"I'm bored with most things on guitar", says Marc Ribot. "Eight zillion people have tried to play as fast as they can, and so what? The sounds we're talking about are not part of the tempered scale, but are part of the established language of free improvisers and downtown New York City noisemakers. They're not part of what most kids learn in music school. It goes back to one of the oldest understandings of why people make music at all, and that's because music is mimetic of nature. That theory bored me too until I understood what composers like Zorn, Elliott Sharp, and Arto Lindsay are doing, which is creating the mimesis of the absence or death of nature, and our connection to it. Understanding ideas like that will get you a lot further than going to Berklee."
