	Pat Metheny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Metheny's next album formalized this partnership and began the Pat Metheny Group, featuring several songs co-written with Mays; the album was released as the self-titled Pat Metheny Group on the ECM record label.
		Pat Martino had used the electric twelve-string guitar on a studio album, Desperado, and John McLaughlin had famously used a double-neck electric guitar with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, but Metheny was a significant user of the twelve-string electric in jazz.
		Metheny's tone, which has evolved over the years, involves using the natural full-frequency response of his hollow-body guitar, combined with high-midrange settings on his amplifier to create a smooth, sustaining lead sound that is virtually devoid of piercing treble yet is able to cut through a dense mix.

		It's hard to think of Pat Metheny as entering middle age, but the boy wonder of jazz guitar -- and easily the most popular jazz guitarist alive -- is now 45, and for the first time ever he finds himself the senior member of a trio that he's leading.
		Metheny composes sweet, pastoral film scores, like the one for the recent A Map of the World, and has fashioned lyrical duet albums with Hall and Charlie Haden, but is also capable of the solo guitar skronk-fest Zero Tolerance for Silence (Geffen, 1994) and his touchstone 1985 recording with Coleman, Song X (Geffen).
		Metheny compares Bill Stewart's double-edged style to the mix of funk and jazz that Billy Higgins created on Lee Morgan's soul-jazz prototype "The Sidewinder." Stewart's abilities encouraged Metheny to try John Coltrane's classic "Giant Steps," a tune that's usually taken at breakneck speed, with the current trio.

		Metheny has also been one of the few jazz artists to make regular appearances in the pop album charts, such is the accessibility of his music.
		Metheny continued into the 90s with Secret Story, an album of breathtaking beauty featuring gems such as "Above The Treetops" and the poignant "The Truth Will Always Be".
		Metheny is able to comfortably move between pure jazz and the pop jazz that made his name.

	Pat Metheny Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The core members of the group are guitarist and bandleader Pat Metheny, composer, keyboardist and pianist Lyle Mays (who was part of the group's inception in 1977), and bassist and producer Steve Rodby (joined in 1980).
		Metheny's follow-up album formalized the relationship, and featured several songs co-written with Mays; the album was released as the self-titled Pat Metheny Group on the ECM label.
		Metheny has said [2] that one of the inspirations for the labyrinthine piece was a reaction against a perceived trend for music requiring a short attention span and which lacks nuance and detail.

		Over the course of his career, jazz-guitar god Pat Metheny has alternated between his Pat Metheny Group and more traditional trios, and though the latter have shown off his ability to function in a "pure" jazz context, the most recent PMG discs have suffered from an anticlimactic jazz-pop sameness.
		Repeated listenings reveal Metheny’s personality in the details, as he punctuates the calm, folk-like surfaces with moody dissonance and harmonic shifts, or follows an idea into new terrain.
		Metheny works similar surprises with Night’s cover choices, Jesse Harris’s Norah Jones hit "Don’t Know Why" and the Pacemakers’ "Ferry ’Cross the Mersey." "Over on 4th Street" ups the tempo with a folk-tunefulness that cries out for lyrics, and "Song for the Boys" builds drama with its propulsive triple meter.

		Metheny's style and goals became even more focused during Metheny's tenure at Berklee and during the three years he spent as a member of Burton's band.
		Metheny wanted to go on to another sideman position; but in 1977, fusion music dominated, and both his sound and playing style did not fit the bill.
		To Metheny, the spiritual side of his music — that which connects with the soul of the listener — is both the most important and least quantifiable element.

		It was 1978, when I had the fortune to listen Pat Metheny Group for the first time, I perfectly remember it was a beautiful song named "San Lorenzo" (included on this album); since then, I felt completely captivated by the uniqueness sound and musical expression of the Group.
		I said "That's the guy!!!" That was the night when I began to fully appreciate the artistry of Pat Metheny, his uncanny ability to wrest every ounce of emotion from a guitar, his ability to express every emotion from despair to elation using nothing but his fingers, strings and a geyser of talent.
		Pat Metheny remains, to this day, the guitarist for whom I hold the utmost respect and in whose talent I stand in awe.

		Metheny has likened the creation of The Way Up to making a film, and in some respects, the album feels like a vividly rendered journey, its moods shifting like scenes glimpsed from a fast-moving vehicle.
		Pat's guitar work also seems to be more varied as well alternating between electric, acoustic, slide, 12-string, fuzz and guitar-synth.
		Yes, Pat Metheny has earned the right to experiment but like it or not, any artist can end up a commodity and the road back, like the way up, can be a haul.
