Trace Bundy Twists Old Classical Tune

Trace Bundy does an acoustic guitar version of the old classical song "Pachelbel's Canon". I think even Pachelbel himself would be impressed. Sometimes he plays the bass line with his right hand, sometimes his left, sometimes his thumb.

He's incredible. His videos don't even compare to his live shows these days. Nonetheless, more cool videos on his website, including one where he uses a bunch of customized capos (five I think) and throws them all off at the end while he is playing. His website - www.TraceBundy.com

I think it's cool how the timing goes off. It's like he's playing based on nothing but emotion. it gives it a really Celtic sound.

he's tapping. watch his right hand. if you tap the fret, it will sound.

@ Everyone who doesn't know what they are talking about (apparently all of you). WHat he is doing is called hammer-ons and pull-offs. All you do is hit the string with your finger to make it sound, and if you pull your finger off it will continue to sound. Simple, really.

hey spazz, fuck you, *clap clap clap* for knowing what the fuck a hammer-on is, hes both tapping and hammer-oning, he has two hands you know, hes skilled but that wouldnt be all that hard, he just has alot of co-ordination, hes playing a chet atkins type style at one point.

holy fuck this is fucking amazing. Ive been playing guitar for 2 years and hes doing some of the hardest fucking things out there. For one its very hard to Hammer on and make the guitar sound as loud as it would be as you were strumming, but to also play the bassline while you are doing the solo? Wow!! 5/5

Trace is a tremendous player. Before seeing this, i never knew he existed, but this it truly a excellent example of how the internet can be educational and powerful to musicians. Guys like this, and bob zabek, Justin king etc. all are unknown and unheard of in the east coast round where i live. I especially enjoy this because i do a similar thing to cannon on my bass with my guitarist. we both tap some stuff out and feed off of eachother, not to the same extent as trace, but similar. Thanks to whoever posted this, and keep posting stuff like this in the future.
peace

Trace Bundy rules. I like Hot Capo Stew alot. I play guitar too, and believe me, what he does is amazing. Although other guitarists do it too, this guy is still good, cuz those techniques are still tricky/hard.

DaOhio.... It is completely mind-boggling to that you said that Trace Bundy is fucking terrible. First of all, it is completely disrespectful to slam another musician like that. If you are a true musician, you would know better than that.

If you are so much better than Trace, you must be making a fortune with your music. You must tour all over the country, if not the world. What is you website? I want you hear your music and watch your videos.

I am a musician myself. I've seen dozens of guitar players perform, and in my opinion, Trace Bundy puts on one of the best concerts around. Go to his website and listen to songs like Stones Serenade and Acoustic Ninja. Watch the rest of his videos. Go see him perform live.

Come on. Show a little respect man. Unbelievable.

@DaOhioBogfrog: your fucking stupid

@ the few ppl who said it was hammer ons and pulls offs : you still have to appreciate how hard it is to hammer on and pull off on an un-distorted guitar, especially an acoustic one, anyone can do it on an electric guitar with the gain turned to ten with .09s on, its a lot harder on an acoustic, now i know oyu all already know this, but for the people who dont play guitar, its pretty hard

I kind of agree with DaOhio. It sounds like crap. yes the harmonics are good but that`s not enough to make up for how it sounds. He needs to find a different technique. .5/5 talent or not, shit is shit
