One of the most beautiful pieces of music one could even imagine
He was truly unique.
IMHO Hedges was the greatest guitarist who has ever lived. Pushed the boundaries of the instrument into infinity❤
Wow❤🔥🔥🔥
I loved the little finishing touch at the very end, the last note. During the applause, the song's not over, the notes are still ringing, then he tunes the bottom string up a minor third, and then THAT'S the end. So subtle. So cool. I'm still smiling.
Thanks for this video, unfortunately I haven't had a possibility to see him when he was in life 😔
His . Music touches my heart and soul. I love his music and play it S often As possible.
Oh my God! Thank you!
wow !! hedges!! I also play guitar
Thank you for this ❤
♡The Happy Couple: "This is a study of - on the guitar - of notes played in unison so i decided to call it "The Happy Couple." “This is a song that i wrote for my guitar and i." Michael + his sweetheart = a happy couple. First Played in Concert - March 20, 1981, Singer's Alley, Ellicott City, MD.🎶The printed music for “The Happy Couple” is sold as an individual transcription. “The Happy Couple” is a profound composition which, in its construction, explores the application to the guitar of a concept which Arnold Schoenberg first termed klangfarbenmelodie (tone color melody). This transcription was developed from the audio recording Breakfast in the Field, Windham Hill Records, 1981, WD-1017. "Rhythm, Sonority, Silence" by Michael Hedges and John Stropes
Simplesmente linda, essa música!
SOOO beautiful!
Wow, the quality of this concert compared to the versions on UA-cam. Please release all of it!
Rest In Peace Michael Hedges ❤🙇♂️
Thank you, thank you for sharing this. This brought tears to my eyes.
There's a reason you don't hear people play his songs..... They simply can't
Fucking hell… It sounds like a whole orchestra joins him in the background…😳
I miss him pretty much every day. No one I've heard has surpassed this kind of composition.
Me too. The reason I play guitar still, is because of Michael.
As a musician almost 55 years this drummer misses him every day , kinda like Jaco....Peace from Detroit MI
Me too. I met him before he left. He was special.
Amazing, thanks.
Thank you!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
seeing/hearing new Hedges recording is like hearing it for the first time. thanks you, what about that next Hot type?
Thank you! 🙂
❤❤❤
Can't get enough of this guy
Thanks, weird coincidence in that I just started playing / re-learning this music today after about 20 years and this incredible video shows up
