Sounds of JRPG via Warr Guitar (no it is not misspelled) 0:41 - 2:27 Forrest Theme 2:28 - 2:42 Boss Encounter 2:42 - 2:47 Battle Initiation 2:47 - 3:33 Boss Fight!
Actually it is because makers of JRPGs and Japanese people in general are huge fans of European thematic music. They borrowed it and modified the style a little for games so that it’s more pleasant when repeating over and over. Mostly it’s from thematic classical music.
everyone comments on the guitar itself but I love the music he made with it. I've listened to it about 10 times now. it does remind me of yes like 1 person commented.
I remember i saw this on 2013, i was bored as hell and suddenly into UA-cam recomendations i saw this, and since then i just can't get enough of this video, it just feels so damn relaxing when i'm listening to it, it's just magical.
rumor has it when the string snapped, it stretched to the heavens and god himself returned it to the headstock and tuned it himself.....and it was good.
"I've been sick the whole week, and I only got to spend 45 minutes on what I hope to peform" sounds like; "me and KG wrote this song 5 minutes ago" and then play the most awesome shit ever
Every video that shows someone playing a guitar with a crazy extended range has a hundred people in the comments saying that they respect the musicianship but it sounds terrible. What the hell do you want it to sound like? This was a perfect jazzy neo-classical type piece. He accomplished what he wanted to accomplish, how could you possibly say that it sounds bad objectively?
Inevitable Truth That took me an entire day to measure and set up. Unless you're willing to deal with bollocks like this, don't get one. They're an amazing creative tool, but holy fuck are they annoying to work with.
+Flesh Coffin dude you need to see rob's actual music he has videos for. I honestly don't even know why he needs so many strings, he says so high up on the fretboard.
The comments here are absolute gold. I really like this music. Very reflective. I’m glad I got an opportunity to watch and hear this. I think, generally, these instruments are ridiculous. Overkill. But man. When you get it sounding like that- holy shit! Plus, it has a cool name
RJ Macready, I thought it was good but it's not my thing. I like good old fashion alternate pick strokes. Folk/bluegrass/jazz (Old Slipknot fan who went acoustic)
to all the people giving shit to him... its not meant to be just a regular guitar music is a creative outlet used by everyone although the song or style might not be your thing it does take a hell of a lot of skill to do so although the guitar looks odd and yes strings may cost a fortune this man loves the art he creats why stop him?
To even make an instrument this crazy sound good and use it to its full potential, you have to have a very strong understanding of theory. Unlike your average 6 string guitarists who can memorize chord shapes, there's not really much specific instruction for these super instruments.
+Davey R Why is this super instrument? It's just two hand tapping. No matter how many strings you add the technique is the same. If people can learn to play piano or organ (where you even have keyboard for legs), they can also learn play two hand tapping on guitar. Technique exists probably for centuries .
Active pickups. probably some level of overdrive and some obvious reverb/delay. tons of little things can help. another thing is just getting better at tapping/hammering cause a bad technique reeeeallly shows when it come to that.
Luis S well then it's not a harp anymore then is it? when it gains a fretboard, it becomes a lute, and is no longer a harp. though arguably lutes don't have to have fretboards to be lutes, or maybe they're lyres. in any case, guitars are basically lutes.
+Turdsplosion Using a higher end electric piano, some of them come with either a dial or a touchpad that allows you to have the same type of effect as bending or sliding on a string instrument.
+lucas “lucas88” dessimoiz lol omg pwnd!!!!111!! grats man. Now go talk to some actual musicians about how digital simulation of pitch bending vibrato and sliding isn't the same as stringed instrument. LOL OMG COUTNER ATTACKED!!!! ez mid, gg

Reminds me of Emerson laKe and palmer
For something called a War Guitar it plays the most clean and beautiful music ever.

in hell they make you tune these
Tuning a sitar is way worse
In hell you only get a kazoo!
If you have ever changed the strings on an autoharp, you know that this would be easy to tune.
steven goldfinger In hell they make you tune Floyd Rose variations and make you change string gauges.
No, in hell they make you change the strings of this with a floyd rose using only your teeth
the sound reminds me of those video games from the 90s
Octavio Perez like ff7
sonic
+bentnob yeeeees
Octavio Perez Zelda at first and near middle
ff7 for sur (maybe underwater)
rumour has it he once snapped a string........but it didn't matter, no one noticed.....
rumour has it he went to a luthier to change the strings after the concert, the luthier is still changing strings nowadays
rumor has it when the string snapped, it stretched to the heavens and god himself returned it to the headstock and tuned it himself.....and it was good.
Rumor has it that most pianos don't have that many octaves.
Rumor has that the string reached the depths of hell and Satan himself returned it

This is what guitars will look like in Djent music in 2 years.
Pretty sure Djent will be gone by the end of 2017, if not allready.
CrispyCakes
nope, they'll use electric harps
Slayer Ooooh.
It's not gonna be gone ever and no, 8-string are the limit for most, maybe 3-4 use nine strings. Most are sticking to seven.
Ithought djent was going to less strings. :P
lovely sounds, but fuck tuning that.
x''''D
laughing my ass of right now x'D
Re-stringing is even worse.
and another re-stringing could be worse
Try doing a full set-up...I would quit if I was a tech.
imagine going to guitar lessons and bring this
Man, I have been coming back and watching this again about once a year, it's still wicked.
same here
Imagine having to realign the neck from all the string tension. There's probably at least 200-250 lbs of pressure on that coffee table.
If that neck snaps, the strings will go full "Ghostship'...
so you're saying the guitar can bench two fifty then. not too shabby.
Can definitely hear some intonation issues going on there.

+Flesh Coffin dude you need to see rob's actual music he has videos for. I honestly don't even know why he needs so many strings, he says so high up on the fretboard.
Or Tosin Abasi.
I just came across this guy after having stumbled upon Rob's work for the first time a few minutes ago.
+Scott Boyd Yeah, there's a chance he could actually make it sound good unlike this utter unmelodic poop.
wow, such amazing talent! those timings are hard to play with one hand, let alone two. this was just phenomenal. thanks for sharing. love prog rock
I love how introvert musicians come on stage all nervous and apologetic then completely SLAY!
Just when I thought he was gonna drop the sickest chug on that guitar... he goes all folk.
Tony Kravitz i thought he was gonna djent
It sounds more like Progressive than folk xD
This is math rock not folk how could u Tony how could u
Zack Lance it has a feel of Math tapping, but reminds me more to a Tony Levin/Robert Fripp style of jamm
Tony Kravitz i was gonna start a circle pit by myself

its a live performance in what looks like a high school music room, stress and other things involved.. this done right would sound magnificent
It has an AAL touch to it. Throw Matt on the kit behind him and I'm 1000% sure it would sound cool as shit if done :)

Its good, But Does it Djent?
diego ayala wow nice original comment
yes but does it djent?
Is "does it djent" the new Chuck Norris jokes in the guitar world?
It has well beyond 8-strings. That question is almost unnecessary at that point.
"Hey guys does it djent?!? hahah!!! god what a funny, original joke I've just made."
This actually reminds me of some music from the Final Fantasy series of video games.
Efreeti totally

To even make an instrument this crazy sound good and use it to its full potential, you have to have a very strong understanding of theory. Unlike your average 6 string guitarists who can memorize chord shapes, there's not really much specific instruction for these super instruments.
I feel you'd have to be ambidextrous to truly master this
To a point, sure...you have to be willing to embrace tapping....and paying out of the A$$ for a case haha

And..tons of good weeds...
+Davey R Why is this super instrument? It's just two hand tapping. No matter how many strings you add the technique is the same.

How are those notes so audible when just tapping?
Might be running it through a pickup booster?
Active pickups. probably some level of overdrive and some obvious reverb/delay. tons of little things can help. another thing is just getting better at tapping/hammering cause a bad technique reeeeallly shows when it come to that.
hammerons and pull offs not tapping u use ur right finger to tap the fret and left finger to tap the fret to tap a song
the right answear for ur question sir is compressor pedal.. thats the reason why his tapping is that audible
+Thehoboonthestreet No. Tapping is a form of hammer ons, not the other way around.
at that point why not just play the piano
This is a manly alternative
Extra manly points.
because it isn't the same?
