Stretching the Limits of the Acoustic Guitar | Trace Bundy | TEDxBoulder

[@douglassmith9445]

It drives me nuts when over a million people can watch a video and no one chooses to give it a like. I am sure more than 16k people were inspired by his playing. Give back people.

[@cnred7987]

dude who cares, they mean nothing, its a youtube video

[@blucat4]

Yeah because he's full of himself but not really any good, any decent guitarist can do this or better, and he's ripping off U2 as well, dude you've been sucked in, this is not worth my time. Listen to Marcin if you want some real talent, skill, and good music. Or Tommy Emmanuel, have you heard of him? 🙄

[@loganmowry2687]

He played at my high school years and years ago. I still remember getting full body chills when he played Where the Streets Have No Name

[@greymatters14]

He’s defiantly put in his 10k hours. Fantastic musician.

[@Po1itica11yNcorrect]

Some people have just a ridiculous amount of talent. He is one of them.

[@mathiasklement3924]

ja, tatsächlich!

[@mathiasklement3924]

whats behind?

[@blucat4]

No, not really. Edge from U2 is better. Or the kid down the street.

Michael Hedges-Aerial Boundaries (1984) was the groundbreaking album that shook the Acoustic Guitar World. RIP Michael Hedges (1953-1997).

I love how he just CANNOT stay still! The music is flowing through him. He is music.

I hate it, guy is in la la land.

[@billyyee1618]

This is really great. He really made the guitar sing with sweet melodies and harmonies. I can hear him play all days... bless

[@ricknelson7824]

After seeing Trace twice in live concert, in a very small theatre; I am still in awe at his talent and abilities. Simply mesmerizing.

[@patmccrotch5373]

A very similar artist to Trace (this is my first time discovering Trace by the way, and wow, what an amazing, creative talent!) I've discovered is a guy named Mike Dawes.. check him out if you like Trace, hopefully I hit the nail on the head and pointed you to someone you haven't come across yet just like I did with Trace. Cheers!

I love how he explains the story behind the music,I do get that wild adrenaline rush flowing vibe when you get get a tone trying to evolve around your head ready to be sorted out and you suddenly get restless ready to play

[@TheMcquabbie]

A true artist that appreciates music theory, can paint a picture in your mind without lyrics. True art, 👍

true but there is always a title to the song isn't there, and some backstory.

Talent comes from practice and perhaps genetics. I fail to see how it could come from anywhere else.

[@AUNitsua]

An artist that is as beautiful to watch play as it is to listen

[@CinJyxxe]

What I think is absolutely wild is his complete comfort and consistency. He must have practiced these things thousands upon thousands of times, trying out all sorts of different techniques and figuring out a way to not only integrate them into a song, but do it so seamlessly that his playing looks natural. In his last song, I was watching his strumming hand during the "singing" parts, and his hand movements were so perfectly consistent that I couldn't even tell when he was switching to different strings for the melody OR baseline. He was using what looked like all five fingers on different strings to strum in two different rhythms, and the pattern was so clean that it was hard to tell which finger was actually hitting a string at any time. He's so good. That is simply incredible.

[@ronaldjacobs8169]

So many dislikes, so les likes? I don't understand. Because this man is amazing !!!

[@princeb.thoppil3620]

[@arlinegeorge6967]

Beautiful amazing soul . Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.

[@ride-paddle-repeat]

This brings me back to the days when I would replay "duelling ninjas" on the DVD in slow mo trying to learn it. So much talent before Andy Mckee and Candyrat became big.

[@harry_burnsworth]

Man, agreed. Mckee and the folks on the Candyrat label almost made me stop playing guitar, knocking me down a few pegs because for a while there, I thought I was actually good.

[@nsaik]

That album was seminal in my guitar education. Actually, a couple buddies and I worked it out so that Trace came up to Canada and played a show we could attend. It was amazing. Back in the green-pedal DL-4 days.

[@TOCS94]

Everything is build on the shoulders of what came before. Recording acoustic guitar solos wasn't really a thing until Fahey got in the game and started Takoma Records. Hedges came later with an entirely different approach through Windham Hill. It's not that different from how people carry e.g. the blues or jazz tradition in different directions today.

[@SerkanErturk]

Delayed sound becomes the background melody for the tune, genius!
