Bill Frisell - "Happy Trails" || Fretboard Summit

[@julienarrijs]

it's funny how bill always sounds like bill regardless of the instrument he's playing, there's always that intriguating tone quality !

[@tonydarmand]

a song you've heard a million times and bill can almost bring you to tears with the way he plays it. my favourite player by a mile.

[@Dedhedted71]

Bill always plays the sweetest guitars!

[@danhope77]

I love this man. He's a big sweetie!!

[@forrestpope1559]

that was so wonderful! im almost in tears. what a quiet unasuming peice of art

[@bingefeller]

Beautiful.

[@danielcornelison4159]

I love Bills smooth, but halting style. There’s something brilliant about it.

[@tomnicholas4125]

I think this is a great comment--"smooth but halting." It's a wonderful compliment, I think.

[@jeffstanton5526]

The word you're looking for is Frisellian. LOL

[@aschneider70]

wonderful playing and what a beautiful guitar!

[@Trombonology]

Beautiful!

[@bobmclaughlin3851]

Wow!

[@freddymclain]

what a guy...

[@bandicoot5412]

He does it

[@campparsonssundayschool7844]

I read where Bill now lives in Ballard. That's where I grew up. My cousin and I used to roll down the grassy knolls at the Hiram M. Chittenden locks when we were kids.

[@fretboardjournal]

+camp parson's sunday school Bill does live nearby and the Fretboard Journal is based here as well. If you haven't been to Ballard in a while, you may not recognize it!

[@jbilly24]

Fretboard Journal good or bad? I've heard Seattle has taken a turn for the worse? Shame, it' was such a beautiful city.

[@doekebekius1271]

I want that guitar!

[@myguitar1]

+Doeke Bekius i want these hands :-)

[@doekebekius1271]

I want his hands also.

[@kevinscientist]

you take a plastering but you keep on mastering :v

[@hiroprotagonitis]

Isn't this the same sort of guitar Julian Lage played for Acoustic Guitar sessions?

[@fretboardjournal]

+jajaboomers Yep, Collings Waterloo.

[@millsmillsmills203]

+Fretboard Journal Different bracing though!

[@devonmeyers1329]

Is this the ladder or x braced?

[@fretboardjournal]

The guitar in this video has X-bracing.

[@devonmeyers1329]

Thank you so much!

[@arlenroth8373]

Sounds like a sad good-bye to Bill Collings.....

[@TheresaStClare]

I work with people at death...I play this. Sometimes we sing it. It's very sweet, calming and healing.

[@jrbr549]

Does anyone intentionally see David Crosby play guitar? I've seen him strum but nothing ever close to remarkable. Fight me.

[@danabourgeois5439]

I saw Crosby at the Fretboard Summit. His guitar playing on Deja Vous, at least, was unique and remarkable.

[@kenrafferty2347]

When and where

[@jazzman1954]

So rare to hear a guitar play a melody. Melody is now a dirty word. What happened to music?

[@amazingme1408]

not even Bill can make this boxy crap waterloo sound good

[@IrreverendThomas]

Have you ever played a Waterloo?
