Hi,
On some releases that feature Bailey on electric guitar, you hear a different kind of playing than what you hear when he plays acoustic guitar. For example, Harras (Avant, 1994,with Zorn and Parker) and Mirakle (Tzadik, 1999, with Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Calvin Weston), you can identify the same "riffs" and these riffs are something that you only hear from an electric guitar.
"Ballads" and "Drum'n'bass & Guitar" on Tzadik and Avant, respectively, are also examples of his electric sound, very different from each other. The first one is more in the vein of what David mentions: an acoustic approach on an electric guitar, or that's the way I see it at least, through a very particular use of amplification and pedal(s). On other releases,
Bailey plays the electric guitar in the same manner as the acoustic guitar. This solo live show in Barcelona is in the latter vein. It's a mellow, low-key, enjoyable Bailey solo guitar show, which happens to be performed on an electric guitar. It is not first and foremost an "electric guitar" show. At least that is what I have heard in it.
I've seen him three or four times since he's been living here and all of his shows have been electric. I wasn't at the CG Club show that day but I was told he was playing electric.
