I have NEVER, EVER seen anything like this.

Tonight I'm answering the emails I've received recently about this. Check out the referenced original video here -

This guy (Giacomo Turra) doesn't just copy these solos, he plays them slowed down as he's not talented enough to play them at full speed - as Danny pointed out, watch the clock on one of the videos! His live stuff is poor, as you might expect, yet he's making a fortune from YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. Thank goodness for guys like you and Danny for pointing the scammers out.

Fil, Danny also pointed out in a follow-up video that no credit was given to the original guitarists until the faker was caught.

Danny Sapko is great. Glad you did this video. Stealing someone's original music and labeling it as your own is the lowest of low..BEHS!!!

[stevemclean]

Danny Sapko is hilarious but he's also a seriously talented guy.

[xplunka]

I really liked these shorts of Giacomo. I was shocked when I watched Danny´s video. Thanks BEHS man for setting the record straight. Cheers!

Great job Danny, I’ve watched managers and lawyers over the years ripping off musicians, but when a musician does it that’s the lowest of the low,

Homeboy was "inspired by a video [he] saw" in the same way a burglar is inspired by all the money he sees in a safe.

[Tom_Emody]

I have never heard a longer description of the word “copying”
Love you Fil..!!

BEHS
Danny is hilarious... Love his channel / shorts...
Glad that his actual serious video is getting some traction!

[andyhbassman]

Danny is the man - love his channel - a great muso and funny as hell

[danalawrence]

Wow, Fil AND Danny Sapko in the same clip, 2 of my favorites! The mind reels! And what a great catch you made, Fil. Danny comes across as a funny bloke, but he is actually a very serious musician, on behs, of course.

[Oligodendrocyte]

I watched Danny's video, and I'm so pleased to see Fil's take. In my opinion what Danny showed was most clearly passing off, and legal action should ensue. Sadly, it probably won't given the expense concerned.

[EricMySelf]

Saw the videos from Danny and was just disgusted. I'm glad you are picking this up too! Someone is about to lose his fake music career!

[Slydeil]

The honest power of the BEHS! Great work by Danny Sapko exposing this ridiculous brass necked chancer. Danny's videos are always entertaining, but on this occasion its a serious issue he's highlighted.

[DF-gofi]

A key aspect missing here is that his IG videos sound so clean and crisp with equal non-varying attack, because he pre-records the music and solos at half speed, say 65 bpm, then speeds them up to 130 bpm. Then he records the video miming along to playback (no real issue with this part, as all 'music videos' are like this, unless stated as 'live'). I think Danny covers this in his follow-up video.

"Plagiarism" is the legal term.

[GuitarGeek]

Seeing Danny on here is worlds colliding, both amazing creators in their own rights

[ricktalley]

Thank you for playing this so this guy gets more exposure for his theft. Danny is great. This usually isn’t what he does.

[jonashormann]

I actually hate how nice we're being to these kinda people. To me, if you blatantly steal something as obvious as is the case here and then present it in such fashion, how can you even sleep at night? They're complete psychos.

[karlshuler]

Danny has a great channel as well. He really is hilarious.
