Re: For G-bashers
"the complexities of harmonic structures, the chord
progressions that keep cycling into new areas...that
make him so damned relevant."
his songs are usually pretty deceptive. he manages to
write very complex songs and they're still
very "singable"...musicians and non-musicians will all
leave his concerts humming the melodies.
i agree that a jazz guitarist comparison is a bit
pointless, but derek bailey probably lives outside of
the world of straight-ahead jazz. guys like jimmy
raney, kenny burrell, joe pass...all essential
guitarists, but out of the guys/gals currently
playing, i favor metheny. they all have their strong
points.
