Every note counts. I like this guy. I like some of his recordings better than others. I am in love with his live recording lp "Small Town". Plays in a deliberate fashion - but not unimaginative. For some reason I think of my older brother a lot when I hear him play music of the era he refers to here. My older brothers were born closer to the mid 50's and I was the whoops baby born later in the 50's. His tone goes right to my center.

to: topopops..Your comments lead me to believe you are either jealous or do not understand what you heard. I'll also include ignorance.. which is fortified by your use of the word "of".Just my take.This was a performance of cosmic proportion. And the cosmos is understandably incomprehensible.I would like to hear more. I will now wander off to more of Bill's Fretboard Journal interviews.Thanks for posting this interview.PSFretboard Journal is my only subscription to any magazine, not just guitar related, but any magazine.

Still one of my favorites. Thanks for all you do, Mr. Frisell.

Love how you don't get carried away with harmonies, and keep songs recognizable, yet interpreted and jazzy. Brilliant stuff, as always.

You say that because you're not hearing what he's not playing. Bill Frisell's mastery comes as much from what he plays than from what he doesn't play.

This will date me so be it when I was age 15 I was the tech person for awhile for the Beach Boys. I use to setup their shows and manually do the lights for each song during their act.....Also I was the runner for their meals and sometimes referee for their many arguments :^)) geeish!

Richard Roadman - 7 years ago

This makes me weep. The beauty and bittersweet memories of the time. I'm the same age as Bill so I can really relate.

Esquire? Seriously??? Seems to have the Esquire name imprinted on the head stock, but in virtually every way imaginable, its the spittin' image of my '09 sand-colored Classic Player Baja, which I'd play here far more often, if it didn't weigh what my wife now does! Anyway, great video !!, and kudos on some NICE playing of a truly memorable classic. ;-)

Oğul KÖKER - 8 years ago

How he manages to prevent single-coil hum? I never heard any of his guitars humming :S

I wish I could play like him...

Oğul KÖKER - 8 years ago

Thank you good sir!

Brad Dietz - 8 years ago

+Oğul KÖKER I would say a number of factors:
1.) In this clip and others, not playing with high-gain overdrive pedals.
2.) His Telecasters are shielded well.
3.) He plays at fairly low volumes.
4.) He has reasonable distance from the guitar amp.
5.) The rooms and environments he plays in don't have "dirty power" or other electronic maladies that emphasize potential 60 cycle hum.
To my knowledge, Frisell does NOT use "noiseless" single coil pickups. In my own playing circumstances, with similar Telecasters, and with similar amps, effects, and in similar circumstances, I do not get any noticeable 60 cycle hum either.

Javi G - 8 years ago

Sheer smoothness.

Larry Depontes - 9 years ago

Diego Rodríguez - 9 years ago

Remember, Kurt Cobain and Bill play the same instrument

gus dupree - 8 years ago

whoa ,0 to 60 with the n word their buddy

hiro progatonist - 8 years ago

+Brad Dietz nigger he plays one on this same channel

Mz2250 - 8 years ago

+Brad Dietz mmm in fact wouldn't because even if klein guitar had the same pickup configuration the guitar it's very different from a telecaster, the talk about the rig is right, he change a lot for album to album, my sentence "when he moved from klein guitar etc.." was intended to create a subdivision of his carreer ( younger bill= klein guitar , more mature bill= telecaster guitar ) it's not the guitar that made grown is sound, i didn't mean that, the player maturated experience + the rig + the guitar made him take a big step forward in his si9gnature sound , but is the sum of this 3 factor that create his sound till now, maybe 3 or 4 year from now he change again his sound , he's in continuos evolution in his sound

Brad Dietz - 8 years ago

The sound is not necessarily dependent on the guitar in this case. He is simply using different effects now, or to say in many cases, LESS effects. The Klein he originally used effectively had a Telecaster-style single coil neck pickup in the neck position of the Klein. The Telecaster he uses now would sound almost exactly the same as the Klein through that rig and effects used then. Conversely, that Klein guitar used then, would sound as "organic" now through Frisell's amp and pedal setup that he uses now.

Mz2250 - 8 years ago

+Brad Dietz yes he have a great collection of guitar , I think his sound imrpoved when hr moved from klein guitar. like his sound now is more organic

Brad Dietz - 8 years ago

I have never seen any picture or reference to Frisell with a Jaguar, but it's possible. Frisell with a Gibson Flying V is possible too, but I've just never seen or heard about it. Thanks.

Mz2250 - 8 years ago

+Brad Dietz he had, both jaguar and jazzmaster , both musician had, but the comment is not about the same model

Brad Dietz - 8 years ago

+Marco Zoppi Frisell never, to my knowledge played a Fender Jaguar, and certainly there are very few if any pictures of him playing one. Fender Jazzmaster, yes. Jaguar, no. Those are two very different guitars, but both are what is called "offset bodies", and many people think they are one and the same, or confuse the two. I don't know if Cobain played Fender Stratocasters "often" but he is identified with the aforementioned Jaguars and Mustangs. Frisell has played Fender Stratocasters a bit, largely on the John Lennon song tour (it's Daphne Blue, see videos), and once on NPR doing Strawberry Fields Forever (a black one). Both great clips, the Lennon song tour and the NPR clip.

Mz2250 - 8 years ago

+Brad Dietz in fact offset guitar , know as jaguar or jazzmaster are in frisell arsenal, just see the video of ehx freeze an cobain often played strat, and frisell too, but i think the previous comment was not about that

Brad Dietz - 8 years ago

+Diego Rodríguez Frisell is known for mostly playing Fender Telecasters (or non-Fender Telecaster style guitars such as the J.W. Black Telecaster-style guitars, or Nash Telecaster-style guitars, etc...). Cobain is known for mostly playing Fender Jaguars and Fender Mustangs. Frisell has played many Fender and non-Fender guitars during his career, however, Fender Jaguars and Fender Mustangs are NOT among them. Just to clarify.

Mz2250 - 9 years ago

+Marco Zoppi to think*

Mz2250 - 9 years ago

+DereMemo well, I'm not sure about what diego mean with that comment, but got me to tought, they play the same instrument, that's amazing, guitar is such an amazing instrument could be so different from artist to artist.

DereMemo - 9 years ago

+Diego Rodríguez So,what about you? Are you as good as Cobain?

Surfer Johnny - 9 years ago

This rendition is so peaceful and perfectly stated. I love that he doesn't over do it with melody. He brings out the yearning and shows what a talent Brian Wilson is.

Bill Frisell is such an unique guitar player, his feel and his touch are amazing, it's so nice to see and hear him play. I met him two weeks ago and he's such a modest and kind person. His pedal work is also great. He just overall is as good as it gets!

That's not seriously rehearsed. His knowledge allows him to play it beautifully. And he can play it as many times as he wants, and you will have always a different result. And you will love each of them

Jamie Mitchell - 8 years ago

seriously rehearsed? nah...

Tony D - 8 years ago

he's a classically trained jazz player, also a master so I think he was being sincere that he didn't remeber how to play it but he such a good guitar player that he figured it out as he played

Charles Young - 9 years ago

+amisarebewaswerebeen My bet is you could listen to him play this ten times, and it would be different every time. Although he knows the tune and the basic changes, he's harmonizing it as he goes along.

eaverdeja - 9 years ago

+amisarebewaswerebeen i bet he cried a few times practicing the "cry me a river" lick at 3:28

Some of the live versions of Surfer Girl are absolutely exquisite, and I fired one off to our 19YO son who has a college radio show and he was blown away. Bill's a musical hero.

JudeJaded15 - 8 years ago

+Brad Dietz good info. thanks

Brad Dietz - 8 years ago

Also, it seems to me that Bill has also been known to play slightly modified Mexican Standard Telecaster/MIM Telecasters with Gold Foil pickups in the neck, or Filtertron-type pickups, or low-wind humbuckers and sometimes what looks to be absolutely stock guitars. There is plenty solo video of him playing a Mexican Fender "Road Worn" Telecaster- the yellowish one, with a white pick guard. That guitar seems to look and sound completely stock.

William Sullivan - 8 years ago

Thanks. I'll check him out.

Brad Dietz - 8 years ago

J.W. Black used to be (or maybe still is) a Fender Custom Shop luthier, I believe. This guitar may have been made by J.W. Black, with the Fender logo under FMIC. J.W. Black left Fender, or at least did not leave, but has started his own company as a "side project" to make his own Fender-style guitars which are viewable on his website, and which bear his name on the headstock. Probably the most memorable J.W. Black (brand) Telecaster-style guitar is the black one with white pick guard, and Bigsby tremolo. I've seen him play that one a lot. Probably some videos feature it.

William Sullivan - 8 years ago

+Fretboard Journal I'm confused and, apparently, naive. The head-stock says "Fender-Esquire." Is J.W. Black someone who modifies older guitars?

A. - 8 years ago

+Fretboard Journal Thanks for the info! Love your videos, specially those with Bill, and the ones with Blake Mills. I'm from Spain so it's kind of difficult to see them live, but in these videos sounds like I'm right there in the room.

Brad Dietz - 8 years ago

Those J.W. Black Telecasters are wonderful things. This one is no exception. Ditto with Carr amps. Every time Bill plays one, I'm in my sonic happy place, almost as much as when I see him play live (and other recordings) using at least one or two Fender Deluxe Reverb amps. It's a wonderful, ambient at times, yet elemental sound.

Fretboard Journal - 8 years ago

+Brad Dietz This video features Bill playing his J.W. Black Telecaster through a Carr Sportsman we have at our office. No pedals.

Brad Dietz - 8 years ago

+Alex Supertramp He is not even using any amp-based reverb. Straight into the amp. I suspect a Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue amp, or a Carr Rambler, which seem to be his go-to amps.

Jamie Mitchell - 9 years ago

Jamie Mitchell - 9 years ago

soulless?! surely you jest!

Andre Gruber - 9 years ago

what do you mean soulless? As in the fact that he doesn't play soulful or smooth lines? Thats just not his voice as player, his style employs other musical dialects. I think he has a lot of feeling, specially on his acoustic playing. I have also heard him play some great blues, very true and soulful. I do think that he doesn't have enough grit, He is a pristinely clean player.

DereMemo - 9 years ago

+Andre Gruber Lage sounds a bit soulless to me.

Hey man, if you don't like him, why did you watch all these videos? I've seen this exact comment on many Bill Frisell videos this week, all with your name on it. If you don't like Bill, don't watch Bill. I love Bill, I think he should get more fame than he already has. Sure, he's not the fastest shredder around (isn't a shredder) but you would be hard pressed to find someone as melodically sophisticated or someone with such an attention to detail as Bill. He is definitely one of my favorites!

Matt Grace - 11 years ago

I firmly believe that the Telecaster is one of the most versatile, well-built guitars ever made. In the right hands (like Mr. Frisell's, for instance) it's just pure magic.

rjo8500 - 11 years ago

duhdamac - 11 years ago

I think that when he says, "I'm not sure if I can even remember how to play it." he means that he's not sure if he remembers how it goes. I'm pretty sure if he can remember *that*, he can play it. An ability worthy of aspiring to.
