Barry 472 Report post Posted August 25, 2018 I have always been a fan of this music and have used the original on an Audio Visual called The Blue Mountains However, I came across this version recently, which I think is superb to listen to and watch this guy play the theme on ONE guitar. A solo Weissenborn arrangement of John William's 'Jurassic Park Theme' by Thomas Oliver. 2 1 Morturn, joan mb and PhilG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tinion 45 50 Report post Posted August 27, 2018 Lovely playing, great tone, fantastic finger picking, thanks for sharing. Never come across the weissenborn guitar before but it looks different to a normal guitar with no frets, probably because it's a slide guitar and looks like it uses the fret area beneath as part of it's sound box. I like watching James Taylor on you tube teaching how he plays his songs with a camera inside the sound box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VitoB 3 Report post Posted August 27, 2018 Yes Barry, a great slide man indeed. I've quite a few tracks by Thomas and his band. Based in Wellington, he's one of the best to come out of NZ. Take a listen to his masterful version of 'Coming Back To Life' by Pink Floyd if you can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barry 472 Report post Posted August 27, 2018 I had never heard of the Weissenborn guitar, but it popped up in YouTube feed while I was watching one on the making of guitars. Given that this music is a favourite of mine it worked with me straight away. I haven’t listened to Thomas with his band much, just the instrumentals on the Weissenborn, but I will do. This guy has talent and he has definitely paid his 10,000 hours price to learn to play like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
