CHARLIE PARKER ++ BEBOP ON GUITAR - 11 HEADS BTR THAN ONE

[@Corporations8MyBaby]

Kevin, I applaud both your hard work and talent. Fame is not the most important achievement... being able to play with tone time and feel... that's the prize. And 78k people know what you have done and that can NEVER be taken away. Congrats.

[@spoofzilla]

Talk about woodshedding!!!! Phenominal playing!!!! Excellent tone!!!! Everything was awesome!!!!!

[@Tototwice]

A lot of hard work went into this and it SHOWS! Great......awesome! KEEPON STRUMMIN............DALLAS

[@JimmyDeLocke]

cool idea. well-executed. I was at a workshop where somebody asked Bela Fleck something about how to get better at playing Jazz and he said "Learn some Charlie Parker heads"

[@b5b9]

WOW...What a workout! Excellent clip.

[@pentonhusqvarna]

Todd, truly amazing! It's been a long time since Broadcast Electronics and the Heathkit days. Glad to see you are doing well. Blessings!

[@kevinthebeagle]

i must be older than i thought, i don't get the references, please illuminate

[@JoseAnguloMusic]

learning this must give you so much language!

[@cluxseltoot]

You've got it nailed - great stuff in the groove. Thank for putting this up on KZbin - I'm off to buy some Charlie Parker.

[@markmorgan10]

Great work man, I know that you`ve played five thousand times the heads to get them the way you do in this excelent video. Thanks for your work.

[@upT3mpo]

[@Pedjazz]

Love it Kevin! Great choice of Charlie Parker heads , well played :)

[@babinm]

It's not how fast Pass played that counts as much to me as his harmonic ideas. This is fantastic work and I hope you understand the harmonic ideas you are playing

[@phantom1412]

wow.... great bebop pieces all woven to one

[@JamieGlaserpage]

this is great Todd!

[@kevinthebeagle]

[@youngun550]

Well done mate. Well transcribed

[@guitarleal]

Very good, great job.

[@thelonious1234]

nice. like jose044 says, loaded with language. good presence too, and keeping it all straight in your head. ain't it hard getting rid of that last bit of ex-rock-guy choke vibrato though? i only say it 'cause i know the feeling ;-) rock on.

[@silver10gold]

Great playing, no need to hide your face with playing as good as this

[@sysphus13]

I think I'm gonna try this...great idea, great exercise for sure

[@QWeirdness]

Todd-- Congratulations on 100K views. Brings back fond memories of freezing my tuchus off in your garage at 7:30 in the morning. Michael L

[@Musicistaitaliano]

beatiful guitar

[@BlueManIndividual]

Really amazing my friend. I have some real problems alternate picking arpeggios cleanly at these tempos. Can you offer any tips?

[@pauljbleemusic]

DAMN!!! LOVE CHARLIE PARKER!!!

[@kevinthebeagle]

Hey Tom, thanks for checking in. it took me awhile to figure out who would use "Pages' and "Maxus' in the same sentence, and now i know.

[@EricGarland]

DAMN - I have been practicing that for 20 years and I haven't got it that smooth!

[@mikerudjazz]

Really, really nice.

[@jazzbluesshred]

wow, amazing, simply fantastic :O

[@SteveMontgomery01]

thats amazing bro!

[@IantaylorCanuck]

[@Guitfiddlejase]

I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AdamSteinzOfficial]

Flawless.

[@mojoefly]

wow flawless!!

[@pirator67]

you are a great guitarist :)

[@mrandrechaves]

belo trabalho!!!

[@JazzLinesForGuitar]

great stuff!!!!

[@andrewfiskmusic]

awesome idea and really well played! im inspired to try to same now.

[@way2hunk]

Man,i love listening to this..i dont care when people say bebop is dead..this is awesome..do you have some tabs?did you rely on a book or did you just learn it by ear?thanks

[@zapharatu]

nice compilation, a lot of those i never hear guitarists play very much, like Boblicity. Donna Lee was especially good, that was a pretty burnin' tempo, lol.

[@satanycan9]

Great WOW ++

[@EricAll4soundsAlbert]

Chapeau,!

[@513Lonestar]

That book is actually so damn hard to read cos the tempos are all at like 250 bpm. Good accomplishment man!

[@MiserablePyre]

wow! incredible endurance!

[@chex1023]

so crazy man ~~u jazz it~!

[@MickeyAbraham2022]

dude, you know your charlie parker!!!! great playing...

[@vibeman27]

Man, that was just great. The B'BOpera Players. Cool. Playing that many heads that fast that quick (or was tape edited (cut and spliced)) is quite the feat. Were you actually playing with the guys or they did the tracks for you to overdub?? Either way, that was quite cool. :-)

[@BluesFuzz]

Great job man! Peace.

[@Jazzeerun]

Amazing. How did you remember those compilations note for note? Brilliant. My favorite is at 3:43 Donna Lee (fantastic)

[@kevinthebeagle]

thanks, guitar is live for the video with a previously recorded band track, minus the gtr part. we learned (over time) the 11 heads as a long run on sentence for our amusement and to see if any pedestrians would hang around listening to see if it ever ends. glad you like it.

[@jorgemusiko]

BRAVOOO!!!!

[@kriebeltjes]

Amazing!!!

[@andreidelabaiamare]

good job!nice playing!

[@Blackcherryjazz]

Great!!

[@nobodady1]

what a work-out.

[@KristoferMerius]

I love blues for alice and Confirmation!!!!!!!great songs!!!! Charlie Parker rules! Did you make the backing track? Great job master!

[@FlyingV344]

omg amazing man

[@Cristoby]

For a moment I thought he had a guitar synth setup... The sync is very tight.

[@thrshr2112]

very nice!!!

[@ugomancia7187]

Monster player... 1 - Anthropology 0:06 2 - Au Privave 0:34 3 - Confirmation 0:55 4 - Dexterity 1:28 5 - Daahoud 2:01 6 - Blues For Alice 2:40 7 - Boplicity 3:03 8 - Drummer's Rebutaal (Donna Lee) 3:43 9 - Four 4:43 10 - Groovin High 5:20 11 - Joy Spring 5:50

[@GtrWizzle]

any chance of getting the backing track?

[@tkearn5000]

Nice job. What is the backing track, did you put it together yourself?

[@NPjazzsaxmusic]

Did you happen to know that Miles Davis originally wrote Donna Lee? charlie parker recorded it with his quintet including miles, and the names of the composers were never corrected on the original recording. very nice stringing together, must have taken a lot of work! do you gig regularly with the backing band?

[@HugeGene]

Yeah.. Yeah, but can you play Purple Haze or Wipeout? (: > O)

[@2miney2]

HELL YES!!!

[@drwinkle101]

Yes, I think he tours in a kind of bebop tribute band.

[@enzmusic]

super, the next 11 you should make a blindfold game.

[@KristoferMerius]

Master!!!!!! =D

[@BernieHolland-w4l]

Good job ! Well done ! You obviously don't waste your time ! But where was 'Scrapple' ? - only kidding - you've posted a great video here worthy of much credit

[@joshhh92]

@Jazzeerun better question is how did charlie!? :O

[@silviobal]

Besides reproducing the lines, were you able to recgonize the elements they were made of , like triads, arpeggios, chromatic aprox , scales and everything else on the neck ? thank you

[@arvh1952]

Bloody Genius... now let it go and go solo...... make it happen..

[@viniguitarjazz]

good !! vinibrazil!!

[@jerickent]

Well, KtheB has done it again. And to paraphrase the Tap, this vid goes to "11". I now have my syllabus. See ya in a few years. J-bone

[@elgranpianista1]

¡¡Que sonido tan trompetero!!

[@ggpop]

"jazz geek"

[@crisbrujilla]
