    first time checking your channel and nice job. First heard Benson around 74 with Body Talk and been a huge fan, seen him many times and spoke backstage, very warm friendly. I've listened to everybody from Martino, Pass, Farlow, Garland to modern NY players and still come back and learn from Benson. He has his critics but few have his technical abilty and creativity, not even including his commerical success over the years. He's impacted everthing I play, country, jazz, rock. Huge thanks for posting.

    The sample you chose to analyze here barely scratches the surface of what Benson is capable of. I would have loved to see a more complex part of this or another performance analyzed, but thank you nevertheless, you've done a pretty cool job.

  • @ukcitizen1158

  • @kpmaynard
    @kpmaynard Před 6 lety +1

    Thank you for the wonderful analysis of this seminal solo!!
    I think the rhythmic repetition with shifting may have been learnt from Grant Green, another master.
    Let me go try to learn some of those techniques 😀

  • @baroqueguitarist5673
    @baroqueguitarist5673 Před 3 lety

    How come nobody is talking about how great an actor George Benson was in the Rocky movies as Apollo Creed ?
    ....And yes that's a joke..... Nobody needs to rush to the keyboard to educate me they are not the same person.... But let ask you.. Has anyone ever seen George Benson and the actor who plays Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) in the same place at the same time ? I think not... lol. Anyway I really wish in the 90s they made a George Benson movie like they did for Ray Charles and Johnny Cash. Carl Weathers who played Apollo Creed would have been perfect to play George Benson. He's such a great actor I can only imagine the absolute gem of a movie that could have been. What a great video, I really enjoyed it. George Benson is superhuman and you hit this breakdown of his solo out of the park. I just subscribed. Great job on this. Best of luck

  • @Dman85612
    @Dman85612 Před 4 lety +1

    One of my favorite Beatles albums is Georges remake of Abbey Road into a jazz album " the other side of Abbey Road " I first saw him when he joined Benny Goodman on a PBS special where they played all the sextet music with Charlie Christian. Benson brought his ghost and you could tell Benny dug him ..probably the same knocked out face he showed that skinny upstart Christian kid after he soloed effortlessly over Rose Room for 26 times.
    George has been a monster player from a young age ...and has one of the greatest voices.

    @keiferreefer1 Před 6 lety +1

    There is only one George Benson, handle w care, like a classic. Yeah, Georges scat really rounds out those leads, gives them a quality they don't have when they stand on their own. George is definitely one of my earliest jazz influences or even wanting to listen to proper jazz that's not overly jazzy to the point you can't relate, even if u r a musician. Then I got into the standards, Oscar Peterson, Joe pass, Wes Montgomery ...etc., I don't consider myself in the same league as George

  • @imbra

    As great as this video is, it broke my heart. I only ever heard one live version of this song, and I thought the solo is improvised and that he can churn out these monstrous kinds of things at will.

    • @richardsorice4509
      @richardsorice4509 Před 4 lety

      I'm wondering if it was improvised the first time and the recording was such a hit that he had to go back and learn his own solo, so that people wouldn't be disappointed in future concerts if he didn't play what they were used to hearing on the radio. Great video, Nick!
