Totally. Devin is great and very Canadian. Being a nice person is one of our great Canadian traditions. hehe. I'm both joking and being serious. Devin is a very smart and quirky guy. As much as I admire and appreciate his musical abilities, I would absolutely hate playing in a band with him due to the open tuning thing. I might be able to play bass with him, but my brain doesn't work fast enough to be able to play along with a guitar.

I like Devin, not only is he a gifted musician but he's also a full mad dog too. It would be a hoot playing with him.

this is like 76th time I watch these daddario videos again xD It is easy to get addicted to Devin and his style of talking...super awesome guy.

I love this guy. "I haven't slept in a couple days" Flips tongue around mouth like someone on coke. Love his sense of humor.

"... give you this big crushing 'hey there, I'm a 15 year old rock god standing on the top of mount Vesuvius playing 15 marshal stacks to the gods!' type of sound."

Devin is awesome.. Thank you so much D'addario for doing these interviews!

Hahaha... "penta meaning nine, tonic meaning.... drink" love this guy

I love this guy, his sense of humour is great , KI was amazing and I can't wait for the next one

I love that you can clearly see the editing in 0:54 :D

I wonder if he prepares his jokes from before he has to do interviews or something. The pentatonic joke was pure gold.

I've always got him. That manic intensity that just takes over you. Then you have this quiet almost melancholy introspective time. Deconstruction and Ghost were great polar opposites in that regard.

He's really inspirational. What a cool guy. :D

epic solo in the end - wonderful!

Pentatonic. Penta- meaning five and tonic meaning a type of drink. I love this guy so much.

Great playing great personality.

My favorite scale is the Flyxididilian for sure.

Guy, you are fucking awesome. Great personality.

I love this man.

Penta meaning 9, tonic meaning a type of drink. Devin for president!

This guy is such a genius!!! Awesome :D

I love that he doesn't understand theory, but obviously understands music anyway. I'm a classical musician and my knowledge can be really constricting, but Devin's training is all practical/ear based and you can see how well it works for him

Stevie Salas also doesn't know theory and write some badass tunes, that doesn't matter. But maybe they will never compose such a cool/witty riff as "Norwegian Cowbell" by Paul Gilbert.

He understands general theory. He talks about note names, scales, terms like arpeggios, grace notes and whatnot. Thats all theory.

He understands theory. It's not formal theory, but it's his own understanding of how music works. The knows how chords, scales, intervals work, so that's theory.

legend

Devon is Legendary. Meow if I could find other guitarists that play open B

HAHHAH! at 04:30 he makes so good point about blues scales! :-D

Love him

I love it. "you can point and do the knowing nod..."

He's such a goofball. Gotta love his attitude.

Devin is so genius and cool guy

This guy puts on a hilarious live show

I FUCKING LOVE THIS MAN!!!!

He's effortlessly funny. It's great.

I have one guitar in it and I'm digging it.

flixadiddalian migadigada is probably my favorite scale

Some of the scales he was doing reminded me of Phil Keaggy. I think Devin and Phil would have and interesting jam session.

I think Devin just won the internet for me tonight..this was awesome!

I like it how he emphasises the D# :D

God i love that album. KI

whoa, he's a lot more energetic and happy then I would be if I hadn't slept in a few days.

He's also an incredibile actor! :D

awesome

hahahaha , this guy is so cool . you just know he'd be fun to hang out with

Open tunings, Modal tunings, and cross-note tunings are amazing. Wish more guitarist would use them

@Wheelman2112

I'm a metal guitarist (I play lots of other styles too) in my spare time, and I use open tunings exclusively, almost always open C# or open D. I just understand them so much better than standard or drop tunings, and I find them more conducive to fluid playing, personally. Just my 2 cents.

@mikescanlan4653

I play mostly cross note tunings, which are like open tunings but tuned to a minor chord. I agree, and also play metal and because most metal guitarist use drop tunings, the alternative tunings sound better because you dont hear them all the time.

rambling.. like a rambling man, FUCKING LEGENDARY! this guy is a god, haha =]

It's actually augment triad. There is only one interval between the notes - 4 frets.

@Andragon90 I like the Mydogadagada myself, but that's a good one too.

@kirkhetfieldtrujillo I know. I thought I put "haha" at the end of that... My bad.

@sipinflames Dob 05.05.1972 vancouver Canada so that makes it a yes.

I forgot about the flixadiddly in midadagagada.

ha ha, "you can point and do the knowing nod." lol....i'm just wondering what you need to do as far as setting up the guitar for a low tuning like that? I'm guessing having a tech do it would be the best? I would think the slots in the nut would have to be routed a little more to fit the heavier strings, action would have to be raised at the bridge and I'm wondering about the truss rod?

It's funny how much easier the fingerings for open tuning is for major scale work, but much more difficult for the blues scale.

"The secret's safe..." lmao

I'm curious if Devin start's out a clean jam riff with his devin townsend band like at 4:33 to 4:40

LOL I LOVE THIS GUY

His talent goes beyond playing guitar; I love his sarcasm.

He is hilarious!

@IchigoBto Not a problem. Thanks for apologizing. All the best.

aaaaah... :) fuckin love this man!

I love you you have taught me everything I needed to know about love Kentucky Fried Chicken and aliens

This lad is hilarious

I always play in Flixodidilian Maydagadagada

@imbaguitar and he also called tonic a drink. Pretty safe to say he's being Devin. haha!

haha crackup dude, awesome video.

This man is funny as fuck

4:28 Play it everywhere!

Flixodydllian magayama is my favourite mode of the Godliness Scale.

the best evr

@0:58, the tiny phrase that he plays, is it in any of his songs? It sounds hecka nice.

Did anyone else notice that his first arpeggio is the arpeggio in the intro to "The Mighty Masturbator?"

fuck yeah

you have to love Dev, im lazy and this is the scale i use haha and i cant completly agre with the "i want to jam with my buddies, and not be the one in the island of one " haha anyone who played on this scales could relate .

@escaflowne3 Well, different folks different strokes. Ki totally blew me away. Masterpiece in my oppinion.

Flyxodydlian. That is my new scale from this day on.

@AleksisPelli for the album "ki"

Does anyone know if the little tune he play's at 0:58 is part of a song and what it's called ???

Flixydiddilian midogadagga. Sounds good to me!

I ALWAYS point and do the knowing nod! I am constantly in that state, especially when I look at myself in the mirror! *slaps knee*

i like this clean tone. its really nice. is devin canadian?

awesome. im canadian too. i thought he sounded like a BCer. i'm from toronto.

what size gauge strings do you use? and would you recommend a baritone guitar for that kind of tuning?

oni one word for this guy...as a teacher...KOOLNESS ,,,....thumps up if u think so too>>

Oh i love this fucker so much....

I think we can infer from the latter that he was also joking about the former. Devin of all people would be familiar with the pentatonic scale. He could also possibly be referring to the amount of notes you actually play, not only the notes that exist in the scale not counting repeats on octaves (even though that's more than 9, it's something like 13) I'm going to go with the first.

@ 0:34 - "aboot" (Canadian pronounciation of about haha)

I'd pay a lot of money to see him and Bill Bailey do a musical comedy show.

this guy is piss funny

dude, he is hilarious

haha this is badass

and that's why i'm ramblin....like a ramblin man.
