This dude just sits down at an instrument and downloads the skill he needs for it from the Matrix.

[ChrisGarmon]

2:45 "Hi Dave, how's it going?" - "Hi, my name is Dave"

Damn, Jacob's just quicker than the rest in EVERY way

[kuyperholland]

Alternative title: Jacob explains people’s instruments to them

[LucasKingPiano]

I've never heard him play anything other than piano, had no idea he could play drums and guitar to that level. Mind blowing.

[Jewalify]

Yamaha employee: ”Yeah so here we have just a plain rock, yeah, just a rock we found outside”
This guy: ”Sweet” *tunes it and plays bohemian rapsody*

[jonathanchristoper]

I bet this guy can even play the yamaha leaf blower

[TheFoldah]

it's like:
Engineer: "new technology from space and mars together combined into ketchup"
Jacob: "yeah" *playing*
Engineer: "This is a new guitar created with Alien Company under a sea"
Jacob: "yeah" *playing*
Engineer: "We spent 100$ Billion for this xylophone from NASA"
Jacob: "yeah" *playing*
Engineer: "try this cocaine guitar, it is made by Pablo Escar in 2050"
Jacob: "yeah" *playing*

[althejazzman]

in this video: Jacob plays every new Yamaha instrument and masters it in seconds.

[brianbernstein]

Fun fact: Jacob's strongest instrument is actually the triangle. He was a triangle major at Juilliard but later changed to the hexagon

[isaiahhiggins]

I bet his parents trapped him on an island since birth with every instrument known to mankind and he just escaped.

[sjznsdjxnzhz]

"So this is more like, orchestral percussion?"

*Casually slaps snare drum*

"Yeah, very nice."

[grproteus]

In case you didn't notice, he *also* plays the violin.

[josephbailey]

I keep silently hoping I'll absorb his skill by watching this over and over

[geegee]

I remember that one Question: "Would you rather want to speak every language in the world or be able to play every instrument in the world?"
I think jacob chose the obvious.

[Aaron-xsbv]

So this is what it's like when Mozart's born in the 21st century huh

[danielk]

08:08 he’s so polite even though he doesn’t care what the guy is saying and just wants to play. Proper dude!

[ubberJakerz]

4:31 When you start contemplating your inadequacies.

[JaeyoungChong]

Jacob doesn't need any of those instruments.
I'll listen to an entire album of Jacob just hitting the boxes in the beginning.
