    Sam Westphalen
    In the absence of a drummer, Sam hits his guitar a lot in an attempt to get as much music out of the instrument as possible. His UA-cam videos have reached over 500,000 views (that's over 1,000,000 eyeballs) with an overwhelmingly positive response. He can be spotted on the streets of Sydney, earning more than minimum wage by playing guitar and receiving money from generous passersby. He can also write about himself in the 3rd person when necessary.

    Without a doubt, one of the most impressing performances I've EVER seen.
    Your focus and control of percussion and melody at unusual tempos is astonishing to say the least.
    Congratulations, the hard work really payed up.
    We need more musicians like you to get exposure instead of whatever new bland tune they pump out on the mass media and repeat to exhaustion. The best of lucks

  • @drummerpablo1
    @drummerpablo1 10 років тому +1

    Truly an extraordinary rendition. That you even had the audacity to attempt such a complex song this way is worth commending, but you really blew me (and everyone) away. This must have taken you so long to put together! The only way this could've been better would've been if you did the 5:6 polyrhythm, but that much complexity is not something anyone would expect. You play through the 3:4 polyrhythm jam out really well even though it's literally impossible without more people. Very impressive!

    @thomaspeters5889 5 років тому

    Note the classical guitar position, the left wrist kept straight to allow maximum access to the fretboard. This is a new and exciting breed of soloist that includes percussion with style still in development. Listen to the original version of the song to appreciate this young mastet and his brilliant dynamics.
