  1. The guitar is very mellow and calm throughout the whole song and I love his control of the guitar. Throughout most of the song the guitar takes a back seat to he piano, but when it needs to be heard, it’s all you can focus on. I also like how he is almost always playing on the higher end of the guitar. It helps to makes the songs they are playing feel so much more emotional.

  2. This is a really good group! I really like these guys they are really together and I can tell that they practice a lot. The guitar guy is really good I think he has been playing for quite a while. I really think the guy that beatboxes and sings at the same time is really cool. The guy on the piano is really good too. I think they all flow together using the piano. Overall, I think these guys are awesome!

  3. Hm…“LeeJayBeats”. First off, I have to say interesting name. One thing I don’t get though, their channel name has two names; Lee and Jay, but there are three people in the car practicing. Unless the third person’s name is Beats, or if his name is Dwight, then it doesn’t make any sense. But I digress. I find it pretty interesting how they practice in a car though. Usually, I find a trend in beat-boxers being really down-to-earth types of guys. I’d say that I’m right on the ball there.

  4. These are three amazingly talented guys. I already love Gabe Bondoc, so to hear him in this collaboration was awesome. I love his song Gentleman Don't. The other guy Jeremy "Passion" Manongdo is an great pianist. Lastly, Leejay Abucayan is an unbelievable beat boxer. When he beat boxed and sang at the same exact time, I was just wowed. This trio is incredible together. They know when to intertwine songs and have such harmony and are so well put together. I would love to seem them live. They know how to make songs sound amazing. They take a song and make it their own.

  5. These guys are awesome and their choices of songs are really good because they just flow together perfectly. It’s very calm and peaceful. The guitarist sounds really good. He probably had been playing for a while. My favorite thing about this video is the beat boxing, I think it’s very cool and he has talent. I also think that it’s pretty cool how they are practicing in their car before their concert.

  6. "Mrs Bruno?" XD
    No. It didn't.
    And as for the new video, I can't say I like it at all without lying. The piano is great, but beatboxing has always ruined music for me. Just not my style. Their "Pokemon Theme Song" was okay, but that might be just because I like Pokemon. I'd like it more if the beatboxer kind of....dissapeared. :)

  8. This is a very cool video. I can not stop looking at the beat-box guy in the right of the video. What I found interesting while watching this is the use of the capo. I did not know what this was at first but then I googled it and found out it's use. It is a device used to shortening the strings, and raising the the pitch. I was not able to really hear the guitar playing in the part of the video. But the part I heard him playing he was playing it very well.
