Barney Kessel Chord-Melody Style: Lesson 3 - My Short Melody 

We're so lucky that cats like Barney Kessel and Joe Pass made these kind of videos for us mere mortals. They really help unlock that wonderful style of Jazz guitar and make it feel attainable.

Thank you for helping to repair the world through your work and your intelligence

What a great instructor! Also he could be a perfect Wes Anderson character

Very helpful. Joe Pass was fantastic at incorporating thirds and octaves into his solos.

These are the best lessons I have ever seen and heard.

Everybody I know loved and admired Barney, without any unkind word spoken .i spent many an afternoon looking at beautiful guitars up on the hill in his shop in Hollywood

this is pure gold!!

I can't believe these videos don't have a million likes 😢 this is gold!

Tip for anyone trying to play the Fm11/C (sub. for Bb7) @ 12:26, try fingering the C and F with the middle (doublestop), semi-barre with the index across four strings from the G# to the high F, then the D# with the ring and G with the pinky.

great, great lesson

Barney you justified your existence greatly. Rest in peace with the God of creation.

Goodness that ending etude is quite the pinky workout, with the Gmin11 (sub. for C)

Classic!

That s like old 80s Kung Fu instruction videos 👍

That's awesome! Thank you! Do you have a playlist with all the videos of Mr. Kessel?

One dislike? Who's the clueless stiff?
