Subject: Incredible guitar... From: Rainbow Medicine Man posted Mon, Nov 2 2009, 2:57pm  YouTube - Amazing Guitar Skills Subject: Re: Incredible guitar... From: Irishtheruler posted Mon, Nov 2 2009, 9:04pm  RMM, The guy is definitely talented. There was careful planning to his guitar selection- he got steel strings, probably mids, on a well-made acoustic guitar that had good resonance. He's very good at the harmonics- the tone you get when you hit a string and your finger slightly remains touching the string and produces two tones. If you know your six-string well enough, you can match the tones to be an octave apart to get your matched harmonics. I only wished he deviated from the 2-3 chords/pentatonic scales that he was strumming, plucking, and tweaking. -Irish Subject: Re: Incredible guitar...

From: Irishtheruler posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 7:44pm  WOW. The most impressive part was when one did the strumming, and the other was on the fretboard. What can I say, they make beautiful music together. I really hate clichés, but I had to use it..... -Irish Subject: Re: Incredible guitar...

From: Irishtheruler posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 10:01pm  That dude's got talent too, Bill. What runs through my head is the endless practice that I can see all of these musicians going through to reach the final product. That and the multi-talent aspect. I know many people that can pick up a guitar and play it well. I know fewer that can sing while playing. The guy that you linked has a few tricks up his sleeve: he's got rhythym and slaps, and can go over and under the fretboard. Notice that all of the links though in this thread, nobody sings in any of them. I have yet to see anyone challenge the almighty Hendrix. That's a package deal for you. -Irish Subject: Re: Incredible guitar... From: BillB posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 11:04pm  There was only one Jimi Hendrix. Subject: Re: Incredible guitar... From: BillB posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 11:39pm  Okay, there's only one Jimi Hendrix, but now there's Mato Nanji. I've seen him play. Unxxxxxing believable. His styling was framed by Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn. And years of practice on a Sioux reservation in North Dakota. Mato Nanji Mato Nanji covering Voodoo Child Mato Nanji covering Red House. He ended the show I saw this. Subject: Re: Incredible guitar... From: Irishtheruler posted Wed, Nov 4 2009, 11:00pm  Impressive, Bill. The main difference I see between Jimi and Mato is relaxation. Jimi had a certain grace and flow to him that's hard to duplicate. To orchestrate the guitar talent Jimi had with his natural voice, soul, and timing was out of the ordinary. It's like he had some kind of natural symbiosis with his guitar that fell into place like a DNA structure or something. If you play his songs on the guitar, it becomes clearer how he was gifted- it's kind of hard to explain without writing a novel. -Irish Subject: Re: Incredible guitar... From: BillB posted Thu, Nov 5 2009, 12:03am  You're right on all counts about Hendrix and his guitar. That's he is a legend. Subject: Re: Incredible guitar... From: hroth posted Wed, Nov 4 2009, 4:31pm  A sign of my madness - I cherish Hendrix as a singer... YouTube - Jimi Hendrix Wind cries Mary I also note with joy how low and tough the fills and solos are. In the 70's & 80's I got very tired of everyone flashing scales and screaming up the neck. I stole the quote from a friend 30 years ago. 'My two favorite guitarists are Mick Ralphs and David Gilmour, because neither can play fast.' I'd expand the list some, but agree with this: A solo should have a beginning, a middle, and an end. Subject: Re: Incredible guitar... From: Gerry Bacon posted Tue, Nov 10 2009, 12:44pm  Incredible, simply incredible. Subject: Re: Incredible guitar... From: kearnivorous posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 2:02am  Very cool RMM, I like the whole playing it like it's a harp. The second one was very cool too, I'd imagine it's hard enough to play by oneself, forget about allowing for another's arms/hands to maybe interfere with your own. For anyone who has a hard time getting their parent permission to play guitar, I suggest you show them these clips. Subject: Re: Incredible guitar...

From: hroth posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 9:51pm  I played in a band in HS and college with a friend who had a double-necked acoustic guitar - 6 and 12-stringed - like the link below. He called her 'Sybil,' for reasons I'll leave to the first guesser. 6ቨ Acoustic Double Neck on Flickr - Photo Sharing! I'll award another 'No-prize' to whoever comes up with the first song everyone played... Subject: Re: Incredible guitar... From: BillB posted Wed, Nov 4 2009, 1:36pm  I've never been in the same room with a double-necked guitar, but here a couple of other odd "guitars" I've never been near either, but I wouldn't mind having the skill to play any of them: Andy McKee - Into the Ocean John Doan plays Fernando Sor Harpolyre 1830 John Doan on Harp Guitar Subject: Re: Incredible guitar... From: hroth posted Wed, Nov 4 2009, 4:16pm  the harp guitar makes me think of my late father-in-law's bandura. YouTube - Ukrainian bandura music Subject: Re: Incredible guitar... From: BillB posted Wed, Nov 4 2009, 4:29pm  And yet another nice stringed instrument out there. If I only had musical talent............ Subject: The lack never stopped me From: hroth posted Fri, Nov 6 2009, 11:31am  Anything worth doing is worth doing badly. I must admit to being slow to draw or paint, because my first efforts would be bad. I think it's different with music - bad practice sessions fade, but bad sketches sit there and remain... Subject: Re: Incredible guitar... From: Gerry Bacon posted Tue, Nov 10 2009, 12:53pm  Screw it. After reading this thread and viewing all the clips, I think I'll use my bass for firewood, lol.
