Well I've made my way back to The Dooo and there are many things that you could say about this musician... but we're going to say one.....
hes amazing.
I really love the vibe and the humour that this guy has going on. What a killer amount of talent and work ethic all in one that really makes you want to invest in what he's doing. Well done, Eric. Well done.
Sending love,
-DJ

Thanks to our amazing Templar family!
he plays the crazy train riff in that song since its the first riff he learned
Unfortunately he had to switch that part out for Rocksmith.
He also plays a part of the Psychosocial solo by Slipknot
That's so sweet
Wasn't the first song he learned barbie girl? Or was that a bitm
@@maxwellsage7422 That was a bit
Yes the Crazy Train bit was correct; he was paying homage to the first riff he learned. He had to modify that part when he submitted Ascend to Rocksmith.
That actually got cut out instead of being modified lol
@@Mr_Suite no he modified it to just a different part of the solo
also the version on spotify is the same as the rocksmith version im pretty sure
He really had to cut out a 2 second homage that's only vaguely similar to the original song? Man, current copyrights are fucking bullshit.
@@SingularisFox You wouldn't think like that if you actually created something worth being copyrighted in your sad life.
I don't think anyone before has seen the Doo shredding and thought to himself: _Oh, that's gotta be a pianist!_
Thanks for showing the world you have no musical IQ to speak of.
ahut up cukc
His main instrument isn’t the piano it’s the guitar. He’s always played the guitar for like 15/20 ish years
a clue to that was him trying to vibrato the piano key lol
He said once that he stopped playing guitar for a while to play piano, then picked guitar back up. But he was already pretty good by the time he picked it back up.
@@SpencerFoust So if I've been playing the piano for 10 years and suddenly felt the urge to invest some time to play guitar am I now a guitarist or am I a retired pianist?
I honestly believe the instrument I've put most time and effort in is my main instrument, all others are paths I explored on the side.
Once you established years of muscle memory and learned an instrument to its core It'll be your instrument it's nearly impossible to forget how to learn said instrument even if you tried to.
@@Jeahy. I play a little bit of piano. Of course I’m not as good as I am at guitar, but I really do like playing it since it’s so versatile to write songs with. I’ve written plenty of riffs on piano and just transcribed them to guitar. You wouldn’t be retired, you never retire from an instrument once you know how to play it.
It's interesting, though, because he plays octaves like a bassist... using the index and pinky fingers; instead of the index and ring fingers like most guitarists do.
The phrasing with the tasteful dynamics is what really makes this song. Some parts really sound like the guitar is singing.
I had a similar experience when I first heard Joe Satriani or Paul Gilbert, it almost sounded like the guitar is speaking to you. Best example I can think of is "Don't rain on my firewood" from the Fuzz Universe album.
Definitely agree for me another son that does this but very differently is jimmy Hendrix ezy rider
That is the old dooo. He ascended again. Check out his dual neck vids. Single greatest vids on the tubes. Im not the most learned musician but he seems to keep perfect time along with his technical skills. On the spot requests better than anything you heard made in a studio. I hope that guy is rich af. He is a champion.
He's a young Michael Angelo Batio with that dual neck guitar vid, If you don't know check out Speed Kills or No Boundaries by Michael AB. and just let the rabbit hole take you.
He has been playing guitar for over 13 years I believe. His guitar playing is some of the best I've seen in a while.
Correction, 15+
@@WDC-TacPotato that is still over 13 years
His other song 'Eclipse' has some interesting technique that he used, I don't see many people playing like that. ( preferably the version with the new guitar, of course ).
There are several shorter vids of TheDooo, one a recently released song that was a collaboration between himself and two other CZcamsrs, Gibson and John Silkie. Despite the title, But I Pretend I'm a Beginner (based on one of his popular Omegle video series), it is a serious song that speaks of the challenges and rewards of a content creator. I thought the lyrics were actually pretty good, and reactors especially will be able to relate to them. Surprisingly, TheDooo only adds vocals to this one, along with Gibson. John Silkie does all instruments. You can tell who's singing at the time by watching the cartoon frame. TheDooo is in the middle with the ? on his face, while Gibson is far right. TheDooo adds high, clean vocals with occasional rasp and all the soaring falsetto. Gibson adds some clean vocals and all screamo stuff. The other song I'll recommend is another instrumental by TheDooo, called Ethereal. It has a funny opening that is the introduction of his Hello Kitty guitar. Enjoy!

I Found My Dream Guitar (Ethereal) - czcams.com/video/O50M394UwZI/video.html
Been a guitarist in muliple bands for about 30 yrs and he's definitely one of the best pitch perfect all around musicians I've ever seen. And his straming he does with his friends while playing games is so fucking funny. You gotta check that out, just look for best of doo 2021
This song gives me chills and goosebumps, that's how I know it's simply "fucking beautiful"
I am convinced that The Dooo is the greatest guitar player on Earth and I really don't think anyone can convince me otherwise.
You’re not alone. He is the greatest to ever play.
he is
Davie504 begs to differ……lol
@@stephenjamison5495 he plays bass, not guitar.
Buckethead, Tim Henson...
thedooo is awesome following him for years now and always blows youre mind even if you watch old ones back that you start to forget they were there.
As a guitarist, I appreciate the fact you used Dimebags' Cemetary Gates solo as an example to show viewers what you meant when you were explaing the floating bridge. Perfect example so you gained a subscriber.
"I heard a little bit of crazy train, lemme go back"
**Rewinds 3 minutes**
👀
The dooo doesnt bleed blood. He bleeds music notes!! Ive been a huge fan of the dooo for yrs now and this dude is talented!!!! Very talented!!!
Loved the little crazy train lick and I love the fact he didn't over kill it and moved along into some other really sick sh%t 🤘🏻
He’s been playing guitar for over 14 years which is awesome 😊
I believe dooo started playing guitar for a while then switched to piano to learn music theory now he does mainly guitar
I think he started on the violin...😁
@@iceninja46 thats true yeah
You NEEEEEED to listen to "...But I Pretend I'm A Beginner" by TheDooo and GBSN!!! Amazing song and TheDooo's vocals are impressive. GBSN did some insane stuff too, but even more impressive is all of the guitar and stuff is done by John Silkie, if you watch the video their characters light up when they're singing. You'll love the song tbh
Thank you so much for the cemetery gates reference... The end of that song is the pinnacle of whammy use
Its so wild watching his vids regularly. Its gnarly content with wonderful music. Amazing too funny
The real beauty of this song is once you learn it is the melody translates well to other instruments, I've played it on giutar, piano, 6 string bass, and a friend is currently learning it on a harp and it sounds soooo good.
The Doo is one of my favorites, I did spend a week every evening when I was staying on US on omegle and chatted with him once… and was blown away with what he plaid to me
The Dooo is an amazing guitarist. So much so that he plays with Herman Lee. I remember his content back in the BO2 days
@@islamisthetruewaytogod6812 stfu with your te**orist shi*
Yeah bro the dooo is seriously a gem. Amazing play by ear guitarist
You need to watch him play his ukelele on rocksmith he finds out the game could pick up his voice through the sound hole, and acapella’s a few songs with his voice XDXD
the dooo actually says in one of his videos that he likes his guitar tuned like a piano, so what you said about him playing the guitar like a piano makes a lot of sense.
Thanks for making another thedooo reaction
His full instrument cover of hallelujah was pretty inspiring
czcams.com/video/gBEDUfYqVRc/video.html
The second he said divebomb i was so hoping for dimebag to make a pop up. Did not dissapoint
He started on a violin! So, so much talent!!
Giving some great Andy James vibes too I love it!
It's a Sterling with a single-locking two-point bridge, Strat style but two points of contact instead of the typical 6 screws you'd see on a more vintage style Fender tremolo. EBMM use them a lot.
One thing I find myself asking when I hear this being a fan of him for so long is did The Dooo intend for this to have lyrics but never introduced them? Because he has quite a voice too
I'm a big fan of Shawn Lane...but we love this! This is the first I've heard him do slower, more melodic runs. Nicely thought out! Great hearing his material!
The Doo is utterly insane, so much talent
when a rest is a strongly notable part of a song you know it was well composed
Piano player switched to guitar, I immediately think of Yvette Young of Covet. She's incredible!
You should do his other originals. They are also so very good
Love Dime’s Squeal. The absolute best at it
That whole section was an homage to crazy train. He's referencing the solo as well if you listen closely. I know he does the same kind of thing with Davie 504 and a Through the a Fire and flames. It's just a little more subtle and refined in his song. I'm a big Randy Rhodes fan so I recognized it immediately.
Look at the reverse descend… amazing
What is that outro song? Love the riff and it sounds like a great backing track!
You really need to react to some Charles Berthoud. He's probably one of the best bassists ever - all of his videos show off not only his incredible technique but also his amazing compositional skills.
Hes technically great yea. but its a stretch calling him the greatest ever. Hes the best youtube bassist by far. But if you think hes the best, you have some searching to do. when it comes to phrasing and composing, Victor Wooten still way better. Jeff schmidt etc. Charles is a soloist. Which allows you to play outrageous things. Now dont get me wrong. The man is a hell of a musician. But Hes got some years before hes considered one of the greats. But he will eventually be there.
@@ScootsMcPoot - I never said he was the greatest ever, I said he was one of the best...
“Did I miss it” rewinds it back 3 minutes
as a guitar player, crazy train was my first riff i learned
He has crazy train and also bullet for my valentine hearts burst into fire mixed in there
I never actually thought about it before but your comment on piano and guitar playing makes sense. I always thought his long and agile fingers were from long term guitar playing but they may also come from equally as long piano playing. His forearms are quite thick though so I suspect it guitar. The thing that also gets me is his clarity and accuracy on the frets.
can you react to him singing sound of silence its really good i love it
he also has 2 other solos that I would recommend reacting to
I know he wrote this a while back. And I have been playing for decades. Started with piano, then violin, then sax, flute and whatever. This guy is fantastic. He was in his 20s if not still so. From what I get he is chill AF as a person. I can't get close on to main main instrument now (guitar) to him, So I take influence.
The Dooo threw the book at the guitar for this track, like every single style of play got thrown in. Picking, sweeps, taps, finger taps, pick taps, arpeggios, pinch, octaves, hybrid picking, speed picking, finger picking, whammy dives, fret play (working the neck), bend dives, I know I am missing a couple but you get the point.
That is just how he plays, he mastery is unrivaled.
He can even play like this to songs he’s never heard, just let him listen for like 10 seconds and he can play the song to near perfection.
@@moistmellow1198 I know, I'm just saying that used just about every guitar technique in one track.
My only issue with his playing is how stiff his right hand seems to be when he plays some of the fast runs he does. From what I understand, he’s since fixed this. But in the video, he grips his pick pretty tightly and beyond it being bad for your hands, it slows your playing down. But you’re right: he displays a lot of technique here and he does it very well.
@@TheTouristArrives he’s still one of the best shredders around, I think it is just his technique. If he can still play some of the fastest riffs while not loosening his wrist I think it works for him
please more of theDooo! xD
idk if im just hearing things but the piano reminds me alot of glassy sky
TheDooo really is something else
I just watched your other reaction as well, the Zelda Medley and you said his moniker "TheDooo" was weird to say when regarding his video like 'Lets Do TheDooo video'... His Moniker used to be MountainDooo but when he started getting popular he was cautious about getting sued by the company behind MountainDew. So he Changed the name to TheDooo to avoid any confusion.
You have got to watch him and his friends making a song in 1-hour video, it is so funny and ironically somewhat a good song
As far as I remember, he started with guitar, then focused on piano before making his way back to guitar
What’s the outro song? I’m really digging that vibe.
Ascend is the best dawg!!!
Listen to him sing fly me to the moon. its amazing
Bro, when you mentioned crazy high divebombs, my first thought was Dimebag playing Cemetery Gates lmao
Hell ya! Haha
You mentioned his technique being similar to a pianist going to guitar, its actually the other way around. At the time of this comment TheDoo has been playing guitar for almost 16 years whereas piano is around 11 years.
This is the vibe I get from this video - Driving teacher reacts to Formula 1: "Ok now, that's REALLY COOL, he's turning the steering wheel to make the car turn. I can't see it but I bet you he's pushing the breaks with one of his feet right now. Do you know how I know it? The car is getting slower. Oh yea, I've been teaching driving for a long time so I know these things..."
He actually tries to vibrato the piano sometimes 😂. It's so fun
It is the crazy train riff and actually had to change it in the rocksmith dlc to learn the song due to copyright
You mentioned that you reacted to the doo before. I cant seem to find that Video? Or was it off camera?
I recommend watching his Omegle "Pretend to be a Beginner" series, as well as some of the others. You'll notice he has an excellent perfect pitch
The song he plays on his Hello Kitty guitar is called Ethereal. One of my favorites. Amazing song
the doo is really known for playing guitar in cod lobbies. never knew he could play piano but have seen alot of his bo2 content
Thedoo is very much a guitar player first and then a piano player
Yea I was about to say he’s definitely played guitar longer and it was his second instrument he played violin first.
His main instrument is guitar he played for about 15 years now.
He just made a new song. I highly suggest going and giving that a listen!
Fun thing about TheDooo, he actually started playing guitar first, and then started playing the piano afterward. Which is an unusual transition, most people do that in reverse.
Nice! At the start it was giving me Zelda: Ocarina vibes. Similiar sound.
Really? I heard more Dearly Beloved than Zelda: OoT
need to watch Dooo playing with Hermann Lee
Musicman guitars didn't use flyod rose tremolo, they use their own tremolo system..
His main instrument is the guitar tho. So it’s the opposite of what you said. Piano is his secondary instrument. He’s just super talented
He has 2 other songs like this called "Eclipse" and "Horizons."
He actually uploaded remade versions of this song (and 2 others)
You should check out his song „eclipse“
Nice JBP shirt my friend!
I honestly also heard gohans anger from the cell saga near the end
of course you like it its the DOO the man the myth the legend
Sterling/musician do use they’re own brand floating systems that work great
The doo is the 🐐
Nobody noticed the heart burst into fire intro?😭
This is so good man. Music is my religion!... If there is one thing I would love to do in life, it would be to sharpen my music skill up! I play drums bass and guitar and sing... but I am a working family man with hardly any free time! And btw... long live metal!
You should listen to The Doo playing Sound of Silence and Hallelujah
czcams.com/video/gBEDUfYqVRc/video.html
I don't know if this one is on his channel, but you should definitely see Eclipse
the guitar is a sterling musicman maj100 it doesnt say anything about the bridge bieng a FR model online but still id like one anyway
i believe that Eric is the best guitarist out right now. this is one of his own songs.
100% the pure amount of time and effort he has put into it shows and even impresses people who have been doing it longer
@@Volfur2251 I have to say he doesn't impress me as much as he should (?). I mean he's good, but still not very special for a guitar player. Is it maybe just the fact that he makes videos on youtube that people thinks he's so great? Or that he plays fast and with a lot of distortion and reverb?
Have you seen his Ascend and Descend videos? He can play the same song backwards
I guess its a little of both. He's mentioned that he's taken piano lessons early, but guitar is his main, like 17 years or something now
I see people commenting about the Crazy Train part, but I'm also pretty sure 5:38 - 5:42 is a homage to the solo of Psychosocial by Slipknot
Listen to the doos sound of silence cover. Its one of my favourite songs of all time regardless of the fact that it’s a cover
The bridge of that guitar isn't a Floyd Rose, but it's also not even the same KIND as that. That's just a standard floating bridge that many guitars had before the Floyd Rose style got popular. The typical thing you think of when you talk about a Floyd Rose, is where the strings are locked at the nut, between the neck and headstock, and there's knobs on the bridge on the opposite wide of the strings, which allows for fine tuning because the normal tuner pegs can't be used while the strings are locked at the nut. This guitar does not have tat system, and just has the basic old school floating bridge.
You know whats crazy...his first instrument was a violin
Seriously?
I'd love to see dooo play a violin.
I only wished TheDooo would use some "warmer" tones. Ascend with a warmer sound would be so great
