You’re right. If it makes any difference, one of Rosenwinkel’s mentors and favorite players was Allan Holdsworth. If you knew about that master player’s technical love of instrumentation and pedals, you could imagine where Kurt finds lasting inspiration. It’s a deep well.
Kurt has arrived at an improvisational level impossible to join for a lot of fellow guitarists anymore. Listening to him is very much inspirational though.
The sound of his guitar is pretty unique, as if the attack is rolled of, almost like a quick "swell" on a Line 6 DL4, but it is masterfully done in his hands, or feet maybe? It's pretty awesome to hear!
managed to catch these guys on their sweden tour in my small town Härnösand just before the quarantine, that was the last show i went to before they closed. These guys were fenomenal live! I remember me and my friends were freaking out over that bass, is it an acustic? It has an uppright bridge? Where's the pickup? What is that shape? Miss them nights at the jazz club with the boys..
this is an artigianal bass my teacher Dario received from a luthier around here in italy. It has a piezo pickup inside. It prompts some hybrid electric bass/double-bass features for a more.. jazzy sound!
@@kundinga The luthier is from Spain, the bass is called a Marcustico and is made by Joaquin Marco Saenz de Ormijana in Vittoria Gasteiz in northern Spain
Would be nice to hear a better audio mix... no offence intended to the YT Channel/venue, but it just sounds like a raw board mix from the concert... could maybe be EQ'd to be more pleasant. Bass is too middy, guitar too low etc. Just my 20 Cents
kurt love the guitar sound slow gear effect from way back, but on every track. Absolutely not, still love you though, so I forgive, in a subjective way.
I understand Kurt is a great artist and this is the sound he chooses to use now. I don't mind anyone using an effect, the problem I have with it is that it makes the guitar tone less expressive, since it removes all variation from the attack.
