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 can't disagree with anything you said but isn't this video supposed to be about the XL Chromes??? Frank Gambale gave me a pk of these string to try and they were the worst strings I've ever encountered.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@daddarioandcohow about offering them for sale to the public? It doesn’t necessarily have to have his name on it. Let’s not let the Jim Dunlop brand have all the fun.
Pat is a master of creating intense, complex, sublime, yet mellow music. His work with Lyle and the "Group" is some of the finest music of the last 150 yrs. Their live gigs were cosmic experiences unlike any other jazz or rock concert.
Always such a articulate speaker and one of my favourite composers and musicians. I’m hoping this is the first of many of these sort of interviews for you guys.
@@daddarioandco❤ I have been using your strings forever! I am NYC jazz and session guitarist. 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!
Red Rocks 95 was my first Pat show. I have seen him several times at Paramount Theater in Denver. One time front row right in front of Antonio. And a couple of times at Boulder Theater he is one of my all time favorite musicians.
Pat is a complete musician always searching for exelence and something new. A successful partnership with D'Addario. The best strings and one of the best musicians in the world. He's so simple with all that talent and without any proud of himself. I'm a fan and I'm more fan after hearing this amazing interview. Congrats Pat!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Keep being this wonderful musician and person you are. My deep respect. And let me hear "San Lorenzo", now and then "Phase Dance".🎸🎶🎵
Totally one of the goat. His brother mike was a trumpet player too…had one record on impulse back in the late 80’s/early 90’s if i recall. Didnt know pat started on trumpet too. Seen him a bunch over the last 40 years in so many incarnations…every show was killin. Now about that hair…lol
Pat has been a MAMMOTH inspiration to so many guitarists, I composed "The Direction of Wind" especially in honor of this optimistic sound, dedicated to Pat & Lyle.
I bought all sorts of strings when younger, but eventually I turned to D'addario and I only buy them these days. They sound good and they don't break. I have experimented with loads of alternate tunings on all my various string instrument, and those strings always do the job.
I didn't hear anything in this saying he collaborated on Chromes (nor whether he uses them), even though the 4th segment is labeled as such- anyone have a clue? I had been under the impression for a long time that he used roundwounds?
Pm is a guitarist more fusion flavoured , pmg etc . Do you like his jazz efforts. I have them all but I prefer his fusion . He made his fortune with lyle who I may add had more success as a jazzer , pm poached lyle from his jazz career
Yeah I can relate to the strings my seven string guitars D'Addario and the older the better sometimes I never change strings except for a broken string mostly High e b strings occasionally another new strings sound to Sandy to me just my take I dig p a t s creativity reaching for the Stars on the literal connecting the dots exploration I like his Ibanez Arch tops don't have Ibanez archtop what would like to get one have Gibsons I have other nice great Ibanez guitars though sometimes you forget about some musicians and then you go oh he plays on a fill in the blank so you think h u m I said check out one of those cuz I like the way he makes it sound maybe I can get that same sound that I like that he's getting out of that instrument anyway I have to pick up some Pat LPS this weekend May 2024 add them to my musical listening part of my life but this is a great interview by far hola
It is a prototype Ibanez made for Pat after Pat started playing Slaman guitars a few years back. Ibanez panicked, and started making more-or-less copies of that Slaman.
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.
Pat has a long history of working directly with D'Addario regarding string development, and seldom does interviews to this extent. Likely, it is because he wanted to.
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.
This is a very poorly-edited video. There are multiple parts where it just cuts in to a story he's halfway through telling or a point he's halfway through making, without any context being established. And I'm only five minutes in. There's no length limit you have to stay under, so why are you cutting so much and shortchanging the viewers? Pretty disrespectful, honestly.
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!
...a Legacy that incorporates the influences that Pat had like Wes Montgomery.
These are wonderful words. A pleasure to have you both as D'Addario artists!
@@daddarioandco I'm honoured! Thank you!
Does anyone knows the song that's playing in the final section?

I love to listen to Pat talk about music as much as I love to listen to him play music
Same for us! Thanks for watching.

Let's never take his ability to compose for granted! After ROAD TO THE SUN I feel Pat is so much more than an incredible guitarist
A genius.
This interview is full of proper gold
We agree! Thanks for watching. 🎸
Great to meet you in Tokyo Pat! Unforgettable!
Pat is the father I never had. Thank you Pat for showing me important stuff (not only music) since 2003.
❤

We make those custom picks for Pat as well!

Living legend!
True!
Such a gifted musician, and an innovator in so many ways. Great interview!
We agree! Thanks for watching.

Total legend!
Yes he is!
@@daddarioandco And legendary strings by the way! I don't use any other brand anymore because none feel as good as yours!
Always such a articulate speaker and one of my favourite composers and musicians. I’m hoping this is the first of many of these sort of interviews for you guys.
Pat is such a legend…certainly my biggest musical influence. And, D’addario, my #1 choice of strings for over 40 years !
We agree, he's a legend! Thanks for sticking with us for so long!
Nice! Been following Pat since 1979. Still learned something new. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
What a legend. Amazing video!
LOVE this!!
Great interview really enjoyable 🙏
Such a brilliant and intelligent guy! Every time he speaks, I learn something.
Agreed! Same for us!

It will be interesting to see if someday Pat and his son will be playing together on stage ...time will tell ?!
Imagine Tom Cruise with bitchin' hair... That's Pat, action star, bad ass, a living legend. Great interview!
I don't like jazz guitar, but I like Pat's playing.

what is that guitar!? I can't find that Ibanez on their site or anywhere.
It is a prototype Ibanez made for Pat after Pat started playing Slaman guitars a few years back. Ibanez panicked, and started making more-or-less copies of that Slaman.
@@imbra I would play that guitar. I love Ibanez necks. My Ibanez is the workhorse of all my archtops.
10:06: Very sad, especially when one considers the 20th century was so much richer and more fascinating than the 21st.

I take it Pat is not a fan of Nirvana, is he? :D
I have one question for Pat: Why this commercial ? Are You broke?
Pat has a long history of working directly with D'Addario regarding string development, and seldom does interviews to this extent. Likely, it is because he wanted to.
10:41 eh, what is he talking about?! everybody plays guitar without any traditional instruction codifed as canon?! huh? what?
At 0:42 there's a Squier on a stand. If Pat Metheny thinks they're ok then all those snobs should just shut up now :)

I never expected his voice to sound like that..... You guys should ask him to work on a song with Kenny G and record it on video...
right? he has a super distinct voice
Pat hates Kenny G
Hahaha....i hope that never happens. That would be like asking Hendrix to play with Yanni.
@@ulrichmueller-romeike7037 Precisely. He hates Kenny because he was able to amass more success than Pat ever dreamed of and in less time.
