This is brilliant!!! Genious even! And dont worry about talking with yourself. There is nothing wrong with that... If I didnt like you already, I outright endore you now... What a level head on your shoulders... Keep up the good work! You put alot of smiles on peoples faces! And there is nothing in the world that can beat that! No playing at Wembley, no making 40 hit records, no getting famous. Take all the time off you need. You have a family now. Your 56 year old you, would tell you to focus on that. Ofc, you need to be making a living, and keep up appearences, but make sure you are there for your family, and I PROMISE we will be here, whenever you get back... *bows*
How about a behind the scene for those of us who arnt twits on Twitter?

What we are seeing here Ladies and Gentlemen is undeniably proof that time travel exist
No, actually it shows that you can have interview completely disregarding space-time, not really time travel. Geez.
@@theothertonydutch god it’s a joke man chill the hell out.
@@felixguitar1108 That's my line.
Im pretty sure razors are made up, ive never seen one, therefore time travel.
@@felixguitar1108 His comment was also a joke.
i’m so high i spent the entire video trying to figure out wtf was going on
i’m still really confused
This is the best comment ive ever read
I'm sober and still confused as fuck

Dudee, so good!
Heartwarming to see that content creators engage with each other like this, keep up the good work Paul!
Hello
Sooo amazing!
@@joelsk7149 omg is there a UA-cam guitarist universe???
Slap da bass! Oh wait, wrong Davie 😋🤣 Ga zo door jonguh!
I mean if it makes you feel any better, I've gotten Samurai Guitarist before
pog
Didnt expect you to comment lmao
Play opeth on your story
Bwahaha absolutely epic!! I am guilty for confusing you two back in the day....lol
It really does.
I'm upset you didn't tell him about King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
lol best band ever
YES love them I wish they got more Sammy g coverage
Best band of all time
YES THE GIZZVERSE EXPANDS HAHAHA
Explaining microtonality to that dingus would've been a chore.
“Are you in a famous band now?” Me: SHOP DOOOGGGSSS!!!!
😂😂😂😂
Imagine if he had covid-19 and passed it on to his younger self and all of a sudden the virus appears in our history books
Wtf that’s scary
*cursed comment*
You might think that would be a bad thing, but based on how pandemics tend to work, we'd basically be rid of that particular worry by now. Not that there aren't others. Even more important ones, concerning the future of many life forms on the planet, including 'us'. But whatever.
@@meadish Well if your parents or grandpas/grandmas were affected by the covid and died then you wouldn’t be alive to know that anyway. I’d say it’s a win situation for me if that’s the case. This life sucks
Shit.
Unbelievably good.
Agreed!!!!
This seems way to legit!

16 year old Sammy G looks like a math rock guitarist from Japan...
So literally just a guitarist from Japan...
I'm amazed what a beard can do.
It can age you massively it seems
while for alot it looks cool, mine looks like I sell illegal stuff at midnight
That's oddly specific while I'm here just thinking he looks like an Asian Ted Mosby
Who plays 16 year old Sammy?
@@nehemiahzo_ 16 year old Sammy
For a minute I was so freaking psyched out. I legit thought he recorded the left half when he was 16 and made clips of his facial expressions and had actual genuine questions for his future self.
Wow... I was wondering why this old video had super good lighting and resolution lmao
Hahaha I thought the same, but yeah, excelente resolution for a 17 year old video.
How did he do it
@@jaseblanchard5929 i'm pretty sure that he just shaved
@@krizalist. He definitely didn’t because he still had a beard after this video
I knew Samurais were good at a lot of things but this one has some special powers. Some kind of Shadow clone Jutsu?
Time travel.
@blake bishop u mad
@blake bishop no but I know someone if you're interested

Haha
This is a pretty amazing video dude!
Hey adam

@@jorgek92 duplication legitimizes
Hey Adam
Te amo Adam
The shift from shy and quiet to outspoken and confident is just so on point and definitive here. Truly awesome!
This happens alot with these types of videos
This man is simultaneously both the Bob Ross and the MoistCr1tikal of guitarists
Love this
this might be the most accurate description of anyone ive ever seen
Dude this is so accurate
But MoistCr1tikal is a guitarist
No Marty music is the bob Ross of the guitar
How does him shaving, putting a hat on, and making his voice crack make him look SOOOOOOO 16?
Because that is 16
R u egg
Believe there's some CGI going on
No facial hair ✅
High voice ✅
Covered the hairline ✅
I legit thought that was a recording of him at age 16...
Cant believe Justin Whang is a time traveller. Crazy...
honestly not too surprising to me justin whang is the purest form of the phrase "agent of chaos"
No this isnt edited, sammy g actually travelled in time to talk to his 16 year old self
Why would you think this is edited
Haters will say its fake
Nice to see someone in the comments that knows what's up.
The advice of spending more time with the grandparents REALLY got me in the feels...
Same
It hit way too close... Tearing up as we speak
I miss my grandma...I need to talk to my grams and gramps on my mom's side again soon...🧡🙂
I never met most of my grandparents, my one grandma is dying. I can’t spend time with her because of some shit that happened in the family. I’m sorry in so many ways.
That’s the most verified accounts in a row I’ve ever seen
Same here! (Shocked Pikachu face)
"Don't take romantic advice from the Led Zeppelin biography you're reading"
Nobody has ever given better advice than this.
Yes.
Agreed bro...
Read that as it happened in the vid
what biography is he talking about
Did anyone else notice how 16 year old Sammy was playing the boxy shape where as the current Sammy was more melodic, great attention to detail!
And he kept looking at his guitar.
@@Stardust.Wonder bravo!
Yeah, that was really funny.
Another thing I noticed is when it came time for "young" sammy to do the rhythm part he wasn't palm muting At. All. Lol and they were all down strokes. There are actualy tons of great attn to detail like things in this
Exactly How I played guitar when I was 13-16 as well!
This is absolutely amazing!
I was not expecting to see y’all here
hey checkmark
This is what it's all about right here
Love ya ben!
This comment just lurking here waiting to teach me how to hear mixolydian
I actually thought he was really 16 and it was prerecorded, until they asked about Jenny. That was kind of a give away. When I think about it, it was kinda obvious that back then, he wouldnt have such a great camera.
I thought I was the only one hahahah glad to see more ppl thought it was actually him at 16
Wait... so is he taking a break from UA-cam just to grow his beard back?
@@JesseNorellMusic Havent thought about that. But you are right. Itll be hard to getting used to him without one
Ohhh so thats what happened. Yeah that Jenny part had me like :0
Bruh it was obvious from the beginning 😂 There’s no way that conversation could’ve been pre recorded
Man, that 16 year old looks suspiciously like a 32 year old man without a beard, its insane how little you changed since you were a kid.
oh my god i just realized its fake and im a retard

I’m a healthy 37 year old that just had a freak heart attack Jan 2nd. No drugs or substance abuse. I watched this video in my hospital bed at 5 am because it’s hard to sleep with all the medical things I’m hooked up to. I’m ok now. This video was so great. Thanks brother. This video gave me some great emotions. Amazing idea that I feel a lot of people will want to copy but this was so well done. Very wholesome and believable. I hope you get the recognition that you deserve after this. Peace
@@BigMacSoss thanks for the words. I am actually very healthy, no stress ever, and I’m active as can be but I appreciate the advice anyways. No good reason why the heart attack happened but it happened.
@@josethemendez Dang dude, I hope nothing like that happens again, glad you're doing good now, stay strong broski, keep going King
Must be genetic or maybe something congenital that flew under the radar. I'm sure you've already been told this but pleaasee keep an eye on it and have yourself checked out as much as you can. If you don't already, a baby aspirin every day can also help prevent heart disease from what I hear. For what it's worth from some rando on the internet, I'm glad you're alright. Must've been scary but obviously heart disease is no match for you. Stay strong and live your best life :)
I know its been 3 months but, i hope you're better now buddy
@@pekee9304 thank you 🙏🏼. I’m doing better. Healing and taking care of myself. I appreciate it.
It’s amazing how some of us can lose 20 years with a razor.
Played Em Pentatonic like a 16 year old perfectly! I'm dying
We need a behind the scenes.
EDIT: Holy shit, 480+ likes, thank you!
I really enjoyed this video, it was heartwarming and provided some much-needed food for thought.
Yes! Definitely!
Yessssss
Shave and an outfit change, that's about it.
@@Zleek the voices were different enough that I wonder if he used any software to change his voice
@@Zleek Now that I'm watching from a bigger screen, I can see that. He really has awesome acting chops, he pulled off the awkward 16-year-old act REALLY convincingly.
Plus the voice change. I'm pretty sure he digitally altered his voice, but it sounded really legit.
“Don’t take romantic advice from the Led Zeppelin biography”
Best. Advice. EVER!
i love how sixteen year old samuriguitarist has a squier, 33 year old uses fender
young sammy g sounds like he constantly needs to clear his throat
because his voice has been digitally pitch shifted!
he smoke pot
He was probably going thru Puberty.
Nichijouuuuuuuu
@@juannauj9631 many pots
“You’re about to go through the hardest time of your life”
Young Sammy G: Come again, homie?
*"say sike right now"*
The part where you jammed together with your younger self was really emotional. I imagined myself doing it and it shows how the love for guitar doesn't fade away with time, but instead it's something that really is a part of you and defines yourself forever.
If I did this it would be 15 minutes of me hitting my younger self screaming “don’t just practice the easy stuff, practice the hard stuff”
If you're 16 and watching this video, this is incredibly sage advice.
I'm 17
@@Papabandana me too
@@mickmay630 Same lol
17 this year
Same, Wow small world.
This video is kinda genius.
They're sitting in the same chair.
The dialogue feels natural (well, as natural as dialogue fed from a 16 year old can be), and that why so many comments say "he actually time travelled". The one at 4:16 is ABSURD.
They both play a Fender strat, but it looks like 16 Y.O Sammy is playing a squire.
I love that his younger voice is just *slightly* higher, chalkier & less stable-pitched, while his older self has a clearer pitch, is louder & more confident.
Yeah, I thought that was brilliant👍
right
The attention to detail in the video is artistic
And the playing hahaha
I still can't wrap my head around how he predicted the part about the girl who's his wife now... 🤔
If you’re still on UA-cam in 17 years do this again with 33 y/o you in place of 16 y/o you.
its really fascinating how you have paid attention to details, for eg during jam ur past self is only sticking to pentatonic while you r rocking the entire fret GG
Last time I was this quick he was actually 16
last time i was 16 he was this early
Wait a minute...
Hol up
I just can't believe how good this looks. How did you manage to have such a perfect continuity in shots and lighting, interaction and dialogue ??
My hat's off to you sir
I'm definitely mostly blown away by the quality of the video. He must've shot the original on film or something because...my digital camera back then was TRASH!
@@neurosin hope ur joking man
@@neurosin pretty sure he just had a shave..
@@robinharvey1830 ^ This! Lol
I was considering wether this is a deepfake, but his voice is also pretty different. I have no idea
my mans literally out here bending the rules of space time to produce the A5 content we need but dont deserve! Bless up samurai!
Yooo. That last jam segment struck a god damn chord oh my lord
yeah they struck a lot of chords
3 moments of underrated genius:
1: Young Sammy: The girl that put my mic on was named Jenny. Is that her??
Old Sammy: It is.
Young Sammy: Niiiiiiiice.
2: Young Sammy: How come you don't smile when you tell jokes?
Old Sammy: How come you don't smile when I make them?
Young Sammy: Okay.
3: Young Sammy's solo on the blues jam. I laughed so hard I had tears. But only because it struck too close to home.
Absolutely brilliant stuff.
EDIT: and I just noticed the look Young Sammy gives her at the 17 second mark. Priceless.
I actually didn't realize he didn't smile 😂
Kazaa.
Dare I say.....napster?
also, omgwtf rj ronquillo
I lived on Kazaa...
limewire, even
Morpheus
I really liked how you could hear the difference in playing ability at the end, that was a nice touch.
This is a remarkable, "love yourself," moment. And it's not consciously that...I guess what I;m trying to say is that I think that your friendliness and kindness toward your younger self is beautiful. This is my favorite execution of this idea that I've ever seen--thanks for sharing.
"I found myself talking to myself" he says to himself
This is actually amazing 🤘🏼
But not amazing as you are❤🇳🇵
@@arzoongurung3871 lmfao
Fantastically done! You're very believable on both sides of the conversation and it was a real treat to watch. Really, really liked this.
When you started playing and your 16 year old self stopped playing to watch you explore the neck near the end and just smiled I started to develop some tears, this is absolutely beautiful and truly inspiring
I wish I could do that, but I'm sure I'd just be roasting myself "hah you're a nobody, hah how's that guitar career coming?"
That’s exactly what I would do
It's amazing how expressive a man can be while also staying completely emotionless

There's something beautiful about this video that stirs a lot of emotions I have a hard time putting a name to. I'm pretty sure nearly everyone would love to have 15 minutes to talk to their past self, but you managed to do it in a way that blended humor, humility and human emotion in a beautiful way.
from the shirt choice to the face expressions, questions (and chops) this is so insightful and beautiful!
This is weirdest and sweetest thing I seen on UA-cam.
Agreed
"You go a little stir crazy, i feel like I'm talking to myself."
Me: I'M NOT ALONE
I just realized he is talking to himself fucking brilliant
It's not bad to outsource some thoughts and let your ears hear the thoughts in a new perspective 😉
I do it too!
This was really touching and got me teary eyed. Absolutely beautiful and well put together.
This video should be shown in every high school. Amazing content. Some of the questions/answers are obvious to an adult, but teens think differently.
Its so convincing without his beard
The fact that the video quality and lighting are so similar and that he even kept the same chair is truly impressive. I wonder how long he's wanted to film the second part and post it!
@Kelvin M It's just like aliens, man: I want to believe
@Kelvin M r/wooooosh
This is easily the best one of these I've seen, great editing and just overall video, good job my dude
I needed this video, it really brought out my application for everything that's come my way, and how music has been there every step of the way. You're truly an inspiration 🙏
I love how his 16 self only plays in one pentatonic shape, it's genius 😂
I have to rewatch that when I know more theory, so it's gonna be more hilarious.:D
genius, or for real 😕
I know it was for me, until I started going to a guitar tutor.
Watched the fretboard, played in A minor pentatonic, and picked in all down strokes. 😑
"I found myself talking to myself on multiple occasions" I was expecting 16 yo you to fade out of existence lol
You nail that awkward teenager thing down perfect. My inner 16 year old is awkwardly chuckling and saying, "That's cool." in agreement.
I thought this was going to be silly but it's actually really touching
As a 16 yr old musician, this gives me hope for my future.
As a random stranger. Just keep playing while being humble with an open mind, and you will go far.
This is the strangest episode of "between 2 ferns" ever
There's only 1 fern
No Zach Galifianakis
And there are 2 guit-I clicked on the wrong video, didn't i
Between two samuraiguitarists
Other youtubers: I have anxiety and depressions.
Samuraiguitarist: I really am happy
I couldn’t stop smiling while watching this, and the jamming session brought a tear to my eye. It’s quite inspiring to imagine what I’d say to my younger self or what my older self would say to me, but, either way, thank you for this video. It was an amazing idea and a joy to experience.
Love your videos, Sammy G, and love your channel. But this... this is next level, writing, acting, emotions, everything. You always have fantastic music content, but your creativity and wit is what really shines through time and again. Well done!!! ❤️
"and what's her name?"
"... it's Jenny"
Such a wholesome and amazing video man. Really great to put things in perspective, and definitely some wise words being brought up. Keep the amazing content up!!! So wholesome!!!
Nicely done and a welcome moment of levity that we can all appreciate. Thanks for sharing!
This somehow ended up being a therapy session for myself. BRB SOBBING
The duration of his absence is the length it will take to grow back the beard
This probably the most accurate Talking with my Old self videos, it's like it's a real conversation. And the fact it was planned well ahead of its time, definitely one of my favourites.
I want to do this when I’m in my 30s. I’m 17. This video really touched me and gives me hope. Love your vids!
This makes me weirdly emotional. Thinking about my future self and what i wish i could tell my past self. The "that worked out surprisingly well" regarding playing guitar for a living was really sweet. I'm proud of your accomplishments dude, keep rocking!
Well said, Zakk. Me too.
Wow! What an awesome Video! 👏👏
Your looping audio in Paul's video has still left my jaws wide open ❤️
i am new to the channel. Was this him just shaved, or did he pre record....i feel dumb asking lol but i really cant wrap my head around what went on!
That "sounds good man" at the end of the jam session was one of my favorite things to hear early on in my playing and one of my favorite things to tell guitarists that aren't very confident yet.
In complete and utter seriousness, this is simply the best video I have seen on You Tube or any other platform. It is not about music, it transcends that. It is life. Don’t know how you did that but, despite being 62 years old, I am crying like a baby. Thank you Sammy. You are a genius.
This was a beautiful and profound idea that was well executed. Very heartwarming, SammyG.
This is so wholesome. And that opening line about enjoying time with your friends got me bawling.
Damn, dude! This is awesome! It almost brought me to tears. I don’t know, but it really felt pure and genuine. Now i wonder what i would say if i get a chance to talk to my younger self.. i really enjoyed this. Hope you get the well deserved break. Looking forward to your next video when you get back! Cheers!
So beautiful. What a work of art. Made me cry, in the good way. Wow.
People who think it's edited are just haters.
Except it is actually edited. It's kinda mad how young he looks without a beard
@@phoneguy3409 it a joke boomer
Woah, without a beard Sammy G looks like Sean Lennon
I found this genuinely touching thank you so much for going through with this idea
Dude I absolutely love this video so much! It's funny, heartwarming and entertaining all at the same time
This is such a cool concept. Makes me think a lot about what i'd tell myself 10 years ago. Beautiful content Sammy, makes me emotional.
Me too. Not to proud to say that I got a bit weepy when I thought about my life at 16, almost 50 years ago.
@@jimz68 Cheers to a long, happy life, James!
@@canofpaint2336 Thank You, Sir. You too.
Yeah, it actually makes me want to talk to my 12 year-old self. It really hits home.
Cheers to you both!
I can't tell if this is real or not I'm way too high
It be like that tho
You are honestly my favorite content creator on this website. You blend wholesome and comedy so perfectly and on top of all of that you are an incredibly talented musician. Keep up the great work Sammy G.
There are so many nice details in this video, the acting and the editing. Awesome!
He knew his wife would be her since 16 yo... That's very lovely 💙
I know it’s fake but to see his young self smile at his old self makes me feel happy for som f*cking reason Idk 🤷♂️
Because everybody should smile at themselves. Try a mirror, and keep on doing it. X
