Annoying Twit Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Is that a bass string I see on this guitar? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaIN13aDbCc If not, where is the IMHO very nice and fitting occasional simple bass accompaniment coming from?

HowieBass Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I think that's all Michael Hedges - when he's had people like Michael Manring accompany him on (mostly) fretless bass, they're usually visible on stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hedges used to use some unusual tunings with very low (for an acoustic guitar) bass notes, not uncommonly G below the low E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 And one of the true masters of the Harp guitar. A really sad loss to music. I think he had so much more to offer. The guy was a genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks all. Surely for a G below low E, he would have to use a high gauge string, or it would just flop around uselessly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
