Guitar

Guitar is where Luke locates voice, not technique. In The Beautiful Electric Guitar, picking up a Telecaster after years on inferior instruments becomes, he says, a voice; Finding Channels in the Fretboard, built around Jeb Sherrill's chair system, maps the same instrument as one continuous shape instead of memorized boxes, and his own credit on Rees Finley's American Champagne is that voice doing quiet work behind someone else's record.

Every place guitar turns up across Luke F. Walton's work: 34 songs, 126 episodes, 15 more.
