rick beato caused something of a social media storm of late stating modern music is rubbish. which, if you listen to the charts, is likely true, but if you listen to the charts then that's your own lookout. me, i've never known a time when music was so diverse or, it seems to me, there's so many players with so much talent. not rick beato's defintion of modern muic as chart music but hey ho. in that vein here's this. maybe not all to my taste but, for me, full of ideas i want to try  

midicake arp

 and this is why this'll be my next piece of gear 

tomoki tamura

 

takeo suzuki

 

paul galbraith

 i have no idea what this instrument is all about. but lovely

barre chords

 guitar, as with most things, is definitely improved with good technique. mine's is horrible and it all starts with poor technique. i like this guy's view on barreing. not saying i'll be able to do it tho! 

henrik nordbrandt

 i was saddened to hear that henrik nordbrandt died last year. he had a good innings so not so much that but more that, in the first place, i hadn't heard anything about it but also, these days, how little of his work is available in english, esp as i can hardly read danish these days. anyway, here's this doco form the louisiana channel 

felix rösch

 

18th century embroidery

nils frahm/antonio arvind

 i actuallly went to see antonio arvind not so long ago just to hear the glass harmonica!

klangriket and sjors mans

 

bassline techniques

 i like this vid because it illustrates (for me!) the need to practice with your gear until you understand the technique rather than the gear itself. similarly it doesn't matter if it's 'techno' and that's not your taste, it's about what your gear does, how you can learn that, and how you can apply it to your practice
