This is awesome because a year after you say this, he posts his 300K subscriber video telling the story of how he quit his job and DID make this his career!
So glad when I'm currently getting to know this channel it already has 90k subs (which is way less than I think it'll have when it is REALLY found out). Such a video like this with only 7,8k shows how people are usually away for the best things on internet. Alex, you're a genius!
"LIVE"...... no it's NOT. None of it is. This is a mime performance to a prerecorded backing track. I don't get it dude.. why lie? I could tell from the start this wasn't actually live looped at all. This is all prerecorded. I can see the open iTunes file on your computer at 0:55, 2:07. Yet you tell Chris Gandy 2 days ago that you are using Ableton... which is no where to be seen here. Because it didn't need to be open. iTunes did though. Which is why I can see it open on your computer playing the file you are "performing" to. Really just miming to a prerecorded track. This is NOT live. At all. I'm calling you out bro. And mostly because I REALLY like what you do and I think you have great talent. This is a gross lie. For the nail in the coffin, I only need to point to your worst slip up here... 3:05. You know it. You edited it in... why? Who knows... it's the biggest give away that none of this is live. Especially your vocals. Maybe you left it in because you wanted to be called out? 3:05 "is it cool"... you don't sing "is it" at all and even if you did, you're a foot away from the mic... so it wouldn't have been picked up and recorded so clearly. Not to mention those vocals were clearly not sung on a dynamic mic... lmao... I'm not gonna let this one slide my dude. You gotta apologize to your supporters. This is blatant deception. You're better than this.
thisjerksaguy hey! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I know you probably spent a decent amount of time on this, and I’m really sorry to burst your bubble here. I sincerely thank you for caring about integrity, it’s important. This is live, and yes the vocals were tracked with that SM58, it’s not hard to add EQ and compression to a dynamic mic to make it sound nice. I only have access to a certain amount of camera gear, and in order to make the video more visually interesting, I did what is called “pick up shots” by some in the biz, where I grab a few new camera angles afterwards to sync up with the live angles I got in the real take. So a few angles were lip syncing to my “actual” live looping performance, but the rest of the angles are legit. This is accepted practice in the community. I have nothing to prove to you, sir, and most creators would delete your comment at the very least. But I also believe in integrity, and there are a lot of lies out there in videos like this, for the sake of views. If you know my channel at all, I try to be as true to myself as I can be without chasing trends and views. There is no reason to lie here, and I have nothing to gain from lying. Insert obligatory “this guy’s a jerk” joke here
Alex Melton tbh, wether the video is actually live or not, it’s still an impressive arrangement and performance. It’s a shame some people have nothing better to do than shit all over someone else’s art.
Great job on the cover I just wish someone would try this at a faster tempo like at the 1.25 speed setting it because it ROCKS IMO. Much success in your musically career however.
I can't believe this only has 11k views. Dude, you're so wildly talented. This WILL be your career.

Damn dude, nice :D
Nimble Slayer you da best
This is absolutely amazing ! I'm a songwriting student so I hear a lot of artist and you truly astonished me

This was rad! Are you using Ableton for looping?
Kitzy yes!
Alex Melton I’d love to see a tutorial video on this. 😊

May be a dumb question, but what are you using to loop? I usually use my Boss pedal with my guitar and mic. This looks so much more versatile!
Chris Gandy I mapped my keyboard controls to Ableton and was able to set up a looping situation on there! It is basically midi controlling my computer
this is as good or better than the original
Great job on the cover I just wish someone would try this at a faster tempo like at the 1.25 speed setting it because it ROCKS IMO. Much success in your musically career however.
