Trevor Gordon Hall - Kalimbatar - (Guitar + Kalimba)

[@TrevorGordonHall]

Wow! Thanks for the comments everyone! When I started this design and idea I had no idea if it would work...and at first it didn't. But I am humbled and honored you are able to enjoy the idea so far. More kalimba and guitar vids coming! Again wow...thanks everyone! Peace. Trevor

[@marklenox]

Found you by KZbin 'mix". Glad I did,! So unique and smazing!! Wow! Loved it!!!! ❤️

[@petermiller1475]

Been watching this since Candyrat posted back in 2011, and I still come back a few times a year because it still holds up as one of my favorite pieces of all time. A shame this dude didn't blow up like he deserved. This kinda music needs to be better heard by people. It's too good to stay hidden.

[@Auriculum]

When i watch things like this, i think about how great it is to know that so many talents are out there, muffling all the noise from radio and pop artists in their own way. Beautiful music will always have their own space in the minds, hearts and ears of those who choose to be a bit more open minded. Thanks Candyrat for bringing us yet another great artist!

[@silusbotwin6076]

Could you guys imagine the amount of practice this would take in order to play all the way through without screwing up? Unfathomable.

[@johnbecker334]

Silus Botwin 2-3 hours a day every day, even when he was in high school, and the rest of us were begging him to go to the mall, movies, etc. Trevor was always immensely dedicated. :)

[@tfriggink314]

Seriously. Every time I went into the music room for chorus, Trevor is in one of the practice rooms tolling away. It was like he was only at school to play guitar.

[@judahmaley2821]

Im sure if you asked him how, he would say ‘Practice, lots of it’ 🙄 Good advice though really...

[@ewarioevan783]

put your own life on the line

[@myyoutube2910]

Probably not as much as you'd think since he wrote it himself

[@AlanOchieng]

10 years on and I'm still searching on KZbin just for this masterpiece.

[@mrtelechi]

Outstanding control and musical ability, watched it three times now...I never tire of watching, a different rhythm pattern with each hand, I love it, brilliant ;-)

[@RossNunamaker]

I've seen Trevor perform live at least a half dozen times, this song three times, and every performance is simply jaw-dropping. He's also a great guy and has been a strong supporter of our local music venue. Glad to see such an amazing video and positive response!

[@redacted6544]

Interesting combination of instruments and very well put together composition! Musical innovation at its finest!

[@SuperRambo111]

damn 12 years really flew by... ahh the memories of listening to this when I wasn't even an adult. Now.. family, work, independence, problems. At least the music stays with us.

[@gitarpickr]

Inspiring. Thank you. This is 3 years "old". There is music that is 50 and even 100's of years old equally inspiring. Skill, talent, creativity... some of the best parts of humanity and the human spirit... ageless.

[@vincentsabatino4480]

Trevor You are an Inspiration to anyone musically inclined, great arrangement for both instruments Love it ! Thank you for sharing this Musical Journey !

[@TrevorGordonHall]

@lucasvalbuena It's called a kalimba. They come in all shapes and sizes but I had to design this one because I couldn't find the one I was looking for. I made it 2 octaves chromatic and it mounts right on the surface of my guitar. Glad you like it!

[@calledbG]

This will never get old for me. I always come back to this video. So soothing in 2020

[@stratsamelting]

Could watch this guy all day..... Brilliant.

[@gardea23]

Great Song! Thanks for letting us use it as background music for Mishka's video :) We love Candyrat Records!

[@gaq1704]

Reply after 10 yrs, do u remember you posted a comment here ?

[@mandicook]

Wow...absolutely amazing. Trevor is setting the bar VERY high for his first CandyRat video. I can't WAIT to see what else he has up his sleeve.

[@kennjay79]

Glad to see the talent getting air time on radio. Heard trevor on the public radio station driving home playing live...made the drive a lot more pleasant.

[@Cyberactive]

I got an email when Candyrat uploaded this and I've watched almost daily since then. This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Love this song.

[@TrevorGordonHall]

Just getting caught up on these comments here thanks! Can't we all just get along!!?!?!?

[@LowStackTom]

my girlfriend and me are both musicians as well (not as good as u though) and we both luv this song of yours. (although she´s a singer and want´s to hear a voice therefore ... ;) ) lovely kalimba :)

[@silusbotwin6076]

You're like some kind of vibrational freqeuncy wizard. *bows before your feet*

[@butterkist159]

Hi Trevor! Huge fan :) can you tell me what make your kalimba is, or where you got it from? :)

[@TrevorGordonHall]

J Butterworth Thanks! this is a custom designed one I had built. Unfortunately there isn't one like this on the market right now...yet!

[@butterkist159]

Ah okay, also, do you have any plans to release some tablature for your incredible christmas album? I'm sure a lot of people would love to learn some of your arrangements!

[@RussGetsIt]

I saw Trevor at the Canadian Guitar Festival competition and he was one of the most memorable of all the competitors, no idea how he didn't make it to the finals. CandyRat made a shrewd move in picking you up!

[@TrevorGordonHall]

@DuskY1991 cool thanks! The rattles I have tried to keep to a minimum by keeping the screws tightened and tines clean...so far it hasn't rattled the guitar yet! it is a work in progress...man oh man did it take a lot of hours!

[@Ramon1233]

When there's a new candyrat artist in my sub box, I don't watch the video immediately. I usually wait a day because the candyrat artists are so good, he could never meet my high expectations. And then he blows my mind again...

[@KateButson]

1:46-2:00 is epic! To say this guy is talented is an extreme understatement!

[@ryanschooler226]

The whole video is epic wym

[@DoctaahMJones]

The ending with the different time signatures just gets me every time. Excellent song.

[@PyrStudios]

This seriously BLEW my mind! I have been playing guitar for 12 1/2 years now and this guy ALWAYS busts out with something new and creative like this! Keep it up man!

[@Nezrimo]

Rpoland. Favourite, and in my opinion. best channel on youtube. a monumental amount of talent comes from CandyRat records. and not one single artist ever dissapoints.

[@erikaburch3209]

This is one the the most bad ass and creative guitar pieces ever written with a mysterious creepy twist ending too! What a ride!

[@vincentsabatino4480]

trevor , Wow playing the guitar the way you do is no easy task but you play both instruments together as one , a pleasure to listen to ! Bravo

[@krclg]

I am never disappointed by the high standard of the muscians that appear on this particular site. Andy McKee was the first guy I heard about and since then the list has grown exponentially. Well impressed with Trevor G Hall. Looking forward to the next video clip.

[@TrevorGordonHall]

@BillyJoeVegas thanks so much I appreciate that!

[@TrevorGordonHall]

Thanks for all the support everyone! Have a wonderful new year!!!

[@MsAppassionata]

One word: AWESOME! I've never seen anyone combine these two instruments before. Hats off to you my friend.

[@blizzardofthemonth]

He came to Columbus a couple months ago, played this, and had the entire room in a trance! Great job, and keep it up! This is amazing!

[@DennisAnthonis]

As if playing the guitar isn't difficult enough, this kid glues a Kalimba to the guitar and plays it too, at the same time! WOW!

[@TrevorGordonHall]

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I appreciate it!

[@TrevorGordonHall]

@TOMMY19MAY sure! this one is a martin omc16ekoa. I have made some slight modifications though. great guitars! also check out anything from Stonebridge. they are killer!

[@bgbg418]

just breath takingly beautiful, every time i hear this composition i find myself in awe of a totally different part, or technique

[@SONGSTICKS]

Nifty idea attaching a kalimba to a guitar. I think they work well together.

[@TnJcanodezo]

now this is what im talking about this is what rpoland videos are all about true unique talent like nothing anyones ever seen i loved this really incredible

[@Toastmaster_5000]

this guy is probably one of the most skilled musicians i've seen in a very long time. give him a wind instrument and you'd probably get a 1-man-band better than most 4+ people bands

[@mickeypopa]

@trevorhallguitar It not only works, it blows minds away! Seriously! This is the best thing I've seen in a while, and I'm sure I speak for everyone. Keep up the brilliant work. Cheers!

[@bliv8282]

killer instrument combo. I could listen to this all day. Awesome stuff man

[@TheFretsons]

Couldn't like this more, what a lovely blend of instruments!

[@michaeloneill7717]

This is so good, it's thrilling. Thanks Trevor and Candyrat; that was the awesome.

[@mikegurnham]

This is unbelievable! I love getting candyrat updates through youtube!

[@Unexpaix]

So happy they picked him up!!! he's played at the Canadian Guitar festival competition and wow'd the crowed every time!!

[@axocaster]

Wonderful playing and an equally brilliant composition. After seeing and hearing this, I'm going to Candyrat Guitar Night here in TO. Looking forward to hearing more of his music. This gentleman is simply too talented for this song to be a one-off.

[@fabricartbyLinda]

@Ryees9 It is called Kalimbatar and it is found on Trevor Gordon Hall's CD on Candyrat entitled: Entelechy.

[@AllthatRemains311]

nothings better then seeing a new rpoland video posted on youtube... makes my day

[@acliquant]

The tapping may not fit the second part of the song so well but your performance makes me happy all the way. Thank you.

[@kevin4god316]

this dude is the best I have seen

[@Beatproffet]

Incredible- what imagination to mix calimbar with guitar in this way. Lovely music.

[@thejerrymobile]

One-man acoustic music machines are filling the once-rich market for back-up instrumentalists! I kid. This is amazing.

[@planetcorey]

Very cool! Diggin the finger piano.

[@BillyJoeVegas]

Trevor, glad I caught your performance on Echoes... (1/29 on 90.7 Orlando) very nice to find you here... Excellent ... being able to see you work your refreshing, innovative style THANKS !

[@marysefonta8371]

Sweet idea Kalimba and guitar for à good fingerstyle ! Very nice to hear.

[@dlogan12016]

Classical discipline joined with modern innovation: true art! Well done.

[@ProperlyStained]

I've been playing guitar since '86... This made me slack-jawed right up until the moment I couldn't help but laugh with pleasure. This is one of those moments when I don't know if I should be inspired( which I am), or feel defeated at the minimal progress I've made in all these years, lol. Great work, not only the combo of instruments, but the song has great flow. Cool groove.

[@WillPrendiville]

such great innovation attaching the kalimba to the guitar.. more please !

[@puppyy780]

This is definitely something. I love it. But, as always, Candyrat finds the TRUE musical talent in the world. This is utterly incredible.

[@elvishabonimana8796]

Have not played guitar for while...this guy is my new inspiration! Keep it up!!

[@julianneloy6010]

This is amazing! I love seeing instrument hybrids like this! Great work! 😁😉👍

[@DreamslideProductions]

absolutely amazing

[@kathleenhannan]

Awesome idea, gorgeously realized! Thanks for the great music.

[@somegeneralist]

Wow. Phenomenal composition. I needed something like this!

[@paveloutericky6166]

The combination with the kalimba is really great! :)

[@MoneyPlus2000]

WOW!!! That is absolutely amazing. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was 2 or 3 people playing... BRAVO.

[@Nygle123]

Amazing piece. Never seen that other instrument he's cleverly mounted on his guitar before. Another new artist discovery.....thanks Candyrat!

[@SeanEmmettThompson]

This is amazing!!! I've always wanted a Kalimba!!! Never thought of this wow!

[@Yek0ms]

You're extremely talented. I imagine how much time it took to master it. Hands down.

[@linaclarin2981]

生怕你

[@bohmaniac]

It must be my 50:th time watching this. Breathtaking performance and composition!!

[@paqman78]

Filmed in one take. No mistakes. AMAZING.

[@omgwtfbbqalekx]

@nancyl2 i commend you for being open/aware enough to appreciate the music on such a level.

[@Lamerville]

Awesome display of musicianship, Thank you for this.

[@nancyl2]

OMG melodious Gem. Just listening to a lecture on Quantum-Physics, waves and how they resonate; the patters shown with a String and a motor and light; I NOW see how this melodious magnificent music makes my body quiver with joy within. This is a most fatabuous performance. I closed my eyes and allowed its healing calming of my spirit and allowed a stillness~~~ I AM RENEWED. Thanks to the Angel BEing that shared this with me at such a pivotal time to show how Music reaches within.WOW!!!

[@Scrubs2U]

It's hard to beat what has already said, amazing is what this is, Thank you

[@Flyboy2938]

This is amazing! I like how unique this is!!

[@CLaSsiCtRaNCe29]

Wow. That is absolutely awesome. Really good tune made using a really intuitive concept. Incredible.

[@ebenewoodluna]

Incredible! Your creativity take us so far......Bravo!

[@Randomnameezz]

@kevinikolass can't tell you how its called, but its an old typical music instrument used in latin and -mostly- south america. It's basically little metal bars that ring out when you strum them.

[@TBooth292]

that left pinky is absolutely incredible

[@yaboyalex8454]

UNREAL. It was great seeing you live at Boak's Bash the other night!

[@beelee1113]

@PiiGG0TT They're different. It's a fully chromatic kalimba, so the top side is all the "white keys", and the bottom part is all the accidentals.

[@Britbikr57]

Loved this and especially the combination of the two instruments. Well done.

[@ChuckDee33]

love some Candyrat talent! very unique style and sound. plus a lot of their videos look like they were filmed in a church confessional.

[@Hue_Nery]

Incredible! Great musicianship.

[@SGSpecial16]

Good vibes; the kalimba puts me in such a divine mood

[@CatherineSTodd]

Wow! Never heard of a "Kalimbatar" before. Wowee-Zowee! This guy is TERRIFIC. Looking for MORE!

[@fistwood]

Damn!! That's some awesome playing!! THE WORLD REALLY NEED TO SEE THIS!!

[@AdamBourgault]

Best Candyrat artist hands down. Maybe he doesn't play stupidly fast like Ewan Dobson, but that's the point. He injects a crap load of emotion into his stuff... It's crazy.

[@pietje32]

Now that is an entire story in 5 minutes. Awesome work!!

[@TrevorGordonHall]

new album and tabs out now at candyrat.com!!! woo hoo!!!!

[@MrFullscore1]

Incredible composition! This is brilliant!

[@pseudogenesis]

@trevorhallguitar Well done, sir! Looking forward to hearing some more great music from you.

[@anmeinersaite]

absolutely amazing & wonderful music ... groove, melody & style! wonderful !!!!! thomas

[@ChristopherJWalton]

Incredible skill!

[@TheGoldenBullet100]

Dang Trevor, nice!!!!! Ya know my brother and I have a huge interest in guitar as well as piano, he's probably been playing for 15 years now, he's just started really immersing himself in percussive style, and it's something I really wanna get into as well and this was really something else man it was fantastic!!! And definitely different haha

[@harkness]

Whoa. Stunning and mesmerizing.

[@beelee1113]

@SirFrankDaTank It's a custom design in collaboration with Mark Holdaway and Martin Guitars, made specifically with resonance and pickup in mind.

[@Sevilou]

not to mention this was best guitar piece i heard in a long while
