The John McLaughlin song introduced me to the man and his music. I thought, if Miles Davis names a song after a player, maybe I should listen to him. I found a great concert of Mahavishnu Orchestra in Boston. I've been hooked ever since. I love the Shakti period. He is a joyful player. He reminds me a lot of Oscar Peterson. They seem to hear notes no one else can hear, and they're both so creative within their self-imposed restraints.

Several YT channels proclaim that nothing new is happening. These "why do all modern jazz artists sound the same" guys are often primarily about affirmation of what they already know and not really into expanding at all. It's way more of a buzz to hear players like Mary Halvorson, David Torn and Brandon Seabrook than it is to just like what you know and know what you like. Three Layer Cake completely confounds expectations of what you might anticipate from Mike Watt. It's also a gorgeous sounding record...really astounding on a good playback system.

The last two Talk Talk albums were Spirit of Eden (1988) and Laughing Stock (1991). These were the two albums that were recorded using multiple session musicians often playing small parts of a song which Mark Hollis and Tim Friese-Greene then took away and edited into complete tracks. The Colour of Spring came before these two in 1986 and features David Rhodes - a good candidate for a Guitar Moderne interview!

Great interview Michael!!! John is my greatest guitar hero, and great influence in spirituality as well. I have to disagree with both of you however. That Johnny Smith with the sony preamp sound is a little off-putting for me. I has a "sour" sound with a lack of articulation to my ears. However it is only that Johnny Smith guitar sound of John's that I don't like, all the rest in his entire career I love, including the guitar synth sounds. His tone on the early Mahavishnu albums is among the best ever!

@@hoagyguitarmichael Thanks Michael. I really tried to like that sound. As you mentioned it was used on the album with Elvin J and Joeu D. Along with several other albums. And I didn't know that he didn't use an amp with it but instead went directly into the PA. As a guitar player, I can see how that is not a typical set-up that normally produces good sound. To me it lacked dynamics and articulation, which took away from the sffect and impact of his machine-gun-like picking. Then it had a peculiar sound that I describe as "sour". The sound is interesting, but not guitar-like, nor beautiful, IMO. Interestinly of late I have been able to open up my ears to get what other people such as yourself like about it. But in the past, as a fanatic of John's, I was quite disapointed with it. To reiterate, great interview - it really allowed me to understand John as a muscian and person better- Just found your channel. I also watched one of the Bill Frisell interviewa which was fascinating!

@@pjjmsn That is where we differ. I was never a fan of his early rock tone; I felt it lacked the range and expressiveness of the other great guitarists of the time: Beck, Clapton, Hendrix. I loved the "sourness" and expressive quality of his Bigsby work later. Glad you like the Frisell as well.

@@hoagyguitarmichael Thanks Michael. It is interesting to try to put myself into someone else's ears. And I must admit that I haven't had the greatest ears with regard to setting up my own guitar tone iin the past although I have gotten better at it. I actually went back and did a little listening to his Johnny Smith tone again with an attempt to open my ears more. I think I was able to grasp better what you are describing and liking. And also what John said about the pickups being "wide". So I think I got it, but I still came away with the feeling that the guitar was somewhat unresponsive to his fingers and was not faithfully putting out the sound that his fingers were telling it to do. And, along those lines, there were more than a few dead notes, which, to be fair could have been him missing notes with his fingers, but it didn't seem to be. I was listening to his solo on My Favorite Things here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eJ6Et9SOeZfFlc4.html&ab_channel=PavelLevin With regard to his old tone, a good example of what I was talking about was his solo on Dance of Maya from Inner Mounting Flame, starting at 4 minutes in.
