Warr Guitarist Jason Blake on Big Blend Radio

This episode of Big Blend Radio features guitarist Jason Blake who has established himself as “one of the most distinguished technicians on the Warr.”  The Warr guitar is a unique twelve-string instrument incorporating the range of a guitar and bass that is played by tapping the strings, a technique known as touchstyle. 

“Subsequent Ruins" is Jason's new solo instrumental progressive rock album that features the Warr guitar as the sole melodic instrument along with Marco Minnemann on drums. The songs work as a modern retelling of Rattenfänger von Hameln (The Pied Piper), whereas screens play the title role. The six song album was mixed in Chicago at Gravel Road Recording by Amery Schmeisser and mastered by Andy VanDette (Rush, Porcupine Tree). Hajo Mueller (Steven Wilson, Mariusz Duda) completed the thought provoking artwork for the release. More: https://www.jasonblakemusic.com
