You're obviously not a guitarist Tongue


No, I'm a bass player - but, sometimes, I try to adapt some techniques of Frith on my instrument.

By the way, the movie Step Across the Border (1990) is TO BE SEEN, WATCHED AND STUDIED (but that's, like, just my opinion, man).

^ great stuff, I really don't know how his guitar is still in good shape after 40 years! Especially when he does those shenanigans

^ you should totaaaaally check out his post-80s stuff it's rather rad. Most of his albums are worth listening to, especially Speechless, Gravity, Cheap at Half Price, and Dropera which I just got and is great! He is more or less a master composer

Love Frith but I'm not familiar with most of his post-80s work (except Naked City).

I would like to spread the love for one of the nuttiest composers and improvisers of our time: Fred Frith! The dude is an absolute monster when it comes to the guitar and it's amazing to see what he does with it. I want to hear more people concerning the enjoyment him (for those who don't know he was guitarist for pioneering RIO band Henry Cow- but most of his music sounds nothing like Cow).

For those who don't know where to start- start with Gravity
