It drives me nuts when over a million people can watch a video and no one chooses to give it a like. I am sure more than 16k people were inspired by his playing. Give back people.

[greymatters]

He’s defiantly put in his 10k hours. Fantastic musician.

*Michael Hedges-Aerial Boundaries* (1984) was the groundbreaking album that shook the Acoustic Guitar World. RIP Michael Hedges (1953-1997).

Some people have just a ridiculous amount of talent. He is one of them.

[loganmowry]

He played at my high school years and years ago. I still remember getting full body chills when he played Where the Streets Have No Name

[davidwong]

I love how he just CANNOT stay still! The music is flowing through him. He is music.

[ricknelson]

After seeing Trace twice in live concert, in a very small theatre; I am still in awe at his talent and abilities. Simply mesmerizing.

[billyyee]

This is really great. He really made the guitar sing with sweet melodies and harmonies. I can hear him play all days... bless

My wife and I love watching Trace and have seen him perform live many times. He is a great entertainer, always bringing the audience right into the music with him. To top it off he is just a super person in real life. Come back to Texas Trace. Soon.

[TheManDownstairs]

I've never seen someone with so little talent, get that much applause.

[LargestClassifieds]

I see high level of artistry with magic touches

[TheMcquabbie]

A true artist that appreciates music theory, can paint a picture in your mind without lyrics.
True art, 👍
