He has this really badass double neck that was custom made it is something else. The darn thing has pickups all over the place! You can't get very many clear shots of this very strange double-neck.
Hi Outputfestival, thank you very much for uploading the video of this genius of the prepared guitar. Excuse me, I might ask you if you know any other innovators who have used extreme avant-garde and experimental noise with the electric guitar, since the mid-1960s, just like Keith Rowe (as well as geniuses like Derek Bailey, Bjorn Fongaard)? I am very interested in finding experimental creative guitarists, before the so-called Hendrix era. I believe they exist, as in fact Rowe, Fongaard and Bailey, Sonny Sharrock, Red Krayola, Fifty Foot Hose etc .. Please, I would really like to hear some news. I also ask the question to any commentators who know. Thank you very much and I hope for an answer!
I've been playing the eBow since around 1980. For those who don't know, they did make a double eBow for a while that would bow two strings at once. It was marketed for steel guitar players, and that's about all you ever see use them, but they can be used on 6-string guitars as well. If you want to see one demo'ed properly, look for a video of Phil Keaggy playing Amazing Grace on one.
Here's another example of what an eBow (& metal guitar slides) can do on 6-stringers, & this ensemble (Blastula) opened for Frith at the Reithalle in Bern, Switzerland in Dec. 1996: ua-cam.com/video/SUTYXuXRNA8/v-deo.html
Lots of good ideas there. I will shortly drive my neighbours insane, by practicing arpeggios with an e-bow and brushing my guitar. There's not enough players like Frith.
Now there is someone who has studied the APPLICATION of the guitar. Genius man! Been a Frith Fan for years. Thanks Output festival. Keen stuff...

Actually think I found a video with another dbl neck equally as amazing
bravo Fred! inspiring video! thank you very much
Fred Frith, once again, brilliantly demonstrates that I've been playing guitar all wrong. Or at least in a very limited fashion.
No Birds is a beautiful track, probably the best off of that album (Guitar Solos), it's nice that you like it.
love your work!!
Thank's for post¡¡¡ Great genius Fred¡¡

mind is blown.
Brilliant! Now at last I know how he makes some of those ungodly noises.
Awesome stuff
Interesting ideas. More workshop please ...
we want more... we want more :)
all I could think of was sigur ros when he was playing with the bow.
really inspiring
@patrickspicer1 it's an additional pickup
More please!!
5:25 reminds me of the clangers :)

最後に出てきたレーザーみたいなのは何ですか？
E-BOWというエフェクターのようです
electrified steel vibrations *(-_-)*
So a car isn't a car until you turn the key?
Technically tony, yeah. Just like a person isn’t a person until they wake up or if a door isn’t a door until you lock it
Jimmy Page took notes....
