It's amazing how much talent some people have while others are......well, like me. 

 

 

My greatest musical accomplishments are playing Mary had a Little Lamb on the flutaphone and being asked to leave a Karaoke bar after knocking over a speaker during a strong performance of Welcome to the Jungle. Those two things are independent of each other obviously.

i promise you both of those guys have logged thousands of hours practicing.  i mean it's true that some people are musically inclined but it takes a lot of work to get that good.

i like it. i'm not sure what to call this genre of acoustic playing, but the patriarch of it, michael hedges used to call his style "heavy mental" acoustic thrash" among a couple other things. fwiw, the only reason he called it anything was because he kept on getting asked how he would classify it by journalists so he would give tongue in cheek answers, but i think those two probably fit better than anything.

 

the dude inspired a lot of other guitarists and if you ever saw the movie 'august rush' the kid's play style was pretty much based on hedges playing, in fact if you remember this scene

"he" was actually playing a michael hedges song called ritual dance

 

a couple other of my many favorites of his:

for some reason this has always been about my favorite rendition of this song.

 

i started listening to him in '88 or '89 and he's one of those players i never got tired of listening to. the guy died in a car crash in '97 so video quality isn't all that great consiidering most people were using VHS camcorders to video him in bootleg concert footage or copied video from VHS to youtube. there is a ton of stuff of his out there. the guy was a great performer.

going back to august rush, the person actually playing when the camera was focused on the kids hands during the technical stuff was kaki king, who was one of many inspired by hedges.

 

this is another of my favorites from this style

 

one other guy who i started paying attention to in the mid-late '90s is keller williams who started off pretty much ripping off hedges (i saw him and talked to him enough back then to know what was up) but then he, like any good musician/artist, started taking those inspirations in directions (relatively) unique to them.

 

anyways, thanks for this thread. i'm not in the music scene anymore so i'm always grateful to hear about newer talent i didn't know about.

    • And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth  
    • I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
