Ritual Dance

I got some positive feedback on the Jitterboogie video I posted so I made another video of me playing some Hedges' music. This is Ritual Dance from Taproot...I am playing it unplugged so there's no reverb and the sound is pretty raw, but you should get a feel for the song. My only regret is that it's hard to get the slap on this Taylor cutaway guitar.

Have you heard of Andy Mckee? Or Eric Mongrian,.Justin King, etc. If you like this kind of Guitar playing Which your great at! Check these guys out.

Yeah, i'm familiar with all those names you listed. Other than some of McKee's songs, I think they are more flash than substance. Their music is something I'd watch but not listen to. On the other hand, I can listen to Hedges' stuff all day.

very good point. these people are all good, but most of them are inspired (at least indirectly) by Hedges.

Nice cover, I need to learn this song! What's the tuning please?

[mastapimp]

I think it's DADGCC

still waiting:P

[mastapimp]

just get it from the rootwitch website or google the guitar tabs for it.

Amen! The whole slew of new alternate tuning, percussive, tapping etc. players influenced by hedges may do some stuff that is flashier, but they cannot and will not write songs with the technique that hedges did. Hedges played that way because that's the only way he could get out those ideas. Everyone else learned to play that way first then tried to write songs.
