Volk guitarists of youtube, an anthology

there's a lot of this (sumatran?) playing w/ these anguished (?) 10 minute songs, videos have a v distinct style

completely different, back to the classical guitar arrangements

this guy is great, a NY pastor, he's got a fun version of freight train as well

Uh-oh, the listening pile just got a lot longer. Thanks!

oddly while working through this thread i too had the urge to try to find indonesian guitar stuff, by looking up track titles from various compilations to see if there are other versions. i didn't have a huge amount of luck, but down the rabbit hole i did find this guy who perhaps could be doing with a better sound environment but i enjoyed it anyway

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIXTKja4uew

nice! what comps were you looking at besides the smithsonian? there must be some sublime frequencies stuff...

my first urge was to try to find guitar renditions of the stuff from the original folkways music of indonesia album, especially 'sorban palid' as that is the best music ever but tragically truncated. i found a couple of versions of that piece, neither were especially striking, but i may just continue down that path and see where it takes me anyway.

There are lots of great videos under the label "early african guitar" -- a label I don't really understand but whatever

yeah i think the early african guitar videos are from footage taken by austrian gerhard kubik - http://www.afropop.org/wp/8638/africa-and-the-blues-an-interview-with-gerhard-kubik/"> http://www.afropop.org/wp/8638/africa-and-the-blues-an-interview-with-gerhard-kubik/ i posted the mwenda jean bosco one upthread, they're all worth a watch tho

merdeyeux please post yr finds!

i will once i get out of this really quite different rabbit hole of indonesian karaoke videos...

just some bros hanging out in their undies.

(not much going on guitar-wise but i'm into the sape, which i hadn't heard of before)

can i post non-guitar street performer tuff to this thread

yeah the sape is apparently from kalimantan/borneo, ppl playing sape stuff on guitar doesn't really work imo but the sape sounds great

i don't think i need to play thread police. there is enough similar non-guitar stuff to fill another thread but anything at all related i'd definitely stick here

i just got obsessed with this guy (lots of stuff on youtube of him)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PCckif3P8Q

i love it.

how does he not have an EP on mexican summer yet

really cool thread, thanks much. still making my way through it.

the 4th post, is that guy mongolian?

yes, i think so. he is one of my favs.

never heard anything like that big palm-wine guitar trio

i didn't find a single decent craviola player on youtube so here's the real deal instead

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or5JAwYUEYY

i've never heard of a craviola before. that's gnarly.

superb, C18th pieces played on a cittern in an edinburgh study is, as far as i'm concerned, exquisite. those pieces are great, last one especially. cittern's seem a bit undignified to play tho.

awesome

she has wacky right hand technique but is making it work. not sure what to make of poss look for parental approval. I don't think I will turn any kids into virtuosos

my first-born will be fingerpicking before she can talk, succeed where daddy failed honey he needs this

as long as you post the results here im in favour. afaict the key thing w/ parenting is to upload as much stuff as possible

I posted another vid from these puerto ricans upthread but I love them so here's more

love this thread and corresponding spotify playlist, ogmor...

wondering if you know of more guitar pieces in just intonation... i really love lou harrisons nek chand stuff

what is just intonation? i've heard that mentioned once or twice

hard to explain b/c there's a decent amount of theory i don't quite grasp but basically in just intonation the notes on the scale are each separated via the same interval- whereas in western tonality there are differing amounts of intervals between notes in any given key. sort of tied to modal theory, like instead of paying attention to key you're paying more attention to the intervals you're playing.

i hope that made sense, it kind of didn't. anyway, this video might convey the idea a bit better (and it's awesome)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw58XT7sPc4

yeah nvm i have no idea what i'm talking about. hopefully someone can come in who actually knows what the fuck is up

Guzal Muminova shows off of dutar techniques, riffs through Uzbek trad, wears a leopard print blouse, keeps toddler at bay, and is all around kvlt:

that's amazing
totally showing it to my students!!

Thanks for fixing!

As I work my way through the Caspian region, Azeri mugham is postrock, Iranian tradtional is kosmische and the Uzbeks are metal.

Iranian traditional is kosmische

iiiiinteresting -- example?

this would be the most krautish example

this is one of the only videos i ever put on youtube, met this guy at an open mic night, really cool, kirar music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRv590rF6yw

that's rad, the only krar player I've heard before is kassa tessema, who I really like, but this guy's strumming style is really different and I think mb the instrument itself looks smaller

yeah you can't see it very well, it looked maybe home made? the body looked like the same material as a solid body electric guitar, and he had a humbucker in it

i ended up doing a show w/him (and global i think?) anyway haven't seen him since but yeah his whole set was great, really hypnotic
