A seminar with Pat Metheny that would be absolutely outstanding. Have fun.

His Trio work is great, I'm hooked on this guys playing, but sometimes I do miss that "classic" Metheny sound. Bet they could sell quite a few to guys dabbling in jazz since it's what Pat used on all those records / performances.

Given the subject of this thread, we thought you might like to know about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear Pat in an extremely intimate setting, not to mention the chance to meet him after the performance at a reception held in the same chambers in which he created the Orchestrion!
Pat is donating his time; all proceeds will support The Jazz Gallery.
There are only 75 seats left - RSVP today here: An Evening With Pat Metheny

He said that the only reason he switched was because the Acoustic amp had serious "road rash" issues from the 30 years of hard touring. Stuff like the knobs falling off or being held on with bubble gum and stuff lol. Acoustic had stopped making amps in the late 70's early 80's so at the time he switched amps (around 1999 / 2000) he had no way of sourcing new Acoustic amps so he started using the 2101.Last edited by Double 07; 09-13-2011 at 04:29 AM.

like the 134 always was, the output of the digitech is run into 2 lexicon prime-time digital delay lines, one on my left at 14 ms delay, one one my right at 26 ms delay. each delay has a very slight "pitch bend" controlled by the VCO (sine wave) inside the prime-time. this is what gives it the "chorused" thing that i guess i would have to say i was the first to use extensively in jazz and that seemed to have influenced alot of other guys to do the same. only thing, i HATE the way "chorus boxes" sound, my sound is mostly the "straight "134/digitech line which is behind me with NO PITCH BEND which gets blended IN THE AIR with the the two DISCRETE delay pitch bends (which are much softer than the "straight" amp volume) to get a bigger sound. i HATE when i hear the "pitch bend" and the straight mixed together and coming out of the same speaker. it drives me crazy. you can then imagine that it's hard for me in a studio. studios and records are STEREO and i have THREE discrete sources, "straight", delay left, and delay right. i don't feel like i've ever gotten it right on any record. i'm anxiously awaiting the coming days when we get to go back in and re-mix everything for everyone's home 6-track surround systems!!! i'll finally be able to get the guitar sound right!!!!!! (also, i forgot one thing, i always have a slight 450-500 ms delay mixed in right off the guitar too. if you hear it too much, it's too loud. it just lengthens the notes some.)
As a matter of fact he seems to have finally found the answer to his live sound:

OK
I don't like Pat's playing very much. listen to the album Herbie Hancock's band with Jack DeJohnette, Michael Brecker, Dave Holland,
listen to the tune "chan's song" the beautiful playing of everyone except Pat.
the beatles tune someone posted here that he "improvised".... completely uninteresting to me. He plunked out bits of the melody with some basic chords, there are numerous people posting here who can do as well.
should mention I also don't get Bill Frizell. just doesn't do anything for me. I saw Bill live once, found it quite ordinary.
am I kicked out now?
you guys were raving about it. It was actually funny.

Wow! I guess you just summed up Pat with two tunes. Nicely done. But I forgive you.

I love Pat's playing on this Jack DeJohnette tune, his playing really fits the tune IMO. What can I say? I really love Pat's playing, his tone, his phrasing, creativity, songwriting, imagination. The fact that he's been sharing so much about his style recently via the songbooks, transcriptions of his solos, tab books etc.
