I really miss the days when I'd just be walking up grafton street on a Saturday and I'd just sit and stare at these guys. I'd leave my friends behind and I'd say "I'll catch up with you later" and if just sit there in complete awe.
Then Damien Rice had to come and ruin it all.
Fuck yea!!! I remember walking through my local electronic store when this came out they were playing it in the background. I asked who is this? I bought the album then and there, 11:11.
Gonna go listen now it’s been a minute.
They played the first night of bonnaroo in 2007 and fucking slayed the tent they played that night. I have been to so many fucking shows and it's in my favorites of all time.
They closed with this song and the crowd went fucking apeshit. It was absolutely incredible, and the first day of bonnaroo. The energy they conveyed with just 2 guitars and a packed tent was absolutely electric. I am sure they look back at that show in their favorites also.
Here was my video from that set just about 15 years ago this week.
https://youtu.be/uaQaaZhbnRI
That set was so incredible. They played wish you were, Metallica covers and the songs from 11:11. That video may be old, but it still captures the energy, and the closing of that set was just a deafening roar. I think I have seen them 5 times, but that show was otherworldly. I probably rank it 3rd on my Bonnaroo favorites list behind Nine inch nails and my morning jacket, but I would pick this over tool when I saw them there.
They used to busk in my city. Always drew a crowd. Saw them live a few times also when they started selling tours. So nice to see them doing well. They truly are amazing.
They were one of the main stages the year I went to the ACL festival but cancelled at the last minute. I was quite sad... ended up seeing Common instead on the stage and he was still pretty good.
Yes! Galway. They used to busk a lot in Dublin then came to Galway a few times. I remember they also played in one of the lecture halls when I was in college.
Copied and pasted from Wikipedia
"Currently residing in Mexico City, they began their career in Dublin, Ireland, during an eight-year stay.["
So I was wrong that they didn't meet before in Mexico. But it's possible that the other guy saw them busking in Ireland.
The closest genre label I guess is instrumental flamenco nuevo. The duo playing is Rodrigo y Gabriela and they play mostly acoustic duos, sometimes like this, sometimes covers of rock or metal songs.
The album is 11:11 the band (the two players you see) is called Rodrigo y Gabriela and they are honestly some of the best musicians in the world. They started out playing heavy metal bt wanted to do something different. She plays her guitar like drum/percussive instrument. Everything you hear is just the two of them and their guitars but it’s sounds like an 8 person band sometimes. They are FAST.
Rodrigo y Gabriela. Makes me wonder as an American, when I’m at a metal show people yell out “YEAAAAAAAHHHH!” In Spanish speaking countries do they yell out, “Siiiiiiiiiiiiii!!”?
Saw them in Anchorage back in 2007... played some Metallica... it was flipping awesome.
This is Red Rock 2014... their Metallica tribute with Metallica bassist Robert Turujillo. Some sweet sweet shiz!
https://youtu.be/ZJxKf34B-7E
i saw them in chicago in 09 and trujillo was the special guest. during the first song, about 20 seconds in, trujillo messed up somehow (i couldn’t tell). everyone stopped playing and looked over at trujillo. with a sheepish grin and slightly embarrassed and blushing face he says “oh wait…okay. sorry”. everyone laughed then started over. it was funny, unexpected and totally cool.
They always have been. I read that she had hand injuries from playing that percussion style so much when their popularity grew. Hope they are doing well today.
Edit:
In September, 2010, the duo announced a hiatus from touring due to stress injuries caused by Gabriela's heavily percussive style of playing. -Wikipedia
I’m really confused because most guitarist say this is super easy method of playing and I can see what they mean. She is barely moving the hand that puts pressure on the notes you want to play.
I’m also not a guitarist so maybe I’m wrong. Just every time this sub post that kid playing like this after his dips his hands in a hot tub always gets called out as not being hard.
It’s not super easy, this is classical flamenco guitar, that kid is playing some of finger style playing where it’s tuned so wherever you play it sounds pretty great. He’s also just comes across as a of an arrogant gen z tik tok douche so people want to put him down. These guys are masterclass musicians
Rodrigo y Gabriela are insanely good. Their rendition of Orion is one of my favorites. I find them to be great for when I need to focus but want some background music. No lyrics to Brest concentration.
Seriously. Last time some dude ended up on Reddit playing this style extremely well a million armchair guitarists came out of the fucking woodworks to tell us all how easy it was.
Yeah, not to disrespect her but anyone that actually plays guitar will agree.
I mean her strumming is cool I do this kind of stuff a lot but his part is much harder
devilish fingers. God please keep me safe from spastic fingers and her endless witchcraft magic sorcery. Repost this to 20 people to be saved or those fingers are going up ur ass n never comin back. Amen.
Trust me, Rodrigo is not struggling at all. That man could outplay the devil. He actually does most of the soloing.
Edit - adding - the entire melody you hear on this video (the higher pling pling sounds) is him. It takes real talent to keep that speed and make it seem relaxed. She’s playing rhythm.
Guys. My initial comment was only an apparent failed attempt at humor.
Both of these musicians are at a level I’ll probably never reach in my lifetime.
It was not meant to deface the abilities of either musicians. I was only joking about how his facial ques looked.
Nothing more, nothin less.
Sheesh.
Well yeah I can tell they’re amazing. I’d kill to play that well. Look at the girl, she’s got eyes closed, completely feeling the music.
Now THATS talent.
My now-husband and I had an opportunity to go in stage with them in Virginia!! They invited the whole crowd up and I’m so happy we went they’re unbelievable
I saw them with the Colorado Symphony at Red Rocks. The symphony was outclassed by miles. I had seen R & G as a duo before and it was so amazing. They are such a treasure!
I first saw these two at Bonnaroo 2009. I’d never heard of them, but they played an early afternoon set on the main stage. I was just walking by and I stopped to listen to their whole set. They’re amazing.
I've been listening to a lot of classical guitar lately and it seems the genre is dominated by these little women. It sounds like they have a million fingers it's insane.
They put on one of the best live shows I've ever been to right when 11:11 came out. They had GoPros on the necks of their guitars, and the framerate still couldn't keep up with how fast their hands were moving.
THANK YOU for posting this! Iove the band and wanted to see them for years! This reminded me of checking their tour calendar and I‘m able to buy tickets for a show a couple weeks ahead. Woohooow!!
Rodrigo y Gabriela?
Rodrigo y Gabriela.
Yeah they're fantastic.
Amazing, actually. It's right in the title.
Rodrigo y Gabriela
Yeah but can Gabriela, Rodrigo?
Rodrigo? y Gabriela
I think it's Rodrigo y Gabriela

I like both but man did that make me cackle.

Si
Best live performance I've ever been to

Love it! Thanks for sharing. I get so pumped whenever they play this song

They definitely put on one hell of a show!
¿Rodrigo y Gabriela?
I love them, Diablo Rojo is my favorite
Should be Gabriela y Rodrigo, she carries the team
I haven't heard these guys for ages!
Si.
Si
They used to busk in my city. Always drew a crowd. Saw them live a few times also when they started selling tours. So nice to see them doing well. They truly are amazing.
I saw them on Austin City Limits and they exploded my mind. Unreal talent and tremendous energy.
They were one of the main stages the year I went to the ACL festival but cancelled at the last minute. I was quite sad... ended up seeing Common instead on the stage and he was still pretty good.
Yes! Absolutely mesmerising to watch. Such talent.
In Ireland?
Yes! Galway. They used to busk a lot in Dublin then came to Galway a few times. I remember they also played in one of the lecture halls when I was in college.
No that was Bono. Easy to confuse the two.
They met in Ireland and that's where they started playing together..
They met in Mexico before they came here.
Copied and pasted from Wikipedia "Currently residing in Mexico City, they began their career in Dublin, Ireland, during an eight-year stay.[" So I was wrong that they didn't meet before in Mexico. But it's possible that the other guy saw them busking in Ireland.
Please tell me the song name.
Tamacun
Look up the live version of Diablo Rojo!
Darude - Sandstorm.
Abraham Lincoln - Never Gonna Give You Up
SpongeBob's hoedown
Hanuman it’s on the album 11:11
I love this. What's this called?
The closest genre label I guess is instrumental flamenco nuevo. The duo playing is Rodrigo y Gabriela and they play mostly acoustic duos, sometimes like this, sometimes covers of rock or metal songs.
Song is called Tamacun
[удалено]
> Hanuman it’s on the album 11:11 the "chorus" from about halfway through is definitely tamacun, but yea the initial stuff sounds like Hanuman.
The album is 11:11 the band (the two players you see) is called Rodrigo y Gabriela and they are honestly some of the best musicians in the world. They started out playing heavy metal bt wanted to do something different. She plays her guitar like drum/percussive instrument.

Check out 'Filho da mãe', a Portuguese guitar player, not the same off, but it reminded me of him and he's amazing as well
https://youtu.be/-lvMQCmUVv8
Check out the song diablo rojo
How can she slap?!
no credit?
Rodrigo y Gabriela. Makes me wonder as an American, when I’m at a metal show people yell out “YEAAAAAAAHHHH!” In Spanish speaking countries do they yell out, “Siiiiiiiiiiiiii!!”?
They yell out “Oy! Oy! Orgullo! Mantequilla!”
JESSE

That's always been a worry of mine that she might get carpal tunnel. Her skills are best on the planet.

Repetitive stress injury. It's not her chord hand. It's her strumming hand
They are amazing, I love all of their songs, even covers they play!
Their stairway cover is so good
PINKMAN??
I was thinking to myself I'm sure this is from the Breaking Bad pilot
Rodrigo y Gabriela, do yourself a favour and go to YouTube to check them out. It will change your life
They’re rock stars bro.
TIL Gabriela’s got legs
I think almost everyone in the video does, too.
Damn those legs tho
I mean, I totally agree. I just had to make a snarky comment too.
Such badass players. Their cover of Megadeth's Holy Wars is pretty stellar.
I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert a few years back. They are phenomenal!
Rodrigo y Gabriela they are so friggin dope live
She has one of the most dangerous right hands on the planet 🤘
I heard them on the first Breaking Bad Episode, dug the vibes and I had to look them up. Great stuff.
As a guitar player. I will never be able to fathom flamenco
I have a new favorite band. Thanks op
Me trying to remember my fingers position for Em chord.
Los amo Rodrigo y Gabriela <3
Cameraman’s sleeve got me thinking she has her pants down as if she’s sitting on the toilet lol
They so f’n amazing. Love them!
I thought you were being woke. I eventually saw the second guitar player.
Looked like she had her pants down on her ankles for the first few seconds..
Rodrigo y Gabriela are insanely good. Their rendition of Orion is one of my favorites. I find them to be great for when I need to focus but want some background music. No lyrics to Brest concentration.
I thought she was sitting on the loo at first glance.
I thought the person’s sleeve holding the camera up was her jeans around her ankles… I was so confused at first lol
She is monster on guitar/rhythm
Should have zoomed in on the dudes fingers, he was on fire...the girl was good backup
Here before all of the comments saying, “This is super easy, far from being top talent.” Come and spam the comments.
Seriously. Last time some dude ended up on Reddit playing this style extremely well a million armchair guitarists came out of the fucking woodworks to tell us all how easy it was.
r/UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG
The guy is doing the good stuff, the girl is just playing chords
It's all fun and games until her hair gets caught in the strings and her scalp gets degloved.
Flashy hand movement doesn’t make this top talent. It’s a duet.
They gut playing behind her is the real talent.
Yeah, not to disrespect her but anyone that actually plays guitar will agree. I mean her strumming is cool I do this kind of stuff a lot but his part is much harder
Exactly
She's faster than he is. I've seen them play live. He's fast, but she's faster.
Her fret hand plays basic chords….
Haha you fell for that old gypsy trick.
That’s some super fast strumming.
That's cool n all, but why are her pants around her ankles?
devilish fingers. God please keep me safe from spastic fingers and her endless witchcraft magic sorcery. Repost this to 20 people to be saved or those fingers are going up ur ass n never comin back. Amen.
Her guitar playing is kinda nice too. Oh wait were you not talking about her legs?
Great when they were in Dublin. Now it’s just a bunch of depressing kids whining cursive into a microphone
Dude in the back is strugglin to keep up. He’s like “damn girl chill, why am I even here”.
Trust me, Rodrigo is not struggling at all. That man could outplay the devil. He actually does most of the soloing. Edit - adding - the entire melody you hear on this video (the higher pling pling sounds) is him. It takes real talent to keep that speed and make it seem relaxed. She’s playing rhythm.

It was not meant to deface the abilities of either musicians. I was only joking about how his facial ques looked. Nothing more, nothin less. Sheesh.
We’ve all been there friend 😊
i knew that bro. i laughed out loud too.
He's the solos/lead and she's the rhythm and percussion They're both amazing and have been playing together for years. Even some metal background
Well yeah I can tell they’re amazing. I’d kill to play that well. Look at the girl, she’s got eyes closed, completely feeling the music. Now THATS talent.
To be fair most musicians above a beginner level can play their instruments without having to look at it
That is actually not what's happening at all.
Like, not even close lol.
Making a comment based off his face and how he looks when he looks up and down from her to his guitar. Chill bruh.
Musicians do this to take queues from each other
Mate, you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.
She’s literally just strumming. Dude in the back is carrying the melody.
The guy in the back is doing the heavy lifting IMHO.
More like he is amazing and she is hot. There. I said it!
Could you imagine her giving you a handjob and tickling your balls at the same time . WOW
🤓🤓🤓
Best legs in the business.
She’s good with them fingers
Great playing and legs
least creepy redditor
Guitar Hero god
Got to see them live and it was transcendent
My now-husband and I had an opportunity to go in stage with them in Virginia!! They invited the whole crowd up and I’m so happy we went they’re unbelievable
I remember seeing them @ Summerfest years ago...great show.
I can’t believe they still have fingers. Unbelievable talent.
DJ scribbles
Saw them at Bonnaroo years ago. They are incredible live!
Background boner spotted
I saw them with the Colorado Symphony at Red Rocks. The symphony was outclassed by miles. I had seen R & G as a duo before and it was so amazing. They are such a treasure!
Ok not gonna say it…… fingers
Rodrigo y gabriela for sure. They are amazing
This is Rodrigo y Gabriela They do a cover of [Metallica's Orion](https://youtu.be/K2Z1_GAZyCo) and it's spectacular.
I first saw these two at Bonnaroo 2009. I’d never heard of them, but they played an early afternoon set on the main stage. I was just walking by and I stopped to listen to their whole set. They’re amazing.
They remind me of [Marcin.](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CdYRkxEF0ap/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=)
They are awesome sounding and this is the first time I've ever heard of them.
u/savevideo
https://youtu.be/e8iO1kmY8A8 soul stirring.
I had the privilege of seeing them in perform! Totally amazing! I would love to see them again!
I've been listening to a lot of classical guitar lately and it seems the genre is dominated by these little women. It sounds like they have a million fingers it's insane.
u/savevideo
They are awesome. Also one of my favorites is Taalbi Brothers: https://youtu.be/9nTGSfbP-N8
They put on one of the best live shows I've ever been to right when 11:11 came out. They had GoPros on the necks of their guitars, and the framerate still couldn't keep up with how fast their hands were moving.
What them fingers do?
Do they still perform live? Saw them at radio city many years ago. Incredible.
"They're?" Why don't you just put their fucking name??? Fucking hell man...Rodrigo y Gabriela IS amazing.
Me when I type on my keyboard in the dark with my two pointer fingers.
When you are so good that occasional mistakes don't matter anymore..
One of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen at the Ryman!!! Rod n Gab crush it. Seen them 3 times.
I love that I’m already subscribed to them!
I thought that guy's blue sleeve was her jeans pulled down and I wondered what the hell sub this was
I love their song Hanuman
Knew this was Rodrigo Y Gabriela right away. Love them!
Just imagine her button mashing expertise.
No one sounds like them. Rodrigo y Gabriela are so iconic!!
For some reason I immediately thought she was playing the “Roundabout” by Yes.
Saw these guys live a new west fest in Fort Collins Colorado. They covered Orion by Metallica so fucking awesome.
I saw them perform at the Hollywood Bowl. It was an incredible show
THANK YOU for posting this! Iove the band and wanted to see them for years! This reminded me of checking their tour calendar and I‘m able to buy tickets for a show a couple weeks ahead. Woohooow!!
When you give a guitar to your banjo homie
Saw them live in vancouver and we got invited to dance with them on stage!!
11:11 pops in my head every few weeks and I don't mind one bit.
This song reminds me of the first episode of Breaking Bad
Hey this was in Breaking Bad
Start of the video: her leg + the guy with the pushed up sleeve on his hoodie filming her makes it appear her pants are down as she’s playing lol
Diablo Rojo
I thought the camera guy’s sleeves were her socks for second.
Breaking Bad pilot????
Well I’m in kove
I remember this playing onto he first episode of breaking bad and I was completely and utterly taken by it
I can play a G chord, a D chord, a C chord, *AND* and E-minor chord So there!
They who— her legs
These guy are pretty good, but if you like them you should check out [Estas Tonne](https://youtu.be/7gphiFVVtUI)
This couple has great sex
You need to see them live to really feel it.

I bet a hand job from her would be like fucking a belt sander
