So cool. I'm going to have to steal so much of this. Thanks for sharing.

You're on a roll tonight.
This is just wonderful guitar-ing. I don't have proper words for the slow-burn intensity of non-western lutenists' quick, fluttering, intricate, motivic, ___.

Make sure to check the last one, if only for the giant cobra set piece.

I was watching the first video and thinking it was from the 70s and then noticed the keyboard and re-calibrated my mind to the late 80s and then I saw the smart phone taking vids. LOL

Yeah, enough cues and associations appear familiar, visual and musical, but it's discombobulating, a parallel reality. What a funny world.

I was waiting for the delorean with the mr. fusion to show up in the background. somehow of a time and yet timeless.

Apparently, the one guitar is a Jolana, though I hardly think the type of guitar matters:  |

Apparently, the one guitar is a Jolana, though I hardly think the type of guitar matters: It's pretty interesting actually, the timbre of those things is distinct and the regional economy supports a limited range of options. Their traditions are being clearly defined by that market. Like metal depends on humbuckers and distortion, country is recognizable by twang and dreadnoughts, new age needs synth pads. From our western aegis of plurality and "choice", the specificity of their palette is striking. The strictly male thing nags at me too. They're not easy conditions to reconcile or understand. |

Am I crazy or do I recall seeing a post about another exotic style of guitar playing where the guitarists mainly played modified Fender copies, with scalloped fretboards and curved frets similar to a sitar. I remember the music being particularly mind-blowing. For the life of me I can't remember the nationality of this particular style but I remember a quite interesting article on it. Anyone have a clue?
