Hello from Kansas City, Missouri. Barrett, I got your Chord Tone Soloing book when it first came out and I have to say it was and still is the best instruction for Chord Tone Soloing that can be applied to any style. Your a Great Guitarist and Teacher. Thanks.
Hi Barrett...just recently found you, and going through some of your lessons. Am wondering, could you do a couple of sessions which are gear related? One to go over the equipment you use in some detail, and another one to cover recording, maybe? Both would be really helpful and popular. I'm sure!
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.
Well thank you, Rich. I hope you have a lot of playing in your life as well. I'm sure you're smokin' now, given about 30 years to process the tsunami of information you get at MI!
Great video, Barrett! It's timely for me as I'm mining Robben Ford's "Blues For Lonnie Johnson", actually trying to learn the whole thing, it's kicking my ass but isle get there.
Awesome lesson Barrett! - I have played both Bluegrass and Classical for a number years but just purchased my first amp and an old Epiphone DOT electric guitar about a year ago - I know all my Pentatonic and Mixolydian scales - but my triad skills do need work....this lesson has helped me improve my soloing skill set through the use of Arpegios - great lesson - cheers mate !!
@@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!!
Killer! Barrett, this sounds great. Your tone is believable and your licks are as good as what Robben played. You sound just like him in the intro, to me. My homeboy Paul Simonton turned me on to Talk To Your Daughter way back in the mid 90's. It changed my whole view. I dig the somewhat more sophisticated changes. Jazz flavored progressions, and such. At heart, I was born when I heard Eddie Van Halen for the first time. And when I wanted to improve my playing, Robben inspired me. Thanks for the video!
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!
Bach was the OG. Then maybe Charlie Parker. Robben plays like a student who just read the textbook. That's why he's great to learn from -- because it's so clear what he's doing.
Hey: just stumbled onto your video here. Very nice. Also very nice is the time you’ve gotten. Very much Ford’s time. May I ask how you’re getting it? Sounds great.
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
Yes, the arpeggios are shown directly above the chord shapes in Chapter 8. First are the triad (3-note chord) types: major, minor, augmented, and diminished. Then the 7th chord types: maj7, dom7, min7, m7b5, and dim7.
Thanks. 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 a speaker emulator running in the computer: MixIR3. It's very good, worth paying to get a good IR.

Awesome! I am currently working my way through your chord tone soloing book and I am starting to see some great improvements. Is there a possibility to send you a private message?

Wow, great playing...and great to see you again! You were one of my GIT instructors in 1993-94. Happy to see you're still playing :-)

Yeah Barrett! Fantastic tone and playing. Robben Ford!!!! Help the Poor!!! Let’s play it and I sing it
You got it! You will sound great on that!

Holy cow !! I never heard you play that style before, awesome!!
Thanks Terry, glad you like it! This is how I sounded when I was young, with long hair and attitude!
I’m glade I just found ur channel ! Thanks for great lesson !
thank you for watching, Live!
Man, I'm so glad I've found you here! You were my instructor at the Aim in Vienna back in '95. Great memories! Great playing as always!
Thank you very much Alex. It's a pleasure to hear from you and I'm impressed by your accomplishments!
Got that steely Dan vibe
Juat found you book on ebay. Its on the way tge chord tone book. I notice several more.
you are really just so good
Such a beautiful tone! Can you please shed some light on what pedal/amp you are using Barett?
Thank you Ash. I'm glad it sounds good to you.

Barrett, you haven't posted in a while. I hope all is well. I love your books and instructional videos.
Aw, thanks man. I'm ok, just busy with a lot of gigs lately. Hope you're doing well too!
I have this book 🥰🔝

Does the chord stone book have the arpeggios shapes including the guitar chord?
Yes, the arpeggios are shown directly above the chord shapes in Chapter 8. First are the triad (3-note chord) types: major, minor, augmented, and diminished. Then the 7th chord types: maj7, dom7, min7, m7b5, and dim7.
@BarrettTagliarino thanks for taking your time to reply
Great sound as well!! Which amp or pedal do you use for this?:)

Hi, how do you account for that tone? What amp / pedal?

What does "O.G" mean? Suddenly I am seeing that acronym everywhere.
I think it stands for "original gangster."

really nice playing, this is probably a youtube thing but your guitar volume almost blew my head off, and voice volume is really low
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
