Doing a single camera playthrough for the haters saying you can only play songs in multiple takes? Now they understand why your guitar begs for mercy 🔥

[@MyNewEra2012]

👍

[@xtraspecialj]

To be fair, the audio you hear doesn't necessarily have to be the playing you're seeing... For all you know, the audio from this playthrough may be a hot mess and the actual audio you're hearing is a carefully edited collection of dozens of takes and overdubs to get it perfect... Not saying it is, I'm just saying that a single camera take is far from any kind of proof.

[@ColeRolland]

What did you guys think of this one camera angle look?

[@alexplaysguitar3122]

What can I say, I'd love to do the same ahah, but when I see something like tornado of souls it's not the same, but changing sometimes isn't bad !

[@rugvedtipare4005]

It looks sick Cole!!

[@janandre9804]

I like it because its simple. Not many transitions, doesn't get me dizzy. Cheers!

[@Lancealittle33]

i would say that both have their advantages, if someone is trying to watch you and learn, the one angle is a plus. a lot of your jams are just awesome to listen to and watch. the multiple angles make the watching part interesting. but, pretty much like 99% of the things you do, it always turns to gold no matter what. keep doing what you do. been following you since the "alive-Krewella". blew my mind then, blew my today. Amazing Job Sir!

[@AgentPB]

I'd say one camera angle is certainly ok when you can't do multiple. I'd rather the see the single camera be a patreon reward for people who want to watch the hands closely. I think multi-cam is more entertaining in general.

[@houtarooreki5751]

[@slapme3582]

Hold my beer

[@looniper3551]

I actually did once. I got thrown out.
The owner was showing off playing just a few chords from various songs, none of which bothered me.
But then he started bragging about how many years it takes to "get this good."
I was 7, and only been playing since 4, so I didn't have all that many Years invested, but I did know if he actually invested the kind of time he was bragging about, he would be a damned sight better.
So I picked up a student guitar, tuned it and played a few bars of Turkish March to get a feel for it, then rolled out Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement (having worked on it for months).
He was pissed.

These classical covers are absolutely my favorite ones that you do. Every one of them gives me chills and I just get entranced listening to them. You really move me with them.

Thanks! I’ve actually done that already. Check Spotify

[@TheRedAnvil40]

Legitimately had to watch this to believe it was even possible. Even people who have no respect for classical music have to have tons of respect for Cole’s talent. This movement of the Moonlight Sonata is insane, it impresses me even on the piano. Much respect.

Cry out of happinesses/pure joy that they got to discover such new instrument in their life time
Be disgusted cause it feels "cheap and noisy"
Won't get bothered/uninterested
Beethoven would probably be with the first option (if he could hear that is)
