people don’t understand how incredibly hard it is to perform this! mad respect for you!

2014: a kid happily enjoy the music 2021: a teen emotionally listen to the good old days...

Its May 2020, and this still gives me goosebumps! The Ending +SoNevable!

My old friend and I used to listen to this every time she came over, we would dance and stare in awe at the talent you posses, Nev. Rest in peace Avicii, you will forever be remembered as a true legend ❤️

dude i can't believe this was 7 yrs ago , it still gives me goosebumps how hard is it to perform that!

RIP Avicii,❤️😢

This is the video that made me want to have a launchpad when I was 13. And, with almost 20, I still want to. And I'm about to get finally one. Is so sad that this channel is almost not posting anymore, your launchpad covers are being really missed, Nev

Some women: "men can't multitask!" This guy: "bet?"

NEV YOU FREAKIN GENIUS WHAT THE FUCK I CAN'T EVEN THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD

Did anyone notice for a split second at 1:21 it said "NEV" on the launchpads? That's so cool!

i remember when i was 12 i would watch and listen to this religiously, coming back to it is so nostalgic now. amazing performance, i know how hard it is to multitask with anything. remembering guitar rhythms are very hard for me being a beginner and i’ll have to say this is very inspiring for me.

Screw the launchpad, THE BLOODY GUITAR PLAYING IS AMAZING *The launchpad is sick though

OH YEAH THIS HIT A MILLION CONGRATZ

Okay so it looks like hes just pressing keys in a basic pattern. Looks pretty easy right? Well, before you say it is, I would like to say that playing the guitar is difficult enough... but playing it one handed? Thats a feat. I know this, because I play guitar. AND... Imagine trying to play guitar, hit the right notes at the same time, AND hit the correct launchpad buttons at the same time. Even though they are basic patterns, etc., imagine trying to memorize what order they go in while playing guitar at the same time. Such feats require incredible dedication and skill. Nice job.

My favorite launchpad cover by far. Years have passed since I listened to this for the last time, but here I am again. This is timeless ❤

2:41 this part always gave me goodbumps. I come back to this moment every few years.

one of the best launchpad covers i have ever heard

This is fucking amazing.

10 years later still loving it. Miss ya nev

Came back for this masterpiece and its still as beautiful as I lost it from my bookmarks

Launchpad and Acoustic Guitar? What an awesome combo!

Imagine what the drum solo part wouldve sounded like if u remove the music. *tap tap tap tap tap tap tap*

HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE DAMN MAN UR A LEGEND!

It looks so relaxing I’m definitely going to get one 😮

Great work, Nev - fantastic video, as always. (We've been looking forward to this one for a while now!) All the best from us. :)

And you have only 2 hands... Respect!

I'm not crying, you are

"What more could you ask for?" please Nev, stop being adorable AND talented.

I love how it flashed NEV just before you started the whole drum solo.

If you actually played that guitar with one hand and that launchpad with the other, I will subscribe to you for that sheer talent.

it's been 10 months of 2020, i think we need to wake-up from this nightmare

i miss Avicii! I listen to this song 20 times a day, Rest in Peace my friend 2019!!!

Nev, WHY U SO AWESOME?!

This is Beyond HUMAN LIMITS!!!

2:40 this is amazing!!!!

This brings back so many memories... You can't even begin to comprehend the nostalgia rediscovering this channel has brought me.

Sick video man, unique use of the launchpads!! And that Kat Krazy remix addition was great, been one of my favourites for months. Excited to see what else you have in store for us :)

This takes serious mlg hand eye coordination... My mind is blown...

rewatching all vids from my old youtube playlist. this is nostalgic

When I heard 1:05 I was amazed :O this was amazing! Rip Tim Bergling (Avicii) 1989-2018 ❤😭💔

Haters: Omg, he's faking it! Me: Explain that in the "Drum Solo" you can hear a faint *CLICK CLICK CLICK* of buttons tho. You better listen carefully before hating his hard work. >:(

I have officially found the best song that defines school

0:10 made me smile, not everthing needs a reason, things can just be for that I clicked this vid without knowing what song it was but I love this song, loved it before clicking, so thank you

Rip Avicii. He will deeply be missed. He did an amazing job with his music. He was my inspiration and i cant believe he is gone at such a young age. I was almost crying when i heard the news.

R.I.P Avicii :( 1989-2018

Pure talent... just wow Give that man a cookie!

This is the definition of commitment

Man this video popped up in my recommended again and I havent seen it in 8 years. This video was so fucking awesome back in the day and it brought back so many memories.

I never knew how these launchpad work but i like the covers made by using launchpads!

was 1:21 really necisarry, Nev? XD

The amount of emotions I have coming back to this video... so much talent and memories

Purest Form Of Art

Avicii would be proud of this amazing work...rest in peace

This man is talented.

Need to know how those strings work, now I'm watching this as practically an adult I'm in awe of this whole thing!

I **heavily** miss Nev, he literally "dies" after each upload for an extreme amount of time. it's sad to see his potential and such skill fade away. I love your videos man, keep it up!

I want a launch pad. And to also learn how to play the guitar. But even if I do, I'll never be as good as him. xD

dude.... just... wow. Seriously... just wow. I... I Cant.... wow

Ever since I found this video, this has been my favorite version of this song. The guitar, into wake me up, and that ending. Just wow

Tim would be proud :) ◢ ◤

HE'S ALIVE!

SOMEONE STOP THIS MAN HES ABUSING WILD LAUNCHPADS!!!!!!!!

Ok, so I watched this like 3 years ago, a d now I play the guitar and other 5 instruments, and now I ser that... WHAT HE DOES IS THE MOST AMAZING THING A MUSICIAN CAN DO!

10th Aniversary of this song. RIP Avicii, Tim Berglin, you are my inspiration

I dont understand why people are so confused by how a launchpad works. You press a button and a sound plays. If you press a lot of buttons in a specific pattern you can make a sound. These buttons also happen to light up, so to make a similar effect to a music visualizer you can have the buttons light up in different colors to either be purely visually appealing, or even to help the person who is playing the launchpad be able to tell what buttons to press. Similar to an electric piano with an led under the keys to help the user practice.

ahh here we are two years later with HOLY SHIT 567,632 SUBS

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥man ,you literally just combined both of my favourite musical instruments and just aaahhh😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Really awesome man and it's really really worth 1 million views 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

2:39 do you hear smashing on the lauchpad?

Those of you saying this is fake, get a grip. People commit suicide from that kind of abuse online, and you don't have the maturity to hold your conspiracy theories in? There are a few reasons I've seen that people think it's fake: Guitar playing style doesn't look realistic. Read the description, break out your Google-fu. It's a known one-handed style of playing guitar known as "tapping". A decent-sounding chord is formed from strumming the open guitar (no strings pressed down). This should really be obvious, he re-tuned the strings so an open strum made the chord he wanted throughout the song. Some people think the Launchpad part is prerecorded and played over, because not all the buttons he presses appear to trigger samples. Yep, I'd agree. I think some of the buttons he presses trigger samples, others don't. The ones that trigger samples are for the music, the others are for appearance's sake, for a light show. See the next paragraph for my point on this. "It's just a light show, there's no real samples triggering". Watch Nev's other videos, of course it's a damn light show, that's part of the appeal. You know what it also is? Music. It's like a singer that also dances on-stage to add interest. Does that automatically mean the singer's lip-syncing? He presses buttons once and it plays a sample, then presses it again and it plays a different sample. I've seen plenty of people do this, from what I understand it's based on a system called macros. Basically, buttons can assign other buttons to different samples. Besides that, the Launchpad is a MIDI device. I could literally write my own piece of software to interface with it directly, without using any established music-making software like Ableton Live. Because of that, you don't actually have any idea what program Nev's using, so it's literally not possible to say that he can or can't do something.

I can never listen to the original ever again

I’m here in 2021 ..I miss u Avicii….and of course thank u brother for honoring his magical wisdom …everyone it gets better … just smile 😊

2021. I hope this dude make a comeback

In the min. 1:21 the luachpad write "NEV" it so great Nev!! :D

For all the people who thinks it's fake, it's not. when you tap a launchpad key it doesn't go down, it's touch sensitive. that's why you can barely hear him hit it.

It's 2023 and the minute 2:41 still giving me goosebumps, even though I know is coming! :D Good Old Days Never Die. SoNevable!

Respect to Nev for the serious amount of work and months of time put into these videos, I can rewatch thousands of times

Dude this guy can play guitar one handed and play the launchpad with the other, and I cant even play the triangle with both ;-;

TALENT LEVEL!!!! 1-BOO!-no 2-noob - no 3-meh... - no 4-nice- no 5-cool- no 6-awesome!-no 7-EPIC!!-no 8-Chuck Norris!!!-no 9-ASIAN!!!!!!!!!-no 1000000-NEV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-YEAH

We won’t forget you Avicii! You is my hero of music !!

1:28 my favourate bit just smaking a expensive machine

Who is here for Avicii's passing? RIP Avicii. You'll be missed. Gone, but not forgotten. His music will live on because of people like Nevable.

Anyone else come straight to this after hearing about Avicii's passing??? R.I.P Avicii. You're music will live on throughout our playlists.. ~

One of the greatest songs ever written. Amazing Job Avicii will always hold a special place in our hearts. Rest in Peace, brother.

2:40 So....is this like.......techno riverdance?

I WANT MOARRRR!

0:18 “It’s time to wake up.” Me: “Yeah, Avicii. Time to wake up!”

I wish you were on spotify goddamn!!

one of the best covers I ever seen as a kid, still listen to this to this day mad respect

You should go for a walk around tchernobyl and expect to develop one more arm. Would be easier to play multiple instruments :)

Nev Is 20% cooler than every launchpad player. SO AWESOME!!!!

While I’m sad that Avicii is no longer around us anymore, that doesn’t mean we can’t make unique versions of his songs and I love what you’ve created using Avicii’s Wake Me Up song as a base. Keep making your music for it’s amazing!

His Music will live forever!!!

Rip will be missed

anyone else notice that the first pattern is the mark of the templars from Assassins Creed?

2:39 Cuando tenia 11 años encontré esta parte en un Top y lo busque como loco en ese entonces y ahora casi 7 años luego vine a encontrarlo enserio que obra maestra. ♡

I'm crying because of this, RIP AVICII, YOU WILL BE LOVED FOR EVER! (Who Is Watching This In 2k19?)

i like this version of wake me up better than the original one

Dude, is there something you can't play ?

Rip Avicii This was so perfect and alot of respect to Avicii 😞😞

i can barely walk and breathe at the same time, so the fact you can play launchpad and guitar is incredible!
