Some Extreme Swiping

Hello everyone. I was looking around at some things on YouTube and happened to click on this Bernd Steidl clip. I remember listening to this album years ago and had since forgot all about it. I remember really liking what he was going for with his playing…it was right up my alley! :slight_smile: I also remember that there was something about his playing that seemed a little weird to me when he was picking his fast lines across the strings. Hearing it again after all these years I can really hear what I was noticing back then. He is using some very extreme swiping to my ears…almost like he is strumming when playing a single note line. I thought I would share this clip and see what you all thought. I have to say I do really enjoy a lot of his playing on here so it is not something that would stop me from enjoying it. In this clip you can really hear it.
