Hedges referred to his style as "heavy mental" and "new edge," among other names, with the ability to range from soft and self-absorbed to as aggressive as acoustic playing gets. On the albums <I>Aerial Boundaries</I> and <I>Live On the Double Planet</I>, he invented, perfected or reinvigorated many extended techniques on the guitar, from his violent two-handed tapping and frenzied Ritchie Havens strumming to bright percussive harmonics and deep, contemplative drones. His guitars were often tuned in a manner to allow rich, open-sounding harmonies and multiple intertwining melodies -- most prominently on his large combination harp-guitar. He died in late 1997 following an automobile accident on the Northern California coast. - Jessy TerryNew Age Acousticen720Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:15:18 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1898&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fmichael-hedges%2Fplaylists.rss It's almost a shame to label him a new age artist, for Michael Hedges' guitar playing was so incredible, it transcended countless stylistic boundaries.
