trace bundy 一个把指弹发挥到出神入化地步的宗师级人物 Trace Bundy， 美国人出生于Austin,MN. 11岁开始弹吉他。由于无法支付吉他课程的费用，跟大多数的吉他爱好者一样，Trace也是自己看书学习吉他。由于自学吉他对他后期形成自己一套的弹奏技巧与风格有着很大影响。 Trace的技巧基本上囊括了木吉他上常见的高难度技巧，以精彩的点弦与泛音一举成名。Youtube上面的他那首Canon in D相信不少木吉他爱好者都看过。他的歌曲精彩在于没有“堆积技术”，不少非常好的吉他手都过于追求技术上的突破，为了表现出让听众都瞠目咂舌的技巧而忽略了音乐本身。 他的歌曲给人一种很舒畅的感觉，听起来很轻松，不像听Michael Angel的时候要不停的数他一秒弹了多少个音出来。懂吉他的听众在听的过程除了可以感受到他纯熟的技巧之外，还能欣赏他的音乐的精彩之处；不玩吉他的听众也能很容易的从他的音乐中感受到作者的意境。 Biography I was born in Austin, MN (you know, where SPAM is made) and moved to the small town of Buena Vista, CO. I first started playing guitar when I was about 11 or 12 years old when my brother Greg and I both chipped in $5 to buy a $10 acoustic guitar from a guy named Herbie. We didn’t know where to start so we picked up a guitar magazine and learned how to play a song by Metallica. Although I was not a fan of heavy metal, that was what I originally learned to play, on acoustic guitar of course. Shortly after, I learned how to play some chords and songs like Johnny B. Goode and various Def Leppard hits. I could never afford lessons so everything I learned was on my own, learning other people’s songs, making up my own stuff, etc. I became very interested in why music sounds good and why different notes and chords seem to work together. This got me very interested in music theory. I started to figure out the patterns that exist in most music, and started to put names to my discoveries like “Trace’s 7 chord theory”, etc. (later in college I took a basic music theory class and found that all of my discoveries already existed and had big important sounding names). The more music theory I learned, the more I started writing my own songs, trying to incorporate my new discoveries into my music. I met Jonah Werner (now a rising acoustic folk songwriter star) in high school and started playing with him at the (only) local coffee shop in Buena Vista – mostly Jackopierce and other various folky songs. I then hooked up with Tim from Newcomers Home and started playing old Dylan and Cat Stevens tunes. We all attended CU in Boulder, CO and still continue to play together from time to time. Meanwhile, my style of playing started gaining influence from a variety of musicians such as David Wilcox, Ani Difranco, and Phil Keaggy. I stopped using a pick when I realized I could play more complex music using all five of my fingers. My musical style continues to change as I experiment with different ideas and explore new territories. It’s been such a great journey from the time when I first played that old acoustic guitar (thanks Herbie). I truly enjoy the guitar and look forward to the times throughout the day when I can pull it out and try out some new stuff. I have so much fun whenever I play and consider it a blessing to get to share my music with other people. I hope you enjoy! Trace Bundy 我Trace Bundy出生在奥斯汀。 我刚开始玩儿吉他，是当我十一、二岁的时候， 我和哥哥各凑了5美元，从一个叫Herbie的家伙那里 买了一把10美元的箱琴，但我们不知道该从哪里学起， 于是我们就拿起一本吉他杂志，开始学习弹奏Metallica金属乐队的作品。 尽管我不是特别喜欢重金属，但这是我在箱琴上面最开始玩儿的东西。 不久，我就开始弹一些和弦和象Johnny B. Goode 的歌曲和各种 Def Leppard 的点击弦技巧。 我因为支付不起学费，所以一切都是靠自己来自学。我学习别人的乐句，整理成自己的素材。 我开始对为什么音乐会那么动听，但却又各不相同非常感兴趣儿。这又让我对乐理产生浓厚的兴趣。 我开始形成了对各种音乐风格的一种图画印象，我把对于像7和弦这样的感觉用文字给自己的心得体会取名字来描绘它们（在后来的基础乐理课程学习中发现它们已经被发现并且有了更正规的名字了）。 随着乐理知识的积累越来越多，我也就开始越来越多地创作自己的作品了。并把刚刚学到的心得加入到自己的创作中去。 后来，和我在高中认识的最后成为著名民谣歌曲创作者Jonah Werner一起在当地的咖啡馆里面表演。 当我意识到我想要弹奏出更复杂的音乐时，我放下了pick匹克，开始运用自己的五根手指来演奏。 我的音乐风格在我探索各种不同领域风格时，随着我的灵感不断在变化着。 从我开始弹奏那把老吉他时开始，这就是一个非常有趣儿的旅程。（看来我得感谢Herbie）| 我是真的很喜欢吉他，并且一直期望自己能够不断去尝试新的乐句素材。 只要我一弹起吉他，并期盼我的音乐能够被大家所分享，我就会非常的开心！ 我希望你们会喜欢我的音乐！ 个人主页:http://www.tracebundy.com/
