thanks Rodrigo!

FINALLY....someone i can resonate with. Great video. I'm 52 and just picked up the guitar. I've always been frustrated and undisciplined. That changes now. I'm gonna learn how to noodle before i leave this planet. Most appreciated. Always appreciated George Benson's sing-a-longs. Thanks again.....Peace!

Yeah... agree... Sing it.. play it... Especially teaching your kids ...if they can sing it that's half the battle... then try and get them to play...👍

Priceless information for someone who can't even focus on lyrics because I only hear the words as a melody.

There is definitely something to this. Barry sings all of his phrases while playing. So did Bud Powell. Great lesson.

Thanks! Yeah, I've watched clips of Barry saying "Bird said this" and heard you talk about it too I think - which is really the same as saying "Bird SANG this..." - all about playing with intention, from the inside out...

Helps with imagination too, instead of just going to the guitar you can sometimes sing a run or a set of notes before transferring it from your vocals and then imagining and placing it on your guitar

Van Morrison also does this very well… In the Forest 3:45

This is the video I was waiting for. Awesome!

Very true, I play the flute, but it works well to form the words, any words to get sweet sounds and melodic. Z

Really great tutorial. Thank you !

this is a huge part of learning the guitar that people barely talk about so thank u very much for bringing it to light this way

You are my hero man! I really enjoy your work!!!!!!! Thanks...

Wow this is fabulous stuff! I've heard it said before that if you can hear it you can play it. This is a great way to train to make the connection between the brain and ears to your fingers.

Such an underrated video and lesson

dude thank you for the ideas! 👏

Great examples of players who really connect with the instrument, instead of just playing patterns. It really adds the feel and emotional attachment to the notes being played. I ask myself, WWDGD “what would David a Gilmour do “? Much appreciated Gary, thanks.

You really makes great inspiring videos, thanks :)

wow!! That's so awesome to hear. thank you for sharing that!

Great advice..

Great lesson. I bet the majority of guitar players are too self-conscious to sing so we put all of our creative energies into signing through our guitars. What you're showing here is how to do both, they are one in the same. And if one is really uncomfortable with others hearing them sing, turn up the volume of the guitar and sing and then over time reduce the volume of your guitar to let your voice come through. Our voices are what make us unique and isn't every guitar player "trying to find their own sound"? We already have it :-)

Your are the best😍❤

Love this! So need to learn this. I “sing” musical ideas constantly but have no good way to record and express them yet. I have always connected with many of those guitarists for the same reason you mention. Going to work on this. Thanks!

My apologies if I’m a bit late to the party, but when I was 4-5 yrs old, my dad taught me slide on a 1 string ukulele. Relative Pitch is guaranteed! (It worked for Jimi - yes, dad was a Hendrix nut) Trust me, it works at any age. All the best, good sir/lady.

Scat Man love it🎸

te amo, sos muy bueno

This is what I've been looking for all my life I was wondering how you did that but I do baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba

Thank you for this great lesson. I have been told that I am tone deaf for many years, so how do I make the connection from my vocal sound to hear (my ear) the right pitch and try to hum with it ( I think this is more of a singing lesson). Thanks again. I am more of a visual learner so these and your other lessons are a great help. I need to learn to hear with my ear along with my learning to play the guitar with my fingers. My appreciations.

Darren Lu thanks Darren! Doing simple Ear training exercises will help and then just singing any lick you learn, and singing and playing simultaneously - also singing something simple and then trying to play it - basically the things I did in this video but keep it super simple - just 1 or 2 notes at a time and go slow!! Have fun! Gary

Jesús if i hear another blues lick

Sing through your guitar 🎸

Thats what the ol blues players did cause they couldnt afford but two or three strings....
