“Aerial Boundaries” by Michael Hedges

[@brjimbo1]

I remember meeting Michael in Tulsa at a concert at the Brady Theater. He had recently graduated from Phillips University and his music professor accompanied him on the grand piano. Brilliant talent who is still sorely missed. Years later, I did a homemade weather observation video using this soundtrack to track the afternoon build up of cumulus, cumulonimbus and squall lines. Once the severe Wx passed I used "Rickover's Dream", to show outdoor Wx instruments (shelter), radiosond launches and Torcon functions.

Michael is smiling. I'm amazed. You captured the finest nuance of this piece. Absolutely beautiful.

[@chrisdevine3511]

The string stopping is the hardest part of this piece. The most noticeable part of playing this is STOPPING the strings from sounding! Welcome to the genius of Michael Hedges

[@thewordofgord]

Lovely job there Mark. mIchael would be proud of you, as I am.

[@Commiefornia]

Wow! Bravo!

[@MikeRamee]

Very revealing to see that mere mortals can perform this exquisite piece... Oh wait... maybe you ARE a god!?

[@gargoyle1779]

Michael would be so glad that his intuitive style has interested people such as your self to learn it! I hope you will continue more of his unabridged should we say, style of playing. I heard he got kicked out of, or got fed-up with Julliard, because they wouldn't let him expand on theories? And I hope you are playing this for other people, live somewhere, so they too may be inspired, because you are obviously good at it! 👏👍

[@DharmaBeing]

Brilliant . . . a fair share of covers of this one don't honor Michael's tempo, but you do that along with the rest of the brilliance.

[@MichaelTaylor-dr6gx]

The rendition I've ever heard. Thank you for such wonderful camera angles. Absolutely splendid sir.

[@MichaelTaylor-dr6gx]

Best rendition

[@Tids_]

This is so accomplished. Michael would be proud. This song has always penetrates my soul in a way only philharmonic orchestras normally can. Somehow MH managed it with a guitar, and you've perfectly played it for us here. Many many thanks Mark

[@leighjames59]

Nailed it Mark, brilliant, great feel, and can feel your love and respect for Michael and his tunes and playing...thankyou

[@Salmacis99]

Beautiful job!!! Such a great song, and you nailed it.

[@MisterNiles]

I usually cringe when I hear a Hedges cover, because.... you know.... I'm picky, but this was very acceptable. Really, really good in parts. Damn. It must be fun to feel and hear this coming out of yourself.

[@Rockingruvin]

Solid! 💪✊

[@kengodwin3879]

Wow! Almost a perfect rendition. Incredible.

[@pratyushdeb]

This performance is dead accurate with the transcript. Really worked hard for it. Spectacular performance.

[@markcarleton6647]

Fantastic! You nailed it. I’ve never heard anyone else play the song this well.

[@idmarc]

f*#$n hell... bravo!!! only guitar players know what a beast this is to play. ty

[@PaulCarlsonXC]

That was absolutely flippin' amazing. Well done sir.

[@robertmckay4345]

Great job! This is a high hill to climb. Very encouraging that it can be done! Sounds awesome!

[@liamburke1303]

Amazing, that is some serious talent and probably a lot of hard practice

[@wrsswr]

[@danspero8303]

Excellent rendition. Bravo!!

[@mpeltz1534]

Incredible! You should have many more view that you have on this. Very complicated piece. Nicely done.

[@Phuong.Nguyen-]

Enjoyed music 😊

[@afterthought9]

Bravo man. You make me want to play steel again. Never managed to get past the first few bars of this. Hard on the muscles and the brain! Also I can tell you’ve watched that park bench video a lot, your right hand looks just like his.

[@ahmeddraz1882]

Wawwwwww..like your cover very much

[@gyigyu1]

Thank You!!!!!!!

[@edwardanderson3506]

When the cover is better than the original!!??!!

[@davidedamico2933]

❤🔥🌞🎶👍

[@grahamstarkie]

Awesome

[@mykelpoole4201]

Bravo!

[@andrewlardner]

Excellent as always Mark

[@marsdwarf]

Fantastic version! Thanks so much for publishing. I’m curious what gear you used to get this sound?

[@simonpage6549]

Fantastic! What model support are you using ?

[@lucoluap5792]

come registri? Il suono è stupendo. La chitarra è una favola, ma la registazione pure. E tu hai due mani d oro...

[@Aspiring-Hobo]

Holy Fuck, this is a good cover. You and Andrew Gorny have the best Hedges covers, but yours is a little better

[@warriordrum]

Very precise. Impressively played, I appreciate the lack of reverb because it removes any safety net to the sound.

[@chrisdevine3511]

The Stropes book is the best. Andrew Gorney is also a big help. But his one? No. I’m not even close on this one. Maybe by the time I’m 80🤣

[@PNWdude777]

Sounds pretty good.. I met Andrew Gorny when he was playing on the streets near Pioneer Square in Portland, Oregon. I was riding my bike downtown and all of a sudden I hear live Michael Hedges music blasting through the air out of a small speaker, I look and see Andrew playing this song... I was blown away on how well he played Michael's music. I miss those days... I think Andrew lives in Greece now.

[@Better100000]

Need 10 years to practice for this piece.

[@flavioterrin3730]

Fantastic! Tuning please?

[@damienhildman]

CCDGAD

[@flavioterrin3730]

@@damienhildman thanks

[@sixwingsram]

You've got it down, which is laudable but your sound system needs tweeking or equalizing so we can hear all your playing across the sound spectrum. ❤ otherwise, incredible job❤
