Brett Garsed - Slam Bam (HD) 

It's so wild to hear a player of this caliber talking about guys that he idolizes, how great they are, how much better they are than him, etc. What a truly humble and enlightened individual Brett is. The first time I heard him I was like "holy crap, who is this guy?" Awesome player!

The first time I saw Brett was back in 1986, when he was John Farnham's guitarist. He played this frikkin awesome solo on Let Me Out. He was all rock shedding back then. That solo still amazes me.

The fact alone that Brett can conjure that tone from (essentially) a Tele puts him at 'legendary status'!! Such a humble guy, as well as a subtle, tasteful, harmonically astute player!

Simple little brain. This guy has blown my mind more than any other guitarist. Pretty damn humble.

This crazy bastard just keeps evolving! Damn!

Bret has been one of my favorite players for many years now, it goes without saying that his style of playing is just Other Worldly. This particular lead on this song are beyond the level of just explaining the lead. God bless any of you that have this kind of skill. With Mad Mad Respect.

Couldn't agree more Phil. It has become evident to me that Brett is happy to give all he knows gratis to everyone on the basis that he feels he owes his skills to others. I cannot think of any other guitarist with such humility and understanding of what it's like to rely on others for their knowledge and then the challenge to adopt and develop and then adapt to their skills and eventually end up with a totally unique technique and talent as a guitarist. Steal, Copy or Imitate him he gives me the impression that you do so with his blessing. The guy is a unique treasure in that all he thinks of is passing on his knowledge as part of a wider legacy to the guitar playing world. God bless you Brett. You use simple language and demonstrations and I learn more from you than any of the other supposed virtuosos, whose "lessons/Tutorials"!! are clearly not concerned about anything other than self promotion .

I heard this guy on the compilation Guitar on the Edge trading leads with T.J. Helmerich. Can't remember the volume number. I love his tone. And of course the notes he plays are unique. Really beautiful. I also like the guitar he's using here! :D

Playing right in the pocket while effortlessly phrasing such variety, really demonstrates why he is among the best players!

Please, bring him back!!! I love Brett's music!

I was lucky and privileged enough to get some tracks from Brett himself .. what an honour ..

Brett is the man, so tasteful wow!

Bret Garsed is one of my top favorite players, that legato is a delightful experience. In a fun note, i love how this piece reminds me a lot of Gran Turismo 2 simulation mode menu BGM haha...

Mindblowing!!!! Brett is the master of taste!!!

Legend

brett for president!

Brett never loses tone, even when shredding. What a tasteful playing! ...I especially like him on a telecaster like on his Big Sky album, still one of my favorites.

That phrasing!!!

As of now.... 0 DISLIKES.... Exactly as it should be. All is right in the universe.

Love Brett's playing

so humble!

The King!

Good to see that old Tele is still around mate!!!... brings back memories from GIT 20 years ago😄, if I remember, didn't have the ESP logo on the headstock back then, it was blank

He is the reason i listen to Nelson ! Amazing player criminally underrated.

Fantastic! Love it!

What a beautiful person and terrific player :)

WTF!!! Wow, awesome!

Brett is one of the top 10 guitarists in the history of the instrument. His humbleness is a bit silly as like Bach saying he wrote a couple of small tunes over the years

Hey, what a great video. Thanks.

The best guitar player that not many have heard of .. I been singing his praises since the album exempt .. the most remarkable soloists of all time ... check out his solo on Loch Rannoch ... unbelievable!!!

Sick!

Such a good guy brett

really amazing play!!

Amazing

Allan Holdsworth Shirt . Super cool

Wow...that was awesome. Cool I found my new guitar hero! All the way from Down Under!

so rare to see great guitarists speaking about other musicians with such modesty. I have tabbed Brett licks and I'm glad if I could entice others to listen to him. Thanks for sharing. www.gerardferini.com

So sick!

I will follow this guy until I break my fingers

Sick

Scotty Anderson is kind of a beast. Holdsworth. What can one say? Gatton... tons of country players doing fancy hybrid picking. Brent Mason. Brett totally copped that hollow midrangy Holdsworth tone. So musical.

Garsed such a Superb grounded humble player

Wow!! Where can i buy this?

Is he saying he uses A altered scale (super locrian), 7th mode of melodic minor over a static D7 chord? If so it sounds really cool.

Perfect 👑 🎵 🎵 👑

Amazin' Blazin' Brett

*I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E!!!*

He spends all that time talking about others.. it he's so great!

Wow. Cool to hear that Brett's a fan of Wayne Krantz.

So fuckin' good ❤️❤️❤️

Love this tune. Getting a Jeff Beck meets Allan Holdsworth vibe here

Wow.

Jesus H CHrist. He makes it look so easy. Bravo Brett!!!

Kia ora from over the ditch. Damn okker go you good thing.

Players: Put on 1/2 speed and STUDY THESE RIFFS!! even if it takes you a week

One person "accidentally" didn't understand this 😂. On a side note..that was awesome 🙌

Where you get that shirt? I want one!

damn damn it...

one word W O W

Slam bam thank you mam.

Jaysis, this guy's good.

Anyone know where to find original recording of this song? Which album?

I like how good Mr. Richard Gere can play the guitar.
