The Streamlined Man - Michael Hedges cover

[robert1268]

I can't believe you have less than 2,000 views of this. But, I'm glad to be in the percentile that gets it, man! Hey Saffron, have you seen Eric Loy? He's a great guitar player here in Ohio and a Hedges fan as well.

[taproot7]

Sounded great.

[fenderboy88]

LOL i see you didnt try and imitate Michaels strange ''african ritual ''sounds he make at the beginning of the tune and throughout.

Great job by the way ,because this tune is so weird im always afraid of letting others hear it especially in my car because it might freak out some people.

To sum it up your a much better player than i am i need to work on some techniques on my own.

[saffronboots]

@fenderboy88 I certainly wasn't going to try to do Bobby McFerrin's part. Keep it up!

[JJEVO1One]

Fantastic job! Keep on doing what you do!

[U2onetreehill]

Warren, Awesome job ! I'm a huge Hedges fan and you nailed it. Do you feel like teaching us how to play it? I'm brand new at you tube....I mean "new" . This is the first time I'v typed anything on my computer, EVER ! I Haven't looked at your other songs mostly because I don't know how but I'll learn today . Have you done Ready or Not ? Thanks and keep Jammin'.

[KDMAnderson]

Also, I love the overdubbed harmony that you've done. Solid job.

[saffronboots]

Thanks guy.

[KDMAnderson]

Your voice is so similar to Michael that it's uncanny! Very nice cover.

[saffronboots]

I just spent a number of weeks in Jamaica without a guitar. The musical withdrawals were quite apparent. Maybe it's time to post another video...

[saffronboots]

Aww shucks.

[truewealth50]

[saffronboots]

The tuning is FGDGGD. It's in the sidebar info.

[homeskillet1962]

Really, really good!

[saffronboots]

Thank you sir.

[guitarmusic1]

One of my fave Hedges tunes. Awesome job Warren! Didn't realize you had such a good singing voice. Nice harmonies there too. :)

[saffronboots]

Thanks Bruce! Glad you enjoyed it.

[ddcain2003]

That was awesome Warren, I liked the smile at the end, I know the feeling. Guess I will have to take a look at this one myself.

Thanks for the post.

[saffronboots]

Thank you sir. Why don't you post a vid up when you're ready?

[Davidbzm01]

Best cover ive seen of this song.. good job

[saffronboots]

Thanks David.

[Hussman35]

You sing it better than Hedges did, although he was still a better player (yours is good, no offense...)

[saffronboots]

I don't think anyone would argue with you that Michael was a phenomenally imaginative, gifted musician and composer.

[Muhlenburger]

Very nice! I can relate to the comment about one liking his own voice. Frankly, I really like your voice, clear and simple, with just enough expression to convey emotion... and you

re in tune! Wish I were as talented.

So keep it up!

[saffronboots]

Oh, you're as talented I am sure. I've watched your videos...

[Fusionartist202]

Awesome man, stoked to see your post!

[saffronboots]

Thanks Michael. Hey, when did 101 become 202?!?

[Fusionartist202]

202 is my personals,,,, I thought you knew about 202! I hope you'll find some songs you like!:^)>

[fransgreg]

Thanks for the music ! And ... nice to see you smile in this one !

[saffronboots]

You're welcome. It's nice to be able to smile after all this time.

[boboelmo]

Wow you sound almost exactly like Hedges in this one. You're still my favorite subscription!

[saffronboots]

Too bad I couldn't do Bobby McFerrin's part...

[Qpidon]

Warren..., I thoroughly liked this video...that was soothing and uplifting play all the way till the very end. And your voice just is...hmmm ...splendid?

[saffronboots]

Splendid? Wonderful!

[carrolly2k]

As usual, a wonderful performance.

[saffronboots]

I think this is my new favourite vid I've done because I've changed the recording process around, which took a lot of pressure off.

[Pygmalion0116]

you have wonderful voice as i expected!

and guitar is perfect!!

[saffronboots]

Thanks, I never know what to think of my voice. Sometimes I like it, other times, not so much.

[IIIISolidSnakeIIII]

EXCELLENT MAN !

[saffronboots]

THANKS!

[tercoplo]

Fantastic, as usual :)

[saffronboots]

Ah shucks. Was it worth the wait?

[patrickjaang]

So great to see you back in the swing of putting vids up here. OMG, the sound in this one is unreal!

[saffronboots]

Thanks Pat. It's kind of weird doing these things again. BTW, now that the HQ version is encoded properly, you should notice better sound from the guitar. Listen again. Let me know if you want the MP3.

[staffansvahn]
