MGM: What’s up, I’m Mystery Guitar Man, and you’re watching Young Hollywood.
RJ: RJ here. So we have got the world’s best tour guide here at VidCon, none other
than Mystery Guitar Man. How are ya?
MGM: “Mystery Guitar Man here. Today I am making this extra bonus video as a challenge
to you guys ...”
RJ: And he’s got like the best way – show us your tour stick.
MGM: I’ve got my tour stick, which is actually a half eaten lollipop. I think that’s the
best way because people are kind of, they keep their eyes on the lollipop to see if
it’s going to fall off the stick or not, so therefore that’s what I use.
RJ: Well let’s see where the lollipop’s going to take us.
MGM: Alright, let’s see. The lollipop is going to take us first ....
RJ: Let’s see a Mystery Guitar Man video. What’s the epitome if someone wants to see
what he’s all about.
MGM: Alright. So, we’ll go to YouTube.com/mysteryguitarman, and there you go! You get to see what Mystery
Guitar Man is all about. So this video I actually did with a scanner, so each one of these – you
know how you press your face up against the scanner? –
RJ: Yeah
MGM: Each one of these, as you can see, is one scan, and then you put them all together.
This was not an easy video to make. I’m going to go ahead and say that.
RJ: How long did it take you?
MGM: It took me about 10 hours of pressing my face up against the scanner. Pretty sure
I have some kind of cancer of the skin or some kind of eye disease or something like
that. And there we go, that’s the video!
RJ: Look at that! Let’s continue the tour. Where are we going?
MGM: Very 80’s
RJ: Good idea! So we’ve created the “Chill Lounge”. So, so what do people come do here?
Just chill?
MGM: This is where they come and chill. There are places for you to come and charge your
phone and things like that. There are places for you to be watching Bammo, in case you
want to be watching that kind of stuff.
RJ: Loving Bammo! We’ve had Tay in our studio, DeStorm’s been in our studio, and now we’ve
gotta get you in our studio in LA, that’s next. Mystery Guitar Man – maybe a little
impromptu performance or something. Let’s talk about collaborations that happen
here. We were talking to DeStorm earlier and he said a ton of them have come out of VidCon
throughout the years. Is there anyone you’ve ever met down here, hooked up with, and then
next thing you know you guys did a video together from here?
MGM: Oh yeah definitely, you know, like before I was traveling out, you know, there were
people from the UK that I would meet for the first time, Australia that I would meet for
the first time, Canada even, other parts of the country I’ve never been to – so yeah,
VidCon is the place where you meet people.
RJ: It’s a cool setup, and have you been here all three years? How many times have
you been at VidCon?
MGM: Yeah, all three years. I’ve performed all three years. I’ve, you know, been walking
around all three years. And this year is definitely the biggest.
RJ: Besides more people, how else have you seen change? What evolved about VidCon over
the years?
MGM: Its become a lot more industry focused, which is great because you know there’s
business to go around – there’s plenty of business to go around – plenty of things
to do. So yeah I’m glad that it’s doing that.
RJ: Alright let’s do one last part of the tour. We’ve got to go to the best part of
all – the gaming center!
MGM: Ok, because I was never able to go to one of these arcades – because in Brazil
they didn’t have that many – so I’m glad that we were able to get all of the different
gaming stations. No need for quarters or anything!
RJ: And what’s your game of choice if you were to just go, go to ...
MGM: I think I’ve got to go Galaga -- all the way
RJ: How cool is that? That you’ve got video games, you’ve got food, you’ve got bean
bags to chill in, you can watch Mystery Guitar Man videos. Let’s see how you are at Galaga.
MGM: I ... I never said I was good!
RJ: (laughs) It’s just his game of choice! Anyone you haven’t collaborated with yet?
Anyone you’ve got your eye on? Any other YouTubers or anyone else in mainstream you
want to do a video with?
MGM: I was really hoping to meet – whoops! The .. that’s what happens with the lollipop...
RJ: the tours almost ending by the way. When the lollipop’s done, the tour is done.
MGM: I was really hoping to with the Young Hollywood guys, but I hear that they’re
really not nice folks.
RJ: They’ve got skills though. That would be a good collaboration.
MGM: I know. And they say that they’re really not that good looking ...
RJ: Wait now! Hold on! We had Tay Zonday did a custom song for us when he was in our studio,
De did a beatbox and he did a little rap, so ...
MGM: Yeah, I’ll do a video for you guys: some kind of stop-motion video or something
like that. Something fun.
RJ: We’ll make that happen. That would be cool!
There you go. Young Hollywood, VidCon, Mystery Guitar Man.
