This interview with Pat who is one of my fav guitarist on this planet since 83, was enlightening and totally inspiring ! He plays with pure feeling & joy in is heart.
Hands down, the best Pat Metheny interview I've ever heard! Intelligent questions and thoughtful answers. You were both of the top of your game. I wish more people would watch this interview before they do their own with him. For all those who wish to interview Pat Metheny someday, ask a great question and shut up! And the man-splaining has got to stop.
This is a great testimony to a great musician. Probably the thing I love the most about Pat is his extreme dedication, and his soloing here on Bright size life says it all. It's so intellectual and soulful at the same time. Just beautiful and mindblowing.
8:00 Et pour rebondir sur ce que Pat disait à propos des premières notes jouées et de leur consistance dans ce qui ensuite se développer autour, on a le parfait exemple avec le morceau à l'écoute, "To The end Of The World". Le sample de batterie utilisé par le PMG est, vous l'avez reconnu bien sûr, celui de Snap "The Power", sorti sensiblement à la même époque que "We Live Here". Outre le clin d'oeil accentué évident à "l'actualité" musicale de son temps, Pat et Lyle ont avant tout été frappé par le "son" de ce sample et par le fait qu'il avait naturellement sa place là, au milieu de cette magistrale composition, simplement parce que ça matchait. J'étais aussi un fan de Snap, j'avais 22 / 23 ans quand ce hit est sorti. Et le redécouvrir ainsi dans la musique du PMG était un sentiment extraordinaire de confirmation de l'absolue curiosité pour la nouveauté, le "frais", comme on dit en France, de ces deux exceptionnels talents. Passionnante interview. Merci
Enjoyed all 3 sections, even with the interruptions. The music in the "background" didn't bother me, as I know it so well I could just groove as I listened to the interview. I just love the way Pat expresses himself- so articulate and poetic! Thank you so much, Richard, and great job!
Thanks! UA-cam has its rules and they are sometimes anti-artistic. But I'm glad you enjoyed it, and hope you'll check out some of the other great interviews, such as Lyle Mays, Mark Egan, Gary Burton, Chick Corea... and many more!
Oyy this was great and one could spend years studying just those two demonstrations of Pat. If I could only come up with half of that stuff i'd die happy. Also always great to hear Pat speak. He is such a well articulated and erudite speaker (as is Herbie btw). He often makes me think that he has so many other interesting things to say about a variety of topics which aren't even music related. There is a real sense of broad humanity in him. It is through Pat that I started to pay attention to the melodic content of players and unfortunately he is right, many players just don't have that melodic standard that he has and to be frank, it's the most complicated thing to study. It's therefor unfortunate that Pat doesn't teach more, given that he is one of the few who consistently brings up melodic development and story telling in a way which isn't about cells, scales, modes, licks, patterns as many many many others do. It's the language of describing and correlating it to a framework of harmony, but it doesn't really tell you why it is good melodic development and a meaningful musical statement. Thanks for this, I've read your book many years ago.
Pat's eloquence is all but robotic in its perfection. And really, can we cite another first-rate artist--which is one who has achieved universal appreciation--whose career has been as successful and unchecked as Pat's? And I mean all artistic genres and going all the way back to the Renaissance? Okay, maybe Picasso, but he was saddled by being an impossible asshole. And then there's Dickens, who was saddled with an insane wife and overall bad health. But Pat's career is unmatched. And his robotic eloquence unexplained but captivating.
Sorry, but this was originally made for the BBC and that is the style of their production. I had no choice. You will notice in the many interviews on my channel, I never use music as background to an interview because music is NOT background! I will also add that I dislike most drama programs that have the scoring so loud it is difficult to hear the dialogue! Since you made it through 3 shows, you might as well finish it?
@@DRRICHARDNILES Thanks for the explanation - I've had that problem with BBC stuff many times and I'm totally with you on drama scoring. As I'm so pleased with your reply I'll go back and finish it! 😆
@@DRRICHARDNILES Yes, they were playing that beautiful song _To The End of the World_ in the background and you have to either concentrate on the music or concentrate on the talking, one can't do both at the same time.

Thanks. Do you mean "Jazz - splaining"?😎
This is great. What a musician he is.
Very inspirational. Many thanks.
Oh how profound.. Having met Pat Metheny in person, 3 times... He is exactly what he is.. Compulsively overproductive genius!

Spectacular interview and great material!! Many thanks
Great interviews! Well done, man!

14:30: Thanks fot sharing. Anyone ever tell you you sound quite a bit like Keith Jarrett?

Amazing how Pat take can make so many melodies out of just four notes.
Thanks for this!
He's a genius in that fields, Jazzzzz

Yes greatest artistic career of all time
pat metheny lecture
This became just too frustrating to listen to with the talking and music vying for attention. I gave up at 14.00
