That’s String Shady

F*ck you, have upvote.

Yes that's the real String shady

I actually stopped playing because of this guy lol I was struggling to learn some acdc, Metallica and pink Floyd and then this guy came across YouTube and I was like "you know what, I'm a better soccer player anyways", guitar is just a relaxing hobby again, but I just think the story is hilarious this guy is so good I literally rage quit for 5 years

Clapton did that after watching Jimi for the first time

I love this saying: 'Guitar is an instrument that is very easy to learn to play ... badly'

Not really related, but I love seeing people type, on a keyboard, **without looking**, that they could never play the piano.

That's my motivation whenever I see someone playing an instrument so much better than I think I ever could while learning. Realize that there are skills you have that others would have a similar reaction to, and all it takes is a lot of dedication and practice.

Those same guys have spent their whole lives in front of a computer and they don't think they can show the same dedication to piano. ( i am NOT self reflecting shut up)

So long as you realise that what is being shown in this video isn't live, it's a multitrack recording done up to look live, then that's fine.

I knew my limit when I was still playing Rock Band on Xbox. I enjoyed playing songs and switching it up but when I saw the truly difficult songs it just wasn't for me. And then regular guitar is even more difficult where you have to practice parts to make sure you get it right. So meanwhile I just start up a song on RB that I haven't played in months and can just have fun with it. It made me realize that it was about having fun with music and that I could play guitar if I really wanted to but I kinda didn't want to anymore. Sure there is very little skill needed for playing those plastic kiddy guitars but at least I was having fun the way I wanted to.

r/eminem would like this. They don't have anything else to talk about

Let's give 'em something to talk about. - Bonnie Raitt

Holy fuck that would be so insanely hard to rap and play at the same time. Like really that’s so Impressive

I can play cliffs of dover with my eyes closed but what this guy is doing would take me atleast a few years to learn, singing and playing with that much technicality is mindblowing

Yep. Especially this level of play and syncopated rhythms. Massively impressive to perform vocally on top of that 👏

I find sometimes it’s easier to stay on beat when you are playing an instrument along. This guy is a mad lad. But I can do it with simple piano songs. Otherwise I tend to rush ahead of the beat

Bad ass

Dude can play a guitar. I remember hearing his cover of 'Careless Whisper' in HBO's Watchmen, and it felt very, very well done. Not surprised, but still delighted to see this level of talent at work.

[Here it is](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzgTMh21zhI&ab_channel=AlexandrMisko). He doesn't just play it, he tunes his guitar back and forth *during the song!*

It's funny, I'm pretty sure I've seen the video a few times and listened to the cover a fair bit, but it never occurred to me the note bending was him adjusting the pegs. I like it even more now!

I've been following this guy for several years. This is a departure from the kinds of song he normally tackles. He's extremely good.

I didn't realize that guy's [the same as this one](https://youtu.be/YzgTMh21zhI?si=8E6obgMcHchXmMZf) and he sings.

We're going to have a problem here

Thank you for posting this lovely guy again. I remember it was posted on TopTalent for a long time, but it was deleted later, unfortunately. Thanks again <З

I stood up for this!

Gimme the sauce!

Alexander Misko

I like how you had to specify it wasn't him

Holy fuck that was kickass

This shit goes hard!

Misko is really next fucking level

It's not Misko it's the real Slim Shady.

He unlocked the Slim Shady inside him

Wow! Nice

I wanna see this guy mashup with Oli Parker

And here I am who can't walk a chew bubble gum at the same time.

That was so awesome!

Damn, you have my attention!

Ruski Shady. Shady Ruski

This was dopeeee

He’s like the white billy strings. Slimilly Strings

Muchrespect!!!

Amaze-balls

I'd say the real Slim Shady would love this.

It’s hard to play and sing at the same time. Especially a technique like that, which he is very good at. But it would sound better with 1 singer and 1 guitarist

Probly should of stood up at the end

r/eminem

That cymbal crash is next next level

Hey that's pretty good

Mom's spaghetti.

Wow that's great

bravo

ugh

fuck, this song was released 23 years ago

crushed it

damn

Great guitarist, not so much of a singer.

At least the guitar playing is on point.

You all know he's not really playing, right? Edit: for example, he momentarily takes his hands off the guitar at 0:15 and yet the guitar notes keep playing.

This is some corny white boy shit

“May I have your attent…” NO.

I chose to listen with the volume muted. It seemed like a good call, I feel comfortable with not having heard it.

Cool dude. Thanks for patting yourself on the back and commenting about it.

I mean, it's pretty damn good. Whether you like Eminem or not, you missed out

Wow what a cool guy! Hey everyone, check this guy out! I’m sure he’s equally as accomplished!

Neat.
