Fretless Wonders
The NYC Fretless Guitar Festival—which took place between September 9 and 12 at the Knitting Factory and the I0 Restaurant and Lounge in New York—showcased guitarists from around the globe. Organized by unfretted veteran Michael “Atonal” Vick, the shows presented renowned players such as New York City’s Elliott Sharp and Seattle’s Tom Baker, along with a gaggle of lesser-known unfettered fretters. The event also served as the CD release party for the double-CD compilation Village of the Unfretted [Unfretted], which features artists from 16 countries. Both a CD and a DVD documenting the event are planned.  Credit: Jesper deJong Eddie DeGenaro delivered awesome chops with style on his Vigier fretless guitar.
