9/16 Kaki King - Bowen Island @ Festival delle Colline, Carmignano, Italy (09/07/2012)

[@Jadeparx]

Finally, a cohesive song written on prepared guitar. Most people who use prepared guitar just make random noises with no sense of musicality in it. She's not using as radical preparations as some, but at least she is being musical with it.

[@DJXistance]

i just seen her playing this on some watchmojo top ten and i heard her playin this i instantly had to look this up so amazing :D

[@Paramore2310]

Yeah, the same thing brought me here, it's soo good!

[@brendanlucas1920]

That is how i discovered this guitar legend

[@DrelvanianGuardOffic]

DJXistance Same. And now I want to try that with my guitar.

[@matthewhealy7607]

I have heard of her before that video but I have never heard any of her stuff before the watchmojo top 10 and I was absolutely blown away. I'm actually trying to learn it now. its a lot more simple than you might think

[@matthewhealy7607]

+Midday Brotherhood yknow you can do it with virtually anything, I like to use a harmonica but sometimes I place a slide under the string

[@gsjbaldwin]

kaki is so endlessly and seemingly effortlessly creative. She just amazes me!

[@KennethChapple]

She is one of the greats.

[@attilakovacs5803]

Amazing sound!

[@screechandmoan]

Perfection.

[@therealawakener7]

Beautiful, and innovative.

[@dekacster]

this is great. such a catchy sound :)

[@Albeit_Jordan]

"What I did is I put a thin piece of wood under the strings atop the sixteenth fret and sawed little grooves in it..." Dammit, I just dropped $120 AUD on her Passerelle bridge and NOW I find out how to DIY it.

[@kingrobert1st]

Yes. She is now my Kaki Koto King! 420

[@domenicotrombetti8583]

aaahyes. Beautiful.

[@thrustfrombehind9869]

A Koto on the go...

[@melusina11]

divine!

[@tsale8670]

Thank you for you new idea :) and I like your music

[@hellothello89]

genius!!!

[@kentallard8852]

Kaki should play with Robert Fripp, her acoustics+his soundscapes=win

[@alilacherruse]

Yeah... That could work. Are you familiar w/ or know of Steve Tibbetts? I'd like to hear that.

[@LorenzoCianiS]

Bravissima!

[@GiorgioAllocco]

I think the tuning is EACEGA

[@juandiegovillacis2151]

I figure out how to play it and it just WAY TO MUCH FUN!!! Its true, the worse the state of the guitar the better it sounds

[@matthewhealy7607]

haha. kaki king uses a second bridge saddle and a fancy acoustic guitar, I use a highlighter and a squier strat!

[@leonardcrainie9928]

Now... Would this work on a 12 string lol

[@septerannon]

Leonard Crainie yeah probably (5 years later 😂)

[@kpgpwi64]

This is the real koto technique, what eric johnson does is a pipa technique.

[@LikeARealBean]

I found my new favorite artist. Thanks watchmojo lol

[@Dyldozer666]

Thats so fucking cool

[@CR2012]

very nice, sounds Asian somehow :-) I'd like to know the tuning of her guitar, but I don't know if I'm going to torture mine like so :-)

[@ledbol]

Koto

[@puliwhite1165]

Kaki means poop in hungary

[@darktrooper2099]

_LIAR_

[@ChronoPhoenix]

she has nothing to do with that thing you said in your comment.

[@afgtp0906]

i didnt know justing beiber could actually play guitar. Still not a fan but cool.

[@sphz1971]

I wonder if she could play a melody....instead of noise

[@luketuke02]

ok dumbass
