- Hey guys! Here's one of my favorite songs to play in the entire world. I learned it for a close friend. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for watching!
(Feb 2018 Update: I recorded this nearly a year ago, when I hardly knew what I was doing. Sound/video quality isn’t great, and I know there is room for improvement, lol! Still, thanks for watching 😉)

Yes, I was impressed too ... crazy girl and talented..and nice legs
When you’re classically trained but still hood at heart.
She is very talented... I don't hear or see anything hood in her though.
@@peteunknown7835 the song dude
😂😂😂
I freakin love this comment 😂😂😂😂🙌🏼
I can tell by how bad she is holding the bow that she isn't classically trained.
Bless you, algorithm, for bringing me here. This young artist brings so much soul with her music! She seems to be a complete orchestra all by herself.
Coolio for sure is smiling looking and listening to you wherever he is now.Beautiful version! You are a GEM!
Interviewer: “So you’re doing a cover of Gangster’s Paradise, what parts are you going to play?”
Taylor: “Yes”
Interviewer: you can't do that. Taylor: hold my beer
Mission impossible
...
ACCOMPLISHED with added class!
She said: "ooooh, yes"
@@sfbunnyman spat my drink over my keyboard #thanks
Hell yeah lol
I'm not big on rap, but Coolio hooked me with this song. I almost passed over the cover, but being a retired musician I felt guilty to do so. I didn't feel much of her hook at first, but she seemed confidently deliberate & consistent with all her movements as the layers blended into familiarity. Then her voice kicked off owning Coolio's rap like it was her own. Love the layers, artistry, multi instrimemtal musicianship & unique expression vocally. Glad I gave it a chance. It was a great treat. Bravo !
I could have written every single word Bob...... you saved me the hassle! :-)
@@johnphelan6623 😂😂
Brava!
The amount of talent is awe inspiring... and the beauty 🙊
There's so much talent in the World, sometimes it's hard to breathe....
There is and always as been but only nowadays do we see most of it since the internet provides the means for global viewing. Do not let that discourage you from perssuing a hobby or skill that you really like. Compare yourself to who you where yesterday not to who someone is today. :)
And most of it is on CZcams 👍👍👍
Love that movie

Wasn't sure what to expect. The music just flows through you. Amazing.
Some random dude says to her " I bet you can't do a cover of gansta paradise with your style" Taylor Reed: "Hold my lemonade".
2006 called. It wants it unfunny tryhard youtube top comments back.
Dont you have an opinion for yourself or why is it that you replicate a 5000 times overused comment just to get a few likes off of random people you dont even know?
Hold my beer* it's ok .. women drink beer too
Hold my lemonade
best comment here, better than the video itself ... and "hold my lemonade" is just apt 😁
How about hold my joint!
"oh, you're doing "gangsta's paradise"?
you're rapping?"
- "hold my shoes!"
leg's paradise :)
Marcus B. 🤣👌
LOL!
I'm not even half way through and I'm blown away. Talented, intelligent, beautiful voice, did it all on her own 👌👌👌💖
There are 5000 very sad, strange, disillusioned people in the world.. I'd like them to try and do this! You're very talented.. just learning ukulele at 43 and envious!!!
5 thousand dummies
Thats an extreme amount of idiotic hatred for no reason...unless its envy and jealousy
You seem to be a fanboy imbecile. Just because someone doesn't like something doesn't mean they're any of the adjectives you ascribe. The fact remains, this cover despite the talent and artistry, just doesn't work.
The most impressive part of the pedalboard-work, is the turning of the knob at 1:35
Mr. Wonderful She a super hero! 😜💥
And left footed too!
Have to admire talent when you come across it, guitar, fiddle, voice not to mention the pedals which is a skill in it's self. Well done.
Chris Gifford Thank you!
Ok i was just researching loopers but somehow i came here and managed to misplace my jaw
I lost my heart...
Same 😂😂
Check out Keller Williams for some good looping as well. OG STAGE

@@brp0u12 That name sounds suspicious.
Wow. This is a precious version and she made it just gorgeous. Nicely done Taylor Reed!
Am I the one that after having watched that for so many times, I am still stunned by the subtle way she dances on the whole song...??
hypnotising ay
It's amazing one part at a time , together truly outstanding. The arrangement of it all is mindblowing, the fact she built it right in front of my eyes, I'm utterly speechless. Talented doesn't begin to describe this amazing soul.
WOW! I am speechless. You took one of my all-time favorite songs and made it fresh and definately your own. I felt like I was hearing it for the first time and I loved it all over again.
I listen to this while working and it's very relaxing, I like your style !
I am blown away on how great this cover is, definitely a new take on this song! So much skill and emotion pouring out of this song! Keep it up! Really enjoyed listening to this!
Talented is an understatement!!! This was incredibly beautiful!! Awesome rendition!!
Such a talent, each time I watch l see more, I am learning guitar at the moment and my instructor has been teaching me about rhythm and keeping the beat, I noticed how you began to strum without touching the strings to get the rhythm and beat before you touched the strings, so cool to see what the instructor says and how you really exaggerated it and proved his point. Awesome and great technique 👍🙏👍
Let’s see...

Well, if it's cheap
then do it better :D
@@kamil1292 it is better to do nothing, than do cheap, dude :D
@@jackfaber7710 Hahaha 🤣 I'm not agree but you make me laugh so hard so i give you point 🤣🤣
i feel like im on a similar rollercoaster
Anyone who has tried working a looping pedal/station knows how much credit this deserves!
Keep it coming 🙌🙌
You know those times when recommendations actually gets something right...this is one of those times. Wow excellent work hope to see more in the future. 🤯🎻❤️
Yeah Tupac... what a waste of talent
Back again, to watch this brilliant piece of art. Everything about this is simply amazing.
I've watch this several times, first time with headphones on and her VOICE! Wow, I was mesmerized but the instruments before, so much going on. Incredible musician.
Dang algorithm, you tossing me some good good.

Riiiight
Same here! Blown me away!
Right on
Natural and pure talent! Playing multiple instruments and singing at the same time, just unbelievable.
This is about the 5th time at least I have watched this, girl you are brilliant! Love this so much!
Excellend performance your timing is impeccable, great work cant wait to see more.
You're so good Taylor. Your voice, your ability with the instruments, no more words, just applauses. Brasilian fan here.
I wonder if live looping started as a reaction on how over produced all music is and how artists today "can't play".
This is impressive on so many levels, and it is fun to hear the music take shape.
Actually probably more likely that it can be quite difficult to find reliable band members and also it's just super fun and challenging thing to do! :)
@Charles Lee Ray yeh it's true but to get a good loop down specially multi-instrumenal takes some practice. Most my looping parts I have to put in some good time to get good results
@Charles Lee Ray Disagree .Most classic guitar solos are pieced together in bits. Listen to beat it EVH there's no way that's a full take it's 15 bars long so it was glued together from individual takes and the same with stairway to heaven.
Charles Lee Ray she doesn't have 8 arms though....
are none of you aware of the fact that 'live looping' technically started with Les Paul in the 1950's?
Him and his wife began using multi-tracking in their home as a way to write, play, record, and perform..
Loopers/Multi-tracks don't just fulfill one function, or make up for any lack of skill,
in fact, they more often than not help build skills, as people can freely explore ideas.
It's not necessarily an easy feat in of itself to smoothly transition all one take with live looping, even if it is a quantized looper,
it takes loads of exploring ideas, writing, decision making, and practice to properly set up an entire song with loops, let alone in a performance environment
Wow Girl! You are so talented!!! I honestly can't believe how anyone would give this a thumbs down. The haters are just jealous! Don't even bat an eye or give any of them the time of day! You are incredible and inspiring!!!
I agree she's awesome and I'm a musician that does live looping too...she's really good! :)
This cover is woefully underrated and deserves much more publicity and recognition.
Taylor, this is absolutely phenomenal! You're extremely talented and your ability to put everything together to make such a great performance is just mind-blowing!
Your way of taking songs and truly making them your own is a quality of creative genius that's really rare. Not to mention your voice has so much SOUL! :O I'm shook!
I know it's tough putting yourself out there, but don't get discouraged. Keep doing what you love and you're bound to grow even more along the way!
damn. she's the full package! howcome people like her never get the recognition that's deserved? this was incredible.
Yeah I'm sure they're adamantly opposed to talent and no one successful has ever become so based on the merit of their work.
cleanloader she's white.
Well being seen by 2.5 million people is a good start, she's young, it'll get better. You have to remember she's doing covers and not originals, plus looping is hard, but MANY people can do it. I'm not taking away from her obvious talent however there's 1000 people on CZcams who "deserve" more credit.. it's the top 5 that'll get it.
cleanloader WORD the fuck UP!!
Ed sheeran does exactly what she did here.. looking .. he's an example of some one who got recognition
This is the evolution of the One Man Band dude with the guitar, harmonica, cymbals between the knees, castanet, tin whistle, etc, etc.
Impressive Taylor! Multi skilled and obvious dedicated work ethic. Go far.
Taylor, you owned it regardless of how you delivered it. Classical, Pop, Reggae, Country, Rap is irrelevant when it comes to genius. Thank you for acknowledging, expressing, and appreciating Coolio’s brilliance and your interpretation of it.
I can't get enough of the entrance of the violin part! gives me goosebumps..
The foot work on the loop station is incredible. The song is fantastic. GREAT Job!
Seriously, I stared at her feet long enough that I started to think I had a foot fetish.
The tap dancing may have been the best part.
JC MmmBrains😂I'm glad I'm not the only one! I started to make myself uncomfortable staring at her feet! Lol!
When the real streets collide with genius... Absolutely brilliant recording.
Wow! I loved your performance! It is incredibly wonderful!
Congratulations!!! You have one more fan!!!
I literally just said "Holy shit". AMAZING doesn't even begin to describe this. You are amazing, girl!
Im speechless 2
This is one pass time paradise that seriously paid off. 🤟 word to the wonderful.
Taylor Reed you are absolutely brilliant. I watch this and then pick up my ukulele and try again.
This girl is pure talent
The part where you added the violin was wicked cool. It made the song have all the emotion!
Murrauder the original also had violins though
certain musicality brings me goosebumps. you do this with such amazing talent. Keep it up!
Lovely, lovely cover, and you really brought your own style to performance. ❤️
Rest In Power, Coolio. 🙏💪🌙❤️✝️
RIP =
Reincarnation
In
Progress
Awesome setup.. super vibey 🤙🏽 I cant wait to see what you create next
Amazingly well practiced to command so many foot switches without looking! Blown away!
The only things I can say are I love how you presented the song, good use of fx, and just a good solid performance.
Well done.
You can rarely surprise me with something ... But now my eyes are rolling out .... SUPER ... Thank you very much ...🌹
What a talent and what a nice personalised cover ! You play music and sing amazingly well.
Taylor, you rock. This is incredible! So talented!
Can't remember the last time I sat through an entire"looper" video, nice. Flawless
Amazing and absolutely talented!!! Wow! Amazing artist, singer, producer !great job!
Stunning, beautiful version.
The outro is the best part. Outros are huge to me, and is what made the original coolio song amazing, and what made your cover extra amazing.
Wow! Well done. I love the looping, and you have a great voice. Lots of talent here!
Stunning talent, love this cover.
Absolutely amazing work!
i just clicked the 4,000th like on this video. It should have 4 million!! just amazing. So on point with all the equipment and instruments. Looks like you can do it blindfolded! So great!!!
Wow...she is multi-talented, multi-footed and can sing!! And multi-memoried...I would have forgotten where I was after the second loop!! Go girl...
Oh my GOD! I am lost for words! Fantastic!
That is some crazy crazy crazy skills...all around ❤️❤️❤️
That was an amazing way to create art! Thanks for sharing this.
That's awesome! Your voice is amazing!👍
Superb in all ways. My hat is off to Ms. Taylor Reed.
This is one of the most incredible thing's ive ever seen
Fantastic. Technically - in terms of using the RC300 and the musicianship in general, and in terms of the emotion as well in the performance, over and above the looping technique and skill, which is top notch. No one cares about how fast pedals can be pressed if it doesn't make you feel anything. Fantastic. Very glad to have stumbled across this. After many years of working with loop pedals and being involved in that and other people who do the same, this is one of the best things I've ever seen anybody do, unknown and well known people both. It succeeds in being about the music over and above the technique, which doesn't get in the way of the music being front and center, it just makes it happen, which is the point, but not everyone can manage it, and few as good as that. Massively impressed, and a great example of what can be done with looping when there's skill, talent and emotion brought to it.
%1000
The killing in The Hood is still going on, what you got to say about that entertained person? Oh and you so technical
So much hard work and talent! Keep doing your thing :)!

Awesome! I do live looping with the Boss RC-300 as well and I love listening to other people looping! You sound great and using the pedal really good is definitely an art in itself! Keep rockin'! :)
Ended up here by accident and was privileged to see true talent. Very, very well done! *subscribed
Guau.! Estoy estupefacto. Talento por todos lados. La voz, al tocar esos instrumentos y ni hablar de la imaginación para crear esa interpretación. Felicidades. Saludos desde La Patagonia, Argentina.
Wow. Wow. I don't know how many times I said said wow, I lost count... Talk about multi-dexterous too! This is probably one of the best, and most unique covers I've ever seen, and amazing looping and layering with a great variety of sound! Amazing, awesome, loved it!
Thanks to YT for randomly showing this in the suggested sidebar :D lol
omg chill out mate she didn't write the damn song
@@lilpumpupthejam9302 Waaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiitaminit..... you're kidding, right? Say it ain't so! I swear this was a unique song! That's totally what I mean by 'cover'!
Nah, I like being excited by creativity and jaw-dropping instrumental and looping skillz, and not ashamed to show it and support the artist with encouragement, thanks ;) But thanks for the comment, mate!
Cache the Line Same reaction! ❤️
This gal is gifted - pretty incredible! Thank you for posting
She is awesome! Brilliant work!
