Any great original is like that. Comprised of elements we can't fully grasp. Blindness was an asset. Made him depart from norms that constrain you, me, and most others. And that's where he started and kept going and takes it a little further each day. He's one of those rarities. The knuckle-headed soundperson at this gig is from the other end of the spectrum. ;)
You r a genius human in the world no one was equal to your play god gave some other talent s ❤❤❤ I am praying let god must give vission to you must see the world this is my request to god u r very great Rory 🙏 regards wonder sir I can not play like u. You are blessed in others way little change now also u r Mr amazing sir
Sound guy is FIRED
That harmonica sounding like a full on accordion was just mind boggling
It's a testament to Rory's genius that I keep watching this despite the painful sound problems.
Amazing video , very bad sound quality recording :(
As a professional '' guitarist '' for over 40 yrs. I can't begin to fathom much less explain the phenom of Rory Hoffman.

He has his complete own sound and style that NO conventional guitarist could ever achieve. I have NEVER heard anything quite like this.
How rude, brutal, and against any taste, to be interrupted by commercial ads inbetween such a sensitive music!
Shame on you RUclips!
The sound engineer should be ashamed of themselves.
Did the engineers buy the cables from wal-mart?
I think we've all been playing the guitar wrong for centuries.
seriously the sound quality is absolutely terrible.
literally a sad excuse of your channel. an insult to an amazing artist.
@Rocknrolladube the live sound has 2.5 K feedback when he's talking too
mute the ungrounded guitar when he's not playing it! The sound techs are not professional level.
I can’t believe this was posted. The clipping is ruining the entire video. TEDx NASHVILLE???? No excuses....someone needs to get demoted....
I remember my first time sending an output to a recording deck as a sound engineer
Amazing performance to Rory!
Wow this is amazing how doesn't this have more views...
best Ted Talk I've ever seen
Just discovered Rory. True genius.
Audio is horrible, but the laying is fantastic.
Jeff Healy,Rory Hoffman both brilliant .both blind,both self taught
Wonderful 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
wow
Shame on TED talks for allowing this horrible audio for a virtuosic genius musician to be given this terribly edited video
I like the way Rory thinks and plays melody with self accompany. He is a .musical genius that has few equals.
So he basically turned the harmonica into an accordion. Amazing
mind blowing musician (glad to hear see phenoms are still out there) thanks You Tube
SOUND GUY IS FIRED!
quelle magnifique interprétation des feuilles mortes super virtuose !!!!!!!!!
Amazing talent, shameful sound engineer.
The guitar playing reminds me of the GREAT Joe Pass.
Well, I think I've been holding the guitar in the wrong way!
Ted.. how ya gonna have an audio engineer that botches the gain staging for a legend?
How else can anyone pronounce Love? Oh How I love you!! How can anyone not love this cry for love?

Rory "The Avenger" Hoffman

Every time I hear the guy I just want to grab my guitar and throw it out of the window.

Wow such great talent.
Jaw dropping!
Fantastico
Amazing !
What was the tune he played on the harmonica? I recognize it, but I can't pinpoint the name.
+Dave Ellis: It's called "Nature Boy." Nat King Cole and several others performed it.
Nature Boy
Rory Hoffman is a phenomenal instrumentalist, a passable vocalist and an ok songsmith.
