My Take
Trey Gunn is a name for the people who go deep on progressive rock. His run in King Crimson from 1994 to 2003 puts him in seriously rarefied company, and he plays instruments most listeners couldn't name, the Warr Guitar and Chapman Stick, touch instruments that demand a different brain entirely. I admire musicians who chase that kind of texture instead of the obvious path. The University of Oregon background and Texas roots fill in a little, but the real story is the sound. Anyone willing to build a career on instruments this niche is chasing curiosity over comfort, and I respect that.
