Thanks for your patience, Dino. I've been playing out and recording a lot but I can fit you in! Use the link at monsterguitars.com/contact and we'll set some lessons up. Thanks again. - BT

@@BarrettTagliarino Thanks, I emailed you.

Thank you. I should spend more time talking about dropping these into a line over a progression. Basically if you're in a major key they work over most of the diatonic chords.

@@BarrettTagliarino you may like these podcasts. they are very interesting about Jazz from the 60s-70s www.youtube.com/@thestickpeople939

I watched the Stanley Clark cast last night..

Thanks, I had fun doing it, and hope you do too. It can be pretty impressive when you do it live.

@@BarrettTagliarino I have done it live adjusting the time until it just sounded right, with some success, but to be able to know it in concrete terms, properly & accurately to get it right every time is the way to go. Thanks to you I might have a chance now!

Barret’s playing is inspirational.. not from a technical or logical standpoint - he seems to know how to keep us listening.. best wishes to you, professor!! Keep ‘em comin’!!

@@BarrettTagliarino thank you! I’m really looking forward to getting stuck into your Jazz book

Hi Tim, I did not make a book about this. It's from an instrumental, "Catalina Flyer" : th-cam.com/video/eHD_k17Cw44/w-d-xo.html

Here you can see it played: th-cam.com/video/hZNO2s5Nzrs/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for watching and I hope you have plenty of time to play and practice. It takes awhile to sink in.

I went to school for it, but with tuition rates these days I'm not sure I could afford it now! I'd recommend getting at least a few lessons from a private teacher. If you have a regular practice schedule and can stick to it, it's possible to teach yourself. I made a workbook for it that starts off really basic and spoon feeds with writing exercises: www.amazon.com/Guitar-Reading-Workbook-Barrett-Tagliarino/dp/0980235308 For your question specifically, start by counting out and memorizing these two-beat eighth-note rhythms, one at a time. There are sixteen rhythms in all. This is the basic 8th-note vocabulary: monsterguitars.com/grw/eighth_note_vocab_table.png

@@BarrettTagliarino thanks for the response Barrett!

Hi Harry. Thanks, I might do that but it'll be a short video because I'm not really much of a gear-head. I just use a good tube amp whenever I can, and push it if needed with an overdrive pedal like a tube screamer or similar. You'd laugh if you saw my pedalboard.

@@BarrettTagliarino The simplicity of it might actually be appealing? You use reverb and delay to an extent? You do show quite a few pedals in your header! Does the load box get used for live playing as well as into the PC for TH-cam? Any differences between attenuators that you are aware of? Are there smaller amps that you like - apart from your 100w? Thanks if you can cover these kinds of areas.

Thank you sir. Those dot neck Epiphones are a great deal.

​@@BarrettTagliarino Yeah, I was looking for a used Gibson 335 and came across this old Epiphone DOT - a quarter the price of the 335 - a really nice guitar to be sure - keep up the great work on your TH-cam channel!!" Cheers!!

I'm not experiencing that here but I don't doubt you. As you say there are many variables with youtube.

@@BarrettTagliarino I think it was just the opening solo, the rest of it was pretty even

Thanks Dino. I try to keep track of video comments, so you can let me know here if you have questions or run into a snag.

That's great, man. If you do get it down, make a video and come back and link here so I can hear it.

Thank you Suria. I hope you have a most excellent guitar day.

Definitely!!

I think it stands for "original gangster."

It's a 100-watt tube amp turned up loud but no speaker---the speaker jack is connected to a Suhr reactive load box. I don't think I was using any pedals but did have an impulse response speaker/mic emulator running in the computer: MixIR3. It's very good, worth paying to get a good IR.

@@BarrettTagliarino Wow, I will try my best to replicate

Thank you Ash. I'm glad it sounds good to you. I don't think I was using any pedals. Using a Dumble-style 100-watt tube amp made by my friend John Kelley Brown, turned up enough to overdrive, with its speaker output plugged into a Suhr reactive load box, with an MixIR3 (Impulse Response) speaker/mic emulator. EQ makes a difference too. Not too much treble. I start with every tone knob on 5 and then look for a nice little bite to the sound.

Thank you for your informative reply Barett! The tone reminds me very much of Jon Herington's live guitar tones. Makes sense that it's only the amp overdriven sound, it's so organic and rich! By the way I do own a copy of your Chord Tone Soloing book, spent hours studying it! It's a great book!

Thank you! Glad you like the video. Maybe in your question you mean "tone" instead of "time," the more usual question. The tone here is a Dumble-style 100-watt tube amp made by my friend John Kelley Brown, turned up enough to overdrive, with its speaker output plugged into a Suhr reactive load box, with an MixIR3 (Impulse Response) speaker/mic emulator. You could get close with most good tube amps. But if you do mean "time," then that's a more involved process, learning to read and feel sixteenth-note beat division and practicing that in various ways with a metronome. I wrote a book about that called "Rhythmic Lead Guitar." www.amazon.com/Rhythmic-Lead-Guitar-Phrasing-Groove/dp/0980235324

This thing is amazing.

Wow, Zig! nice to hear from you! We gotta talk!

Yes

Nice work, Charles! Congratulations!

Thanks Shawn, and a happy new year to you!

Thanks! Frank made it easy.

Love it! Thanks for getting those books and working with them. Great that you enjoy the process. Have a great holiday full of music!
