When he plays your jaw drops. I started with Body Talk around 1973. Met him in early 90s and he was so kind and genuine.

I must add to your statement. When he plays your jaw drops, and when he sings you can't believe it, but when he sings what he is playing YOU hit the floor. The man is a treasure.

Georges Benson is a great guitarist who has a lot of competition in terms of speed but where he is above the others is this "Swing" that drives you crazy...in the top 3 of the greatest guitarists in my opinion.

One thing that’s been useful to me is slow things down, learn it inside and out and the speed usually comes after that. Of course, this is aside and apart from improvising, but it’s usually not that hard to build up speed if you know the pattern.

I suggest using a rubber band, having it outside your fingers, so you can do flex exercises in public. You can wave your hands underwater hard, so the density pushes your fingers, trying to move faster. If you put your hand down on a flat surface, holding it flat, you can pick up a finger and bend it back to see how far it goes, and try to increase the range. You can take your hand and let it rest on a surface. Tap your two outer fingers, tap the next fingers, and then tap the middle finger. You can get that going as a repetitious thing. That creates nerve memory so when you are using those fingers on your guitar they have the pattern embedded already. And if you are a player it's just an exercise to stay in shape. I see you as talking more about having confidence in what you play. Are you also singing along?

When Mister George Benson played the Colonial in Toronto, a friend and I hitch-hiked over a hundred miles to see him, ordering tickets in advance. Why? I had just bought a 1964 Fender Stratocaster, and a Marshall stack with effects. I made up my mind not to mention Jimi Hendrix. As a lefty, I was playing my brothers' acoustic guitar upside-down and thought that was easiest way to play, agonizing about reversing the strings. Mister George Benson said I don't have to scrunch up my fingers to play lead on the high strings, and my barre chord finger is covering the bass strings already, if I ever become a jazz player. I wish this was the proper place to describe our entire encounter, and how he walked me onto the stage with him afterwards, incredible!

Not necessarily. I honestly have come to believe over my years of studying Jazz that the first step to becoming a monster player is to stop treating lessons like they are for specific levels, and start trying to pick out any musings that register with your level of playing. If you watch an hour long clinic, and "just" two minutes of that clinic transform your approach to any degree, the other 58 minutes were worth the watch, and even moreso worth a revisit in the future.

I wouldn't call this a lesson, more of a demonstration with a bit of vague explanation and some wonderful story telling. Great artists rarely make the best teachers, mostly because they have advanced to where they're at by focusing on their playing in the moment, and so it becomes very difficult to remember and articulate the steps by which they got there. Teachers make the effort to go back, recall those steps, and break them down in a fashion designed for students to absorb them one at a time. The greatest players are too busy playing to invest time in that, so they just show some flash and tell awesome stories, and maybe the audience can pick up a tip or two along the way. It's still time well spent.

Wow George Benson Killin' it with the Tal Farlow demo. Reminds me of how Jeff Beck could conjure the ghosts of past Greats. Very impressive! George used to say he got the best tip ever from Jimi. He advised maxing out the amp and controlling the dynamics with the tone and volume knobs on the guitar. His argument was that,then, the amp won't ever hold you back Jimi and Jeff Two masters of riding the volume knob.....! Blessings L

You say smooth jazz, Mister George Benson created a new blend of jazz, funk and pop, and after doing that he became the best-selling musical artist around the world for a year and a half. It's not smooth jazz if you try to play and sing like Mister Benson, while all those audience women are dancing all around..

Did not really explain his picking technique but more just the way he moves along the neck. Many have exaggerated the reverse angle of the pick in copying him but it looks more parallel to the strings. Does he use the wrist, or thumb and first finger to move the pick?

It would be nice if George talked specifically about his "under the string " approach and the angle of his hand. Maybe some close ups of the way he holds the pick etc... and slowed down playing demonstrations of a scale or 2. Don't get me wrong - I really enjoy these videos. But there could be so much more shown in more detail. Thanks!

@SRB3ll 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, it would have been great if he’d talked more about his own approach, but the gist seemed to be what his father said about taking the pick, dropping his arm then bringing his hand up to the strings. It seems to fall more naturally into the “under the string” position, the hand is more relaxed and you can vary the pick angle so it almost slices across the strings, which helps with his “bee picking” technique. Now watch the other guy try it, as he brings his arm back up he kinks his wrist so his hand angles down and it looks a little unnatural and awkward. If you’d like to find out more about his picking technique take a look at Peter Farrell’s channel, here he talks about George’s bee picking technique… kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYWph6mCd9mAf7s

Many years ago Tuck Andress posted a lengthy analysis of Benson's picking and why and how he adopted it. It's no longer on his website but a guy named Josh Frets wrote a deep dive about it, adding insights from Sheryl Bailey and the Cracking the Code guy, and those posts are still up on Frets' site and googleable.
