What kind of guitar is he using?

Greatness!

If you incorporate these techniques Mr Kessel is instructing you're playing will explode. This is the magic you hear for example when cream is performing.

I like to watch or just listen to a great musical genius

I bet if he wanted to,but I don’t think he would have he could flat pick the hell out of blue grass 😮

You must think what you feel then play it.

Why do I feel like I'm in Ron Burgundy mode😅

"Musical value" strikes me as a slightly ugly phrase

When I was in college in the early '90's Barney Kessel gave a clinic where he talked about this. Also singing what you play as you play it.

This is almost perfect, only Oscar Peterson is missing...

Thanks , really helpful, where can I get the book from?

So useful thanks✊

Playing off the shape of the chord..i think thats how charlie Christian looked at the fretboard.

useless - thanks Barney

good words!

Saw Lenny Breau and Dave Young recording live at Bourbon Street both musical geniuses

Thank you for sharing this videos!

Amazing!! Master!

Licks aren't mechanical. They are just great ideas that want to be implemented. Great artists and players steal from gteat artists and players. I understand that being a great musician means to be original which is true, but licks and passages are there for a reason to learn and maybe even change to a certain feeling or liking.

❤Perfeito

Brilliant lesson that applies to any style of music, improvised or composed!

Pure Gold

If that’s A 440 im joe pass himself 😂

He was a real master RIP. mr Kessel.

<<33

This is a great approach! Thanks Mr. Kessel❤

He comes up with musical phrases so quick after playing a chord… is it really that easy or is it because he is great? I swear nothing musical comes to mind.

이걸 이제야 보다니... 가장 좋아하는 기타리스트의 강의라니 두고두고 보겠습니다 감사합니다

1:40 ...interval sense, AKA Barneys' mind reading time travel gymnastic witchcraft 🎉

Usually what i hear is something that goes with a riff (you hear it you want to play it immediately) If I can’t play it immediately, STOP (figure out what I’m hearing). It wasn’t until could learn songs by ear not just Black Sabbath either it was enduring years later when I could play Boston, Styx, stuff I couldn’t play for years. Embarrassing parts riff from Led Zeppelin songs. KZbin made me better I could figure watching fingers by that time. But classic rock 80s neo classical is easier compared to modern guitarist like polyphia and buried alive. They have takin guitar skills way up another notch than someone like Marty Friedman 80s guitarist. The absolute worst

Ooo, the bend at 11:10. (approximately)

Idk I think it’s fine to rely on cliche and patterns. There’s nothing you can play on a guitar that isn’t a “pattern”

Not even 5 mins in this video and he offers more than almost any guitar video i have watched. Great teacher

All I hear in my head is what George Benson said about jamming with Barney 😂😂😂

These are great tips!

You’d be surprised as all get out just how many of your favorite guitar solos were actually Barney playing!

One of the few guitarists along side Joe Pass, Wes and Ed Bickert with a true gift for melody rather than simply playing stale arpeggios, scale fragments and enclosures.

How come he doesn't have a whammy bar? How can he do dive bombs without a whammy bar?

RIp, good sir.

Every time I think I have heard it all, I learn something new.

What a blessed guitar lesson from a master player. Cool!

So, basically, to be a beginner jazz guitarist, you have to be at least an intermediate guitar player.

Not only a brilliant guitar lesson, also a lesson about music in general

The most generous teacher ever. Telling his secrets. And he can whistle!

4:33 "Many publishers write shit music..." So true! 🤣

If one is not a Jazz musician, are these advic.. advis... are these lessons valid for other music styles?

Song choices in this episode are perfectly cued to my own level. :) This is approachable, accessible teaching from an authentic master. A rare gift. THANK YOU for uploading.

He made the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs

This just highlights how talented vocalists are... in the sense that they have to create a note from scratch rather than a lot of instrumentalists. What im saying is to sing a G note singers really manufacture it with their vocal chord, or muscles in their voice box. But us guitar players even at the learning stage we have the convenience of puting our finger on the e string ..third fret to produce the G note as long as the string is in standatd tuning. That does not give us much creativity. But guitarists that tend to sing or think about melodies in their head are more succesful as they are able to reproduce those melodies on the guitar.
