Your live with Antoine Dufour and Craig Dandrea was great, tell us something about that show, anything interesting ?
9 o9 _- {* C: Q% g  P  e- DI love playing with those guys. We just did about 10 concerts on the North Eastern side of the United States. Antoine’s new album “Existence” is really phenomenal and Craig has been writing new songs that sound even better than the tunes on his debut album. I think his next release will be crazy good! While we were on tour, we finished the show with a trio version of Antoine’s song “A Hiding Place for the Moon.” Craig and I just came up with some parts and it all blended perfectly! It was a great experience and made me think we should do an album together in the future… that would be awesome! Here is a link to a video of us playing the trio version of the song in New York: http://youtube.com/watch?v=u7PGz58ki5g
" \4 |( J( S7 Q- z4 B8 h您和Antoine Dufour还有Craig Dandrea的现场真是太棒了，和我们谈谈这场演出吧，有什么趣事吗？
我喜欢和他们一起演奏。我们刚好在美国东北地区进行了约10场的音乐会。Antoine的新专辑<Existence>非常出众，Craig已经写了几个新的曲子，它们听起来比他的首张专辑棒多了。我认为他的下张专辑一定会是超赞的！当我们一起巡演时，我们完成了Antoine的曲子“A Hiding Place for the Moon”的三重奏版本。Craig和我想出了一些段子和这个曲子结合起来非常完美！这个经历非常不错，同时也让我考虑我们将来也出一张专辑。。。可能会非常棒！！这里一个链接，是我们在纽约一起演奏的视频：http://youtube.com/watch?v=u7PGz58ki5g

We’ve become great friends over the last few years and it’s always such a pleasure to be around him. We are very similar in our sense of humor and our philosophy of music. I’d say the most unforgettable thing about working together on the album would have to be putting “Spirit of the West” together. It was so great to hear our ideas come together into such a cool arrangement.

Gnomeria据说是一个深入地底的幻想之城。我对于象指环王还有中世纪的RPG游戏非常痴迷。所以借此获得灵感，我想写个曲子让你们感受到在奇幻地下侏儒城游历的情形。虽然有点傻呵呵的...但是我真是情不自禁！

I like your brand new song “Ebon Coast” very much, can you tell us what motivated your inspiration about this song?
' L7 V0 F" i  I我很喜欢您的新曲<Ebon Coast>，您能否告诉我们是什么激发了您这首曲子的灵感呢？
Ebon Coast was the first song I wrote when I got my McCollum baritone guitar. There wasn’t really a specific inspiration for the tune, perhaps the guitar itself inspired the tune! I always liked the sound of the Ivory Coast in Africa, and thought it would be cool if there were an Ebony Coast or Ebon Coast. That is where I got the name.
% J4 e7 }* Y% t  V3 I* bEbon Coast是在我得到McCollum 中音吉他后所写的第一个曲子。对于曲子其实没有非常特别的灵感来源，可能是这把吉他自身激发了曲子的灵感！我一直很喜欢非洲象牙海岸（Ivory Coast）这个名字，所以我如果有个檀木般的海岸或者乌木海岸会很酷。这就是曲子得名的来源。（Ivory、Ebony都是制琴原料名称--译者注）

我们知道您新专辑的曲子大多在几年前就完成了，像 7-14,Ouray等等。在新的录音版本里面有没有添加新的元素呢？
Yes, I have been re-recording the songs from Nocturne and releasing them on newer albums because I was never really happy with the audio quality of that album. I originally pressed 1,000 copies of Nocturne here in the U.S. and have never reprinted it since. The tunes have evolved a bit over time, but they are essentially the same song with no drastic alterations.
  C6 Z' j& T; S9 _是的，在最新专辑里，我已经重新录制了Nocturne专辑里面一些曲子，因为我一直非常不满意当初专辑的录音质量。当初我在美国发行了1000张Nocturne专辑的拷贝，自此之后再也没有发行过。曲子虽然写了有些年头了，但是我在新版本里面并没做非常大的改变。

Your “Art of Motion” is great, the intro part maybe the most difficult one, how to get over the bass lines when we practise it?
( y! ~3 `" O$ S$ ^' P8 ^您的Art of Motion非常精彩，曲子的开场部分可能是最难演奏的地方，当我们练习时，如何才能攻克那些低音线呢？
Thanks, glad you like the tune!
There are some subtle things going on in that intro that might be a bit difficult to get at first, but just work on it and you can get it! Some of the notes are repeated a few times quickly, but it is just a combination of picked and hammered notes. For example, you might pluck the open 6th string with your thumb, hammer on the 3rd
0 R# Y) V, _0 b. r, Gfret 6th string, pluck the 3rd fret 6th string with your index finger, and finally play the open 5th string with the middle finger. So with the F#AC#G#BE tuning, you get these notes in that sequence: F#,A,A,A. But each of those A notes has a different characteristic due to how they are played.
谢谢！很高兴你喜欢这个曲子！
在intro部分起初会有些非常绊手的地方，但是只要你坚持练习，绝对可以拿下！有些音符会快速重复出现几次，但是它们只是拨弦和击弦的结合。比如，你可以会用大拇指来弹六弦空弦，用击弦技巧打在六弦3品上，再用食指来弹六弦3品的音，最后用中指来弹开放的五弦用食指来拨六弦3品。所以，通过F#AC#G#BE调弦，你可以用以上方式得到这些音：F#,A,A,A。但是每个A的特色因为演奏的方式而各不相同。
! m1 X) x' y! ~8 P8 F; sAnd that’s the beauty of the guitar! There are so many ways to go about creating notes on the instrument.

! r0 |, v1 l3 X, FYour style has a great influence from Don Ross, he uses thumbpick and fake nails all the time, but you just use your nails, can you tell us what is the difference between two nail styles?
' p/ q- X! A; a- N* b, ~您的风格深受阿东的影响，而他总是使用拇指套和夹指甲，但是您好像只使用指甲来演奏，您能否告诉我两种风格之间的差别吗？
: w! }0 _% t0 V6 K3 @; II actually don’t even use nails. I have my thumb nail a bit long but everything else is very short. That was just how I started playing and it feels very awkward to me to play with nails or a thumbpick.
我实际上都不使用指甲，我只是大拇指上的指甲比较长一些，其他几个手指指甲是留得非常短的。我一开始就是这么弹琴的，我非常不习惯指甲演奏和拇指套。
Typically, if you don’t have nails your tone is much more mellow and there isn’t as much attack on the strings. It can unfortunately lead to a sort of “muddy” tone where the notes aren’t very distinct. But I think something about my unusual right hand technique has helped me avoid that muddiness. Guitar players often tell me that my tone is clear in spite of the fact that I don’t use nails or a thumb pick.
+ |2 A0 Y/ s1 x" f3 m# G典型来说，如果你不用指甲，你出的音色就会比较圆润，弦相对的响应度就低了。这不幸的就导致了比较“浑”和不明确的音色。但是我相信我的非常的右手技巧使我很好的避免了“浑”音的出现。其他吉他手一直说我的音色出的非常干净尽管事实上我根本不用指甲和拇指套来演奏。
I would suggest to any aspiring fingerstyle guitarist to try using nails at least once and see what you think! It just didn’t work very well for me.
, c' o; O* u1 r5 u3 ]5 k我想建议对指弹吉他保有理想的吉他手去尝试使用指甲演奏至少一次，并且想想你是怎么认为的！我只是用不惯它们而已。

我实际上就在旅程中于几年前写了Shanghai 。我相信我们是在那里第一次相逢（和老李）！总之,我受中国文化的冲击并在上海的宾馆里写了这首曲子。在日本和中川先生共度了一段日子后，我同样写出了Nakagawa-san。

Yes, I still enjoy listening to heavy metal and hard rock sometimes. I love Dream Theater and old Metallica, some Pantera. Bands like that.

Heavy metal and hard rock gives me an emotion that you can’t typically find in fingerstyle guitar music. That’s why I like to listen to so many different kinds of music! You can get such amazing feelings when listening to something like “Master of Puppets” by Metallica. Or something like “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire.

) ^8 h" N0 W' L9 o我想我改编的“Africa” 可能是现在编的最好的一个，感觉上我很好地把握住了原曲的精髓，听上去也非常有趣和独特。
I think to make an arrangement unique you should try to approach the song with the idea that you shouldn’t try to capture everything from the original recording. Just try to get the key ideas and progressions down. From there, experiment with finding unique chord voicings or techniques that can make your arrangement fresh! If you play it exactly like the original version, then what is the point? People will very likely prefer to just listen to the original recording. Try to throw something unusual in there!
我想要使编曲变得独特，你们应该秉持一个想法就是抛开一切原曲的特色。只要抓住关键的理念和音乐的进行。由此，尝试用独特的和弦或者技巧来使你的编曲变得新鲜！如果你仅仅是和原来的曲子弹的一样，那有何意义？人们可能更愿意去听原版的录音。试试用些不寻常的花样！
