Ain’t It Nice To Be Loved: Remembering Lefty DizzExcuse the following bit of self-adulation but I’m setting something up here. When I was in LA a mate commented on my guitar playing as follows. You play out of tune but somehow you make it sound good. I assure you that it wasn’t damning via faint praise. It was the atonal blues experiment vindicated! There was also some cultural differences happening as well. My mate was German with a heritage of viewing music through notions of equal tempered scales. Me, a wild colonial boy seduced by the blues favoured the notes falling through the cracks and scattering ambiguity. I used to tease my friend Red by playing blues solos where I would deliberately avoid the tonic by playing cascades of non-resolution which would drive him around the bend. But my descriptions of torturing of sensitive European ears are to show that concepts of what sounds good is not confined to the strict measure of A equalling 440hz. Which brings us to Lefty Dizz. |
