type3 , first off thanks for the uploads, you are doing GREAT WORK!
i have a question for anyone that may have the answer....
i have a huge discography file of michael from rapidshare and guess what, over the course of time the password didnt make its way over along with these files! does anyone know what this password is? ive tried all sorts of things, kinda sad that this discography file is still downloadable, but with no pw.. thanks, and keep on listening to this great music, peace.. Evan
What is he doing when he comes over the top of the neck? Is he fretting a note or is it a harmonic? This is simply outstanding music. I feel like I'm an infant.
Every time I listen to this song, I never want it to end. To me it's the sound of life or contemplation of life. Never met the guy, but I sure miss him.
Magnificent beyond description. I had the pleasure of seeing Michael open for CSN at Cal Expo in Sacramento in 1992 and was blown away. This is my favorite of his.
I watch these videos and I am filled with emotion watching music pour out of him, and then the music stops and I am sad all over again that he is gone. Rinse, repeat.
Hey type3... I was just watching this and thinking about learning it... maybe you're right, but those min7 chords in the harmonics and the 4th on the open bass strings is making me think the tuning is different...
No, you are RIGHT! Not sure why I messed this up. I checked the Stropes site and its D2G2D3G3Bb3C4. My sincere apologize to anyone who has wasted time on the tuning I had up. I changed it.
This is priceless. Check out the version on Live from the Double Planet. Imagine playing this PERFECTLY in front of thousands of people -- right up to the last harmonic. Nothing, nobody, touches that performance (to me)...
I rank Hedges in his own style at the same level I would view Reinhardt or Bream. Make no mistake, this is the most recent display of musical genius I can find. What a haunting performance.
A few times in the history of man, an artist will come along. A man with a brush, a woman with an idea, and a man with a guitar. Be glad that you're among the few that recognize how great this is
@schuey999 Nah... there's always someone living somewhere, with such passion for what they do. There has always a man with a dedicated brush, a fighting woman who is always breaking the gender barriers, a man with an musical instrument. We are always among them... the only thing most people lack is the confidence to search for who isn't being talked about.

@stirfoo
he is fretting a note and doing so in such a way as not to interfere with the harmonic which is ringing while he frets the bass line.

I was just playing Gregg Cagno's disc _Present Moment Days_, and he blends this song with a song he cowrote, "Lost in Durango".

its so stunning to listen and watch him. i hope people recognize his genius hundreds of years from now and his music lives on.

On top of everything else, he's a masting at writing unusual disjunct melodies that somehow work so well.

Listening to each of his songs is like taking a journey. Don't know where they will take you but by the end you are happy you took the ride.

When I die, I want to be traveling thru space at the speed of light towards the Sun, listening to THIS!
Ditto on the Cal Expo CSN show in 92. Ingrained in brain...

It's Michael. In his last years he was practicing yoga and became quite thin.
