Great stuff! You're offering something quite different and valuable. Your production quality and musicality are top notch. I was one of your patreon in the past so I know the quality of your documents. It is worth it. I will liketly be one of your patreon again in the future. For now however I need to focus on other musical lesson/concept that I have already started. Thanks again for your hard work.
The sick part is how easy he makes it look. On top of that, is the incredible tone, dexterity, and clarity. Always something to take away. Thanks for posting.
I loved my guitar professors in university but I honestly wish we would've gone into this kind of playing after learning all the Drop Voicing back then. It seemed like we learned all these voicings to just sound like every other guitar player in a comping type setting but your way of connecting these chord shapes to make lines is such a fresh way to look at these voicings and to create another way of implementing the work of learning new voicings. Thank you for making these videos!!
Intelligent people have a hard time turning this off when it’s time to let go and just play. Not saying he has that issue. Joe Diorio recommended starting every practice session by just playing and not judging. I think for that very purpose.
Don't normally comment on videos, but this is truly an excellent production in both quality and depth. Such gorgeous examples of your own playing and approach. I could listen to hours of your performances!
Thank you so much for these videos. I've been stuck at the same level with guitar for yeeeears now and I don't have access to guitar teachers or anyone who can help me out where I live. Very much appreciated! 🙏
I am only halfway through and I'm blown away by this. I had to stop to just say great work and THANK YOU, this is introducing a concept that I'd only been aware of as an idea rather than something I used regularly, and making an absolutely beautiful sounding exercise of it. This is awesome, made me pick up my guitar and learn it.
Thanks Robbie. This channel has so much natural, yet logical creativity to offer. I’d started to think that “modern” music was destined to be the work of a computer, or yet another re-hash from the past, but this is pure musical Sci-fi or should that be “Science Non-fiction” because it’s presented logically and REALLY really well (and I’m no JS Bach!)
Great to see you back making more of these concept based practice videos - you are still unique in giving to us all the kind of depth and precision of information about modern improvisation concepts for guitar that we would otherwise only get from a degree-level course, and your production quality is up there with the best.
Waouh this its beautiful as drops of rainy water a sunny day . Far from my level but MR thanxx to you Now I finally know where I want to go .❤ Merci beaucoups /
I think you are different...you don't know the inspiration you provide...I am 57 years old, I have been playing since I was 6...I look at you and listen and I want to continue learning. Your work is admirable. greetings from Argentina. incredible...
These are absolutely beautiful. I already started putting these to use. And because they’re chords getting these patterns under your fingertips aren’t all that hard. Now playing them as fast as you execute them…that’s a different story. Thank you 🙏 for this awesome tool. God bless
Another inspiring, brilliant, lesson Robbie. So far I've spent about two hours over two days on the first 9 minutes...Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and skills with us!
This is one of the most creative and musical ways to learn fluid movement around the fretboard I’ve come across, it really connects some bits of knowledge I had but wasn’t able to put together completely. Thank you!
This is the best guitar playing I've heard on RUclips. Great, Robbie! And VERY generous of you to share your hard, lonely work you've done in the shed with us...Thanks from New York City, my man...
I'm a BIG fan of your playing and your videos! Very interesting and original. I was afraid you were quitting making videos. Glad your back! Keep it up!😊
Robbie- your tutorials are top level stuff. The quality of thought, presentation, production, playing etc etc are unmatched. Theres so much to unpack in these 18 minutes- months of unpicking and applying these concepts awaits!
Great clip, Robbie, I stumbled on a similar approach, teaching bass guitar before I went into retirement. You are definitely one of the best guitar channels on RUclips!
Love the exercise because it's melodic right from the start, I been doing some interesting stuff with the drop two voicings you sent me got me interested in jazz again. Thanks again David Bahar Edinburgh
@@RobbieBarnby Your execution is clean, and clear. Obviously theory schooled. I like the arpeggio stuff. It gets me away from running up/down the scale. But I don't want to sound like I'm playing an arpeggio. The same with other scales. My thinking the easy listener is slow. They want to hear something familiar as well as easy to listen. Not me running off a bunch of arps. Joe Pass played songs; within seconds the listener knew what song he was playing. The improv was the song.
Robbie, thanks for sharing these very modern ideas. I’d like to know how you’re getting the sustained chords in response to the melodic lines you playing?
Have you thought about using live fret at all? I find it super useful to be able to see the notes on the fret board as you play them live. Then I get to skip straight to the visualising :) love your lessons.!!
Thanks Robbie! Your vids are always so well organized and presented. Quick question...bc I can't quite tell from the vid...are you using a jazz III pick?
Great lesson. One question - on the D major scale, why on the third of the scale, F#m7, after the drop2 you reach for the flat 2nd instead of the 2nd before moving to the drop3? That is how it is tabbed and it looks like that is what you are playing.
Thanks for checking out the video and for the question! When taking a pattern through the diatonic structure of a chosen scale we will be applying the pattern to each of the chords (and modes) found within it. Within the key of D Major we find various chord qualities (Major, Minor, Dominant, Half Diminished) as well as unique scale constructions ('Modes') built from each degree of the scale. The 3rd chord/Mode in the key of D Major is F# Minor and the mode which corresponds to this placement of the scale is F# Phrygian. The construction of the Phrygian Mode is R, b2, b3, 4, 5, b6, b7. The 2nd (G) for F# Minor is a b2nd because this is diatonic to the key of D Major (G = the 4th interval in the key of D). Hope that helps for now! I recommend studying up on the modes of the Major scale, learning about the intervalic construction and, most importantly, the functioning for each one.
One quick question: Obviously the connecting non-chord tones can be found on other strings. Have you found a particular benefit to the strings choices shown or do you recommend experimenting with alternatives? Thanks!
Thanks for the question! I definitely recommend experimenting with other options and finding what you like the sound of. For these examples, I chose the added notes based on what I found flowed best for each pattern/phrase whilst keeping the focus on the Drop Voicing chord shapes being intact. However, I did find other variations that were nice which even included repeated intervals for the filler notes. Thanks again!
Hey I had a question - how are you doing the whooshy chord thing at the end of a run to state the chord you’re arpeggiating? It sounds like a half wood/half string synthy thing. Very nice.
I often use a 'Freeze' pedal (routed to some independent delays). But I also like to add some backing pads in post to give more harmonic context for the single note line examples. Thanks for watching!
Awesome channel. A joyful methodical approach. Well Done. It motivated me to create a patreon account and join your patreon. I was going to upgrade for backing tracks and pdf’s, but most of the backing track previews sound like the have gone through a ring modulator. Is this something that patreon does for DRM, or is that how the tracks sound? Forgive me, if this is a patron “noob” question, but the sound of some of the backing tracks like “Scales As Clusters - Backing Track (wav + pdf), Jan 3, 2023 kept my credit card in my wallet. I don’t mean this as a mean musical adjudication, I am hoping that it is a patreon Digital Rights Management “feature”.
Thanks for following the channel and for being a Patron! I'm not familiar with the sound issue you mention but I will contact Patreon to explore further. The backing tracks are tracks I made to musically demonstrate the concepts shown in my videos. Keeping in mind I'm no music production expert, there shouldn't be any differences between the backing tracks on Patreon and the tracks used in the performances from my videos. The backing track you are referring to is from my RUclips video, 'Cluster Voicings for Advanced Guitar' (link below).

Thanks so much! That’s incredibly kind and generous of you.
One of the most intelligent and genius guitar player in the world. I love how logical and mathematical his approach is.
His patreon is 🔥🔥🔥
Check out mick goodrick. He's next level

Do you?
This is the best guitarist that teaches on youtube.
Oh snap! Drop 2s & 3s are exactly what I've been working on! Stoked for this Robbie!
Nice one! Thanks Justin!

I love how you apply theory to create useful improvising rudiments... congratulations!
Thanks!

If you post more often I’m sure you will be the biggest guitar teacher on RUclips
That's some bloody lovely guitar playing, and a great lesson. Many thanks. Wicked. ❤
Thanks a lot!
Another excellent tutorial! And you dropped this one on my birthday 🎉 what a great gift. Thanks for what you do!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for the nice comment. Wishing you a wonderful year ahead full of music!
Brilliant. Soulful..... and Amazing backing vibe tracks.
Thank you!
Thanks for doing what you do! Every time you upload it's pure quality.
Great clip, Robbie, I stumbled on a similar approach, teaching bass guitar before I went into retirement. You are definitely one of the best guitar channels on RUclips!
That's too kind, thanks for following!
It's great you have uploaded videos again, with such quality I guess it should take you a lot of time in producing them, Thanks!
Another great thorough lesson that offers tons of material to practice
Thanks for the kind words!
These are cool man! I’m sure trying these will open up some new connections on the fretboard. My drop 3 game has been wanting some attention.
This video has the potential of completelly changin your way of playing, your language and vocabulary. As usual, brilliant, my friend.
Beautiful as always, Robbie.
Thanks a lot!
Cheers for this! Your videos are always bang on.
Robbie - thanks for this great info...at the risk of being redundant, you are so musical and kind for sharing this gold
Thanks! That's really kind of you to say!
This is pure gold. 👏👏👏👏
Haven’t watched one of your videos in a while, but your eloquence, skill and passion are all quite impressive.
I’d love to see a video on your gear and tone! The tone is incredible!!
This is extremely valuable! Thanks for sharing! 👏
Thanks for checking it out!
Yo Robbie the world needs a original album from you!!!!
He's back!
Thanks Master.
He really knows his stuff!...total pro!...
Love the exercise because it's melodic right from the start, I been doing some interesting stuff with the drop two voicings you sent me got me interested in jazz again. Thanks again David Bahar Edinburgh
Thanks David! That's great to hear!
Jump to 9:05 if you want your mind blown instantly!😊
Dope, haven’t even watched yet but I know what im working on today. Thanks for the great videos.

Nice how you present things
Thanks Chap👍✌️
Thanks for watching!
This video is gold! awesome ideas and more awesome playing
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great stuff Thanks.
That guitar sound and tone is like nothing I've heard before!!! it's heavenly. Does it have the eventide effect on it?
Robbie, thanks for sharing these very modern ideas. I’d like to know how you’re getting the sustained chords in response to the melodic lines you playing?
This is big ty !
I do his reverse cycle arpeggios exercise everyday it really wakes up your fingers!
This is an amazing lesson. Thank you so much!
Robbie, always awesome! Can you make a video where you apply it to a jazz standard- like Out of Nowhere or
My Ideal?
Great playing and very good explainations ! Thx !
Thanks for watching!
that intro bro🤯 !!!!!
Excellent! Guess the tricky bit is to make these voicings sound musical.
Nice editing. I just found your channel and I like your style
Thanks for watching!
YES!
Brilliant 🤟🤠🤟
Thanks a lot!
Really great teaching style Robbie..congrats
Thanks for watching!
Have you thought about using live fret at all? I find it super useful to be able to see the notes on the fret board as you play them live. Then I get to skip straight to the visualising :) love your lessons.!!
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out!
Bless you for using color and using a black background.
Why? Does it make it easier for you?
The YT algorithm did me a solid putting that cat on my feed 👍🏾
Just superb work, thank you 🙏
Amazing. Thanks Robbie. Tim
Thanks for watching Tim!
hi Robbie, how do you get those bass tones on 6th string? thank you, you are amazing, suchj an inspiration
nice thank you
Grazie per le tue spiegazioni, molto utili per ampliare lo studio della chitarra... 👍
Great Vid. Already subscribed. How do I get this lesson on paper.
Thanks a lot! All the PDF material is available on my Patreon page (Tier 2): patreon.com/robbiebarnby
Sick
Brilliant!
Thanks Robbie! Your vids are always so well organized and presented. Quick question...bc I can't quite tell from the vid...are you using a jazz III pick?
Thanks a lot! I'm using a 'D'Andrea Pro Plec' pick.
such an awesome lesson!!! cheers
wow beautiful song.
finally! a new video

How can drop 2 and drop 3 of D Major both use A as a root note? I thought the that different scale degrees have become the root? Thank you.
wow this sounds so nice!
One quick question: Obviously the connecting non-chord tones can be found on other strings. Have you found a particular benefit to the strings choices shown or do you recommend experimenting with alternatives? Thanks!
