Great interview . Actually it was through this interview that I first learned about Allen Hinds and he is now definitely one of my favorite guitar players. Allens style is very personal and difficult to try to go into, but he plays a beautiful Steps Ahead ballad on one You Tube clip, and that one I am gonna learn. Thanks a lot for a great interview.
That’s so cool that Allen said that Jeff Buckley was a great fusion guitar player. Jeff's voice was so outstanding the he doesn't get much love for his guitar work. Coming from Allen, that's high praise.
Lovely, I love the Mr. Hasting's ride, ha! Fiat 500 Abarth, I think? Great! And the music as well, naturally ☺️😇 Nice gentlemen, beautiful "axes" on Mr. Hind's part.
Man I love how Allen plays. Im a new Fan!!!! I never have been a fan of speed deamon players. Id rather hear one or two sweet notes that a barage of notes like someone threw a bag of marbles on a guitar. Nice man, nice
I couldn't help notice that, too, it almost looks cartoonish and instantaneously wins my sympathies for reasons of revealing a sense of humour on the bassist's part. 😇
Nice interview parts. Yes, I have to agree with SurveyofFilmMusic below about the guitar tone. It wasn't captured properly. The drums are also too loud. Amazing and beautiful playing from Allen but why such a small room? Made me feel claustrophobic even though I'm not! :-) Sorry to complain, I thoroughly enjoyed it, but comments are enabled and these are my comments.
Chris what type of auto wah or talk box are you using on the play out track? I discovered you listening to the Chuck Loeb Pandora station a few years ago. You have a great sound mixing jazz w some modern sounds. Thanks.
wow that tone was not nearly as bad as you guys made it out to be... If I was to guess amp was probably much quieter then usual. Didn't push the tubes as hard
+Taylor Kropp agreed. the tone isn't necessarily bad, it's just like you said: the amp is clearly very quiet so that power amp section was probably half asleep thus the weak (but not terrible) tone. i'm sure once cranked it sounds like a beast
Like mid-70s era Soft Machine without the mindless guitar riffs. Nothing wrong at all with fusion, AS LONG AS, there is musical integrity, and not just endless riffing that really has no cohesive vision or directionality.
+SurveyofFilmMusic I don't think his tone sucks… Just sounds a bit flat. I mean, look at the room they're in, if he's loud enough to hear himself there could be phasing issues in the drum mics which could strip some (or a whole lot) of the guitar tone's character, so he might not be pushing the output section of his amp much at all. Also, I can't tell from this video but it looks like they might have just thrown something like a SM57 right up on the speaker and that pretty much always sounds flat and dry to me if not used in combination with something else. He's used the same setup in other videos and it sounds great so I'll blame the room/possible lack of better way to record this band. KILLER player tho, hahaha.
Allen is a guitar guru! His playing is amazing. His touch and guitar sensibility is beyond amazing! 👏
Allen Hinds is one of the best guitarists in the world
Allen Hindsworth..love this

Gee Harm is very, very beautiful! Thanks!
THANKS for this show! LOVE it!!!
Those dang Virgil Arlo pickups will do it every time- bravo!

Awesome!
What an accomplished player.....so tasteful. Very nice band.
Man the recording quality is fantastic on this
man, I could tell you what I would give to play like that but then Id be singing soprano!!
Great show! Looking forward to picking up wonderland park once it's back in stock on cd.
great watch. Thanks!@
Allen sounds like a great guy!
Sweet as sweet can be.
super !!!
I wanna be Allen when I grow up, but we're the same age...
Inside track tv,, Mate, is this in New Zealand or Australia????
acoustic bass in a 500 FIAT....wow
I couldn't help notice that, too, it almost looks cartoonish and instantaneously wins my sympathies for reasons of revealing a sense of humour on the bassist's part. 😇
Can anyone tell me what the piece of music is that kicks in around 1:35? The shuffle...

That shit is insane. And tastily so.

It's a Rocktron Banshee talk box. Thanks for the kind words...sorry for the late reply.
I've never seen a bass player fit a double bass into a Fiat 500, and certainly not in the US!
I hear Jeff Beck in there too.....
Sounded like he was going for the rush vibe
Got 5 tb books,
That's the s##t , keep playing brother,...
LOL Mad Dog 20/20... funny
+guitarran I thought he was serious for a second, haha.

Hinds is a tasteful player. Something that often is lost in the fusion realm, i.e. too many notes.
Pinot Noirs do not need to breath.
Wrong channel.

Great player, but that WHACK tone???? Weird! Usually, he has that shit so together!
+SurveyofFilmMusic The whack tone =The new amp that he's using perhaps? Please elaborate on this whack tone
Whack=weird/shit no good, something that'd not be used on a record, etc.
+SurveyofFilmMusic I don't think his tone sucks… Just sounds a bit flat.

+SurveyofFilmMusic it seems like a recording issue, not only the room thing.
I hear Jeff Beck in there too....
