Warren doing some Hedges stuff. Sweet.

Warren, last evening I recorded my son on a webcam and computer mic. The video turned out okay. What's your setup for a YouTube video? TIA, Bruce

Just saw this thread... thanks for the post.

Bruce I record videos with the i-Mac built-in camera. I capture the audio through a Zoom H4 direct to the hard drive and process the sound in GarageBand. I reassemble the clip in iMovie HD with titles et.al.

You want to hear something really cool add &fmt=18 to the URL. You get to hear the stereo audio like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQBOMwt0yvI&fmt=18

Very cool Warren!!!!! I really enjoyed that!

That was awesome!

I looked up Hedges because I never heard of him! He died in a car crash 10 years ago. Man! what a let down! That's why I never heard of him.

Great job on that song Warren!

Nice work.

A student gave me a Michael Hedges CD many years ago (Before internet). I loved it, but never really learned much about him.

My stepson dragged me to a concert, a year or two later, and the unannounced warm-up act was Hedges. To see him live was amazing. He twisted and spunand amazed us with his playing. I'll never forget it

Thanks. I first encountered the music of Hedges in '88 when I was auditioning new speakers for my sound system. The song was Rickover's Dream, and I can honestly say it changed my life because I started playing guitar again. It took a few years to figure out how Michael played the tune since I'd never seen him live - and the technique was unorthodox, to say the least. Here's my hommage:

Thanks Warren, enjoyed Rickover's Dream too. There is something magical about well played pieces of music. You have the touch! very enjoyable and entertaining....

Wow Warren you nailed Rickover's Dream! What is the tuning? I ran into Michael at NAMM one time and he gave it to me but my notebook was destroyed by fire before I had a chance to learn it.

Man he was a sweetheart of a guy. Really down to earth.

The tuning is CGDGBC.

Yup! My sentiments exactly.

Wonderful playing. I really enjoyed both songs. Thanks.
