All Pop Everything!
I don't think Mac gets as much attention as he deserves when it comes to his guitar playing. So clean, so smooth. His alternate picking and string skipping in this video look so effortless. I think his slacker vibe really disguises how polished of a guitar player he is. Dayum.
I couldn't agree anymore! I saw him two nights ago and he was soloing and man the guy has talent!!
He plays like Johnny Marr.
***** Fonda?
Yeah! I was there on the Sunday night he performed Shrek is Love Shrek is Life
***** Oh ok I was there on monday night, great show
the dude can play the damn guitar
+Kathryn Garelli nice meme arrows
he is seriously good, really unique songwriting too
his guitar writing is ridiculous man
Your username😂 I'm weak. Emerson would be proud
yes he can
Mac, referring to the song: That works?
Me, choking back tears: yeah man
No kidding, this one really hits close to home. I don’t know how Mac does it; he’s very gifted.
his picking is so clean wtf
He's definitely a better guitarist than he lets on.
exactly. that's what i love about the Demarco music. the image is all lazy and slacker and whatnot but at the root of it all is just fucking amazing musicianship!
he (and the band onstage) very clearly practice their asses off & i respect the hell out of it for sure
dedication, devotion
Champagne Seany he’s a genius
And he's singing too, it blows my mind how fucking good Mac is on the guitar
When I grow up I want to be Mac Demarco.
me, every single day
First step, get those fucking shitty headphones out of your profile pic.
+Cally Quinn second don't give a fuck and smoke 👌
Matty O third work at like 13 different minnimum wage jobs and then tour with the japanroids.
stop flexing with beats lol
I be listening this version from like when i was 16 i’m 20 now and still don’t know how he plays it so clean
He plays so good wtf
dude same... I've been trying to learn this shit for 4 years. I know all the notes but he makes it sound so well
@@CertifiedSlacker dude for real i can play but why i don’t sound like hin smh
@@CertifiedSlacker I had the same issue aswell for a small bit but I think what it really comes down to is just feel when playing if u get me
It’s just time and practice. You can totally learn to play this song nice and cleanly!
1) Don’t be hard on yourself.
2) Slow it down and really hear what he’s doing. Start slow.
3) learn each section by itself.
4) learn the transitions between sections by themselves.
5) when you’re learning the chords he’s playing, learn how to play them cleanly from the start. Pay close attention to what strings sound bad when you strum the chords, and mute the bad sounding strings. A lot of making most songs sound good is muting dissonant sounds, and learning how to use your fingers to mute is nearly as important as learning where to fret.
6) start slow with learning the string skipping parts. I think it helps to just practice that skill by itself with some of the chords of the song in a loop.
7)listen carefully to the strumming patterns and copy them.
Good luck!
I really like this guy. His songs, musics, and sense of humor have all struck a chord with me. I find him a refreshing contributor to the musical industry and world. Good stuff.
matt gabe if you ever have the opprtunity. Go see him live. One of the best performers I've seen in my life.
God bless!
matt gabe i
I know Im six years late. But yeah he stayed the way you described. Hes in it for the sake of doing art and hes just content that he can make a living doing it.
@@cloudspiegel925 2 years late and now hes stopped siniging
a rare video of Mac Demarco not looking insanely greasy
Lily H.B. I got the chance to meet him at his Durham concert, he wasn't as greasy as I thought he'd be. Super nice guy too.
He just got out of his bi-annual shower
Rosalia Valle qué weá? AKSKJDJDJJD
Never in my life have I ever found the words "okie dokie" so attractive.
DeMarco rocking double denim like it ain't no thang
+Antoine Fantoine the epitome of canadian steeez
Antoine Fantoine
Antoine Fantoine it really isnt a big deal tbh if u wanna rock double denim go ahead
wait whats the problem with double denim
I like ur cal chuchesta pic bro
For some reason it's easy to overlook this mate's guitar abilities, but this is quite impressive. He's holding a bass rhythm while also playing melody notes on higher strings. And it's also a very stylish song with whimsical lyrics. A true original!
WAS a true original
@user-ue6qg9ek3l what's that supposed to mean?
@@caballo3739 he's sucked for a long time now, and he's just rehashing the same guitar effects/sounds in increasingly boring iterations.
@user-ue6qg9ek3l in your opinion, when would you say he went downhill? My favorite work from him was his first album and demo album. I liked salad days but there were so many songs on "2" that were legendary. Dreamin and Dreamin Slow are goated.
@@caballo3739 I liked some tracks from "another one", really starting during and after that project he's been too boring for me.
If there's anyone I have a man crush on, it is Mac demarco, that weird and awesome bastard.
I have a man-i would marry this person on him
whos watching this with a capo on your 2nd fret of your guitar looking like an idiot.
me
mind blown. there are no unique experiences anymore.
+folr2008 wat do u mean by that
phyidlecices niggga The web allows you to find people sharing the exact random experiences you are having!
SNAPPED. I was actually scrolling thru the comments to see if anyone else noticed. He must be tuned down a whole tone.
he looks so young here
Don't smoke kids
VICEROY!
Early in the morning
David Cantídio just trynna let the sun in
And open up my eyes
This video really gives a great showcase of how brilliant his writing ability is for guitar. That's just some damn cool and unique playing.
Someday I'll find her

Maybe she's best in dreams
She's still the best I've seen

Baby remember

Maybe it's running still

i feel like everyone should know who he is.
but i don't want everyone to know, i think his level of fame is perfect right now. he's one of the best.
simple guitar riffs yet so unique...his voice has an old-fashioned sound to it. he effortlessly sings out pure beauty. can't say enough about this man...keep on rockin, mac.
Sarah Berns pp
Everyone has known for many many years I think
I used to feel the same way. I found out about Mac from someone I was in ldr with. That was 11 years ago :( time is fleeting by so fast..
i really wonder how he comes up with his guitar parts
IHACOS same they’re so simple yet so complex
IHACOS where does he get his ideas bro
bip bong explain to the people who mac demarco is
just years and years of listening to music
Ethan Johnson explain it to the folks at home
i like this better than the original
thanks for your opinion
2013 was such a nice chill year for me, my last year as a middle schooler, last time being 14, and many good memories of being a kid.
I was a junior in high school...I fucking hated high school
how does one write this shit..he's too damn good
C# G# C# F G# C# is the correct tuning; PROVIDED you put a capo on the 2nd fret.
But by putting a capo on the second fret, like Mac has done in this video, you have shifted the tuning to D# A# D# G A# D#.
Which is miraculously half a step up from Open D tuning (DADF#AD).
So yes, you can tune to open D; PROVIDED you put a capo on FIRST fret and play everything the same relative to capo position.
It is in open D, but he uses the A4 = 432Hz tuning.
just asking, will it work at normal tuning?
@@noisetokill no
I love this video. I always come back to it. Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since it came out
He's the most original song writer of this generation!
Whenever I’ve had a shit day, fallen out with someone or just feeling down, I listen to this song and it puts the biggest smile on my face. I don’t know why but mac’s music just makes me forget everything bad in the world and makes me feel alive again. That’s why I love his songs. That’s why I love Mac demarco.
so real
me bro
5 years later, this STILL blows my mind.
This is my favorite version of this song
top 5 mac demarco tbh
Yeah this song makes me want to keep on living life. What a talent Mac DeMarco is.
As I'm watching this I just realize that some people are really born to make music.
The licks in this song are insane. Holy shit man. It's kinda surprising to see how good he is at playing the guitar.
This is truly my favorite video on Earth. Mac's guitar playing is perfect in this one and i feel like he really aced his vocals.
Someday I'll find her
And I'm still reminded
Maybe she's best in dreams
She's still the best I've seen

This song got me to start playing guitar
4 years later and I still listen to this song at least once a day.
Mac DeMarco and Julian Casablancas are the only ones allowed to voice crack during a song
this version is so good
Absolutely top notch guitar playing! I knew he was good but not this good
you're the reason im still here, thank you for your help. you'll never know how much you mean to us.
Oky Doky que grande
this sounds way better than the original song.... just saying
+demetri maker word.
Listening to him for 5 years, I was at his first Istanbul concert yesterday and it was fucking amazing. Still back to this video, love u man!
0:20 when that verse kicks in, damn he's sound is out of this world !!
He's really a damn very good guitar player
I just dont understand why his music is so special? I am hooked to his music!!!
He's brilliant and bloody handsome
Mac is literally the one artist that can make the best music while faded af
he dont even smoke weed bitch
beautiful melody, beautiful playing, and beautiful lyrics. I absolutely adore Mac Demarco for his one of a kind sound and personality. One day really hoping to see him in concert!
i fall in love with him everytime i see this
Isn't Mac only like 23 or something? So crazy, because he seems so mature to me. Anyways, really enjoy him!
I prefer this rendition to the recording
Finally learnt how to sing and play this I'm gonna die happy now
How in the hell did you do that
quel tombeur! ;)
god i wish i could play this. such a beautiful song
I am deeply in love with him😐im just in love now
if i can find a man that can sing, play a mad guitar, and have the cutest gap i've ever seen..
But he loves Kiki!
I want him to love ME! ;(
same lmao
Lauren Martinez same I LITERALLY cry bc I love him so much 😂😂
today exactly two years ago i was obsessed with this video whilst waiting on my crush to ask me out. we’ve been together ever since haha aw im :)
This guitar playing epicness is what inclined me to learn to play singularly. Just so 👌
If anyone's looking for the actual tuning to this video. It's C# G# C# F G# C# . Not Open D. Idk why people think it sounds right in Open D cause it's not even close. MartErpco was the only one in the comments who got this right, not sure why he hasn't got any likes on his comment but the false open d tuning comments did.
Excuse me mister, but it is in open D, just that his A4 = 432Hz, and we are used to A4 = 440 Hz. It is believed that the 432Hz tuning sounds a lot richer.
lillarsher34 thx
Open D with a capo on 2. c'mon bud
Open D works perfectly fine too
All you punks are wrong it's actually open e with capo, without it is DADGAD, this version is on 432hz so it's basically open e on 432hz
I broke my string while trying to tune my guitar for this song thanks mac :')
Same thing. It was like 2 am. I’m baked like a cake. Off and on guitar my whole life, basically novice. It felt like the matrix and I live in tiny town in middle of nowhere! But hey, it forced me to learn how to restring guitar. Still can’t play this song haha
@@Alknight7 lol thats literally my life too
I can't stop seeing this version, Mac acoustic style is just perfect, what a vibe
maan thats got to be my favorite version of this song
this is cool, but i like that trick he does with the drum stick up his butt even better
VanIsleBC what the heck
Savannah true story
Jake Welch when did this happen
freaking out the neighborhood
I just think the fashion is so cool
Best version of this song
Seule et unique vidéo intéressante de la chaîne Konbini
I was an absolute fool trying to learn this in standard
+Mochi TV haha, yes
fuck yeah it took me like 20 minutes before i realised it wasn't me just being terrible at the guitar, I was being stupid as well as being terrible
+TheMrWillje what's it in?
Kenny Keller open d DADF#Ad
Marchello Fillari see demarco and lent's cover of "I was a fool to care"
thumbs up if your still watching this in 2003
ayyyye
haha what?
Im so in love with this man
Vaya claridad y dominio de cada nota que marca, qué buen músico
I don't care who or what anyone says bout Mac!!! The kid can hold is own!!! Great musician sure he's a bit wacky but he holds the roots and foundations in his songwriting and playing!!! True musicianship👍👌✊👉💪👏✌️ - Godbless
i could watch this over and over again, it will never get old
love the strings :P
very nice!
But I miss the bass line of the album version. The bass line is soo good.
Fucking cocain precision of guitar playing
This is so smooth and gorgeous
Aww, when he said "oki doki"! That was so cuuuute.
Ode to Malboro
lol
Any chance anybody knows which brand of strings he uses? Such a slick sound.
***** Honestly it probably has 80% to do with his technique than his guitar strings
***** Look like medium guages. Also I'd say the ebony fingerboard might have something to do with it. The rest is just technique!
Thanks guys! Appreciate you both for messaging me back c:
***** elixer strings sound similar.
McGby128 I will have a look at them, thank you :)
the power of the capo, ladies and gentleman
after all these years I still come back to this.
Supreme bag at 0:38
+Bernie nyc skating yo
Tyler I'm your father
My smile is a rifle chord
Heyyyy brother fruscianterrrr
+ToupTheMister
My Smile is a Rifle is my favorite song off of Niandra LaDes, and you're all the way right about that chord
Yeahhh
What is the chord
Ohhhkeee dokie. This. The riff, the guitar, the vocals . Simply lovely.
I stg I watch this everyday and it never gets old
Why do all of my favorite musicians have a thing for dirty vans?
Maame You're a hipster?
Tuning is EBEG#BE for any guitarists who want to know
+Ian Anderson it most definitely is not in that tuning
***** that's fair
+Ian Anderson it's C#G#C#FG#C#
D A D F# A D actually
he's so magnificently talented and adorable, preserve him
No words can describe how much I love this song
here do I get me a man like Mac????x)
The cigarette box is Malboro? Please someone answer me where are the Viceroy!!!!
+Costa B Makes sense. Maccy D wrote "Ode to Viceroy" as a joke. Viceroys are the cheapest, nastiest cigarettes you can buy back in his native Canada.
In Argentina too haha
+Edward Cullen Lol bro viceroys are almost as much as bellies. Next are even cheaper than that.
But don't be misinformed, it was for a joke but he loves Viceroys. They're a Canadian brand so when he's in the US (or other places that Viceroys can't be found) he gets the Marlboros.
One of my favorite videos of Mac, just keeps me grounded
Him and king krule are leading the way, this is a movement people. All aboard.
That guitar's sound is fucking killer but I can't read the headstock. Halp?
art & lutherie
I am so ashamed i am so late
MojoCat96 :D Its never too late to get on Mac's music man
MojoCat96 :D lmao I hear that man. I've been a mac fan for a while but it's cool to stumble onto an old video like this
Oh, wow. I'm in love.
He's absolutely perfect
Viceroy or Marlboro on the table??
*****
This is Quebec.
VictorDB97 He's at La Maroquinerie wich is in France
Ok but can I have one of him? preferably 16 and completely devoted to me. thanks!
yeah, totally, I was amazed at his strumming and all these embellishments and how effortlesly he does this.
Mac Demarco is a beast on the guitar
He looks like my younger autistic cousin. .. guess I'll keep it
In the family
Yeahhhhhhhhhh $!!!!
