Pat Metheny: Last Train Home

[@warriordrum]

Stunning. Much more complex than most mortals can grok. Guitar players know how difficult this type of playing and rearranging is, and how perfect his tone is. What a treasure this man is.

[@crescentsi]

Yes! The emotional complexity and compositional sophistication are both endearing and intellectually stimulating.

His melodies have always reminded me of rural america, the outdoors..

[@reivax5742]

Me too.

[@MrPonkine]

Pat Metheny has such a wonderful and developed sense of melody and harmony. He plays here with his baritone guitar, hence he not only plays the melody in a different key, but also gives a reharmonization of the whole picture. Simply astounding. This IS ''Last Train Home', played in such a different flavour and feeling. And he does improvise during the piece as well.

[@lucianowajman6819]

Agree, my friend. He is, in my opinion, a GENIOUS!

[@iancollier2586]

Yes it is Last Train Home, it least Pat's relatively recent reimagining of it. It's on one of his solo acoustic CDs.

[@drdnyddd]

One quiet night. My favorite Pats album

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

I love his solo performances....complete master work, never disappoints. I just love excellence and musicianship.

[@randyborst7517]

This IS Last train home as I've heard for the last 25 or so years. just acoustic and solo

[@clementdistanos1526]

Musicien étonnant, depuis toujours, quelle simplicité, quelle beauté, quelle pureté. Merci l'artiste.

[@michaeladdiego7786]

Trans-f’ing-cendant. The bassline under the melody is so beautiful. Wow. No words.

[@TLMuse]

The very end sounds like a brief excerpt from "Country poem" from his even older *New Chautauqua* solo album. I love both tunes, so it was a special treat to hear Pat link them here.

[@nlp-akademie-therealstuff8823]

Perfection, tears every time. Have been seeing them live multiple times. Unique.. Thx!

[@scottwatkinsmusic7351]

What a great acoustic version of this tune! Love the chordal arrangement here.

[@philpreeo5515]

Had the privilege to see him perform this one life. I am unashamed to say I teared up when I saw that performance. Waited 20 years to see him perform.

Great arrangement of is song in Nashville Baritone tuning (in C)!!...sounds amazing!!...

[@virginiefaure1742]

Always you and your band... 🙏👍😘

[@MacusTheGreat289]

Just an FYI, as someone who has been a Metheny fan for almost 10 years. This is Last Train Home, except it's slowed down gradually and played differently. That's why it doesn't sound much like the original version.

[@rolfw2336]

And I think he's playing on a Baritone guitar, which adds a new twist to the old tune.

[@silviobpas]

Beyond Mr. Metheny's big talent, the barithone guitar sounds really amazing!

[@cocomochalatte5937]

this is beautiful!! I think I love this more than the original

[@MegaCarmine12]

beautiful. Now im gonna spent the rest of my life and try to learn to play this masterpiece

[@LoEndFreque1]

I don't care what it's called, it's the greatest solo guitar piece I've ever heard and will continue to hear. Me and the guy in the front row know what's up.

[@giorgiodebernardi6765]

Ricordo di Pat un' estate al Estival a Lugano. Grande performance, magari non del tutto capita dal pubblico e invitato a fare un bis con una canzone nota alzava il terzo dito al pubblico. Che GRAN BEL RICORDO di un professionista. Non ho più acquistato un suo disco.

[@AndersonSouza-tr8gl]

Pena que cortou o finalzinho.... a platéia (super educada) deixa o último acorde soar até o fim e depois explode em aplausos.....maravilhoso!

[@michaelvaladez6570]

I saw him do this and I didn't recognize the song let alone realized it was a Baritone guitars..the bass was so pronounced, " Where's the bass coming from ?". Years later I found out both ...very nice.

[@dtzero0]

Wow! More touching than the original!

[@MarcoBarbato]

Amazing! I couldn't recognize it but after two or three listenings... very different, Pat did twist it in a weird way... but paying attention around 1:50 you can hear the theme quite clearly

[@dagrote1]

Reminds me of Pierre Bensusan live. He never plays the same tune, but he recreates it. It's really astonishing.

[@hiptrip99]

The quiet audience listens carefully. It looks like live in Japan.

[@crescentsi]

Essentially, a lesson in how to retune your guitar, the chords and inflections that Metheny teases out of this simple piece are full of poignancy and conflicting emotion. The melody is the same as the first version (see "Still Life (Talking)" it is the harmonies (chords) that alter and contrast so profoundly with the original. Metheny alters the bass note frequently and this further emphasizes the context of melody, adding to the textural and harmonic quality of the acoustic version. These are well known techniques found in many genres of music, however Metheny brings originality and potency to this interpretation of his own composition.

[@pattyray4841]

A pedantic comment, if ever there was one.

[@crescentsi]

@@pattyray4841 Well, Metheny's attention to detail is exact, comprehensive and subtle and his musical technique and invention highly impressive. I tried to do justice, in words, however briefly, to his complex and highly technical approach. Not forgetting his very talented co-composer and pianist, Lyle Mayes.
