Upper Manhattan Medical Group - Billy Strayhorn | Solo Guitar
Got hip to this tune last week after attending a jam here in SLC. Decided to make a little comping arrangement. This style would be best suited for playing with a bassist (duo/group) as I left a bit of space in the bottom end.

After witnessing Bruce Foreman play at Utah State last year I inspired to arrange something more in his style (Barney Kessel/Charlie Christian).

Very well played
Hi Chris! You just made my day! I have for years been very fond of Barney Kessel and his incredible guitar mastery, and the sound of the triads have fascinated me. However, I never really tried to figure out what he was doing. And here you come with the clear explanation. I thank you and will really start practicing. By the way, have you by any chance pdf files that show what you (and Barney) is doing?
Thanks! I don’t have a pdf but I just had the TAB/staff for each example in the video. I do have a guitar pro file with all the examples (same order as the video)
This briefly sounded like Stairway to Heaven...
Thanks, Chris, for the reminder how great Barney was. Great video, kudos.
Awesome!
Many Concise Playable Super Tips. Used a lot Sinatra (Both), early fifties crooners (like Bing), break intros for drummers like Krupa and Rich, Wreck Crew - Tommy Tedesco. Can be used for any smooth jazz or blues licks, modified like Clapton!!
This also works great in the context of gospel and r&b, 4ths too
❤ nice..tnx
Nice info and presentation of some really good musical ideas. Thanks very much.
Really appreciate this video because its so informative and it makes the feed on my home page feel healthy haha. Please continue and dont rush to water down content
<3 means a lot!
What do you call that?
The first shape (with low E in the bass) would be an Em11 (notes: E B G A D F#) but changes quality as you move it up the neck Major7/Minor(b6)/Lydian. Pretty useful “chameleon” shape.
thats a cool guitar i like
sick
Doesn't the original harmony make it a lydian lick? Of course we can stick it anywhere that accepts those intervals
Yes yes
Really dig your videos. Love the video game references! I’ve been wanting to learn more licks and this is inspiring.
I will be working on this for sure . Thank you !
I F'ing love Barney. Great video.
How bout some Stan (Getz) solos and tips on them (I know I should just be figuring them out by ear.)
I just figured this one by ear hah. I just try and chunk the solos into little sections, but especially attach the licks to the harmony so I can apply to my own playing
So cool.
Barney Kessell and Herb Ellis played the King of France Tavern here in Annapolis, Maryland a lot for a long time. Herb actually lived here in town for several months. I did FM radio shows early-mid 80's with a focus on Afro-Latin jazz and fusion. I lost count after about 10 the number of Barney and Herb gigs I went to. I wanted to do a live telephone interview of Barney. He took about 45 minutes to tell me why he didn't have 10 minutes for an interview :) :) :) He's always been among my favorite guitarists. Thanks for this enlightening show, man.
Ahaha what a guy! And thanks! Had fun picking apart this little concept from his playing. Might make another Kessel video here soon!
May I ask how you know where to play with each key? Kindve a dummy when it comes to music theory haha
Pickup a baptist hymnal and it's all thirds. No swing though :)
Mariokart 😂🎉
thank you❤
Kessel with charlie christian pickup has the most delicious bassy tone!
Thankya sir!
Sick! I’m learning double neck pedal steel and this approach is (chef’s kisses) the way to approach bop. I will be practicing, thank you!
Oh dang! Pedal steel is such a beautiful instrument 🥲 glad to help!
Well done!! Great context/application!! How about sixths? Please and thank you!!
You bet! At least with Kessel, his approach on sixths is a lot more limited and he hardly played more than a bar. There are a handful of licks that I have found though! Might work as a little lesson in the future ;)
Great job!!
It kinda sounds like the simpsons theme
the reason more guitarrists dont do that is cuz it sounds prissy dated and easy lissenin' oppressive
K
WTF kind of comment is this....
@@erickochenderfer9870An oppressive comment, apparently.
@@erickochenderfer9870 dont you like being oppressive, .. what.. too woke now?
@@HABLA_GUIRRRI Stop being cryptic. What are you attempting to convey?
Very good lesson. Clear, practical, well presented.
Great lesson! Love Barney's playing. Thirds make the lings sing more.
Thank you for such an amazing lesson. Please continue sharing such contnet! :)
For sure!
Great material and great tone. Are you using flatwounds?
Thanks! Nope, just some daddario nyxl with wound third. 12s I think
dudeeee instant level up thxxxxx
wlcm!
LOL. It is, but only if you're ready for it. Sounds like you've been studying and practicing. Great job.
I lav u crischun
Finally a channel with memes,vocabulary and fun lesson! Keepo going love your channel
Thanks!!
great video Saludos
Barney Kessel was probably influenced by players like Dick McDonough, George van Eps and Allan Reuss, who were all important acoustic guitar virtuosos of the swing Era. They were exceptional chordal soloists. On Electric guitar Oscar Moore of the King Cole Trio is an important influence of Barney's to check. His solo on the trio's take of The Man I love uses thirds and double stops extensively.
Thanks! I need to check those guys out!
Reminds me of Johnny Smith.
do you have to beware of minor thirds ? can you just play the third relative to the note your playing or do you have to mind the key?
Gotta keep it in the key so you have to be aware of minor AND major for each lick. A lot of them just slide chromatic shapes but yeah still need to play both
Diatonic thirds should do the trick 👌
Thanks to Christian for sharing Barney and his ideas with new people! Barney would be very happy!
For sure! And thank you for inspiring me to do so!
@BruceFormanGrumps He'd play it cool though.
Really good stuff
1:26 Reminds me of the Mii Channel theme
Totally is 😅
Why don’t players do this? *Proceeds to reinvent the wheel* 🙄🤦♂️
Key word: “more”
I prefer 3rds and 6ths
Seems like a great way to add some extra tone to lines. Also a nice stepping stone for learning chord melodies.
Great job. Have you ever heard of Skeets McWilliams? I think he was a contemporary of Kessel.
Have not!
@@christianstrums Skeets was a Chicago jazz guitarist who retired and opened Skeet’s Guitar Shop in Jackson, MS. It was THE place for guitar players in the area-myself included.
@@sideman7117 Sweet! What are some of your favorite recordings?
@@christianstrums I’m more of a jazz-flavored blues guy. Stormy Monday, This Masquerade, Please come home for Christmas (Eagles & Charles Brown), most of Robben Ford’s work-but in the jazz world, I like Wes Montgomery and Howard Roberts.
Killer lesson….much thanks for this
Super good thank you very much
