Kaki King - Neanderthal (Live)

[TheLOXBOW]

Kaki King doesn't just play an instument.....she feels it. Close your eyes and listen, and you could take a bite. AWESOME TALENT. I Love this amazing womans ability!

[Elprofetadetrana]

me encanta tu música, tiene mucho power y tambien es muy placentera

[lamenor5]

Amazing!

[woundupuy]

my favorite kaki song hands down

[juliMathers]

Mi Dios! esas uñas...

[mitchgunthorpe]

I love you very much Kaki King.

[paolitas7]

beautiful song! is really interesting the sound on this guitar, Ovation!

[iSabotage]

...She isn't supposed to be Michael Hedges...

She's Kaki King, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

[KOC1331]

I love this girl...

[derris]

yes it is a fantastic song

[46747]

Not very good definition or sound quality, but the song is fantastic! Thanks for uploading it.

[johntrik]

Kaki King writes the most interesting music in the steel-string community in the last 5 or 6 years managing not only to avoid the cliches of Windham Hill that so many others followed but to expand them.A true talent.

[usasordson]

Ive read that this song is actually an autobiography about her life as a neanderthal, theres no words because cavemen cant talk

[inflamesrgods]

does anybody know the tuning for this song? or where i can find a tab? that would be awesome thanks.

[SKULLFU6C6K6ER]

are they having a youtube-comment-fight?

[tevian3]

ouch my fingers hurt from watching that

[random903]

her transition from smile to performer's trance in the first five seconds is priceless

[r0cd0x]

ahahahaha random903 i didnt notice that at first, but quite funny

[TurkishTuranian1]

Kaki, gitarın kralıdır.

kaki, is king of the  guitar.

your performance wonderful in turkish ntv

[thinkbeforeyouleap]

She is an idiot, this is what she said about Rush "Somehow, Rush can still sell out arenas. If I was sitting in row one, I would take my chair, unbolt it from the ground and run away." --Kaki King

Yeah, she is brilliant isn't she? Hell, I have yet to meet a musician that doesn't like Rush so she must not be one....

[DogEater316]

How many times do you have to leave your bullshit on here?

[thinkbeforeyouleap]

Maybe you should try refuting it and showing that it is bullshit...What's bullshit is a musician who expresses instrumental priority in her music, but can't acknowledge that same priority in others. I don't care if she doesn't like the music of Rush but you would think she would be able to discern talent from taste. You don't have to like someone's music to know they are talented and a musician more so can pick it out.....

[DogEater316]

What's irritating is spamming every Kaki King video just because she didn't like a group YOU do. That's bullshit.

[thinkbeforeyouleap]

First off, I haven't hit every video here. Second, it's only spam if it's not true so she deserves the criticism. Lastly, you are still saying this about "liking" music that I like. I posted this last time, "I don't care if she doesn't like the music of Rush but you would think she would be able to discern talent from taste. You don't have to like someone's music to know they are talented and a musician more so can pick it out..... ", which clearly shows the contradiction of your argument.

[trewdab3]

If you don't care, then why post bullshit?

[thinkbeforeyouleap]

Do you actually read...ever? I said I don't care if she doesn't like their music, BUT a musician should be able to discern TALENT even if you don't like their music. What I care about is that she makes ambigious statments which make her look like an idiot. She is a lesbian, would she leave an ambigious statement implying or inferring she is against gay marriage? Nope...classic contradiction. It's like finding a DVD of Stevie Ray Vaugh saying Hendrix sucks, but not WHY he sucks....

[inflamesrgods]

you're just an idiot arguing over nothing. Do something useful.

[thinkbeforeyouleap]

That's a great argument. I need to try that in Math Class:

Teacher: "2+2=4"

Me: "you're just an idiot arguing over nothing. Do something useful."

Teacher: " I stand corrected, call the department of weights and measures, logic has been refuted"

Maybe you should show that the argument is nothing instead of insulting and hiding. Your like people with bumper stickers on their car.....all statements and no substance...

[inflamesrgods]

you're fucking stupid. You know it we all know it now shut up and use that great logic you seem to have to do something useful. If you actually did have any brains you would stop wasting your damn time on youtube arguing over nothing. Go do something fun and happy rather than argumentative and worthless.

[thinkbeforeyouleap]

Let's see, refute the argument since I started it? No. Continued to insult since you have no substantitive premise to stand on? Yep. Appeal to authority of others by speaking for them without conuslting them? Yep. You claim that people are wasting their time arguing here on youtube, yet you have been doing the same thing, so your contradictive hippocrite as well. Calling someone "fucken stupid" but logical in method....priceless. I predict more of the same since it's all you have.....watch..

[trewdab3]

...wow, super nerd

[thinkbeforeyouleap]

*Looks down, nope, no calculator and pens in front pocket, then again T-Shirts don't have front pockets* That's it? An insult I haven't heard someone use since 6th grade. I love when people try to say someone being smart is a bad thing, it speaks volume of the statement "Don't judge lest ye be judged", which you have crystalized. Cletus, you put down them fiddle sticks and get some reading on, you sons of the soil gonna have a busy day I reckin commin soon, boy howdy, darn tootin....

[inflamesrgods]

stop worshiping ayn rand stop talking and go do something. im telling you for your own sake stop arguing for no reason. isnt there anything you want besides random people on youtube to tell you you're right about your little comment insulting this freaking incredible musician? the logic i use is that Kaki king is fucking incredible. So what her music tastes are different than yours. Im sure you like some music or something without being able to explain yourself perfectly.

[thenerocomplex]

i find its better when you like something and you cant put into words why. i think that's more powerful and proves how transcendent music can be.

[cowzappa]

beautiful

[vegaramz]

a magic through a woman's hand

[tevian3]

Oh my god this is totally unique! I've written guitar music for 14 years and have yet to write something like this. What a talent she is. I hope she never forgets it or changes too much

[thenerocomplex]

when i play this song on may ovation it's like ifeel the dinosaurs rising through the sound holes. she really evolved alot from this style too. she's one of my heroes.

[HeyDropthat]

Dude do you have tabs for this song? Just got an ovation and Ive been noodling around in low c trying to figure this beautiful song out. I cant find tabs anywhere.

[guitarman1231234]

song has so many layers, you have to listen to it 10 times, to only begin to fully appreciate it!

[thenerocomplex]

agreed. i at first thought it was kaki letting her guitar babble. and then later on i really heard all the beauty in it. and now i can play most of it on guitar. really beautiful composition...

[inflamesrgods]

dude whats the tuning? by the way you guys are totally right, i heard this song the first time and didn't really understand/follow it. Now its literally my favorite song of all time. I know its a shit load to ask but if you could tab what you do know out i would appreciate it more than anything.

[thenerocomplex]

here, she's playing it in CGDGAD. on the record she plays it a half-step below that which is BF#C#F#G#C#. The tabs are on thekakikingforum . com. just ask there.

[masuarez1]

It's sleep inducing.

[jdlm9]

if by sleep you mean that it makes you fly, then yes it is..

xD

[inflamesrgods]

in my opinion the best acoustic piece ever written.

[crunkykong]

Its most certainly one of them.

[inflamesrgods]

you know of anything like it man?

[thenerocomplex]

definitley yeah. i think it may be 'lies' though. or 'magazine'.

[xlou2]

this is beautiful
