Bill Frisell – “It Should’ve Happened a Long Time Ago” (Solo)

Bill Frisell performs a meditative solo version of Paul Motian’s “It Should’ve Happened a Long Time Ago” at the Fretboard Journal. Bill is using a heavily modified Fender Telecaster. It has TK Smith neck pickup and a Seymour Duncan Little ’59 on the bridge; a Gibson-scale length neck (done by JW Black); a Mastery bridge; and custom art by Terry Turrell. On this clip, he’s playing through a Strymon Flint pedal for reverb and tremelo, a Line 6 DL4 for looping and a vintage Gibson GA-50T amp.
