Solo with CASCADING OPEN STRINGS
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มิ.ย. 2024
- Start using the beautiful sound of the guitar's open strings in your modern improvisations! I've put together a system for recognising the scales which can make use of the open strings.
Open strings are commonly used within different styles, from cascading country #guitartechniques to harmonically dense guitar voicings. This concept allows us to explore ways to get the open strings into our vocabulary so that we can use them for improvising and for single note lines.
This is a super fresh approach for your #jazz solos, lines, and musical language. Apply these techniques to more modern sounding #harmony and it will definitely take your guitar playing to the next level of sophistication.
The open strings ringing is truly a beautiful sound and one which is pretty unique to the guitar... so let's use them!

Your videos are sooo good brother! 👏😁
Please make more. 🙏😁🔥
I especially like the Barry Harris material!
Perfect playing Thank❤
I leave my guitar dusty and rusty for over three years, because my hand is broken by motorcycle accident. Until i found your channel...Dang! Your channel make my guitar sing again. Thank you for bring back my spirit again. Thank you Robbie. I subscribe.
Your videos are some of the best learning materials I’ve seen on TH-cam, sooner or later this channel is going to blow up 👍
Thanks for the kind words and your support!
His material has helped me more than anyone else’s. Sure I learned basics from various people but his lessons bring everything together in a way I can understand. He’s a gangster fo sho
You're playing is unbelievable and your production is really good in your video
Thanks a lot!
Since I've gotten this phone I'm constantly amazed at what's available for one to learn with it. I taught myself to play by ear in the 60's. So while I understand the concept your explaining, I will need to listen to this A LOT. But, I had loads of fun watching and listening to you. Once I even had to laugh in enjoyment! Thanks, you're doing great and inspiring work.
can someone be too good? astonishing playing and your ability to organize and express your ideas so cogently is equally amazing. and yeah-love your production quality.
Breathtaking beauty from the first notes. Man, I would love to hear you in a band or orchestral setting with you as the composer and arranger. I know you would be magical because you are a great virtuoso.
You're definitely challenging my capabilities..but that's the way to learn and improve ..it's the best..Thank you
This is where I want to be. Really appreciated.
Robbie, your videos are stunning! The ideas, the content, the production...amazing! And you are presenting new ideas, not recycling old ones. I really hope you get the following that you deserve. I'm confident that you will.
Thanks so much for your nice comment. I really appreciate the support!
Country guitarist are wonderful with open strings! Great place to get ideas! 💡👌 🎶😊
Yep, Ive looked into country style, sounds like mashed potatoes, they give you licks and solos but this shows you exactly whats going on so you can incorporate it and use it anywhere, good stuff.
The 'modal' chord voicings you finish these cascades with are stunning. Would love to see you do a video on this!
Yes!
I love people who apply guitar mechanics like the open strings or tapping to jazz guitar, it's super rare (except for Pat Metheny and some others!).
Now, throw a capo into the mix and you'll get tons of open string & harmonics possibilities! Flamenco guitarists do it all the time. I'm using a capo on the 3rd fret to play Resignation by Brad Mehldau.
you sir are criminally underrated the playing and production value is ridiculous
I just saw Isaiah Sharkey the other day say he tries to learn how to do all the things a piano player does so his vocabulary is prepared for call and response. Can’t let a scale ring like on the piano, but wait we have these open strings... He played a scale with open strings and I thought man that’s great but a ton of work to figure out every scale you can do that with. Robbie with the hold my beer and the win.
That's a beautiful sounding guitar 😍😍.
Particularly when Robbie plays it.
I’ve never seen one with that inlay, similar to Pat’s early Gibson. ( Birdland? ).
Just when your senses are numb from getting the s.o.s.o. you come along and shows what patience and dedication to the arts and how unending mastering the guitar is. Guitar is the sweetest sound instrument in the earth...lol
Great stuff! Something that Pat Metheny does really well.
Sounds great bro !
Your jazz is so smooth and cool !
It's very generous what you are doing be blessed 🙌
Thanks a lot!
You are a brilliant player and a fantastic teacher. You’re knowledgeable in spades, and your application of harmony is breath taking, so much, that your technique is an answer, that harmony is the question. That’s not even mentioning, the creativity and excellence of the videos. Bravo!!!
I’ve been working on that idea since 2007, but I’m weak on the
Musical theory. But you opened up the door for a lot of ideas for me.
Thanks so very much Robbie.
That’s great to hear, thanks for watching!
This name for this approach, at least in my sphere, is campanella fingering. Campanella meaning "bell", referring to the way bells all ring over each other creating little tone clusters. I'm pretty sure it's a technique that originated in Baroque lute music, and it's something that classical guitarists have adopted for playing fast scale passages in the music of Bach and other Baroque composers. I've used it tons of times in that context. Applying it in a modern context is a great idea, and it's definitely worth practicing.
There's also a seven-string instrument that originated in Russia around the time the six-string guitar came about in the rest of Europe. Interestingly, it's still just called the guitar, but it's tuned mostly in 3rds. As a result, there are TONS of possibilities for these kinds of fingerings.
Wonderful, really fascinating info! Huge thanks for sharing and for checking out the vid.
Absolutely beautiful! Bravo!
Excellent lesson and playing.
Good grief- so much work is put in to every single one of your vids. I hope you are being compensated somewhere for all this effort- this is a very high bar for production, content, and technical ability. Well done.
Robbie... just when we think it can’t get any better... 🤷🏻♂️ hit like for production values alone let alone the killer content. Killer.
Yeah! It's like add jazz and fingerpicking. Great!
My God, Robbie us the best creative guitarist

That’s the first thing I noticed! Now, have you any children lying about? Your channel gives me the same feeling as when I bought, The Advancing Guitarist. Overwhelmed... but hopeful. Bravo!
there needs to be like 5 million more views on this....

You really understood how to make a great looking b roll, turn it into an intro and getting into the great tutorial... I’m glad I was there from the start!
Thanks a lot! And thanks for being apart of the channel!
oh yes! this really is excellent Thanks for these hints and tips
So useful!!!!
Thanks for your innovative approach! I've discovered the beauty of this open string concept quite a time ago. And it's powerful and applicable unless in the key of Db! However, it's seems to take another lifetime for me to really implement it into improvisation over chord progressions...
Brilliant. While just beginning to explore what you've presented I noticed right away, as you say, the clusters brings out sounds the guitar is so perfectly suited for -- almost like a sustain peddle on a piano. Also, by sheer accident I noticed open strings can be passing tones and other non-harmonic tensions. Great guitar-concept lesson. Ted Greene would have been impressed. Thank you for sharing this.
Wow beautiful! Thanks so much. I have my work cut for myself.
F minor pentatonic (F, Ab, Bb, C, and Eb) with the notes A, D, G and B added will give you a F Dorian Bebop scale. Although it's tricky with cascading runs, essentially any open string pull-off/hammer-on lick that you would do in the key of G will work in the key of F too. Thanks Robbie, love your material!
love it brother.
Simply the best content on TH-cam. I'm learning what I always wanted. Besta teacher. Greetings from Brazil.
Your Playing is Ridiculously Awesome. Damn!
dude, youre a monster... like WOW MAN ! cheers mate, thanks so so much for this
This is exactly what I was looking for. I love the sound of open strings ringing. Thank you.
Thanks for checking it out!
I'm so glad to have found your channel. Binge watching for days. Newer sub and fan.
Great work man!
Well. That's just ingenious!
Really great lessons and concepts.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot!
What a well produced video. I sure hope YT is making it worth your while to exert all this effort.
Outstanding! Man, you're amazing!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
If I just keep watching this guys videos often enough sooner or later I might be able to figure out what he's talking about and absorb and perhaps apply some of this stuff one day .... 😝
Hei Barnby, you're the number one. I am 50, and I discovered guitar again. Thanks
That’s wonderful to hear! Thanks for your nice comment.
Love this, mate, thanks for sharing! I've also been exploring some open-string sounds of late, but mostly only chordally and not nearly as systematically as you have here, which is brilliant. But you've definitely provided lots of wonderful information here to keep me busy for a while. Cheers!
So good!
Great tone
Thanks!
Its very interesting! I had the same idea, putting a capo on the 1st fret. The whole world of the b keys open up for me... B flat major, F, A flat ... as many tunes in Jazz are written in these keys, now I can aplly open string sounds on jazz standards. Cool video!!
Quality stuff
Another banger. I suspect I will be working on this material until your next video drops.
Wow! Excellent work.
Thanks for checking it out!
Nice one, mate! Have been working myself on these open strings for a while, nice that you decided to share it too! Reinier Baas does a lot of that.
As always thumbs up for another chellanging new approach! Really an enrichment in your musical vocabulary. I really need ot try it out! Thank you Robbie!
Thanks for checking out the vid!
You are a beast player.
Superbe... C'est vraiment un plaisir de vous voir jouer et vous écouter ...Fantastic
Merci beaucoup!
Wow very nice concept, thx for sharing, ill try and utilize it in my music.
All your work is great. Thank you. May merely request a deep dive into symmetrical diminished. Thanks.
I came across that a while back. I found the 3 compatible key centers. Realized there was a melodic minor option. I checked alot of other scale options. Bebop scales 8 tone spanish are other options. You took the concept way further than I imagined and then some. Well done man!
Always great content. Thanks a lot!!
My pleasure! Thanks for following the channel!
Did you hear that? Yea, that was my head exploding! This is an awesome channel!!
The Quality of your videos is easily the best..
