This was wonderful. I love hearing everything John McLoughlan has to say. Incredible musician, amazing person. So much respect and admiration for him. He looks fantastic and music must be keeping him young, both in looks and in his heart
It's amazing hearing John talk about life and music. He's the best guitar player alive, but he's still so accesible and humble. He name tags Miles Davis, Gil Evans, Ravel, Debussy, Mississippi blues, indian & flamenco music as his roots, that's a big cross to bear but he carried it to perfection, to a resurrection. Please keep doing Montreux!
Hey John, a blast from the past. I saw you with Mahavishnu Orchestra, 1971 Vogue Theatre Bloomington Indiana. Thank you John. That changed my life, and influeced my guitar playing. I love you brother!
Dear John, Thank you for taking us all along on a breathtaking Spiritual Journey. We are all enriched by the sheer beauty of your compositions and pushing the boundaries of music. Your dedication is humbling. Your beautiful ballads certainly evoke a glimpse of Samadhi
What he says about Jimi and Trane is bang on. I'd never heard anyone make that connection, until just now, then, after he made it, I pondered it for just a second...and bingo - "Of course! You're exactly correct, John!" Listening to them, they are nothing alike. But if we go deeper than merely the superficial, one can begin to hear they both thought about music uniquely...creating it as well as performing it. From what I know about Trane, in addition to what everyone knows, I've heard that John was a very logical, left-brain sort of thinker...more engineer than poet. I'm not saying he wasn't an artist, first and foremost...he definitely was. Obviously. He would look at music (sheet music) almost like it was a diagram, or a puzzle...and depending on his mindset, or mood, he'd break it down accordingly. Take chord structures, for example, he'd either lay them out horizontially (left to right), stack them vertically...or look at it like a single line of melody instead of a chord progression. When Bird played, after his musical epiphany, Bird would blow solos over chord progressions by literally "keying" off of each note of the melody...meaning each note relative to it's corresponding chord would give Parker a key signature to solo in...take that over the entire melody, each note providing a fresh key signature, and this was basically Bird's breakthrough. I know I've butchered it...but this is how I see it. Trane heard post-epiphany Bird playing when he, Trane, was still quite young, and it pretty much blew him away. Later he would take Bird's brilliant idea, but instead of using the melody, he used the chordal arrangments. But instead of say...improvising over a CMajor chord in the key of CMajor, he'd use the 4th, or the 7th, or whatever of that chord for his key signature, but for every chord, and every variant of that chord...so in the end, in Trane's mind, and indeed, in reality, there are no "wrong" notes...he just played every damn one them...really fast, so even if he did hit the occasional clinker, he didn't stay around long enough for anyone to notice. Hahaha....Anyway, Trane, I think, had the mind of an analyst. Jimi, on the other hand, was nothing like that intellectually- lol. But the thing with Jimi is he just instinctively knew that. He had an astonishing gift of insight, of being able to really look deep, and then translating/channeling those abstractions to his fingertips...bypassing the analytical altogether. But the end results were basically the same, and both were really unique innovators and original thinkers.
two geniuses one with heavy music knowledge the other an intuitive one... the result is the two players that take you on a unique ride to space....... no other playres make me feel that way....and besides they changed the modern history of their instruments...

Yes, as you said playing really fast like Miles or McLaughlin or others are called passing notes, it doesn’t matter what notes they are as long as you start on the right note and end on the right note.

So interesting hearing about John McLaughlin's older brothers coming home (I suspect from the military) with the Blues records... I have the shared experience... only a different war during a different time. 1970
Enjoyed the interview. The influences mentioned here which led to John's fusion; classical (including the impressionists and their take on Spanish music), flamenco, blues (including BB King), Indian music/culture, Miles, Coltrane, Hendrix (who extended what Clapton had done adding Coltrane's distortion), and blend that together Into one person's unique mix.

@@dlxinfinite7098 i saw Mahavishnu open for Zappa two nights in a row & watched something i never.saw again in any of the 70 plus Zappa concerts i attended ,both bands played extended versions of their songs so John could out play FZ one night or FZ's percussionists could show up Billy Cobham ,night 2 FZ came out blazing & out played Johns machine gun guitar style with extended melodic solos John couldnt touch ,but Billy did his damdest to play in as many insane time sigs for his drum fills while still ending up back on the 1 and keeping time ,if i had this phone back then the greatest battle of the bands in history .

He talks about the blues in England. Many black GIs came to England in the 40s to prepare for the D-Day invasion. They brought many blues records with them, and left them there after the invasion. Many bands like the Stones and Yardbirds listened to them, also John McGlaughlin.

This I find strange, you interview a top musician and cock up the framing. I cannot believe there was no other way to place the camera so that the interviewer didn't block John half the time.
I wish he would talk about MO music and how it was created, the instrumentation and recording process. We are going to lose this transcendental information and there is not even a video biography of this supergroup, what a pity and a loss to humanity.
Wonderful hearing John's thoughts and stories. If I may offer a bit of constructive criticism, though. If you (the interviewer) are going to edit out the questions or prompts, (and indeed not face the camera), you being in the shot is not only unnecessary but completely distracting. Other than that, thanks for an enjoyable 18 minutes...

Hendrix was influenced by Clapton but also there was Mike Bloomfield recording that awesome style of guitar before Clapton, in 1965 with The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. From 1965 to 1968, those three guitar players each recorded 3-4 masterpiece albums that forever changed the world of guitar playing. Mike Bloomfield: TPBB, East-West, A Long Time Comin', Super Session Eric Clapton: Bluesbreakers, Frech Cream, Disraeli Gears, Wheels of Fire Jimi Hendrix: Are You Experienced, Axis Bold as Love, Electric Ladyland
Spanish is the more accurate word, as opposed to Hispanic, to describe that particular musical influence on composers such as Ravel. And so many obvious questions that go unasked about sound and technique.

Yeah I get what he means when he says cool jazz guitar, what r you doing? Am just playing light, typing out the notes, why don't you express some passion? ,: 0 And this is where Jimi and through Jimi John M came in, there still can be more done though, why can't you play with passion on standard tune like Coltrane or other horn players, flamenco players, blues, rock players? I still enjoy 50's guitarists and cool guitar, it's just saying for something else, Grant Green in my mind is a great player of playing more passionately and with dynamics, from a whisper to shout like a voice/horn, play with passion n depth n subtlety ,: 0

Those were my thoughts too Michael. All due respect to McLaughlin--and yes he is one of the greatest players of all time--but there really is no such thing as "best." To label him as "best" is very immature as I'm sure John himself would agree.
I don't believe that there IS any best. There are/were hundreds of GREAT guitarists out there playing many different styles of music. I basically think that it's up to the listener. I imagine if you asked many of the "greats" who was the best, most would say something to this effect, but I doubt that many would honestly say himself.

Something I've ALWAYS been fascinated/perturbed by, and if anyone here can explain it, *please* do: why does John McLaughlin, a born-and-bred Englishman, speak with some kind of vague, unidentifiable East Asian accent?!?
daveguy11; I see John as a world musician. He has spent his adult life in multiple countries and has been with people/musicians from multiple countries. The result is that like his fusion musical style, he seems to have a fusion of several accents.

Disappointingly, Mr M seems ashamed of his background to the extent that he tries not to even mention it ('small town' will have to do). For example, most people never lose the accent they have (in their native language) at 16 unless they do it very deliberately. However, despite being brought up in the north of England (mainly the northeast) up to that age, JM has for decades made himself sound like a continental European who has learned an American-tinted English as a second language, like some concert pianist or something. Others, such as Allan Holdsworth, who lived in the US for decades, never tried to change how they sounded.

John is a true Genius. He is on the level of Miles if you understand his impact on all - jazz, rock, pop etc.
My favorite composer from the "Jazz Fusion" era. He is a musical giant.
I could listen to John talk forever - so here - so alive - so open - so great - so perfect
Very humble, very great man, a pure blessed genius Mr. McLaughlin is. Just keep going. Your art is amazingly, unexpressibly beautiful.
Yes.

Incredible
Visions of the Emerald Beyond. Iconic!
I feel grateful on seeing him with the Mahavishnu orchestra when I was 17 Thank you
This was wonderful. I love hearing everything John McLoughlan has to say. Incredible musician, amazing person. So much respect and admiration for him. He looks fantastic and music must be keeping him young, both in looks and in his heart
He has changed my life profoundly since I first heard him when I was 15.
" Between nothingness and eternity "
Wow
“The Dance Of Maya” one of the best songs ever written. Takes me away.
I learned it back in about '75 and I still play it all the time on guitar. Still such a great piece!
Yes
It's amazing hearing John talk about life and music. He's the best guitar player alive, but he's still so accesible and humble. He name tags Miles Davis, Gil Evans, Ravel, Debussy, Mississippi blues, indian & flamenco music as his roots, that's a big cross to bear but he carried it to perfection, to a resurrection. Please keep doing Montreux!
Hey John, a blast from the past. I saw you with Mahavishnu Orchestra, 1971 Vogue Theatre Bloomington Indiana. Thank you John. That changed my life, and influeced my guitar playing. I love you brother!
Mahavishnu & The Mothers was probably the BEST double bill I ever saw live, 1973.
Dear John, Thank you for taking us all along on a breathtaking Spiritual Journey. We are all enriched by the sheer beauty of your compositions and pushing the boundaries of music. Your dedication is humbling. Your beautiful ballads certainly evoke a glimpse of Samadhi
my vhs video of him with paco and larry coryell at the royal albert hall in 1979 was worn out. thank god for youtube. incredible guitarist.
I attended once a Mahavishnu orchestra concert, it is unforgettable.
It's always interesting to hear John talk about music.
What he says about Jimi and Trane is bang on. I'd never heard anyone make that connection, until just now, then, after he made it, I pondered it for just a second...and bingo - "Of course! You're exactly correct, John!"
Listening to them, they are nothing alike. But if we go deeper than merely the superficial, one can begin to hear they both thought about music uniquely...creating it as well as performing it. From what I know about Trane, in addition to what everyone knows, I've heard that John was a very logical, left-brain sort of thinker...more engineer than poet. I'm not saying he wasn't an artist, first and foremost...he definitely was. Obviously. He would look at music (sheet music) almost like it was a diagram, or a puzzle...and depending on his mindset, or mood, he'd break it down accordingly. Take chord structures, for example, he'd either lay them out horizontially (left to right), stack them vertically...or look at it like a single line of melody instead of a chord progression.
When Bird played, after his musical epiphany, Bird would blow solos over chord progressions by literally "keying" off of each note of the melody...meaning each note relative to it's corresponding chord would give Parker a key signature to solo in...take that over the entire melody, each note providing a fresh key signature, and this was basically Bird's breakthrough. I know I've butchered it...but this is how I see it.
Trane heard post-epiphany Bird playing when he, Trane, was still quite young, and it pretty much blew him away. Later he would take Bird's brilliant idea, but instead of using the melody, he used the chordal arrangments. But instead of say...improvising over a CMajor chord in the key of CMajor, he'd use the 4th, or the 7th, or whatever of that chord for his key signature, but for every chord, and every variant of that chord...so in the end, in Trane's mind, and indeed, in reality, there are no "wrong" notes...he just played every damn one them...really fast, so even if he did hit the occasional clinker, he didn't stay around long enough for anyone to notice. Hahaha....Anyway, Trane, I think, had the mind of an analyst.
Jimi, on the other hand, was nothing like that intellectually- lol. But the thing with Jimi is he just instinctively knew that. He had an astonishing gift of insight, of being able to really look deep, and then translating/channeling those abstractions to his fingertips...bypassing the analytical altogether. But the end results were basically the same, and both were really unique innovators and original thinkers.
Very insightful comment and spot on IMHO.
two geniuses one with heavy music knowledge the other an intuitive one... the result is the two players that take you on a unique ride to space....... no other playres make me feel that way....and besides they changed the modern history of their instruments...

He is too intelligent to be arrogant and self-complacent like most rock and pop guitarists.
Listening to Johns experience with Miles sounds to the letter like the experience everybody who played with Frank Zappa had.

Interesting and not coincidental that McLaughlin and Santana are spiritual brothers and both passionate Miles devotees.
There's nothing like A Love Supreme off their album.
He would take issue with the appellation “best”. Music is not a contest.
Spanish key is amazing
Say him doing remember Shakti with a lot of Indian players - like proper musicians he was dipping in and out being the music
Yes - one of my favs on Bitches Brew...- Spanish Key
Zawinul's Pharoah's Dance Intro - do do dee do dee, de do dee dee... de do dee do deee.... Murky bass clarinet n repeat : )
Too bad there aren’t more club recordings of McLaughlin playing with Miles except for the Cellar Door/Live Evil stuff.

"what do you do if a dog comes to you and starts to sing" where did that come from?
I wish he would talk about MO music and how it was created, the instrumentation and recording process.
We are going to lose this transcendental information and there is not even a video biography of this supergroup, what a pity and a loss to humanity.
See the entire interview 70 minutes on www.chrissjuicebar.com - a lot of information about MO, how it was created and more.
Wonderful hearing John's thoughts and stories. If I may offer a bit of constructive criticism, though. If you (the interviewer) are going to edit out the questions or prompts, (and indeed not face the camera), you being in the shot is not only unnecessary but completely distracting. Other than that, thanks for an enjoyable 18 minutes...

I am searching for samadhi this day.
Mclaughlin's accent is utterly baffling....he's from south yorkshire...wtf
The greatest acoustic and electric guitarist on the planet. There's no one gets near to John McLaughlin
Yes, it always baffled me why he didn’t call one of his tracks ‘art thee t’one? Art thee t’one?’
Richard Germaine except another yorkshireman
Allan Holdsworth was definitely on his level. McLaughlin said of him that he'd steal everything if he even knew how Allan was doing it.
I've never understood why McLaughlin, a guy from Yorkshire, speaks with a slight German accent.

Ali kuruüzüm Thank you.
Hendrix was influenced by Clapton but also there was Mike Bloomfield recording that awesome style of guitar before Clapton, in 1965 with The Paul Butterfield Blues Band.
From 1965 to 1968, those three guitar players each recorded 3-4 masterpiece albums that forever changed the world of guitar playing.
Mike Bloomfield: TPBB, East-West, A Long Time Comin', Super Session
Eric Clapton: Bluesbreakers, Frech Cream, Disraeli Gears, Wheels of Fire
Jimi Hendrix: Are You Experienced, Axis Bold as Love, Electric Ladyland
Spanish is the more accurate word, as opposed to Hispanic, to describe that particular musical influence on composers such as Ravel.
And so many obvious questions that go unasked about sound and technique.

No mention of Jimmy Page here
Love the interview, but not the loud transitional "whoosh" sounds.
See the 60 min without the whoosh sound on chrissjuicebar.com
Can some one explain why he doesn't have an English accent? He said he grew up in England but he sounds American.
Have you ever met anyone who travels all the time for extended periods and hangs out with loads of people with unpredictable accents?
I wouldn't say he sounds american at all though... he sounds british (kinda posh) quite a lot of the time and ambiguous some times
Funny you should mention his accent. I think he sounds Swedish. Who knows and who cares lots of areas in England with many different accents. I just adore this guys music and wonderful personality.
Rick O'Brien Very true he does sound Swedish
Kev G. He sounds anything but American.
WHY is that guy in the foreground? Completely annoying. Love listening to John McLaughlin.
They could have zoomed in and framed John alone, once he started an answer. That's what I would have done.

Yeah I get what he means when he says cool jazz guitar, what r you doing? Am just playing light, typing out the notes, why don't you express some passion? ,: 0 And this is where Jimi and through Jimi John M came in, there still can be more done though, why can't you play with passion on standard tune like Coltrane or other horn players, flamenco players, blues, rock players? I still enjoy 50's guitarists and cool guitar, it's just saying for something else, Grant Green in my mind is a great player of playing more passionately and with dynamics, from a whisper to shout like a voice/horn, play with passion n depth n subtlety ,: 0
Interesting. He almost sounds like a non-native English speaker.
He needs an interior decorator

Wow we're all here to judge his accent. You're not kidding are you folks. Looks like his music made Zero impact on you. Humans these days are all fucked up!
I'd rather listen to Debussy's Iberia than Miles's Spain
shame about the sound effect...it's as if you are trying to wake us up. It;'s really not necessary.

Singing dog ???
He has the strangest accent. Doesn't sound British at all, sounds like a cross between Indian and American.
- and Scottish!
Indeed, he sounds completely different here to the spaced-out way he used to speak in his Mahavishnu days.
Worlds best guitarist? Kind of hard to judge and decide something like that. It is not the 100 meter dash in the Olympics, give it a rest already..
Those were my thoughts too Michael. All due respect to McLaughlin--and yes he is one of the greatest players of all time--but there really is no such thing as "best." To label him as "best" is very immature as I'm sure John himself would agree.
I don't believe that there IS any best. There are/were hundreds of GREAT guitarists out there playing many different styles of music. I basically think that it's up to the listener. I imagine if you asked many of the "greats" who was the best, most would say something to this effect, but I doubt that many would honestly say himself.
I totally agree!
Michael Craig wow you really get butthurt over a stupid little phrase don't you?
max, if I were you, I wouldn't even bring up the subject of stupidity.
best to sip juice rather than gulp it so as to assimilate the nutrients with saliva.

Something I've ALWAYS been fascinated/perturbed by, and if anyone here can explain it, *please* do: why does John McLaughlin, a born-and-bred Englishman, speak with some kind of vague, unidentifiable East Asian accent?!?
Because he has spent many years in France and still lives here today. But yes, I too always thought this was puzzling and it struck me as odd.
daveguy11; I see John as a world musician. He has spent his adult life in multiple countries and has been with people/musicians from multiple countries. The result is that like his fusion musical style, he seems to have a fusion of several accents.
It's an odd amalgam of vestigial Yorkshire (West Riding), overlaid with Southern England RP, American and French-accented English.
Drop the Star Wars sound effects. It's loud, annoying and has nothing to do with the content.

Those bombastic whoosh sounds are not only unnecessary, but highly annoying and pretty ridiculous. They totally detract from the interview.

Thanks!
Disappointingly, Mr M seems ashamed of his background to the extent that he tries not to even mention it ('small town' will have to do). For example, most people never lose the accent they have (in their native language) at 16 unless they do it very deliberately. However, despite being brought up in the north of England (mainly the northeast) up to that age, JM has for decades made himself sound like a continental European who has learned an American-tinted English as a second language, like some concert pianist or something. Others, such as Allan Holdsworth, who lived in the US for decades, never tried to change how they sounded.
what an ass..
who cares. It's the music, Bubba.
