Wayne Krantz - Six

Wayne Krantz performs Six at the studios of Manifold Recording in Pittsboro NC. And it's true...if you look for it, you can find music in anything.

[@fiddlefolk]

Ladies and gentleman, may i present, the Philadelphia bad ass- Mr. Anthony Jackson! Bass legend......!

[@JeffreySykes]

He was great. I thoroughly enjoyed watching him up close.

[@darkbluebossa]

Was? He is still alive! :)

[@estudiothevillage5837]

Philadelphia ?

[@The_Kevinist]

I’ve been coming back countless times and for whatever fucking reasons, i noticed for the first time when i saw him chilling on the chair when Wayne is getting started Then i went: hey wait a sec... that’s Anthony Jackson!

[@chegadesuade]

Saw him live with Hiromi, he really is a bass legend, he can keep up with anybody!

[@JeffreySykes]

I was there. It was freezing outside, but this was the best money I think I've ever spent to see live music. I'm a Wayne fanatic, but getting to watch Keith and Anthony that close up was awesome.

[@fabsquil]

Wayne Krantz will remain as one of the greatest guitarists. I wonder if everybody realises that he fucking plays guitar, but has develop a real concept. His sound is unique, and that is rare....

[@BullToTheShit]

> *I wonder if everybody realises that he fucking plays guitar* I only discovered him a few days ago.

[@LukeDallert]

He is REALLY one of the most underrated players.

Anthony Jackson's tone... MY LORD.

[@mosesramirez6330]

It's like buttah.

[@damovanb]

Wayne's best trio IMO, Carlock is monster, bassist responds immediately with best accompaniment. this stuff ain't written out....

[@timcardona9962]

Wayne cited Anthony Jackson as a *major* influence on his playing so its no surprise they are a perfect fit. I agree, best trio

[@rawdonwaller]

Thank you video recording person. The sound is as good as being there

[@Miraverse]

Engineered by Ian Schreier. Thanks!

[@mauriciodelgadosanchez1105]

I'm from Costa Rica. Hi! just passing by to tell you congratulations for this wonderful work. i'm hearing this recording and it is simply amazing.

[@daviddlarkin]

The musicianship is top notch, but the first thing I really noticed was the sound mix. The drum sound is transcendent, allowing the playing to shine. The bass also--excellent live recording.

[@Miraverse]

Dave Larkin wayne is doing another recorded performance next week (oct 19th). Check out miraverse.com for link to Eventbrite tickets. Come to the studio and see how its done!

[@daviddlarkin]

I'm a bit far away, but I do have Wayne visiting our humble town October 26th which I'm planning on attending... :-)

[@ethanhoneywell]

The modulation is hearing 5/8 overtop of your 4/8 (or 10/8 over your 8/8 (4/4)) and then using that as your knew system of eighth notes of 3/4. These guys have got it down.

[@mywaveinwoodswoodperfumes]

The bass is just massive caterpillar machine

[@catboyzee]

This truly is 'Wayne's World'; we're all just living in it. Love this guy's playing. That he regularly enlists AJ in his sonic feast is like extra sauce for the meal...

[@Slears]

damn another Guitar Monster I stumbled across by accident..what a find..holy ..

[@Prairie7777]

+Slears Yeah me too! I googled "Jazz Guitarists" and you wouldn't believe what came up. Tons to choose from. Norman Brown was my initial search but DAMN.

[@shoujiazhang3691]

Chemistry of this trio is sooo damn good, I want to scream

[@westdusseldorf2852]

Never heard this drummer before but he is insane

[@richardevans2709]

Keith Carlock. Steely Dan drummer.

[@irena7777777]

He’s brilliant. One of my favourite drummers

[@edwardgervasi6311]

CARLOCK IS OFF THE CHART

[@theonapoloni]

I know Wayne from Keith actually, quite the opposite! Modern Drummer performance Together they have an amazing chemistry

[@BlackRootsUNLIMITED]

Me neither, till today 🔥

[@Buppier]

At the beginning I thought maybe he was using a 'looper' till I figured it was really all him, with some delay and verb. Wonderful guitar work, terrific ensemble, great tune.

[@slick51]

Pittsboro, NC...home of Carr Amps. There's a certain perverse justice in a guy playing a $35,000 bass in a town of only 4,000.

[@PaavoLammikko]

Ben Holbrook How? I don’t understand the connection.

[@edwardcabras]

@@PaavoLammikko I just take it to mean that its funny and interesting how the universe works.

[@veeshead]

Yeah, usually the rule is that the bass shouldn’t cost more than a dollar X the population of the town. In this case, the bass can only be $4,000.

[@adamboof6769]

Wayne really is the best guitarist i have ever seen. He is so insanely good.

[@hearpalhere]

This is cool as heck! I'm new to Wayne Krantz, just saw him on a Berklee panel with Mike & Leni Stern and was intrigued by what he had to say. I'm glad to have discovered him, he's really good. The band here is also amazing, they are killing it! Thank you for posting this!

[@bak1386]

Cast a magical spell on a metronome to bring it life , infuse it with groove and you have Carlock.

[@stone9.098]

Talk about an "Ultimate Rhythm Section"-K. Carlock and A. Jackson...proven, total badasses!!! Keith and Wayne have performed together for a long time with Tim Lefavbe on bass, so it's pretty darn awesome to see Anthony playing bass here.

[@netzah3488]

Krantz, Carlock, Jackson= Massive 'thrice' Respect

[@jellofarce]

Anyone so openly critical of this music should retreat to their basements, turn on their music of choice, and remain there until someone comes to get you! This is BRILLIANT, emotional, interpretive, supremely masterful musicianship!

[@Manifoldrecording]

[@Mrius86]

I actually talked to Wayne Krantz once at a workshop. We got to hear him practice and talk about how he practiced. It "inspiried" me to get my shit together as a guitarist.

[@shipper66]

+Mrius86 do say more. How can I practice ? I have no clue what to do, running scales and learning songs by tabs seem pointless.

[@Mrius86]

+shipper66 How much time do you have? What is your current playing level? Do you listen to the music that you really, really, really enjoy? This is so important that I am saying it once more: listen and play the music you like. This is very important for beginners and intermediate players. Here is an exercise that I have been using on a semi-daily basis for the last year or so: Start out by picking a tempo and a time signature, say 60 bpm 4/4. Let us just keep the subdivision to eight notes or sixteenth notes for this session. Triplet feel can come later. Then pick a formula, say 1b2b34. Then you would translate that into actual notes. Let us start in C, that produces the notes C,Db, Eb, and F. Then pick a zone on the guitar. This could be one single string, two adjacent strings, skipped strings like IxxIIx or xIxxIx. It can be the open position or any other position for that matter. For this time we will be choosing zone 8 on the guitar, that means frets 8, 9, 10 and 11. Don't let that stop you from trying out the other combos, though! One finger per fret on all the strings. Identify all the notes in the given formula. With the metronome ticking away, start playing and improvising. Play around with dynamics, articulation (slurs, hammer-on, pull-off, hard/soft). One note at a time. Always make sure that the time feel is clear and precise, that it lines up with the click. If you can't find the note you are looking for, just look for it, search for it. You have already identified the available notes in the given zone, so you know it's there somewhere. It doesn't matter how long it takes to find it. Just search it, find it, then move on. Find a recording device like your smart phone or computer. Something that can capture sound and reproduce it in a satisfying matter. It doesn't have to be super fancy. Take a solo, play and improvise like you did for one minute, two minutes or five minutes. Keep the solo short enough so you don't lose concentration or interest in your playing. Now listen to what you played and critique it. Find out what is working or not working and why it is so. Use the recording device as a mirror for your ears. If your playing sounds rambling or accidental, play one-bar phrases and take one-bar pauses. One bar playing, one bar pause, one bar playing, one bar pause, until you can clearly hear the structure and phrasing in your playing. Next, listen back to the recording and critique your playing. Be honest, but limit the critique to the restrictions set previously. Are you hitting the right notes? Do you want to show it to someone? Or would you rather delete it ASAP? Why? Question your playing, but don't take beat yourself up! Relax, there is plenty of time. Or maybe it sounds awesome. Or maybe the excersize is too easy. Change the zone. Change the tonality. Change the string set. Change the tempo. Change the mood or spirit of the music. Change one thing while the others stay the same. Identify weaknesses and strengths. Remember that failure to succeed does not mean failure to progress. Please send me a comment or message if you have any questions.

[@shipper66]

+Mrius86 Wooow man, thank you so much for this. This is exactly the kind of info I needed. I listen way to little, I almost don't listen to any music at all. I 've always had this conviction in my head, that I don't need to listen, that I can just create my own music and style and play whatever the hell I want. But the truth is, I can not play the sounds that I hear in my head, because I am still a beginner, I've been trapped in beginner to intermediate phase for many years, because all I ever did on my guitar is just noodling, I also learned a song here and there and of course forgot it latter, and that's it. I don't have any structure for learning. I am trying to learn the names of the notes now and scales. But I will try what you suggest and put all my effort into listening and trying to play the stuff that I like and also learn the scale degrees and find them on the neck. But this sounds so daunting :( Here is my soundcloud of a few "songs", mostly just gibberish and even that needs better rythm, I try to improvise, but I don't think that I am getting anywhere with it..stuck in the mud. So much to learn :=) soundcloud.com/blackskittles
