Legendary innovator, UK 'tabletop' guitarist Keith Rowe has explored the guitar as a primary source of pure sound, extending it with an array of objects and bric-a-brac, for more than 30 years. Keith Rowe is probably best known for his groundbreaking work with AMM and the SCRATCH ORCHESTRA. "Twanging ruler-shaped objects set off a cartoon style jiggling tremolo, a block of foam causes mountainous scuffling booms...A one man sound lab and dub studio formed out of a corner hardware shop.."[The Wire June 1999]

zsector wonders: "is this guy actually good at playing the guitar conventionally?". Why does nobody ever ask whether Segovia could play "Sweet Home Alabama", or whether Hendrix had some Bavarian folk tunes in his repertoire? Keith Rowe is not "dabbling in noise making" - he invented a new approach to playing guitar, and has developed this style for 4 decades. According to Wikipedia, he started as a jazz guitarist until he recognised that "trying to play guitar like Jim Hall seemed quite wrong."

before you down thumb me, let me just tell you that I like this stuff. but I wonder, is this guy actually good at playing the guitar conventionally? Because I know I started dabbling in noise making when I was having trouble early on when playing.

And one more thing......I have tried prepared guitar music at various times with different degrees of what I would term success. One of the problems has been the old earth hum factor from combinations of effects and it isn't always obvious why.

Why a minus comment?

Not sure I understand,but don't get me wrong - I love this stuff whatever the philosophy behind it.

freedom is a perceptual reference. 'freedom from something isnt freedom' - k.

please.. instead of making vapid comments on youtube. go and do what you said.. do some free improv! bang your face on a wall.. you have the freedom to choose any wall.. maybe a brick one would have a nice texture. and repeat x1000000000000000 times. thank u.
