What a great sound. A nice place to take the 1-4-5. Thank you, David!

[@steveno.8248]

Would love to be able to sit down with you for about a week. I could learn a lot! :) thank you!

[@etiennevanonselen7949]

Thank you, an exceptionally succinct comprehension of music theory, and how to apply it in practice; appreciated, not to omit the reality that you are a great musician too.Respect!

[@jimc6687]

Once again.......David has not just merely cracked open the door into new and exciting directions into playing diverse fingerstyle blues guitar........he's kicked it wide open!! I always loved David's similar examples on his fantastic "New School Fingerstyle" course........especially on his 'Bryant on Six' arrangement but this opens up our fingerpickin' into an entirely new level!! Plus......Once again........love it!! Jim C.

[@FretboardConfidential]

Thanks Jim! As far as "Bryant" goes...more E blues coming, so stay tuned :-).

[@chriserikson9502]

Awesome and masterful stuff -- not just this lesson, but all of them.

[@FretboardConfidential]

aah, shoot - thanks Chris!

[@raydrainville1436]

David, that is so-o cool. Couldn't help smiling as I listened to you play. That is the kind of playing that I aspire to . Thanks again for all of these video lessons. This one should keep me busy for awhile.

[@FretboardConfidential]

Aw, thanks Raymond! Busy is good :-).

[@johnrichard9606]

superb stuff. So much to work on !

[@charlesvachon5838]

Thank You for sharing that ...excellent lesson.

[@FretboardConfidential]

Thanks Charles!

[@jormasoul]

Thanks for a great lesson!

[@rasbydorton1]

Thank you David for another great lesson! I have always loved the playing of Leon Redbone, and this lesson leads down some of his alleys. Walking Stick and the like.

[@FretboardConfidential]

Hey Fred - thanks! If that's the song I'm thinking of, then yes I suppose these moves would indeed work. I'll have to go check out Redbone's version - there's a great one by mandolinist/singer Tom Rozum that I really like.

[@bobwright663]

Brilliant lesson....Davids knowledge on chords and voicings is inspirational top guitar tutor

[@FretboardConfidential]

Shucks :-). Thanks Bob!

[@johnnyfaragher5172]

I love these voicings, which are teaching me the fretboard in a new way. Kudos. Hope all's well in Austin.

[@FretboardConfidential]

Thanks Johnny!

[@sduke39]

Love your channel!

[@FretboardConfidential]

Thanks!

[@bjohnson515]

Going to school....great stuff.

[@RamblinBob]

Nice job, liked and subscribed...I particularly liked how you referenced other famous songs that contained some of those chord shapes

[@FretboardConfidential]

Thanks! Seems it always helps me remember an idea like that it I can fold it into a specific song or two. Plus, more bang for your buck if it works in multiple scenarios!

[@jeffcaldwell2544]

Another beauty, David! Barry Harris, from "The Sidewinder"--too cool!

[@FretboardConfidential]

That's the one! Harris tells a great story in David Rosenthal's book Hard Bop about how - I think it was after that Lee Morgan session, he went up to Alfred Lion's office to see about making a record of his own for Blue Note. Lion declined to sign Harris, telling the pianist his playing was "too beautiful." Asked how he responded, Barry Harris said "I thanked the man, and walked out."

[@Blizite]

Man, I really dig this lesson. You are a really fine teacher and player. I just Subscribed to your channel.

[@scotthyatt5881]

Great lesson--I know what I'll (happily!) be doing for the next month or so! After watching this I went back and listened to your TrueFire tune/lesson Letter to Alfred--they seem to pair nicely. Anyway, thanks, David--and thanks to Barry Harris too!

[@FretboardConfidential]

Hey Scott - thanks! Yes, I suppose they would - similar chord changes, and in the same key with a similar groove, of course. Can't remember if I mentioned it in this lesson, but a quick search will turn up multiple lengthy videos of Barry Harris teaching, and in at least some cases discussing his approach to chord movement.

[@gmanju1000]

Thank you, thank you, thank you David. I'm 63 and your lessons continue to keep my mind and fingers busy. This one, in particular, has really got me excited. Thanks for all that you are doing....keep going... John S.

[@FretboardConfidential]

Hi John - thanks, I'm glad to hear it! More to come, for sure.

[@dangatton7138]

Channel--Things I learned from Barry Harris . thx alot. I will be looking forward to yours and Chris Posts. so happy that you take the time to make us all better..

[@FretboardConfidential]

Haha! Thanks, I'll have to check him out. I've seen a bunch of pretty lengthy clips of Barry Harris master classes, too.

[@dangatton7138]

@@FretboardConfidential ya they are just great and its really understandable

[@phillancello350]

Very interesting! Great Lesson, Thank you David.

[@FretboardConfidential]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@raypalmer7326]

I've been enjoying your videos, working through the examples. I tried to sign-up a couple of times but I don't recieve the conformation email. Please can you help?

[@TheDave292]

That was cool David. Maybe you and I were there in the BH workshop on the same day! I took a few from the master and my teacher was very close to him. The scale tones you used are right out of his dim 6 scale and sound great finger style. I even tried using the DOMINANT 7 dim scale on the E min for a cool finish: xx7878 xx4545 x6757 x3424 x2313 x0223

[@FretboardConfidential]

Maybe so! I just went the one time, and it gave me plenty to think about :-).

[@jbowerman50]

I've seen Barry Harris vids, they sounded cool, but didnt make alot of sense to me. This made much more sense and just changed the way I do a few things

[@dangatton7138]

yes he,s a great teacher I needed 40 yrs ago ! lol lookup ---- Things I learned from Barry Harris for understanding his jazz theories.. David definitely can take your playing up several notches....

[@buddhamus]

Great lesson. I was trying to find the tab for it on your FBC site and didn't see a listing for "Gypsy Jazz Guitar Chords for Fingerstyle Blues". Is it listed under a different name?

[@FretboardConfidential]

Yes, you can find it as part of the Fifteen Grooves pdf.

[@buddhamus]

@@FretboardConfidential Thank you.

[@hunterda0209]

Is the tab for this still available somewhere?

[@FretboardConfidential]

Hi David - I believe this lesson‘s tab is included in the “Fifteen Grooves” PDF.

[@edwardarata6995]

The audio is awful
