The only musician in the world that can play like Wes Montgomery is humble enough to say that he can't play like Wes Montgomery: a true living legend of jazz guitar.
George Benson has no equal in jazz guitar. No one can take a stark hollowbody electric, through a stark and stiff Fender twin reverb, squeaky clean, and play with such technique, speed, and precision. Period.
9:27 when he starts playing While We're Young... would have loved to hear him play the whole thing. Fair play to Jody though for using the time he had with him to try and extract as much insight as possible from his approach to playing.
Met him once, talked for few minutes, awesome. Started following him with Body Talk, haven’t looked back. Listened to many jazz greats and his straight ahead playing is unreal. Then add everything else in. We’re lucky to have him.
I was fortunate enough to have met George Benson in person after a "performance" in Minneapolis one night and George Benson is one helluva Classy, Humble, and Gracious guy! Seriously this Dude is a total class act! In every facet...
Where can we purchase your books and lessons. I have been searching for months but I can't find anything. You are my favorite player and I lo love your work and your teaching. Thank you in advance

Hi Milo--There were originally 19 of these lessons but only a few are floating around the web.....the company who has these videos have no plans to release them....
I had the issue with strings unraveling with a set of DR strings. I had never had that happen before but man it hurt especially when you don't expect it.
There were a total of 19 of these videos all covering various topics. I don't have all the episodes so I can't reference exactly what was said earlier. Sorry....
the interviewer should asked George, how did he came out with solos in Affirmation,and other Benson hits..a solo have a technical and melodically meaning for every player..
He has absolute command on the guitar ...FULL CONTROL !
I think George is one of the very few Jazz guitarist whatever he plays sounds musical , unlike others..... Such a great guy
He is a legend
When comes to sounding musical Jim Hall comes to my mind too

The master. And that Ibanez GB model looks absolutley spectacular.
A legendary musician and wonderful guy.
Que placer.
Lo importante no es tocar bien. Hay mucha gente que toca bien.
Lo importante es tocar lindo.
Such a nice and humble interviewer
Love u George benson thanks your gift of music much love always.
Benson is such a master: so musical! Thank you!
That one concept will change my whole approach! Thank you GB!
Two gurus on the guitar what a master class
He could just strum and play little bits. I could sit there for hours and smile. Three hours later I’d feel like only a few minutes went by.
A master of melody!

George is really nice guy to talk to. He so down to earth!
Man, I hope his tour goes ahead next year!
E transition to A flat min awesome
Is there any purpose as to why benson does downstrokes when travelling upwards on the fretboard? Or am i missing something??
What a genius, and a great person
so great,,,,thank you!
Great stuff. Thank you.

Wow, the fact the George uses the words "I said" when he means "I played" (6:01) really tells you that this man truly speaks through his instrument.
