Five stars! Beautiful composition by Barney. As a long-time fan of his playing, there's many more examples like this of his great musical taste and virtuoso improvisation skills.
I’m really interested in the way that he saw the guitar, how he understood it and how he navigated it. so far from what I can see is he really understood the arpeggios up and down the neck, and played a lot from those… being a self taught player, knowing that he was one too.. I’m really trying to figure out what his approach was
This is excellent… I really want to be able to mix my GJ into the blues I play , and this is such a great resource. There are a lot of teachers on RU-vid, but I’ve gotta say, I’ve learned more from your content than just about anyone on here. Thank you Yaakov Also wanted to ask if you would do a video like this for minor blues… that would be super useful
Hey man, I'm trying to develop my Jazz and Jazz-Blues Soloing Vocabulary by learning Heads & Solos. I wonder if you could give me some suggestions. If you were my teacher, what would you prescribe me!? I've learned Parker playing Billie's Bounce, Now's The Time, Au Privave. I then learned the solos on Chitlins Con Carne - Burrell; Grand Slam - Christian; Cool Blues - Green; Four on Six - Montgomery; Borgia Stick - Benson. Can you give me any suggestions for next steps please?
This is James Banks and I want to let you know this blues salsa that you have me learning is absolutely excellent and I thank you very much and just keep the lessons coming and this is how I will communicate with you through through RU-vid and I'll let you know when I got this blues salsa mastered and I'm also looking up all the chords to the c minor 9th f minor 9th The 7th flat 5th g7th sharp fifth in the c minor 9th
