KH Guitar Freak Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Check out Derek Bailey's vids... Here's one...
atquinn Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I'm not in the market for whatever he's selling . It actually reminds me of Crumb/No Moe off of Bill Frisell's live trio album, but that's cool because the chaos coalesces into some kind of order. Derek Bailey's out there stuff just sound like someone who just discovered natural harmonics. -Austin
cynic Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Just further proof that somewhere, there's a market out there for any of us to succeed in regardless of what style we play. The challenge is finding it.
kevinbower1959 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 It's like these 'artists' who throw paint at a wall and then sell it for a quarter million to some misguided butthead who has more money than sense, or the dumbasses at places like the tate Modern Gallery in London who give space to a pile of housebricks with a £25,000 pricetag because they were thrown on the floor by an 'artist'.It's complete crap and I'm proud to be too unsophisticated to understand it.
jettster Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Someone buy that guy a tuner, shouldn't take a minute and a half to tune your guitar up. Let alone, why would you even make a video of you tuning your guitar.
BubbaVO Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Not sure what to say about that. Other than when the greatest hits cd comes out, I think I'll pass. : )
Monacosis Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 ya know...there are some of us for which this kind of "music/art" feels very familiar and comfortable. there are some of us that can appreciate Hendrix, Django and Derek Bailey simultaneously. though i would never nominate Bailey or H. Kaiser for the Top-Ten-Most-Awesome-Guitarist list, it's not because i don't understand and appreciate what they have to say, it's because such lists are stupid. both guitarists are thoughtful people that believe that there is something musical to be be discovered beyond the current boundaries of guitar. that's a good thing to me. (if you're interested, there is a fantastic documentary on Bailey (BBC i think) available that speaks to this.) yeah, it's not very popular and certainly does not appeal to those that value "technique". and i'm definitely not interested in converting anyone to the cause: if you don't like it, you don't like it. but to me, in some (not all) of this music, lies the same kind of punk ethic that i dig in Cash, Jaco, Beck, Page, Stravinsky, Einstein, Coltrane, Lennon, Partridge, Fripp, Evans, etc.and lest you think somehow i deem myself more sophisticated: i'm into my 2nd twelve-pack (on a Sunday), staring down divorce #2, figuring ways to skip work tomorrow, and i really need to go downstairs and practice this new funky version of Margeritaville (sp?) for my latest project. so, fwiw, ymmv, etc.mike
Mindseyes Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I try to be open minded when it comes to music, but I just can not wrap my head around this noise.........props for doing what he loves though...to each their own i guess

KH Guitar Freak Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 Furthermore, I've heard from the grapevine that he's actually very good at conventional jazz as well...
crunchee Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 At the beginning of this video, he does a few jazzy chords...
