[kohisiyo]

学者的風貌のMarc Ribot'Eg)が破壊的に弾きまくります,Aaaaaaaa­mazing !!

この♪はﾌﾟﾛｸﾞﾚｱﾊﾞﾝｷﾞｬﾙﾄﾞｼﾞｬｽﾞと命名しま­しょう!

Thank you so much for this upload !!

[Simkim666]

It's interesting how most of these great musicians are at their absolute peaks when playing with Zorn, or more precisely Zorn's repertoire. I got to see Marc Ribot live a few months ago and although it was a good concert and he's a very skilled guitar player, it didn't have the impact on me as he does by playing Zorn's stuff. I mean, not even close.

Zorn is an absolute genious and Electric Masada is without a doubt one of his most astonishing ensembles.

[minimalizam006]

John Zorn's face expression looks like he is in

pain 'cause of the EPICNESS OF HIS MUSIC!!!

[twwwhitney]

That was probably one of the greatest things I have ever or will ever listen to. wow.

[qishmish]

i like how Marc looks at Zorn :)

and also how Zorn looks while Ribot is playing

rofl

[sauva4]

this is fucking amazing. thanks for the uploading...

[IdeasFecales]

Min. 3:10 Epic 

[SupaGlitch]

Ribot is playing with my guts...

Watched this video for years and I just cant get over it. If something can be better than that, please let me know...

[CodyRicheson]

Been a John Zorn fan for years. Now I'm a Marc Ribot fan, too.

[pengefikseret]

Marc Ribots solo is really building up in intensity and speed, into a wild climax!!

[Fluffyfluffyhead]

Ribot kills it again!

[todshelton]

These guys are just soooo fucking good... I can't even comprehend how musicians can be that good and a composer such as zorn can be that creative. Just wow.

[xdeathssonx]

ever

[xdeathssonx]

i saw electric masada in minneapolis.....best show ive seen.

[rogo2043]

1 person is an utter bellend.

[frizzzzzzal]

this guy would be fun to see on acid

[parhhesia]

That was delicious

[lobzunpreston]

anyone know what scale the guitarist using to improvise on?

[deathofrats2000]

This, along with most of the Masada songbooks, is built around the fifth mode of harmonic minor, probably the most commonly used 'Hebrew' type scale.

[Pleepleus]

If this band played every night, I would go see them each and every damn night and never get tired of it.

[jhbdfbksdhgfjldsnglg]

well,could be suggestive as background music for some movie ,maby a scene on bordello with a bit of the usual violence would fit.

Otherwise it´s a onechord song wiyt quite guessable soloparts. and that often is not enough for me.

But rather this than 87% of the comercial rubbish.

It has feel to it.

But

[theo9952]

i think there is much more to an inspired musical composition than cord complexity, which is not always necessary or desirable (think of Ravel's BOLERO). I find Zorn's music very unique sounding even if the soloparts are somehow predictable.

[1jazzsoul]

Modal music worked OK for Miles Davis. c.f. "Kind of Blue".

[maidoodesu]

Part 1 is very good, too...

[FrancescoT]

Marc Ribot owns...

[dickiecheese]

Amazing

[b345tyb345t]

Thats art.

[wharfratt82]

Ribot takes it to the desert and then melts your face off..so nasty but yet so tasty

[1zivile]

Gee, I feel like I could listen to this 24 hours a day...

[blackfire5432112]

man seriously Ribots such a wicked guitarist

[theo9952]

he's even more wicked sounding in this video, because he is playing  a baritone electric guitar.

[theo9952]

yes, you could be right. but his tone is quite low and it looks like he's got baritone strings on that guitar, even if it's a standard electric. a definately baritone electric guitar sound. maybe somebody else will know for sure.

[motus]

actually it's a gibson melody maker, I don't know why I mixed the two up.. there's no baritone melody maker , there's a shorter scale version though.

[deathofrats2000]

His strings look no thicker than any normal medium gauge guitar string. I quick test on my guitar demonstrated that everything he plays is naturally within the range of a normally strung guitar.

[theo9952]

@deathofrats2000

yes it may be so, i thought the strings look much thicker than normal but i can't tell for certain, with such low image analysis but how about the positions of scales and cords ? are they were  they should be ?i've recently heard that he downtunes his guitar to get this tone.

[deathofrats2000]

Yes, well, a point of clarification then. Downtuning a halfstep is a very common way to adjust the tone and the 'feel' of the strings a you play them. That is not the same as a Baritone guitar tuning. Baritone guitars are tuned a fourth lower (or even sometimes a fifth lower) than the standard tuning (a fourth is five half steps). Since it's that much lower, playing Baritone pretty much requires a longer scale guitar.

[deathofrats2000]

Everything he plays (even all the stuff in the low frets of the low e string) can be played in standard tuning. He may be downtuned a half step, but I'm not sure I would say that isn't a 'standard' tuning, given how common it is. Either way, it is without a doubt not a baritone guitar.

[qzth]

@theo9952, I saw him some days ago with his free jazz trio, and he used 012s on his gibson semiacoustic, that shure is a part of his big sound...

hope I helped you

[theo9952]

@qzth thanks. I 've also read that he downtunes his guitar, hence his

''baritone'' sound.

[thenazcalines]

@theo9952 Almost sure that he's in standard tuning here: by watching Jamie Saft's solo, you can tell they're in F, and there's a moment in Ribot's solo during which he plays a low root note (i.e. F) and you can see that he's fingering his lowest string at the first fret. Something to do with his hands, maybe, cos I agree: he makes a guitar sound huuuuge

[leojisepic]

EPIC

[MMRD50]

Thank you, poophat!

[shohreh24]

after finding them,finally i feel that i'm in peace:) this is the type of music i was searching for years.

[tennickbylwolny]

You wish it was that easy ;) After finding them you will have to dig through hundreds of Zorn's albums to find your first one (after Zornfest in Warsaw yesterday I'm exactly on this stage). Or just pick the random one and start connecting with Zorn's genius right now ;)

[number1saxophone]

Wrong, you were looking for my band's music. Live with it.

[ospididious]

That's the beautiful thing about great music, you can get high just listening to it...

[noodle1998]

eww that sucks what the heck?

[omrx120]

I think the Ribot´s guitar is an Ibanez, it looks like an AX120, like the Omar Rodríguez-López model. Somebody can help me? Someone say is a "fender something III".

[camenbertelectrique]

It's a Gibson melody maker

[boogster123321]

that thing is a gibson melody maker, vintage

and ribot doesnt play ibanez but like those guitar (omars)

[trojanlol]

yeah I was thinking in a Fender lead III but it's not the case, definitly a melody maker ;)

[trojanlol]

does someone knows what is the Ribot's guitar ? is it a "fender something III" ? I don't remember the name. Here he sounds really good, love this guy, especially with zorn :)

[boogster123321]

youre thinking of his stratatone. if not sure if thats made by fender.

[pgonzo98]

the drummer is kenny wolleson from bill frisell fame.

[danielhl22]

who is the drummer??

[elguitaro]

"Hi, my name is Marc Ribot, and I am the greatest."

[murcos]

@elguitaro your best piece was "SHUT THE FUCK UP" at Cornelia street cafe last year.

[leisureb]

VET AWSOME

[ZachRhea]

Marc and Jamie's solos on this song are just perfect.

[scaltek]

Exellent !!

[lunaticocacho]

Una de las mejores guitarras que he escuchado en mi vida. Ribot Rocks!!!!

[myNislaVus]

avesome!!!! zajebiaszcze

[paulsmith132]

orgasmic.

[chroustjazz]

absolutně fantastické! 8¨-)

[Saxmadness]

THE BEST BAND ON EARTH!!!!

[highinoneeye]

Zorn. sigh. no word can describe the awesome.

[shotgunjoe]

I've heard from quite a few people that he is a bit of a prick, but you can't help being taken in completely by his genius.

[drubicle]

ribot's playing is incredible. He is good at slowly building until it insanely climaxes. Probably one of the most emotional/intuitive guitar players I've seen

[UncleC69]

I'd have to say that without a doubt in my mind, that ribot is the most TASTEFUL guitarist I've ever heard, and probably instrumentalist, Electric Masada's recordings all exhibit this fact.

[prasiddha]

Who's that on guitar? Firth? Frisell?

[jimmyskins]

I'm almost certain that's Marc Ribot on guitar. Very cool...

[shotgunjoe]

It is Ribot.

[vickvaporu]

its him! no one can play with that smooth and feeling! just himm!

[takauya]

ribohggffhhhhhhg!!"!!!!!!!

[frietmayo]

mental orgasm....

[gregfr75]

Quel nom de dieu de bon groupe. Et Ribot qui nous balance un truc sans épate, juste ce qu'il faut mais pleinement vécu et donné. Ce type me plait.

[Lateralenima]

Zorn is a completelly, fucking genius.

[shotgunjoe]

o hai this site is totally gr8 prz

[chitsevermag301]

Zorn...great

[jnld5]

haha. The post below me, your site I'm sure isn't good for Zorn. hahaha. This is unbelieveable music and that is RARE , unfortunately.

[Grillmouth]

wow, awesome.

such 'minamilist' compositional ideas yet incredibley 'effective'.

absolutley amazing music/musicians.

[pigshavebeards]

*its

[pigshavebeards]

Improvisation at it's very best! :)

[takauya]

Is this guitarist Marc Ribot?

[bassboner]

yes, it is marc ribot

[motus]

gibson melody maker

[chardman1]

What the hell kind of guitar is Ribot playing!?

Weird.

Thanks for posting this!

[polmoldol]

just great!!!

[zlol56]

So. Awesome.

Many thanks, submitter. It's too good for us puny humans.

[0ddity]

Its fucking genius thats what it is. I love it.

[pigshavebeards]

I feel the exact same way voxefex....

[voxefex]

Holy Jesus was it as good for me as it was for you?

[wrnqzx]

Beautiful.

I don't consider this risky music, just very solid and reliable jazz of the highest caliber.

I wish these videos wouldn't end so abruptly. Just a couple of seconds' fade out would help.

[AlamoCityCello]

Good to see musicians taking RISKS!

Great Job!!

[Incongruent]

One word for you poophat. And that word is word.
