- 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 CZcams 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
I love how he just CANNOT stay still! The music is flowing through him. He is music.
I think that’s the ADHD 😂
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
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!
This is really great. He really made the guitar sing with sweet melodies and harmonies. I can hear him play all days... bless
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.
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.
Incredible performance, skill, talent, ability, etc. Simply amazing.
He’s defiantly put in his 10k hours. Fantastic musician.
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
Amazing what these guys can do with a acoustic guitar and amplifier setup...Bravo.
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 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!
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
Absolutely stunning performance,I can’t wait to hear the next , concert, 💫😌💫
It is so good to see people play well and really use the tools around that instrument well.
Redefinindo tudo! A história da música, pode descrita antes e depois desse cara! Show demais!
Thanks to CZcams I get to listen to these brilliant musicians.
You are blessed,thank you for sharing your talent with us!❤️🇺🇸🙏
I see high level of artistry with magic touches
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 just a ridiculous amount of talent. He is one of them.
ja, tatsächlich!
whats behind?
Dude! Thank you! Where the streets have no name made me shiver... love it!
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
very enjoyable.....and then he finished with my favorite band....loved it
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!
An artist that is as beautiful to watch play as it is to listen
Just amazing! What a talent 👏👏👏
Great performance! I loved it !
Amazing skill and creativity, a gift for sure.. but the passion behind it! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Entertaining, the audience appreciated his talent and even tho they may not be aware of the electronics, he has put in the work that goes into syncing delays, loops, etc. good job.
Human Voice....
Still the greatest instrument of all time... when attached to the human heart.
what? this is a guitar video
So this is what August Rush is up to these days!!
Awesome reference. Great movie too
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
This touches parts of my soul I didn't knew I got 🙌
WOW....Amazing talent. I love the use of technology and raw talent. Brilliant
Cant have words to describe the feelings.
ineffable
7:57🔥🔥gem of a riff.
I Just man cried. thank you.
Absolutely Wonderful!
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.
Such a great Ted talk! There is so much you can do with an insturment than it's primary use. Great job!
Pure talent and creativity .....beyond great
Damn, I got the chills listening to his last song...what an artist. God Bless for creating so many smiles.
Wowww! That was an impressive performance. 👍👏
This was a feast for my ears.
Breathe of fresh air. Love it.
Thanks you brought me great joy. You have the best stage presence I’ve ever seen. Happy in your own skin. Inspired me thanks
"I capo my capos."
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?
Best I have ever herd of your Solo U2 Song Ever!!!!!!! God bless and great job
Awesome, if i was listening only, i wouldnt have believed this was one musician and one instrument.
This is just the most amazing thing on an acoustic guitar. Trace Bundy is a master.
He was dancing with the guitar. Beautiful
Beautiful amazing soul . Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.
WAOW, absolutely magical! ❤👏👏👏👏👏
The earthquaker devices plus pedal is amazing. It can get you those sounds in the first part of the first song. I loved mine. Just ran out of places that I could use it in my songs. Glad to see someone use it in such an effective way.
Thank you, Michael Hedges.
I think he would dig it
Marvelous !
Beautiful! Very talented!!
Amazing... do check his last play... wow.. I didn’t want him to stop.. love from India
Trace is a good friend of my Cousin, Met him at his wedding. Great guy and amazing musician
thats so cool!
Wow. Absolutely amazing. I have no words beyond that.
I think WOW says it all !!!
That was beautiful!!!
brought tears to my eyes....amazing talent....amazing interpretation of U2
What I think is absolutely wild is his complete comfort and consistency. He must have practiced these things thousands upon thousands of times, trying out all sorts of different techniques and figuring out a way to not only integrate them into a song, but do it so seamlessly that his playing looks natural.
In his last song, I was watching his strumming hand during the "singing" parts, and his hand movements were so perfectly consistent that I couldn't even tell when he was switching to different strings for the melody OR baseline. He was using what looked like all five fingers on different strings to strum in two different rhythms, and the pattern was so clean that it was hard to tell which finger was actually hitting a string at any time.
He's so good. That is simply incredible.
First time watching this.. im awestruck. Fantastic performance
Yes that was amazing
I wish I could have played guitar like this in my college days 😉
Never heard of the bloke but he is absolutely brilliant (Y)
Amazing!
Wonderful!
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.
Where the streets have no name, that was amazing traveling will open new doors
amazing talents
Amazing.
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.
Wow nicely done! Love the different echo effects at the end. It really blended together. Amazing job!
What A Musician, What A Personality, What A Presentation. Thank You for sharing and God Bless 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
it sounds good in my ears
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

T. Bundy at a Ted talk killing some strings 😂

Wow, I've never heard it played that way 😍
Awesome!
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."
The return of Ted - Bundy!
lol
Literally the third song made my tears come out just like that
Incredible!!!!!
Damn.
I didn’t know Ted Bundy could play the guitar too! Wow that guy was a man of so many talents
Awesome. Makes me really miss Michael Hedges R.I.P.
The guitar is blessed 😊
