if you could get guitar lessons from 3 guitarists, who would they be?

fugazifan · 05.31.2007, 11:44 AM

for me its:
john fahey
derek bailey
then probably either marc ribot or nels cline
and i know that two have passed away, but think about if they were alive...
i would say thurston or lee buit their style is much easier to emulate than the others that i mentioned...

and I don't think you get to go studying guitar just to emulate anything at all. you get there to understand, expand your mind on different possibilities.

Mr. Clone: Are there any Metzger disks you deem particularly recommendable? I have the Chasney/Corsano + Metzger thing and like the Metzger side quite alot. Is his banjo stuff similar at all?

Savage Clone · 05.31.2007, 03:41 PM

The "Three Improvisations on Modified Banjo" CD or "Four Improvisations On Modified Banjo and Guitar" 2xLP (same thing with one bonus side of modified guitar goodness) are similar, but emphasize a more fluid and inhumanly skilled raga influence. A bit of Asian influence on one piece as well. Not quite as "jagged" as the guitar stuff, but similar in certain ways, especially the influence of North Indian stylistic leanings. The banjo stuff is still super-extended timewise, but a bit easier listen to people not normally into the "way-out shit." It's still pretty way-out though.
The debut LP on Mutant Music has one side of fluid modified guitar and one side of jagged angular improv on that same instrument.
He also has a new cassette out on Freedom From called "Maccaferri," which is all recorded on a Maccaferri plastic guitar, bookended by pieces from an automatic instrument he has made with many many music boxes, all of which have been altered somehow. The guitar pieces on the tape are severe deconstructions of Monk's "Bemsha Swing."

I would start from the banjo one though; that one is really amazing and shows Metzger at the peak of his powers, plus it sounds incredible. Recorded at Sacred Heart in Duluth, with all-natural reverb.

EDIT:
Sound samples from the new cassette and upcoming banjo LP on Roaratorio here:
