Unreal playing man... Many compliments!!! Can you please tell me which guitar is that?
-
We've spoken before... it's a wonderful rendition. Heavy burden... I don't agree with the tempo critiques either. I think aerial boundaries was always about the echo...
-
dude, this is amazing, you should so make a lesson video on you tube for this song!
-
I love this piece of music, and have been listening to it for 20 years now. This is an excellent interpretation of one of the best guitar pieces ever written.

This composition is a milestone in guitar playing technique, and your interpretation and execution beautifully catches the spirit of this masterpiece. Thanks for sharing, Michael Hedges would be proud.

I can't even believe people are talking about the tempo, you sound great! It takes somwone special to even get it at all. I met mike and talked shop. He was going to release an album with bass and drums if you can believe that! He was very excited about the prospect, as was I! I miss him. you keep it alive, It, him and you have that Hendrix thing. Wild, loose and different,t with conviction!
Love it!

!@#$ing outstanding
When I first heard this I thought it was a bit fast as well, but to me, after listening to the original, it's almost dead on. Excellent playing.

@GGBundy Yeah, a lot of people have been talking about the tempo... I am fast, about 8-10bpm too quick. But a big issue is that Mike progressively drags on the studio version. By the end of the piece, he's down a good 15bpm from where he started. This is probably because he had to throttle back for the four finger figure in the middle of the piece...
I stay completely on tempo front to back in this performance. So the places where Hedges slowed down on record are definitely going to sound fast.

What process did you go through to learn this song?
Use a tab? Watch videos of him a million times?

@halfstepdown88 Basically I started working it out by ear, having a little knowledge of what's happening technically. and then I bought a Windham Hill video and gleaned the rest from MH's performance. Then I got a tip from a friend about Michael's string stopping technique. I'm sure I don't do this song exactly right, but it's close enough for me to be satisfied :)
