It was such a privilege to have Derek as my guitar teacher in the seventies, he taught me a hell of lot in one year of half hour lessons, may not sound much but he gave me so much to do I had to practice 3 or 4 hours per night in order to prepare for my next lesson! I had no idea what his playing was like until he invited me to see him perform at Ronnie Scot's club in Soho, he and Barry Guy (bass) and Howard Riley (piano) formed The Musicians Co-op around that time, They were amazing musicians, a great period in my life I shall always remember!
This is one of my all time favorite videos. I have to come back every once in a while to watch again, and it's always so inspiring. Just when you think you've heard it all, you find something crazy like this, oozing ingenuity in the deep caves of the internet. Thank God I found it. Keeps my passion for guitar alive. Thank you for uploading this.
He's out there. It helps me understand the statement more clearly: "there are no rules!" Therefore, f*** whatever is holding you back, just play because your soul says do so. Play because you want to make sound and get enjoyment and happiness from it. Do it your way.❤
Well, I've just listened to this for about the fifth time(in the past 5 weeks). Its definitely a performance worth recommending a Derek Bailey neophyte to check out, The gamut of Bailey's techniques and moods are beautifully on display. His genius, that is, as pipityri pointed out.
SO glad I got the Henry Kaiser guitar video where he discussed at length the playing style of DB. I usually like my guitar with delay and chorus though.
Derek Bailey must have sat at home pissing himself at people like you who actually think what he was doing had any sort of artistic or musical merit. He's taking the piss out of you, do you realize that?
No box, no borders... that is such a great sentiment. it does remind me of a transgender... but it has a nice ring to it (we all have our rings, we are all alike in that respect... everybody poops)
It's funny too because he was perfectly capable of playing more conventional music too. He got his start playing classical and bebop, both of which he's incredibly adept in. It's just that he preferred playing textured free improvisation.
Interesting proposition! My tuppence worth: Fripp would have known about Bailey, at least through Jamie Muir who made an album with DB called Dart Drug (I think someone put it up here on YT). The nearest Fripp comes to playing like Bailey is on Groom, the B-Side of Catfood (Poseidon extra CD track). Also found on the brilliant Earthbound album, even though it has a very un-Crimson-like sound!
I respect Robert Fripp as a guitarist, but Bailey was the superior musician. I think direct comparison with Bailey would have made Fripp sound rather limited.
Very nice, having known and recorded with Derek, those post about not him, are total rubbish......his hands, his guitar, his handmade picks from dental material......
About fifteen years ago, I couldn't get into Bailey's music at all... Aged thirty, I can appreciate it a lot more now... It's really clear to me that he's not just running his hand across the fretboard and that there's technique to it... Gotta be in the right mood for it, though.
i see he has a 70's gibson pickup in the neck (you can tell from the writing carved in it) but it's wired a la Peter Green. Maybe that was done to capture the harmonics better, as they are picked up stronger towards the bridge
@@andrea4809 He means that the pickup has been reversed in its slot - normally the pole pieces would be on the side facing the fretboard. I doubt whether it was 'wired a la Peter Green', which wouldn't be visible from the outside. Turning the pickup would slightly increase the treble response.
I'm hearing a minor 11 chord. The root note seems to be in between E and F (unless it's my piano that's not quite in tune). Say root E, then up a ninth to F#, down a major third to D, up a fourth to G, up a ninth to A, up a fifth to E. E-11(9) E - F# - D - G - A - E Or with root F: F - G - Eb - Ab - Bb - F Some of those notes are harmonics, too.
bit late to the party, but my ears tell me Eb13, maybe with a sus4 or something because there's no tritone. don't have my piano on me tho, so not completely sure
I gotchu. on guitar you can voice this with a capo on the first fret or (just tune your strings up a half step) : High E: 13 B string 11 G string : open (capo) D string: open (capo 1st fret) A string : 10th fret Low E: Open F (capo on 1st fret) In order of the notes played: Low F (go an octave up) G Eb Ab (go another octave up) Bb F So from bottom to top thats: F Eb G Ab Bb F chord is Fm11 with the 9th and the 7th
I think so but have no historical evidence to back it up - the cluster chords and harmonics on this really remind me of the guitar on some Paul Motian Trio stuff
Some people have this preconceived idea of what musi cis supposed to sound like, and this ain't it. I heard one guy suggest that his 6 year old son could play like this, and I told him, "I can promise, your six your old will NOT be able to play like Derek Bailey!"
It irritates me when people call Derek’s music atonal. There are obviously tones being used that you can assign a pitch to.. it’s just dissonant intervals and very physical
That’s not what atonality is. This is very much atonal music. “Atonal” is not an insult or a subjective description. When music is atonal, it just means that the piece has no tonal centre (i.e. when the music is not in any particular key). That is true of almost all of Bailey’s music (as well as the composers he credits such as Webern).
As a guitarist I have tried to see what all the fuss is about with this guy. The first minute was mildly compelling, felt like it was going somewhere. It's not the free tempo, or the dissonance that turns me off. Its the lack of framework, his playing is entirely context free which you'd think would be a good thing. But how can you push boundaries when there are none? There's real genius in a musician that pushes against convention, the tension creates excitement. Thats the dfference between DB and someone like Holdsworth or Coltrane, they created a world within a world. It provides a reference point by which to gather perspective. There is no tension here, no juxtaposition, therefore little perspective to be had you just sort of have to accept it for what it is. Interestingly most of his fans seem to be non-musicians.
The challenge in Bailey's playing is to avoid repetition and all musical cliches. It's a constant boundary. Free improvisation is music that lives in the now, without past nor future. You are expected to make each moment interesting and new. Non-musicians? You haven't followed the experimental music world. Bailey played with hundreds of musicians. Afterward their CV would include "played with Derek Bailey" in prominent position. It was a mark of quality.
@@renekita You can avoid musical cliches in a composition or thru improvisation it’s a matter of creating something unexpected within the context. Without any context whatsoever the listener has no expectations therefore the element of surprise/ tension and resolve is completely ignored. If you really want to ignore convention why even play the guitar on a lap right handed? Could scratch your chin down the strings a bit make exactly the same noises and be a bit more original about it. Sorry not for me!
@@matttaylor4618 You need to listen to more of his music to get it. By 'musical cliches' I meant anything that sounds like 'proper' music. Bailey doesn't need tricks. He's deeper than that. There is harmonic complexity there that you don't hear.
@@matttaylor4618 What is your usual musical diet? You obviously don't have to like Derek Bailey, but I do think this is far from random noise (other then the part starting at around 4:00 haha). there is a lot of tension and release in this recording, I hear a lot of very interesting chords, and quite a few get resolved even if not in the standard way. When he goes heavy with harmonics its all very consonant to me, and I do like when he goes from a long string of those into a more cluster type passage or even sometimes a noise passage when the strings are fully muted.The recording it self is probably my favorite part, very quiet, and Derek plays a lot with dynamics, if you listen close he gets near instant jumps that are really pleasing to my ear. It gives you a lot of space to sit in and examine all the sounds he makes. I will say however I have listened to stuff quite more out there then this, and I don't say that as a brag, just means I'm more acclimated to this kinda stuff. I think regardless Derek has pushed against some sort of boundary here considering your response to this piece. I think that if nothing else the fact that this got a reaction means its good art, and I'm glad to see discussion like this in the comments.
WTF is this? Someone who thinks he is a generic Bailey impersonator? By the way, this is not Derek Bailey playing, as I'm sure you all have realised. Certain stylistic features do not a coherent representation make. Why doesn't the 'author' of this guff make himself transparent. You're not Bailey, mate, so get real. Why have you done this, Mr. Faith-in-Fakes?
What makes you say that? There isn't a clear shot of the face, hands and guitar together, but in the shots of the hands and guitar, the audio matches what the hands are doing. The guitar looks like Bailey's too; it has a couple of distinctive features.
This doesn't sound like Bailey at all ... and they DO show pictures of his face. Not him. It's far too melodic and well timed in the early parts to be him. He almost never played anything even resembling actual music.
Of course it's him. Have you heard Arcana ? Same way to put Pinch harmonics. By the way, it's his style to do something like that, when you improvise sometimes you don't do things because you don't feel them in the moment. that one "fit" with the landscape.
Is this like an emperors new clothes type thing. People act like they're hearing something others aren't and are privvy to some genius musicianship while really it sounds like a kid fucking about with dads guitar.
Absolutely a complete fraud.... My Dad knew him when he was young and was the least talented musician of his peer group.... And this is the proof.... Can not play at all.... Dog shite
Sorry, I don't want to be too trainspotty, but why no shots of Bailey's face? Having seen Bailey on numerous occasions, I don't think these are his hands. Fingers aren't long enough for a start. More to the point, whoever this is has some of Bailey's more obvious techniques down pat, but he doesn't have the master's grits and gravy. It meanders and has no dynamic. Clever pastiche, however.
I don't doubt that every shot is Bailey, but I do think that the camera operator was some kind of sadist for these annoying close-ups. Who wouldn't want to see both hands simultaneously?
It was such a privilege to have Derek as my guitar teacher in the seventies, he taught me a hell of lot in one year of half hour lessons, may not sound much but he gave me so much to do I had to practice 3 or 4 hours per night in order to prepare for my next lesson!

Yes. I couldn't agree more. Those harmonics are gorgeous - moody and so well placed among the chords and little single note runs.

I remember hearing this years ago and going "wtf is this crap"? I started listening to Bailey again recently and it actually all makes sense now
I want to hear Robert Fripp and Derek Bailey improvising together. I don't think it ever happened.
Interesting proposition! My tuppence worth: Fripp would have known about Bailey, at least through Jamie Muir who made an album with DB called Dart Drug (I think someone put it up here on YT).

Could someone tell the notes of that chord?

Or with root F:
F - G - Eb - Ab - Bb - F
Some of those notes are harmonics, too.
They are more like Clusters ala Bartok. But even clusters can still be named.
bit late to the party, but my ears tell me Eb13, maybe with a sus4 or something because there's no tritone. don't have my piano on me tho, so not completely sure
I gotchu.
on guitar you can voice this with a capo on the first fret or (just tune your strings up a half step) :
High E: 13
B string 11
G string : open (capo)
D string: open (capo 1st fret)
A string : 10th fret
Low E: Open F (capo on 1st fret)
In order of the notes played: Low F (go an octave up) G Eb Ab (go another octave up) Bb F
So from bottom to top thats: F Eb G Ab Bb F
chord is Fm11 with the 9th and the 7th
