专栏 | 很闲的东西 Vol.003 进化指弹——美国Spencer Elliott
2016-09-17 欢迎加入 指弹吉他
专栏负责人:很闲的东西(指弹中国站长-李伟峰)
有人叫我“很玄的东西”后来有人叫我“很炫的东西”直到微信出现的那一天,我觉得自己应该叫“很闲的东西”别人说老李,你这是严重的自嘲。你连休息的时间都很少,怎么可能很闲呢?自2006年创立指弹中国这10多年的时间,我一直忙各种演出策划推广,以至于荒废了练琴和创作。发一张自己的原创指弹唱片,早已成了伟大的梦想。时间在走,我们也在变,科技改变生活,唯一不变的是吉他和音乐。这个栏目不定期更新,仅代表个人观点,欢迎大家留言交流。
Vol.003
他来自查尔斯顿(Charleston)位于美国南卡罗来纳州伯克利县和查尔斯顿县的一座城市。
斯宾塞·艾利奥特的早年创作始于器乐化钢琴音乐——他主要受到了像乔治•温斯顿这样当代作曲家的影响。后来,他拿起吉他,然而他仍更多地被朋克和当时的另类风格深深的影响着。二十多年来,斯宾塞作为歌手和临时吉他手参加了大量朋克和另类乐队的演出。直到2007年,斯宾塞将焦点转向了入时的钢弦吉他。斯宾塞花费多年时间从艺术家如Hedges,Ross,McKee和Dufour等人的身上获取灵感。然而,他保持着一份偏爱,这是从贝多芬到比莉·哈乐黛,再到Bad Brains对其的影响所致。
当斯宾塞开始写前卫的指弹风格作品时,他的创作元素不仅来源于他的钢琴背景,也取材于他亲和、前卫的吉他音乐。斯宾塞看待现代指弹风格为一种“自由空间”,借用伊恩MacKaye(Minor Threat 和 Fugazi的歌手以及 Dischord Records的老板)的话。这是一个新兴和原始艺术思想不断碰撞开花的地方。这些想法不是基于利益而诞生的,而是基于创作的强烈欲望和需要而产生。斯宾塞的作品拥有电影般的质感、像画作般的丰富旋律景观、都融入他对比鲜明的音乐风格。
什么是“进化”指弹?
基于传统吉他演奏法之上的东西,学古典的朋友看到这话,有可能不太乐意。我们不会否认古典吉他艺术,但在尼龙弦和钢弦吉他二者之间,我看到的更多新的东西,多数来源于钢弦吉他,也就是现在比较火的“指弹”吉他。
人们从未停止过研究科技的步伐,弹吉他也是这样。过去人们弹吉他的技法和现在比要简单很多,进化指弹就是打开脑洞,让自己飞,充满各种挑战。我们一直在说,指弹吉他是什么?TOMMY在很多现场给大家示范过,左手一个WALKING BASS,右手拿着鼓刷子,一会BASS进入,一会儿再加入另外一把和声吉他,配合上节奏,一个人的乐队。世界上也只有一个TOMMY,像今天我们的主人公他不可能变成TOMMY,从资料上看他学过古典音乐,也玩过另类摇滚,指弹吉他--在我眼中,具有摇滚精神。包括之前和ANDY MCKEE聊天的时候也曾经说过,他喜欢一些金属乐队。很多中国琴友听欧美总觉得很遥远,这种不光是距离上的,也有很多根源性的,文化上的差异。
Spencer Elliott目前出过二张唱片,曲目量都不大,第一张有7个曲子,第二张有6个曲子。制作人安东尼 杜佛,真是绝佳的合作,因为他们之间有很多共同点。安东尼 杜佛近10年做的一切就是“进化”指弹。他们不是传统美式指弹,也不是让你心碎的日系指弹,律动是“进化”指弹的核心。
国内玩这种风格的人很少,原来有一个,可能将来还会有更多个,原来这个人现在英国进修,我也希望他再次回归的时候,可以给我们带来不一样的听觉享受,因为我听日系那种治愈系的感觉好多年,有一些够了,对了,忘记告诉大家,我们中国的“进化指弹”代表人物叫--袁绍哲。

Jumbo Fan-Fret介绍
If you are a guitarist who demands performance from your guitar this is the guitar for you. With its big body and fanned frets it is capable of clearly and articulately producing both the fattest bass tone, and the clearest ringing trebles – even in open tunings. Although this guitar performs exceptionally well in standard tuning it will maintain perfect balance across all the strings in severely dropped tunings such as DADGAD or even lower. This guitar is designed as the ultimate “fully loaded” fingerstyle guitar. All the advantages of a BIG guitar, but still extremely comfy! Not only does it sport an armrest bevel it also has a one inch “wedge” from left to right side – thus allowing a big sound, without being wide under your arm! As with all my guitars it comes with a compound radiussed fingerboard, and extremely precise action for ultra smooth playablity. It is indeed hard to put down once you pick it up! So full of life this guitar practically plays itsel
Scale Length: 25″-26″
Body max width: 16.75″
Body length: 20.75″
Overall length: 41″
These guitars are built either with Lutz spruce soundboards repurposed from decomissioned bridge stringers, or spruce piano soundboards repurposed from 100+ year old piano soundboards. The back, sides, and neck are composed of the highest grade of Honduras Mahogany repurposed from vintage, but non-restorable, furniture. The fingerboard, bridge, bindings, and overlays are repurposed from exotic hardwood floors: Copalwood and Maple. Inlays of matlenite or false turquoise, and as always: pain/death free naturally shed deer antlers for the Nut/Saddle.

I’m pleased to announce the release of a new album by emerging solo guitarist Spencer Elliott of Candyrat records “Some Forgotten Color.” Spencer plays a Jedidiah Jumbo fanned fret with a 25-26 1/4 scale length.
他还有另外一个手工琴,是一把中音吉他,很遗憾,没有找到相应的图片,不过我们有制琴师傅的网站,世界之大,无奇不有,看看新的品牌,长长见识吧!
Spencer also plays a Jumbo Baritone acoustic built by Trevor Kronbauer. Visit Kronbauer Guitars here:

除了吉他合作之外,他还用了KK的拾音系统(看来美国人还是比较传统)
琴弦用的是ELIXIR
2015年第一张唱片。
Engineered and produced by Antoine Dufour, Spencer’s debut release contains seven original compositions each as diverse has his influences. Ranging from reflective to rhythmic (often within the same song) each track on Some Forgotten Color shares the common thread of a captivating and memorable sense of melody.
All songs engineered, produced and mixed by Antoine Dufour (except Some Forgotten Color – engineered and produced by Jack Griffith, edited and mixed by Antoine Dufour).
Photography and design by Steve Payne.
Spencer plays: · Fan-Fret Jumbo guitar by Jedidiah Wiebe – Jedidiah’s Planet Saving Guitars; and · Baritone Jumbo guitar by Trevor Kronbauer.
2016年第二张唱片,曲目不多,越来越成熟。
Once again with Antoine Dufour at the controls, Spencer’s second Candyrat release contains six unique and dynamic pieces that forge new territory and display Spencer’s continuing progression in composition and careful attention to melody. From the bombastic “Torque” to the delicate “Unspoken,” each composition paints a diverse and vivid sonic landscape.
All songs engineered and produced by Antoine Dufour. Photography and design by Steve Payne.
Spencer plays: Fan-Fret Jumbo guitar by Jedidiah Wiebe – Jedidiah’s Planet Saving Guitars; and · Baritone Jumbo guitar by Trevor Kronbauer.
