"Through The Fire”, Fingerstyle Guitar, Chaka Khan, lesson available

[@loganradd2]

As a very, very, very, mediocre guitar player, I watch a lot of videos by players of different styles and skill levels. Your playing of songs of differing styles is superb. I enjoy them tremendously. Especially this one. Your take on it was excellent. Continued success to you. I will be checking out your CD.

[@Peteyno01]

Awe inspiring. This is a seriously complex David Foster composition made to look totally effortless! Has to be one of the greatest guitarists I have ever encountered. Brilliant!

[@JakeReichbart]

I'm here listening to this year's later. This is the best guitar cover. Sounds like your playing bass, lyrics and chords...all at the same time. Amazing

[@fatguymx]

Jake I just want to say how blessed I am to have been watching your videos for years. You are very inspiring and are a true master of the guitar. I have always been interested in fingerstyle, but having size 18 ring finger and former football player, it leaves me with regular chording as a rhythm guitarist in my church as well as my band. You are truly one of the greats in a world of commercialized wannabees. I have been showing my wife and two daughters (5 & 3) your videos for a while now and let them know that this is MUSIC and how a guitar is the tool that can make it. Jake, I tip my hat and you will always have fans in S.C.

[@JakeReichbart]

Wow, thanks so much! :-)

[@ntandongwenya]

The way you're handling that fretboard is admirable. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JakeReichbart]

Thank you!

[@ntandongwenya]

Don't mention it. Well deserved.

[@renotitawano1407]

Truly amazing the way you handle your guitar. I've been playing the guitar for quite some years now. In an era of modern computer-created music, it's a true relieve to hear and see someone playing the guitar the way you do. Very inspiring! Thanks!

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks very much!

[@iamorange25]

i listen to this video all the time... its one of my favorites... the way you render the song is very relaxing...

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Very style full,interesting arrangement of a beautiful composition with a nice melancholic undertone. fantastic chosen chord-voicing accompanying the melody. Jake you always surprise me man with your great style and taste of Music. Fantastic playing, cheers Vic.

[@ironmonger100]

Like your other subscribers I think I'm running out of adjectives to describe the treatment you give to a song - any song. Beautiful voicings there and so, so musical. And in F! Man, I'm taking my hat off to you here.

[@SoloGuitarist1]

Jake, That is an amazingly technically complete arrangement, five stars! Thanks for posting this gem. Best Regards, Carl

[@danbergamondo]

I can't believe I missed this video! I just love that song and the way you've rendered it is just beautiful! One more thing: looks like there's no chord fingering, no matter how much "acrobatic", able to stop you to make your ideas become sound... I can guess all the years you spent studying, practicing and playing, playing, playing, with so much dedication and passion... it shows its results, man! Thank you for sharing!!! Thumb up + fav.

[@danielcharlesdevries3694]

Dear Jake, I accidentally came across your music. Being a guitar player myself (bass guitar my main type instrument) I now apply some of your techniques on the bass. Man! must I say what an inspiration. I also try to play the guitar like you and another one of my favorite guitar players Walter Rodriques. You guys turned my music world upside down. Why? because I am left handed and I work hard at some of the difficult stuff you guys posted. One day is one day, then I'll come over there and play some music with you.

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks very much! :-)

[@NaughtyNomadFitness]

Think I saw this video a few years back and still the best version online. Absolutely adore this version it just makes me feel magical wonderful things and fond memories. You sir are a musical genius and I salute you!

[@masqueradesinger]

Awesome !!!

[@Travelerspath]

Wow amazing Jake! those familiar sounds of this particular song Through the Fire , one of my favorites of yours, befitting once again. That first chord, what a stretch? only you make it seem so effortless. thank you thank you!

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks very much!

[@mdolson1031]

WOW! This is awesome! I am so glad you decided to put this on youtube. I've had this song going through my head ever since I saw you play it at the Earle. Great job!

[@smilinjack11]

Hi Jake - Another gem! Really captures the feeling of the song! Keep 'em coming! - Jack in San Diego

[@stringbender57]

[@TaiwoHollist]

So beautifully played. Nice one!

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks!

[@cdf964]

Just amazing! Such beautiful sounds/chords you make here. Always make me smile when I come back to re-listen to your version of this. One my "all-time" fav songs. KUDOS!!!

[@igy2008]

Jake, not only you have great arranging skills, even more importantly you have great taste in selecting great tunes. In todays commercial music a good melody supported by nice harmony seems to be a luxury few young artists can afford. By the way,,,,I am still waiting for some Weather Report....... I know it will come. Keep up the great work.

[@OWENZBOYZ1]

This guy is the real deal!!!

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks very much, please feel free to share! :-)

[@zapantalambda]

i just admire your guitar playing / showmanship or whatever it is called sir. the way i describe it its smooth, melodic, teasing and therapeutic. =) i wish i can be as good as you sir. i wanna know bebop and jazz coz i believe if i know those things i will have unlimited knowledge on chord and rhythm patterns just like what you are doin. you got a wide library of chords. i wish i knew jazz. i envy you sir. i wanna be like you. please post some more motivating videos. thanks.

An hour and 20 min long widescreen DVD lesson - also downloadable - on how to perform this arrangement, and much more, is now available!!! Every note and chord is shown slowly and in closeup. No online store, just email me at [e-mail] to learn more!

[@cici-mama]

Jake Reichbart thank you. I’m mesmerized.

[@babinm]

Did you start thinking in terms of chords and melodies and the bass later? Did you write this out listening to the recording and put together bass and melody first adding the chords later? Whatever process you used you nailed INMHO

[@JakeReichbart]

Thank you!

[@zapantalambda]

how do you remember all these chord movements? so complex and beautifully-sounding.

[@JakeReichbart]

Thank you, just habit…

[@chipispowdercoatingcharles8444]

This is really good

[@PSTAMPSJR]

so nice!!!!

[@cdf964]

I have always loved this song. That is the most beautiful instrumental arrangement I have ever heard. Absolutely beautiful!!! Loved watching your facial expressions and those amazing fingers stretching out reaching those chords. Great job dude!!! º¿º

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks!

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks! If you're in the Detroit area, come see me live, I play out often.

[@sunaJH]

[@vijayshripal5068]

i love you and your music

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks very much!

[@vijayshripal5068]

i want a joind for your guitar class.

[@Musicmyvideo]

Go Jake, Gr8 jazz thanks

[@mysterybat35]

@jreichbart I see you are using a lot of jazz chords, the way you stretch your fingers but is this guitar tuned to standard tuning? Or does it sound that way because of the strings/pickup you use? It sounds sorta like a ukelelle -- im sure I'm not describing it correctly but this doesn't sound like your normal jazz guitar..the sound sounds "tinyier" or something. I just can't pinpoint what it is tho. would you mind explaining? I'm a guitarist and I like learning new things. excellent playing man

[@Anight7mareX]

Could you make a tutorial of this? Also, why do you have painters tape over one pickup?

[@vijayshripal5068]

i like your tune. and you also jake. but i want learn guitar with you jake.

[@joc2550]

you need more subs!

[@JakeReichbart]

I wish...

[@cmpeej]

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@zxcvbnmidko]

[@megnon22]

wow this is really excellent, may i know what is the tuning sir?

[@JakeReichbart]

Megnon Hubert Thanks very much! Standard tuning.
