imagine being a decent guitar player, but instead of being able to show off your skills, you’re forced to play shit you’ve only heard probably once in your life.
ok but imagine trying to play songs from memory that you barely know and then getting bashed for it lmao
Can we please get this comment to the top
Ikr cus jealous guitarists think there class
Ikr trying to play the songs by ear that's very hard even for an experienced player and considering his schedule the people who are "criticising" are embarrassing themselves
Okay but imagine uploading a video of you sucking at something and not practicing. Kid is a fucking joke.
@toomanycolors it's ok to be 14
why isnt anyone talking about how good his strangers things intro was-
Obviously knows his own show good
just a C chord lol
fr
Its only one chord but respect for him
Definitely easy, if u can play. The speed would be the hard part for sure
Why would you do this? haha. This is so difficult even if you are an experienced guitar player. At least give him a snippet of the songs or something
Nick Novak No.
no its not
Actually i cant disagree he had to play this song from memory, fokin memory dude
Bruh this ain’t harrrd it really isn’t. It’s fine that he’s not good at guitar buts it’s annoying that all these fan girls are acting like he’s amazing
@@cheems1233 It's hard if you didn't really pay attention to the music when seeing the movie. Can i ask you a question? Do you play guitar?
he knows the stranger things one by heart
No shit bruv hes on the bloody show
Mathias The cheese grater I love your username
@@luna1815 thanks bruv
just let him be a teen boy goddamn who cares if he's not spectacular. he was having fun, he tried his best. give him room to get better.
I Know that he doesn’t deserve much praise but damn there’s some really salty guitarists here... I’m a guitarists and I have to say that our community is so toxic because of the fact that everyone’s ego is so high and they always say “I can do better” smh
I'm not a guitarist I'm a pianist but they shouldn't have made this honestly it's just humiliating. It's not his fault for not having perfect pitch or a photographic memory.
As a fellow guitarist, I dont think we as a hole are toxic but some ppl are he definently isnt the best but he did okay and ppl can play by ear it just takes practice he needs more time
@@xapplqxapplq9925 that is not by ear there is no reference piece hence he had to remember the pitch of the song unless he had played them before wich clearly is a no.
Man atleast hes doing something, I can't even do this. Id need a whole day to practice
I’d need a month maybe a year possibly 2 yests
why is finn scrunching his nose in frustration/concentration the cutest thing ever...
Ikr 😍
Ima just say it... PLAYING BY EAR IS HARD so idc I’m impressed cause I would never get that close to ANY song
Playing by ear is in fact really hard but the question is why would the backatage of this video put him here to play totally random songs make him look like an idiot for many people like me and before the whole thing say that he is great, well he is but to show that to the viewer you suppose to play him these songs before the takes/tries, its playing from ear and memory not even looking at the notes ever before, that sucks
Ok, now Im amazed... How can a seventeen-year-old boy play so many old movies'songs by heart... Who taught him to appreciate classics... I find it very important in young boys and girls to know their heritage and to have good role models... Congratulations, Finn, keep up good job.
Imagine having a fandom that only cares about your hair.
some of them only stan him because of his looks :/
Sequoia Francis IKR
reddie i love his whole personality
Bruh
this post was made by the get a life clan
Why does he is slowly transforming into winona
lol wtfff
😂
Hahaha
lmfao fr
Lol wtf
It pains me to see a guitarist go through this, he obviously doesn't know alot of these and he's trying to play it from ear. He's not bad, just not good enough to do this.
Eric Silva I knowwww! It’s so hard to play something from memory without previously knowing the chords. It’s a certain level skill that I have yet mastered
Thats not really the thing when someone gives you a some cords to play without you figuring them out first you can’t play them it’s how all guitarists are you can’t just go and play something without knowing anything about its cords or notes even people who write there own music half to learn it before playing it
I couldn't recreate these themes on my guitar either. I could however, if I listened to them a sec before I attempted.
Anyway, in my own experience, it's very hard to recreate music just from off the top of my head. Maybe if they actually played snippets of the themes he might have had a better chance?
facts brah
Lily Symons its also helps if you have a level of perfect pitch
Bruh when he did the stranger theme song
Y'all saying this was hard to watch: imagine trying to play a bunch of songs that you don't know/remember. It'd take me good 5min at least for each song, and even still they wouldn't sound exactly right.
Bold move, young man
Why would the video be made tho?
@@chemicalcabbage bc it's a challenge. Challenges aren't supposed to be easy. What's bothering is people, most likely musicians, complaining about him as if they'd do better
That’s why it’s hard to watch, I feel his pain.
Any experienced guitarist can do this with ease dawg... it’s annoying because he is so famous yet bad at guitar
@@cheems1233 What? Do you even know who he is? He isn't experienced yes, but he is very familiar with it, and has his own band! I listen to it a lot!
bro if y'all got nothing nice to say then jus don't 🤦♀️
yellowismyfavoritecolor you clearly don’t seem like you play guitar.
That’s completely fine, but the complaints would make more sense if you did. Part of being a guitarist is the ego, but still a pretty fair point
@@olisonic6577 hi there! I actually play guitar fyi lol. I get them, it's just that why make such a big deal abt it lmao. I get them soo much. Like I said there's no really a reason to make this such a big deal cause not all of us can just play a song in a guitar just by ear ON the spot even. Imagine the pressure and how little time finn got to think about the notes he had to play.
@@ulala227 ok cool
Most of the comments seem to feel bad. They’re don’t seem to be hating on him.
TITANIC
“the flute version” EYE-
omg why did my eyes start watering when he did the opening for stranger things 🥺🙈 idk why it was like 8 seconds but it was so perfect omg 🤣😌😌👍👌
The Stranger Things and the Breakfast Club , he knows it by heart.
[EDIT] Like he plays it a lot :D
The Stranger Things was so on point
Ur a wizard Harry it’s just an arpeggio so, it’s pretty simple
Ur a wizard Harry nah. He needed to play it in c minor not c major.
Althea Told Me wrong, the key is in e minor but the first chord is an cmaj7
@@altheatoldme5003 It sounded good to me 😂
The fact that he played all the songs that was given to him. WOWWWWW
that’s literally so impressive, i can’t believe people expect him to play every single one of them by heart..like he’s not a magician
any guitarists here will know exactly how i feel right now.
Malcolm Dee how do you feel. Let me understand 😌
That we would have done a much better job, and you don't get why this guy is so hyped ? Yep, i got you.
@@HappyAppart if he wasn't in stranger things literally no one would give a fuck about calpurnia or his musical ability
Sheonen enenenenenenenen sad truth
@@sheontoms3605 woah woah woah, lets turn down the hate dial a lil bit haha. Cool dude but learn to play before you come on a vid and show yourself to be not that experienced on the guitar. Essentially though yes, i don't understand why this guy is so hyped.
His take on the Terminator, Breakfast Club and Stranger Things themes were on point.
I love how Finn like “you saw it, it’s all good, I tried my best ok not like this is going to be famous” he’s just chill 😂
2:36. This is proof that he is a great guitarist and that he just doesn't know the other songs BY HEART. It's incredibly hard to make up those other songs on guitar, songs that he doesn't know properly. As long as he knows what to sing exactly, and in what tone, it's amazing what he can do.
Example, the Stranger Things intro. Amazing
And 3:36. Again, he knows the song very well on guitar, because that's how he heard it the first time, in the movie. So it's easier.
Ah yes playing a C chord is proof of talent, the next Hendrix is comming guys !!!
Didn't know playing the c chord and a few Barre chords can make you good at guitar dayum I am a professional
@Stuff knowing a c chord arpeggiated doesn’t make a great guitarist
Omg I can relate to him on an ethereal level... I would literally faint or cry if someone asks me to do that
idk what's going on with his hair but I love it
mags his hair are handsome and him too !
Guettat / yes ik that’s why i said i love it
Mullet
@Karina Amadu nuu :
Karina Amadu its not
can everyone just shut tf up about your opinions i think he knows he’s not the best guitarist, this was challenge he didn’t necessarily choose to do.
@@owenanderson8509 Ok, that was rude. And so what if that's true? I pretty sure he knows this, and for you to say he's untalented, have you seen him perform?
This is actually quite impressive I just know how hard that is to play something using memory. Good Job Finn 👏🏻👏🏻
i love finn with my whole heart. i never knew it was possible for someone to look so good with literally any hairstyle. his personality just makes me want to be friends with him and have a conversation for hours. he so cool haha.
finn playing the acoustic guitar gives me 🦋s
He doesn't remember all the movie themes. Let him play His calpurnia songs
He’s in a band called The Aubrey’s
@@emmajones5327 he isn't. He was just in one or two songs
Dugkey no he officially joined the band
He needs to be in guitar lessons. That's the only band he should be playing in.
Dugkey It’s his band. Him and malcom.
God, I feel so bad for him.
Why
@@Lila-nb1vn just read other commands homie
Look he clearly isn't a great guitarist but he's young and he's being asked to play themes he barely remembers for the first time. Don't be an elitist
Bruh Boys he’s great he just can’t make up shit from the top of his head, if he knows the song he’s great
1 0 he’s not great. If you wanna hear great theres a lot of talented young artists out there.
@@SG-go4gu The girl from his band is a great guitarist. He is not. He's mediocre at best. I would know, because I'm around his level.
I feel like you all are under estimating him, 99% of guitarists can't remember play most film scores without sheets.
Most of you guys who are saying he is bad are wrong. I bet you he has a decent chord understanding and writing skills but he hasn't developed the ability to be able to play individual notes from memory without prior practice and listening.
Finn is wonderfully talented, he did a great job with all of these tunes without looking it up!
revella he is mine
literally anyone whos played guitar for 1 week can do what hes doing in the video bro its not that amazing
@@FisTheEvil dude for real
@@FisTheEvil I'm tired of this excuse of a guitar player get such hype when he's been playing for so long
Zavian Garcia SaLtYyY
"its the bad flute version" I died laughing hahahahhaha
He is talented beyond belief
He is a 17 year old juggling an acting career, his own personal film projects, press, his education, home life and various other things than I can’t possibly fathom. All that, as well as finding the time to develop and peruse a love for music must be challenging. He has come a long way, but he has much further to go. Finn is a devoted, hardworking, determined individual, and I commend him for it.
Themistakewasborn no chosen is wayyyybetter singer
Lmao no
its not that hard
you’re delusional, he barely knows any of the themes in the first place and can’t play them on guitar to save his life
Yeahh... did someone ask though
The St theme one he is really talented
rania elrefaie he literally just picked a c chord and then added a pull off at the end that’s it
dig070799 lmao i was gonna say that
Literally just a c chord, the least difficult one.
DUDE doing this is incredibly hard, he did awesome!
Finn’s first interview as 17 and his first day as 17 he’s great at playing the guitar
__kfridnwoddjw ___ I know when I mean his first day I mean the day after
I think they actually shot this interview a while back and then published it after his birthday, cause his hair in this isn't his current hair
hey bish maybe but they might’ve straightened it
__kfridnwoddjw ___ i dont think he was drinking tho he turned 17 right
@@sofiagarcia9400 thats impossible- theyre not long rn
i love how he was so positive during all of this 😭😭 he’s so cool i wanna be like him one day!!
how can he be so good in acting, singing and playing guitar? what kind of sorcery
paula called practice love
how can he look so good AND be so talented
ikr
videostar tutorials ikr
No mine
Guettat / ok-
Ikr🤔
Finn 🤝 being talented at everything
diana lyrics he’s shit 😂😂 I’m 15 and I’m 10 times better than this boy
@@drewy7803 Are you a really famous actor though?
løvely nope and I rate him as an actor but I think people are making such a big deal of him playing guitar when he’s using one note? He’s terrible (but a good actor)
@@drewy7803 no one cares so go away :)
tbh hes not that good man
i think finn is good at everything. he is insanely talented
“Have you heard the terrible recorder version” 😂
It’s kinda impressive how he can remember some songs/soundtracks of these movies :)
a l e x i don’t think he remembers them, I think he just plays it by ear
But he turned The Bodyguard into a sitcom lol
I mean he play awful all the guitarist are cringing SO HARDDD
thank you so much interview magazine
Guitar players are cringing hard right now at those thirsty comments
Well,he is an actor who also plays musical instruments. Nobody has claimed he is the greatest guitarist
@@gokulbalakrishnan7982 I don't think anyone is claiming he's even a guitarist. Just because you carry a wrench doesn't mean you're a plumber.
@@DefThrone he's literally in a band.
Finally nobody can say the dislikes were likes from the upside down😂😂
The dislikes are from these people who watched the video upsidedown and just like it without noticed it
The likes are dislikes from the upside down
Fr tho 😂
I hate everyone that told him to cut his hair.
xoxo talice okay?
Stfu it’s ugly like this
Dude his hair is the same as mine except mine is a little shorter, that's creepy lol 🤪
peepee poopoo it was ugly when it was this long
It's his decision how he wears his hair, he's not a doll and the important thing is that he likes it.
finn wolfhard settling for the bodyguard as a sitcom has made my fucking day 😂🥺😂
the titanic one
Im gonna need a full cover from Finn of the stranger things intro that was incredible
Okay, he's really good with the guitar, I don't think I can ever do that
Ooh the 70's I love his look 😍
I have no idea if he’s actually doing it but god this was still so enjoyable to watch
why is everyone hating on him even if you’re really experienced trying to play random music that you’ve never played off the top of your head isn’t gonna be easy
Finn Wolfhard playing the acoustic guitar is something i live for pls 🥺 like boii give me some lessons idk how to play an instrument sksjsj

The Thirst is real
That was so awesome Finn! I love you so much! You especially did good on the stranger things one! I am going to college and studying guitar right now!
MORE PLEASEEE!😔✌
Every guitarist knows what this feels like being on the spot playing everything from memory and as a guitar player myself this was hard to watch and Finn is a decent guitarist as well and this doesn't really show his skills
Does anyone else know how some of the songs go, but the moment she said them it just flew out of your brain? XD
TALENTTT
Hey people i'm no guitarist but i knw that no one. Absolutely no one deserves all those hate. I get it some of yall are like professional guitarist and stuff but dont u guys think u guys are over doing it? Yeah sure maybe he had a hard time to remember a few songs . I cnt even play guitar but ask me to remember a song that i learnt when i was a child i couldnt even remember the tune. Why u guys even bother looking up this video if all ur gonna do is throw hate at him. Just because his an actor or a musician doesnt mean his not human. His where he is because of his talent . And its funny how people who already succeed in their life getting all the hate but people who are still lifeless just come down to any videos on random guitarist and comment hate on it. Dont be such idiots. If u guys wan to hate on people u dont indirectly message them like comment on their videos. You hate them u tell them straight to their face. Stop the hate its gonna do u good or him . His gonna continue his life leaving all you meaningless jokers behind and u guys are going to keep on watching videos of him performing and u guys are going to continue hating on him. The shame always comes back to u not to him. So please just stop the hate. No one deserves hate not u not me not him not anyone . One of the main reasons to depression is people hating on them so we as civilised human being stop hating to reduce people / artists falling into depression.
You are correct but when you pursue a career that craves attention and people adoring your cringe look and make terrible TV shows people will hate. You know in his mind he is doing such a good job too. And I bet he even has a tiktok account. He's not the best person okay?
Okay but I will never get over how pretty it is when he plays the ST opening like ahhh he’s so soft just let me hug himmmm
me watching this video, laying down, daydreaming while i watch this because hes so amazing and talented: 🥺
Wtf he's actually so good for playing all of this from memory on GUITAR
For everyone saying he can't play, this was just a little quiz thing he did with McKenzie to see if he could remember songs from movies. He can actually play you'll just have to find a real video somewhere😂😂
angel he can play a bit more than that, while i agree he isn’t some guitar rock god he is pretty
good
Well he doesn't have to play a ton of chords. He's in two indie bands and the songs are very calm. He's never really had to learn crazy stuff... maybe he'll get into that when he's older🤷🏻♀️
I would do much better, because I don't know a lot of them even a little!
HIS HAIR 🥺 i love it
he understood the assignment.
my heart 🥺
when i saw breakfast club i went: 😤💗💖💞💗👏💖💞🥰🤟💗❤️💙🤩
Agility Gang Right!!!!!❤️😍
I think he did great for being so young and put on the spot.
this is so iconic
Finn is so perfect
YO HES SO TALENTED LIKE DAMNNN I LOVE HIM
keytlen v: López he is clearly mine
@@guettat4931 hes clearly not a object
keytlen v: López exactly!
Guettat / he’s not urs. he’s his own person.
literally anyone whos played guitar for 1 week can do what hes doing in the video bro its not that amazing
Alternative title: 5 straight minuites of discomfort
He's so talented.❤️
Ely M he alright
Finn playing the Titanic Theme Song is everything!
He did the st theme song so good, holy shit he's talented!!!!!
thats literally holding down a chord and playing straight down...easy af...
@@a.v.d2315 I mean yeah but he did the other ones well too
hey bish: I can play it on the ukulele but not that fast! I agree with you!
hey bish sure 😂😂😂
@@soe1430 its a five note arpeggio. Of course its harder on a 4 string ukulele
He looks so good with long hair, I swear I’m not even lying! 💖
I would just say he's living my dream life.
how god made Finn:
•Perfection
•Cuteness
•Talent
•Attractiveness
•btwwe are youtubers too!♡
He’s like 14 chief
Woodsy he's 17 💀😂😂
Capital G you uncultured wolfie
@@woodsy.2977 he's older than me and I'm 15
No one is perfect, he's not that cute, he is very talented, and the only thing attractive about him is his sense of humor
I can also play songs from memory and it's hella hard on piano I can't imagine how hard it must be on guitar
Good job 👌
omg i really love his hair
Five minutes is like an eternity.😁👏
He is so talented 😍
i love him omg
j s HE IS CLEARLY MINE
Guettat / HES CLEARLY NOT. he’s not an object and you don’t own him
Imagine having to do this on the spot with songs you song dont know
My anxiety would be through the roof
I love his concentration face lmfao
In guitar there's always going to be that one face you make 😂😂
Stranger things theme is basically a switch between c major and c major 7th if anyones wondering
He is beyond talented, i love him so much :)
Kristina Muharremaj im hoping tjats not just from thos vid because he didnt do anything exceptional in this
James Gubbins i mean he did kinda just play multiple songs for memory and can play an instrument as well as be a successful actor at such a young age. ok
Kristina Muharremaj i know but the way he done it was simple if you know a bit about guitar and are not tone deaf
I bet you Finn's gonna go back home and practice playing let it go 😂
This is how I honestly feel whenever they tell me to play a song they want that I don’t even know, but they think I do only because I play guitar. :/
Finn is PURE TALENT 🥺
