Why wouldn’t they ask the 17 yr old (at the time, 4-1/2 years ago) Tina F’ing S, which is better than all of them technically? She shreds TheDooo, Herman, and Cole! She plays stuff on the guitar that they struggle with. Ex: TheDooo [at 24y/o- - only plays 25 seconds of Moonlight ( actually only 15 seconds). Cole plays it, but not as well as a 17 year old.[and he played it as a 23yo.]. I’ve heard all three. They all do Dr. Viossey’d version. The only danger to her version is

@taylorgang2237 3 года назад

@@frankiek2269 you’re basing it off of one song? One song she likely spent more time practicing? Coles videos are highly edited but thedooo is always playing pretty much live so it’s hard to really compare.

@frankiek2269 3 года назад

@@taylorgang2237 Not one song. TheDooo started playing guitar at 12. That’s “Ironman” and “Smoke on the Water” crap. Look at Tina S at 12. She has her own page also. There is a reason why very notable ppl shouted her out on Twitter, starting at when she was 13. And she played them at that age, as well as TheDooo nowadays. Herman Li, as far as I can tell, is the only one that knows TheDooo, at the young age of 27. Do you think I don’t believe TheDooo is an incredible guitarist? He’s phenomenal! And when you reach the level of mastery that Tina has, of course you can mimic songs with relative, or perfect pitch. Do you think the young lady that played Beethoven (5:56 song averaging 7+ notes/second) can’t play a simple Green Day song first listen? They are famous, like the Ramones, for being a three chord band. I know you’re defending TheDooo. I’m not attacking him. Just pointing out there is a lady out there better than he is, IMO. It is art, so no one is definitively right. Not even me.

@Spazza42 2 года назад

I love the fact that Herman just acknowledges that it takes far too long to learn a song like this and there's not a lot gained from it. I love how he just confesses it's torture and there's not much point to learning it because of how much you need to practice it. There isn't much of a way to express yourself through a song like this either when you have to practice it day in day out just to remember how to play it. Such a humble dude....

@abcdetheridge 3 года назад

Think Herman is saying, as a creator of this song, he knows each individuals part and he finds it interesting seeing other peoples interpretation of the song because most musicians interpret alot by ear or tabs(someone else's interpretation). So if there's two guitarists, you end up learning a bit of both of their parts combined.

@jcsftwre 3 года назад

Herman you are so humble and gracious, positive and objectively critical. As for me not being musical, I love seeing the times you get impressed when someone does a riff that catches you off guard.

De hecho Herman ha tenido problemas con Universal y el puto copyright claim de sus propias canciones. Le pasó en Twitch.

Thanks for speaking honestly regarding the edits, cuts and blends. (8 min ish Mark) I respect you a helluva lot for shooting your viewers straight. Sometimes play throughs are super misleading and are implied that it was an actual 1 pass play through.

I truly believe that Herman has created a piece that will go down in history as a mandatory reference for all guitarists. Just like in its time it was starway to heaven, hotel california, far beyond the sun and many others. Another example of this can be seen with the cover adaptation for guitar the moonlight sonata 3rd. Movement by Ludwig Van Beethoven. So Herman, be happy. You are an obligatory reference for future guitar players.

Love you herman Li!!🤘🏼 seen you guys at open air Chicago in 2017, i still have the video on my phone of you accidentally hitting Frédéric in the nose with your guitar at the end of TTFAF 🤣

Imagine Yngwie being nice enough to do a reaction to someone covering his song. Thanks, Herman, for being so humble.

@datashed 2 года назад

Or a reaction to someone covering Yngwie's attempts at doing stage antics (kicks etc.) after he got old and overweight. Or a cover of Yngwie introducing his row of Marshall stacks, but not his band. Malmsteen is such a narcissist.

@williambrooks276 3 года назад

Even with my limited guitar playing , I understand what Herman is saying about knowing a piece of music so thoroughly especially his own piece

@7Underwood7 3 года назад

The part where he was talking about how "youtubers" tend to *insert point*. quite a bit of truth there.

@edupilos Год назад

feels so strange a playthrough cover so well mixed and recorded, he didn't miss any times, any note, always extremely synchronized with the music and the bpm, I think it is quite "unbelievable", there's even no pick stretch noise in the fastest parts
