I learned this technique about 20 years ago from watching the great Romanian violinist Nicolae Neacșu, of Taraf de Haïdouks, perform it in a documentary called Latcho Drom(1993). He used horse hair, I use polyester 😊 #guitar #tarafdehaïdouks #preparedguitar #experiential #music #fresh 06 Nov 2025 When my brother Andrew and I were teenagers growing up in Providence, Rhode Island, we were lucky to meet a bunch of musicians from Mali who had recently emigrated to the US. Most of them were Wasati Muslim. They cooked and lived together in a few small apartments and each one was a master musician. Our dad Phil became their dentist after one drummer, Issa, reported to his crew that our dad was some kind of saint after he fixed Issa’s teeth for free. Phil did this for all the guys. In return for this gesture, they let Andrew and I sit in on their drum/dance classes and hang out at their apartment, where we learned so much about Malian music and culture. These guys would hang out with the TV on, drums and ngonis in their laps, laugh at the commercials, then mute the TV when whatever show was on and play music. It was a revelation every time they played. The peanut stew was incredible. We’ve lost track of most of these guys, except for Abdul Doumbia, who was the first of his crew to come over, and who, back in 1998, brought Andrew to Mali for an immersive month of drum study. He now teaches African drumming and dance in Colorado. If this administration continues to enforce its unconstitutional, rogue immigration laws and intimidation tactics, and if it continues to fuel a culture of fear and hatred of anyone who looks, talks, sings, dresses, prays, eats, or otherwise orients themselves in a way that’s DIFFERENT from however this administration WANTS you to think America should be, we will be depriving EVERYONE of the gifts of living in a multi-cultural/multi-ethnic society. Music, art, science, business, education, etc., as we know it in North America, would not exist without the contribution of immigrants past and present. 22 Jan 2026 This melody has been creeping around my door for a couple years. Some of the lyrics I’ve written for it: Through my window I see a darkness And in that darkness I see myself And in myself I see you with me Love protect us Everyone To see where I learned this technique, check out the Romanian violinist Nicolae Neacşu(1924-2002) from the group Taraf de Haïdouks in the 1993 film Latcho Drom #guitar #solo #string #gospel #acoustic 05 Mar 2026 Loved you so much, we both just kinda needed to move on. I know you’ll find someone new who will treat you right, maybe better than I ever could. Let’s still hang out sometimes, ok? #piano #stride #eubieblake #memories #monk 06 Nov 2026 24 second lessons. New series pilot :) This fingering could be a gateway to some new ideas. Even if it doesn’t, it’s a good warm up :) #lesson #guitar #tutorial #instrumental #scale 28 Oct 2026 Keep going. There’s a lot of sickness in our society. There’s a lot of reasons we have for why we drink or use, even when it’s making our lives worse. But if it stops working for you, the way it did for me, the life that awaits you on the other side of addiction is so rich and full and potent. I didn’t know it then but I’m so grateful I understand that now. #sober #acceptance #peace #music #clarity 18 Oct 2026 On the last night of @peoplefestivalberlin , a couple hours before several hundred of us said goodbye to the Funkhaus(our musical home base for the week), I took a moment to appreciate the empty building and the upstairs reverb room in its concrete stillness. Rose petals on the floor from something that happened there, echoes of my friend’s voices still in the high ceilings… I felt overcome by gratitude. Thank you @peoplefestivalberlin , @hicksonmary , Tom and Nadine, Josh and all the techs, and all the amazing musicians that made this week so magical. “How the Heroine Dies” #music #people #reverb #berlin #originalsong 16 Oct 2026 So grateful for this moment at People Festival Berlin and for these generous musicians—In case you can’t tell, we’ve tied threads to a bunch of these guitars and I’m pulling them while the other guitarists fret the notes, playing “Growing Up Sideways”. #guitar #experimental #music #originalsong #string 12 Oct 2026 Something I started writing with my friend @isaactaylormusic , found it on a voice memo from last year. #guitar #quiet #latenight #offbeat #gibson 30 Sep 2026 I’m often at a loss for words these days. So much for us to take in and take on. From the genocide in Gaza to the killing in Congo to the politics and practices of this unhinged Trump administration to the ongoing discrimination of the LGBTQ community …too much suffering and too much callousness. I usually feel like I’m not doing enough. Staying connected to you is a lifeline. Staying grounded in creativity and meditation is medicine. Reaching out to friends keeps me sane. I don’t have the words today, but I can offer this at this moment, and hope it helps you feel connected and sane. #guitar #experimental #acoustic #string #peace 29 Sep 2026 we love secret city friendships 🥹 #secretcity20 #montreal #popmtl #concert 25 Sep 2026 Something to play around with. Hope it’s useful to someone! I first encountered these three string rolls in Boston, from my friend Boubacar Diabate from Bamako, Mali(the song “Bouba’s Bounce” is a tribute to him). It’s also worth mentioning how useful the open strings are with this technique. Not necessary, but more possibilities emerge with it when we’re playing in keys where open strings can be used. ❤️Brad #guitar #tutorial #acoustic #howto #lesson 24 Sep 2026
