Ernie Ball: String Theory featuring Mac DeMarco 

Ever listened to Ween ? That band inspired the cartoon

What's that song called

Hahahaha fr

@@JohnDoe-bm5lp ween is great, but I am pretty sure the sample people think of when they think of SpongeBob is actually Chet Atkins, specifically a song on his album "Chet Atkins in three dimensions"

huahuahuahua huehuehuehue does that go for “Waving My Dick In The Wind” too?

Marcos Ruiz same brochacho

Marcos Ruiz same lol

Same fking clickbait

I actually avoided this video for ages because that's what I thought I was going to get lol I suppose it wouldn't have been that bad anyway seeing as it's Mac

Marcos Ruiz me 2 unu

I think it would be, "ew what's wrong with him." til they realize he's a some what popular, charismatic musician.

@Raul Martinez lmao i feel u u pretty sob

Shiiit they end up guzzling his custard. 🤣

Me

Because then they find out he has money and fame

justawful shit I'd buy em

stick to D'addario

Or maybe a pack of Viceroys.

For the love of benji, smoke meth instead. Way healthier.

A Tree you know D:

agreed

Maybe Nardwuar's

Watch the one with fender, he's playing the stars keep on calling my name in the back but he changed it up and it's craaaazy

The fender one is so good

@@Wetwli he played it w capo on 2nd fret and the tone is so gorgeous, it's so fkn nice

He just always has some good words to spread

Raskeir :)

Kieran Broughton because he's bum sheik 😎

he has been trying to be heard for a long time

Very original

Word to the mother .

I said the same thing

fucking deep

God bless it :)

G3M333 yes

TBH for his next album I wish he would just stop speaking and let his guitar sing.

If you want an instrumental Mac album check out Some Other Ones. It's an instrumental album he quietly dropped on Bandcamp.

Seemed like he was messing around with a CR78 for this, though.

pretty sure he was messing with that cr78 and they were recording with ableton

john doe yeah me too. it's really chill and unique. I appreciate that he doesn't feel the need to show off and play a million notes a second... to me that gets so boring... in my opinion, when someone can play as few notes as possible and still create something special that grabs your attention, without having to wank off as fast and technical as possible, is what makes a great guitar player and musician.

john doe wish he had a guide to get his sound!

Single-coil pickups with a healthy dollop of chorus and BOOM, you're Mac!

just gotta get that sweet vibrato sound

Matt Glista don't forget the most important piece... PITCH SHIFT!

Yeah i thought that too for some reason.

Honestly, same

Straighten the tuning pegs all even and it accomplishes the same thing

is that really your first time hearing a guitarist say that?

it makes your ears work harder

Main reason I own more than two guitars. Keep one in some alternate tuning to get you out of a rut.

I don't even play in standard anymore. I just detune the guitar until something sounds awesome. Thank you sonic youth, my bloody valentine.

treat her better boy is the song if you dont know

DUDE SAME

Yeah same here! I forget so much to just enjoy it like mac says. If it makes you happy that's what matters. I needed that reminded

the man spoke to my heart

James Gonzalez It's kind of hard to take your sentiments seriously when you use 420 Blaze It Stephen Hawking as your profile picture

Nate David was it makeout videotape?

Who's your teacher

And now he has the cleanest guitar tone possible.

Yo I’m from Edmonton as well

5:12 is "Girl from Ipanema" by Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto

I didn't even catch that the first two chords are kinda the same, seems like Mac's kinda memeing a bossa nova type chug a bit, would be cool to hear something in that style from him, especially the Treat Her Better version, those chords sound good all on their own.

I see y'all men of culture as well

Owen god bless u for ever I was trying to find the first song

Where do I find the full version of this version of „Me and Jon hangin on“?

Phillip Poggi you're wrong

What are you talking about that looks nothing like him. That looks like bon Iver

haha thats hilarious bro its funny cuz it is him

@@gumquamare8461 r/whoosh

Who's Mac DeMarco?

plsjustk1ll me there's a lot of them

Lord Fupa he thinks hes cool and thinks mac is some special hidden lofi gem nothing against him though

justinnickovtime how'd that go? Lol

@@akillersandwich8360 well, we can assume it didnt great

Shoot for the moon! Cuz if you miss the cold vacuum of space will suck yer eyeballs clean from their sockets.

bro, that´s exactly what i thought

hes a total role model for me, not necessarily the smoking part, but his authenticity and like his view on life I guess.

then you not straight my mans

"no, its not that,"

Straight male. Says GetSumNutz.

GetSumNutz your gay that's why

So sick to see someone showing appreciation for like one video, I wouldn't normally comment on like a singular interview but you did, and it's cool to see someone else throw out their raw thoughts like that, cheers to you bra

Lovin the positivity

I looked for this comment as soon as I heard it! I couldn't believe he was playing it lol

Jacob Phillips It's whatever, man.

Omg I just realized wtf

He can write a song with that haha

@RizeKrispy just like Paul McCartney* you know

twin cabins

Cromulon pile of millions of dollars ? You are joking right ? Because Mac certainly don't make that kind of money. He's not selling out stadiums like Beyonce or Adele. And musicians nowadays don't sell CD anymore. And they get 0.05$ per listen on spotify or something.

Banzai they make way less than that on Spotify.

Banzai he would definitely be a millionaire if he made that much from Spotify, I mean chamber of reflection has somewhere around 60 million listens- which would be 3 million dollars at 5 cents, just for that song

Banzai Tf you talking about Mac Demarco’s net worth is around 3 million

@@awesomecentar4233 net worth isn't the same as how much money you have sitting in your bank at any one time

MalyRasta 420 literally picked one of these up from a curb. Someone was throwing it out because two strings were broken

Tony Glenn wow lucky find bro!

MalyRasta 420 it's not just a Squier, I believe it's a Japanese Squier. They're hand-built and more comparable to MIM Stratocasters.

MalyRasta 420 I remember when I told my dad "hey I'm thinking about getting this guitar, it's a Mexican Stratocaster! They're sought after and you can get them for a good price if you look hard enough..." (mind you he has no idea what I'm saying and hated the fact I spent all my time in high school trying to play) and he looked at me like I was retarded. That also showed how racist he was to me and I lost out on a beautiful white with mint pickguard strat for $225

It appears to be the waynes world excalibur strat. Made in japan in the early 90s. I love mine. Badass lil guitar.

I got in free to a big gig of his in London, and for the first 45 minuites the audience sang along to all the songs, then he literally gave up , stood for 45 minuites on top of an amp drinking beer and letting the rest of the band take the mic and goof off, really pissed me off that night , I’d have thrown by she square at his head , but I didn’t want to waste a pair. If I’d have paid... I wouldn’t have watched this video today

Brady Hilgenberg him and Mark Speer are my all time top favorites

crycry channel looks normal rm temp to me

Do you know what song he's playing in the beginning?

NinJaRed ERNIE please!

ERNIE! ERNIE! ERNIE! ERNIE!

The whole school starts chanting Ernie's name! LOL

thatd be so amazing!

NinJaRed no joke, I just found this comment randomly Jared. That’s never happened to me with anyone before hahaha.

Levitog Bass thats probobly what was going through his mind then he changed it up

What are tens and fourteens? Would you please explain? Thanks

@@kozhikkaalan guitar strings gauges, like lighter or thicker strings. Lighter strong can have a more light, mellow or chirpy sound, thicker strings have a heavier sound, more bassy, more thump, u know2

MrUtadaSing i know i’m replying a little late, but thank you for explaining this :)

MrUtadaSing String gauge doesn’t affect tone lol

@@Dampzombieslayer it does tho... put on .12s and compare it to 11s or 10s...

Valeria MAD Sons adult swim sucks

that would be gay

No

This comment made me see my guitar as a friend haha. That’s actually a decent idea

Ima see him too! Are you seeing him with the flaming lips? I'm seeing him in st. paul, mn @ Myth Live!!!!!

Radio City my dude?

Yep. Biggest thing that resonated with me to keep in mind was what he said about how he “couldn’t write songs until he was as good as this person or that person”. I’ve been playing guitar consistently the past 2 years and I’ve been telling myself a lot that songwriting is out of my reach, but hearing someone like Mac who’s made albums and played gigs say that he had those doubts is so comforting and great to hear. I don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Most of my favorite songs are just power chord rockers or a couple short riffs. Just wanna do my best to write something I like and is unique enough to be proud of

John Boone I caught that too! Sick man.

Woahh wtf ..... people have been asking him to play that song live for years but he says he won’t because he has forgotten how to play it but he obviously hasn’t ....

Boi

nobody nerd

Nobody ya creep
