Henry Cameron : I never had a special liking for Bill Frisell. Now, last month I sat down to read the text in Moreno's Cd "Third wish" as I recently feel an interest for a bit of atonal playing. He mentions Frisell on page 3, sixth line from the top. In all respect for famous names, I first laughed, as the guitar sound in the videos of mr. Frisell around RUclips remind me of instrumental bands of the 60's ( reverb, chorus...). Listening this exact video, brought to mind Moreno's "Another way," tune #6 on Third wish ( call me crazy). Perhaps it is the chorus that Moreno uses so beautifully for jazz ( of course I don't compare technique here !). Anyhow, I was happy for your comment ; FYI, I also have Moreno's "3 For 3," which is also great.
he's boiled away all the non-essential notes in the harmonies and distilled it down only the notes that make a difference. it's a skeletal representation of the original harmony. to a certain extent this works due to the unstructured (read rubato) rhythmic environment and the sustaining capability of the instrument. very nice! :)
its so fascinating to see him play this tune in many formats and from all eras of his career. THis is vastly different then his more recent playing of the tune. thanks so much for sharing
Virtuoso! The way he alternates finger and picks as well as bass and treble lines so effortlessly. Bravo. Does he remind anyone else of Eric Johnson? They are both in the stratosphere for me, just curious if anyone else sees that... 🎸🎶😎
Claas Krause: jazz can be played on any kind of guitar. There are players who use strats, teles, and other types of non traditional instruments other than the iconic hollow or semi hollow archtop most commonly associated with jazz.
Yeah, and also that’s an SG Junior, which means he’s using the bridge pickup (there’s only a bridge pup in a SG Junior). Nowadays he uses the neck pup of whatever guitar he’s playing, but back then he was a bridge pup man, also with the Klein he used for a while after the SG period. I only know of two jazz guitarists that played with the bridge pickup: Allan Holdsworth and Bill Frisell.

@@DanRelayer_Ukraine yeah. Those versions are so non trivial, angular and beautiful. I was lucky to see that band live quite a few times. So inspiring... DESIRE-TABOO-SUBLIMATION- == Great Art. Sadly, from late 90s his music was changing to some different vibe. We all getting old... But in 89 -90, Bill was playing Sadovski guitar, SG was earlier instrument....

You know you’ve achieved something when your name alone evokes a very certain approach to music.
Gibson SG: Black Sabbath, AC/DC... and Bill Frisell.
lots of cool players used SG zappa, allan holdsworth, ollie halsall, frank marino

There was a famous TV Talk-show, here in Brazil, which the resident Jazz instrumental band's guitarrist (called Rubinho) used to play a SG.
He even did ads for Marshall amps back in the day…
The sound of Bill in those SG years was so evocative, bitter and sweet. Fantastic.
I love how he interprets a melody and takes it into a Frisell mood: always beautiful and strange, in the best sense.

I do not think Bill Frisell ever used a chorus, at least I cannot recall a recorded tune or a live concert where he used one.

I wonder how much influence Bill had on Kurt Rosenwinkel. I hear several little things that remind me of Kurt.
Back when Frisell used a volume pedal...
One of my favorite videos on RUclips
The Naked City LP has this swelling style and I LOVE that ! This has the same vibe but mellow. Super cool !
Very personal approach to say the least ... beautiful !
the best of all, no excuses

Bill likes to take a beautiful walk around the melody. Awesome version!
No one is better than Bill Frisell!
Absolutely stunning!
I did see him in Toronto in the 80"s,A fine player for sure.
Holly Crap!!! Amazing...
Frisell Always head!
so great... on a SG! gives me trust in that guitar for performing jazz music and the likes

@@ismaelbelda1John Scofield plays with the bridge pickup too, with the tone slightly down, gives a great sound
@@Sounddesignprojects Yes, you're very right. I love that Scofield tone!
@@Sounddesignprojects He uses the ProCo Rat tone control rolled all the way off, distortion control just cracked open. Fat tone from the bridge p/u.
That right hand 😵
What is this clip from? I'd like to see more from this.
Thx for sharing this video. It s beautiful !
Excelente!!!

I didn't know David Lynch played jazz guitar...
It would be cool If he had done the bill Evans thing on that taking it to A flat for the second chorus
N I C E !
Wow! J'ai l'impression qu'il joue sur un STICK (10 cordes) mais avec seulement 6 d'une guitare standard... et quel arrangement !!!
Does anyone know what pedals are being used by Bill here?
unique
Post space age cool jazz wonder
Thanks for this upload!
