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.

this is my new fave ilm thread

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)

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

glad yr enjoying it! I love how microtones are a part of guitar esp slide playing. Harry Partch made some 'adapted guitars' and john schneider is playing a ten string one here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI0nGL8Bkbk

get a load of that fretboard. he's also got a guitar with separate, movable frets for each string to play in whatever tuning you want

friend just pointed me in the direction of this dude -

i think he fits in with this thread?

also let me join the chorus saying this thread is wild

I updated the spotify playlist global mentioned upthread btw if anyone's interested. it's an imo quite compelling mixture of andean mountain men, 18th century germans, slack key guitar, muscovite gypsy tunes, zimbabwean ragtime, single-string stomps, brazilian hillbillies etc. that has some affinity with the spirit of this thread in terms of joining the dots of guitar music world-wide.

volk guitar - http://open.spotify.com/user/ogmor/playlist/6YJVAWIuy5Xk2wBtbI4zj3

spotify inevitably has less of the coarse appeal of amateurs/bedroom recordings/street performers etc. and I've been listening to a lot of virtuosic guitarists lately anyway, but the playlist is a mb better way of trying to give a sense of the guitar as an instrument/sound-world/constantly-evolving set of idioms & styles.

also, really like this guy's playing, he has a few videos up but this is gorgeous -

i could derail this thread with dozens of slack key videos but i'll just post one at random

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WD1y679R4c

dude on the right is a living legend and a solid bro

all slack key is v pertinent to this thread post away!

the cicadas in the background here are sublime

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 not playing for me but if it's this it's A+

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jgJKDtdTEA

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
