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.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By CRA · Posted

      well, players dictating things only works if you have the right collection of players to dictate things.  and in all honesty, not sure if we can answer if we do or don't as fans given......there are no Thomas Davis types around that we know are actually about X and Y (based on years showing it).  Collective team is too new to us to know what these dudes are really about in terms of players carrying the burden of culture.

      Moore can be put in one of the vet spots on IR. No one will be checking for him at the start of the season. But I would be very perturbed if we tried to go all Gettlemagic and stash an obvious talent like Horn on practice squad like we did Butker. If we can get through this year, next year it will be obvious Moore and AT will be gone, starting namely with AT's contract.

      Culture change comes from the top down, not from drafting a 3 and no D guard. I doubt Lamelo is gonna take his cues from this 20yr old kid lol. If Brandon Miller couldn’t change the culture with how good he is and how much he hustles on both ends, Kon Knueppel sure as hell ain’t changing it. Ace Bailey by all accounts is also a great teammate and hard worker, btw, who was drafted by a team he supposedly didn’t want to go to yet he immediately bought in. And he’s got actual length and tools on both ends of the floor. I feel this pick is going to age like milk rather quickly.
