This is literally the greatest series available on KZbin. Please keep doing these and if you lose motivation then please do another series. These are great.

I'm losing sleep watching these lessons and grabbing my guitar at 4 am... this is amazing stuff.

[@Rheologist]

Spectacular video! Of all the episodes I’ve watched so far I think this is the one that has enabled me to make my own licks and actually apply the principles of bebop the best

[@PhishGuitarLessons]

Hey Chris, your point toward the end about using these teachings to create rather than copy is so important and really great to hear. That rang so true. Thanks for sharing this lesson, especially for those words of wisdom!

[@JohnHorneGuitar]

Thank you for continuing to share these ideas! They are appreciated!

[@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616]

You're welcome John. More to come.

Transcribe everything he plays, run them in all keys and registers against the changes. Amazing vocbulary!

[@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616]

Thank you for the kind words. All of the credit belongs to Barry. It's 100 percent his method. We're all blessed that he has spent his life sharing it with us.

Think of the fifth sting on the frailing banjo

[@marcelloestemiele]

7:16 those lines!

[@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616]

Glad you're enjoying Marcello.

Hey Chris. Regarding Barry's tool of running the scales up and down, is this something you still do on every new tune you learn? How do you know when you're done with running the scales like that? I think I understand that it's to get the sound in your head but I feel like there's maybe more to it than that.

[@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616]

There isn't more to it than that. You need to feel how long each change lasts for. Running the scales are a great way to do that. Once you got it, you got it. The next step is to be able to play phrases using those scales and still staying in time .

[@azomyte]

@@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616 Got it, thanks

[@johnrothfield6126]

I think you could use ghost notes where the half step go

[@alexd.alessandro5419]

At timestamp in 10 minutes 30 seconds on the D7 you're using two half steps is that because you go from F sharp to G and G is the 4th ; counting as two half steps?

[@iregbeyenaugustine3125]

Please am watching from Nigeria l love your guitar work but I can't see your fingerings on the guitar, please play it slowly and show me the tabs

[@davisworth5114]

I hear you talking a lot of theory but your playing is less than inspiring. Am I missing something?
