Yeah, but you still cheated.

Takes five Canadians to do exactly the same thing as Newton Faulkner does on his own. Check Newton out, now he is amazing....

Yes Newton Faulkner is amazing at what he does.

The point of Walk off the Earth's video is that all five of them were playing ONE guitar at the same time... no need to denigrate WotE's great song.

Never mind.

Thanks for posting and the introduction!

Can really understand why their video has gone viral. I agree, what they have done with one instrument is fabulous. I love Newton Faulkner - but don't understand the need to make unfavourable comparisons?! Being based in the UK, I hadn't heard of this band, so thanks - will look out for them in future.

I see they wear special suits when they jump of the top of tall cliffs. I wonder whose idea that was? More so, I wonder who tried it first?
