What did you think of the lesson? What topic/concept do you want me to cover next? Let me know in the comments!
Great lesson thanks will practice ths. FYI you have a spelling mistake in your superimposed text for the steps - Step 3: Secrect - should be "Secret"
@@fredblues4250thatâs my mistake, sorry for the typo đââïž
I love some of those jazzy lines by the Steely Dan guys (Denny Diaz, Jeff Baxter, Larry Carlton). Love the lines in Bodisattva, Gold Teeth II, Kid Charlemagne.
Great presentation
So smart, itâs frightening.
Iâm an old guy that played in clubs for years, went to Jazz college, and worked my little studio. - Blows me away!
Hi Chase, thank you for making this subject so accessible. I donât want to open up old wounds but, I was horrified by Peter Farrellâs rude and abusive comments to subscribers on his channel and explained that not one penny of my money is going to him. Naturally, he deleted my comment, the subscriberâs legitimate question and his godawful graceless reply. Thank you for making GBâs music accessible to all in an intelligent and professional manner.
Thanks Mike! It's my pleasure to share these ideas and techniques I'm exploring with you đ
Iâve very briefly considered using Peter Ferrell as a gateway to George Bensons methods and techniques, but his massive ego also deterred me and I decided it will never be worth it. Wonât get a dime from me, or many musicians for that matter. But with his attitude he probably doesnât care which is also fine I guess.
You and I appear to have come to the same conclusion independently.
Could you imagine trying to navigate the occasional administrative hiccups when purchasing lessons/courses? I just know heâd be an absolute pain in the arse to do business with. đ€Ł
@@williamhumphrey1084 thank you for your valuable contribution. Feel free to ask a sensible question of PF and brace yourself for the liquid shit of a reply. Sorry for any offence taken, but proceed with caution with that ghastly tool.
@@williamhumphrey1084 All cool with me. This channel is a superb resource run by an extremely friendly and chill gent. Happy practicing.
Way better explained than in this Peter Farrell guy's channel thanks so much! The real deal !
Glad you connected with my explanation!
that's because Peter Farrell wants to sell a lesson where he explains all these chips, and Chase explains without trying to make money on every finger movement. Thank you, Chase!đ !â€â€
Peter suddenly feels a shiver as GB material drops but not on his channel.
Great job man you donât need to prove what youâre talking about your playing is outstanding!
A disturbance in the force đ Thanks! I said prove, but I really mean more of a demonstration of the concepts đ
Cool Concept! Nice to see a new video. I'd love to see a video where you show a 'typical' lick to play over common Jazz chord progressions that are in loads of tunes.
I second this excellent suggestion đ
Thanks for the suggestion Jamie!
I like how this guy presents his stuff.
Thanks!
Woooooow. Chase, great to have u back. Great lesson. I love it.
More to come! Thanks! đ
Thank you man!
Great to see you back Chase !!!
Thank you!
I know I've said it before but man, I really love everything about that guitar. The look, the tone, it's gorgeous. I'm sure it feels just as awesome.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
Glad you enjoyed the lesson!
Great video. Makes a lot of sense. I studied the William Leavitt Berklee system and could never work out why I never came close to playing like guys like George Benson. Now I known why.
Glad it was helpful!
Superb lesson!
Thank you!
Great, Chase !!! Thank you man
My pleasure!
Great lesson, neatly done.
Glad you liked it!
Man ! This video is amazing !!!
Thanks! Glad you dig it!
Really GREAT lesson!
Glad you think so!
GOOD JOB, WELL DONE
Thank you!
Excellent lines and explanations!
Thanks Tyler! Hopefully you found it helpful!
Yeah, thats what I'm talkin about. đž đ„
Thanks for watching! đ€
Beautifully explained and demonstrated. Very insightful and helpful. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great info, and a well done video. Kudos!
Thank you for watching!
Thank Chase.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome work brother đ
And to you! đ
I can't stop praising it enough: this class is fantastic!!!! Thats pure George Benson sound/High level Jazz guitar !!!!!
Thanks for your support! Glad you liked it!
Good afternoon. Great to see you again. Two of them guys you associate with your new teaching program, personally, I would strongly recommend your listeners to check out. Of course your teacher. As I mentioned to you before, I got hip to him during the pandemic. The other guy is Rodney. Very likely he wouldnât remer me. Suffice to say we played together. Also have a very funny story of him and from the days he was Dizâs guitarist. He was real young then. The other guys I donât know them, but if they are bunched the two I know and recommend, itâs a monster lineup!! Will keep checking on you, Bro. Stay Blessed.
Great to be back! Definitely check out Dan Wilson and Chico Pinheiro! They're great players and people.
Thanks, Chase. Your lessons are always amazing! I like that you introduced the idea of related chord arpeggios. Iâm traveling without my guitar, but will be home later today to try it out. Canât wait. I think the âwrongâ (outside) notes are the spice that makes jazz sound so awesome.
Awesome! Thank you! When I say âwrongâ notes I mean that they donât fit the scale of the harmony, not that they donât work or sound good đ
@@ChaseMaddox absolutely. Straight âcorrectâ diatonic playing tends to get a little monotonous. Thanks, again.
Beginning jazzer.... great way to establish good habits. Clear explanations.
Thanks! I've got a bunch of lessons for a beginner jazz player too on my channel.
Iâve been steam rolling arps in similar fashion for a while now. Sometimes
I think of it as too gimmicky, but I keep on doing it lol. The finger symmetry is definitely the way to fluidity. Thank you for validating it.
Keep steam rolling! đ
Better be careful Peter Farrell will be getting his lawyers on to you đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Hahaha đ
Jazz music makes me have to think too much to try and play. I am an ear player but it sounds great
IF that works for you. - fine - coming from harmonically expanded R&B [ which means closer to the beat hard swing ] [ Brecker / Benson ] type time feel - I alternate all the time arpeggios / lines / skips / much easier on the brain - people ask about sweeping and assume I must be but I am not.
I love George Benson - the most passionate of all Jazz Guitarists and a musical genius .
But just remember time feel is enabled by your picking not caused by it.
So IF you can get the sweep thing natural without thinking about it - fine.
We can have some fun challenges...when I debut some 'new music.'..
I like the Musicality of your playing and concepts ..and interpreting GB ...
But picking - has to be ' wreckless precision ' .Thoughtless.
Hi Chase, love your site. Do you ever cross into rock like Matteo Mancuso? Wonderful jazz player, then he goes off playing metal and hard rock. Itâs pretty cool and surprising. Iâm sure you can.
Thanks! I actually do more gigs in the rock/blues/funk genre than jazz.
Thanks for the lesson. I canât find the link to the pdf for this lesson. Could you place at the top of the links please? Thanks!
This PDF (and all my lesson PDFs) are for members of Chaseâs Guitar Academy đ
"What topic/concept do you want me to cover next?" How to make a song from a short melody you've made up. (if not covered already)
When you say "how to make a song" do you mean how to harmonize the melody? Or how to turn a melody into a full composition?
Sweeping down the arpeggio isn't so hard when you get the hang of it but sweeping up is very difficult, which I don't think Benson does so much, that's more of a Gambale thing. I usually sweep down some arpeggios and play some more chromatic bebop scale Martino kind of lines going up.
so what you're saying here is, George Brunson is a geniu is almost superhuman. and let's be honest most people are not gonna be able to play like that ever. And that's George Benson his prime. And sure that's a little different than what you can play now. But
The observation that music sounds different when you played fast versus slow as aconcept concept because if you play something wrong kind of ignore or not depending on what you play so it's a experiments and sound.
Total geek question: what pick are you using here? Thanks so much!
Fender Heavy picks
fast, fast, faster is all that matters now..
Typo: Secrect Approach
đđ
Thank you for the great lesson! 1:21 You play very well in this demonstration, but the drums are completely drowning you out. Friendly suggestion: Lower the volume of the drums in the mix.
Thanks for watching! Mix could probably be better đ€·đ»ââïž
@@ChaseMaddox Mix levels are fine. Good lesson
Does Benson actually sweep arpeggios?
He sweeps on ascending arpeggios all the time
How dare you use the name GB, that belongs to me. How dare you use the term "fast arpeggios' that belongs to me, I copyrighted it. How dare you say "play", I am the only one who can PLAY đđđ
You're funny, man. đ
