Wasso Grunholz Video

MichaelHorowitz

Here's a video of Wasso Grunhulz...the guitar guru who taught Stochelo and Jimmy:



He has arthritis, which is probably why he's playing an amplified nylon string. Easier on the hands...

does anyone have any footage of him playing with a pick? what's his history?

MichaelHorowitz

He rarely plays outside of church, so there isn't much video. But I have seen some of him jamming with Dorado many years ago. Now I need to dig it out!

yes! please! this is the guy who also composed all those valses, no?

MichaelHorowitz

yes....he wrote some of the waltzes that Stochelo and Jimmy recorded.

That was just lovely. Where does he live?

MichaelHorowitz

in the Gerwen/Nuenen camps...same as Stochelo, Paulus, etc.

Beautiful! this is the clip i learned "Latchpen" from.
Great to see the admiring faces of Dorado and Tchavolo watching him play;i do get the sense that Wasso is slightly disapproving of Tchavolo's behaviour(offering Waso a cigarette etc)Always makes me laugh.
Eddie's waltz rhythm playing is in its own way just as awesome as wassos lead.
Tcha told me he's thinking of doing a cd of Waso's compositions and said if he did he would use that wonderful 'dry' sounding guitar of Wasso's.
