Bill Frisell - “Lonesome“ | Fretboard Journal

We’re going through our archives and sharing some never-seen-before Fretboard Journal video sessions. Up first: A previously unreleased clip of FJ-favorite Bill Frisell performing his tune “Lonesome.“ It’s a composition that has appeared on numerous Frisell albums, including ’Lookout for Hope,’ ’Gone, Just Like a Train’ and ’Harmony.’ On this track, Bill is playing his heavily modified Fender Telecaster with TK Smith and Seymour Duncan Little ’59 pickups; a Gibson-scale length neck (crafted by JW Black); a Mastery bridge; and custom art by Terry Turrell. He’s playing through a Carr Sportsman amplifier. Support the Fretboard Journal magazine by subscribing here:
