Calum Graham - The Nomad - Solo Acoustic Guitar 

In case I get your words right, I pretty much like that kinda humor. Cheers!!

😂

Man do I know that feeling! However, there is space for all of us. Music doesn’t necessarily have to be complex to move and inspire others.

Lmfao

😂 He is very good. But the delay makes the piece sound more complex than it is.

Me and you both, almost puts you in a trance like state.

I think art of any kind is made with two intentions: To convey an idea or emotion, and to be interpreted. The artist is responsible for what the piece may try convey, while the audience is responsible for how it is actually perceived, and that perception is inevitably going to be different from the initial intention and between each person in some way, even if it is minor. The artist only has vague or incomplete control over how a piece will make a person feel, and they only know for certain how it makes them feel, and even that initially perceived feeling can change over time, lost. For this reason, I feel it's pointless to linger on what a piece is supposed to make me feel, and just take the feeling that comes. And I feel music artists that have a wide array of techniques to have, at their disposal, the potential to invoke greater and more complex emotions and imagery with their playing. But in the end, how well they actually utilize their many techniques and skills makes all the difference. A great guitarist has perfect play, knows all the techniques, and knows every nook and cranny of their instrument like the back of their hand. A masterful guitarist knows how to best and most creatively make use of that information.

Exactly! Same to me. Just now, I've listened to another talented guy. It was unbelievable what he performed with guitar but it was mostly about skill, nice melody and strong rhytm. So then I played this song and said to myself...yes, about this it is...that song could take you from the ground and bring you up in the skyes. For me, one of the best contemplative songs ever.

You mentioned it. This is one of the best fingerstyle I've heard in a while.

who wrote the song btw? no offence but a person wrote this and your giving credit to a damn label. i get what you said but callum grahm wrote this song clearly not to impress people on the look of the song and speed of doing so.

Please watch n hear the playing from Indonesian Fingerstyle ALIP BA TA, he good

YEAH

+Jon Gomm Hi Jon, do you have any new music in the works? :)

Jon Gomm is the definition of epic that passionflower song is insane.

My Master

Jon Gomm .

Jon Ghomm No lo puedo creer Waw 😍

I live for carbon fiber strings

Eddie van der Meer wow EVDM really commented on him

@@ashishkhatiwada7536 EVDM is almost nothing compared to Candyrat guitarists though lol.

@@pavanbhat3861 am just a fan of EVDM and am not comparing them. Both are legends ♥️. But who are you to judge him?

@@ashishkhatiwada7536 Well okay. I mean you're comment seemed like Calum was supposed to feel honoured that Eddie commented lmao. Also, welcome to the internet. Anyone is allowed to judge here. By the way, I respect Eddie a lot as a guitarist if you had thought otherwise.

it makes it that much more powerful!

Right on, Bro... I couldn't agree more. Well said!

Corey Webber without a doubt. just enough to let the notes ring out in such a subtle manor

+Jessica H lebenslangershicksalshatz!!!

+Kevin Toine same reason

Donovan Raitt though? Come on, His Unique Style Is Amazing!!!!

Jeff Stump I love that thought

+Caleb Kyle Claro HOla FFG Here

+Caleb Kyle Claro so interesting to see this :)

I was turned into Windom Hills label in the 70s, Ackerman was brilliant, but hedges just blew me away. used aerial boundaries as the theme music to as play I directed. Graham is the first guitarist I've heard since hedges who plays with a. combination of brilliant composition, technique and emotion. big fan.

one word: Snape

technically he didnt live to see that he conquered all, but he turned the tides of the battle

Its a Tonewood amp

Susan Botich Yes indeed

Michael Chapdelaine

JD810Taylor - I was in Jo's Organic Bar, which later became the 8x10 in Federal Hill in the 70's, sitting not 8 feet in front of Michael as he played. Some moron decided he did'nt like the music and plugged in the juke box. The only time I ever saw Michael upset.

warriordrum, well said. Anyone who has discovered this piece should listen to it back-to-back with Hedges's 1984 studio recording of Aerial Boundaries. For 30 years I've listened to a lot of acoustic guitar and for my money, Calum's Nomad is the piece closest to the sound and spirit of AB, ever. It feels a bit presumptuous to ask, but I wonder if Calum would ever consider covering AB. I don't think there's a guitarist alive today who could come closer to what Michael did with it, nor one whose cover would be more moving. Just sayin'...

Corey--IMJ the secret sauce to Micheals sound is that he makes it while pirouetting on an exercise ball with no shoes while wearing a microphone hat. Nobody seems that untethered anymore. Still got huge love for Calum, who clearly has his own road to follow, which is the biggest tribute he can make to MH. Can't wait for more songs from him and yes I love his voice too.

Thank you sir! I had the bass strings, and was going to work on the rest but you figured it out first! You're a gentleman and a scholar!

So, the tuning is the same intervals as basic "Drop D", just tuning the low E down a whole step and nothing else. Everything would be a whole step higher of course, but that would be a simple way to have the same tuning. Amazing, AWESOME performance! So glad I stumbled on this! What inspiring creativity!

how did u come to know about tuning

Thanks man

Dodo H yes indeed good

waiiting your cover

Me as well; I had an acoustic playlist going and this song began to play and I set down my sketchbook and pencil and was kinda blown away for a while after

You mean 1:04 - 1:18 ?

TrustNo1 (Shattered Blooms) Nope

+Ricardo Cardoso You should have! :-D

TrustNo1 (Shattered Blooms) Nah, that was my favorite part :D

You mean 0:00 - 4:45?

Cynthia Marr Yes the music makes me feel to love 💓 again

He is. The piece was inspired by Michael Hedges.
