Frisell fans: During this visit, we also interviewed Bill for the Fretboard Journal Guitar Podcast and talked about guitars, touring, and the new Philip Watson-penned bio on Bill, 'Bill Frisell, Beautiful Dreamer.' We'll be sharing that interview May 25, 2022.

I always admire Mr. Bill playing the fewest notes still sounding like an orchestra, but I just realized that the true magic was by playing the fewest notes, it would somehow allow the listeners filling/adding own notes in our hearts. We are drawn into his music because we are unconsciously playing music with him. He is really amazing.
Ha that’s pretty a brilliant comment
Spot on Kenji !
Perfect description.
A trait shared by JS Bach (Cello Suite 2 Prelude) and Jimi Hendrix (“Castles Made of Sand”) !!!
Well said
Nobody plays guitar like Bill. Creates so much with so little. Beautiful.
Bill's time feel and the tender balance between tragedy and glory is amazing
Well put!!
Bill‘s playing always sounds kind of mystic and wonderful at the same time. When he plays it feels like the time stands still… it takes you on a journey in your head and letting beautiful memories flow… can’t describe…
I love how masters return back to roots. Most jazzers might first pick up an acoustic when they learn the guitar, then buy an electric and never look back. But then you've got masters like Bill Frisell and Julian Lage who make an acoustic sing and cherish its colors.
Bill has a real ability to play with absolutely no ego, so good playing comes across as honest
When I was a kid I was fascinated by a musician on Mitch Miller who made his guitar out to be like it was talking. This reminds me of such, well, in a way, because I had the feeling while you were chording and picking that it was unspoken emotion that was resonating out of the belly of the guitar. Nice
Bill is the best, always playing the perfect note at the perfect time. True master.
Listening to Bill play this standard, one of the biggies that we all aspire to master when we're starting with jazz guitar, makes me feel as if for years I've been missing the trees for the forest.
@High Country Productions Don't be sorry. You gave me a good laugh.
@High Country Productions Oh, you again ... Why did you delete your previous, equally inane message? I couldn't care less what a complete unknown, who can't even spell or punctuate properly, thinks of my knowledge of music and its practitioners. I can only assume that your life is completely barren, if you invest time in attempting to pick fights with strangers over your erroneous perceptions about their knowledge. Toddler, why don't you get back to playing with your blocks?
@Jeff Michael Official Music Channel Yeah, I'm sure you blow.
Hey ah, just letting you know mate, that it’s not a great look giving yourself, or your own artists, band or TH-cam channel praise if you’re looking to make new fans. You really need to get that praise from elsewhere by producing some great content..@Jeff Michael Official Music Channel
Beatiful 😊
yeeeeeeah fabulous, poetry !
Bill seems to be one of the most humble and likeable guitarists around. That he is a master of modesty on the fretboard seems to make sense as well.
Noticed he is playing a Waterloo 14 fret, made by Collins' shop. It is simple, but very well made - kind of like Bill!
bee ooo tee ful sound and playing perfect pitch and intonation and feeling too
sweet
It's a different flavour of magic to hear Bill playing an acoustic guitar on this!
simplicity, melody and art at the highest level
thank you Bill
Yessss hes back thank god
As always a pure joy to listen to... I dig the shirt as well...
JEEZ-O-PETE !!!! So tasteful, so beautiful !!!!!!
Uow! Bill ❤
Wow. Simple and so beautiful.
The Maestro. More by Bill, please.
pure magic...
a true original! Long live Bill.
No se necesita nada más para crear la belleza
Good 🎸 Billie thank you.
Serious class here.Thank you Bill,saw you in Toronto back in the 80's.
Hermosísima versión e interpretación!!! Gracias!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
super cool
wonderful
such a great player. Funny he really never takes a solo, but changes up the melody with syncopation and dynamics enough that you "hear" a solo. Really a masterclass in honoring the melody.
Such an artist
Pure beauty
As always utterly beautiful and inventive
uhhh - wow!! just real and wonderful!
Refreshing brother
atractive minimalism. love it
Beautiful
I love how he is playing a Parlour guitar which I are my favorite acoustics especially to play Jazz on. I have a PRS Parlour guitar which is so easy to play on coming from playing electrics.
Perfect.
frickin' amazing
still the greatest
Ah, Bill. You've been an inspiration to me ever since I belatedly bought "In Line" in '89. You changed my guitar world.
Awesome 👍
Mastery! Wow
Yeah ! Very Artistic Guitar Player !
amazing
Magnífico
That's impressive..thanks
Love the open string arpeggio lines. Short and sweet
Perfect way to get the day going 🙌🏼
Oh man... thank you for this
Very Nice, chords Melody ❤🤟🤟
Always a pleasure to hear Bill Frisell.
Hi bill great video and playing I would love to learn to play like this good day sir
Wow, sooo deep and beautiful, thanks for sharing!!
Beautiful, everytime....
Beautiful...thank you.
What a wonderful tone!
Bravo 👍 faisons de la musique, pas la guerre.
I sing this since I learned it via LP in the Philippines…still y will learn the chords kinda like you did señor Gracias y btw the guitar i always love to have…my Martin om28 is good too❤🎉
Not just the most eloquent playing ...but hats off to that shirt.
I do not like this shirt
Sublime, spare and skeletal. Thelonius Monk would have loved it. I can see him getting up, Fez capped, and doing one of his little dances of joy.
Um gênio
Unico vero guitar player
That's a wild shirt for Bill
I do not like this shirt it drives me crazy 🤪
It seems so simple to play a guitar this way, it's difficult to think it's actually the hardest way to do it
I just realized that Bill had been one of Norah Jones's guitarists for ages, I had not realized that, although I've been a fan of both for years
Bill has played with Norah for example (The Long Day is Over), but he has never been the guitarist in her band. Maybe you mistaken him for Adam Levy, a great guitarist in his own right.
@@MelodicDreamers th-cam.com/video/Sx1RgCjmvfg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NorahJones
Jim Campilongo was her guitarist in The Little Willie's.
Ya, I just found out as well. The recent "Come Away With Me" 20th anniversary video of Nora's with Bill et al is great!
@@MerlotC Yes th-cam.com/video/Sx1RgCjmvfg/w-d-xo.html
Nice play guitar.......👍👍🇮🇩
His version with Paul Motian is one of my favs of all time
Absolutely, what great music 🎶.
Nice
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of professional play, to which case I said to myself “I believe I could play this good”. That being said Bill Frisell is a legend
He is Just suberb...
Jerry Kern wrote so many effortless and non-trivial key changes.
Good morning everyone
Frisella is also a special bread, double cooked, typical of southern italian regions such as Puglia, Basilicata and Calabria
Brilliant! Not a fan of Waterloo guitars but he makes great music with it.
НУ МУТОТЕНЬ !!!
Excellent. Anybody know of a solo like this of Autumn Leaves?
Barney Kessel has a great solo rendition.
Julian Lage
@@dcaudwell
Thanks much!
I love chord etudes but admittedly am way too lazy to figure out tunes myself.

Interesting guitar choice hey
El Pato!
Usually I ask about the guitar-but anyone know where I can get that flannel??? 😂
Worst shirt ever
@@Sean____. hard disagree
😮
I'm slightly hard of seeing.What kind of guitar is Mr. Bill playing?Music is great too!
It's a Waterloo. Very nice 1930s style acoustic
does anyone know who makes Bill's shirt here?
Worst shirt ever
!
What guitar is it?
Probably my all time favorite guitar player. Somehow to me it looks like he is always about to drop his guitar and pick. If you turned e sound off without knowing him, you would almost think, I don’t think this guy can even play…0
Ha ha ha
Then we notice that it's due to a sort of humble attitude of his towards the instrument and the piece he's playing, where he carefully chooses where, what and how to play. Few guitarists (or musicians in general) are so thoughtful in their playing.
Note to Fretboard Video Editor, smooth video editing of a soloist is achieved by changing the camera shot at the end of a musical phrase, not just anywhere within the musical performance.
Possibly one of the worst video edits ever witnessed
Miles Davis used to suggest musicians use more space
Yess space is everything and almost a lost art in todays music
Clapton is god ahahah ! great player !
That's all? There's GOT to be more to her ...
q capo que es
I have to believe this wonderful composition may be performed dramatically better than this.
something is not good with 1 string..everything else is briliant...
Too bad the intonation of that guitar is totally wack. It’s not playing in tune anywhere on the neck.
I think he's proving a point, that one can make great music even on a Wallmart guitar - or as the addage goes "a good rooster can crow anywhere"
Sounds like there is struggle to find notes.
Not really that impressed with the arrangement or his playing actually - it’s a beautiful piece written by Jerome Kern and the few poorly timed licks and chord progression didn’t do to this beautiful number justice - it had the potential to be so much more enjoyable and moving IMO
Oh Really. Post your version.
@@bmaiani why
@@bmaiani You read my mind and stole my thunder lol
@@pls_explain9608 exactly.
I'm sure you can find a suitable Guy Lombardo or Lawrence Welk rendition somewhere on U-Toob.
Lovely. Would sound better on a nylon string.
