It should inspire you to work harder, if anything. The only reason you feel that way is due to passion, and perhaps a tad bit of envy(I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of some musicians out there

).

We could all be better. We could all express ourselves better. Pick up your guitar as much as you can and pour your heart out. Nobody can take the passion you have away from you.

thanks i appreciate the kind words.

This just really freaked me out! i can watch young kids shred a neck all day and it does not bother me at all but this!

I wrote the guy that did it and complimented his talent and told him he is definitely GIFTED

It is a bit freaky. Once you break it down, though, you realize the only parts you really need technical skill for are the guitar parts and the vocals. I'd say he's just as good with sound production and computers as he is with music.

It's the entire composition that's mind-blowing. It freaks me out more that Freddy wrote such a masterpiece.

He is good, but I like the version that Giulio Carmassi did...

I like the guitar sound on the video of the op.

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody - by one man band GIULIO CARMASSI - YouTube

That is bad azz...That has got to be one of the best videos I have seen in a while. That kid definitely has some passion for music.

DLChance · 07-17-2012, 11:21 AM

The guy in this video is GREAT! Great singer, great player.

But he will probably never be known for his incredible abilities outside of a relatively small circle of music people and fans. And that's a shame.

Multi-instrumentalists are a lot more common than people might think. But, from my observations as a multi-instrumental specialist, they (we) get a different kind of respect than the instrumental specialists get.

Remember, my observations are based on my own personal experience over a long career as a working multi-instrumental musician.

It's generally thought that, while MIs are good musicians, sometimes great musicians, they can't really be as good on any one instrument as the players who just play one instrument.

While we're considered good draws for working bands, we're usually the first to be cut when the band has to streamline its personnel because we're generally thought of as a luxury more than a necessity. It sucks, but that's just the way the music-for-money business is.

I don't know about the LA or New York recording scenes, but in the Nashville studios where I worked for a couple years the producers tend to call in specialists for the big-league sessions, while MIs tend to pick up more of the secondary and demo sessions because they can cover more instruments at a reduced rate per instrument (which usually means there isn't much difference in pay, but the MIs have to work harder and longer for it). Probably the greatest multi-instrumentalist of the last hundred years is Mark O'Connor. The guy can play anything, and play it as well as any specialist anywhere. But (and he told me this himself) when he went to Nashville he had to specialize in fiddle and kinda let the producers forget that he could play a vast array of other instruments just as brilliantly because, when he tried working as a MI, he just didn't get the same consideration as a world-class musician. And even as the undisputed best and most creative fiddle player in an industry crammed full of great fiddle players, he was seen strictly as sideman material for live shows because egos in the music business can be some incredibly fragile things. So he moved to New York and began composing symphonies and concertos, and he is a lot happier now.

Personally, my main musical heroes have always been people like the guy who made this video. And, as someone who never cared for the studio scene even when I was in it, I've always loved being able to play lots of different instruments. There's very little more artistically satisfying than picking up a new instrument and figuring out how to make it do what it was built for.

If I can go out on stage and sing and play ten different instruments, which is what I ordinarily do, I know the audience will appreciate it. And that's all that matters to me.

The guy who made this video will definitely understand that, as Heinlein said, specialization is for ants.
