GUITAR TALK - JOEL HARRISON KARTONIERT (TB)

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  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.
