@@alidabirnia2882 I think the lobby basho is wonderful. I'm a genius. It is my own view of the world. Before this, I'll buy a CD that contains unreleased songs.
I stumbled upon a concert he performed in Santa Cruz in 1982 or '83 and was blown away. Several years later, and in another state, the Montessori teacher for my son told me Basho performed at her wedding.
A Night cry , a war hoop, a death song? All of the above? Listening this winter of 2020 when I thought I heard it all... Can't wait to listen when the thunder returns! Love you Robbie
i cant seem to get enough of this song.... its like every time i listen to it a black hole takes over that space and it just can't quite be fully perceived. there is a feeling of mystery in the air maybe something forgotten long long ago. just an echo
You know the "infinite monkey theorem"? Well my friends dad gets really drunk and thinks hes playing guitar when in reality he is just haphazardly plucking open chords and thinks its something. My point is, My friends dad is the monkey to Robbie Basho's Shakespeare. Except it will be a long time before he struggles this masterpiece out of him.
I discovered him on RU-vid last summer. Original talent of incredible skill and depth. No one like him, but also glad to have discovered Nick Drake, the Van Gogh of modern music, and Sixto Rodriguez, from Detroit of all places, and Karen Dalton, who was only recently discovered though she made a few albums in the seventies. One of her great songs, something on your mind, was written by her acquaintance, Dino Valenti , once the singer of the incomparable San Francisco band, Quick Silver. I should not forget to mention Jackson Frank, who made one album in mid sixties...a masterpiece. Strange to think that all these people could have met, as all had a connection to New York City.
Luisa Rey: "This is the Cloud Atlas Sextet? Record Shop Clerk: "I doubt there's more than a handful of copies in all of North America." Luisa Rey: "But I know it. I know I know it."
Not anymore - His song Blue Crystal Fire now has 1 million views! Very happy more people are discovering his music and he hasn't faded into complete obscurity.
This is unbelievably good, the guitar is close to his raga pieces, but from the voice I imagine something like a traditional North American chant...but I don't know, might be wrong
@@shantabraamyan3103 Strange, a couple weeks ago I tried to listen to the music contained in the gold record, but couldn't find them. And then I received your reply :0
Basho had a great pedigree and an incredible talent mixed with a truly unique sound. Added to the fact that fleeting few of us out here seem to know this man’s works makes him a truly hidden gem. I would like to see his back catalogue have a mild explosion of popularity due to being prominently featured in a film, that would be nice. More need to know as I am just discovering
Ive found him through pure luck coming fron a Dayle Stanley video he was a related video. It was falconers arm. And it reminded me of Fahey's playing. Both are special. Michael Hedges must have known of them. It would make sense.
1965...maybe ahead of his time for this style. Much like Bob Dylan in that sense; by 1965 he had released Highway 61 Revisited...waaayy out in front of his peers. Funny, I just heard of Basho by reading Fretboard Journal. I thought I knew of all of these kind of players.
There's a good Basho archive --very googlable--that has some of the songs in tab & a couple yahoo groups that are devoted to him, and finding out tunings etc. some songs are surprisingly easy to work out bit by bit with knowing the tuning and following with the music. Others.. are not.
I bought a kindle tab book from Italy that is terrible.There is not a single correct note in the transcriptions. In recent years I have studied with the best guitar teacher of my lifetime.We tabbed about 4 or 5 Basho songs and I think we found a better way to play" Blue Crystal Fire" than what several folks on YT demonstrate. We tabbed out" Rodeo" and "German chocolate Cake" dead on.I could send copies by email if you email me a address.
@@pedrobrando4606 thank you for your generosity. If you wouldn't mind could I have a copy? I need to learn a Basho song before my kid is born and I have not time! c d m o o r e 2 8 @ gmail com
@@pedrobrando4606 I've just happened to see this comment too. Huge Basho fan and I would incredibly grateful if you could share your hard work with me also! Many many thanks jbeesley25 at gmail dot com
For those wondering the tuning in this song is DFCFAC. The main riff type things are done on the high e string, slides from 5 to 9th fret, then 9th to 12th and back to 9th then 7th.
