Guitarist Shane Parish performs Autechre’s “Slip” at the Fretboard Journal. For this session, Parish is using his Taylor 214E-G.

Parish’s 2026 Autechre Guitar album features groundbreaking acoustic guitar arrangements of Autechre’s early electronic music output. The original material is dense and layered with synths, but somehow Parish distills each composition to its essence and transforms it into beautiful guitar music. We talked to Parish about the project on a recent Fretboard Journal Podcast.

We are proud to announce that he’ll be both teaching and performing at our 2026 Fretboard Summit, our three-day guitar festival held at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music. This year’s Summit takes place August 20-22, 2026. Register at fretboardsummit.org. Nearly 100 brands and luthiers will be exhibiting, plus hourly workshops and performances by Parish, Hand Habits, Michael Daves & Jacob Jolliff, Jake Xerxes Fussell, Deep Sea Diver and others.
