    Pat is undeniably a living legend, wielding a profound influence on successive generations of musicians spanning diverse styles and genres, a legacy that endures.
    Sincere appreciation for this insightful interview!
    As a D'Addario artist, I am truly privileged. D'Addario strings unquestionably stand as a testament to excellence!

    I've seen Pat live so many times I lost count. The first time was when he played in Gary Burton's band in the mid 70's. I was in high school at the time. I remember purchasing his first LP, Bright Size Life, when it was released. I still have that LP.

    Got to give D'Addario credit for not only genuinely collaborating with Pat and having the good sense to trust his ideas, but for making this more than the useless short clip and wasted opportunity it could and typically would have been. Somebody over there must know what's going on.

    I first saw Pat Metheny at a small lecture hall at MSU in 1978. We sat up front on the floor with maybe 250 people in the room.I went with a friend who's brother suggested we should check him out neither of us had ever heard of him or his music before that. He opened with Phase Dance with his guitar on a stand and that night changed my love of music in a way that no other music ever has. I have been a huge fan of Pat's ever since that night. Pat's music often goes to a place in my soul that no other music can. Thank's Pat and RIP Lyle.

    Just saw Pat with Ron Carter at the Blue Note Tokyo. A bucket list show. After the show I waited and then reached way over his pedal board to grab a pick. D’Addario Pat Metheny custom. I Instantly got reprimanded in Japanese by one of the staff, but I had that pick in my pocket! There used to be a custom at Metheny shows, if you knew, where you could wait until his tech would come out. Then you’d hold out your hand and she would pass out the picks that he drops continuously throughout the show. I’m a Metheny fanatic originally from Kansas City and started with his free summer concerts in the park, in the early eighties.

      Can you please help me meet him? I've been trying for 42 years. He didn't have a meet and greet after his show in March, and the time before that, when he came to Atlanta, we were still getting through Covid. His music has been such a huge part of my life for around 45 years since I was introduced to American Garage and the film series "The Search for Solutions" produced by PBS. I can't even get my hands on a copy of that one.

I was just invited to the Sadowsky factory by Roger himself since I now have become a Sadowsky Guitars artist! Big moment for me! Pat is listed on their website with a Sadowsky nylon string. Pat was the one who inspired me to start playing jazz guitar in the first place. I grew up in small town Norway. I still remember that moment I heard his solo on “Have you heard”! It blew me away. To this day, every time I pick up my guitar, I try to reach for that!

    Pat methenys guitar warm up is amazing. What amazes me is how content some of these musicians (especially Pat metheny, and buckethead) are without substance, drugs. Nobody wakes up feeling great, consistently? Pat metheny was into buckethead back in 90s. Most likely from bucketheads album, Colma’. Bucketheads made for his mom in hospital at time. Both Pat metheny and buckethead are influenced by Derik Bailey guitarist, Freestyle jazz improvisation.(Noise) freestyle jazz has NO tonal center, no root or key. The absolute worst (delinquent kids scribbling crayons). When someone kicks row of garbage cans down flight of stairs Pat metheny says, he hears music in that.

    I think Pat sold out. These videos of him about the making of his albums has become this self obsession over himself, VERY cheesy, selling coffee cups, t-shirts, the DI ADario Strings advertisement is beyond pathetic and an embarrassment. Many questions. What happened to Lyle? Dropped like a hot potato. No mention of tribute to him? Then that album where he plays every instrument with this automated robot machines, showing us he is suppose to be this "god" figure, and year by year the record albums just get worse and worse. But what is particularly disturbing is that most real sincere artist, let their music speak for itself, Pat seems to parade himself on bragging about every album, as "The first time" as if he has discovered the cure for cancer. I won't buy it.

There's no length limit you have to stay under, so why are you cutting so much and shortchanging the viewers? Pretty disrespectful, honestly.
