It must be one of life's greatest rewards to be acclaimed as a master at something. When it comes to playing the harpejji, French musician Mathieu Terrade is probably the most celebrated.
A few "notes" about this unique instrument:
- Developed in 2007 by Tim Meeks, founder of Marcodi Musical Products.
- The instrument aims to bridge the gap in sound and technique between the guitar, bass guitar, and piano.
- Stevie Wonder features the instrument in his stage performance
- There are no formal rules on how to play the instrument and new techniques are emerging all the time.
Next is the classic Queen hit, "Bohemian Rhapsody".
This Beatles favorite is a montage video, in which the two types of Harpejjis are played- the 12- and the 24-string instruments.
And finally, here's his take on the timeless Jim Croce song "Time in a Bottle."
