August 20, 2015 10:16 - 15 minutes - 15.1 MBRichard Thompson is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist who’s pretty hard to pin down, musically. As a founding member of Fairport Convention, Thompson was a leading figure of the 1960’s folk rock movement. His long-running duo with Linda Thompson produced one of the classics in the singer-songwriter genre: the tortured and world-weary Shoot Out the Lights, which was released in 1982, just as the couple’s marriage was imploding.

July 22, 2015 23:13 - 17 minutes - 16.3 MBBaden Powell was a composer, singer, and guitarist inextricably linked to the Bossa Nova craze of the 1960’s. If you’re at all familiar with Bossa Nova from the early 60’s, you’ll recognize what a radical departure Powell’s music was from the highly sophisticated stuff that was catching on in the U.S. around this time. We listen to “How Insensitive” from the beautiful 1967 collaboration between Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim, the patron saint of Bossa Nova. The poet, essayist, and pl...

June 03, 2015 14:09 - 1 hour - 56 MBPART 1: LATE TO THE PARTY Andres Segovia. Even the mention of his name elicits tones of hushed reverence in certain circles. But in the 70’s, there was a backlash against the style of playing that Segovia popularized. I began my guitar studies at a time when the guitar world was reassessing Segovia’s legacy. As a result, I was a latecomer to recognizing the genius of Andres Segovia. Recordings: David Russell, Capriccio Arabe by Fransisco Tárrega from Reflections of Spain “Ding Dong...
G2E Ep 004 Michael Hedges
May 26, 2015 19:11 - 51 minutes - 47.4 MBINTRO: THE INHERENT HEALTH RISKS OF PLAYING GUITAR A couple common themes have emerged with the four guitarists we’ve covered so far. First of all: being a world-renowned guitarist is, without question, bad for your health. Another lesson we can take away from Joe, Paco, and Frank is that good music rarely occurs in a vacuum. What is often considered innovation is usually an artful synthesis of musical influences. Michael Hedges’ 1981 Windham Hill release Breakfast in the Field was a landma...
G2E Ep 003 Frank Zappa
May 19, 2015 14:22 - 1 hour - 58.9 MBINTRO A quick warning: today’s episode contains profanity and adult content. Sensitive listeners may want to skip ahead to next week’s discussion of Michael Hedges. Also, I’ve changed some names around so that the people that acted like jerks in my story can continue doing so in relative anonymity. Recordings: Matthew Cochran, “Cicadas at the Equinox” from Vapor Trail from a Paper Plane PART ONE: ZAPPA IN THE SCIENCE LAB I talk about an incident with a high school science teacher o...

INTRO A reminder to G2E listeners to subscribe to the show on iTunes, Stitcher, or RSS feed, and to check us out on Facebook and Twitter. Recordings: Matthew Coch...
G2E Ep 001: JoePass
April 21, 2015 22:22 - 57 minutes - 53.4 MBGoes2Eleven starts its run with a tribute to the jazz giant Joe Pass (1929-1994). We take a look at the guitarist’s early years in Johnstown, PA, his struggles with addiction throughout the 50’s, and his ascent to stardom through legendary collaborations with Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Peterson, and his final years as a peerless solo guitar virtuoso.
