Bryan Baker is a true artist, amazing!

Another super interesting discussion! Thanks!

So many interesting insights in these videos.

One of the more interesting discussions I've heard about music anywhere. Thanks for putting these out.

Great stuff.

Really enjoy these discussions.

Tom Delonge brought me here

The part about hearing what you play before you play it I've always wondered about.

Great playing and a great tone. Anyone know what he’s using for this sound?

Excellent job! Big Baker fan. I can't believe all the great players that were at Berklee when you were there!

He reminds me of Wayne Krantz.

15:10 I'm watching a baby monitor while watching this interview while practicing

Man this video deserves many more views. Bryan is such a phenomenal musician.

I can totally relate to what Bryan is talking about! Awesome player with a great perspective on musik imho

Great interview! I totally agree with Bryan about the „not hearing every single note“….that would be like hearing every single letter while speaking.

As far as drums go. Play the drums you need on synth guitar and get some good samples. That's what I do on my album, Hyperreal. It's not cheating if you play the drums yourself.....on guitar! In fact I'd love to hear Bryan on drums....on guitar!

This is a fascinating interview. Hell of a player, too. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting observation about musicians and music: after seeing and listening to a number of Bryan’s blazing solos, then listening to this interview (which I found riveting, btw), I notice such a strong parallel between how musicians play and how they ARE. The style/type/kind of play (in his case, fast, mile-a-minute, TONS of intriguing ideas) is reflected in his speech pattens, fast, mile-a-minute, so much so, I had to back up a number of times to figure out what he said. I find this true in many cases. For instance, I had the great fortune to meet Jim Hall years ago; he was the epitome of a gentle soft-spoken man, and this was totally reflected in his playing; a drummer friend of mine is the most bombastic busy, over-playing guy I’ve ever worked with, and I can hardly stand talking with him because THAT’S how he approaches conversations, aggressive, wordy non-stop in your face assault. Interesting. Thanks for this interview. Highly inspirational

"It matches my profession" dude is on another level what an awesome musician

bryan has avant garde temperaments i guess. he should listen to the residents, "duck stab" lp from 1978. "theory of obscurity" in music, proposed by the residents. helpful for berkely nerds trying to undo their knowledge and think on higher terms. he can also listen to the scott walker lp "bish bosch" from 2012.

Bryan's rhythmic phrasing is amazing! Just stumbled on him again! What is he up to?

This is so eye opening and necessary for anyone that lives or wants to live music for what it is..

Really appreciate this. Thanks!

Maestro.

Great video, thanks.

Great video, thanks.

8:37 this is a hilarious critique on shred obsessed players

Wow. What an amazing person. He's like a transition man!!! Philosophy...

Great Video! Thanks!

So good. Thanks for this!

This guy is fantastic! I'd like to learn more about him, but the links in the description don't work for me :(

This was a fantastic interview, thanks for uploading.

I love this guy. There's so goddamn little of him on UA-cam. I'm going through his book right now and it's really great.

A master of his craft. His insight is invaluable. I wondered what happened to him!

No.

It’s rather shocking how low the number of views these videos have . This is really great

Wow. This is quite insightful . I happened upon clips of baker playing and he clearly is capable and delivers. I began getting skeptical after seeing various clips over time where there seemed to be disparate shifts in his look or superficial “ vibe “ aspect - couldn’t tell if this was just someone evolving over time or marketing attempts. There are some performances where his demeanor came off as arrogant or having disdain for his context. This series of clips from this interview is pretty illuminating as to what could be motivators for things that could leave that impression . Regardless of whatever superficially based judgement , what is far more clear now , is his impatience or appetite and searching and his drive ; throughout the interview there are many profound questions conclusions and insights he points to that are very very worthwhile things to be thinking about or reevaluating- at some points his answers are so quick and cutting that it becomes clear that there are even flaws in the apparent notion of what the questions seems to be after; his answer sweeps things aside and addresses the core of what was attempted to be asked and the way it’s delivered reveals he has given these ideas considerable thought already and that some things are less complex than they purport to be and have obvious answers or solutions at times.Thank you for this

So much common sense and insight -- thank you Bryan (and interviewer) .....thank you for posting this...

I wish he could talk about his influences ! More than using scales in a different way, I think some of the fast intervals he play can be found in Shawn Lane's or Thelonious Monk's music.

awesome

\m/\m/ great to hear about that metal project again. :D

Bryan Baker.... this guy is stunning

Thanks so much for recording this, Bryan Baker is one of the best improvising guitarists out there, at least to my ears.

It's kind of like the difference between the clothes, as opposed to the person underneath the clothes... amirite?

love this guy's attitude - now off to practice....

"Jazz Dad". Ha!

I love the discussion of art vs. commerce, the part about being confident at shows & the worm story at the end. Profound stuff.

Interminable, unprepared, monotone, bumbling interviewer. Bryan is great, though!

Love this interview especially towards the end - lots of good points and ideas. Thanks Elliot and Bryan for this!

yes Bryan! Great interview!
