I just posted this video I recorded yesterday on a Zoom Q3 of an improvisation that bears influence form both Keith Jarret and Michael Hedges, The Hedges influence is obvious, but the Jarret influence is more in spirit than style. I was deeply effected by his Koln Concert recordings in my early twenties. I wanted to play the guitar the way he played the piano, with that flowing lyricism, range of emotion, and fearlessness to start an idea and see where it takes you. I still want to.
