Blind & Badass

[SlimTrae]

Have no clue as a guitar lover could have missed this guy for over a decade. I always grab some random cds at the library when I take my road trip from Ohio to Wisconsin and this dude blew me away as a guitar player - but to see him be able to play percussion at the same time was one thing, then to hear him use his mouth as a trumpet, almost fought tears listening to him sing and become a trumpet player.
Anyone else ever heard of him?
Raul Midon!

Feel free to post any other blind musicians!




His singing and playing is so beautiful! Was It Ever really Love!

@SlimTrae damn in the badass and blind song at about 2 minutes and 50 seconds the dude just started taking flight, it reminded me of George Benson, and by the time he came out of it at about 3 minutes and 21 seconds it was like a flight on the back of a blue butterfly... from 3:16 until 3:21 it was a symphony inside of water droplets. as he came in for the landing

What a player. He has real mastery over the neck.

Jeff Healey.

Nice one B! I've watched a few vids over the years but never knew his name. And to see him jamming when with my boys Sanborn, Hakim and the slap master Marcus Millers as young lads is funny! Man, they are all putting it down on this one!

[SlimTrae]

Damn, Healey makes me wanna pawn my guitar or give it away. Good Gawd-amighty! He got that baby screaming!

[SlimTrae]

Backup Plan- I'mnot your man.
Just in case....won't win the race.
Got to put the petal to the metal.
Wow!

Love how he combines percussion with his playing.

Quincy introducing the one man horn section! Is that a young Stanley Clark on the upright bass?! I think it is!

[NoSavingByTheBell]

Yes that is Stanley Clarke. I think he was also in the band return to forever at this time with Lenny white on drums Chick corea on keyboards and Al Di meola on guitar.

That is McCoy tyner on the piano and man is he smoking
