Wayne Krantz - Guitar Power 

Wayne is a god damn legend. I would urge all the viewers here to certainly buy his albums, but also check out the live recordings he's made with Keith Carlock and Tim Lefebvre - this may well be the most innovative and dynamic sounding trio of this millennium. Thank you for featuring a true legend and one of the most underrated guitar players of all time here. I could listen to Wayne talk for hours!

Love how Krantz incorporates a open string in nearly every chord voicing in very creative ways.

I think Dweezil is an awesome host. He has a great interview style and I really respect his musicality.

Wayne is very well spoken and articulate about the building blocks of his style.

I can't imagine a more suitable host; Dweezil has the chops & the credibility, and always seems to ask the right kind of questions. Like others, though, each installment seems to be too short. I'd like to see these last 20 minutes or more, because the conversations don't ever seem complete, like they haven't run their natural course. I haven't seem one that I didn't enjoy

Wayne is such a great original creative player - thanks for the interview!

I heard Wayne's first album in 1990 and have been a fan ever since. Such a unique and rhythmic musician and composer. If you play guitar and not familiar with Wayne there is a huge hole in your listening you need to fill ASAP!

I've been watching the series with Dweezil. Wayne Krantz (BTW, whom I'd not heard of before) is sooooo on top of his discipline it's fun to watch Dweezil struggle to keep up (playing the role of student).

i wish this was longer

I love intellectual musicians. Wayne is an example. Dweezil is another one..

Here's how cool Wayne really is: A few years ago I went to his website and bought his book "An Improviser's OS" and was totally amazed at how little I knew about improvising and the guitar's complexity. So I sat down and worked on it a lot. Then put it down. Then took it up again. Read the book several times, jumped from here to there. Slow progress. I wanted to make a video series on the book with some practical examples. I sent Wayne an e-mail and asked if it was okay to use his book in a video series and he said yes! I was thrilled and started making videos right away. As of August 2018 I'm on part 7, ready to dig deeper into modes and subgroups, really theoretical but very useful. I was at a clinic with Wayne once here in Norway and got to ask a question. What was most awesome about that clinic was that we got to watch him actually practice the guitar. He was really searching for the right notes and it wasn't like scripted beforehand or anything. That was an incredible experience to me. The second edition of the book is ready in September 2018 according to his website and I think I will buy that one as well.

Love Wayne Krantz! Thanks for continuing to have these incredible players on Guitar Power - but PLEASE- there must be more of this stuff. Longer, unedited episodes, please.

My favorite two players! When I took a Dweezilla lesson from DZ, he recommended Krantz's book, " An Improviser's OS. " That book has been a MAJOR eye opener for me.

Ha, from 15-19 all I did was try to sound like Wayne Krantz and Zappa. So this is mind blowing.

Dweezil is so damn focused!

i love these sessions, another amazing season, this is my favorite for season 2, i'm in san antonio, everybody here owns a guitar, 2 million people but no music go figure

Man, Wayne is a monster musician

Wayne is awesome! 👍

Only know him for a few months, since MusicRoom, but I love love love his first 2 albums. The music is perfect. Can't stop playing them. The rhythm stuff is insane. And it's so original. Always get really happy when I play those tracks.

DZ "so, shall we jam?" WK "yea, we could." 😆

Thanks for sharing that D'addario

Somehow I just discovered this. This season of guests is amazing!!

Hey Wayne @8:22 'Whatever That Idea Is' ... Please do a whole album of you solo improvising over loops.... 'Wayne & Loops' I could dig that.

Absolutely great job! LOVE THIS SERIES!

So glad I stuck with this video. 99% of people out there would not appreciate this! This is like Ornette Colman taking it to another plane. Well done Mr. Zappa! Good questions and bringing it back down to earth.

Wayne Krantz is the Truth!!

live at 55 bar !!!! yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaah

i wish this episode was longer. really enjoyed it. thank you

really great guests, love wayne and his playing...make vids longer please!

Love these D'Addario and thank you. Wayne provides great insight here on the difference between studying and creating music. Awesome interviews but also wish they were a bit longer. Dweezil is a most humble Guitar God and the perfect host.

Wayne and Dweezil! This is simply amazing!

this is brilliant.

Saw Wayne at Bar 55 last week after not having seen him in about 12 years, I was blown away. I always knew he was good but as far as I can tell he’s reached a new level. My impression was that this is a man who could go toe to toe with ANY guitarist on ANY stage in the planet.

very very very very crucial words of wisdom and practice directions .great interview

Dweezil you played great on The Tonight Show/Jimmy Fallon the other night. Peace !!!

Like the way Wayne goes about making music.

i love wayne

Highly recommend Wayne's book mentioned in this vid. Read ur years ago, helps to break patterns and establish true improv.

The magic of this video really starts at 4:40. This is the shit right here! I feel as though I finally found the answer to the question as to how this guy thinks. There's a 2010 version of The Goodbye Look that hit me so hard, I reached out to who I thought was the guitar player (Herrington) and he said "Wayne Krantz" and that was the first time I heard his name. This explains that and for me, puts Os and Os2 as well as the latest book into perspective in a big way. That and some visionary videos by Mitch Chmara whom I studied with for a couple of years but I digress. This video really cleared some things up in my thinking. Wayne is the GOAT! Well, one of them and there's a couple out there for sure ;)

This was good advice from Wayne on breaking the grid beats

Wayne 🤩😍🎸🐕🇺🇲

fantastic interview -- possibly the best online for krantz

Great show AGAIN Dweezil

Wayne Krantz is a god of Guitar

EVERY MUSICIAN SHOULD HAVE A LOOPER IF THEY NEED A CATALYST FOR CREATIVITY!!!!! (at least guitar players)

Love this series

Best interview ever?!

How nice was that!

What a bright, funny, earnest cat! besides being a great player.

He's such a unique and cool player

Great video.

anyone know if that's an original Suhr from the late '90s he's playing? i've never seen one with that much natural wear on it. It would totally make sense of Krantz was aware of them before the rest of us

Krantz the yoda

I heard the theme from TV series of "Batman" at 4:15

He's right (WK.) writing out music gives you another way to look at it, but until you do that you will never know what that experience is. .

ok i've watched 3 of these Guitar Power videos and i love'em but there needs to be, in the description below the video, more info about who these guys are and were.... more info please !! Should i know them ? Sure. Do i ? nope. So school us !

This here shows yet again how Wayne Krantz is one of the best guitarists there is and one of the best musicians that will ever be.

WK = The Big Kahuna.

Dweezil shouldn't be so timid, shit he's playing his pops music which is highly rhythmic. Having a background in jazz improv is a huge benefit to making improv more interesting and flexible. Wonder if he can play a simple tune like Softly as in a morning sunrise?

I'm here for the white Suhr.

Somebody please tell Wayne that his Web site (seems to be linked to Bands in Town) ain't workin'. Dead mojo.

Would love to see Kevin Parker!

Where can I find the full version

Fantastic video! Keep it up!

Who edited this? c´mon...

😵‍💫

just abit like troubardix...hahaha,ähm;cooking with water...

Dig

Nice content! Keep it up!

what pedal is Dweezil using in the intro?

I love Wayne’s playing but I wonder if his statement about theory not being necessary is true. It would be difficult to say for sure if you studied theory as I’m sure he did. How would one know if it was affecting your playing at some level.

Who?

music notation; "what it afforded you beyond your ear..." ponder that, rock stars

great video you think Daddario would have leant him a string cutter to use on his guitar!

Still waiting for Mac DeMarco

3:08 .. ascending scale is g major, not c .. i know nobody should give a fuck and i dont, and wayne krantz sure won't, but its a weird glitchy thing, and dweezil zappa looks kind of awkward like he noticed.

Wayne blocks people on his patreon even though he's the one with a bad attitude. He regularly loses members because of his attitude. The guy has a video of him shirtless on the front page of his website. He has some serious ego issues.

That is the worst sounding Suhr I've ever heard. Like it was messed up on purpose to sound broken.
