here was hilarious

I don't think I had a full octave on trumpet until I'd been playing for months. Much respect!

Great job on the trumpet! That was leaps and bounds better than my first hours attempting

Seems you've been working on your editing as well as your musical skills! It didn't go unnoticed :)

I love that the hand whistling thing was the hardest of these. Honestly it's the most tempting one to learn myself too, might have to look into this

The last one with the spoon is actually really cool! You can play the rhythm and melody on the same guitar! That is definitely something I want to learn myself. Always love your videos, keep up the amazing work!

Flipping the guitar is like working a hula-hoop. You have to add centrifugal force by swinging your body a bit.

Speaking of guitar/brass crossovers, there's a cool Trent Hamilton video where he shows the relative pitch distance each of the valves gives you and shows how combinations of valves don't line up with guitar frets, which is why valved brass need tunable valves.

This is my favorite video you’ve done. I’ve been scared of sweep picking for so long. You’re inspiring.

I LOVE the "you can do it" message at the end of this. It was fun watching you try all these skills, but that little hook at the end zipped the video into inspirational territory. I feel like I can use this as inspiration to pump up my own guitar skills. Thanks, Sammy G!

Some cool Mike Boyd vibes here. It's amazing what a person can learn when they go "all in" on learning.

This was awesome! I love the branching out along with the cinematography!

this video was SO much fun to watch

0:42 I totally felt that reaction 💔

A really crazy dance move to learn is the GROUCHO swinging leg thing. It looks insane, he made it look easy, and brother, it will WEAR YOU OUT.

The microtonal trumpet jam was badass

I hear you on the trumpet. One of my favorite songs of all times is Hands by Moving Mountains- the way the trumpet (and some other brass) comes in on the crescendo absolutely makes the song soar.

I once played a gig with this band where the guitarist was playing a brand new $1000 guitar, he went to do a guitar flip and it fell off the strap and the headstock broke right off. It was one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen

You had me at the trumpet...and then you moonwalked all the way to spoon guitar. Thanks for sharing your journey and the joy of learning.

I'm inspired. Here is my list of skills to learn today. Playing on the 1. Playing on the 1-and. Playing on the 2. Playing on the 2-and. etc

The commitment to put all this work into 1 video! I wish I could like this more than once

I loved everything about this video. I am also a father who was unable to whistle with the power of banshee scream. Now there are a dozen stray dogs in my garden...what power!

I've been learning the drums for a couple of months now, and this feels like a bad omen

This one goes out to you, Trevor ✊️

This is actually a great idea to commit to learning a new skill for 1 hour.. and the trumpet was actually impressive.. I'm tempted to buy one now..

I made the first move back in the 90s with one of my first guitars. No strap locks, though. I have had to screw my head (guitar head) back together because the guitar went straight to the floor head first.

Love the energy and editing on this one. Keep it up!

My grandfather can whistle louder than anyone I’ve ever heard. As a kid, I could hear him whistle for me from blocks away and I don’t even think he uses his hand! So as a father of two myself, I also decided to finally learn it a few months ago. I still need to work on consistency, but the one time I really did it I had no idea I did it because it was so loud I basically deafened myself temporarily and my wife, who was sitting next to me and doesn’t have great hearing, assured me that I had done it. I basically only heard the echo of it in my house but it was like I had imagined it. Thankfully my kids are sound sleepers who sleep with loud white noise since we have a small house. 😂

LOL as a trumpet player, I'd forgotten how hard it was to learn to get good tone

I did the guitar spin when I was a kid after seeing Steve Vai do it. I think he pushed it backwards though. It was pretty cool the first 5 times before it went flying.

Loved the editing and videography style in this video!!

Hey Sammy! That video was just hilarious as always. Love your content keep it up and greetings from Germany ☺️

it’s amazing to me how you can rock doing a silly video like this. please to keep them coming, serious *or* silly. I need all the relief from my condition that I can get.

The trumpet bit was really cool for me, I have played a lot of trumpet in my past and still dable with it from time to time, and yeah it was cool that you were able to figure out how it makes sound in an hour

Love it Sammy G! Always a pleasure to see a new video from you!

This was a fun episode ! Good job on the trumpet ! That was impressive !

Awesome cinematography. Loved the transitions!

Definitely have been to a local show and the guitarist did the flip, and definitely watched the screw dislodge, but it was the other one than you did on yours

This was a really cool vid, keep it up

SPOONMAN!! (this was a fantastic video as usual Sammy G, i can't wait to see the next incarnation of it! keep up the good work!!)

You had me cackling with your trumpet skills XD I could never!

Love this video! I've tried almost everything in the video but I gave up pretty quickly. This video inspired me to retry the drumstick spin trick.

Im so happy your course is on sale SammyG, Ive started playing guitar again since before lockdown and am genuinly having so much fun on the instrument for the first time I can remember, was toying with the idea of buying your course so Im gonna treat myself to an early XMas present!!

Very cool video...great job. Enjoy your new skills!

Coolest drumstick trick I ever learned was to throw it on the floor so hard and on such an angle it bounced back to my hand

I wasn't expecting the uplifting message at the end. Thanks, Sammy.

Great content as always , thank you 🙂

I'm impressed by the improvement in an hour of trumpeting. Right on!

2:57 Me looking for my keys and phone. XD

“I could probably spend an hour practicing drums… but I’m gonna practice twirling this instead” You just summed up my entire musical career in one sentence

> Takes all precautions - Guitar still hits ceiling, Strap comes off, Still ends up on floor. You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

Bravo! The donkey part and the spoon are priceless!

The results of the trumpet one are genuinely impressive. I’d love to see you continue to progress with that

Greetings from Mexico!!! this is one of your funniest videos

You blew my mind with the whistle! I had no idea of the tongue position! Thank you soooo much! I can finally start this journey! Hahahahaha 😄

I have never been able to play the guitar, despite giving it a real go. I've always managed the swingy-instrument-on-a-strap thingy really well though, so I guess we're evenly matched with that instrument.

Excellent work Sami G!

0:57 I see what you did there 😂

That super smooth transition into the drum section!

I really like the rhythmic choices in the sweep part.

Great work Sammy G!

What kind of sick monstrous savage sweep picks on the bridge pickup?! YOU SIR ARE AN UNSPEAKABLE CAD!

I played trumpet for 8 years. I'm genuinely impressed you were able to get that good at trumpet in under an hour.

Impressive on all counts. Nice edit when you dropped the stick.

5:02 haven´t played trumper in....ever. But that explanaition makes me imagine it´s in it´s own way, similar to playing pinch harmonics in a guitar, cause each one needs your picking to be precisely on one spot and can be easily messed up

Excellent video

The sweep picking and the spoon were inspiring. But damn, “Trevor“ must’ve done something bad to get put on blast TWICE😂😂😂

I really enjoy your New signature closer, it's just so wholesome

I practiced the hamboning on both sides to the tune of We will rock you since it’s the same basic rhythm and consistent all the way through. Seems like a good skill to continue building especially for the casual musician. I can see myself sitting around a campfire or similar setting with my friends and if I’m not playing some basic guitar I could or somebody else could do this and just sing together. That’s as far as I’ve gotten so far but I’m tempted to learn the guitar swing trick too 😂 This was a really cool video concept man.

great video! you inspired me to try and learn sweep picking too!

As a former trumpet player (also French horn) before moving briefly to electric bass then electric guitar, this video made my day. Watching you try and play the trumpet made me giggle! I may never play guitar at a level that even approaches your ability (or any other RU-vidr's for that matter), but I'll always have the satisfaction of knowing that my rudimentary trumpet playing skills from high school marching band would win that category. BTW, every newbie trumpet player learns to play "Taps" (because it has the easiest fingering for a newbie) the same as every newbie guitarist (of my era) learned to play "Smoke on the Water".

“Everyone’s dad” 🤣 That comment about the whistle is soooo true!

The way you bashed the rotating drumstick out of your hand sending it flying is exactly what I experienced on accident, denting the flawless CAR-finish of my Gretsch 😅

That lil trumpet toot! 🤗

Holy F, Sammy you killed that cover of When the Saints.... Seriously you slaughtered it and then dragged the dead carcass under your car for half a mile. I laughed so hard!

great video + great editing

5:50 Upset infant trumpet

Thanks Sammy G... now I have to figure out how to whistle like that now too. Always wanted to, but could never get it.... off down the YT rabbit hole!!!!

I just love this guy so much

The guitar flip is considerably easier if you throw it the opposite direction (bottom first) - as shown at 0:12 - though I would throw it using the body and not the neck as throwing it by the neck seems to make the orbit a bit squiffy. It also tends to look a lot smoother bottom-first, and from what I’ve seen, slightly less people seem to break their guitars this way than by trying the “neck first” method. 😂🙌🏻

Absolute fire 🔥

Trumpet was hella impressive! You basically did what most new players do in about a week, within an hour. XD hells ya!

Ahahaha yes the screw coming out. I ended up throwing mine across the room in my earlier years. That guitar went through much there was only the neck left of it which I held onto for a long time. Until gremlins stole it or something no idea what happened to it. I love the last bit with the spoon hahaha I have to give that a try next time I get the rust out.

I've been wondering how to do some of these tricks, so this will be very helpful. Thanks!

This is just incredible

So many spoons, so little time. Great video. Cheers....

im falling in love with your dry sense of humour :)

Good job on that trumpet! The late, great Freddie Hubbard would be proud.

That hambone thing looks like you’re doing some insane Yoyo tricks sitting down

the inner ska sami g is crying at that trumpet playing lol (you once said you were in a ska bandright?), . also the facial expressions during the guitar flip ha.

4:33 Oh you sweet summer child. You picked one of the hardest

i loved the spoon guitar part❤️

I’ll be honest, this was incredibly inspiring. It really got me, I don’t know why…great video.

Nobody was better at the guitar flip than Tom Keifer and the late Jeff LeBar of 80's rock band Cinderella. They're synchronization of the guitar flip took it to an all new level of badass.
