- The fan-dubbed “Acoustic Ninja” must be seen to be believed, using harmonics, looping, multiple capos, and his unique banter and stage presence to deliver an unforgettable live experience. Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing, but seeing him play live confounds even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers. Internationally-acclaimed guitar virtuoso Trace Bundy shares his musical artistry with us this year. Fan-dubbed “The Acoustic Ninja,” his music must be seen to be believed, using harmonics, looping, and multiple capos to confound even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers. Trace’s witty banter and stage presence delivers an unforgettable live concert experience.
Trace is based in Boulder, but his unique career has brought him across the world, with concerts in 28 countries and counting -- from high-tech performance halls in South Korea and Italy, to remote villages in Zimbabwe and Guatemala. His video clips have circulated virally, with over 43 million RUclips views to date. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Stretching the limits of how many capos you can own
😆i have one
Most underated comment ever i would give this 20k likes if I could🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂
Lmao
Dude you win the internet lol
Those are antenna to the mother ship not capos
It drives me nuts when over a million people can watch a video and no one chooses to give it a like. I am sure more than 16k people were inspired by his playing. Give back people.
dude who cares, they mean nothing, its a youtube video
He’s defiantly put in his 10k hours. Fantastic musician.
Some people have just a ridiculous amount of talent. He is one of them.
ja, tatsächlich!
whats behind?
He played at my high school years and years ago. I still remember getting full body chills when he played Where the Streets Have No Name
I love how he just CANNOT stay still! The music is flowing through him. He is music.
I think that’s the ADHD 😂
WAOW, absolutely magical! ❤👏👏👏👏👏
Say what you will and apparently many have, but to deny this guy's ability to understand the soundscape and his ability to own his instrument is disingenuous.
After seeing Trace twice in live concert, in a very small theatre; I am still in awe at his talent and abilities. Simply mesmerizing.
A very similar artist to Trace (this is my first time discovering Trace by the way, and wow, what an amazing, creative talent!) I've discovered is a guy named Mike Dawes.. check him out if you like Trace, hopefully I hit the nail on the head and pointed you to someone you haven't come across yet just like I did with Trace. Cheers!
So this is what August Rush is up to these days!!
Awesome reference. Great movie too
The guitar is blessed 😊
This is really great. He really made the guitar sing with sweet melodies and harmonies. I can hear him play all days... bless
As a guitarist, there's nothing he's doing here that's really that impressive. Many others have done all of this stuff before him, and none of it is really that hard.
andybaldman, agreed. This is by no means “stretching the limits of the acoustic guitar.” No way he doesn’t know who Hedges, Dufour, Graham, Ross, etc are. Bold title for someone who wouldn’t be 100th string (pun intended) to open up for any of those men
It's fairly advanced technique. Takes years to learn.
But you're right. Nothing truely unique here. He's talented but "pushing the limits of acoustic guitar" is kinda overselling it
Human Voice....
Still the greatest instrument of all time... when attached to the human heart.
what? this is a guitar video
No big deal just 20k of acoustics on stage…
Beautiful guitars 🥺❤️
He has reached the astronaut level.
My wife and I love watching Trace and have seen him perform live many times. He is a great entertainer, always bringing the audience right into the music with him. To top it off he is just a super person in real life. Come back to Texas Trace. Soon.
You know you're passionate about guitar when you can't sit still while playing it
Exactly 😁
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
He’s got worms 🤣🤣
Called being a musician and keeping time lmao
Brill love it
finding my way home to a blakean world of eternal delight
T. Bundy at a Ted talk killing some strings 😂
Where the streets have no name, that was amazing traveling will open new doors
A true artist that appreciates music theory, can paint a picture in your mind without lyrics.
True art, 👍
true but there is always a title to the song isn't there, and some backstory.
There doesn't have to be
Thank you Michael Hedges.
Thank you, Michael Hedges.
I think he would dig it
He was dancing with the guitar. Beautiful
"stretching the limits of acoustic guitar"
Marcin Patrazalek : Hold my capo.
Breaks a nail
Tommy Emmanuel "limits! On a guitar?! Hold my beer."
Ok now I will search for this Tommy guy...
Holy....... he is great!!! and doesn't even own a single CAPO!!!
If u like him check out ichika nito, tim Henson and manuel gardner fernandez, these guys are great guitarists too
Eddie Van Halen: "You're already holding my beer, I did all this back in the 70's. Without loop pedals."
7:57🔥🔥gem of a riff.
I see high level of artistry with magic touches
U2 would be proud...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 brilliant... Irish viewer 🇮🇪
He is very good with his fingers.
"I capo my capos."
At 11:24, it's felt like people starts singing along but it was just eco,, hats off 🙌
So many dislikes, so les likes? I don't understand. Because this man is amazing !!!
Awesome, if i was listening only, i wouldnt have believed this was one musician and one instrument.
Thanks to RUclips I get to listen to these brilliant musicians.
it*s not only amazing!... it*s fantastic, gorgeous,,, there*s no superlative to describe it... thank you!...
as great as they come
Trace is a good friend of my Cousin, Met him at his wedding. Great guy and amazing musician
thats so cool!
The return of Ted - Bundy!
lol
So cool people with the gift!
Pleasant music!
I wish I could have played guitar like this in my college days 😉
Just like the progression of life, these outstanding guitarists are bringing new tech and ideas to amaze us! However, young guitarists do not be dismayed play the best you can with what you have. Some of the finest classical players I know can blow an audience away playing a Bach Suite on a $300.00 Yamaha. I say this taking nothing away from this fabulous player! PEACE
Saved in every playlist i have on RUclips! 🤍
With hints of YES! in "Bristlecone."
Other world finger dexterity and great melodic compositions
Amazing... do check his last play... wow.. I didn’t want him to stop.. love from India
Never heard of the bloke but he is absolutely brilliant (Y)
great... reminded me of the great Michael Hedges!!
I went from sleepy eyes shutting to as soon he starts playing I became the sun ☀
I didn’t know Ted Bundy could play the guitar too! Wow that guy was a man of so many talents
I love how he explains the story behind the music,I do get that wild adrenaline rush flowing vibe when you get get a tone trying to evolve around your head ready to be sorted out and you suddenly get restless ready to play
Ted is so good!
I can dig it 😎 Thanks Scotty
8:50 Will be forever my absolute favourite rendition of this track!!! Just incredible!!! 💚💚💚
which track is it please??
Yes please share, it sounds like some other famous songs but with some alterations.
Wow! I'm surprised how many great persons play so greatest the guitar. God gave us this talent...I'm glad to listen these people!
Talent comes from practice and perhaps genetics. I fail to see how it could come from anywhere else.
@@peliusrex2730 where do these genetics come from, or the motivation to become so practiced? From the Christian perspective these are answered with God
@@macheavage1058 Genes come from a combination of the parents genes and random mutation.
Amazing from acoustic guitar
I've never seen someone with so little talent, get that much applause.
Bro, all you need to play is the beginning of “nothing else matters”... Guitar god instantly
😆its easy tho
I'm just a guy fr?
Alfons yeah bro
@@alfons2041 yea the intro is easy and a lot of blokes already practice it as soon they know which string is what named lol
an Hylian damn people have a hard time catching sarcasm
Trace BUNDY as a TED talk.
He played the guitar like a piano, drum, violin, and a guitar. Woah😳
First time watching this.. im awestruck. Fantastic performance
his guitar looks like a mad scientist
This brings me back to the days when I would replay "duelling ninjas" on the DVD in slow mo trying to learn it. So much talent before Andy Mckee and Candyrat became big.
Man, agreed. Mckee and the folks on the Candyrat label almost made me stop playing guitar, knocking me down a few pegs because for a while there, I thought I was actually good.
That album was seminal in my guitar education. Actually, a couple buddies and I worked it out so that Trace came up to Canada and played a show we could attend. It was amazing. Back in the green-pedal DL-4 days.
Everything is build on the shoulders of what came before. Recording acoustic guitar solos wasn't really a thing until Fahey got in the game and started Takoma Records. Hedges came later with an entirely different approach through Windham Hill. It's not that different from how people carry e.g. the blues or jazz tradition in different directions today.
Wonderful!
Love the harbor freight commercial
This was a feast for my ears.
Dude! Thank you! Where the streets have no name made me shiver... love it!
Delayed sound becomes the background melody for the tune, genius!
A street without no name just blew my mind,EPIC!!
there are no limits to acoustic guitar.. it’s an orchestra itself
I saw this guy play with multiple capos back in 2004, back in the MySpace days. Blew my mind. Good to see he’s still out there!
Cant have words to describe the feelings.
ineffable
Wow. Absolutely amazing. I have no words beyond that.
I think WOW says it all !!!
Yes that was amazing
Incredible performance, skill, talent, ability, etc. Simply amazing.
Wowww! That was an impressive performance. 👍👏
We were so lucky when we lived in Colorado to see Trace live on multiple occasions. This video reminds me how great and gifted guitarist he truly is.
I don't have a Trace of his talent
I do live looping and have been playing the guitar for 30 years and that was VERY impressive! AWESOME!!! :)
Any idea why he has 4 capos on that guitar?
This is just the most amazing thing on an acoustic guitar. Trace Bundy is a master.
Show at the ball
Unreal.
10:31 Epic !!!
Amazing what these guys can do with a acoustic guitar and amplifier setup...Bravo.
Beautiful
Waiting for through the fire and the flames
I had to keep replaying this because I love how you create on your guitar just as it it were a canvas. I like it when I do my Art, it's a very individual style and I love it!
Some people have never heard of Michael Hedges. He was playing like this, and better, 25 years ago, without the effects, and with maybe one capo.
Michael did it with sheer mastery of the guitar not all the tech gimmickry. If you take the tech away I wonder how many of these players could really play and how well.
He was waaaay better. This guy is a poser, a mediocre guitarist
Non è mai troppo tardi di sentire e capire chi è bravo
Galing!!!
Who dislikes a video like this? What's not to like. The guy is incredibly talented and engaging. Rhythm and bass lines are really cool, given he is a one-man show. Well done!
Cool rendition of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Names"
One of the best performance in my life I m looking
10:20 The best part
Shout out to U2 for writing one of the greatest songs of all time and shout out to this guy for paying homage.
Amazing.
Incroyable!!! Jamais entendu des sons pareils sortir d'une guitare. À New King of the strings!!!
Good luck Boy.... Don't stop till the End !!!!! Bye bye Man. Chris. France
Amazing skill and creativity, a gift for sure.. but the passion behind it! Thank you for sharing it with us.
