Barney Kessel Chord-Melody Style: Lesson 3 - My Short Melody

[@davegilbertmusic]

We're so lucky that cats like Barney Kessel and Joe Pass made these kind of videos for us mere mortals. They really help unlock that wonderful style of Jazz guitar and make it feel attainable.

What a great instructor! Also he could be a perfect Wes Anderson character

I can't believe these videos don't have a million likes 😢 this is gold!

You didn’t know Jazz is a niche genre? Jazz guitar even more so.

[@dry509]

These are the best lessons I have ever seen and heard.

Barney was a great teacher as well as a great player.

[@mathman43]

Very helpful. Joe Pass was fantastic at incorporating thirds and octaves into his solos.

Everybody I know loved and admired Barney, without any unkind word spoken .i spent many an afternoon looking at beautiful guitars up on the hill in his shop in Hollywood

[@pierrechaouat]

I wasn't aware that he had a shop...

Tip for anyone trying to play the Fm11/C (sub. for Bb7) @ 12:26, try fingering the C and F with the middle (doublestop), semi-barre with the index across four strings from the G# to the high F, then the D# with the ring and G with the pinky.

Classic!

[@jeffbrown9039]

Barney you justified your existence greatly. Rest in peace with the God of creation.

[@To.Si.Ma.]

That s like old 80s Kung Fu instruction videos 👍

[@Skizze37]

Goodness that ending etude is quite the pinky workout, with the Gmin11 (sub. for C)

That's awesome! Thank you! Do you have a playlist with all the videos of Mr. Kessel?

[@rumarkvideo]

There is a playlist on our page for each series as well as a compilation of practice tracks from each video. Enjoy!

That's great! I'll check it! Thank you!

I'm transcribing on GuitarPro 7 all examples played by Mr. Kessel in this Chord-Melody lessons. I already did Lesson 1 and 2. I can send the GP and PDF files it by e-mail if you want to.

One dislike? Who's the clueless stiff?

The one guy that wanted tab instead of standard notation.
