Weirdly, I liked the tone of the guitar but didn't like what he played.

I know nothing about him either, and cant say I am in the slightest bit interested, but obviously a very talented musician. Whats wrong with the guitar sound? I thought his insanely accurate fingering combined with that nice neck pickup sound was lovely, there was a flick to bridge pickup on the last chard of Nowhere man that I thought was a mistake... Admittadly the sound aint that "stratty", but in my book that was a good thing... could have been worse tho, could have been a tele...

I'm not an expert regarding this musician's work. Do you guys think
Frisell himself likes that guitar sound he was playing on? Or maybe he
just cares more about the playing?
