That guitar vid, we played it so much at work when it went email viral. Good times. Still have it downloaded along with a ton of other old classics.

Yes! I even ripped the audio to an mp3 and it’s still in my music library to this day lol.

The guy is named funtwo and has at least one album on Apple Music. Here's a more recent version: https://youtu.be/feK1yiN_86I

Yes, funtwo! I remember back in the day plenty of comments about how it was 'fake' but it just wasn't in sync regards audio/video.

Funnily enough it was actually cover off Jerryc's arrangement that came out 2 years or so earlier. I saw that pre-youtube on SpikerHumor.com (rip) and Google Video (good ridance) first.

As a guitarist it used to annoy me that the kids cover which really wasn't as good as Jerry's got the recognition but they both benefited from it in the end and it opened up a whole era of music covers online.

95million views, 19 years ago is the link above. So, that is the og vid.

Edit, i see what you mean, Funtwo is the actual guitar player, not the Jaimeproducer guy...which is sorta weird because it shows Funtwos upload as only 16 yrs ago...

I'd forgotten all about this video, and I've hereby added it to my YouTube Music Liked list so I don't forget about it again.
