True.
Plus I think Jerry C plays it better, it has more feeling. Funtwo is just that, Lucky, Nothing else. |

Well, you gotta grab a moment, and on YT the most annoying clip can become the most popular one. Also, a great idea, can turn up great, and popular as well. There are no strict rules I guess

OK...
I have a theory, Which I've wondered about for the longest time. Well, when you go to Google and type "Guitar" Guess what shows up in the results? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=G...mp;aq=f&oq= Thats right Funtwo's Famous clip. Same thing with Youtube. Out of Millions of Videos of guitars, Funtwo gets put right at number 1. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer..._type=&aq=f And, I've Got to imagine the word "Guitar" gets typed into google and youtube, at least 100,000+(probably even alot more than that) times a day from People All over the world. And most of the people who search "Guitar" will see the video clip, and click. And for alot of people who don't know much about guitars or are beginners they will see Funtwo and think he is like a "Guitar God". Not to take anything away from funtwo, he's definitely a very skilled player, But I always like JerryC version alot better as well. So to answer the original question, I think part of the reason he's so popular (and has over 54 million views) Has got to be getting put at the top of the search results. |

Slammers theory seems about right
It's also a bit about luck, as you said... I guess it could happen to anybody playing a guitar on youtube, and it happened to him -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!

I am pretty sure he is on top *because* of the millions of views, not the other way around. So I really don't think that is the reason. JerryC was big too with his clip before funtwo. I think funtwo got all the attention because he looked like a little kid who could cover the then famous Canon Rock. And it was a very early Cover too which meant a lot of attention. -------------------- Gear

Yeah, I never understood either. JerryC gets comperatively way less credit for an at least equal job, not to mention composing.

I remember when YT was a reasonably new site, Funtwo's video was one of the first guitar videos I saw there. Maybe he just beat everybody else to it.

I've watched some JerryC videos and I can't say anything else than that he's very sloppy.

I watched him play with Satch and he sucked badly. He could play but he sounded like a good hobbyist, not a professional like Satch.
