Navy Vet. Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Some months ago I got turned on to a band-Kentucky Headhunters, they've been around for some time. Never heard of them or their music, but they blew me away. What band or singer that you recently got turned on to that blew your mind.

LarryUK Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I look on YouTube a lot and I came across a guitarist, Javier Vinas. This is a great album. I bought it for my car. He's a tasty player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filbert Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Tragically Hip. As a Brit, I had never heard of them until I read some references to them in Neil Peart's 'Travelling Music' book and figured I should listen to them. Glad I did. An absolute tour-de-force, both musically and lyrically. I describe them to friends as the 'best band you never heard of'. I became a massive, massive fan and was absolutely crushed when Gord Downie, the lead singer passed away recently. Not long after he died, my dad also passed away. Was especially poignant given that we both used to go to an acoustic guitar club at the local pub every Wednesday and we used to play a Hip song, Fiddler's Green together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's good to get out and explore every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm crazy about Celtic music, may be why I dig Van Morrison so much. This cat is very good. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays for Edgar WInter, but he's a fantastic player. He does reviews on YouTube and his playing is so good and original, it's makes you want to give up.

The cat playing the Yamaha acoustic, do you know what tuning he's in? It ain't standard tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) This.. Mainly because I have just never really heard anything like it before. A Japanese band called Maximum The Hormone who mix between like five genres in the same song, so they go from Thrash to Death to Rock to Funk to Jpop lol 🙂 .. I don't think many people on here will like it much.. But if you decide to watch I just say, be patient.. Its totally bonkers... This is just totally nuts...

Open G or Open D I think - I forget which one. I always play it in standard tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This blew my mind, but not in good kind of way. This music is definitely an acquired taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
