Guitar synth tracks

   Hi,
I first heard of Terje in 1974 when I saw an advertisement in Melody Maker for a concert with Ash Ra Tempel and Terje Rypdal's Odyssey in London. And I ended up with the double album that I still like. Terje has done a lot of far out things, but the most beautiful one is the one album that no one has heard and enjoyed like I have ... EOS with David Darling ... take away the first cut in the album, the rest is Jimi Hendrix in heaven and then some, the best "chamber music" with an electric guitar ever ... and a real oddity, but it shows how a rock audience thinks the rest of the music is not important or valuable ... the visuals in it are far out, and a part of this album (and some from Garbarek's Eventyr album) were a part of a film that won the Best Oscar for Foreign Film ... one that we don't want to see because it is about the hope for freedom ... for folks that are still "stuck" ... 
Talk about a special evening for 1974 with Ash Ra Tempel and Terje Rypdal ... gets me all excited ... how I wish I were there, and if I was rich enough those guys would have played in my living room! 

I kinda thought, and still do, that too much of the music has "make believe" lyrics, and I prefer the real thing that allows you the visuals in your mind ... instead of merely the idea of the whole thing. I loved Space Ritual and a lot of the well known "space rock", but all in all the whole thing was more about the science fiction side of it than it was anything else, which came to an end, sort of ... later ... the Michael Moorcock era/stuff was dead and no one gave a damn anymore ... the "hits" were more important!

The majority of the lyrics in a lot of "space rock" ... are really poor from a writing perspective ... if that was your paper in an English class, you would be lucky to get a B, specially as the paper/lyrics had no continuity which was replaced by a format instead.

	I love the use of an analogue Roland guitar synth in this 1978 live version of "Waves," which exemplifies Terje Rypdal's ability to blend jazz improvisation with electronic textures, creating beautiful ethereal soundscapes.🌌✨🎶

	Hi, I was thinking of 10CC with their "Gismo" which was featured in a few of their songs.

	Here's a King Crimson track with both Adrian and Robert playing guitar synth.

	It's only the intro to Please Don't Touch but as a devoted Steve Hackett fan I can't help posting this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Di6-4Fdb8

	Allan Holdsworth, Pat Metheny, Robert Fripp, John McLaughlin and many others embraced the technology of guitar synths. This is a thread to share some of those tracks.
