A buddy of mine bought this for me years ago and it never leaves the stereo. if it ain't in the carousel, it's leaning against it. Probably my favourite guitar toanz evvahh

Man this stuff is great...Bill Frisell has my attention now. I love his approach to music he is not just playing chords or scales on strings he is playing the amp, effects and making it sing. He is the kind of musician that can make anything sound musical...

Thanks ILF. Wouldn't have listened to this without this thread. Awesome.

ATTN: Any ILF'ers that live in Seattle, Bill Frisell will be playing a free benefit for a work acquaintance of mine on June 12th, at the Local Color coffee shop at Pike Place Market. My family has run a business at Pike Place market my whole life and I've known Loni McIntosh for about as far back as I can remember. She has stage four brain cancer and as we always do in the market crafts community we are holding an auction/party for her to raise money for her treatment. All the proceeds from the auction will go to help her with her medical bills and all the profits from the bar as well, Local Color serves beer and wine as well as coffee. Apparently Bill Firsell is a personal friend of Loni's and this is why he is helping out as well. If you live in Seattle come on down (I think around 7PM is when it gets started) buy some beers. hear Frisell (amazing) and bid on some art/crafts from Pike Place.

Cheers.

I hope lots of money gets raised.

I wish the best of luck to Loni, and hope all goes well.

Great to see a Bill Frisell thread and know that more guitarists are discovering his music. Some words that come to mind when I want to describe his music: Jazz, Folk, Americana, Roots, Psychedelic, World Music. No matter how one describes Bill's music, it's hard to find musicians that don't appreciate his unique uses of the tonal palette.

Watched this last the other night on Vimeo and thought we already had a Frisell thread... He's really only using the DL and the Freeze with OD... So much TOANZZZ...

Frisell's been at it for years, he's put in his dues and to paraphrase Thurston Moore "he's eclectic as a muh'fuck".
