Secrets of master guitarists, revealed in conversation. Guitar Talk
is a collection of interviews with twenty-three of the most
creative guitarists of our time. The book celebrates the enormous
range of approaches and sounds that exist in the modern guitar. The
instrument can howl, scrape, scratch, scream, sing, pluck, and
soothe. What stands out in this book is not so much the instrument
itself but rather, the wonderful and idiosyncratic personalities of
these bold souls, their sometimes wild, often zigzagging, and
ultimately profound journeys toward beauty, meaning, and excellence
in their work. We find out that jazz icon Bill Frisell won a high
school band contest playing R&B tunes, beating out future
members of Earth Wind and Fire. We learn which of Nels Cline's
compositions he wishes to have played at his funeral. Michael
Gregory Jackson recounts painful episodes of racism as he stretched
between the chasm of avant jazz, rock, and R&B in the 1980s.
Many more revelations, amusements, and philosophies abound from
maestros like Pat Metheny, Fred Frith, Ralph Towner, Bill Frisell,
Mary Halvorson, Henry Kaiser, Ava Mendoza, and many more of the
most interesting guitarists working today.
