If I had a lighter, it would be lit and moving repeatedly from left to right as my mouth was shouting "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" as loud as it could.

Being at work, however, I'll curb my enthusiasm to a simple upvote and this cheerful comment

This is great! I want to go to a cafe and see this guy in the corner plinking away.

Too bad about the crummy VHS quality. Good work, though.

Here's the guy who arranged it:

Edgar Cruz. Monster guitarist.

^ definite props to Edgar Cruz -- I almost sifted his original, but I like this performance better. It may just sound nicer on nylon strings.

While this is pretty darn awesome, and definitely worth an upvote, does anyone feel that there are many portions where he stops for a brief beat between bits, lacking flow? Kinda irritating and makes it feel not quite as great as it could be.

Still very good though.

I'm at work, I have a lighter and I am shouting "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO."

The key to getting away with wild office behavior is the same method used in high school to go from being an A student, getting yelled at by dad for getting an A-, to a C student, getting a "Well at least he passed" when you get a D: First, make people believe you are a crazy, yet still an effective worker -- this may take some time, maybe even up to a year, to achieve. Then slowly increase the loudness of your outbursts. If your coworkers give you annoyed looks, you've jumped the gun -- slow it down, work on erratic behavior, and always, ALWAYS have the ability to change your expression from insane grinning trouble maker to competent, psychologically sound cubicle occupant.

If you do it correctly, one day you'll be shouting at the top of your lungs and no one will care. Just another normal day at the office.

spoco2: Yes, there's definitely a few spots where he pauses briefly or speeds up/slows down that seem awkward. Also, his strings are slightly out of tune. Not enough to be really bad, but enough to grate just a little...

Though, having said that, I really enjoyed his performance. He's so close to being a great guitarist!

Fantastic - an amazingly great performance, though shouldn't be compared to Jake.

Jake had a transcendent moment in central park that we got to share - it was something special that probably has never been captured again.

Dude, you're putting too much effort into this. I'm sure Mrs. Johnson wouldn't give a shit about much of anything you did, really, as long as you made sure to get the leaves out of the deep end.

Agreed -- that was a tongue-in-cheek goad, just to remind the Jake vid that it's still human.

I think there is something special about this video too. It's certainly not a technically perfect performance, but there is something about its casualness that feels very intimate.

its all worth for the end, with his "pwshhh!"

Wish I could play that well.

Wonderful stuff!

You'd think someone of his technical abilities would know how to tune a guitar by now....
It ruins the whole experience, like something just a bit rotten in an otherwise delicious meal.

Yes I read the report from the porta potty pumpers

I agree with you that there is something special about this - it's what YouTube videos do best - make you feel like you're sitting in the living room of this guy's house experiencing it. I hate super-polished studio music.

Huh? They're BOTH on nylon strings.
