Somebody should have played these guys the Michael Hedges "Ariel Boundries" video.

The songs performed on the Wyndam Hill DVD are amazing. The music itself is amazing, but to see it performed is inspiring. My personal favorite is Silent Anticipations - blows me away every time I see it.Silent Anticipations

Yeppers......and there-in lies the problem. You have to SEE him play. Otherwise you'd believe there were three guitars or overdubs in the studio. I met him in Colorado Springs years ago and was always amazed by his technique.
I have just about anything that has been released under his name. MH was a musical genius IMO. There are plenty of fret slappers out there, but Hedges defined his own unique rhythms and melodies through his innovative techniques. He was an entertaining performer as well."Aerial Boundaries" was his opus, but I also find "Oracle" to be among his most excellent work. The back-to-back performance of "Gospel" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" has a wonderful groove, and a moving vocal on the latter. Love the way that low bass string buzzes in that song - it's perfect!
Good for you that you actually met the man in person. Way cool!
