Michael Hedges - Aerial Boundaries

Mike lives!!!

[@robertobonani4631]

after all this years..still the best interpretation

[@Shooterpirat]

better than what I heard of the original

[@hugsru]

Check out Calum Graham!

[@zingarovskij]

I can clrearly recall I saw the video in 2008 first time and I was flashed. who could have imagined ... now it's 2019 ...

[@zingarovskij]

By far!

[@mothfeast]

awsome...............i was turned on to Michael in 1984 and i am still amazed by his work,...you played thi perfect man AWSOME!!!

[@g0lliver22]

The nuances you've added at 3:57 have taken this song to another level!!

[@mikemoseley]

Don't ever justify yourself to any negative comments made here. Its a haven for children. Having said that, this piece not only sounds note for note identical to the original but is hugely powerful. I love it!

[@togue777]

Hedges will always be my favorite. I think this rendition does him honor.

[@BrunoSa]

Simply delightful! Mike is glad, I'm sure. Thanks! Keep on!

[@SpeckledPerch]

I love this song !!!!!!!!!!! 500 stars

[@ambienttechno]

This is so excellent. Takes me back to college days...

[@methodinsane]

Ok so MAYBE a few things LOL but jesus dude isn't it a feat that anyone can play this tune? I feel special when I play it and each time it gets better. The guy was a FREAKIN genius. And the best thing? Even those who would not follow solo guitar listen to Michael Hedges and see right past the guitar and into the soul! The eye of the composer!!

[@pointsnorthband]

I'm floored. Truly amazing talent.

[@hypekillacsplaya]

look at that 11 years ago i commented! nice! I still feel the same, was just gonna say, michael hedges was so good. hope people realize that. guy was a master, song has so much to it and its difficulty level has to be at the highest level.

[@ace4evr]

I love Michael Hedges.

[@sambloggs]

I love this piece of music, and have been listening to it for 20 years now. This is an excellent interpretation of one of the best guitar pieces ever written.

[@MetalAddict247]

This guy is the best! He is the new Michael Hedges, I swear, your tunes are so good!

[@AndrewGorny]

it was one of his dreams to go down as a great composer... all we need are people with authority to say that he is... so I'm doing my part :) what a beautiful soul

[@robertoz61]

dear this is the best cover i have listen in the web!!! you are a very great guitarist....you are the Hedges's worthy heir.....

[@nolono]

Speechless ! This is beautiful

[@miccap73]

Still the best version ever!

[@stevethepilot]

Awesome cover. Probably my favorite Michael Hedges tune.

[@methodinsane]

I believe it's because he loves this tune. I like to think when I do it I get the same affect. Absolute genius of a compostion.

[@PhbBen]

An excellent cover of the song... I know for a fact that you can't help but smile when you play Hedges's songs. :) RIP, Michael Hedges...

[@fatdanios]

Well ya coulda fooled me! If I didn't see this vid. and only heard this I would have said "Oh that's Michael Hedges!" Well done, Sir. You have my respect.

[@robertoz61]

dear boy, because i don't play the guitar as you?? your hands are kissed from god...thank you dear boy I hope to see and listen your music for many many years...thanks

[@rootwitch]

I don't know what's more perfect; this performance or the EQ. Every note, crystal clear. My hero!!!

[@Manlyman47]

This song is best when you watch the guitarist playing it. Its the performance as whole that makes this song awesome watching hand movements and all the crazy stuff

[@Shooterpirat]

Best Version - no doubt. Mad respect my guy!

[@MuziquePrincess]

Beautiful!!! No other words! You and michael blow me away!

[@fingerstylin]

man that was the most impressive version of that tune , besides michaels version i have ever heard .dude you really rock!

[@Shawn1Thomas]

Very well played, puts me in a trance every time...

[@Cedrusdeodara]

God I miss Michael. Saw him 5 times in concert. Have autographed worn out guitar picks etcs. Nice repro of this song.

[@MartyHendersonDVM]

You nailed it! Wow. My favorite tune of all. Great work.

[@BrikSwoony]

Awesome to see people keeping alive M.H's Music !

[@kmantis17]

You played that stunningly well - best version I have ever hear (besides the original of course). I have listened to Hedges for over 20 years and you definitely did him proud. Regarding you comments, I believe he was a better composer than a guitar player (if that is even possible). His songs would be just as beautiful on any other instrument. Will history remember him that way? Time will tell.

[@carlitozik]

Wow!!! No words can describe! ;)

[@doda26]

Mike would be proud!! Keep up the Great work!!

[@dirtystrings]

excellent job!!! i understand what you mean by "your version" MH is my favorite,thanks for keeping his music going...

[@Bartbrn]

I have to agree with RegTedSan -- best non-Hedges-himself version I've ever heard. I was fortunate enough to have seen Michael in concert 3 times: 1987, at the "old" Iron Horse," about a year later at Smith College, where he appeared with Leo Kottke -- at the end they did "Pinball Wizard" as a duet, and brought the house down; and art some strange church group meeting house. Absolutely mesmerizing, I still can't believe he's gone...

[@laservius]

I love the fact that you are playing outside. That's where Michael's music should be played; with nature.

[@jayceetoo1]

Thank you for this vid! Brought me much joy.

[@GGBundy]

When I first heard this I thought it was a bit fast as well, but to me, after listening to the original, it's almost dead on. Excellent playing.

[@ohpohp481]

Masterful cover. My favorite

[@Red_Sector_7]

Another fantastic tune is 2 Drax 2 Drive. Amazing talent!

[@Rockingruvin]

Damn. Quite good! Deep commitment gets you there. Hello from 2022. ✊😵‍💫

[@readmore777]

Love this soo much!

[@VirtualVoice2]

The voicing of the accents in the circular licks with the left hand in the last 1:30 is simply awesome - so smooth, clean and beautiful.

[@billjanke72]

I find myself watching this clip every time I need to mellow out. Thanks Andrew!!!

[@catamaranman333]

Brilliant rendition man....I have yet to see anyone but you that can do AB justice!

[@jerrodl]

The slowing down and speeding up is what I like about Hedges' performance...it's what you get to do when you're playing all the parts yourself. You've done an outstanding job capturing the brilliance of his song. Love it and go on and make it your own from here!

[@AndrewGorny]

That's where anyone's music should be played!

[@hamrzlawnlake]

Right...on! Tks for the post.

[@PinkLederhosen]

There's no arguing with beautiful and this is a beautiful sound. Great job!

[@taur611]

Great Autumn piece. Always reminds me of an open field after a harvest.

[@ohpohp481]

Reminds me of watching the geese flying south, nature in it's glory.

[@TransAmFormulaV8]

Dude i have commented before, but every damn time i listen to this i find myself head banging uncontrollably. Anyone that thinks this guy isn't amazing is probably just cynical. This is as good as Michael hedges, and personally i think this recreation is better. Dont bite my head off, just my opinion. And anyone else that says this guy has no emotion, are you serious, look at his face, he is smiling throughout most of it from sheer enjoyment. Plus he is movin with the music. Andrew keep rockin!

[@rberra59]

This composition is a milestone in guitar playing technique, and your interpretation and execution beautifully catches the spirit of this masterpiece. Thanks for sharing, Michael Hedges would be proud.

[@alfietankokleong]

Great! This is my favourite Michael Hedges song. I've got this book too but haven't started on it yet. Well done!

[@ronlweasley]

Hedges Lives! Fantastic achievement man - really awesome!

[@robertoz61]

fantastic...the best cover in youtube!!!!!!!

[@saoirsesmith7583]

So glad I stumbled into this page,, I've loved this song since I first heard it and ran out to get the Hedges cd, Thanks so very much for sharing your beautiful talent, and excellent version of the song, I love it!

[@swindler55]

hey man, i rarely comment on videos but that was fantastic, easily one of the best hedges covers on here. i've been playing for about 8 years and i completely agree; this is one of the most subtly challenging and nuanced songs i've ever attempted to play. your version helped me out a lot with some key sections that i was having trouble with. thanks a lot, keep the vids coming, and long live Michael Hedges.

[@Tomurow]

Would love to see you do a new version but I still love this pumped up one a lot! It grooves relentlessly! :-)

[@snagdabiskit]

Great job Gleb! Hedges lives!

[@Xanaden]

Dude, this is the best cover of this tune that I've ever seen! I know how damn hard this song is to perform live and you did it very well! 5 stars!

[@RLSguitar]

Andrew, outstanding performance. I'm sure MH is smiling down at you from Heaven. God bless.-

[@kenamay]

What an amazing tribute to Michael. Awesome production. Wow! A+++++

[@KingKoboldMcMarco]

GREAAT! not one of those boring fingerstlye cover, what you created is great work!!!!!!!!

[@donholmer5636]

phenomenal! how anyone NOT like this!

[@hereisSteve]

wow wow wow : D just really amazing and inspiring and ... wow ...

[@marcusdolby1]

Wow. I have been a Hedges fan since 87 and this is a fantastic cover. I also play and make my living as an audio engineer. Dynamics were OUTSTANDING and control over tempo was solid. Compression always helps with such a wide dynamic style such as Hedges. Andrew you Rock!! I watch this often.

[@byllsouza]

congratulations...incredible !!!!

[@STICKSnSTRINGS]

This is the best I've heard this song played since I saw MH himself back in the late 80s! Well done my friend! (I'm jealous)

[@Shooterpirat]

Best Version hands down. Superb song, fitting titel :)

[@Shooterpirat]

This is freaking amazing!! Great performance, great song! Such a gem :)

[@Tomurow]

This is one of the most astonishing covers on YT! Love your additional ideas at the end!!!! I have the Michael Hedges book and am finding this tune a wee bit tricky in places! lol! But what a song!!!! :-)

[@ben83x]

absolutely brilliant man

[@MetalAddict247]

I love how you added your own bits in at the end!! Only you could edit a hedges song and make it sound good my friend. Excellent

[@powerparty6]

Unbelievable good!!!!Thank you for this!!!

[@bassmann9500]

This is excellent, I really enjoyed listening.

[@VirtualVoice2]

Christ that's good. So hard to bring out the musicality in this song behind all the technical aspects. This is one of my favourite renditions of this song...including Mike's own performances.

[@Mad5cout]

I will say this. This guy has twice as many hits as both of the Hedges' versions of this tune on here.

[@xlobclob3548]

outstanding performance. Thank you!

[@robertoz61]

you are a great guitarist...congratulation for your job!!!

[@Red_Sector_7]

Very good cover! -- 5 stars! Keep up the great work!

[@johnnytortuga5795]

Fantastic !!

[@johnnyd63]

Just beautiful...Those stop techniques are the whole key to pulling this off."Rickovers Dream" and "Sofa" in my canon,but this one still eludes.

[@fusion87]

Wonderfuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulllll!!!!!!!

[@anisuon]

even Michael would have enjoyed your play! wonderful...

[@TransAmFormulaV8]

Man i have watched this countless times, and commented before but i have to again. I find myself sitting still until about 2 mins in then i cannot stop myself from head banging like a moron. I start shaking back and forth and forward and backward and the music is just in tune with the movement. I mean holy shit man i would love to play with you, i have been playin for almost 3 years now. I have also watched your other vids as well, you rock man, do not let that go to your head though

[@minicrazy1]

WOW... i have this cd, but i never knew only one guitar was the whole thing!

[@efraimquasi]

Thank you!

[@Btaylorgarrett]

That was fantastic -

[@dxdet]

BEST COVER EVARRRRR

[@GreyStrat]

Just great !

[@EzyoMusic]

I've ssen this video before and I'm still totally blown away at how amazing this rendition is. On one hand I want to learn this piece somehow, on the other hand I think it's better left to others. ;)

[@buletpoint]

You have mastered it. txs

[@AndrewGorny]

Ironically, with the exception of my improvised cadenza at the end, and a rhythmic change of the hits in the first "chorus" (that michael himself played!!!), I *AM* playing it note for note. String stopping, and all. Unfortunately the production isn't with a $2500 microphone like it is on some other videos so you hear a highly compressed (and poorly amplified) performance... but I'll post one more legit if I ever decide it matters LOL

[@AndrewGorny]

@@carnanairwyna try some of my other videos! I had just learned this tune when I posted this video.

[@DarrinKobetich]

Badass job.

[@tomaf]

amazing job, and u make it look easy

[@hypekillacsplaya]

very good man, this is awesome.

[@yajnavalkiagargi]

Love the changeups

[@superlobao]

OMG! 3:31 to the end... No words can describe how fking great this was played.
