Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.41,0:01:54.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I said well I started out on this
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.24,0:01:56.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,little plastic, he said, "You didn't have
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.19,0:01:57.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one of those." I said, "Yeah."
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.65,0:01:59.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he started at the same time as me
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.44,0:02:01.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about the same age, on this plastic thing
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.46,0:02:02.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it had a clamp that went
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.80,0:02:04.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the fingerboard and you pressed
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.50,0:02:06.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the buttons and it kinda found the chords.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.52,0:02:08.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Oh Wow!- I never could figure that out
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.35,0:02:09.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That was my first introduction
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.78,0:02:11.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to a stringed instrument.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.21,0:02:13.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then I got my first guitar when I was
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.30,0:02:14.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,twelve, which was basically an
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.79,0:02:16.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,archtop jazz guitar, it had an action that
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.79,0:02:19.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,high, you know what they were like.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.75,0:02:21.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then I was exposed to the music
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.50,0:02:23.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the day, which at that time would be
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.42,0:02:26.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,skiffle, and the big thing for me was
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.14,0:02:30.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hank Marvin, as it was for thousands
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.20,0:02:31.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of guitar players during that time,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.98,0:02:33.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know? Hank was the first british
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.88,0:02:35.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,guitar hero, so I was into the shadows
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.98,0:02:38.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,big time and I wanted to be able to play
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.46,0:02:40.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the guitar like Hank, and one day own one
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.78,0:02:42.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of those red electric guitars, I never
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.90,0:02:45.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,did in the end, and I'd actually even
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.46,0:02:48.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,try and sing, and I'd get my hair
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.14,0:02:50.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just like this, all these years on
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.89,0:02:53.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,viewers can't you see the resemblance?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.23,0:02:56.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's how it started
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.26,0:02:58.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And were you getting lessons or were
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.00,0:03:00.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you learning from books or- entirely self
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.10,0:03:01.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,taught- this is pre-internet vibe-
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.80,0:03:03.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,totally yeah totally. Everything I've
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.62,0:03:05.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ever learned has been self-taught
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.32,0:03:07.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's not a bad thing, although
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.09,0:03:09.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of course, I've virtually learned to play
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.81,0:03:12.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the guitar incorrectly, I use,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.46,0:03:14.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm actually using one of your picks today
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.50,0:03:17.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by the way -right- great sounding pick
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.72,0:03:19.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I started out as a plectrum
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.28,0:03:21.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,player when I got into playing acoustic
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.16,0:03:22.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,guitar, and I figured out well,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.66,0:03:24.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how do I play two notes at the same time?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.91,0:03:26.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well I'll bring in another finger to do
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.79,0:03:27.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.64,0:03:29.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I use my little finger, and that's the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.90,0:03:32.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,way my style has remained, it hasn't
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.18,0:03:34.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,changed. What this technique gives me
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.30,0:03:36.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of course, like anybody that picks and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.19,0:03:38.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uses the fingers as well is you can go
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.45,0:03:41.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from picking to strumming instantly,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.07,0:03:43.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you can go from very filigree stuff
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.36,0:03:45.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to chord in playing as we did during that
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.86,0:03:47.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lovely little jam together.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.58,0:03:49.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How do you go about getting more than two
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.96,0:03:52.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,notes with you just using the pick and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.10,0:03:53.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the little finger? Like particularly,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.95,0:03:55.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,jazz riffs are often the bass note and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.76,0:03:57.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,three fingers playing, do you strum as
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.64,0:03:59.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,well with the little finger?- No I just
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.72,0:04:01.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don't I don't think. You just don't do it?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.74,0:04:03.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't know, I think about it, you know,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.74,0:04:05.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because my career has been based
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.80,0:04:08.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on my compositions, and I've often thought
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.27,0:04:10.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,God I'd be such a better player if I
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.32,0:04:12.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,played properly and used more fingers, but
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.37,0:04:14.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's never kind of worked that way,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.18,0:04:16.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and nobody's ever said, "there's a
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.37,0:04:18.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,deficiency there." I think it probably
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.19,0:04:20.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gives you your own unique flavor - it's
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.06,0:04:21.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,given me, yeah- like James Taylor plays
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.92,0:04:23.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with all funny, he plays all of these
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.83,0:04:25.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,chords upside down to the way we would
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.69,0:04:27.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,play it - and I played- and, as much as
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.62,0:04:29.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'd say it was wrong if he came for a
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.54,0:04:32.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lesson, he's James Taylor- and he sounds
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.11,0:04:34.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,great - yeah absolutely- Oh God yeah
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.26,0:04:36.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know I had a jam session with him
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.26,0:04:38.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,years ago? - Wow- Yeah you won't remember
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.24,0:04:40.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it's a long story, but I won't bore
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.38,0:04:42.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you with that, but it's a great story
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.47,0:04:44.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but yeah, so I suppose the bottom line
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.34,0:04:46.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that if it sounds right it is right
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.19,0:04:47.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,-yeah- you know and if it works
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.80,0:04:49.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and there have been times, I even went
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.65,0:04:51.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for classical lessons for a short time
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.57,0:04:54.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, I thought, "this is crazy
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.28,0:04:56.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because you know, this is my sound, you
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.88,0:04:59.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know by sheer accident I've created the
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.06,0:05:01.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Gordon Giltrap sound, and people hear me
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.77,0:05:03.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they go "Oh, I can tell it's you
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.55,0:05:05.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,straight away" it's that sound, it's an
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.57,0:05:08.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,approach to playing and the little riffs
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.78,0:05:11.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and because of the deficiency in the left
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.56,0:05:13.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hand, I do a lot of hammering and the
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.98,0:05:16.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pulling off with the right hand
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.03,0:05:17.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and do a lot with the left hand
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.56,0:05:19.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,obviously you know, so that kinda makes up
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.57,0:05:21.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for that. -so instead of having to try an
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.69,0:05:23.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,alternate pick style - yeah exactly
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.44,0:05:25.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hence the reason why I have a very low
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.34,0:05:27.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,action on the guitar, I relatively like
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.70,0:05:29.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,8-strings, so it speaks a lot quicker
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.23,0:05:32.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,okay, and you do quite a bit of teaching
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.54,0:05:34.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as well, what do you find the things that
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.52,0:05:36.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you teach most commonly, the most common
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.96,0:05:39.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mistakes you see in your students?- The
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.43,0:05:40.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,most common mistakes?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.73,0:05:42.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, they're probably not really
Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.44,0:05:45.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mistakes, I think that what I try to do is
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.90,0:05:48.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instill in them their own sound, you know
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.31,0:05:50.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and get them to be creative
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.09,0:05:53.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's all very well, a lot of the people
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.06,0:05:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that come to me are aware of my material
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.00,0:05:57.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's what I teach, but then they go,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.08,0:05:59.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Well I was trying this the other day and
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.08,0:06:00.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually I got this thing going and I
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.89,0:06:02.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,wrote something with it." And I go
Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.51,0:06:04.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"That's great! That's what it's all about"
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.54,0:06:06.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not learning to play parrot fashion,
