You are most welcome!

These are priciples. Thanks barney, RIP. These what I need for years, n barney tell it all... Once

A really essential video for anyone who wants to learn jazz guitar. I'd put this right at the very top out of the 10,000 "How To Play Jazz Guitar" videos and books I've seen. Barney really knew the guitar, and made some of the greatest jazz guitar recordings ever. Not to mention his extensive career as one of the top session players in the business.

Thank you for your kind words. They are appreciated.

Now that we've learned...... yes, give me a few years and I'll get back to you 😆

Two of the jazz guitar greats were from Oklahoma: Charlie Christian, and this man

I’ve just gotten back to guitar after not playing for 5 years (I just had my first lesson last week) and Barney Kessel is one of my musical heroes. One of my goals is to learn how to play jazz guitar just like him!

This is excellent, thank you so much 😊

Glad to hear it!

After teaching this lesson I can hear many many songs that utilize minor major 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th (funk does that a lot especially with the bassline grooves) Thank you sir!!!

Thanks for posting.

Great lesson.🎸🎸

A great guitarist and a great teacher as well, which doesn't usually go hand in hand. Barney was the real-deal, musically smart as anyone, aware of the structure and theory of music, but a balls-out creative force at the same time.

Something else interesting to consider, especially for guitarists. Although not mentioned, you will notice, we always show Barney's right hand . The technique he uses is something worth studying, whether for single line or rhythm playing. As well, through the tracks that he and Dave are playing for you to jam on, you can also see the rhythm styles as well as the chord voicing being used. Even though these are not taught as part of the lesson, each is a valuable study on it's own. You could study each video simply with that in mind and learn even more.

!! Thank you so much for this suggestion I have tried to focus on his left hand fingerings since I had watched the previous videos talking about chord-formation which is really helping me a lot! I would re-watch these great series again and focus on his right hand! Thanks for mentioning this!!

That is why having videos available is so amazing. If you only had a book, you would never get to see the unique methods great musicians employ to get the sounds they want. Keep practicing!

It seems like Barney uses a lot of down-strokes pickings on previous videos ! Does anyone know if he has ever talked about that technique?

Look out George Benson!

Charlie wrote a lesson for Pete Townshend... and sent it. Pete was overjoyed.

great video:)) by the way can I ask how many series of Barney Kessel lessons are there?

Rumark Video It would be great if you could put all these on DVD. I’m grateful that you are putting them on KZread, but I like to have a DVD to play on my TV, the same way I do with all my other Jazz guitar instructional DVD’s. I swear...if you put them on Amazon, you’d clean up because a lot of us know how good Barney’s lessons are. We just don’t want to be tethered to WiFi and KZread to watch them all the time.

Did not know the guy could sing as well

He reminds me of Bob Dylan.

Fifths sound like this: (proceeds to play fourths) Kinda funny, but great video, anyway! Barney is one of the GOATs.

@@vecernicek2 Well, quite simply, a 4th can sound like a 5th -- it's all based on the voicing. At its most basic, a chord, which is a cluster of notes, may be rearranged ("voiced") many different ways to yield different tonal colors. The pianist, Bill Evans, had a unique gift for piano voicings -- as exhibited on Miles Davis' "Kind Of Blue" LP. Of course, on piano there are nearly limitless possibilities, but on conventional guitar, one is limited to the 6 strings. Jazz guitarists' strength in supporting the harmonic foundation of the ensemble has always been from his/her ability to spontaneously "feel" different voicings. Jim Hall may be one of the finest at this (check out his duet LPs with Bill Evans).

@@pacz8114 I understand the concept of chord voicings/inversions. But here, fifth refers to an interval, not a degree in a chord. If you invert a fifth in a chord, it's still a fifth. If you invert fifth in an interval of a fifth, it's a fourth.

wait a second. those 5ths were 4ths no?

@p.n__

Жыл бұрын

They're 5ths if you think of the 5 as being the low note and the 1 as the high note. So inverted power chords
