I Was Not Prepared For This. 

That’s normal in the UK

His new band is called dios

Was just scrolling to see if anyone had mentioned Charles lol. I second that notion!

Charles is the bass master.

@@adrianhelyar3186 You sound like Davie 504 when he's jealous because somebody mentioned Charles instead of him 😂

also nate navarro if we're naming YT bassists

Yes. Charles is better than Victor Wooten at this point. Amazing. I hope he gets out and makes some music with a live band.

True, True

yes. amazing. what remains, remains to be seen. and heard....

And i think hes only playing for like 6-7 years or something? At least thats what i remember from a Q&A

Correct me if I’m wrong but I feel as if he was doing well before doing RU-vid shorts. I definitely remember stumbling on him a couple years ago in my recommended rather than youtube shorts.

If there's a heaven he'll be there playing that....but you can only do that kind of playing on a expensive guitar set up with feather light action etc I'd like to see him play a £50 guitar and do that!

You'd think he would have been playing for well over a decade! After only 3 years of playing he was amazing, though I think he's been playing for 6-7 years now. He's a fast learner.

Snap!

Same! My playlists has NEVER been so good.

Agaiiiiiin.....

Also, Ichika Nito is astonishing

same, seems the youtube gods want everyone to listen to him

I think it's like a hybrid of chicken picking and finger tapping, I think BH does it in ''Drift'' and some other songs, can't even remember the names

This video dedicated 7 x 7 second snips give or take to 2.00 mins. worth of performance. Yeah "mediculous".

Yes, Justin, you got to put THAT on a Tshirt!!!!!!!!!! Justin is mediculous🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Hahah :D

Didn't know they had a new band brb gonna listen now

Agreed would be cool because LP and The Darkness were my 2 favourite bands back in the day, Justin should see what they're up to now for closure over the whole...situation. Still can't believe that happened but the rest of them did nothing wrong, talented guys.

Gee, I wonder why they no longer go by Lost Prophets. It's almost as if that name will forever be associated with one of the most evil musicians ever.

Yep!

It’s even worse than that. Here in the garden of England, you might be a Man of Kent, not to be confused with Kentish Man.

Go on Levi, you know you want to do it.

@@GordonPavilion if Ichika wants a book, he knows where to find me. Not worth the work and then copyright claim to do it on YT. Did one already.

I think you're underestimating yourself and others a bit. Have you tried doing nothing but play the guitar for like 1 year straight? Nothing else, just play guitar in all of your free time. Do that for a year and see if you still think like that. Because it's all about passion.

@@glp.1337 I've been playing guitar for 25 years. I studied Music at University for 3 years, and pretty much did nothing but play and learn guitar every day for like 5 years straight... I was a full time musician for 7 years after University, so I got good, but no where near that level! - You may be underestimating just how good he is!!!

@@olihughes oh wow, that's quite the resumé! I might be underestimating him then. I just can't imagine not being able to achieve it when the only thing you're doing is playing guitar. You say you learned and played guitar every day for like 5 years. How many hours a day would you say you were playing? Because we might have a different approach/understanding of obsessively playing.

@@glp.1337 My main way of learning the instrument was learning songs. I'm completely self taught. I've never had a teacher and I never really learnt scales or did practice routines to a metronome or anything like that. But I would regularly spend 5-6 hours a day for days and weeks at a time learning one song or a riff or solo - I'm a big heavy metal fan and for about 8 years (when I really took it seriously and practiced a lot) I practiced and learnt the techniques which would enable me to play the songs I wanted to play, and the more metal I discovered, the more technical and difficult the guitar techniques I wanted to learn got. But when I was "on a mission" I would spend hours and hours going over the same parts over and over again - The most obssessed I got was learning "Everything Went Black - The Black Dahlia Murder" I spent about 2 months learning each riff methodically for hours and hours almost every single day and pretty much didn't play anything else. Then after about 15 years of listening exclusively to Metal I needed a break 🤣. I started listening to Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, SRV - I got more into blues, folk and the songwriting side of things, that's when I started performing (I'd done a few metal gigs but for fun with my mates, nothing paid or serious), I taught myself how to sing and play on an acoustic, plus I learnt drums and bass, which was a lot easier to pick up from a technical point of view, but I learnt how to 'perform', so I'm much more of a jack of all trades master of none - If I had spent the whole time still playing and learning metal to the same extent I was in my early 20s then I'd probably be closer to this sort of virtuoso standard but I got older and my interestes widened both in and out of music, and I'm less 'obssessive' now. I play for fun and sometimes go 3 days without playing, which was unheard of in my 20s, plus, I don't play much electric anymore and can't play a lot of the stuff I used to be able to play 😪 TLDR; this guys playing is the result of 15-20 years of excessively practicing one craft religiously, and being an absolute master of one style of music, whereas I drifted around and learnt lots of different styles to an above average standard. That's the end of my TED Talk 😅

I would also add there are some people that have a natural proclivity towards certain things - for example in sports - some people will train as hard as they can every single day, practice and practice, have the best advice and connections, and opportunities but still can't perform at the standard needed to be the best of the best. I feel I have a reasonably innate understanding, love, and passion for music - I used to wake up at 6am before school so I could watch Queen and Eric Clapton VHSs, but I still think if I could do this all again - I would struggle to get to the same level as this guy - some people are just built different!!

Saw them in concert. It was amazing. All our local hipsters didn't appreciate the metal though 🤘🏻

@@revwillyg6450 I’m so jealous! I’d LOVE to see them live, but have never been able to get to one of their gigs… maybe one day! 🥰

Oh god, the 'filming in my car with the camera pointing right up my nostrils' RU-vidr

@@jack-a-lopium Nostrils Hawkins Drives again would be a smash hit

They both suck.

Real

Had a good chuckle at that
