Great lesson! Off topic, but I thought I was familiar with every brand of shred style guitar out there, but I don't recognize that one, and can't read the logo on the headstock. Anyone know what it is?

Henry, 2025 is the year you and I finally record that album together. Call me.

Yes master !

In respect of rule 3, surely one player would end sooner?

rule #3 is interesting, i wonder how one would get into that mindset... in my thought process it would be 'well if the other musicians are playing this, i would normally play that in response, so i better play something different" but that in itself is listening to and responding to the other musicians in a way. it's a thought experiment like a zen koan or something, how do you hear what other musicians are playing and not respond *at all* in the affirmative or negative sense

Thanks so much, I wish i'd heard of him 30 years ago.

Absolutely based for doing this, Henry Kaiser.

I would paraphrase the three instructions into one..”play like you’re trying to spontaneously combust “…(I loved this installment so much I had to comment twice 😊)

Wow!!

Jojo !

Cool beans. Wasn't aware of this musician. Got some nice new concepts to play around with. Thanks and have a Happy New Year 🙏☮

7'03'' some tape lost by claude ventura ?

Straight up zonkin’ ❤

It’s an old friend and I’m so grateful to KZbin

Yes, sad, Henry - but your tribute has been a gift at Christmas. Wonderful music, thanks as always.

Thank You for sharing ! I am a Henry too !

Beautiful Henry. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

Growing up in India, I was lucky to have seen Zakir Hussain with the original lineup of Shakti with the mighty John McLaughlin, it is a phenomenal show, they almost played for four hours. I remember reading about you and your articles on Guitar Player magazine back in the eighties. It’s a huge loss for Hindustani classical music and the world at large. You are one of the few western musicians who actually understands how big of a talent Zakir was. Thanks for remembering your friend Henry and sharing your thoughts with us. God Bless you. Rest in Peace…Zakir Hussain ! 🙏🇺🇸🇬🇧🇮🇳

Thank you for sharing…

Thank you Henry and Cuneiform Records. I saw Zakir several times. He was a genius. I will play his music this Christmas Eve.

Sad news

Thank you! 💘

He is with his dad, Allah Rahka

Big up Yan .... Sotos ......ca me fait penser à ce qu'a fait vitas gerulaitis il y a quelques années ......

An immeasurable loss..

RIP Zakir Hussain. What a loss, what a legacy. Lovely tribute for your friend Henry 🙏

Wonderful..

Finally, someone elucidates this crazy time of year! Have a cool Yule 🙏☮

Very Funny: Henry Von Helium we’ve spotted 12 Men in very long white coats shouldering butterfly nets. They are lurking behind trees in your neighborhood. 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱…

Getting into the festive spirit like

Merry Christmas

A fitting tribute for a sonic cosmonaut

Nice

As far as I can remember, this song is about his autistic son. It drives me to tears every time I hear it. I have cerebral palsy myself but I have people in my family with severe autism.

I Phil Ya's, Well Done & Way Out, 🎍✨️😎Real Gone❣️💫

New to the party! Thank you Henry amd David!

Great tribute to the great Phil Lesh

Sounds so much like Univers Zero esp 4th and 5th lps by them

Lovely tribute. RIP Phil Lesh 🙏☮

Please put full album on youtube

🤘👽🤘

OMG!

Tomeka is a gifited cellist. The only person who comes close is Jacob Szekely - worth checking out! Heck might even be worth doing a collab together!

I'm here because I'm Brazilian and an American friend sent me a link from New York times. Awesome!!!

Reminds me of some of Egberto Gismonti's occasional experiments in minimalism

Also here's bc of the NYTimes. Incredible

Damn. I need a Beefheart voice audition! Vivian Stanshall?

I like several kinds of jazz, but I wouldn’t call this jazz. The first part sounds like noise and goes on so long that I thought I had the wrong site. Then it adds mostly uninspired repetitive themes. It doesn’t swing. It’s not creative. The players are locked into dull patterns. It sounds mostly dead to me. I’ve heard plenty of Latin jazz that’s energized and played enthusiastically and is alive. This is not. Don’t know why the Times liked it.

Always loved samba, Brazilian jazz....gives me the same feeling as those musical scores by Italian composers for films in the 1960s which I also love! :)
