Hedges genius revealed in the “Slow Series”

“When you strip away the performance elements, it really captures the essence of his compositions. It shows why Hedges was a great, unique guitarist – because he was a composer first. Everything from tuning to note selection to rest strokes – all chosen deliberately. He does not just finger anything just because it's idiomatic to the guitar. And as a guitarist, learning these pieces is like learning a new instrument.”

“It was a genius move to film Michael teaching his best tunes !!!!! thanks for sharing !! this video is a great document and will definitely help a lot the transcription of Michael's music into score/tablature, which in its turn will allow more and more guitarrists all over the world to play his music !!!”

“So much life in these videos that it's hard to believe he is gone. Grateful to you Randy for this healing. We sure need it. Cheers.”
