Will do. Maybe you could do some compare and contrast videos of his playing before and after the "Roots to Branches" album. In the year or so before the recording of that album he actually took some lessons. I think that it is amazing that a person who had made a living playing a instrument for over 25 years can swallow their pride and say, "I could be better than I am."

It's unfortunate that that you have only begun to sample from Jethro Tull's 50+ year catalog of shear genius.7 time rolling stone magazine best instrumentalist Ian Anderson demonstrates his gift regularly in many genres and on varying instruments. His talents rate him as a true living Legend of music.

You say his name just fine? This is 2022 we've all been on the internet for many many years now at least those of us old enough I've traveled the world for companies in the pharmaceutical sector we are All One peoples

It's charming how you pronounce his name

I could listen to you talk all day I don't know what it is you're so intelligent and you remind me of one of my friends Larry from Dearborn Michigan in the United States we live together for a while he was a brilliant artist and when I say brilliant the words cannot even express the talent that this man possessed with a pen a pencil a piece of chalk a piece of broken glass anything he could look at you once and make a perfect photographic reproduction of you in black and white with a number two pencil it was absolutely spectacular I've been surrounded by artist my whole life my father was exactly the same and so is my grandfather and so is my son I'm somewhere in the middle not quite to that level not actually not anywhere near to that level if you're asking me but the intelligence seems to come with that and you remind me a lot of my friend Larry unfortunately Larry got sick in his passed away way way too young it is broke my heart. But the way you express yourself reminds me of him quite a bit I'd be curious to know if you adept at mathematics I have noted that accomplished musicians tend to be accomplished in mathematics as well I have been researching this for most of my adult life I have found that this paradigm seems to hold true in most cases and strictly true with guitar players especially and I don't know why guitar players tend to tighten up the statistic even to a greater extent perhaps I don't have enough numbers yet But at any rate I could listen to you talk all day you're just a wonderful person and I thoroughly enjoy your videos you are honest to a fault and that's where these days

Apparently Martin and Ian switched roles: Ian started as a guitarist and progressed to the flute, and Martin did it the other way around.

Thats why this gurl will be forgoten in a year or two when she gets a large amount of YT copywright strikes and Ian Anerson will be remembered as prog rock genius for eternity.

Martin actually had played flute longer than Ian had...

I think I read somewhere, that Ian Anderson injured his right hand specifically his pinky finger and that is why it looks like it does...

One of the most under-rated guitarists in the history of music!

THE most under-rated guitarist ever!

@@davebenjafield7037 No objection from me!

This is like if some mediocre classical guitarist starts complaining to Steve Vai's technique.

saw him in 76 do bongo in the jungle

It would seem he’s trying to look like a fairy from the fairytale 🧚‍♀️ renaissance with that look 👀

I hope she never watches the Jimi Hendrix video of him playing left-handed guitar, and then finding out later on he taught himself to play on a right handed guitar!

Sheer exuberance was exactly my thought, what he lacks in classical technique, he more than makes up with passion....

Completely right!

She is far more critical of Ian in this reaction than she has been in many others. Possibly it's partially a subconscious reaction to the very idea that such a novice upstart should be rocking Bach on her instrument...

@@haeuptlingaberja4927 Or how many flautists are treated like guitar gods?

No secret . Martin is the flute player on Reason For Waiting and Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square

It could have been worse. One name they performed under was "Candy Coloured Rain"! Cringe!

you and I know nothing about the flute but we both know this sounds great.

Great showman fantastic song writer and musician

Except Ian.

Are you from America? It's usually there that closed-hole flutes are considered "cheap, student-line" by default. :) In reality they can be high-end, too, and they're acoustically better than open-hole for classical music. Marcel Moyse's flute was always plateau, and many acousticians such as Dayton C. Miller and Arthur Benade consider open holes a significant flaw. In Miller's words, it's "the one acoustical crime that has been perpetrated against the Boehm flute".

That album is great the sound when it came out on CD was something I never heard. Tull was it love it all. I saw the once in the mid 80s open for Crimson . What a show

There is no clear cut definition of "right" or "wrong" in entertainment. If people choose to pay for your performance, you are doing it correctly. Ian succeeded very well.

I agree. I tend to find classical music to be rigid, restrictive and too precise. Classical musicians and teachers seem to waste their energy waiting for the performer to make a technical mistake. Classical musicians seem more concerned with technique and intellectualizing everything - making it more in the head than in the heart. If a classical flautist attempted to play any of Ian Anderson's flute pieces it would sound too pure, boring and flat with no emotion because they have been brought up in a stiff and rigid classical mind set.
