Brett Garsed: interview with theinstrumentalguitarist.com



2. Back in 1991, you recorded Centrifugal Funk with Shawn Lane and Frank Gambale on Legato Records. This is one of those CDs that will go down in history as one of the greatest of all times. Could you share some thoughts about what it was like working with Shawn Lane and Frank Gambale?

I was absolutely blown away to be able to appear on an album with Frank and Shawn. I recorded my solos first which was just as well as I probably would have just stayed at home if I'd heard what Frank and Shawn were about to contribute. It was one of the rare occasions where the producer is saying, "More! More!" instead of telling you to not play so much. I was grateful to hear the final album and realise that my identity as a player held up against two of the greatest musicians that have ever existed. It also provided me with the opportunity to meet both Frank and Shawn and get to know them as people.
