LOFI LUTE 🎧 1 Hour of Chill Beats to Relax/Study to
Here I am fantasising about getting a lute, but the version with the guitar sounds so wonderful…
You know whats funny, I randomly started doing this without ever knowing what Mongolian Throat singing was, and I didnt even know about the beginning of Dune either. Then one day im sitting on the couch and then I started doing the throat singing like I usually did when my older brother says, "Hey that sounds like the Mongolian throat singing!". I thought that he made that up but then he showed me the video of it, and then recorded me making the sound and was like, "yeah your Mongolian throat singing!" and now I do it at least once every day so now my throat is kinda used to it, im still working on the overtones, but one day I will get it!
im confused, so how did ancient mongolians find out how to do this? was one of them just like “hey im doing this funny sound with my throat check it out ŒAÀAOÃ im not a witch i promise” and then someone else said “hey lets turn this into music” and that was it?
Can't see anything 😮
Bbnodenarii
Yeah, very easy, now I can play flamenco
Not more expensive are not worth it at all, feels like listening to bad salesmen
Great playing.The problem is that you don't wanna share with others how u play. No wonder the less number of views. Share and you grow. Peace ✌️
Huh? I have a two part free tutorial teaching this technique...perhaps you didn't search to fine all my educational content online?
I'd love to see a list of guitar recommendations and sound testing between the $200 and $2,000. I mean, there's a HUGE price gap here that was completely ignored
Now that's a cool technique to have but people will probably think that you are faking
With this shoot, the zombie will die in awe
Excellent tips! Thank you Brandon!!
Oh, the beauty of both! But while they're undeniably very different even here, my impression is that you're playing the guitar with a capo, and adopting the lute-playing position for the right hand, brings them closer together. Put differently, and it definitely is a compliment, I've rarely if ever heard a classical guitar sound so "renaissance". Thank you Brandon!
I got the first 2 but the soundports threw me for a loop
most beautiful piece of music and beautifully performed by the amazing brandon, always bring me to tears everytime I watch this video
Homies girl has to be the most relaxed in the universe😂
Were they all the same strings?
Were they all the same strings?
Beautiful ❤
Over 300 years ago black keys were not what it is today. A-sharp was 1/4 pitch higher than A and B-flat was 1/4 pitch lower than B. In other words A# & Bb used to be different until Bach came along and decided it'd be easier to use equal temperament making A# & Bb the same note.
The bands name is Huur Huun Tu, not Huun Huur Tu.
Now my guitar is walking up to me daily with 40 dollars demanding me to play this way.
I'm just stunned of your speed. My fingers hurt.
If you’re not already a member, maybe check out The World Association of Throat Singing. Simply send a link to one of your videos as “proof” of your abilities. 😉💜
This is too mind boggling for a peasant like me ahahahah lol😭 I kept looking for the metronome or some other instruments, like where did that rhythmic sound come from?!!! I cannot fathom the grit needed for one to master this, great work!
I like playing guitar can you help me I don't know how to play
This video finally helped me do them right, I watched so many videos, read so many articles on how to do them, but this video finally helped me to do them the right way. Thank you so much!
Doth the lute shredeth? I know not, doth the local population be smitten with the black plague? The answer is the same
But what chords are you playing??
My nails always hurt when I do the strum back up idk what I do wrong (AND YES, FOR WHOEVER KNOWS ME, YES I HAVE LONG NAILS, NO, IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THAT, WHEN I HAD SHORT NAILS IT HURT TOO, IM NOT PARANOID AT ALL I KNOW Y'ALL OBSERVE ME)
Isn't g# the same as A flat?
Why instrument is he playing at the start
A bit unrelated to the video topic, but... For some reason I cannot access your amaozn gear link. Granted, I am outside of the US, but affiliate links usually work for me here nonetheless. Any idea how I could reach the link's destination anyway? It always leads me to Amazon's "sorry, something went wrong on our end" message.
Yes it works on my newer videos :)
@@brandonacker, with the individual items? Indeed it seems to work, thank you 🙏 However, do you happen to know if there is a way to view your full list of gear from there? If not, it is ok, as I have now found your link to the specific piece I wanted, but I was wondering if there is a way to view your full list ☺️ I know that after going to your affiliate link, I can essentially purchase any item and stay with the affiliation, so the strings I can find on my own. But I was curious to see what else you use. I honestly feel like it's right under my nose somewhere... like my keys when I leave the house 😉 By the way, just watched your twin reveal. You two are charming together 😁
Glad it worked. It's the only list I have cheers!
All of those hammer ons and pull offs make my fingers hurt just watching you play. That is definitely difficult, thanks for sharing!
Maybe you think that this is just another video with some "gourmet effect" with some specialist trying to sell you something overpriced and average, just like most of these wine sellers. But... if you just feel the sound without seeing the video, i assure you, you will be able to know exactly the type of guitar. Ressonance is Physics, vibration can be felt. And a very good Luthier hears the vibration direct from the wood, and extracts it in a form... it´s really gorgeous.
👏👏👏👏👏
The best shorts are those who look like clickbait, and yet still manage to deliver. 😎
Dude has those alien fingers
dont use steel strings
I prefer the sound with nails it’s so crisp and clear
He went from steam engine to flamenco in five seconds.
Thanks for such an informative video. I am a beginner in guitar although I am not new to playing musical instruments as a hobbyist. Perhaps I will never have a chance to try even USD20K instrument, forget about 200K. So thanks for giving that pleasure if understanding the difference. Personally, I liked that guitar woth USD20K and I hope I get to that level where I can afford and more importantly justify the possession.
I really hope for a "Purcell album" (CD) of your duet ! Best wishes.
It will be made this October in New York for the label Alpha Classics 😊
Congratulations ! Many thanks , so October will ve a very nice month 📀🎶🎧! Best wishes!

Just WOW!
Leon from 11 years ago still had the skill, glad you Remake it🤘🏻👍🏻
The $2,000 and $20,000 sounded so similar I pretty sure wouldn't be able to tell the difference if you blindfold me. Both very sweet sounding proper guitars. Then the $200,000 one had some extra clarity to the notes. And resonants more sharply compared to the rest.
Imagine that strumming pattern but metal
I have tip for beginners also. When i practiced, i found its easier to hit the frequency if u try to do it with the mostly resonating sound or tone. So first try all the comfortable tones u got, and chose the one that you actually feel resonate your mouth. you can feel it on yout ttoth, tounge, lips and the whole head. also open your mouth for a little hole, it makes more easy to sense the resonsance. I you found that, try to stretch your throat as if trying to make it big, open up in every direction and bumm there it is. Warning if it hurts, you trying too hard, dont force, try to do it a bit differently. As you experimenting with it, you will find the way. I hope it helps to smoeone 😄 As i would describe it, its a regular sound or tone amplified with a hollow throat.
