I enjoyed the spread triadic and 7th chord arpeggios that utilised the various inversions. I’d love to see (and hear) your system for learning chord extensions and altered chords with their various and numerous inversions. Thanks in advance! 🙏😊❤️

[@beneunson]

So glad you enjoyed this, Garry. We can definitely get into this in another video! 😀

[@jackcarrolton12]

Wow Ben, this discussion is brilliant. I have always enjoyed your solos over Giant Steps, but this is incredibly helpful to see some of your thinking behind this tune. Also I really love your sound on this guitar, are you blending some of the acoustic sounds with the electric? Great stuff

[@beneunson]

Thanks Jack, I really appreciate it. So glad you enjoyed it - and yes, I'm blending in some of the acoustic sound here.

[@AnthonyShaw-ty9pi]

Beautiful brother Ben!! Just beautiful👍🙏👍 You are such a jazzy, melodic improviser. Love your style. Thanks😊 Ps Where can i find a good backing track for giant steps? Like the one you are using?

[@beneunson]

Thanks so much, Anthony!

[@terrapin323]

Hi Ben, I love your F blues at 340 bpm video! Im studying the 12 bar jazz blues as well Solar right now. Would be cool to see you play Solar too, its such a short form

[@beneunson]

Thank you so much for watching! Yes I could definitely play Solar! 😀

[@josevillasenor9222]

I liked all of them

[@guitarlots]

@@josevillasenor9222 me too

[@beneunson]

So glad you liked them!

[@scottyb3b7]

Great tone! - what is your signal chain?

[@beneunson]

Thanks! Just a touch of delay and reverb here!

[@daslektarn]

Oh thank you so much! Btw what is teh model of the guitar and year production place? VERY nice sound!

[@beneunson]

Thank you so much! It's the Ibanez AM2000H guitar, brand new from this year - Ibanez Prestige made in Japan!

[@yolpanga9281]

Can you give a référence Ibanez guitar please ? Thanks you ..

[@beneunson]

Thanks! This is the Ibanez AM2000H guitar! 😀

[@blueeyedsoulman]

What gauge strings and pick are you using on this hollow Ibanez?

[@beneunson]

10-46

[@blueeyedsoulman]

@@beneunson WOW. That's amazing. So do you role off the treble much? Special plectrum? It's a very plumy sound for 10's.

[@beneunson]

@@blueeyedsoulman Thanks! I make sure that the treble is turned down enough in the EQ, and I boost the mids

[@pyromaniak678]

you played the lick.

[@matthewhendricks7569]

What is that guitar?

[@beneunson]

It's the Ibanez AM2000H 🔥

[@johnhendricks8140]

Wow giant steps sounds alot more digestible slower.

[@beneunson]

Thanks for listening!

[@catecahill739]

Why does all jazz "impro" sound the same.

[@DDeCicco]

For the same reason that other languages sound indistinguishable to you -- because you don't understand the vocabulary and phrasing yet.

[@beneunson]

It doesn't! Just keep on listening

[@bassmasterful]

Tienes razón ... Todo suena igual...
