We're recording the good doctor right now in the studio. Extremely nice fellow, and as has been stated here already a seriously talented songwriter and musician. The previous recordings we made with him was in Aug 2009.
I'm hoping he stops in with us every time he's on the west-coast of Canada.

@japa1990 of course he can play over chord changes and stuff , just check his hellington band and other recordings, he can play monk tunes and charlie parker really good

@japa1990 you obviously know little about EC or the world of improvisation. COme out of your self imposed bubble.

Eugene is a wonderfully brilliant madman. I had the pleasure to play with him a couple years ago and I'll never forget it. He is amazing and is absolutely in the Yoda class of improvisors. I love what he does.
This guy is a musical genius.

@aocidicoa I think the word genius is over used these days, but Eugene definitely qualifies. His stuff from 20 years ago is still ahead of it's time!

can someone tell me what tuning he uses?

The guy is CONSTANTLY retuning on the fly, so I'll bet he uses a variety.

One thing that I learned hanging out/playing with/listening to Eugene Chadbourne is that he's a classic troubadorian, story-telling, entertainer. Anyone can appreciate his music unless you are a snob, then maybe you'll dig some stuff...

There's a good-sized "mad scientist" streak in him, too. Personally, I think Phil Ochs, Ben Franklin and Spike Jones' DNA were combined in a laboratory to form a baby that was then shown horror movies for 20 years and then given guitar lessons.
