All I can say is wow!!!!! Incredible!!!

Re: All I can say is wow!!!!! Incredible!!!

Adam Fulara... I'll have seen it before, it's very impressive.

There's many more vids on his site. Just google his name and you'll find it
 
Re: All I can say is wow!!!!! Incredible!!!

I agree, wow! ... but then I have to ask, why? There are so many instruments so much better adapted to this music. And to have a guitar especially made for just this music - I mean the guitar is absolutely useless for anything else... looks like a case of more money than brains to me

Good point... I didn't really mean what I said about "brains" - just a stupid phrase taken too far... but really - as good as he is - this is really just interesting for other guitar players. It doesn't show off this piece of music as well as a keyboard could. It's just musical self-indulgence.

And I still shake my head at that guitar. You can't play that top neck with any other style... proably not the first time a musical instrument was built for just one piece of music. Just strange, I guess.
 
Re: All I can say is wow!!!!! Incredible!!!

That's his style.. If you check the site you'll find videos of him jamming with a jazz band, playing the chords with one hand and leads with the other
 
Re: All I can say is wow!!!!! Incredible!!!

that is just insane!! ...

are both necks strung as a traditional guitar?

t4d

edit: he (kinda) explains his tuning on his website ... neither neck is traditional

Okay... then, that makes sense - sorry... I am now suitably impressed.

Pretty neat party trick.
 
Re: All I can say is wow!!!!! Incredible!!!

Reminds me of guys playing the chapman stick. Saw a guy in Santa Monica playing a stick on the 3rd street Promanade. I was impressed, bought his CD and e-mailed a cut to my brother a bass player. My brothers' comments were basically "okay but what is the point". If you play traditionally the lines are much better articulated, timing is better, dynamics are better;the end product is simply better. If I were buying a cd to listen to, would I rather have the piece played by two players or double tracked vs having it done one take in this manner?
It definitely is impressive and beyond anything I could ever do (I can't play piano either :) ) , but as far as an instrument/technique to record a quality piece of music???

I don't know if I agree with you on that one. If you're a racecar driver do you say oh f*ck this car it only goes fast! No, you take it for what it is and use it for what it's meant for. I'm willing to bet that kid makes a good living playing what he does and could play any guitar, but he had one built so he could do his thing with it...because that's what he does.

All I can say is that I truely believe that people with that kind of talent have been given a gift from God.
