That guitar tone!!!!!!!!! ... WOW

Thank you for including tabs, sharing and the work that went into producing this.

That’s Beautiful D Angelico. Had a 335 style one that was turquoise. Beautiful guitar. Played it at one gig and I was tuning every 5 seconds.

Thanks for letting us know your musical background and your delivery is most insightful and fantastic in a relaxed confident fashion .Love it!

Very cool. Love the chill, methodical way you broke that down. Thanks for the lesson.

Great knowledge & playing. Good tone too. Thank you for sharing!

Great lesson, great playing, and what a tone! I learned something from this. Thank you 🙏

Great video! This lick also stunned me when I first heard it. Robben has always been a huge influence.

This is great. I love these analyses and how important a particular phrase was. I've got a few myself. I'm glad I found your channel.

This lick blew my mind too, thank you very much for the explanation!

Fabulous lines!

Your licks are so clear. Very nice.

Dude the tone is killer! Love Robben Ford as well. Great lesson.

You are the reason I wished I’d taken Music at university instead of Geography. I know where I am in the world but not on the fretboard.😞

You can do it. I graduated a few years back with a drama degree and huge regret that I hadn’t done music. It wasn’t an easy journey but I work as a freelance guitarist and tutor these days. Keep pushing !! Believe in yourself

Cool lick and great breakdown of these complicated concepts.

After 30yrs as a Rock hack, never attempted a jazzy thing. So, thank you for initiating a noob... beautiful tone, and lesson.

Clear thinking. Love it.

Smokin Andy. I first heard him on a sound system in a record store in Texas in 1982 with the Yellow Jackets. I was like a hooked, been a fan since. You play very well and love the guitar. I have two of them myself, great instruments. Thanks for the great videos.

i love that recording! and that lick too!!

This was so good and so insane! Thanks!!

I have too many saved videos of guitar techniques and lessons of outstanding Guitarist on KZread, but I've finally found the right channel for me and what I'm trying to achieve in my play. I'm definitely watching everyday.

Awesome class! Thanks

More of a mature style. Exactly. Amazing lesson and thanks so much for not playing that one played out blues box over and over again. That is so tired. Again, amazing lesson.

Wow, that's a cool lick to emulate. Thanks

That is indeed Robben Ford...Nice job. Robben is my favorite Blues/Jazz player.

Beautiful tone.

Great amazing player and instructor. Truly masterclass!❤🙏

Beautiful. Great work. Robben's playing is SO attractive!

Wonderfully well explained

Great job!! Thank you for this!

Robben is one of the GOATS. A channel that dissects and teaches Robbens stuff? im in! awesome work dude

That's sweet, I respect your honesty

that's a very interesting analysis, thanks

Beautifully explained Andy.

Beautiful playing, very good lesson. Been a working musician all my life but never stop learning. It never ends. Played this great tune many times, but not with some of those voicings. Thanks

Wonderful lesson!

Superb analysis of the theory behind the lines!🙌🏻🙌🏻🍎

One of my favorite guitarists. Came across his music in the late 80's. An early album that Robben is featured on is Tom Scott's- 'Tom cat' album from the mid 70's.

Great Job, thank you so much!

Oh yes, this tune was my gateway into jazz blues. Turned me on to John Scofield.

That guitar instructor that can teach you anything - Andy

Sometimes you feel you are stuck in a particular rut and every time you pick up the guitar you play the stuff in different places on the neck! I find playing more complex chord sequences that change keys and then trying to solo over the loop until you know it inside out helps you discover new things. Great easy to understand video.

totally! I hate being in ruts. Sometimes just trying things completely opposed to your typical style is another good way to get outside of those ruts. I was disappointed when I went to your channel that you aren't the woman in your pfp lol... Is that a Bond girl or something? BUT, you have a Fender Lead 2! I was considering getting one over a strat player. Should I, or would you say just go for the strat? I already have a Casino and SG if that matters. Also the PRS silversky is supposed to be pretty nice... choices, choices.

@@JunkBondTrader Ha! Hi! That’s Britt Eckland! She was indeed a Bond girl. Regarding Lead 2, it’s a beautiful guitar if you already have a Strat but it’s pretty bright sounding and has only 4 voicings with the two pickups. The Lead 3 has 2 humbuckers and 7 voicings. The Player Strats are excellent, same neck is on the Lead series, but what kills them for me personally is the 2 point bridge and Pau Ferro instead of Rosewood on some models. I’d say try them all out if you can. Let your ears decide! Regards…

That progression reminded me of something Tonino Horta might do. Like a bluesy version of "Mountain Flight". You just surpassed "Scuttle Buttin'" on the 'to learn' list.

Whoooooweee that run at 0:23 is it!!

You said it. Blues is great to learn the guitar, but if you want to move forward, jazz is the ticket. 👍👌😊

Nice!

Great lesson. For an indication where this jazz idiom emerged from have a listen to 'Conception' by George Shearing with Chuck Wayne on guitar. It's a 1949 recording and still sets a high bar today for any guitarist.

That D’Angelico sounds great, I know it’s more you than the guitar, but I’m impressed!

Very well described and a great sound 👏. I think that Larry Carlton did something similar with his solo on Kid Charlemagne - sounds like it anyway.

I love your music and what you are doing here. I happened to see an interview with Robben Ford where he said that he learned jazz chords from the Mickey Baker jazz guitar books, which I think shows in some of his choices (e.g., the Am11 to A♭7♭5, which is one of the first things we learn in that book). Guess Who guitarist Randy Bachman was a student of Lenny Breau and Breau used the Mickey Baker books in teaching Bachman. You can hear the jazzy influence in "Undun" (a.k.a., "She's Come Undone").
