- off of the road to return..Michael Adam Hedges (December 31, 1953 December 2, 1997) was an American composer and acoustic guitarist born and raised in Enid, Oklahoma. He is widely considered to be one of the best solo acoustic guitarists of all time. His music features his own unique performing style which features harmonics, fingerpicking, knocking and slapping.
Michael Hedges was a conservatory composition major who applied his classically trained musical background in combination with radical innovation to reinvent the steel string acoustic guitar. He combined many unusual techniques on the acoustic guitar with a wide range of musical styles, and was also considered a dynamic performer in concert - in short, a Paganini of the guitar.
He is known for extensive use in several pieces of two handed tapping techniques (nearly a contrapuntal style of multiple voices). He used the fingers of his right (typically picking) hand to slap harmonic chords at the 12th, 7th or 5th fret (or elsewhere). He made use of right hand hammer-ons, particularly on bass notes, and often used the left hand for melodic or rhythmic hammer-ons and pull offs, as well as unusual strummings, that played, as mentioned, independent voices to the right hand. These techniques tended to convert the guitar into a quasi-keyboard like instrument for certain musical purposes. He also made extensive use of string dampening as employed in classical guitar, and was known to insist strongly on the precise duration of sounds and silences in his pieces. Other facets to his playing were percussive slapping on the guitar body and extensive use of artificial harmonics.
This guy was awesome---way ahead of his time.
i used to listen to this song over and over and over. i will never get over that he is gone.
Still hard for me to listen to this....... God I miss him. RIP.
yeah, i miss this friend i never met but always knew somehow, somewhere...
The 3 people who dislike this song please leave our planet. You have no musical taste and there fore you should go. This is perfection :)
I have a very short list of "go to" musicians/pieces when my head just needs to get of Dodge and chill, relax, reset, empty, and feel good again. Michael Hedges is permanently engraved on that list.
After all these years still one of my favorite all time songs. Love the build up and its dripping with emotion all the way through.
Only an true artist could create such a masterpiece.
Thank you for all great music Michael. Words cant express how much your music means to me. When you were in Charlotte NC playing at Spirit Square, I shouted for you to play this song and you did. A simple request for a spirtual song. Hard to listen to this without getting choked up.......RIP: The world was a better place with you in it.
one of the most compelling artists of our generation..ty you uploading
The show notes were perfectly written but let us not forget that when he chose to sing he sang with the voice of angels.
My favorite song off TRTR. I used to play this song all the time.
Wonderful masterpiece
Beautifully raw energy. I listen to you today with the same passion when you were alive in your body.
Sister Soul🕊lyrics🕊
it’s time to talk - it's time to speak
the switch is on and the light is green
send me down this road
and i will find my sister soul
i really wanna know sister soul
deep inside me
a free sister soul is here in hiding🎻here in hiding
it's time to walk - it's time i seek
my breath is drawn 🕊
i’m awakening
i’ll rock
and i will roll
and i will find my sister soul
i really wanna know sister soul
deep inside me
a free sister soul
is here in hiding
down deep inside me🎻
beautiful song!!
Thanks for uploading this wonderful piece!!!! Damn this guy was good....
Not to mention wind instruments which, if I'm not mistaken, he played on this song as well as the rest of the album and others. He was a musical genius with a purity of heart that rang through in every note he played and every word he sang, and it still does :)
There is no acoustic guitar without him......His name should have written on every CandyRat cd and they should give a percentage to HIS FAMILY or something .
“This is about me trying to locate my ‘anima’.”
"~ I’m just going to be more in touch with my feminine side.” Michael Hedges
P.S. Feminine genius = nurturing spirit=source of spiritual strength for others/JP2
"She* (the soul) lives in solitude .
In solitude, she has her nest;
in solitude she is also guided
alone, by a cherished Lover,
He, Who, very alone as well
lived a wounded love. " St. John of the Cross
*St. John of the Cross refers to the
soul as feminine as if she is the
bride of the Beloved, God.
When the soul unites to the Beloved,
a spiritual marriage is created.
@Cavin8r Yes, he had one on stage in Charlotte when I saw him. Amazing night.
cheers
so very true and beautiful my friend~
