"View From Space" by Muriel Anderson Performed on Tonedevil Harp Guitar

[@ACR-iu4sk]

Eleven years later and she's still stiring souls with her mellifluous music. Thank you, ma'am, that was beautiful.

[@daf827]

She’s brilliant beyond words.

[@christianjorgensen249]

How much more can a person be blessed?! To have the ability to take a wonderful instrument like this and make it sound so beautiful 🤩 It’s mind blowing to see the kind of talent Ms Anderson has, and be able to share it with the world 🌎 So blessed is she…

[@budda55555]

Thanx Muriel. That was truly something for the heart! Just loved the melody and the harmonics! Well done!

[@burraldo]

Her right hand technique is amazing! The harmonics are beatiful! I love it!

[@richardstevens4230]

I know, it's as if she has 3 hands

[@sideoutside]

I've been playing awhile. Never knew of this technique. It's not that easy to do, especially as fast as she does.@@richardstevens4230

[@jdharris7]

Beautiful harmonic sequence.

[@Pattyoday]

I love this piece. I've been using it for my ringtone for 2 years now....:-) I think Muriel does a great job with it and I enjoy seeing her perform it at CAAS.

[@dlagrua]

That is a phenomenal performance by a true musical artist

[@cygnus_zealandia]

A truly outstanding composition and performance. Listening to it for the umpteenth time on New Year's day 2023. I never tire of music at such a high standard of composition, beauty and performance.

[@BonnieHowlingcrane]

incredibly beautiful ..

[@mikebeckham55]

What an amazing instrument, and Muriel your phenomenal !!! This is beautiful !!

[@timharris1959]

This is so beautiful it fills the space in my heart.

[@dezmondrevord2796]

Murial! Wow! You taught me so many things in that beautiful performance- I hadn't even considered before using harmonics in that way.. A saged soul is truly one that knows things beyond what the years has taught them. What an infinitely intriguing performance. Thank you!

[@pierreballou5438]

That was absolutely awesome, amazing

[@JimmWare]

Beautiful! The best performance of artificial harmonics that I've ever seen.

[@djsullivan9045]

Truly magnificent! The "harp" guitar as well. Thanks Ms. Anderson, Bravo!!!

[@claytonwodham6916]

what a performance, you show your personality .gold.

[@ginjazz2836]

I love how she arpeggiates all of those plucked harmonics. Very talented.

[@BlueParadoxical]

In the first few second I said "wow" out loud to myself. This is incredible.

[@Sir.RickParker949]

If not for Muriel Anderson playing your instrument in this video, I might not have ever found that you existed. This is great because I have always wanted to play a harp guitar since I 1st saw one because I have played guitar since I was 13yrs old but have never had the opportunity to play one but with my style of playing,since my 1st guitar was a nylon string classical I bought new for $50 is why I prefer finger picking over a pick anytime. I live in Kentucky and just might drive out there to see play and buy myself one. I'm looking forward to seeing your selections

[@MarkoRussellUSA]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this !! I just recently started looking into the Harp Guitar and am falling more and more in love with it.

[@tonedevilguitars]

Thanks Marko! Yes Muriel is super talented and I love her original compositions on the harp guitar. The one she plays here is one we built.

[@larrygray1893]

Some of you ought to recall this is not a top notch recording you are listening to! Quit criticizing the tone or what have you until you hear it in DVD, Record, or in person! I have seen and heard Muriel play in person and the instrument sounds great on the guitar part and the harp part! she is an excellent musician/performer, wonderful to look upon, and she sings nicely too!

[@aaronwilson4403]

+Larry Gray I wouldn't say they were necessarily criticizing it. Some of them simply critiqued it instead of criticizing. Offering suggestions or giving your opinion isn't rude as long as you don't mention your opinion in a rude way :)

[@richardstevens4230]

This deserves vinyl. This generation of technology users forget that that digital going through earbuds is ultra low fidelity

[@johnrood9143]

Soundtrack of the heavens. Can't get enough.

[@TheGreenKingdom]

Too beautiful!

[@tonedevilguitars]

Thanks Michael, Muriel is beautiful I know, as is her playing :0

[@marcelbruch4311]

Thank you for this beautiful music

[@andreasionis8599]

incredibile! un obiettivo da raggiungere, chissà quando ma ci proverò! 😘

[@Zampan0]

I think she was sent from heaven.

[@tonysobczak4023]

WOW Amazing. We get to see her live this Friday, in Memphis.

[@lawcch]

spectacular performance on playing harp guitar

[@bruceboome]

So beautiful, so evocative and so perfect.

[@syn707]

I have to give myself a severe knock on my head. I’ve been playing guitar for sixty years….I’ve seen Muriel’s name in early Guitar Player magazine and yet, never checked her out until today. How ashamed I felt. Could fill me post here with a dozen accolades but you long term fans would already have knowledge of them. Better late than never…..😢

[@Big824John]

Beautiful playing as always Muriel :)

[@GreencampRhodie]

Exceptionally gifted lady!

[@555ontario]

Wonderful... have just discovered and soul stirred.

[@jefff2009]

I have never seen one played before. I like it.

[@wendellworth353]

Til I saw this, I did not even know there was such a thing as a Harp Guitar. The new one she had built is a combination of three string instruments, and she does wonders with it.

[@jaimefigueroa4921]

Its simple beautiful, You are great

[@kennethpack1963]

She is really fun to listen to, she does a right good job....

[@torontosorewristhex]

so lovely:) like a canoe ride on a glowing sunset makes me want to find true love that lasts

[@GROOVYJOJO]

I gave up...im fascinated w this guitar and her music

[@poozmeister]

Sweetly played Muriel!

[@malanno]

I love this...

[@kytaristka]

Beautiful!

[@dans459]

Ohm that is a big ET guitar. Beautiful sound and preformance.

[@philm9593]

OMG...beautiful!

[@magnussenderot3042]

I can´t beleive her right hand technique!

[@lolamann110]

soulfly at it's best, ...sooooooo wonderful....... a real artist...

[@DragonNielsen]

Wonderful!

[@mertozelmusic]

Amazing Talent

[@bjean3759]

This song and an original by Stephen Bennett convinced me I needed to get a harp guitar. Ordered it in May, picked up a few days ago. Just noticed she is playing a ToneDevil. Wow. My harp guitar is also a ToneDevil, but nylon. Amazing instrument. Muriel is incredible. Her technique just blows me away. Signed up for a Master Class with her in Santa Barbara in October - hoping just a little of that amazing rubs off. :)

[@tonedevilguitars]

thanks for the feedback Brian! It was fantastic working with you on your nylon string build!

[@klauswhitedreamer]

Like magical stars in the sky

[@torontosorewristhex]

lovely...

[@Guitarrwizard]

Big respect for your work! It's beautiful but I am guitarist too and I know very well what's mean to play a song like this and in this way!

[@Waymar07]

Wonderful playing and instrument! I've been looking for a mountable mic like that, is that commercially available?

[@arcynical8053]

looks like a DPA 4099 to me, great quality

[@123unknownsoldier126]

why does that classical guitar in the background look so gigantic?

[@NickleJ]

The instrument she's playing is (partly) a steel string. Steels usually have necks that taper and a smaller head compared to classical guitars, where the strings run parallel, the neck is wider and has no taper, and the head is bigger. That's why it looks so big.

[@123unknownsoldier126]

NickleJ Okay thanks :)

[@Trollificusv2]

+Wheat Williams Well put.

[@ollimoore]

I know this thread is old, but was just going to point out that there most certainly IS taper on a classical guitar neck, the strings aren't parallel at all. It's just wider

[@mrpinhedz7134]

Also, her harp guitar is designed with neck shorter by the length of the first half step, so it is tuned a half step higher, and it fits in the overhead compartment of an airplane.

[@kareengangell5791]

wow

[@pacoriveraperalta8144]

amazing

Really inspirational. Pity other people have to write such stupid and pointless comments about performing artists.

[@fromindramayucity7892]

Harp guitar 👍🏼👍

[@justgivemethetruth]

What the ? That instrument must have cost a small fortune. Are those upper strings just drone strings to resonate with the guitar? Amazing!

[@tonedevilguitars]

The harp guitar has been around for years, our S-12 model she is playing retails for around $2800 at Guitar Center.

[@leeemo1967]

Angel Fingers!...xxx.

That instrument is a monstrosity to behold

Wow, i'm gonna have to try that.

@@tonedevilguitars I try it with most of my videos. It detunes the sound a bit but sometimes it's amazing.😂

But will it djent?

[@Nizzynaenae]

This could definitely djent

[@litledevel15]

6TF2 it'll sound better Djenting than your compiled garbage, 9 string electric.

that got heated

🙏🏼thanks for sharing 🙏🏼 ✌️Peace ✌️ Please 🙏🏼Por Favor

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

watching her play it just occurred to me that with a harp guitar there is no place to place your palm or plant some fingers, so all of the muscle control has to be in your arm. that would get old pretty quick.

[@danielpauldavis]

look at the muscles on her right arm.

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

@@danielpauldavis and look at the brain in her head.

[@danielpauldavis]

@@tracyavent-costanza346 That's nice. I was answering your comment about how she could hold her arm aloft without a resting place on the guitar. So, uh, did you really not perceive that I was remaining in context, or were you merely eager to charge a fellow human with error?

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

@@danielpauldavis sorry maybe I was having trouble seeing what comment(s) went with other comments. I absolutely would guess that her arms would have muscle development associated with the harp guitars. I didn't mean to imply that I disagreed with you about any of that.

[@tonedevilguitars]

Classical players never usually rest their palms on the strings or plant fingers while they play as some steel string players do. Muriel was classically trained and uses good technique. Also, the guitar is slightly elevated on her left knee raising the neck slightly so your shoulders can stay straight.

[@eliaslasa]

Incrible!

[@Marshall_EL34]

She must be from the N. Korean Philharmonic.

[@davidward9282]

Fantastic

[@jamesha175]

damnit. and to think i was just patting myself on the back for learning a motley crue song. damnit. sideways frowny face.

[@jamesha175]

just kidding - this gal's music is extra beautiful!

[@phyfts]

sounds better with nylon imo

[@wishbone1282]

need higher pitch strings on harp

[@chado3000]

If only I had half the understanding of the guitar that she does...

[@horrorskopf]

The sound would have been even better if she'd used nylon strings instead of steel strings

[@wildbilljr3369]

yeet to strange looking but so beauitful at the same time, all tho it looks very awkward.

[@Darkerfoxtech]

So this is what happens when you breed a guitar with a harp.

[@kamakirinoko]

The "Harp guitar" is just a gimmick. The bass notes get totally lost. She should play this on a 12-string-now THAT would be truly awesome.

[@Tuloisboss]

god, so boring

[@moebadderman227]

no U

[@johneli495]

beautiful
