This proves that Andreas has LISTENED to a lot of music and PRACTISED for many years. He is a genius when it comes to playing the guitar. For various reasons, I still listen to Wes when I like to know why Jazz is what it is.
Yes , sir. Good move. Reason number 1. Wes is the source. The water is pure. The flavor is exquisite. The mineral content is what your body of music needs to grow strong. All the rest, all the best, Benson, Metheney, et al went there to drink. Start with Wes, and you can't go wrong. Reason number 2. Wes' playing is accessible to the common civilian, and interesting to the seasoned aficionado and player. (As are Metheney's and Benson's musics. Hmm. Is there a pattern here for a career that is rewarding both artistically and monetarily?)
Exactly the way I like it! Traditional harmony and lines and none of those wacky reharmonisations and weird sounds. And above all played with super intention and precision. My man!
Andreas is a remarkably fluid, inventive guitarist who appears comfortable in a variety of styles and excels at playing rapid and coherent phrases with incredible technical dexterity that remain musically coherent and expressive. I'm very impressed. Scatting is an ability to play the notes that you are singing spontaneously. While Andreas certainly could play preconceived lines at times, mostly this skill is about improvising and developing the ability to play what you hear. Excellent.
I don't care how many people say they've heard this a thousand times - I really like it and that's what counts. Great swing and great playing - makes me want to pick up my guitar and learn some of those lines. Can't say Adam Rogers has that effect on me, however "modern" he may be. I'm not knocking him or Rosenwinkel - I just personally prefer this. And Andreas gets 5 extra stars from me for the cowboy boots and outrageous rhinestone strap on that beautiful Benedetto :-) Great stuff - thanks!!
Eccezionale! Questo chitarrista coniuga tecnica folgorante, bel suono, ottimo tocco, gusto nel fraseggio...e la chitarra Benedetto modello Manhattan è sfruttata al massimo! One of the best jazz guitarists in the world!
@gigwalnutz1 its called scat, and although I'm not the biggest fan of it, it shows how one you are at your instrument, how you well you connect your the music in your head and heart with your fingers. Its actually quite incredible.
@awesomewelles90 Well if you read what HendrixcommaMartin actually says "Shows that he's playing what he hears" What you hear in your head doesn't mean spontaneously composed but some melody you've heard before and revisited or personified
That's right, versatility. The Greats always show tribute to the rest of the greats through themselves. All you're seeing here is a man showing his musical influences, and I would guarantee that he would say (Obviously, George Benson) and Lenny Breau.
I didn't necessarily say that it fit. I was responding to an earlier comment that said that what Andreas was playing was something he'd "heard a million times," and that because it had artificial harmonics in the intro that it wasn't a blues which someone would have heard before.
Exactly. And the reality is that Andreas can play typically "moder" sounding lines as well. It just so happens that in this particular performance he's chosen a more traditional approach, and is there anything wrong with that? That alone shows versatility.
you're not getting the reference. There's a series of videos titled something like.. "drummer at the wrong gig", I believe. Watch one of those videos and you'll understand.
Terrific technique + good singing feeling. Love this vid' Great! Remind me of another great scatting vid': the "take five" duet with Al Jarreau and Kurt Elling Should go and have a look at it ;-)
Obviously he's younger than John Pizzarelli. Maybe John is one of his influences as well as George. Their styles are both fantastic. Andreas' chops are more flamboyant than John's, but John Pizzarelli is smoother in terms of execution. Just my observation. So how do we call their styles: scatting while soloing? If there isn't any, can we call it a 'Scalos'? 😊
For all those who are arguing about the harmonics he uses at the start: The harmonics are comparable to the intro Joey Defrancesco plays on his tune Blues for Bobby C. What Andreas is doing here has been done before and it's recogised as a standard technique. If you don't like the sound of it then say that but don't argue that it's musically out of place.
@shankaraist Not blues per say. But a sub genre that blends blues and jazz. Jazz-blues as I said, not "blues" "jazz-blues" I don't know why it's so hard for you to grasp that concept?
@shankaraist Can you rephrase that for me? I didnt quite understand. This is a jazz/bebop blues per definition, charlie parker defined the genre and guys like Andreas help keep it alive. If you think it's stupid to call it blues because it sounds so different to real blues, then I respect that opinion, but this is what it is called :)
You know that Keith Jarrett doesn actually sing his lines, he has said in interviews that his vocalization are a response to what he plays.... just sayin :)
Hello, To play in 4 4 it is not a easy way to play this ; what i mean, if you start-ing-point 1 to a break in the end 4 some time is befor the measure when you play that mean you most be more precise to the 4 4 break and the drummer do the same some time !... But i think you play very good this version i like very much !...

I have watched two gazillion guitar performances on youtube. Andreas my friend, you are up there chanelling the gods!
This guy is flat out killer in so many styles
Just love Andreas's playing. Total magic.
Perfect camera guy to call when you don't want anyone to steal your licks.
Camilo Velandia these are benson's licks :D yet good camera man for the aforementioned!
I've stolen some licks anyway :D
Fra Aul me too haha
more than some ahaha ;)
I have the pdf transcription
HE is really good that he can actually sing his melody while playing his melody right!
Exactly the way I like it! Traditional harmony and lines and none of those wacky reharmonisations and weird sounds. And above all played with super intention and precision. My man!
This dude is the savior of modern jazz guitar!
One of the most amazing displays of guitardom I have ever seen.
Wow, I'm glad i found this guy, he's burnin' !!!
Woooooow... It's amazing how he plays the guitar and at the same time he sings every single note. BRILLIANT
i'm always wondering how the other guitarist sitting there must feel , this is just tenchincal mind blowing stuff !
Andreas is a remarkably fluid, inventive guitarist who appears comfortable in a variety of styles and excels at playing rapid and coherent phrases with incredible technical dexterity that remain musically coherent and expressive. I'm very impressed. Scatting is an ability to play the notes that you are singing spontaneously. While Andreas certainly could play preconceived lines at times, mostly this skill is about improvising and developing the ability to play what you hear. Excellent.
The rhythm is incredible. All about that bounce.
scatting with the melody line is just pure awesomeness !!!!!!
What a mighty guitar player Andreas is.
Fantastic as always, an Immense talent.
I don't care how many people say they've heard this a thousand times - I really like it and that's what counts. Great swing and great playing - makes me want to pick up my guitar and learn some of those lines. Can't say Adam Rogers has that effect on me, however "modern" he may be. I'm not knocking him or Rosenwinkel - I just personally prefer this. And Andreas gets 5 extra stars from me for the cowboy boots and outrageous rhinestone strap on that beautiful Benedetto :-) Great stuff - thanks!!
This guy is breathtaking. Bass too. And that scatting !
sublime!!
Eccezionale! Questo chitarrista coniuga tecnica folgorante, bel suono, ottimo tocco, gusto nel fraseggio...e la chitarra Benedetto modello Manhattan è sfruttata al massimo! One of the best jazz guitarists in the world!
That singing actually made me very happy haha
Jazz and blues are the best underrated music genres.
Wow! Just perfect.

Great tone and feel!
I dig him!
Andreas ! PEERFECT GUITAR JAZZ !YOU IS VERY , VERY GOOD GUITARRIST !
when will we ever see Andreas Öberg and Ulf Wakenius perform together ?
@gigwalnutz1 its called scat, and although I'm not the biggest fan of it, it shows how one you are at your instrument, how you well you connect your the music in your head and heart with your fingers. Its actually quite incredible.
amazing nuff said!
amazing interpretation of Charlie Parker's composition. This guy is a great musician.
@awesomewelles90 Well if you read what HendrixcommaMartin actually says
"Shows that he's playing what he hears" What you hear in your head doesn't mean spontaneously composed but some melody you've heard before and revisited or personified
ultrabellissimissimo
This guy is bad ass!! He's really got those Benson licks down.
the guitar is a washburn J6 if im not mistaken
Hes like Benson and Martino on steroids. I have NEVER heard any guitarist play that fluid and clean...................................and FAST.
Nice playing...good groove. Great fat tones...
That's right, versatility. The Greats always show tribute to the rest of the greats through themselves. All you're seeing here is a man showing his musical influences, and I would guarantee that he would say (Obviously, George Benson) and Lenny Breau.
I love the tone he gets when playing chords. Reminds me of Kenny Burrell
Real nice!
I didn't necessarily say that it fit. I was responding to an earlier comment that said that what Andreas was playing was something he'd "heard a million times," and that because it had artificial harmonics in the intro that it wasn't a blues which someone would have heard before.
Un Genio!
GENIOUS
@shankaraist
o yes deffenitly a blues and nice one too!
awesome
Live at Muriel Anderson's Guitar Night NAMM 2008, Anaheim with Danny Gottlieb and Stuart Hamm.
Exactly. And the reality is that Andreas can play typically "moder" sounding lines as well. It just so happens that in this particular performance he's chosen a more traditional approach, and is there anything wrong with that? That alone shows versatility.
Great Player!
wow, Andreas really do sing his stuff, cool!
muito bom
you're not getting the reference. There's a series of videos titled something like.. "drummer at the wrong gig", I believe. Watch one of those videos and you'll understand.
@jkman10 Because it kind of sounds really nice !!
GREAT TALENT.......BRAVO.....!!! HE SOUND'S LIKE LEGENTARY GEORGE.BENSON
This is a very ..very..Cool/Hot Bounce through...Charlie`s Great Jazz Tune...Andreas Nails It ...Just Right.
Terrific technique + good singing feeling. Love this vid' Great!

BillyC15 was right! Thank you ...
Man! .... man ... man oh man ! This guy really burns!
@DREAUXENTERTAINMENT outside of jazz... david gilmour always did that as well
Obviously he's younger than John Pizzarelli. Maybe John is one of his influences as well as George. Their styles are both fantastic.

voila un solo qui le place définitivement dans la cour des plus grands !

@Steal Yo gurl t sounds like Eb Major7 arpeggio starting from D ..twice ..in different speed adding some chromatism
excellent :)))
that bass player is someone from Joe Satriani's band isn't he? If I'm not mistaken his name is stu hamm,
anw, very good guitarplaying!
@vithaj92 thanks for still sticking around
i enjoyed that solo.

@shankaraist Not blues per say. But a sub genre that blends blues and jazz. Jazz-blues as I said, not "blues" "jazz-blues" I don't know why it's so hard for you to grasp that concept?
