Twiz Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I admit, I originally was looking for some metal video to put up, and I found this. -Not sure how that happened. Anyway, She's got a really cool/unique style. [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyBuCkj2DUg[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Very different - does anybody know if that style has a name? Ive only seen two other players use that weird hand rolling type of playing and they were both playing slack key in Hawaii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 If im correct the Low E is acutal a bass guitar string...dont know which one. It sounds so deep and looks so big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 That was cool, I have seen some videos of very unorthodox styles of playing acoustic in this case her style seems very genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Most us would probably toss that guitar in the trash, but that gal made it sound like a million bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Proof that music is the international language, no words needed......every person from every walk of life can express themselves and we can feel it... It is a rudimentary element of the human experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Yep, taught everything I know:-" .....Seriously, she is awesome. This is real stuff. It's too real to be staged by a professional crew, etc.....plus, there's the guy drinking a bottle of beer in the background. Great stuff....Thanks man.

milod Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I've seen some others do it, but frequently where either there wasn't much in the way of teachers or other learning tools, or where there was a lot. I couldn't imagine trying. <grin> m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 See, that's why I dig this forum. I knew you guys would get it. :) Music can transcend just about anything, and that's why I love it. Good players are good players. It's always inspiring and humbling for me to see anybody approaching the guitar in a new way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunBlues Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I love it... The guy in the back didn't look too excited... One moment he was yawning... .... I wonder if she paid extra to get her guitar relic'd :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Thanks for posting that... i love the way she was looking around like she was bored half the time. Shows she has true command of her style and playing. Those worn out spots on the fretboard are clearly where she plays most, middle of the neck. Most time you see that it's in the first few frets where you play open chords.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Wow, that's incredible. If she can do that with a crummy worn down guitar... well, let's say there's some practice to be had on my end :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouth58 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Great find, thanks for posting. :( Who needs chords and scales when have an amazing style of playing like that.

Witmer Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I liked it so well that I went to find other vids of the same musician... turns out the one you stumbled on was stolen, and it's a guy named Ronnie... all that to say, thanks for sharing. Being able to hear a musician like this makes me thankful to live in today's technological world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Thanks for posting that. That was really a great find. The tune just has a way of making me happy. So much music from Africa has that effect. Mali in particular has some fantastic music. Anyone who likes this type of stuff really should check out the 'Putumayo' label. They do a very wide range of 'World Music'.

milod Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Back when I was in college we had this one kid from Nyasaland - now Malawi - played just a really nice and relaxed guitar style, fingerpicking and holding and tuning the guitar in standard tuning. Neat and very musical tunes and they always seemed, as this one, relaxed. I don't know any other way to describe it. Can't remember his name, darn it. But nobody seemed particularly interested because it wasn't the popular folk music of the time. Sheesh. In retrospect that's kinda funny and sad all at the same time. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
