Right here.
Just discovered this. Pretty cool.
I am! And Keith is fantastic!!!😊
Doesn't matter how old you are, there's no way someone could not find this amazing.
Old folks LOVE those who are at the top of the game, especially in music.
Keith is so good. I used to work at Gibson Guitars. We worked in the same building and I got to hear him play daily. Great player, great guitar builder, and nice humble guy.
Wow!!
I get the feeling he had the entire song written in his head, then created the instrument he needed to play it.
this instrument has actually been around since about 1900, but has never been widely used because of it's complexity and cost to manufacture.
Love this comment
This guy is awesome with a Cajun sause
Why are songs like this NEVER long enough?
This guy at the music store:
"Can I help you?"
"Yes, I need some strings."
"What kind do you need, 6,12, bass, mandolin, lute, piano, banjo, ukulele, Chapman Stick, clavichord, harpsichord?"
"Yes."
MurphyMonster 😂😂😂😂
jajaja xD
Way tooooo funnyyyy...
Wow, as a guitarist working with six strings, don't know how this guy does this.....
Casi entiende. Jajaja
Hey everybody, I'm stunned and happy for Keith that this video I produce almost a year ago has caught on all of a sudden thanks to #CNN exposure and many others too. I'm just glad that a unique creative person such as Keith gets some deserved attention. The fact that he built a masterpiece of an instrument and then mastered the playing of it is pretty astonishing. I'm so glad to have created some videos that help bring his artistry to a wider audience. Enjoy!
It staggering you put this up 10 years ago and people are still listening and still commenting.
These are the sorts of skills Western society is barely hanging onto.
So thanks for keeping this alive.
#CNN is garbage. Keith is with out a doubt one of the most talented people in my life time.
I've listened to this about 30-40 times.. and i still can't get over how AWESOME this sounds!
That's all?
Masterpiece enough said. Pure talent and creative brilliance🎸🔊🎶🎵🎶
my grandmother passed away last night, Yet i find myself listening to this song "Ancestors." may all the dead rest in peace if you ask me, and so does she
After hearing this I had to pick up my guitar and play for hours to still feel comfortable saying that i play guitar. This guy is incredible.
How can anyone dislike this?!?!?! This is absolutely incredible!!!!
If Medley's music isn’t beautiful enough, he built the guitar he's playing. Artistic genius.
Not true. These are harp guitars. Lots of them around.
@@TheSiameseDreamer he built the one he plays
@@ryandavidson2502 Impressive.
Pure genius! Very captivating music.
If you just saw the guitar sitting against a wall you'd almost think it was a gimmick. But when you hear him play it, it all makes perfect sense. The guitar section provides the melody, the sub basses provide bass notes to make it sound full and dense, and the super trebles provide a beautiful and colorful effect. I love that he actually makes use of the entire instrument. What a fantastic player.
I totally agree with your post. I'd have posted my own, but you worded it like I would have. Keith Medley is an excellent, super-talented guitarist.
And he builds them himself, his own design!!
@@Speedydogful k
@@Speedydogful just Damn!
You don't need a songb,
There are people who have the gift of making music. You are one of them.
this is by far the greatest piece of music I've ever heard in my entire life
pure genius
Can’t get enough
My, Oh, My ....... May the powers that be bless him for his playing ........
Watching this again a few weeks later and i gotta say, People are rad! Life is good! I thank existence for individuals like this everyday! Truely inspiring!
+Future Consequence Well said Sir!
I've come back to this track so many times.. it's a true masterpiece!
I love how musicians have unique voices through their instruments. Some sound alike, and others sound completely different. This is totally unique. Thank you Keith, for sharing your soul with us.
THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUND EVER!!!!!
Hey man, I'm 17 and I love this song, loved this kind of music since I was growing up in various arid parts of the united states. Thing song takes me back to when I was walking on the salt flats, just dried cracked mud for miles and miles. Nostalgia makes you feel old, really old. I feel for you man.
The ending....It's so mystical.. One of the few remaining Talented Artists...
I love it when you find people that play from their soul you can hear it.
How a person can don´t like this video?
You don´t need to watch the video or listen the song to like it...you just need to see the instrument the guy is playing and you already like it!
10 people definetly missed the like button!
Keith Medley's control over the tone of every single note, particularly evident in the bends, slides, and harmonic tapping, is truly mind-shattering. That's heaps of practice hours right there, ladies and gentlemen. Heaps.
Now that's what I call a true musician.
This is, without a doubt, my favorite video on the internet. This man is a musical genius and I would absolutely support a documentary about this process!
Really beautiful sound, so light and elegante 👍
Those who criticize the smallest thing in this piece of music must live a miserable life.
and obviously without a high level of intelligence!
hmm, this is a bit too short for my taste... :P
The thing is, there are no small things in this music.
J'aime beaucoup cette musique, nettement moins votre commentaire. Tous les goûts sont dans la nature my dear
63 HV NONE.............
Closest thing to "holy" music I've ever heard.
10 Stars!!!! this is so beautiful strumming my soul strings to tears
9 people who watched this video do not understand the beauty of a guitar and how gorgeous this one is and how much i want one just like it or close to it.
This is what happens when you don't learn to play well with others. This is marvelous. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Not many artists play art with their own pieces of art.
I have viewed this video many times and it still amazes me every time,,,without fail......You are a National treasure my friend.....play on.....
This is without a doubt the most amazing and beautiful innovation in music within the last ... oh... forever! Mr. Medley has created 4D audio. A sound so complex, intertwined with itself and pure that, although I attempt to, I cannot describe it. Andrés Segovia would have probably made a pact with Satan to live long enough to play this instrument had he known.
Easily one of the best songs on guitar I’ve ever heard...period! You’re a legend man!!!!
After I saw this,I bought his whole album on iTunes...unbelievable...plus he built the guitar!!
Keith is amazing!!.. I'm a Bass player and a drummer. So I love the low end and hard pushing. But this mesmerizes me... I can be stressed to a 9.9 and I listen to this and any stress just drains off. Instant calm.. I was surprised to find out Keith is a southern boy. I really expected he would be from the UK.. I don't know why.. Ancestors was an instant, beautiful favorite. A genius rhythmic ensemble...
Every now and then, some guy pops out of nowhere and blows your freakin mind away! A minute ago I had never heard of this guy. Now, he's my new favorite guitar player and his 27-string monster my new favorite instrument. I'm speechless!
I've played this 10 times in a row,never get tired of hearing it
In the presents of greatness producing of the most timeless songs of anytime. Even better 13 years later. Much love.
Who the F--! in their right mind would ever give this an ego driven "thumbs down"?! This is pure musical beauty! I've listened to this song over 100 times and it gets better and better each time. This guy is 100% connected to the zone of musicality. LOVE this. There might have been an additional bass track playing, because some of the bass lines are clearly fingered and not open strings, but who gives a F---! He played that track too, I'm sure. Just an added part of what this beautiful song needed, and his brilliant, musical mind knew it.
Absolutely divine..I play a 12 string and can't even imagine 27 strings...beyond impressive. ❤❤
Beautiful. I'd hate to tune it.
Wow.
+Tim Myles
Bought One! Wish I could get one that Keith Makes! >_
Or change the strings
I can't believe that this only has 2,793 views, this is a masterpiece
How can you not like this? Great mood, great feel, 46 humans have no ears. Cheers & Peace.
learned to play bass and guitar at the same time....Forever Alone
I am jealous of this man's amazing talent, both for building this marvelous creation and for being able to play is so beautifully! All the people making negative comments below really need to get a life!
I'm not seeing any negative comments
7 people always wanted to play the guitar but couldnt handle a 6 string. this really is too much for them. i have to say, i bow to thee, Sir!
Absolutely amazing!! And to see the entire instrument played. I've seen other videos where they have double string sets and what not but they don't use the whole instrument. Here, I'm seeing the most number of strings, used to perfection. What a master musician!
37 people wanted the guitar to have 100 strings...
Seriously who could dislike this?
Amazing music!
Magic.
I bought Keith's first CD, "Ride" when I discovered him years ago. The music is pure guitar bliss! Keith is a treasure.
I’ve been interested in hearing harp-guitars lately and of all the songs I’ve heard this one REALLY stands out in a cool and ambient way! Glad I heard this gem! The supreme use of the bass strings and the tight string high notes really have been milked n mixed so beautifully!!!
Indeed, well said.
Amazing artist, just sublime.
This is by far the most amazing piece of music I have ever listened to.
This is truely an amazing intrument and what a beautiful song. Keith, You are an amazing artist!!!
Thanks for not over-using the lens baby :D
What an awesome track. I posted this on facebook shortly after it was released and could not find it for the life of me. I had to add an app to search my wall posts to find it again. It's a shame this isn't seen by more people.
OMG I'm speechless, just took my breathe away !!!
I love music artists like this they don't SPAM your inbox with contacts and they play beautiful music :,).
This instrument, composition and musician are truly amazing! I've never seen a harp guitar before. It is a beautiful and versatile instrument. It is a real delight to listen to. I keep playing it for people to hear. Now I'm going to share it with fellow musicians. Thank you for the pleasure!! God bless you!
Just put this song on repeat... ❤️
I listen to this again & again. Always beautiful & amazing!
This is is music from the secret Star level of Awesome.
45 not liker ?? Humm some crazy people out there...
They're just jealous... which honestly I can understand because this guy is amazing!
People like this, improving my view on humanity one step at a time.
Is such a sculpture.... being played amazingly :D
Quite possibly the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. The sound, the tone he makes is just incredible. Mr. Medley is blessed to have a soul that can conceive music like this, and a mind that makes it possible for him to share it with the rest of us.
Absolutely stunning! Your abilities as a musician and an artist is inspiring :)
I could watch this over and over....
I can't stop watching this. I've seen it like 50 times now. It's just mesmerizing. And what a perfect song name. It does take you back.
you are a master... music for the soul
Who the hell dis-likes this? Jeez, this guy could get any lady he wanted!
WOW! This is a true artist! Wonderful music! I can not wait for more :)
KM is taking guitar playing to an entirely new level.
This is totally bad ass!
some music cant even have lyrics, just a mental picture of what's being conveyed, the only thing that comes to mind is the soft sunset on a western desert scene with many mountains with a cool breeze blowing, and the promise of a new day on the way, amazing song
39 dislikes from people who cant even play a 6 string.
amen aint that the truth
if you can even play one string you appreciate this
That comment is not logical. I don’t know how to make wine but I know what I like and what I don’t like.
And they're not even Aliens, oh wait, they didn't like his music...lol
I avoid buying instruments like harp guitars etc...Too many strings attached lol
Wow, this I call a musician... music is so much nicer when ancient sounds are added.
Never heard such a thing before ... I'm totally impressed ... awesome sound and playing technic ... MASTERPIECE! ... Salut!
Pretty much the best 4 and a half minutes you can spend on UA-cam these days.
Amazing
Aside from the fact this is posted on my birthday... ...this man is awesome.
bet thats fun to re string
and TUNE!....my head goes numb just thinking about it :b
I could listen to this all Day and Night...
When Jesus plays guitar
- this is what it sounds like!
“satan”
Praise Jesus forevermore
I remember seeing this when it first came out and still being as awestruck today as I was 3 years ago. Never stop playing, dude!
is that you god
It takes a very special person with a very unique talent to craft such beautiful and amazing instruments and be able to make them speak to us in this way. A man who has many gifts that he shares with the rest of us. Thank you, Mr. Medley.
Tabs when?
"Tabs"...lol. Funniest troll comment ever.
216trixie no
Tabs available after we can 3D print the guitar. :^)
I've lived and played in the ambient world for over twenty years, this stunning performance is a perfect example of what is possible at so many levels, composition, execution and moreover total sonic excellence and harmony between a dedicated player and the remarkably beautiful instrument he as created. I admire this so much.
Michael Spriggs
imagine replacing the strings
6-string tab? XD
Straordinaria composizione
Well you COULD just play the guitar part, but you'd need a bassist
I wanted to hear somebody playing harp guitar and found just people playing a song I know on the guitar with a little bass inside. But now I found a real harp guitar player. Thank you, this playing is so nice.
I'd hate to tune that.
This human being is amazing. Amazing musician, amazing wood skills, etc. There's nobody else like him!!
That is not a 27 string guitar. That's a guitar with two harps attached to it
+loeschenb also called seraph harp guitar to be 100% precise.
+loeschenb that would be 27 strings
There I was, watching some Canadian kid's archery videos, when this tune comes on in the background. Now I can't stop listening to this song...
I would have enjoyed this better without the canned rhythm. He would be better served with a live drummer or two.
pussy
Nancie Petersen Also without the electronic enhancement.
Nancie Petersen Agreed.
Whine, whine, whine! Another probably no talent genius heard from!
