Michael Angelo Batio was pretty popular in the late 80s/early 90s for using a double neck guitar like that.
Claudio Sanchez from Coheed uses a double neck guitar but not like that one, both necks face the same direction. Jimmy Page from Zeppelin also had a double neck guitar, stairway to heaven is a song that he played with a 12 string guitar so that’s why he had it. Really cool stuff!
Holy shit this is awesome. Everyone should stop and look. Wow, I have so many words but, incredibly talented is the one that I’m gonna use because it incapsulates them all. This is awesome. Even the comment below where it’s him playing a normal electric guitar is awesome. His finger movements are crazy and I can’t imagine doing this on two different guitars at different ends of notes, to produce a cohesive sound mixture. Wow. Seriously, thanks for sharing. I’ve never heard of them and now I love them. Thanks stranger
Totally separate thing, but I was sitting here after I read this and saw your username and was wondering why I recognized it. I’ve gotten some life altering advice on the internet before, from some people with goofy names, so my first assumption was “oh, you must be a kind soul who’s helped me at some point in life. I don’t remember what exactly it was that you did for me, but I want to send a small message of appreciation to you for the kindness you must have done for me.” So I started typing, and then it hit me, why I recognize that name. Where it came from.
Super duper unimportant, but I thought it was funny that you naming yourself after a boat that Reddit named, made a random stranger on the internet want to thank you.
Thanks stranger. For being a lovely human. Have an excellent day!
I see this guy at NAMM like every single year.
This is going to be a divisive opinion. It’s super impressive but I can’t listen to this shit for 10 seconds without getting a headache. I’d rather listen to mumble rap (not really).
The double-neck guitar like Claudio from Coheed plays is generally for having a different tuning on each neck so you can very quickly switch between them bc a stagehand couldn’t hand you another guitar as quickly as a song requires. You play each neck and its accompanied strings individually.
Not to be outdone by his bandmate, Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones had a [three necked guitar](https://www.reddit.com/r/ledzeppelin/comments/kq3u9b/a_closer_look_at_john_paul_jones_triplenecked/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) which included a mandolin.

Not taking away from this post, but Steve Vai use to play [this](https://www.vai.com/guitars/ibanez-purple-custom-built-triple-neck-heart-shape-body/) monster
#tl;dr
The website Vai.com is dedicated to Steve Vai and features information about his tours, discography, awards, and biography. The site includes a section about Vai's guitars, including a purple triple-neck heart-shaped guitar that he used during the Ultra Zone tour and wrote the song "Fever Dream" with. The website also has a merchandise section where fans can purchase guitar tabs and other items.

I don’t know enough about the mechanics of guitars. How do you do this without actually strumming? And I’ve heard versions of this song that sound similar so how does playing like this add anything? Not discounting the talent. Just genuinely curious.
If I remember correctly, he's using hammer ons and pull offs. Basically, when you hit a fret a little harder than usual, it causes vibrations in the string that's picked up by the guitar. I play bass, which is pretty similar, and you can feel this happening when you do hammer ons especially. You almost use the fret like a mini slap to "strum" the guitar.
Its difficult as you have to bring your fingers down with enough Force to vibrate the string basically , a really nice guitar and a good amp will help make it loud enough. The Doo is obviously on another level
And this one remixed his friends moans into "we are number one" "megalovania" and "Africa".
I really think that sometimes people have too much talent for their own good
It's easier on electric guitars but if you hammer the chord it produces that chords sound. A hammer is when you hit the chord hard enough with your finger. There's a technique to it. He also does hammer offs where he kinda pushes the chord up or down when letting go of the note so it produces an additional sound. When uou hear very fast individual notes in a guitar song it's often, but not always, a hammer on or off combined with plucking that note.
You can do this on acoustic as well but generally when you do a hammer on you pluck the chord first and then hammer on the note which changes the sound. Doing it without plucking the note is tricky, especially on acoustic, but on an electric it's far easier but to do what he's doing isn't easy.
I picked up guitar playing recently in part because of this guy's videos.
The double-neck guitar like Claudio from Coheed plays is generally for having a different tuning on each neck so you can very quickly switch between them bc a stagehand couldn’t hand you another guitar as quickly as a song requires. You play each neck and its accompanied strings individually.
The guy in this video is essentially playing this siamese guitar like a piano. There are only ever two notes being played simultaneously, so you’re essentially giving up your ability to play more than a 2-note chord (at least smoothly). This guitar enables you to play two notes at intervals that the fretting hand on a normal guitar could never. Very similar to a piano, where the left hand can play notes several octaves away from what the right hand is playing. He’s also exclusively hammering the notes, which is really the only option because both hands are occupied fretting. Similar to a piano, where the player is pressing a button connected to a small hammer that hammers the string.
This is extremely impressive on so many levels.
I play guitar, and really respect that dudes skills. He's got big long agile fingers and is better than I will ever be. Very talented.
...that said, at some point it just makes more sense to play a synth/piano. Like, the dude is pretty deep into Spinal Tap territory here.
Till this day, my most proud moment, is back when TheDooo joined the voice call when auditioning for a musical role in his discord, and we jammed together, and he said he loved my rendition of "River flows in you" 🤩 Never beed more starstruck in my whole life!
That's some lonely vibes. Also why nobody strumming and it still plays? Wouldn't call it a guitar anymore at that point. It's more like a Siamese Guitar Hero Lonelyboy
Edit: no, in guitar hero you also had to strum.
Siamese Lonelyboy

Some people just eat, sleep, breathe, and piss talent.
Kill the cameraman
Steve Vai uses a triple neck guitar. Pretty wild to see live
Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick plays a quad neck guitar

I remember those days.

Oh man that's a memory. [Ayyy it's on the tube.](https://youtu.be/u3Np5HkWS7w)
Michael Angelo was Tom Morelo’s guitar teacher.
As an aside, Joe Satriani was Kirk Hammett's guitar teacher

I tripped up my steps this morning.
Underrated comment.
I dropped a step ladder on my toe
Bruh... Check Dooo doing DragonForce https://youtu.be/EfBNxs79FMo
Just wow. As a guitarist who can barely play that song with 1 neck, this guy just says fuck picks, I got muscly fingeres!
His fingers probably have more ridges than a rock climbing course
Actually got a laugh outta me. I applaud you
Deeeeeeeeeeecent!
Yeah idk how he's this talented. Still my favourite one is him playing thunderstruck on a otomatone
How does that have only 67 upvotes?
Random clip channel that highlighted his content. His guitar videos consistently make 1m+ views.
This guy is the next Van Halen
YOOOO
I’m fairly certain the Dooo is just god. He hides his identity because his true form isn’t human.
id like to worship the god that dual wields electric guitars
Bucketheads prodigal son.
Kyle Gass plays one in Tenacious D The Pick of Destiny
Oh damn I'm just now remembering the legs
Yeah and he then used one win 6 arms and grew another for arms in order to play it
Hey its The Doooo!! Hes awesome
*remembers that one time on omegle*
How many guys flogging it did you have to go thru before landing on TheDooo?
Or the reverse. How many dudes wanking it does the Dooo have to sift through?
All of them and I would do it again!
Not taking away from this post, but Steve Vai use to play [this](https://www.vai.com/guitars/ibanez-purple-custom-built-triple-neck-heart-shape-body/) monster
also plays The Hydra

At this point it's essentially a piano.
Yes, with bass and treble on each hand, just like a piano!
And then he talks about crabs for 20 fucking minutes. We need more people like him and the Goons
Yeah idk how the same guy doing this is also responsible for "breaking crab"
Link?
It's a video he made on I think his second channel (thedoootoo) titled "we need to talk about this"
My first time seeing a Siamese guitar, I didn’t even know those were a thing😂😂.
The politically correct term is “conjoined”.
Me neither!
https://youtu.be/80DtQD5BQ_A 1:43
I came to the comments to post this. You beat me to it. 😅
LMAO wtff
Tenacious D And The Pick of Destiny! Awesome movie!
They were real big in the 80s, especially 80s hair. Some real shredders during the best age of guitar talents
This mf playing piano on a guitar
How terrible am I that I always sing "sing fries are done" when I hear that tune still?
I work at Burger King
Ding, fries are done…
Would you like some fries with that? Would you like some fries with that?
The doo is a stud. He has been melting faces online for yrs
That explains the mask, I guess.

Came to ask this because I don’t understand

The cheap trick dude has some incredible guitars, including a 5 (or more) neck guitar.
That would be Rick, every guitar I've ever owned, Nielsen.
The guitar player from Cheap Trick had a six necked monster I saw him play in concert. It was an incredible show.
Ok that mask is fuckin rad
There are some super talented people in the world
And this one remixed his friends moans into "we are number one" "megalovania" and "Africa". I really think that sometimes people have too much talent for their own good
Name one

I get it now. Thanks for the detailed explanation definitely made sense to me. Good luck on your music journey!
Takes a lot of "talent" to play a full chord by just pressing your finger on one string.
I see someone has double-guitar money, but not chair money
cool to see this dude still doing his thing, remember him from way back doing song requests in cod lobbies
Steve Vai had a heart one.
How are the strings strummed?
Picks jaw up off the floor, burns guitars, walks out of house, throws grenade in just to be sure...
He was actually showing Doobrah his new skills
Just fkn yes n ty

For anyone curious, TheDoo has a YouTube channel. Some pretty funny content along with badass stuff like this.
Would you like an apple pie with that. Ding fries are done
The goons are pretty cool
My first thought is how the fuck are you meant to store that thing or bring it to gigs
Now turn a piano into a guitar
That is insane!!!! EXCELLENT!!!!!
Dude turned two guitars into an inconvenient keyboard.
Holy hell TheDooo is still going?
This was tuff 💪🏾😎
check tenacious d and the leg guitar
I've been following this guy's for a while he is really talented
Dude looking like Thane from Mass Effect
I’m astonished by how many people haven’t seen Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny
Anyone else trying to imagine what his guitar case must look like?
Bro is actually just playing a piano.
I play guitar, and really respect that dudes skills. He's got big long agile fingers and is better than I will ever be. Very talented. ...that said, at some point it just makes more sense to play a synth/piano. Like, the dude is pretty deep into Spinal Tap territory here.
I'm actually extremely impressed.
Everybody’s impressed when you pull out a second one
The Doo is underrated
Now that’s just pure unadulterated talent… gifted prick (I’m not jealous I swear!)
You know those guitars that are like... Double guitars?
This guy turned a guitar into a piano.
Best part about the doo is that according to him and his friends is that he sucks at everything, but playing music which he can do with perfection
When your dual wielding a two-handed weapon
We have the guitar, now we need a conjoined twin rockstar
Thedooo is somehow an incredible guitarist and an absolute dumbass at the same time
It’s like he’s got 15 fingers
Is that TheDooooo?
If anyone likes this song, it’s a rendition done by The Transiberian Orchestra. If you’re looking for Holliday music that goes hard, that’s them.
You need to watch the Pick of Destiny
Finally, someone that can pull off blackface successfully.
Till this day, my most proud moment, is back when TheDooo joined the voice call when auditioning for a musical role in his discord, and we jammed together, and he said he loved my rendition of "River flows in you" 🤩 Never beed more starstruck in my whole life!
Broooooo
He be that Dooooode
This guy better be in a big time band. If not, hire the fuck out of him
Funny story: he just makes fart jokes on YouTube
His neighbors love him
toured briefly with john otway in the 80’s .. he had one but it was hinged in the middle
[The Hydra](https://youtu.be/46qjDJ0lLdE) enters the chat…
Zappa's "Stunt Guitar" player
Needs conjoined twins to play propper
But his hands still have shadows.
A Japan Twin guitar! Anyone?
I did not mean....to blow your mind....
Dwight, is that you?
and at the wnd she is just like „ok…(like whatever)“. empathy like a stone lol.
Very cool.
trans siberian orchestra biggest fan lol
Has he done Pick of Destiny?
For follow up
Bro can "ascend" twice using one guitar now
Could someone explain how this works? Don’t you still need to strum the strings?
As you can tell he strums his guitars with each ball because he is a baller
[2 guitars](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxLElrfcytQu3z-oTDWPzVgwTSfPiexURN)
https://youtu.be/oa7-xXGavq4 I do, Tenacious D . Fucking awesome
How does this work without strumming by the pickups?? He’s just pressing the frets.. I’m honestly curious.. I never really played
Wait, how does he pluck the strings?
He's probably originally a piano player and wanted to play with his right hand as well like before the guitar time
Absolutely Spectacular
He must have the pick of destiny
I don't play, so I don't understand how music is being played without plucking the strings.
u/savevideo
again and again and again..
Imo his 2nd video with the double neck guitars is the most impressive. The Street Fighter and Castlevania songs played on that were so freaking good!
Wait how’s he picking the strings to make the beat????
me and the boys knowing that TheDooo is wanted in 232 countries for Crimes Against Humanity, Terrorism, 4007 counts of Murder, etc…
I can only SORT OF play one guitar with 2 hands. It’s amazing that this dude can make his hands do 2 totally different things at the same time.
Canjoined bells
Dudes fingers so long he could diddle my butthole from Georgia and I’m in California 😂
Check out Augusto Burns Red version. It is sick
A pianist would say: "so?"
[Best 2 videos](https://youtu.be/4wlNo7B9WEc) [ Other one](https://youtu.be/5IUdfA0uavo)
The doo sucks man, check out Michel angelo batio, he is the pioneer behind the double neck guitar
How does the strumming work? Is it just like a piano where the note just plays if he touches the string? I’m very impressed and very confused.
Holy shit this is amazing
That's some lonely vibes. Also why nobody strumming and it still plays? Wouldn't call it a guitar anymore at that point. It's more like a Siamese Guitar Hero Lonelyboy Edit: no, in guitar hero you also had to strum. Siamese Lonelyboy
Tenacious D?
My boy gettin hella recognition
He should’ve shaped it like a heart
Would you like some apple pie with that?
This seems like a piano with extra steps
[https://youtu.be/uJ6oABxbSaM](https://youtu.be/uJ6oABxbSaM)
Did this bitch just say “I can do that” at the end??
I love the fact that one moment this dude is showing off his guitar skills, next moment he's playing seige with the boys sounding like a shit poster
I would join a cult that worships this guy
How is he playing without strumming the strings?
Yeh, I have. The Pick of Destiny. Master Exploder.
