To hold you until my Guitar Player interview comes out (where we focus more on the new record), here is a great interview with Mitch Gallagher at Sweetwater.

Guitar Moderne Festival XVIII
Apologies for the dearth of posts. I have people trying to migrate my site away from the awful Bluehost and it has been taking longer than expected. It is still not done but they have fixed the email and assure me I can post, so here is a Guitar Festival for those increasingly hot days when you don’t want to go outside.

Les Paul: Noise Guitarist
In keeping with the Xmas spirit, here is a track from Les Paul inspired by Jingle Bells but containing all sorts of jungle noises. Les appears to be making the noises with his guitar by scraping the strings and re-pitching them. His guitar-generated animal sounds predate Adrian Belew’s by almost three decades.
Introducing: LizZard
Thanks to Adrian Belew for introducing me to the French-based band LizZard. Check out how the drummer is killing it while staying locked into the loop.
Like Belew, the singer seems to effortlessly sing complex counter rhythms to the odd time grooves he is playing.
