Figure Eights - Ted Yoder Original

Ted Yoder is a world-renowned musician, known for his groundbreaking and innovative approach to the hammered dulcimer, earning him the title "the Bela Fleck of the Hammered Dulcimer."

Ted's unique performance style, called "Yoderizing," reimagines popular covers and beloved classics, creating the sound of an entire rock band or symphony orchestra with just his dulcimer.

How cool is this song? Sounding good Ted and crew! Coincidentally 8 is my favorite number. We're still listening 🎶

Beautiful!!!

[@Cl0v3r_GlXtch]

Just watched him perform live, and I have to say, it sounds so beautiful and to hear on the background stories to these songs, makes it all much more meaningful

[@TedYoderMusic]

Thank you Lauren. Glad you got to see me Live too.

[@patmurphy389]

Just thinking about all the work that went into this blows my mind Ted. You had to write the music for the other instrumentalists and everything. I don't know how you pulled it off?

[@notforlorne]

Thanks Ted It's beautiful as always . You never fail.. ❤

[@Salieri47]

A standing ovation to all! From the composer to the video editers.

Amazing how music with no words can say so much. Beautiful!

[@TedYoderMusic]

I love this. I love the challenge of writing songs that speak with no words.

[@darrensurff8554]

Should have millions of views ,you really need study how to get noticed on KZbin😊there's an art to it ,anyone can do it 😮

[@TedYoderMusic]

Thank you but I’m pretty sure you can’t get views anymore without paying for ads.

[@bmc5015]

Great arrangement. Nice job Ted! But I have to be honest, I hate the clapping. It's just distracting and doesn't fit in with the beauty of the music. Just my useless opinion.

[@abundantwholeness9118]

I had to stop watching the video because the clapping was totally unnecessary and threw the whole melody out of wack. 😥

[@jharvey9898]

Clapping is just another form of percussion. 😂

[@TedYoderMusic]

I get it. It's not for everyone. He's still a great drummer and it's fun to hear an audience try to follow him live.🤣

[@brinkofchange]

Beautiful!!

[@jacksonvandyke]

Smooth, I love the melody and the layers!

[@jharvey9898]

This is a really good one. Puts the pep in my step! ❤️

[@lily-surya]

This is so good! ♥

[@MrJob91]

The drummer sounds sick

[@TedYoderMusic]

🤣 He's got a groove and he's a breathing metronome.

[@sherjde6448]

Really enjoyed the upbeat attitude of the song Ted! So needed during difficult times! Thank you for sharing.

[@TedYoderMusic]

Thank you and you're welcome. My pleasure.

[@amandasandefur1406]

A far different place than the orchard. Love this. Adding cello is very nice

[@TedYoderMusic]

🤣 So true. We had so much fun making this show. Recorded 100% live in one take. I'll have more to share this year.

[@hiw9528]

This is fun and light in dark times!

[@enoodle]

2:54 - 3:25 loved those tasty bass fills and how much it added to everyone's harmony

[@TedYoderMusic]

Toby is a beast. One of the best bass players I know.

[@RobertEilers]

That was great. Love the strings added with you dulcimer.

[@TedYoderMusic]

Thanks so much!

[@iPawsKat]

This song has that east coast feeling. I love it!

[@TedYoderMusic]

I haven’t heard this before. What’s the “east coast feeling”? 😊 I’m curious.

[@jharvey9898]

I could do chores to this music. How about more? ❤️

[@TedYoderMusic]

🤣 Thank you. I'll have more to release this year.

[@conradbuckley99]
