The Most Unexpected Acoustic Guitar Performance | The Showhawk Duo | TEDxKlagenfurt

Music works a lot like language does – except instead of words and ideas, it expresses emotions and intent. It also gives us an oxytocin boost, which plays an important role in increasing bonding and trust between people. The Showhawk Duo bonded TEDxKlagenfurt’s audience with their spectacular approach to playing the guitar. Listen to the magic they created on stage with their version of Insomnia – I can’t get no sleep, Tiesto’s Adagio For Strings or the most unexpected thing you can expect on a guitar Bohemian Rhapsody. Young British guitarists Mikhail Asanovic and Jake Wright, together known as The Showhawk Duo, started out as buskers and have since gone on to play all over the globe. They have appeared on BBC Radio 1 on the Nick Grimshaw’s Breakfast Show, they performed for the LAD Bible and BBC Radio Bristol. They played at the UK’s large festivals including the Main Stage at Bestival, Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Wilderness, Somersault and more. International performances include F1 Grand Prix in Singapore, Seychelles, club tours in Spain, Switzerland and the Netherlands and a 20 – date residency at Pacha in Ibiza. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

C'mon people, doesn't everyone know the words to Bohemian Rhapsody? Oh I'd get that audience singing at the top of their lungs, or I would just belt it out even though I can't carry a tune. Louder people, sing louder.

As a muso who has played to audiences over the years I can tell you its quite difficult and requires concentration to keep your timing when there are people clapping out of time. It always amuses me that so many people simply cannot clap in time ands reading all the other comments it seems Im not alone
