One of the true living guitar greats . I have seen him many times. Anyone who doubts if he can "shred" listen to Henry Cow his group from 70s.. it is not a lack of chops that he plays this way .

I randomly clicked on the link to this video, then opened up a new tab, just listening and not viewing. At first, I thought it was some guitar with alot of effects and editting added in with a computer. I was curious and open this video tab back up, only to see him making all of these sounds himself. Amazing. I think I just found one of my new favorite musicians.

It's a shame people are so concerned on whether this is "music" or not, because it's just such FUN to hear the unexpected and interesting sounds he's making. If people had more FUN with music, maybe these stupid arguments would, you know, stop? Before this video, my only contact with Frith was Henry Cow. I'm now very interested on his solo work.

@disciple45612 жыл бұрын
He uses a custom guitar. The "device" behind the nut is actually an extra pick-up, an extraneous one held in an aluminum harness bolted onto the nut, that picks up notes and pitches that sound behind and on the nut. In many pieces of his, you can hear what sounds like a scale going up as another scale goes down, both sounding at the same time. This is because the pick-up on the headstock actually picks up a "reverse" scale of notes that sound behind the frets. It's a very interesting technique.

Doing something out of conentional though is thinking outside of the box, but when that thinking is forced to be the exact opposite is not originality, but simply acting as a mirror, therefore, even if you're not doing what everyone else, you still depend on the action of the others to make your equal, exact opposite reaction.

Fred Frith does know exactly what he is doing at all times and is an iconoclastic guitar player in every sense. He is also a professor of music at Mills College. I have seen him play a few times and it is always very interesting and fun to watch. Those not familiar with him should check out his earlier work with his band Henry Cow.

well, that's not entirely true; i know. having done this, as well as actually playin' with the guy, it's partially an amazing set of ears & intuition, & knowing when things sound/feel right, that the piece is working. he has the mechanics down to a science, but it's the openness to letting things happen that creates the real magic. that explains why there are people, like arto, who can't play a lick to save his life, is capable of creating lasting art. fred just happens to ALSO be a real player.

Anyone can look at the tomato piece and say "i could do that", the same definately does not go for the statue. I'm sure many people heard this and said to themselves "i could do this" and perhaps thats what the artist is going for, however the beauty in music lies in the ability for virtuosos to blow us away with their limitless prowess of the instruments they wield.

I couldn't agree more. Let's compare this to a marble statue versus a few tomatoes thrown at a canvas and named untitled. At least with the marble statue you can appreciate the work that went into it even if you are not a fan of the style or statues in general. Now you could argue that the tomato artist pondered forever as to where to throw the tomatoes, but if you can't tell the work that went into it then what does it matter?

Now that's a REALLY CONSERVATIVE way of seeing art... of course you wouldn't understand a pollock's painting either. Now, beyond theory, lies something known as concept, which is something -i'm guessing- you may not have heard of. Obviously there's beauty and worth in a structured and more "palpable" work, something that, for example, can be transcribed to a partiture. But there's also enjoyment of art in other levels, which is what Frith tries to do. It's not about if you can do it or not.
