  • Why does everybody feel the need to debate, argue, insult and attack other poeple they've never even met over video comments?? It's so hilarious to me. Who CARES what other people think!? Do you dig Nels? Great! Don't like Nels? Great! Just get on with your life! Haha...whatever...

  • I find most of these comments about Nels Cline unnecessary. Nels is a very accomplished guitarist. His mastery of technique and harmony is unparalleled.

    I produced a recording with Nels in 1989, just as he was transitioning into his current style. From what I recall, he was tired of people trying to compare or contrast him with Ralph Towner, John Abercrombie, and so on and focus on finding his own true voice no longer tied to virtuosity in the "accepted" sense. I'd say he reached his goal...

  • Nels is one of my favorite guitarists period. Live he is pure Mojo and such a profound experimenter of guitar based soundscapes. A complete treat anytime.

  • Nels is the ANTI guitar hero: anti-shred, anti-virtuoso. He CAN shred, but when he does, its not like anything or anyone else. Probably one of the few true avant garde guitarists out there; I suppose if you are looking for some kind of label maybe you might say 'Fripp with balls on acid ', although this still falls far short.

  • Nels is a portal to unhindered creativity. When you watch/listen to him you feel as if you're experiencing a song as it's being written right at that moment. Pure flow.

  • @capmkrob This should be required reading before anyone is allowed to create a Youtube account. It should be required curriculum from 1st grade on!

  • If we ever come in contact with aliens, Nels Cline should be our translator

  • Seeing The Nels Cline Singers at The Paramount Theater in Charlottesville is still one of the most awe inspiring performances I have ever attended . . . even had the chance to meet Nels and the band at soundcheck before the show. Great group of guys and musicians. And Devon Hoff is sick on bass. Sick!

  • Where is this Nels Cline is the devil shit coming from?

  • mind blasting!!!

  • i think its a toy micrphone hes using

  • ANYbody have ANY idea what kind of a gizmo he is using on the guitar at the beginning of this pc.? Sounds like he is singing or vocalizing into something that is being amplified by the guitar.s Pick-ups..but beyond that...I have no idea..
