In this interview Karl says of playing guitar with UW, "And when it comes to playing live of course, we’ve tried me playing lots of live guitar. But it’s too live. It’s too different all the time. It’s too human. The kind of music we play requires the sounds to be repetitive in a way we find beautiful and always sound more like the record that we find beautiful. So I never get to play much guitar on stage."

It had me thinking about times I can think of him playing guitar and TMO of course comes to mind, but it's the glam buckets that really stick out as situations where it's REALLY worked. It's a tad dissapointing they don't find ways to work it in. By that same token, of the two live glam buckets i've listened to, one doesn't get mixed out of, and the other has an awkward transition into a TMO.

Kinda rambly, but thoughts?

He can sing repetitive so he should be able to play guitar repetitive too, if necessary. I still believe he is an excellent guitar player.
His ability to be in tune when he speaks must be even better with live instruments on stage.
Moreover, it is precisely the improvisations he likes best anyway. At least this is how it sounds when he is talking about the sessions with Eno. So honestly I don´t understand why he doesn´t show more of his "awfully well in tune" stuff on guitarr for his fans. Repetitive or not.
But who knows, maybe it´s only for the privileged

In the early gigs (Hyde/Smith?Emerson) he played guitar a whole lot more. But, the shows were far less structured back then. It was much more of a jam. Tunes didn't start and stop. Everything was in the mix. He'd pick up his guitar or harmonica and just freestyle it.
