Brett was a private instructor when I was at GIT. Every Thursday afternoon we sit in a small room, just the two of us, and jammed and chat for an hour. Occasionally TJ dropped by and joined us. One day I brought some jazz standards to a lesson, and he killed them! Amazing techniques, ears, sense of melody and above all, he is such a beautiful human being!!!
Bro this is exactly what I was talking about when i commented the other day.. I personally really value the introduction. Thanks so much!! And what a monster Brett is!
Brett is absolute hero of mine, in fact he is the one who brought me into fusion and to AH eventually. At about age of 18 I was a massive shred rock guitar fan, Vai, Satriani were the top on pedistal for me then and I vividly remember that turning point - driving with Dad in his car once and hearing that incredibly melodic and deep almost sound clouds and textures from the Big Sky I was stunned, and then solos happen..man needless to say that was it for me..then goes Mark Varney and all shenanigans. Im still sooo incredibly thankfull for that moment in life.
I took a few lessons with Brett . Amazing player , super smooth and tasty . He deserves way more recognition for sure . I remember talking with Shawn Lane one year at NAMM , Shawn loved Brett’s playing
Incredible technique...The ear tells the legato story,...he is great.. But Ironically, I was astonished at his use of the pick hand..He was using the pick and middle, ring and pinky fingers to pick...He incorporated every finger into the notes being played across the strings.
@SoftserveSodium I'm very familiar with what the technique is called (42 years playing)...What I was taken with is the execution of it in general. Also, most people use the pick and just one other finger (usually the middle). The host/uploader makes it known how impressive he thinks that it is as well.
Thank you for transcribing this, such amazing playing. Brett is such an awesome example of legato done right. He is able to show technique without losing musicality. As a Satriani fan, I realize now later in life how guilty he could be of filling space to bridge his tastier playing with mindless legato flurries that often feel like improvised noodling that doesn’t add much value compared to more thought out licks and patterns. Hearing this example and seeing how Brett handles his more drawn out legato phrases makes me wish Joe would do more of this kinda thing. But in his own style of course. Definitely see a bunch of the garsed influence in Tom quayles playing with the all hammers attack/sound and hybrid picking and chromatics. I think Brett says in an interview that it’s not completely all hammers but slightly picked in places
oooohh my god! i wanted these tabs for years!!! good job!!!! but i think that the best part of this solo is afterwards at the chorus section! maybe a part 2 pls? :)
@@alexnutcasio936 i don't think its a case of being underated as such, just doesn't get the credit he deserves! People don't even realise he played on Dereks first Planet X album!
^^This. And Brett's playing simply shines. I would go so far as to say it (unintentionally) upstages Frank and Shawn. There seems to be a record of Shawn saying that he was never really satisfied with his solos on CF, because he just did everything blind (erm... deaf?), without knowing the tracks. Still, Brett's playing and lines are astounding, the magnitude of the others notwithstanding.
There is a clip on youtube where Bret is jamming with Marshall Harrison in some guitar shop. One of my favorite solos ever, probably listened to it a thousand times (Bret's part, I mean). Fluid, lyrical, improvisation with strucuture and story to it.
Brett is cool. I saw him at a clinic in Adelaide Australia around 2008. His playing was killer. I asked him if he was gigging, because I would love to see him live with a band. Unfortunately he said that there just wasn't an audience for instrumental music. He was cool though, he had the Got Talent gig, as well as John Farnham 😉. Shame not to be able to see one of the best ever play live. Makes me respect Holdsworth, he kept fighting to get his music out there despite the world not giving a sh.t.
Yeah I used to watch him at Spenser's in Melbourne, it must've been just before he pulled the pin on live fusion gigs as there wasn't any money in it, sad really as he's such a phenomenal player. First saw him as a teenager playing with John Farnham, absolutely blew my head off! Been a fan ever since, great to see him still playing like a demon!👌
Guthrie Govan used to play here in Chelmsford every Thursday night with the fellowship. I’ve know him for about 30 years and he was always concerned about the low turnout to see him play, literally sometimes less than a dozen people. However when he plays gigs in Chelmsford now the place is rammed! So there’s definitely hope for live fusion style music in the future.
I’ve only ever really heard one track by Brett. It’s on a compilation album called ‘The Alchemists’ and it’s my favourite track - ‘Bad Luck, Go Away’. This guy is amazing -thanks Levi.
Does anyone know his tune Vein of Gold? It used to be on file sharing sites back in the day, maybe Napster or Kazaa?? Anyway, it’s an absolutely gorgeous ballad, the best thing I’ve ever heard from him. Don’t think it’s on UA-cam…
Yeah... this guy taught me that the actual Legato sound really is like playing the guitar almost like a piano. Like you don't lift your finger until the next one is down. Marshall Harrison is great at doing this too. It's one thing I could never get comfortable with. But it really gives that smooth sound... versus like what I used to think legato was (no right hand... like Joe Satriani style).
Very nice. I love me some good legato. Do you know who’s doing some killer stuff as a young fella (18-19), who I genuinely think is some kind of savant, named Max Ostro. He’s got some mind-boggling legato going on.
When I was a kid in high school in the early 80's (in Bendigo) there were tapes circulating of a band called Black Dog, which was an early band of Garsed's. It blew our minds back then. I'd love to hear it again.
Fantastic player and I'm assuming fantastic transcription 🙂 Two questions if you don't mind: 1. Is there a way to get the transcription in readable format? It's nice but difficult to read on the bottom of the video 2. Did you note also when Brett plucks with his middle finger or is just left to intuition? Bonus question: with reference to this execution, do you know whether he used strict "one finger" hybrid, or maybe even two/three fingers?
everything is on patreon no - it shouldn't be hard to tell, it's relevant when crossing multiple strings, otherwise it's not hugely important. and 3 fingers
Best legato I've seen together with Allan Holdsworth. I can see how he influenced Tom Quail. Allan's technique on pulloffs was different though, as I think Allen just used descending hammer ons. Will definitely check out more of this guy though.
I can absolutely recommend centrifugal funk if you want more Brett garsed. One of the best albums for guitar playing ever imo. Also has Shawn lane and frank gambale on it
Brett use reverse hammer on his legato technique, he explain this on his video “rock fusion”, this solo is an extract from this video and I see Allan on live more than 4 times and i can see he play standard legato
Thanks Levi! I also listened to a lot of Derryl Gabel back then, and Richard Hallebeek. Both great legato players. Richard Hallebeek was so amazing, I don't know what happened to him. I suppose I'll Google for an update. 😀
More Allan Holdsworth!!! Which I'm very blessed I got to see H three times in the early '80s in the New York New Jersey area and one time with Al di meola and I got to meet them both cuz it was a tiny bar gig with just a couple hundred people
Found a great clip from 1986, when John "You're The Voice" Farnham was doing the tried-and-tested introduce the band with solos bit. He was only 23 here, all the more remarkable! ua-cam.com/video/hTkxLX91IS4/v-deo.html Loving the application of hybrid picking for arpeggios- his right hand is so efficient I barely saw his fingers move. I'm beginning to incorporate a bit of hybrid into my playing, as it helps me avoid the straight-up-and-down speed of light sweep cliches
First thing I ever saw of him (a mate told me about him at Guitar Village In Frankston when he was a teen, killer player, you gotta see him!). That solo and the whole gig just blew me away at how good he was & the fact that Australia had such amazing talent like this & thankfully he's just got better & better. He's a great singer too!
he destroys on centrifugal funk. him and gamble had the most insane note choices and intervals, coupled with technique AND originality. the internet if funny because its nice to know somebody else loved that album, but it sucks that those guys were so ahead of their time and arent getting the credit for it. there are so many players on social media that get shine, but arent a fraction as impressive as some of the players coming out of the 80s and 90s. i guess thats just how the world works.
Outstanding ! Thanks for all your transcriptions. Standard notation would open your work up to all musicians. Tab is great for fingerings but still annoying especially when thinking about the harmony?
It’s all notated in guitar pro. I have standard notation, just don’t put it here. But no, it won’t open your mind up to harmony in any extra way. When you see notation and you see a little dot on the page, you have to translate that dot into something that means something to your playing, so you call it “E”, then you gotta know what chord you’re on and what that note is in relation to said chord. Tab is the same. There’s number… but you still gotta translate it to an actual note. Why can’t that be the same as processing a dot as a note? I ask this as a fluent reader, not someone avoiding reading.
@@charlesprovenza3665 as a reader, I only know that note is D because I’ve learned to see that thing and call it D. There’s no reason tab can’t be exactly the same. When you said 5 there, for whatever reason I assumed it was on the B string (probably because that’s closest to D!) so when you said 5 I honestly thought “E” 😂 I will add, this argument is only valid for guitarists. The honest reason I don’t put notation is it takes up too much space! Check my Scotty Anderson video. Hate how that looks 😂
@@LeviClay D is the 5th fret of the A string.....? Realize its a for guitarist "channel" so no biggie but the extra step seems pointless? Now your proving my point you wouldnt be confused if it was on a line like standard notation or a space ( compare D to E) and each line or space has a unique name right? Your channel is a gift please continue!
@@charlesprovenza3665 yeah, but when you said D, i saw D on the staff and where I’d play it, I saw 3rd fret B. It’s still the same thing. Do you think that if you had a line of music notation there’s no tab reader out there who can say the note names as fast? It’s the same thing, a symbol on paper than means a certain note (which in itself is another thing we use to communicate a frequency)
The thing Rick Graham does which really blew my mind the first time I saw it wasn't his speed, it was his palm-muted legato. I never would've thought to try that.
Holdsworth will forever be the master legato player on guitar, hands down, by a mile. And yes, it is hybrid picking compared to sweep, which gives arpeggios a bit of a staccato break from lagato, IMO. This guy reminds me a bit of Matteo Mancuso.
REH Rock Fusion literally changed my life...stopped playing guitar after that! (in a good way)...Brett is one of the greatest of all time IMHO...so underrated.
For me, Vinnie Moore takes the cake when it comes to legato but it's just a matter of preference. Thanks for the great content and for reintroducing all these fantastic players! Would you consider doing a short video on the CAB albums that Tony Macalpine did?
Garsed is too cool. Marshall Harrison also studied with him, coming up with his SWYBRYD hybrid-picking variation, which leads to complete shred insanity.
insterseting notes choice, but to to me, for the legato technique, allan and tom is still the best at it, they have their own signature runs and its lightning fast.
i remember those days of the internet 15+ years ago when it was suddenly possible to "save" all those great instructional videos, i was totally overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of all those Videos available.
You used to be able to save youtube vids. I can't figure out how to do it nowadays. Only thing I can think is apmeysort of screen recorder? Anyone know a way around it?
@@tomgrant6563 of course nobody will answere this question here😀, and i admit i have no idea how to do it besides a screen rec function or smth like that. Back in the day the use of such tools like monkey or torrent was illegal,too. That s why i spend 11,Euros per month to be able to " download" youtube videos , no advertisements and i can watch/ listen to it off line. But i do not really HAVE the data, i cannot copy it or so. The same shit like " buying" a movie on amazon prime. Free access to the content,but you do not have the data. And thats the very bad direcion we are heading concerning data. Everbody should realize how important it is to buy physical books, DVDs,blue rays, cds, LPs, tapes ect and to save data off line/ cloud .Otherwise we are totally depended on those who decide what should or should not be accessable on the internet. With the flip of a switch you might have nothing left...... greetings from germany
@@patrickmckay6621 yep exactly my thought as well. I have youtube premium but have never used the useless 'download' function. If a vid gets removed from UA-cam, (like what happened to all the awesome cesario filho malmsteen cover vids), your download disappears. Greetings from Australia.
Cmon levi, you can’t just throw Garsed out and ask “the best?” We all know the answer to that. And centrifugal funk is a killer album! Glad I got my hands on it while it was available
I personally find Holdsworths legato to be more mind blowing but I think that’s more his note choice and phrasing rather than his legato. but no doubt brett is one of the best ever

His playing on the original Planet X record is also a landmark album for him.

100% - he was one of the 20 artists I covered in my 100 slide licks book.

i remember those days of the internet 15+ years ago when it was suddenly possible to "save" all those great instructional videos, i was totally overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of all those Videos available.
You used to be able to save youtube vids. I can't figure out how to do it nowadays. Only thing I can think is apmeysort of screen recorder? Anyone know a way around it?
@@tomgrant6563 of course nobody will answere this question here😀, and i admit i have no idea how to do it besides a screen rec function or smth like that. Back in the day the use of such tools like monkey or torrent was illegal,too. That s why i spend 11,Euros per month to be able to " download" youtube videos , no advertisements and i can watch/ listen to it off line. But i do not really HAVE the data, i cannot copy it or so. The same shit like " buying" a movie on amazon prime. Free access to the content,but you do not have the data. And thats the very bad direcion we are heading concerning data. Everbody should realize how important it is to buy physical books, DVDs,blue rays, cds, LPs, tapes ect and to save data off line/ cloud .Otherwise we are totally depended on those who decide what should or should not be accessable on the internet. With the flip of a switch you might have nothing left......

@@patrickmckay6621 yep exactly my thought as well. I have youtube premium but have never used the useless 'download' function. If a vid gets removed from UA-cam, (like what happened to all the awesome cesario filho malmsteen cover vids), your download disappears.

Check out his Patreon page! Well worth the money!
Cmon levi, you can’t just throw Garsed out and ask “the best?”
We all know the answer to that. And centrifugal funk is a killer album! Glad I got my hands on it while it was available
I personally find Holdsworths legato to be more mind blowing but I think that’s more his note choice and phrasing rather than his legato. but no doubt brett is one of the best ever
When i saw this, i thought 'no way they're better than Brett!' but i shouldn't have doubted you Levi!
That's not many people who can do 4 nps like Rusty Cooley.
Bret is one of them!
