AL DI MEOLA INTERVIEW: GUITAR SCHISMS
A guitarist torn between electric and acoustic
Al Di Meola earned his reputation for death defying speed runs with Chick Corea's Return to Forever and on a string of solo CDs in the 1970s and 80s. But for nearly two decades, he's spent even more time with the acoustic guitar, recording in a trio with John McLaughlin and Paco De Lucia, his own World Symphonia and many other projects. On a new CD called Consequence of Chaos, he returns to electric. Al Di Meola talks about his return to electric guitar and the acoustic album around the corner.
