... musician, and get to a point somewhere between
the Trio record and Room for Squares-and
that's a really good place to be."
While the Trio tour showcased Mayer's blazing
fretwork, he says he learned lessons from those
shows about restraint. "When I made my first
record, there was no trust in space because it was
all me; everything was just on those six strings," he
says. "With Steve and Pino it was all about space,
using a whole different palette. When your tone is
good on the guitar, you need, like, four notes. The
more concise and right you have it, the less you
need around it." One listen to such spare, carefully
crafted songs as "Slow Dancing in a Burning
Room" or "I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)"
instantly reveals this new approach.
Mayer points to one song in particular as
the turning point for Continuum. "I wrote 'Gravity'
last summer, and it changed everything," he
says. "You talk less when you trust that people
understand you. 'Gravity' had to be sparse. And
when I listened to it for the first time, holding
back, it was a whole new game. That might be
the most important song I ever wrote."
Armed with this outlook, Mayer knew
Continuum would tackle larger ideas than
those that defined his previous albums. "A big
challenge was writing about big themes," he
says. "I'm not a better writer in terms of sitting
down in front of a pad, but I'm better in terms
of receiving inspiration and converting it into
something 'real' quicker. I'm better equipped to
deal with those moments."
The hard-hitting "Belief" tackles an
infinitely complex subject. Over a slinky,
hypnotic guitar groove, he sings, "We're never
gonna win the world, we're never gonna stop
the warlWe're never gonna beat this if belief is
what we're fighting for," questioning the power
and the limitations of faith and convictions.
"It's an intellectuallandmine-how do you
write a song about what people believe without
impugning their belie s?" he asks. I wanted
to get right next to people's beliefs and look at
them without threatening them. It's tricky. You
only get x number of syllables and you have to
write something you can defend."
With "Waiting on the World to Change,"
Mayer shot for something even more ambitious something
like an attempt to explain his
generation's attitudes about politics. "It's
meant to shed a little light on inactivity and
inaction," he says, "because I don't believe that
inaction is a lack of interest. I think inaction is
preservation-nobody wants to get involved in a
debate in which the rules and facts will change
so that they'll lose. So we end up with this other
option, which is, I guess we'll just have to wait
for things to get better.
Continuum also includes the first cover
Mayer has put on an album, his version of "Bold
As Love" by the incomparable Jimi Hendrix. "To
me, it's the quintessential Jimi Hendrix song,"
says Mayer. "The sensitivity, the imagery, the
power. I also think the third record is the time
when you challenge everybody. It's your throwdown.
Ilike inviting the challenge of, Should
this guy even touch Hendrix's music? To which I
answer, Well, everybody should. Why not?"
Ultimately, Continuum represents maturity,
both musically and thematically, for John
Mayer-a concept that he wasn't comfortable
with until now. "A lot of these songs are about
coming to terms with getting older," he says.
"My generation was never told we were going to
get older. We thought we were going to hear our
names on Romper Room for the rest of our lives.
For a long time, I was really upset about getting
older, worried that things were just going to level
out. But then I realized that everyone around me
was getting older at the same time. We're all
fighting it together, and we're always going to
be those kids, the first really emotionally aware
generation. When I realized that, I could relax
about it a little bit. And I thought that maybe I
can be the guy to sing about it.

50 YEARS OF THE GIBSON LES PAUL, Half a Century of the Greatest Electric Guitars. Tony Bacon. 160 pagine.

LIBRO ILLUSTRATO

Series: Book
Publisher: Backbeat Books
Medium: Softcover
Author: Tony Bacon

This exciting book documents the complete decade-by-decade story of one of the world's most important and influential electric guitars. The Gibson Les Paul turned 50 years old in 2002, and since its invention, its sweet, urgent sound has been used by a host of major rock players - from Eric Clapton in Cream to Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols, from Joe Walsh in The Eagles to Slash of Guns N'Roses. Unique color photographs feature a multitude of luscious Les Paul models and highlight great players in action with their Les Paul guitars. Meticulous listings for the collector document every model produced from 1952 to the present day. 50 Years of the Gibson Les Paul is a beautiful, detailed examination of six decades of great guitars and the fine musicians inspired to play them. 160 pages.

FIFTY YEARS OF THE GIBSON LES PAUL

Les Paul created on record a magical orchestra of massed guitars playing catchy instrumental tunes, and his first multi-guitar single was a big hit.

Les Paul is not just the name on a guitar headstock. The man himself was born Lester William Polfus in Waukesha, Wisconsin, in the mid 1910s, and started professional life as a talented, teenage guitarist. By age 17 he was broadcasting on local radio stations, playing country as Rhubarb Red and adding jazz to his expanding repertoire. The kid had an apparently natural technical ability, which he applied to music as well as to making his own bits and pieces of instrumental and electrical gadgetry. Like a number of performers in the 1930s, the young Lester soon became interested in amplifying his guitar. He recalled later that in his early teens he'd managed to create a pickup out of a telephone mouthpiece and an amplifier from his parents' radio, allowing him to bring his guitar to the attention of the audience at a local roadhouse gig. Around this time companies such as Rickenbacker, National and others began to sell the first commercial electric guitars, instruments with electric pickups and controls built into regular archtop acoustic guitars. By the middle of the 1930s the Gibson company had got into this market with an "Electric Spanish" guitar and amplifier, as had their biggest competitor, Epiphone of New York City. Meanwhile, Lester Polfus had permanently adopted a suitably shortened version of his name - Les Paul - and for three years from 1938 led a jazz-based trio broadcasting out of New York on the Fred Waring show. It was at this time that he moved from an acoustic archtop model to one of Gibson's first electric guitars, the ES-300. Later he would visit the empty Epiphone factory at weekends to experiment with an instrument he called his "log". The nickname came from a four-by-four solid block of pine that he inserted between the sawn halves of a dismembered Epiphone body, with a Gibson neck and Larson Bros fingerboard, adding his own vibrato and pickups. He didn't play this one much - it was more of a testbed. A little later Paul modified a second and third Epiphone, which he named his "clunkers", and he and vocal/guitar partner Mary Ford would use these semi-solid guitars regularly on stage and in recording studios through the early 1950s. Other explorations into solidbody electric guitars were being made elsewhere in America at this time, not least by Rickenbacker, National, Bigsby and Fender, all in California. A solidbody electric was appealing to manufacturers because it would be easier to construct than an acoustic guitar, using a body or body-section made of solid wood to support the strings and pickups. For the player, it would cut down the annoying feedback produced by amplified acoustic guitars. A solidbody guitar reduced the effect that the body had on the instrument's overall tone – something that players of electric hollowbody guitars criticise - but the solid body had the benefit of more accurately reproducing and sustaining the sound of the strings. Paul knew that Gibson was the biggest in the guitar business in the 1940s. After all, he'd appeared in the company's catalogues and ads as a famous player, both as Rhubarb Red and as Les Paul, and he'd played various Gibson guitars, including L-50, L-5 and Super 400 models (all acoustics) and that electric ES-300. So now he decided to try to interest them in his "log". Gibson was big, and ...
