- Pat Metheny: "What's It All About" (available June 14th)
"To me, there were always several interesting things about this piece," Metheny says of Carly Simon's first major hit (That's The Way I Always Heard It Should Be), "not the least of which is the way that she moves from root minor key to the major key just a half step above it so effortlessly in a way that is almost invisible. But also, I always just thought it was a great melody, with that big leap at the end of the first phrase. And form wise, the way it goes through this whole thing and then starts back up again to make the same build again. My take on it harmonically colors in some of what I always thought was implied in there."
After nearly 40 recordings under his own name, this is the first Pat Metheny album where there is not a single Metheny composition represented. This is a personal view of ten classic songs, some very well known, some less so, filtered through the harmonic and melodic ideology of a modern master with a most individual approach.

Been listening to you for 32 years now Pat...you are still the king of the hill to my ears, ...and thank you for ALL of your work.
That note of cord in emotion
I'm a grown ass man, and Pat Metheny can literally bring a tear to my eye at an instant. Always been one of my biggest heroes
An absolute pinnacle of technique, tone, and feel
"it moves me in ways I still don't understand" ..... the first time I heard a Pat Metheny song I had that same reaction...and I still always do. I love this music too... like none other and nothing else ..
The man puts his heart and soul into each note. You're the man Pat
Genius. Love it. Only Pat could do this.
I can't describe what I feel when I hear your music. Thanks for existing
when I was 16 my cousin Toni put the san lorenzo tune from patmetheny group's first album...and something changed forever...the way I listen and understand music
Thanx Pat
That was his best album
The white album
San Lorenzo is cool
This Carly Simon cover is superb!
Amazing rendition.
The gentle humanity of Metheny... comes thru in his playing. Wow, what a phenom...
there's a direct connection from your fingers, through strings and wood, to my ears and my heart
It's like hearing a burning passion of heavenly art directly from his guitar..
Allways an transcendent experience to hear you play 🙏🏻
i love his work!!!!!!!!!!! musical genius!
What a talented man! His style is instantly recognizable. How can anyone not give this 👍
What a compliment to you Carly .
Moved to near tears Pat
Living in this crazy world. .Thank you for a reprieve...Thank you for a wonderful sigh of relief Mr. METHENY

Genius! Metheny is amazing. Good night!
I don't even know why there's a dislike button. God himself wouldn't allow that any of us could dislike this kind of music.
Amazing acoustic guitar performance!!! I was impressed very much. Thank you Pat. I remembered the memory of your "The Way Up" concert in Hiroshima, Japan. Because the standing ovation continued forever, You had to say to the audience "Please sit down". You know
Wowww ... I could fall in love with this interpretation that reaches the soul under the stars ...and the moon !
For those who still have emotions God sent Pat :)
I haven't heard Pat in years and stumbled upon this, beautiful.
This speaks to my inner being in ways that most other "music" cannot even come close to!
Happy I got to see him in concert many yrs ago,master of the guitar
Le plus grand guitariste du monde!! Un musicien transfiguré en ange!!
Pat, the soundtrack of my life. Thanks.
He takes a perfect song, and brings us an entire new enjoyment
In my humble-but-most-accurate opine, very few excel at 'purely-musical' interpretation - then, its revelation on the guitar of compositions by others - better than Mr. Metheny; even those considerable tunes with lyrics. And he's been doing this, exponentially and dramatically, for a long time. He is to be lauded, commended and recommended for his expertise within this unique style. An amazing instrumentalist. I think we kindred recognize genius when it presents itself - and then, to our utter amazement.
Mr. Shank, I read youtube comments with feelings and with thought, and some trepidation, of course. Your words here help me to feel like what I have enjoyed and has thrilled me isn't too far off of what the experienced and talented ones recognize as 'good'. I play some guitar and I loved your words. Thanks.
Just beautiful
Amadeus of our time....thanks Pat, you make our lives better..:)
I love this song and really enjoyed your rendition, Great work!
Very very beautiful playing and the sound of the guitar is just exellent
marc par cette musique, tu es toujours là et tu demeures dans nos coeurs à jamais
Sublime &extraordinary!
Proof that a melody will set you free
Thanks Pat, this is going to be a birthday present for me a week after release!
Excelente Pat, si pudieras producir más temas solo con guitarra, sería fabuloso.
this song brought tears then and even more so now. great composers, great musicians equal timeless music that can be extracted from the "vault" then reintroduced. Pat M. does it again and again on guitar. Thank you, Carly for the original.
Absolutely sublime...as ever!
deeply moving
... beautiful 💖
Thx from Florida
such talented men!
there will be no other like him, never !!!!!!
Indeed.

10:10 tell that to Page and Johnson and Vai and Satriani and Malmsteen and Eddie VH.........

Brilliant--masterful! Nobody does it better, as I'm sure Carly would agree.
I got the 2001 like...Pat took me out there and back inside.
Dear Lord, that is gorgeous!
Dear Pat,
Amazing!! Fantastic
Just phenomenal!!!
very nice
He's been around for many years. He's done some soundtracks. Look up 'the falcon and the snowman' among others. Seen him in concert many times. Tends to play with other jazz artists when he's touring with out his group. He's one of my favorites.
kma
Love his music
Awesome Pat thank you again and again and again........
Amazing stuff Pat, beautiful!
One more show form the master!!!
SO TOUCHING, SO HEART FELT, I WONDER WHAT YOU WERE THINKING, TAKE CARE
Technical virtuosity delivers rich emotion Thnks nice cover
Great music, and fantastic quality your guitar is awesome
Your skilled my man!!
It would be so cool to be able to play guitar like this
Miss those days of seeing you play at the JCC
Pat Metheny's version was beautiful, but I truly like your version more. I played the video at %75 speed and it was close to the original song and added a bit more of that "raining on a sunny day" feel. I would love to hear it replayed a little slower if you ever felt up to it. Either way simply amazing!
Superb
Great!
Phrasing is birdsong. Thanks Pat.
beautiful
this sounds pretty nice
I have been playing guitar forever but when I here Pat I wonder why us mere mortals even play
A musician’s musician interpreting genius
That's exactly what I love about covers.
Love pat metheny!
A request for Pat--
I would SO love to see a TAB music book of this new solo album, which I have been very highly anticipating. I am currently building a Baritone to be set up for your "partial Nashville" tuning so that I can learn the tunes you so beautifully transcribed in your "One Quiet Night" book.
All the best to you, and thanks so much for your constant inspiration.

TRUE NORTH GUITARS

SuperBadger49- Man I agree completely man:) I feel so.......incredibly blessed

Bob in Oceansdei
your music is like a glass of water in the desert
Nice song! I loved it!
the best
That's an overstatement, I suspect. He acknowledges that music comes from a source that transcends the material realm as we understand it. He was raised around (not "in," really) a pretty bizarre sect in Missouri, which probably did quite a bit to cultivate an aversion to religion -- something I share, even though I'm a Christian believer. And yes, I earnestly believe that Pat and his music are gifts from a loving God. :-)
This didn't really hit me until I played the original (elsewhere here). Gorgeous tune.
The geniality lies in the simplicity
AMAZING!!!!!!!! love this....
...thanks..
so sweet :)
love

Wow!
carly singing to Pat playing ... priceless
first arpegio of this song is from another song's first arpegio called que alegria of john mclaughlin
why can't the real world be like this?
only joy
My comment was based on recommendations that Pat has on his website. The books are "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins and "Irreligion: A Mathematician Explains Why the Arguments for God Just Don't Add Up" by John Allen Paulos.
