This proves that Andreas has LISTENED to a lot of music and PRACTISED for many years. He is a genius when it comes to playing the guitar. For various reasons, I still listen to Wes when I like to know why Jazz is what it is.
Yes , sir. Good move. Reason number 1. Wes is the source. The water is pure. The flavor is exquisite. The mineral content is what your body of music needs to grow strong. All the rest, all the best, Benson, Metheney, et al went there to drink. Start with Wes, and you can't go wrong. Reason number 2. Wes' playing is accessible to the common civilian, and interesting to the seasoned aficionado and player. (As are Metheney's and Benson's musics. Hmm. Is there a pattern here for a career that is rewarding both artistically and monetarily?)
Exactly the way I like it! Traditional harmony and lines and none of those wacky reharmonisations and weird sounds. And above all played with super intention and precision. My man!
Andreas is a remarkably fluid, inventive guitarist who appears comfortable in a variety of styles and excels at playing rapid and coherent phrases with incredible technical dexterity that remain musically coherent and expressive. I'm very impressed. Scatting is an ability to play the notes that you are singing spontaneously. While Andreas certainly could play preconceived lines at times, mostly this skill is about improvising and developing the ability to play what you hear. Excellent.
Eccezionale! Questo chitarrista coniuga tecnica folgorante, bel suono, ottimo tocco, gusto nel fraseggio...e la chitarra Benedetto modello Manhattan è sfruttata al massimo! One of the best jazz guitarists in the world!
I don't care how many people say they've heard this a thousand times - I really like it and that's what counts. Great swing and great playing - makes me want to pick up my guitar and learn some of those lines. Can't say Adam Rogers has that effect on me, however "modern" he may be. I'm not knocking him or Rosenwinkel - I just personally prefer this. And Andreas gets 5 extra stars from me for the cowboy boots and outrageous rhinestone strap on that beautiful Benedetto :-) Great stuff - thanks!!
Terrific technique + good singing feeling. Love this vid' Great! Remind me of another great scatting vid': the "take five" duet with Al Jarreau and Kurt Elling Should go and have a look at it ;-)
@gigwalnutz1 its called scat, and although I'm not the biggest fan of it, it shows how one you are at your instrument, how you well you connect your the music in your head and heart with your fingers. Its actually quite incredible.
That's right, versatility. The Greats always show tribute to the rest of the greats through themselves. All you're seeing here is a man showing his musical influences, and I would guarantee that he would say (Obviously, George Benson) and Lenny Breau.
@awesomewelles90 Well if you read what HendrixcommaMartin actually says "Shows that he's playing what he hears" What you hear in your head doesn't mean spontaneously composed but some melody you've heard before and revisited or personified
you're not getting the reference. There's a series of videos titled something like.. "drummer at the wrong gig", I believe. Watch one of those videos and you'll understand.
Perfect camera guy to call when you don't want anyone to steal your licks.
Camilo Velandia these are benson's licks :D yet good camera man for the aforementioned!
I've stolen some licks anyway :D
Fra Aul me too haha
more than some ahaha ;)
I have the pdf transcription

This guy is flat out killer in so many styles
I have watched two gazillion guitar performances on youtube. Andreas my friend, you are up there chanelling the gods!
Just love Andreas's playing. Total magic.
HE is really good that he can actually sing his melody while playing his melody right!
Exactly the way I like it! Traditional harmony and lines and none of those wacky reharmonisations and weird sounds. And above all played with super intention and precision. My man!
One of the most amazing displays of guitardom I have ever seen.
This dude is the savior of modern jazz guitar!
Fantastic as always, an Immense talent.
