    Jazz guitar god Pat Metheny recently played Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on his solo tour supporting his latest record, Dream Box. Ahead of the show, PG’s John Bohlinger met with Metheny’s tech Andre' Cholmondeley, who pulled back the curtain on what just might be the most complex solo rig ever devised. Afterward, Cholmondeley painstakingly wrote out Metheny’s signal path to help clarify the rig. Buckle up, and keep up if you can.

      When I perfect the process of pulling strings out of mycelium (vegan "gut" strings made from kombucha goop), I think I've found where to petition to do long trials - not many people are patient enough to wait a couple weeks to see how the consumables age and settle out *and* put a lot of mileage on them as a virtuoso (and all the observations one would have, being one).

      He just loves music and different creative guitar tones.

      Quick story: 1989 I'm 21 years old serving in the Army, 3rd Inf Div in Germany. I'm in the barracks one evening kicking it with with a few buddies talking music, among them were few metalheads. As a black kid growing up on MTV and in a white neighborhood for a while and starting to play guitar, I wasn't quite a metalhead but I was definitely well-versed. So we start talking about top 5 shredders. They threw a couple of names out, then I throw a couple of names out. You know, a few of the guys from shrapnel records like Marty Friedman, Jason Becker, Greg Howe, and such. They were impressed that as a black man I knew these players. So then I named Vernon Reed of Living Color. They hadn't heard of him but we're impressed. I named Allan Holdsworth, whom I had just discovered and they hadn't heard of. I told them this is the guy who Eddie Van Halen says is the best. Then, I named Pat Metheny. They laughed. Then I played him on a cassette. They didn't agree he was a shredder in the classic sense. But they had to respect his playing. To this day, I'm glad I stood on that. 😂😂😂😂

    One of the single most enjoyable rig rundowns I've ever watched. Pat's got a great tech. I've always been fascinated with his playing and his rig. Pat experimented a lot with Midi in the 80s. I remember when some snobby jazz "purists" gave him grief over it. I always defended Pat's desire to branch out and try new things. This is what makes him a great player. He plays what's in his heart and soul and communicates it so well. Music is an art but it's also communication.

    • @AndreCholmondeley
      @AndreCholmondeley 7 месяцев назад +2

      thanks for watching!.
      And you nailed it. Pat has consistently checked out new music technology, computers, audio advancements for 50 years and utilized, adopted & adapted so many things, always in a musical and unique way.

    • @santibanks
      @santibanks 7 месяцев назад +1

      To me it always seemed that it is primarily Pat the Composer who branched out in technology. Basically the desire to write and sound like a larger ensemble than actually present on stage with technology being there to serve and present the music. Either helping with or solving a musical performance problem. The Synclavier was really pivotal in that along with the sequencers, macintosh, and synths (Pat adopted the Mac platform quickly too for writing and composing). Pat's gift is to make these machines sound human and organic to the point where you might not even notice them anymore. It just fits and works, irregardless of the style of the music he played.
      Pat (and Lyle) have always been about the music foremost. Whatever it takes to present it and create the right environment to show all there is to a tune. To be fair, I understand where some of the critique might have come from. There have been plenty of players who dabbled into technology in the 80ies and it made the music sound both dated and dreadful because it lacked substance (ie: a good tune). Technology is never going to make up for the lack of a good song being there in the first place. And as far as I know, Pat also distances himself whenever he can from that fusion stuff going on at the time as it is just not remotely the same as what he tried to accomplish. And even Pat isn't fallible here, I think some of his patches on the Synclavier were not that great (on the other hand, still better than most DX7 sounds being used by his contemporaries, yes I'm looking at you Chick). But the critiques are not really warranted as you point out. It takes the quality of a player like Pat to get the most out of the technology and make it serve the music.

    • @russellzauner
      @russellzauner 8 месяцев назад +1

      I thought he would add that the hex pickup is not only 6 individual pickups, they're *humbuckers* lol
      With the headstock I think that one might have actually started out life as an Ibanez Artist fresh husk (Fujigen) even though many synths/models were also built or partially so at Matsumoku and/or Terada.
      I have an Aria Cardinal CS400 that had a hex pickup installed when I got it - the box is on the outside of the guitar instead of built into it but one of the coolest features I think is that not only do you get the MIDI/synth out, you also get a 1/4" jack to get the straight analog out directly from the hex pickup. It's not as huge a signal as a giant humbucker but since it's not noisy it doesn't have to be. It's also nice to be able to control each string's signal if you want to, unlike later versions of the GK pickups which didn't have individual coils for each string.

    "I like the crazy rigs." What a great fellow André is. Aside from his knowledge and skills, personality-wise he is a perfect fit for the Pat Metheny brand.
    The mention of 'Adrian' refers I assume to Adrian Belew, a man with more than just a crazy rig. He and Pat together in a room would surely make for some interesting results.
    As always, thank you John and Premier Guitar for these great, fun, entertaining and insightful videos. Bravo!

I have been following Metheny for years and he has quite an ensemble of instruments and tech. Also, did not realize Andre teched for Adrian Belew. Greatly appreciate Premier Guitar doing this rig rundown with Andre...for Metheny. The sound at the Metheny show was outstanding. Andre was back and forth from the stage between almost every tune.

    Thanks for posting this interview. I’ve been a Pat fan since 1979. I’m not a musician - just a listener, so every time I see Pat play (over 40 times now) I don’t understand how he does it… I just love the sounds and litterally think of Pat as a wizard, performing a magic show. This helps me understand the “how” a little better.
    I’ve gotten to meet Pat and other band members (after the show) several times over the decades and he’s so nice in person.
    I noticed you didn’t give back that PM guitar pick - I’m sure it’s in your collection now! I have three PM picks that Caroline gave me after shows. At the end of a show the stage is littered with picks that get tossed as he switches playing with or without a pick.

      Haha!! Thanks and indeed this is a deeply nerdy gig. There are incredibly detailed convos w Pat about vintage guitars, 80s software tricks, multi-speaker arrays, esoteric MIDI issues, iPad editors, new pedals and much more. Yes it’s guitar geek central oftentimes.
      Thanks for watching

    Andre is so awesome! And I had a guild poster of pat on my wall when I was in high school. Saw him many times when I was in college and recently reacquainted myself with the man via Rick beato. I had to go back and pick up all the cds (yes, I like the physical media) of pat. So many good memories.

    GOAT. and opening with him playing in her family solo is just awesome. That’s one of the most beautiful Pat Metheny tunes ever written it doesn’t get enough love-that whole still life talking record is killer except for last train home… the one that was a big hit for him. That’s the one track I never listened to! But the rest of that record is absolutely killing

    The mic inside the Taylor/Manzer is an AMT S15 (or a custom pat model)- It's meant for the outside They had a booth at NAMM and mainly do clip-on sax mics.

    • @AndreCholmondeley
      @AndreCholmondeley 8 месяцев назад +2

      Indeed!! This gig, and many Pat technical choices in general- are about repurposing gear, or figuring out applications for stuff that …. They weren’t necessarily designed for. This is true in the hardware as well as software realms. McGyver is the patron saint sometimes
      Thanks!

    This was fantastic. Saw Pat on the Dream Box tour and have seen him many times over the years. Great job Andre, you seem like a great fit for Pat and his vision. Also appreciate the shout to the "jedi" Carolyn. I once got her to (begrudgingly) toss me a pick during breakdown after the show :)

  • @mauijet
    @mauijet 8 месяцев назад +3

    Thank you, thank you, and mahalo! I’m a PM freak. Seen him many times. Going to Blue Note Tokyo for the sessions with Ron Carter! I don’t think his previous longtime guitar tech (don’t recall her name) would do these rig run-downs.
    Edit: Oh, Andre shouted out to her, way cool!

    I saw Pat on his Side-Eye tour in June of last year, and then later on his Dream Box tour in September. I'm pretty sure I was one of the youngest in attendance (seventeen as of writing). I've been a huge fan of Pat for a while now (I have most of his albums), so these concerts were a dream come true. Both of them were astounding. I didn't look away for a minute-- I was so focused. I hope to catch a few more in the future if I can. Thanks for for the show! I'll never forget it.

    Andre, as well as having a great name, is a gentleman and a scholar. I wish this was longer to be honest. When the tour didn’t come to the UK I messaged him in disappointment. He took the time to explain the why( logistical problems as a result of Brexit) and also went into detail. This is also must be the most complicated tech job in music. Excellent interview John!

    Nice to see this setup finally get covered, but it would've been a lot better if it was actually pat doing the gear, though I do remember Andre from the Adrian Belew rig rundown that Steve Cook did back in the day, that was a good one!

      Ha!! Big Ears was simply incredible. I miss it every year because always on tour
      had a tour canceled this March, so I was delighted to be there
      still blown away how well produced and diverse it all was. Actually, funnily enough I am watching right now the Bill Orcutt Quartet, and I only heard about that being at big ears

    I’m a long time Pat fan since the white album back in around ‘78-79. I’ve read lots about his players and tours and sessions and bands and compositions over the years. But never had this level of insight into his actual instruments and setups, tunings, electronics, internal mics, etc. Absolutely truly fascinating stuff. And a terrific glance into how his mind functions, in practical utility terms. I can see he has chosen a very special tech man, and why. What a gem this man is!
