Pat Metheny is the chameleon of jazz. Since 1977 and the formation of his famous Trio, he has explored the possibilities of every kind of guitar, whether it be in a solo context or as part of an ensemble. He improvised on six and twelve string electrics (Ibanez mainly), steel and nylon string acoustics, synth guitars, baritones and the incredible 42-string Pikasso guitar. His musicality in every note makes him the leading musician in fusion and the most visible to a large audience.
