"Cajun Interlude" Adrian Legg

[@TheSailingangel]

saw him live in Leeds (80's) bought "Guitars and other cathedrals " bought mountain bike, bought sony walkman . went solo-biking all over Holmfirth n moors for a week. I gotta tell ya. One of the most memorable weeks of my life . and Adrian was my soundtrack

[@johnnyb6512]

When I worked for Ovation Instruments, Adrian would come to our facility and put on a mini-concert for us and he thanked everyone there for making such great guitars. He was a very nice genuine man.

[@andybaldman]

Still is!

[@davidledford3522]

I first heard of ovation first time I heard adrian legg one of those plastic records that came in guitar world back in the day

[@Huehuecoyote]

It’s been 14 years that i first watched this video. It must have been a thousand times ever since. I hope this video never gets taken down. And hopefully some big tiktoker will find this jewel and make it go viral. Adrian Legg deserves so much more recognition

[@Lmm150]

I love the audience clapping at 1:45 and Adrian's head nod...

[@twray1835]

Legg is unreal. Defies any explanation. Just marvel at his ability.

[@kermsroomy]

Give ' Sonny Landreth ' a listen.

[@Blanchefort1]

This guy is amazing. Saw him live in the '80ies and I was blown away big time. His album 'Lost for Words' is just great.

[@tedcabana]

I love his smile at 1:47 when he's using the tuners as a tremolo and the audience cheers. That's a golden moment for sure.

[@mommacass7325]

Love it

[@barkon]

I saw him in 93 at a small venue in Ann Arbor. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. He never seems to come to VT. He'd so be a big hit up here! I love the little self-deprecating nod of acknowledgment he gives at 2:53.

[@GuitarPlayer1395]

holy crap, this guy is amazing! I'm blown away!

[@CainPaisley]

Madness! A student just asked to take a look at this, he may need to find another teacher 😂

[@shawnt525]

@mayyujie Not only changing the tuning, we was using the tune change while he was playing.

[@EVHFV]

I've seen this guy play up-close and personal, literally 5 feet away, on two separate occasions while playing at the Ovation factory. One of the most amazing players I'll ever see in my life. How he does what he does, to watch it that close, is simply mind-blowing. I wish he'd come back!!!!

[@bentleycoustic]

Huge fan of thisguy,he never ceases to amaze me.

[@vitoque]

His fingerstyle is just the best I´ve seen. I may not like this music genere but Mr. Legg´s talent is great. I feel like a begineer after watching this performance

[@buddy22701]

The Amazing Adrian ... I love his style, it is so precise, the way he uses his tuning pegs is just simply amazing !

[@9evilnine9]

I saw him with Satriani,Vai, and Eric Johnson on the G3 tour Idan't remember the exact year1990 something,the cool tuning while playing just blew me away an experience I'll never forget,and Adrian was the opener after we saw Johnson,then Vai, then Satriani! Mind boggling!

[@drouleau]

It was 1996 for the Satriani/Vai/Johnson G3 Tour w/ Adrian opening up. I saw them in NYC, it was the night the Yankees won the World Series and the show had gotten out just as the game had ended, and the entire city was going nuts which was pretty wild. Adrian was incredible, I sat there the entire 20 minutes with my mouth open. Vai was my favorite at the time, but Adrian basically upstaged everyone. I just wish I could remember the songs he was playing. One of them was basically an entire song of semi-sweep arpeggios that sounded amazing. Another song he was bending strings by using the tuning pegs, but was doing it so much and so often (and not always going right back to the original tuning), that I have no clue how he ended up with the guitar back in tune by the end of it. The guy was on a whole other level.

[@guycornwall]

This bloke's music just makes me smile it's just great.

[@jamespotts8197]

I'm not sure where to start with this musical genius, how he's mastered the acoustic transcends any simple little "words" that I might've used in honoring this groundbreaking master. For a person to have developed the technique he's created, you'd have to have spent...…..well, most of if not all of your life pursuing your artistic development, along with that outstanding technique. He's embodied the acoustic, has made it a "part of himself". The acoustic isn't just an instrument he's playing, he's "infused it" into to his very "being", as if it were an added appendage all its own.

[@Talon68]

I saw this guy on the very first G4 tour when they were in Seattle, WA. He was the opening act and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.. that and he's funny as hell.

[@mashcot]

Damn that last chord ! Brilliant !

[@mommacass7325]

Outstanding!!!

[@victotronics]

This is just mindblowing. So cool. So good.

[@Talon68]

I got to see him in Seattle when he opened for the G3 concert at the Paramount. Awesome player and funny as hell

[@guitaraddictsanonymous81]

Love Adrians playing ability. What a picker. Thanks for the music Mr Legg!

[@redhotfunkyblues]

See my post above - SOLO concert in London UK, June 2nd.

[@gatomalomusic6081]

Inspiration ♥️

[@jakemf1]

This guy is a pure monster!!

[@santamara]

Just awesome! Thank you and to Resonantforce for sharing!

[@Mr.TakamineUSA]

Adrian is a truly gifted and unique guitarist. His book "How To Customize Your Electric Guitar" was also a HUGE influence for me. A completely brilliant musician / technician who is not afraid to think outside of the box!

[@JoelBiger]

Very great ! Famous playing . Nice song ...

[@valentinecreek]

holy shit. that's so far past fabulous i don't even know what to think because i'm pretty sure my mind has just been blown.

[@normasnockers323]

[@jaco3714]

Amazing!

[@gustavoorta8281]

This Guy is definitely a Martian. The things he does with the guitar are out if this World. Wow👏

[@shawnt525]

MIND = BLOWN

[@jeffhiggins8087]

The Acoustic Wizard !

[@ilikechet]

Amazing performance....I see he's using banjo pegs for the tuning trickery but does anyone know what alternate tuning he may be using. Incredible guitarist

[@andre.as.kyriakou]

What the #$%^ was that??? The blend of styles, techniques, speed, and melody are rather astounding...

[@redhotfunkyblues]

See my post above - SOLO concert in London UK June 2nd!

[@kostas_guitarsession]

Great, 👍👍🎸

[@spumemonk11]

A real Guitar God!

[@briansocha2224]

I love all the cats but Adrian is best. NOBODY comes close, he does it all and still manages to grab your heart!! Boom!!!

[@kennybluet5527]

Brian Socha never heard anybody make an ovation sound so good.Im guessing you're probably aware ofJerry Donahue.Similar style but I think he's pretty much a Tele and Stray guy

[@allenlocke1935]

Absolute Brilliance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎸

[@razormusik]

This makes me want to learn fingerstyle. A lot.

[@27boof]

INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you, Adrian, SO MUCH! :) & thanks to GtrWorkShp for uploading :)

[@stratsamelting]

Second that Eric,superb.....

[@guitarman6721]

Adrian Legg is the guitar god of acoustic guitar!

[@shivampratapsingh2188]

great!

[@VTOrganix]

Love the Bluebird!

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Unbelievable

[@Reapersden666]

very skilling finger guitarist i like how he plays by tuning alot thats just fancy

[@chefeddie88]

awsome.....

[@EVEROSFP1]

Unreal technique...

[@kmasi302]

I saw Adrian play years ago. He was opening for someone else, and I'm sitting there thinking who the hell is this guy when he came out to play. I can't remember who the headliner was that I went to see, but I remember Adrian. His playing just blew me away.

[@srj34]

"Okay, now go follow that guy"

[@bentleycoustic]

Genius.........anyone got the tab for ghost in the hill?

[@stuartweissman7306]

that last chord...like next week's cliff hanger sequel...now i have to google to see if he plays anything like "Georgia" or Gershwin... or some esoteric compositions...

[@SilasDeMay]

Best playin' the guitar is awesome.

[@GeezerDookey]

Awesome

[@briansocha2224]

Frank the Part Time Clown gets me every time!!!

[@omkaratube]

impressionante!

[@ptalbany]

lol that was my first thought as well fredrick but then I am a Martin man hehe!!! I would love to hear him play a real guitar

[@Jdogasauras]

does anyone know what kind of tuners he's using? just regular banjo tuners?

[@LISOUND]

Keith Banjo Tuners

[@WolfReaper14]

@Salguine 6 if hes rushed for time but yes around ten

[@coldoldrice]

I don't know why people were complaining about his guitar in previous comments. I think that it's voice complements his unique style. The aforementioned whiners should probably shut up and learn something.

[@mcpappysgolden]

OH MY GOD.

[@pre9120]

His playing makes me think of a combination of Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed.

[@TheMythrader]

i been on for 3 years from tabs in mag...got most except the double bends they dont come close

[@peterlanghaar]

That was scaring!

[@TheBadcop]

I would give my right hand to be able to play this well

[@geddyx]

geil...

[@ericcongdon]

Wow, that part when he is detuning the strings, whoa.

[@frederickproctor]

Just saw Adrian Legg at the International Guitar Night show in Baltimore at the Gordon Center. He looks like a normal guy and then he starts playing and you wonder why he picked our planet. Plus he starts each song with a story involving dead people.

[@rrrrockin]

holy smokin man..

[@mariano697]

bravissimo, sicuramente non ha problemi per accordare la chittara al volo.....

[@barkon]

I meant the nod at 1:47 not 2:53. That's the total time. Man. I must be still reeling from my not-enough-food training ride tonight. Sorry

[@washburndaddy]

I know he uses like open Dm and Gm for some things, I almost think this is tuned to open Dm

[@SkrwdUall]

10g for wepen and armer plis

[@nmcc69]

@squallerrleon dude indeed.

[@HakureiReimuOfficial]

Good luck!

[@stepitupandgo67]

damn

[@redhotfunkyblues]

See my post above - SOLO Concert in London June 2nd!!

[@lordscrewtape2897]

What kinda lunatic tries pedal steel bends on an ACOUSTIC for crying out loud...

[@SuperOlds88]

hey I guess them Stephan Grossman dvd's really DO work, at least for him, lol

[@EricAll4soundsAlbert]

more treble please

[@sk84ever515]

i think he typed in a cheat

[@EarthAltar]

walks on water when not playing guitar.

[@jiros00]

Very nice. If you like this you should look up "Ewan Dobson".

[@rodneybrown6907]

Unless you see him live, you will have no idea how much the bass notes thump. It sounds just like a bass guitar playing along.

[@mayyujie]

I would love to have the lifehacks that he uses. I mean, changing the tuning halfway through the song? Seriously?

[@jcw3032]

i may as well sell my guitar and learn the triangle...

[@EVEROSFP1]

Adrian should be a character in the Marvel universe for his guitar abilities...

[@jhamler1]

Yeah, I like it when he nods his head as if to say: Yes, I AM the ninth wonder of the world... thanks for noticing."

[@guitarciaaleon5900]

🎶🌎🦋🪔🎸🎼

[@KevinKilgorepage]

allow me to save you ALL the trouble of deciding who is the best guitar player on the planet, as for technical playing, it is Terry Wedding . Hands down. period.You will probably never get to hear the man play but if you do then you will understand. If I could change something about music, it would be to turn the world on to "Real Talent" as Terry and the above guitarist also. Unfortunate that music has been turned into a propaganda machine that is twisted entertainment and NOT music anymore. You might get a glimpse of Terry in the new "Lenny Breau" documentary.

[@monaxoskamikazi]

1:47 hahaha

[@TheMusicalSchizo]

Man, Bill Murray can PLAY! ;)

[@Apoptonet]

WHAT TA FUC

[@brumguitarteacher]

Just a remarkable musician and guitarist. All of this "Tommy Emmanuel is better" is nonsense. It's not a competition.

[@dawaltz07]

i cant even get that many notes per second with my electric and a pick, tremolo picking.......

[@clovis2012]

He melts frets...then your mind.

[@George.Andrews.]

Amazing playing spoilt by that crappie ovation non tone.

[@jwandhistools]

AL owes a lot of guitar players a new set of doors....

[@tommywhite3545]

Hah well I can do that no sweat!!! ;

[@HakureiReimuOfficial]

Keep trying!
