Your alternate picking technique is interesting. I'm working on something similar myself. Do you have a video on this alternate picking technique?

one of the finest young players i have found. this guy is the real deal. there are so many imposters on youtube. add to that he doesnt waste one second of your time.

[@Stringprodigy]

What planet did you come from?! This is mindblowing stuff!

[@alejandrobrito5139]

Man you are probably the best teacher i've found in the internet, keep posting we will apreciate it.

[@GeordieMac]

You're theory knowledge and technical virtuosity is absolutely mind- boggling. Your lessons are the most captivating I've ever seen. Clearly you've put an insane amount of work in. Congratulations. I honestly cannot even fathom how one reaches your level. Totally. Blown. Away.

[@RobbieBarnby]

Thanks so much for the kind words, really great to hear you're enjoying the lessons! Lots more to come!

[@guitarbust9418]

Dude, he took lessons-(watched and learned) from Guthrie Govan can't you hear it?

[@albertaguitarguy]

@@guitarbust9418 I kind of wonder that myself.

[@weslipscomb4766]

I was expecting something I could do... I'm getting hit with what I feel like is guitar math, but secretly it's like the hidden formula for being dope. I don't know shit about music theory but your stuff is definitely something I am adding to my repertoire to make some killer stuff with. Thanks bud.

[@sagus_mage]

That’s some of the best lead playing and phrasing I’ve heard in a long time. Not only is the content great, but you have the musicality to elevate it even further. Very nicely done sir!

[@RobbieBarnby]

Thanks for the kind words, that means a lot!

This is incredible. This is my second of your videos and they are two of the best lessons I’ve ever seen on KZbin

[@opsjesse]

the arpeggio exercise video was incredibly helpful in its straightforwardness. what a joy it would be if a similar video was made approaching the concepts in this video in that same, practice-drill context

[@Flying_turnip187]

Great lessons! I am starting to get into jazz guitar and bass. These lessons are right up my alley.

[@raktim369]

Sweet!! Triad pairing is such an amazing concept.

The pursuit of excellence personified; brilliant & thanks for the post, I'm in. I've played around for ages with the Barry Harris b6 and, ok, it's interesting but coming from a blues background this is much more emotive. And you play beautifully, thanks again.

Thanks! That’s kind of you to say, glad you’re enjoying them.

[@rhesreeves5339]

First time. I'm smashing. Great level to challenge yet easy to understand. Showing the sheet music is helping me take the theory stuff I understand and finally learn how to read and write music so I can get to that next level. I hope you post much more.

You so effortlessly illustrate theory. Thank you

[@rockinzhu7998]

在中国，把知识的传授分类道、法、术三类，Robbie的课妙就妙在讲的是“法”，是练习的方法和原理，一集视频的内容就可以练习很久，从而内化到演奏，而不是只有具体怎么弹的licks。谢谢Robbie!

What in the?!?! This guy is unbelievable.

[@AlexVonCrank]

Very cool concepts dude. Love to see some of your picking theory as it pertains to note groupings. I’m seeing you use all sorts of approaches and I think that would make a great video.

[@RobbieBarnby]

That’s a great idea for a video! I’ve definitely spent a load of time experimenting with different picking approaches and odd note groupings. I’ll be covering that in great detail in future videos for sure. Thanks for the comment!

[@michaelhamm2271]

Robbie, your lessons have not only helped with my own music and improv adventures; they have helped me as an instructor, as well. Your control of the instrument is so pro. You and Tom Bukovac, although coming from different areas of playing, are, for me, the best teachers on KZbin. Keep up the stellar work. Please, let us know when you drop an album. I’ll hit your Patreon page🙏🏾

Thanks for the kind words. So great to hear you're enjoying the channel and that it's helpful!

i thought i knew it all...but this actually never occured to me. So simple, yet effective and so many possibilities. Your presentation stye is great and coherent, you obviously know your shit and you don't post for the sake of posting but rather have fully worked out and though-trough content. Very much appreciated. Keep up the good work.

[@SergioPgarcia123]

Awesome clases!

[@binhnguyenquoc9747]

What a treasure for me! Thanks for your video!

[@RobbieBarnby]

My pleasure! Thanks for checking it out.

[@Channel-io1di]

Thank you for making lessons for people who don't need to have the major scale and how to tune their guitar explained. Hard to sit through most youtube lessons that are for even for advanced players but start with fundamentals. But how the hell did you get this good at such a young age? I mean, it's just insane. You must have diligently practiced and studied for as many hours as I've been repeating the same stuff. Even just to spend the time to make this video with the written out excercises and the graphics, pretty impressive, man. Thank you.

[@voronOsphere]

Amazing Lesson! Thank you!!!!!!

[@willychi9315]

What a channel! Really amazing thaksss

[@notlikeNeo]

You really are an alien,man! Never ever did I think there would be so much hidden information inside these notes and the way you connect everything blew me away! Also you are faster than the cheetah on a speed boat daaaamn wicked playing :)) Thank you,If you can keep these videos coming! :))

Oh God it's really Awesome

[@archinsoni1254]

The best content for learning guitar. Although the videos are limited but the quality of content is exquisite. I'm someone who knows a lot of modes but has no clue how to apply them This video is perfect. This sound reminded me of Dorian #4 And locrian natural 2.

[@nedim_guitar]

Harmonizing every second note is an interesting concept! I will have to try that.

[@rockeye]

Musical, informative, and exploratory.

[@jersonvieira7924]

Man I don't have words (even in portuguese) to express my gratitude for these lessons. You are doing a really great job. Thank you so much!!!
