- The fan-dubbed “Acoustic Ninja” must be seen to be believed, using harmonics, looping, multiple capos, and his unique banter and stage presence to deliver an unforgettable live experience. Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing, but seeing him play live confounds even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers. Internationally-acclaimed guitar virtuoso Trace Bundy shares his musical artistry with us this year. Fan-dubbed “The Acoustic Ninja,” his music must be seen to be believed, using harmonics, looping, and multiple capos to confound even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers. Trace’s witty banter and stage presence delivers an unforgettable live concert experience.
Trace is based in Boulder, but his unique career has brought him across the world, with concerts in 28 countries and counting -- from high-tech performance halls in South Korea and Italy, to remote villages in Zimbabwe and Guatemala. His video clips have circulated virally, with over 43 million TH-cam views to date. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Stretching the limits of how many capos you can own
😆i have one
Most underated comment ever i would give this 20k likes if I could🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂
Lmao
Dude you win the internet lol
Those are antenna to the mother ship not capos
He played at my high school years and years ago. I still remember getting full body chills when he played Where the Streets Have No Name
It drives me nuts when over a million people can watch a video and no one chooses to give it a like. I am sure more than 16k people were inspired by his playing. Give back people.
dude who cares, they mean nothing, its a youtube video
He’s defiantly put in his 10k hours. Fantastic musician.
I love how he just CANNOT stay still! The music is flowing through him. He is music.
I think that’s the ADHD 😂
Some people have just a ridiculous amount of talent. He is one of them.
ja, tatsächlich!
whats behind?
This is really great. He really made the guitar sing with sweet melodies and harmonies. I can hear him play all days... bless
Thanks to TH-cam I get to listen to these brilliant musicians.
After seeing Trace twice in live concert, in a very small theatre; I am still in awe at his talent and abilities. Simply mesmerizing.
A very similar artist to Trace (this is my first time discovering Trace by the way, and wow, what an amazing, creative talent!) I've discovered is a guy named Mike Dawes.. check him out if you like Trace, hopefully I hit the nail on the head and pointed you to someone you haven't come across yet just like I did with Trace. Cheers!
The edge definitely lost sleep over this one
7:57🔥🔥gem of a riff.
Thank you, Michael Hedges.
I think he would dig it
Saved in every playlist i have on TH-cam! 🤍
Thank you Michael Hedges.
it*s not only amazing!... it*s fantastic, gorgeous,,, there*s no superlative to describe it... thank you!...
So. Much. Embellishing. This stuff is attractive to people that don't know anything about music or guitar lol guitarists are face palming watching this.
What matters is what performance makes us feel or want to do.
So this is what August Rush is up to these days!!
Awesome reference. Great movie too
No big deal just 20k of acoustics on stage…
Beautiful guitars 🥺❤️
Where the streets have no name, that was amazing traveling will open new doors
You know you're passionate about guitar when you can't sit still while playing it
Exactly 😁
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
He’s got worms 🤣🤣
Called being a musician and keeping time lmao
Brill love it
Human Voice....
Still the greatest instrument of all time... when attached to the human heart.
what? this is a guitar video
A street without no name just blew my mind,EPIC!!
My wife and I love watching Trace and have seen him perform live many times. He is a great entertainer, always bringing the audience right into the music with him. To top it off he is just a super person in real life. Come back to Texas Trace. Soon.
U2 would be proud...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 brilliant... Irish viewer 🇮🇪
I see high level of artistry with magic touches
A true artist that appreciates music theory, can paint a picture in your mind without lyrics.
True art, 👍
true but there is always a title to the song isn't there, and some backstory.
There doesn't have to be
Other world finger dexterity and great melodic compositions
Delayed sound becomes the background melody for the tune, genius!
He was dancing with the guitar. Beautiful
Say what you will and apparently many have, but to deny this guy's ability to understand the soundscape and his ability to own his instrument is disingenuous.
He has reached the astronaut level.
Mind officially blown
U2 cover was serious
Awesome, if i was listening only, i wouldnt have believed this was one musician and one instrument.
I wish I could have played guitar like this in my college days 😉
Wow. Absolutely amazing. I have no words beyond that.
I think WOW says it all !!!
Incredible!
At 11:24, it's felt like people starts singing along but it was just eco,, hats off 🙌
10:31 Epic !!!
as great as they come
First time watching this.. im awestruck. Fantastic performance
Never heard of the bloke but he is absolutely brilliant (Y)
"stretching the limits of acoustic guitar"
Marcin Patrazalek : Hold my capo.
Breaks a nail
So cool people with the gift!
Pleasant music!
Trace is a good friend of my Cousin, Met him at his wedding. Great guy and amazing musician
thats so cool!
Tommy Emmanuel "limits! On a guitar?! Hold my beer."
Ok now I will search for this Tommy guy...
Holy....... he is great!!! and doesn't even own a single CAPO!!!
If u like him check out ichika nito, tim Henson and manuel gardner fernandez, these guys are great guitarists too
Eddie Van Halen: "You're already holding my beer, I did all this back in the 70's. Without loop pedals."
With hints of YES! in "Bristlecone."
Ted is so good!
Amazing... do check his last play... wow.. I didn’t want him to stop.. love from India
Cant have words to describe the feelings.
ineffable
Yes that was amazing
Unreal.
Dude! Thank you! Where the streets have no name made me shiver... love it!
8:50 Will be forever my absolute favourite rendition of this track!!! Just incredible!!! 💚💚💚
which track is it please??
Yes please share, it sounds like some other famous songs but with some alterations.
Amazing from acoustic guitar
Brilliant~ 👏👏👏
Incredible performance, skill, talent, ability, etc. Simply amazing.
I love how he explains the story behind the music,I do get that wild adrenaline rush flowing vibe when you get get a tone trying to evolve around your head ready to be sorted out and you suddenly get restless ready to play
finding my way home to a blakean world of eternal delight
The return of Ted - Bundy!
lol
This was a feast for my ears.
Non è mai troppo tardi di sentire e capire chi è bravo
John Butler - Ocean. Period.
Absolutely
This brings me back to the days when I would replay "duelling ninjas" on the DVD in slow mo trying to learn it. So much talent before Andy Mckee and Candyrat became big.
Man, agreed. Mckee and the folks on the Candyrat label almost made me stop playing guitar, knocking me down a few pegs because for a while there, I thought I was actually good.
That album was seminal in my guitar education. Actually, a couple buddies and I worked it out so that Trace came up to Canada and played a show we could attend. It was amazing. Back in the green-pedal DL-4 days.
Everything is build on the shoulders of what came before. Recording acoustic guitar solos wasn't really a thing until Fahey got in the game and started Takoma Records. Hedges came later with an entirely different approach through Windham Hill. It's not that different from how people carry e.g. the blues or jazz tradition in different directions today.
10:20 The best part
great... reminded me of the great Michael Hedges!!
Wonderful!
T. Bundy at a Ted talk killing some strings 😂
"I capo my capos."
Amazing.
We were so lucky when we lived in Colorado to see Trace live on multiple occasions. This video reminds me how great and gifted guitarist he truly is.
Wowww! That was an impressive performance. 👍👏
Just like the progression of life, these outstanding guitarists are bringing new tech and ideas to amaze us! However, young guitarists do not be dismayed play the best you can with what you have. Some of the finest classical players I know can blow an audience away playing a Bach Suite on a $300.00 Yamaha. I say this taking nothing away from this fabulous player! PEACE
I have never heard such perfect harmonics
Beautiful
I saw this guy play with multiple capos back in 2004, back in the MySpace days. Blew my mind. Good to see he’s still out there!
Wow! I'm surprised how many great persons play so greatest the guitar. God gave us this talent...I'm glad to listen these people!
Talent comes from practice and perhaps genetics. I fail to see how it could come from anywhere else.
@@peliusrex2730 where do these genetics come from, or the motivation to become so practiced? From the Christian perspective these are answered with God
@@macheavage1058 Genes come from a combination of the parents genes and random mutation.
amazing talents
I can dig it 😎 Thanks Scotty
Amazing what these guys can do with a acoustic guitar and amplifier setup...Bravo.
Trace BUNDY as a TED talk.
You are blessed,thank you for sharing your talent with us!❤️🇺🇸🙏
his guitar looks like a mad scientist
I do live looping and have been playing the guitar for 30 years and that was VERY impressive! AWESOME!!! :)
Any idea why he has 4 capos on that guitar?
What A Musician, What A Personality, What A Presentation. Thank You for sharing and God Bless 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
This is just the most amazing thing on an acoustic guitar. Trace Bundy is a master.
Who dislikes a video like this? What's not to like. The guy is incredibly talented and engaging. Rhythm and bass lines are really cool, given he is a one-man show. Well done!
there are no limits to acoustic guitar.. it’s an orchestra itself
MIND BLOWN
very enjoyable.....and then he finished with my favorite band....loved it
Absolutely stunning performance,I can’t wait to hear the next , concert, 💫😌💫
He's a freak!! Astonishing!!!
Love the harbor freight commercial
I had to keep replaying this because I love how you create on your guitar just as it it were a canvas. I like it when I do my Art, it's a very individual style and I love it!
Redefinindo tudo! A história da música, pode descrita antes e depois desse cara! Show demais!
Awesome. Makes me really miss Michael Hedges R.I.P.
He is very good with his fingers.
Great performance! I loved it !
Some people have never heard of Michael Hedges. He was playing like this, and better, 25 years ago, without the effects, and with maybe one capo.
Michael did it with sheer mastery of the guitar not all the tech gimmickry. If you take the tech away I wonder how many of these players could really play and how well.
He was waaaay better. This guy is a poser, a mediocre guitarist
One of the best performance in my life I m looking
