Original subtitles

ah haha

music

oh that's crazy

dang man oh that was okay

i'm sorry i need all that again that was just too good

we're gonna count to three

and we're gonna get right on into this reaction

of a leap doing his rendition of hotel california

all right so we gotta count to three

one two come on

a leap guitar master

we know this

i've seen a couple of his tunes

totally a fan already

now someone had requested hotel california

that's an obvious yes for me because growing up

that was the song that introduced me to the eagles

you know in high school

that was the one we just put on repeat

and just sit around and listen to

so i'm excited to see his arrangement of this let's go

music

music

okay before we go on

the first part was very recognizable

from the beginning of the song

original song

but then he started the percussion on his guitar

which is very similar to the original as well

then after that

he did a little bit of his own variation of that part

i think after that

a lot of fast paced movements

with his fingers already showing

so so much fluent movements

and it is so fast that part

but it's pretty familiar

because i actually know

the acoustic version of hotel california

almost better than the commercial version

on electrical guitar

music

is it just me

like he's really into it

like i love

i have not seen him as animated as in this one

i just love his style so much

the way he puts his own spin and energy into it

without really changing the song

and that is just so brilliant

and not easy to do because it's still totally

authentically the same song

but there's something about it where you could just

like immediately if you'd hear it you'd be like

this alibata

you know it's just such a signature sound

and signature finger style

it's just absolutely fantastic

i want to go back to here

i really love that

what he's doing with it

oh

whoa

come on andy

oh

oh my gosh

oh

okay that was wild

i was not really expecting that

because we got this whole like tonality of like

e e minor like e phrygian whatever is going on here

but then all of a sudden like

i was getting voodoo but that but deep about

but do but how about

we started swinging a little bit

and it got kind of bluesy for a second

i was like oh we're

we're stepping over you know kind of genres here

this is cool

i love what he's doing

let's go back five seconds to keep this going

music

music

man it's like he goes through that note so quickly

welcome to the hotel california

he goes very quickly and very swiftly

through that higher note and back

like it's just nothing

i'd notice that

he's not using a capo

but i do think that it's in the original key

it sounds like that but i'm not sure

i would have to hear the original for that but

seems so familiar

i think it is in the original tone i'm not

there's so much soul in that

do you feel that

do you hear that

it's just like oh my god

he adds a whole

another level to that

and i mean it's the eagles right

like how could you top that

but for some reason he just adds another layer to this

with his finger styling and the little

playing those higher notes

the way he just rings those notes out

it's just so beautiful

so tastefully done

ali we love you

and again like i said like i really

i have not seen him like throw down like that

so i feel like he's really like

just digging the song and like

getting into it where he's like totally in the zone

which i so love seeing that

oh my god

he's good he's good he's really really really good

this was did you see

i got goosebumps when i was playing

no he did an absolutely brilliant job with this and and

did you hear how nice the song is without vocals

he was playing the vocals

he did so so you got the melody as well

all right so just before we keep going here

i think one of the things

that's really important about him is

it's hard to do a cover like this because literally

the whole world knows the song right

like everybody

for the most part

maybe you know

maybe not like

today's high school kids

but you know

you know i'm saying like

everybody knows the song

so when you cover something that

that's popular

that is that popular

you have to

you have to bring enough of your own style

to still make it

you know like

respectable

and he does that amazingly

because as i'm listening i'm like

i'm shifting between

like oh yes

i can hear some original

like guitar stylings

but then i just hear a whole flow of his style of this

how different it is from the original

so it's like

it's a really good combination of both worlds here

so well done on that back five

that was good

that was good he said

elite yes that was so good

look look you could sing right along with it

you can sing right along with his rendition

that is how fabulous fabulous a leap is guys

i absolutely enjoyed that

you could definitely move to it

the melody is just on point

the intro was spot

the intro was fire

the outro was extra fire

that was good

i liked it i absolutely enjoyed that

the man is just so

he's very very good

he's technically but not only that

you see how he bends the tones and everything

he puts a lot of emotion into this

that's just

oh no this was

this is probably the best stop on a morning i've had in

in a few days so

yeah that's such a nice accent to just keep it staccato

almost where you just have a short note

but you don't let the sound move on

you just stop the sound right away

pom pom pom instead of pom pom pom

on guitar then all right

oh man and he was great

okay so i just

again i'm just gonna repeat the same thing i said

a minute ago

about how important it is when you play a cover of this

like you know when it's this famous

how important is you make it sound your own to

and it just

that happens so much

i think a lipa toss hey

i'm not saying anything that anybody hasn't said before

everyone knows this

you hear him play your captivated

you know the talent levels there

and you can see that

he's just so on cruise control and like low

just like so chilled out

like there's no stress in him

like it's one take

there's no mistakes

it's just there

it is just there

so those are the kind of musicians that i probably

respect the most in the world

because it's honestly the most difficult

so that's pretty awesome

thank you for that recommendation
