She is so good.

A great mix of Bass techniques.

We have been there yet again, to the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall for a concert of mixed classical music and weere blown away by the guest pianist Alexandra Dariescu who played a piece we have not heard before and one the she has not yet recorded, Ballade by Germaine Tailleferre.

Here she is playing a well known work by Tchaikovsky which just happens to be one of my favourite pieces, sadly one I could play better as a kid than I can do now.

Here is Ballade by another artist, try closing your etes as you listen, what colours do you see?

Somehow this group slipped under my radar!
I just stumbled onto a their music. I am now listening to a few albums of theirs.
Pretty cool!
Kind of like U2 but 100 times better! IMO

example . .

Good for you Becky!
I am actually in awe watching MUSE
Some of their stuff is just bloody brilliant.
I revert back to the clip I posted (one before the previous one of Becky's) "Butterflies and Hurricanes".
Since this is a keyboard forum, I urge you all to have a look at 3.44 . . Very nice piano solo. It's amazing how so softly and graceful it sounds yet blends into the all mighty power of the rest of the song.
Awesome!

Whilst watching a music video on Youtube I just happened not to stop it when it had finished and a new video started and this guy started playing.

As it is one of my favourites is Pachelbel Canon in D but this guy does it on a guitar with awesome technique,

 

[Becky]

Nice take on a classic, and he has a really interesting technique!

 

[Biggles]

Becky

It is a difficult guitar skill to master to the level he has.

Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck are three others who use the technique a far bit in their playing.

I will have to improve my finger picking technique to even be able to play a rudimentary version.

We are Manchester bound on Saturday to see Mowton, The Musical , the show which is on at The Opera House is staged for a week or so before continuing on elsewhere.

Songs in the show include this and rather than post the original here is the absolute best version of it, imho that is.

I prefer the Hank Snow Version.

I've been busy refurbishing a piano this week! It's an old school piano from a friend's classroom (I don't think it had been used in years apart from as a place to store things on!) so I'm giving it some TLC and a lick of paint. While I've been at work I've been mostly listening to The Beatles
