Nice harmonies, especially ethereal in the middle section. Maybe you saw them in Once?

LOL, That reminds me of something that happened many years ago. I was fooling around with a friend. Two of us were improvising on one guitar. We were fighting for room on the fretboard, so I moved his left hand up the neck. He kept playing while I did this, without missing a note (though I'm not sure exactly what he was playing), much to everyone's amazement. It was pretty funny.

Thanks everyone for contributing to this thread.

This is a great thread idea! Loved the examples so far. I can't post links at the moment, I would YouTube the great Ali Akbar Khan--if you've ever seen the documentary on the life and career of Julian Bream, there's a scene where he's trying to improvise a duet with Khan and Bream remarks how in credible it must be to spontaneously compose music "without paper".

Apparently, there is a form of "sarod picking" applicable to guitar. Unfortunately, it's kind of difficult to play both instruments, as the Sarod kind of requires nails....on the LEFT hand

Thanks, that looks very interesting. The 18 month correspondance made me laugh. I bet that letter confused a lot of people on its journey around the villages before somebody figured it out and decided to respond.

I love the guitar in zulu jive stuff from the sixties and seventies. I was looking for a track from this group called Isisu Somhambi (Music Which Feeds The Guests) - a great title for a great cut. It's on the compilation Soweto Never Sleeps. If you like these, you should check it out....

It's funny - I grew up and live in the American south, very southern, pretty redneck family. I spent some time in the U.K. and Ireland a few years ago and it's amazing how similar the people look. I'd get off the train in some small town and it would be like looking into the faces of people on Main Street in Tifton, Georgia. Can definitely see the Scotch/Irish/English gene pool in the south.... Have lots of friends in the Tennessee and N. Carolina hills that play bluegrass and it's really just Irish dance music, especially the fiddle stuff. I've been to parties up there where three generations sit on the porch and the old guys teach and everybody plays something.... it's white blues, what I was raised on. Thanks for posting these. Ricky Skaggs can be a little on the hokey side but he screams.....

Some great new posts have been added to this thread. While we're on the topic of American music, here's one of my all time favourite songs. You are probably all familiar with Joni's music.

For a little diversion, can you name the instrument she is playing?
