Click and get it started and go on and check out other stuffand just listen to the sounds.

If you like this and don't like the Grateful Dead. H'mmmm I don't know about you, but you give me hope for some of our/my outside jams.

If you guys are fans of Nels Cline (who is AMAZING!!)....go buy/see the NEW Wilco documentary "Ashes of American Flags". You can see Nels doing his absolute best! The footage is amazing and his playing is so vivid, anyone would be hard pressed to find a more unique guiatrist.

+1 for Ashes of American Flags. Huge Wilco fan here. To hear that Nels is using dr.z is beyond exciting!!!

From what I gather Nels is still using Tim Schroeder's amps exclusively for live shows, but I'm sure has several sweet options such as the Z.
Just wait for the new record. I was picking up my guitar from there and one of the Wilco fellas dropped off a "guitorgan" Its this big hollowbody guitar that sounds like a sweet hammond organ when you press the strings against the frets. Essentially its not for strumming and more for tapping. One of the techs show me the guts of the guitar and all the knobs... honestly glad I wasn't him..

Last I heard, Nels was using one of Tweedy's older JTM-45s with Wilco. Not so sure what he uses on other projects, though. I know that when he travels, he'll play the "Amp du Jour" game with loaners. Check his web site for details on that. Kinda funny.
Wish I knew what he used on Banyan - Live at Perkins' Palace. He absolutely kills on that album.

I just saw Wilco play last night in my hometown here, in Granada, Spain, and he was using a "Schroeder" head (I've never seen/heard one before!!), and a whole bunch of pedals. Every guitarist at the gig ended up questioning our playing, and, of course, our tone. Amazing guy!! I wish he'd been playing a Z, as I could've told everyone I own one!!!!!! What a great player and what an amazing tone!!! Cheers from Spain, Andy

Shroeder has put out their Nels Cline model now. Sweet amp! Every time I've seen Nels he has used the Shroeder. Sounds friggin great with his Jazzmasters. He's like electric water. Amazing!!!

i was watching this noise experimentation by Nels Cline when lo and behold i see a Route 66 at 7:00. i love Nels Cline's solo music. and IT IS music!!! Wow, that was great! Good stuff. And what a nice alternative to the usual blues rock three chord pentatonic stuff that is so prevalent on this forum . Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. I just like other stuff too.

I love Nels work with Wilco, but that stuff is kind of hard to watch. Way to self indulgent and pretentious. And LONG.

Way to self indulgent and pretentious. And LONG. Almost as self indulgent and pretentious as making such judgemental statements about someone's music. "Okay everyone - just play your D chord!"

"Okay everyone - just play your D chord!" haha, ouch. not really sure how it's self-indulgent and pretentious. its escaping the boundaries of the musical laws we are subjected to. the only snobs/poser's i have ever met have been the listeners themselves, not the artists. its okay to not like something, but if you dont like something it should be for what the music is or isnt, not who the musician is IMO

Around 7:00 some real magic begins and lasts for a few minutes. Most of this is pretty intriguing for improvisation... No real dead ends and some consistantly fairly engaging sonic sculpture. But not what many people consider music, unfortunately. Most unfortunately. I think this kind of diving into the deep end is essential even though some people take issue with it.

I prefaced it by saying I love Nels. I just don't like this video. I have a couple of his solo projects on CD and they are all over the place, lots of good stuff and some things that don't work.
I say that it is self indulgent b/c it is way to long and rambling. I say it is pretentious b/c I don't think creating weird sounds is that much of an accomplishment. I have a Tape Echo and a theremin...
Anyways, I am not trying to get anyone's panties in a wad, I just think he has done better work. His strangeness, is (in my opinion), best suited amidst the normalacy of a simple song, a la Wilco.

That is exactly why I wrote it's way better if you don't watch the video. You have to use your ears. Your eyes distract you of the sounds being made. You need to remove yoursef from the idea of guitar and music in general. I don't consider this music, but you don't always have to play music. Music isn't the only recorded matter that you can listen to. If you like this I highly reccomend "Surrender to the Air"... It's really cool almost zero centered listening. Surrender to the Air From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Surrender to the Air
Surrender to the Air in 1996
Members Trey Anastasio Marshall Allen Damon R. Choice Marc Ribot John Medeski Michael Ray James Harvey Jon Fishman Oteil Burbridge Kofi Burbridge Bob Gulloti Surrender to the Air was a free jazz ensemble led by Trey Anastasio of Phish that included Marshall Allen, Damon Choice, and Michael Ray of the Sun Ra Orchestra, John Medeski, Marc Ribot, Oteil Burbridge, Jon Fishman, and several other musicians.
The group performed two concerts at the New York Arts Academy in April 1996 and disbanded shortly thereafter. The concerts, like the group's sole album, consisted of completely improvised music.
Around the time of the group's formation, Anastasio mentioned in interviews that he based the ensemble around Sun Ra's free jazz ensembles of the mid-twentieth century. "A lot of times, I think he was the pinnacle," said Anastasio. "He was as good as it got. His values remained pure for his entire life, and there's something to be said for that."[1]DAVE
