    When Pat Metheny picked up a guitar the world changed for ever. He has everything. People have made whole careers on only 1/100th of what he will show in one song. And he puts it into every song. Find him and listen.

      He also makes the most expressive/funny guitar faces when he’s really feeling himself during his guitar solos.

    I was born to be a "guitar guy" in Indianapolis and was performing by mid-60's, and have always been pretty damn good at it. But, I met Pat, and Mick, and Gary in the summer of 1973 ( stage band camp in Normal, Illinois ) through family in Boston ( before I went to Berklee ), and immediately realized that there were true wizards in the room. The guitar fingerboard never looked the same to me from then on, even though I spent MUCH time on nylon strings and "Segovia Repertoire". Memorization IS challenging, especially in Baroque Music, but not as instantaneously creative as these guys, Pat in particular. Lucky we all are to have such people in the world. Really lucky.

      I share your sadness Wladek. Those two brothers bound together by such magical creations. I feel like a beautiful dream that for me lasted more than 30 years has abruptly come to an end. I'm so thankful.

      Wladek, your pain is real, and widely shared. Lyle was incredibly creative, and his grace shone through so many of the group's compositions.
      Pat's work with Anna Maria Jopek was incredible (I'm assuming your connection was that collaboration), and I'm grateful that those recordings introduced me to Leszek Mozder, an artist in his own right.

    You sir are unbelievably talented. To cover and explain the genius of Pat is amazing. For me you have unlocked the many style techniques that has haunted my dreams since I first heard Pat in my teenage years in the 70’s. I’ve been playing on stage now for over 45 years but only the blues only to be secretly wishing I could play like Pat. Thank you so much for your work and ability to teach us what’s behind the curtain.

    I'm not even a guitar player (I'm a drummer) but even I found this fascinating. Obviously, it takes one superb technician and musician to dissect the playing of another.Obviously, Pat Metheny was/is a prodigy, being able to grasp all kinds of scales and such at such an early age. He is one of my favorite artists, period.Many thanks for posting this and the others.

    How does one summon the time in a busy life like yours even in youth to pick up so much knowlege in so many diffrent styles and learn to produce and write a hit song. Ive seen teachers write down on a blackboard how Charlie Parker plays but you have actually injested the exact solos of so many players and can demonstrate them like nothing. Incredible!

    I have to add a comment to this Rick .....I have been listening to Pat Metheny for 30 years, and being a player myself, never quite understood the complexity of his playing and you have broken it down so well. I guess I play along with his music not realizing what I am doing technically. Thank you so much for all the time you put into your videos.....please keep them coming !!

  • @yodservant

    How awesome you are Rick, I learned about Pat in 1985 from my jazz Prof Charlie Jennison at UNH, he had done some teaching at Berklee, and my life changed forever ...moved to Palo Alto in 1989 and have been more or less in California ever since. Pat's has become the soundtrack to my very colorful and strange life. Just before coming back to the US in 1984, I'd been living in Switzerland and was introduced to Andreas Vollenweider by a mutual Italian friend ...years later took up Celtic harp and electro-harp ...ran into David Arkenstone as a neighbor and friend in Cambria CA years later...funny how paths cross. My former hubby turned out to have been Todd Rundgren's sound engineer at Utopia in Bearsville back in the late 70s. It's like a huge interdimensional puzzle coming together ....peace and blessings from Sedona AZ🙏🏵️🦁🌵

    Pat Metheny is a real American treasure. I don’t know of any other musician who is as serious as Pat about his craft, and to hear him speak you realize quickly how smart he is and how he is able to express in words his point as well as he expresses his message through his instrument. Pure genius composer that I believe is as important as Aaron Copeland with his ability to sound truly American. I still listen to him daily and have for 30 years plus, for my money he’s the best jazz player ever. Everyone should know how important he is to music.

    @JulieMoranNE111 3 роки тому +3

    What's always amazed me about all of Pat Metheny's work is not so much about dexterity and playing style, but the unparalleled complexity of HARMONY ... along with extremely creative, appealing, narcotic crafting of SONGS (for me the peak was "Letter From Home" album I've listened to hundreds of times). That in my view is what for me has made what he (and Lyle Mays) does musically so unique and addicting to listen to. Far and away my favorite musical artist.

    I was turned on to Pat in my dorm room. A guy across the hall loaned me "Watercolors." I was hooked. I must have seen Pat perform 6-8 times, and each time was fresh. Beyond his technical brilliance, his teeth, and his striped shirts....was this guy committed to giving other musicians a little exposure. I remember when he introduced Pedro Aznar for the first time....and in Berkeley, he introduced a group of sisters who had put some lyrics to one of his tunes. His kind and caring introductions of these young musicians....was so cool. Thanks Pat....for always looking up!

I only discovered him this year and am going through his repertoire, but wondered whether I could fully appreciate the performance with my lack of knowledge of jazz/jazz fusion guitar. I’m currently a student of classical guitar and am trying to broaden my horizons. After this breakdown of his style, I’m now more excited about the upcoming event.

    Metheny was an amazing musician even in high school. I was in the same school, at the same time he was. He played a few assemblies at the school during our senior year, jaw dropping even then. I never met him, but now I wish I had. I played bass in garage bands in those days after teaching myself guitar and other musicians I knew there were saying he took the phrase 'far out' even farther.

I could never play anywhere like what he does, but his music has been an inspiration for 30+ years. Saw him from the front row at the Bushnell in CT in 1988.

    How cool. Love your analysis of Pat's music and playing. As for the concert at Nazareth in 1981, I was there!! I think that was the start of his synth guitar and the Offramp Tour. I lived in Rochester at that time and previously saw him at Brockport with the 1980-81 tour, but nothing compared to the concert at Nazareth. I was so blown away being a guitar player myself. That was a milestone in music history as far as I am considered.I play with Nik in Rocheter who I am sure you know of. Dave Mancini is a good friend of mine who I am beting you know. So good to hear you play and praise my most favorite player/composer.

    Damn... what a time warp. Reminds me of great times and really good feels. Love this record, for me was Austin Tx in the mid 90’s finding Pat. I’m 48 now, but this music really brings some peace and ease, it’s just got that certain something... Secret Story and Letter From Home too. Watercolors, Bright Size Life.. Thank you Metheny. Thanks RB!

    Lovely Rick! Pat Metheny lured me into jazz. Thru him I got to know Lyle Mays and my music life changed forever ❤️ Lyle’s solo on James is probably one of my favorites solos of all time.

    The early years were great. He was unknown and with such a fluid style. I saw him a couple of times at free concerts at Swope Park in Kansas City, where I think he is from. Outdoors in the evening, it was a great time to discover an up and coming jazz guitarist.

    You have no idea how happy I am to have found your channel. Finally someone who can actually discuss music. And isn't targeting absolute beginners. You have a new subscriber my good man. Keep doing good work, since his name came up, would to hear you analyse Wes's work and improv style
