What happens When half a dozen visionaries of contemporary prog gather to talk guitar in an enclosed space?

Between The Buried And Me / Plini / Tesseract

We can’t remember the last time TG attempted to corral six guitarists at one time but this is Round Table and we’re hosting a very special gathering of keen progmen par excellence; three very different acts, all living up to the standard that progressive guitar playing is about – carving unique and constantly evolving musical paths. All with the knowledge of experience to share with you.

Australian instrumental maverick fusioneer Plini has brought live guitarist and old friend Jake Howsam – also member of Point Below Zero and The Helix Nebula. Brits Tesseract continue to go from strength to strength with seven-stringers Acle Kahney and James Monteith, transcending their early metal tag and exploring a unique kind of progressive rock. And lastly, but certainly not least, we have Paul Waggoner and Dustie Waring of Americans Between The Buried And Me; remarkable players who are nine albums deep, rising up from their metal roots and into a rich and varied goldmine.

Gather around people – cometh the progmen, cometh the wisdom...

You’re all a mix of being self-taught and having had formal lessons when you were starting out, are there advantages to being self-taught when it comes to finding your own way?

Plini: “I think it might have been bad if I’d had a bad teacher who had told me I’d never be anything and that C is the only scale. But I think if you have a good teacher it’s probably inspiring.”

Acle Kahney, Tesseract: “Yes, inspiring more than stifling.”
