Hi

yes nice song.

Somebody  ever listened to Harry Sacksioni? Not very well known outside the Netherlands, but might give it also a try.
Pieter

sounds like Rodrigo y Gabriella...minus one of 'em...

Last comment from Jazzdevil was 6 years ago.  If he is still listening to RP, thankfully his comments seem to have stopped.

Looked at his song ratings, the top ones anyway, and I would agree in general with them.

I prefer to just PSD most all the songs that do not appeal to me.  No need to add negative comments in my opinion.

Mr. Bundy's got it covered here - no holes or gaps - complete work of art. 
I wanted to say this sounds as good as two guitarists, but he's even better than that -
And he doesn't overdo it - even manages to make it soothing.
To top it off, I haven't heard him before.
Thanks.

Really clever.  Will check out the album.  Reminds me somewhat of Luca Stricagnoli or Antonio Forcione, both also 'acoustic ninjas' on the old guitar.  I recall hearing 'Thunderstruck' by Luca Stricagnoli on RP a while back, so he's known to our Dear Hosts....

Love Trace.  He grew up in the mountains of Colorado, that makes him special to me.  His talent is out of this world.  A must see in concert, preferably a small venue so you can see every pick and capo movement.

Also "Save Tonight" by Eagle-Eye Cherry, for me.

sure wish I could play like this

He's married to Rebecca (Becca)

I  hear "If God Was One Of Us" by Joan Osborne here.

There are several superbly accomplished instrumentalists with incredible technical abilities, but I find the complexity of some of their 'lollypops' detracts from the musicality. This is one such piece for me. Just because you can doesn't necessarily mean that you should - but there does appear to be a market for it, so good luck to them.

Very well put!  Isn't much he's played that I don't like.  Nils Lofgren does a song Keith Don't Go... Fantastic!

Definitely sounds like Michael Hedges.  I thought for sure it was him.

Beautiful song.  You have to try to hear this as coming from one guitar player if you have a chance of appreciating it. In the world of Leo Kotke, Michael Hedges et al, I think this is right up there.

What is it trying to be, exactly?

Every time I hear this it just does nothing for me.  A lot of playing styles mashed into....well something.   He took a lot of time and effort and I respect that but this is not only way too long to be listenable, but it desperately tries to be something it isn't. 

Ganesha! Babar?

I hear traces of/nods to both Michael Hedges and Phil Keaggy. 

Agreed...
Trace Bundy 8, jazzdevil 2

Ok I'll rate you a 2.

Good doogs. (means's "you play a mean game of marbles" - I like it).

Sounds like a very average copy of several other similar artists nowadays :^ / There is just nothing above marginal in this tune.

Trace Bundy is phenomenal.  Listen to his version of Pachebele's Cannon.   You will be a convert.

Yeah, only who never play a guitar can say anything worse about him. I like this finger style.

7.6 for this? it's a joke. 2 for me

But I wonder if Ziggy Stardust could play guitar in this charming way...

I'd be thrilled to be able to play something like this.
I'd be equally thrilled to hear something other than this. 
~ Senator, I knew Michael Hedges, and you're no Michael Hedges.

All his songs played on RP are, in my opinion, too long and repetitious.  I would have enjoyed it more if it had been short and sweet.  After a while you just lose interest.

Lots of dynamic going on here... open chords, muted strings, hammer-ons, finger picking, rhythmic strumming, guitar slapping, harmonics... a bit too over-the-top showy if you ask me. Still, pretty nice and obviously talented.

According to Wikipedia, he is known as the "Accoustic Ninja".

Ground Control to Major Tom....
