Kaki King - 15.02.2008 - 24 - Improv

[Guitarbque]

SEXY!!

[54mwi53]

Its a ballsy move to do improv for encore, but Kaki is the definition of ballsy, and definitely pulled it off!

[offtheworld]

because she uses simple basic chords for playing, check antoine dufour, and comapre^^

[79barkingspider]

I can see and hear why some people could find this boring, so stop trashing them. I think it's one of the most fascinating, creative pieces I have ever heard, but what the fuck do I know!

[SHOWTIMEJOHNNYPALBLU]

Uh, interesting omnium gatherum . . . Showtime Johnny Pal

[spystyle]

Awesome :)

[Barnekkid]

She sure has her sounds together.

[69dolls]

i mean how can you not like her?

[bazthehandyman]

yeah.... boring!!

[kelboson]

only one string on your lapsteel?????!!!!!!!

[OrganizationXion]

whoa. Insanely Awesome to the max

[ajaandkimmy]

I have a friend named Kali King and at first I thought this was her. She has the same kind of hair cut and I was just really confused.

Kaki is really good.

[remedy2222]

I think I just fell in love.... whoa!

[jaries12]

When it kicks off at 02:43 I am just imagining some old school surfing videos.. this is so good.

[mfish618]

I think her music is inspired and anything but boring. For those of you that don't enjoy her work....how about going else where. The rest of us don't care about your opinion.

[tomaf]

i loved her work for august rush, but this is just boooring

[Batchylnuevos]

I came to rock, but wound up eatin' a horseradish milkshake.

[christy8907]

guitar god

[yalolol]

Fact.

[jrcath2]

Woooooooow :D

[MrGameposter]

@2558465 How dare you? This is one of the greatest guitarists ever. Find her song, Play With Pink Noise, or Gay Sons of Lesbian Mothers.

[humpmastajoe16]

the end of it reminds me of shoegaze

[aforestsomewhere]

I find it very hard to explain to friends and colleagues why Kaki KIng is my favourite artist.... the closest that I can come is that this improvisation is true music of the mind, or music of the many possible futures, a scientist approaching that moment of eureka, yet not quite reaching it. And that sublime bit at the end, Christ, it's like coming face to face with nature, or mortality, realization that everyone dies sometime but you're still alive...

I'm slightly tipsy, sorry...

[sopansoft]

i feel exactly the same as u feel.......

[sarahdorsey]

"it's like coming face to face with the...realization that everyone dies sometime but you're still alive" - so true.

[JimiXpresion]

I 've been thinking also why her music is so important for my iinspiration and I finaly came to the idea that she uses experimental music through minimal prespective.

experimental+minimal=unique & close to emotions music

[JAKEIZBAWM]

@aforestsomewhere I can see how she is your favorite artist, in my opinion it's probably because you can't hear anything like her anywhere else. You're not weird, Primus is my favorite band. Imagine trying to explain that.

[aforestsomewhere]

@JAKEIZBAWM I know I'm 11 months late and all... but shit, explaining Primus would be on a whole new level.

[wtfhah]

@aforestsomewhere not to all futures!

[awfulguitarplucker]

@aforestsomewhere well dear fellow, if bein tipsy gets you so amazingly close to truth..well..NEVER STOP DRINKING THEN! XD i dig every single vowel of your comment with teh strenght of thousand galaxies! i too think theres no best way to get close to Natural Ancestral Sound PErfection than letting the drive go and let it lead you to teh extasis of senses (and no..im not doped! XD)

[skatergurljubulee]

s'awesome.

[Pablito73X]

Wow!! This is a good Space Rock...

[queely]

heyyy, wow, How do you do that?You know. I'd like to get one, Is there some factory o manufacturer that build that thing. Please write back

[Flid666]

Its a lap steel, and shes a Boss Rc20XL loop station

[humpmastajoe16]

is a boss Rc20xl the type of pedal she uses? and if so, does it work by simply plugging it into the amp and using the pedal to create loops?

[terrapin83]

the last 2 minutes are amazing

[dirtysoles]

Its great to see kaki exploring different guitars I can't wait for her go to india and see what she bring back...

[misssjlovesrichie]

shes always been amazing and she will be ^^

love this song! :))

[Dunpeal33]

F,n awesome. She Rocks like an Angeli from the Deities of Rock N Role.

[eblunot]

Play - record - loop- delay - echo -then play along with what you just did -technobore - if you want to hear a lady play lap steel guitar & make it talk without any electronic gimmicks check out Pur Fe on You Tube.

[durox]

nice tunes :}

[fusion87]

AWESOME!

this is pure progressive!

Is this an inedit song?

I need to buy or download this song absolutely...

Brilliant!

[Jimmie16]

redmgreer you're a putz shut up she's brilliant

[redmgreer]

Let me put this in perspective for you: from a musical point of veiw, this girl is gooood but not amazing. Phil Collins, is amazing, Jimi Hendrix is amazing...THIS GIRL IS NOT!

i never said she was terrible so stichparadox, get rid of your hardon for her...shes not amazing

[jjkrause84]

What kills me is that I probably wasn't doing anything on 15/2/08.....I coulda been there!

Fuck!

Oh well....very cool stuff! Nice to see a little innovation once in a while, eh?

[Vantazzy]

After hearing this.. At that instant, I am addicted to this music from this artist...

Damn... Another one to persue in music... Damn! Damn! Damn! Life is already so short...

[TuMira85]

UGGGGGH THAT BEAT BE SLAPPIN

[Georgiaguy93]

Her version of Ritual dance was pretty good.But if you want to here a great acoustic guitar player look up Andy mckee

[a8ingemini]

Drifting. 'Nuff said.

[egits]

Music doesn't have to be omg amazing as long as the vibe is good. I have to say the vibe is good here trip induced unconsciously or consciously good shit! peace.....

[redmgreer]

sounds really good for performing good job :)

alot of people are saying this is pure amazing stuff, but it really isnt super talented. Pretty basic stuff. I dont play guitar...yet, i play other intstruments, but i know that this is not "super talented omg soo amazing" stuff.

[egits]

That's a very boring opinionated comment and so is mine!.. i guess....

[stitchparadox]

Wow that is a very opinionated criticism from a person who does not even know how to play a guitar. And pretty much that's is LAME! To every man his own instrument. It's like me criticizing a pro-football player when all I know is curling. Make it a better world and STFU!

[redmgreer]

some people just cant handle the truth....

[stitchparadox]

You got it straight in the bulls eye. Like you... you can't handle the truth about how amazing this Kaki girl is. One word for you smuck... ENVY!

[redmgreer]

sorry, how old are you? really...i made 1 comment, its 1 comment, and THIS GIRL is NOT amazing in this video...

good, but not amazing...

frig man, leave it alone ok? lol growup!

[murrelino]

well I do spend a lot of time playing guitar and honestly phil collins is a good songwriter but his guitar is mediocre. jimi hendrix is a god on the guitar. Kaki King is the first female on the rolling stones guitar god list so I think you'd have to agree that she is indeed pretty amazing = ). no need to get personal about it tho guys/girls

[BeretCyclist]

That was awesome.

[davo171]

SUPER COOL ROCKABILLY-TWANG!

[fusion87]

Absolutely Amazing!

She have just music in her blood.

[CrunchyBurrito]

I loved how she slapped the guitar and use all of these looping techniques

[704studio]

John Fahey would be proud....

[jjaaddee112233]

She is the most amazing guitarist ever!

Disagree if you must.

[Twiggles02]

I strongly disagree, she has some talent and is not a bad musician, but you can't honestly say she is the most amazing guitarist ever. There have been plenty with better technique, more passion, and stronger inspiration.

[jjaaddee112233]

Well in my book here are the list of the top three amazing gutarists ever:

Nancy Wilson

Kaki King

Led Zeplin

In MY opinion she is one of The top three most amazing guitarists ever! I have a right to an opinion, as do you.

[Twiggles02]

You're opinion is shit. 'Led Zeplin' ? Are you fucking serious, i can already tell you have no idea what you are talking about. In fact, I pity your stupidity.

[jjaaddee112233]

Leave me the fuck alone. I pity your stupidity to feel that you have to bash peoples opinions on youtube just to be an ass! Led Zeplin IS a great gutarist! Its not MY fault you probably listen to shit ass music like Jay-Z. I DO know what I'm talking about! LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE ASS HOLE!

[jjaaddee112233]

By the way, I meant to put Jimmy Page. Excuse me for accidentally typing the wrong thing.

[jjaaddee112233]

BTW everyone, I meant to put Jimmy Page. I accidentally put Led Zeplin.

[a8ingemini]

1. There are two p's in 'Zeplin"

2. His name is Jimmy Page.

[jjaaddee112233]

I know. If you read the other comments I said I meant Jimmy Page. I was just not thinkning when I posted that comment. And also, I'm so terrible at spelling tht I just spell it the way it sounds lol.

[a8ingemini]

Si mon. I had to bust a lil' sackage. The red lines under words should give it away. Oh well, her pink noise groove really reminded me of Andy McKee's Drifting. I play guitar, bass and banjo some. With my limited understanding of music, I am in awe of anyone who can compose anything like that. Spiral out, keep going...

[7hrice]

And two e's..Zeppelin.

[420TheDudeAbides]

Kaki is so talented & amazing.I love her music.

[GK456html]

She's freaking amazing I don't get why some people don't like her. :(

[Tishagi]

They have slim expectations of what music can do with itself, if you even take it as 'something'. lol

[nicksesta231289]

@GK456html becouse her sound is muzak

[Auntchovi]

WOW! Thanks so much for capturing this and posting. Kaki's the most exciting artist in music right now and it's awesome to keep up with her live performances.

[sacmutt]

wow she just pulled that right out of her ass? then i wish kaki would do an improv piece at every show.

that was amazing.

[rockinhardyea]

that was so awesome!!!

[Hopjumpskip]

why didn't they tell me you were just down road!??!!!!

[melunchbox]

amazing

[winkedinkie]

how she could just pull it out just like that...now that's love.
