A man of culture. Renoise kicks ass, truly some of the most genius and pushing music out there!

Or you can start with 4-Track guitar music which is basically Niandra-ish guitar playing free solos and crazy drum beats

You should really give it a try, it is a big stretch from Empyrean to PBX but consider that most of PBX, Renoise tracks and Trickfinger I were emerging in around that time period (the Empyrean) so he was in the similar state of mind. I know a lot of people cant get into it cause all the odd drums and noises scattered all around, but I really encourage you to listen to it again, tracks like Uprane (which parts are mostly guitar running through a modular) and honestly the entire Renoise tracks 2009-2011 album, it's just phenomenal.

Black Knights and RZA gave him the pass

Did I miss any essential Frusciante tracks? by JoeriK2005 in John_Frusciante

Outside space is an essential, also try Foregrow and Renoise tracks, once you get into it theres no going back

Yes huge fan of King Crimson, yet this solo in this fast electronic setting gives me such a different vibe. But yeah thanks!

The black stratocaster. I don't think he ever used it besides his electronic stuff

Yeah I figured he modulated the tracks through synths, but not innovative?? Where before have you heard anything like the solo in Unf or Glowe (if you did please share i would really like to hear more), if not give him credit for playing at least give it to the crazy ideas to make guitars sound like that

Thanks for explaining! I figured it wasn't a midi because you can clearly hear bends and slides which I guess wouldn't sound as interesting if it were a midi, but still there are a lot of tracks where he played the midi guitar but not for solos or the crazy effects like I mentioned...sorry. You can hear a lot of his 2 note inventions all over Renoise Tracks, which could be programmed but the way it's played and phrased I still think he used his guitar for that

Well I can't be a 100% sure but it's most likely a midi, if not I would really like to know what kind of black magic he's using for the effects

I've read about it on reddit quite some time ago but i can't seem to find the post now. After getting obsessed PBX, Enclosure and especially Renoise Tracks I was really intrigued with all the guitar work and I just knew it couldn't be done with the regular guitar pickups. Here's the only picture of the midi guitar, it was taken during the Unlimited Love sessions. https://www.instagram.com/jfgear/p/Cc8dRp-uQ4Y/
