I just saw your link (at time stamp 15:00) to the Zellon Bickert package! This will keep me busy for months (years?) ahead. As to your question on "more Bickert?" - an absolute big YES from this Canadian subscriber/guitarist. I would encourage the development of an Ed Bickert Book! All his great material is now scattered in transcriptions by various on-line educators. Someone should (with permission) take the lead to create a definitive collection with pedagogy in mind. It would become the ultimate tribute to the legacy of this exceptionally original player who merits much more attention in jazz guitar teaching. Thank you !
The most under-rated player in jazz guitar history! Ed was creative - melodic in his soloing and voice-led comping. His playing "complemented" soloists (like Paul Desmond) in a subtle way. Humble player and person - wonderfully Canadian. There is a big need for a definitive "methods" book of Ed's style. Richie's posts are helping to fill a big gap in documentaion of this genius' contributions to modern jazz guitar.
Richie, as always, a great lesson. I love Ed's playing and loved this lesson. Please do more lessons on Bickert, a true genius, and a very underrated guitarist.
Note that the chord graphic for GMaj7(9/13) at 5:33 shows the finger numbers (not the intervals as spoken by Richie) . The first chord after this one was skipped in the narration. Jerry the Nit-Picker of London, Canada.
Richie your whole presentation is always informative. I discovered Ed Bickert a number of years ago and ever since I've just enjoyed everything he did on guitar. Ed had his own style. He always put the song 1st. A truly amazing jazz Guitarist. Actually one of my very favorites. And btw, I to play the telecaster for all occasions musically. Keep up the great informative guitar info.🙏☕
@@RichieZellon I've owned a couple of music stores...Guitars come & Go... You'll find another sooner or later. Btw, you ever talk to Bill Ande? He said he'd mixed a couple of things for ya a number of years ago. Last I heard he & his wife moved to Chicago for her VA job....He really enjoyed your playing and working with you.
@@brothermac9719 Yes, I visited them in Chicago earlier this year. I talk with Bill almost every week. I will mention you but I didn't get your name...
I go by different aliases but he should remember Uncle-T-bone. I worked on a utterly crazy project called Big City. When ya talk to him, tell him I said... "No New Beatles" 😂 group. Anywho keep up the great informative vids & playing... And if your ever playing up in Daytona or DeLand area, would love to meet and hear ya play.🙏☕
Yes, please, more Bickert Richie. Thank you for this. Greatly enjoyed this lesson. Thanks for being the guy who shows us how to play a thousand chords in front of three people instead of three chords in front of thousands of people hahaha
Ed was such a great guitarist! In the sense that he was an "unsung" hero- remember, his title was "Ed Bickert, C.M.E."- so beloved by his country, he was knighted by the Canadian government!
Where can I find Ed Bickert music sheets online? I love his music and would like to get songs to play, preferably with double bass. Anyone knows? I found a site from Francois Leduc but I am not sure about leaving my card details there, the site doesn't look great.

Thanks, Richie. It is so great to see where to get a handle on the uptown sound of Breau and Bickert. I definitely want more.
Thanks, More to come!
Richie, as always, a great lesson. I love Ed's playing and loved this lesson. Please do more lessons on Bickert, a true genius, and a very underrated guitarist.
Thanks! Will do!

YES!! As we have talked, I love Ed Bickert and this lesson is like a dream come true. I hope to dig on this in the near future. See you soon!
Thank you so much, I love Ed's playing! 🙂

Please take another careful look at the graphic. The intervals are correct!
@@RichieZellon Thanks for your rapid response. Perhaps the chord diagram shows the finger numbers rather than the intervals ? I edited my comment.
Yes they are finger numbers :)
Thanks Richie ! He and Charlie Christian are my favorite jazz guitarists!

Ed was a true master (as is one of his big collaborators, Lorne😉). I love the inner movements… Thanks for sharing!
Studied with Lorne at York :) definitely a guitar intellectual

I received the Rosolino album as a gift. My favorite is “Who can I turn to?”
That's one of my favorite cuts too!
Great stuff ! I love Bickert !
Excellent job 👏 👍 thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you too
Count me in with the “small minority!” Love Mr. Bickert’s sound and style, and looking forward to more of your in-depth analyses.
Thanks Tom, will do!
great stuff!
One of Ed’s records that always flies under the radar is “3rd floor Richard”
Love it!
Ed was such a great guitarist! In the sense that he was an "unsung" hero- remember, his title was "Ed Bickert, C.M.E."- so beloved by his country, he was knighted by the Canadian government!
Absolutely!
Muy bueno Richie excelente
Coisa linda!

Unfortunately there are no published Ed Bickert solo transcriptions that I know of, just what you find scattered online.
someone needs their Sadowsky set up
Are you with the jazz guitar police? 🤣 I think it sounds and plays great!
