RE: For Keith and Michael



Very good indeed i like it a LOT,I like when you use the looper to create an abstract "backing" and then let it change and flow and the guitar sound like a GUITAR:`...

I just posted this video I recorded yesterday on a Zoom Q3 of an improvisation that bears influence form both Keith Jarret and Michael Hedges, The Hedges influence is obvious, but the Jarret influence is more in spirit than style. I was deeply effected by his Koln Concert recordings in my early twenties. I wanted to play the guitar the way he played the piano, with that flowing lyricism, range of emotion, and fearlessness to start an idea and see where it takes you. I still want to.
 I'm using the looperlative's quantize replace function a bunch, which is highly addictive but great for generating  percolating note sequences, not to mention happy accidents and left turns.
