Guitarist/Songwriter/Samurai
Born in the Manitoba prefecture of Canada, samuraiguitarist, Steve-san Onotera, honed his discipline under the study of the country's most powerful musical sensei.
Bred on rock, raised on the blues, trained in jazz, samuraiguitarist creates incredibly innovative videos that showcase his talents on the guitar.
I wonder if that guy on the Yousician ad is a pro by now
I don't think so. I think the beginning was too frustrating for him.
Rob_gamer34 he actually has a fast onset of Alzheimer's and forgets all his progress daily, he's stuck in a nearly endless loop, it's honestly really sad.
Rob_gamer34 probably! Cuz ya know. The beginning is soooo hard. He's headlining at all the high school keg party's. Wooing all the tennie boppers.
This is the best comment on the internet!
I'm so relieved that other people also get annoyed by having yousician shoved down their throat just because they spend all day watching guitar videos on the internet hahaha
Travis Sunderland I do watch a LOT!! Of guitar videos. Cuz I can’t go outside. Because it’s -20 with the wind. Dammit! I wanna move to Florida
I wanna be an air guitar Roadie. Moving invisible cabinets and cable, tuning and swapping out between songs.,
Have you tried being a mime?
T virus ok now that is hilarious
Ok but like it would be funny to air guitar while a real guitarist plays
Hey Samurai, you should totally check out the punk band "Captured by Robots." For years now this awesome guy has been touring and writing music using robots to play guitar, bass, and drums (and I think horns?) and his whole gimmick is that the robots are aliens who came to earth, captured him, and forced him to sing for their band. They even have little skits between songs. It's kind of amazing.
Daniel Sharps I had the pleasure of seeing captured by robots many years ago. Amazing show!
Air guitarists blew it with the slogan. Should be “When you’re holding an axe, you can’t hold a gun”.
Chris Wolstenholm of Muse used the Misa Kitara as a bass in "Madness". He has a double neck one with the Kitara and a four string for playing that song live. Pretty cool.
To me misa kitara sounds like a misheared version of "missä kitara" which means "where's the guitar" in finnish
Matt Bellamy, also of Muse ofcourse, has a Kaoss-pad in some of his guitars. It's not entirely the same, but looks a lot like it. It is an awesome pice of his guitars
@@kjdjdhgdhsj8859 Its from Manson, you can buy one of those guitars.
you forgot the capo
John Nash you mean a kapoo?
The capo isn't bizarre, though...
Dont you mean a kapooie?
yupii1997 don’t you mean a banjo kazooie?
Whats bizarre about a capo? I find it very useful in many applications.
I'd say the Korg Miku fits this list tbh
I was expecting samurai to mention this pedal too xD as a joke or an honorable mention
How about that organ/guitar hybrid vox made in the 60s?
Air guitar world championship was invented in Finland in 1996 at Oulu's music festival and it has been part of that festival ever since
No mention of Holdsworth with the synth axe?? He did some great things with it!
Petrus Nordh i had the same thought
The Maximum God Allan Holdsworth and the synth axe are the same word... How Samurai forgot about the best guitar player of all time and universe?
I used to think that the synth axe was custom made for A. Holdsworth RIP.
If only fewer than 100 were made, he probably owned most of them.
you have very nice eyebrows
He really does.
Daniel Parsons thanks I try my best
I think he is Mr. Spock. He does seem logical.
thank you
Daniel Parsons lol
Fun fact: 'Kitara' means guitar in Finnish. What a coincidence!
Jukka Pesonen and in spanish guitar is guitara and in filipino its gitara
Slovene - kitara haha
also in albanian
Gitarre in german
Just kirjotin että misa kitara kuulostaa samalta ku missä kitara 🤣
VW car amp sounds awesome thooo!!! Imagine driving out and sit on some beach while playing! Sitting on the roof or aomething! Sounds artsy as heeelll!
As long as you got a real guitar for it, because, as many people will tell you, those guitars were not made well at all.
But a T2 reissue with this feature and it becomes the hippiest thing imaginable
@@YouCanCallMeXoe I think my guitar would do just fine. I need it.
I can imagine highway to hell played on that car
*cough* *cough* Korg Miku *cough* *cough*
Talks about robot guitarist but doesnt mention compressor head
A whole ban trumps one robot.
I can't believe you didn't mention Holdsworth with the synthaxe -- Sand is one of my favourite albums! Great video nonetheless dude, some of these are weiiiird lol
Yeah that was the first thing I thought of lol
Really enjoy your content, SG. Thanks, and keep it up!
Loved the talk box section. I had no clue the original idea went back that far. Thanks for the education, Samurai!
"When you're holding a guitar, you can't be holding a gun," reminds me of an old movie, Son Of Paleface. Roy Rogers toted a guitar-rifle.
if Ted Nugent was holding an air guitar, he'd be holding a gun
Cody Spagrud he'd find a way
Anyone else expecting him to finish the sentence at 5:15 with "but then I became World Champion"?
2:42 it's like someone peered into the dark recesses of my mind when I feel depressed! :D
Love your vids. Keep up the good work!
1:00 actually seems cool. It's effectively like taping a MIDI synth pad to your electric guitar
That talk box from the 1930's - - - XD
blend guitar just made a video similar to this
Air guitar is too difficult, that's why I air DJ. Although you do get a sore neck from holding the invisible( half off) headphones with your shoulder.
The VW one reminds me of the time I used a vox amplug 2 going into the aux jack on my 97 Chevy cavalier
The talk box video was actually really creepy
The SynthAxe is my ultimate dream instrument tbh
Pat Methany's Orchestrion pops in mind as well as the guitar build for him by Liza Manzler
Dudeeeee! You are totally choking your air guitar! Hahahaha
Rickenbacker 366/12 Convertible is truly bizzare instrument, it can be converted from 12 to 6 strings in an instant. Amazing!
But as soon as u plug the guitar into ur VW, check engine light comes on
Candela Vibrophase looks like a Stirling Engine powered device, not sure about 'Solar technology' but hey, science!
The Sterling engine is powered by the heat of the candle indeed, but the candle also powers a separate electric mechanism via a small solar cell.
It would be nice to see the things yor talking about and hear them
fun fact: alvino rey is the grandfather of Win Buttler of Arcade Fire
You know man I'm always really impressed by the quality of your vids and how you make being passionate and professional look fun. I aspire that
The synthaxe demo video is one of the best things out there.
The synth axe demo was a trip
Dude huge props for the bela fleck knowledge❤️❤️
@3:00 the guitar sound like a star war character
You know thanks to vox and their headphone amplifier you can turn any car into an amp using the aux cord, truly great for gigging anywhere
Shout-out to clippard. My high school robotics team used to use their air tanks and all my shit is covered in clippard stickers cuz I think their logo looks sick as fuck and they would always have extra stickers.
i saw this bbc documentary on heavy metal from the early 80s awhile back, they had something called headbanging competitions which was like that air guitar championship, but with imitation guitars made of cardboard or ply wood, haven't seen anything like it in my lifetime but early iron maiden fans seemed really into it
2:37 thats so creepy seriously
But... does that shirt say “White Pimp?”
thats some serious craftsmanship. great video sensei always a high quality content video from our one and only great sensei🙏😊
I saw one that it was a later guitar long time ago you always do a great job thank you enjoy your videos
Roger Troutman used the first one on Maxx Axxe from the many facets of Roger LP and Roger owned the talkbox sound throughout the entire 80s..
I have a Volkswagen First Act guitar. It's surprisingly good and the built-in preamp is actually useful for an extra boost! :)
Something weird and wonderful... I guess Polyphia
OMG I forgot about those VW guitars, I want one so bad.
Omg talk old talk box is harmonizing my heart strings
Buddy of mine as used the Misa Kitara in his industrial metal band. Was useful for some unique stuff!
Let's not forget good ole' Compressorhead, a punk rock robot band with 5 robot members...
Mmm that output ads was pretty amazing ahah first ad i watched entirely in years lol
Please make a part 2
looks like that candle thing is either a stirling engine, or a flame licker.. also there was an episode of "top gear" where they had eric clapton try out one of these amps with a windshield - and you should check out Compressorhead - a robot band powered by pneumatics! (and servos too, i think)
Check out the Viditar, also known as the ocular noise machine. It was invented by a guy in a band I know called Sinch that was signed to Roadrunner at one point, they have since broken up after releasing two albums after Roadrunner dropped them.
It is a guitar shaped interface device designed to play and manipulate video in real time for play on a big screen and/or TVs during a live performance. They even included a sample of the software to play with on their first post Roadrunner release, Clearing the Channel.
Well, I've heard there's this t-shirt with sensors and other stuff that recognizes your moves when you play air guitar and it somehow makes it sound.
My friend has a Volkswagen guitar that they got from their dad who got it when he bought a Volkswagen minivan
Air guitarist are just airbenders who channeled the air in order to make harmonious melodies
Shoutout to Roy Wooten. What a talented badass!
The talk box with zapp and Rodgers
The synth ax is an amazing piece.
perfect intro wish everyone would do it like that
He said TREM-OH-LO
Max Gray thats how its supposed to be pronounced...
Kirk Wahmmett I've always heard it pronounced "Trem-uh-lo"
This comment made me mad
Have you checked out Wintergaten's channel? Martin went viral with his marble machine last year, not only is he working on a second one but he's also been going to a music museum(probably for inspiration) and sharing the old instruments. Not guitars, jazz or rock, but still pretty cool stuff.
I think Chris Wostenholme has a bass version of number 4 used on Madness.
Fun fact: to demo the amp in the VW, British motoring show top gear got ERIC CLAPTON to do a demo
I remember those VW commercials!
The Misa Kitara is how Muse made Madness and some other stuff. I think they even use it live.
4:08 me after returning from chernobyl
YO, don't forget the YAMAHA EZ-AG. Had one when I was younger. Basically like a $250 version of a synthaxe crossed with a kitara crossed with a cheap Casio keyboard that has the learning functions.
Speaking of robots playing music, ever heard of the band Captured By Robots? That's a whole different level of bizarre lol
A friend of my brother's once won the air guitar competition.
The Kitara makes a pretty famous appearance in Muse's song Madness.
That last guy is totally wrong. You absolutely could hold a gun and play air guitar. You use a handgun to “strum” and you “fret” with the other hand. Just make sure you don’t shoot yourself in the thigh.
Honestly, 6 grand for the Zivex pedal is not unreasonable. Yes it's expensive, and most people wouldn't buy it, but it's handmade. Not to mention really fucking cool.
The synth axe was pretty cool tbh.
thermal* @ 1:37 (unless there's something we don't know about that candle)
The zvex one is just a beautyfull piece of ingenierart
I still want a Kitara, or the tri-bass, cause it's pretty fucking cool
5:32
You underestimate my power
Yes, love Bela Fleck!
Compressor Head - Ace of Spades
I've been to the world championship finals twice and it makes zero sense but is a lot of fun to watch
Robotic tuners, so close to finally perfecting the guitar 🤠
It’s true! When I am holding my guitar my gun is in my holster lol
I want that candela vibrophase.
you cant have martial without the art, you wont have art without the marshal.
I have that Volkswagen guitar and it's actually really nice
Yes.
Check out the Moog Guitar, it seems pretty cool although really expensive.
That '20s voice guitar scarred me in the deepest realms of my fears. Am I alone on this one?
That synth axe was actually an amazing invention, it can do pretty much anything you'd hope for it to do... like you can virtually move the capo...and then play behind the virtual capo. Everything was thought of with that invention - except for the look. Jesus christ, it was hideous. Seems like a great studio tool, but I wouldn't want to be seen holding that thing.
muse was using the misa kitara in one of their new videos
I'd love to find one of the in car VW amps so I can hook up a guitar to my car stereo! Maybe I could get a stereo with an external input and find a device that uses 12v of less oto amplify the guitar to preamp levels and run it that way?
The guy in the air guitar image looks scarily like James Young from Styx!
