The tone,speed,melody and clearness of George Benson's play is out of this world! I never thought of listen to jazz but Lou Donaldson made me step out from blues. God bless him, he is 95! years old. 🎸🎶🎵
benson has tremendous fluidity, but he is often mechanical and not saying much of anything. he's gotten even more mechanical in concerts over the years. he's a brilliant scale machine!
@@alexandergallant6444 Dear Alex, every chef has down days and many of the most accomplished individuals have periods where they rest on the laurels. It takes a great deal of heart to put out a meaningful message. Benson is arguably one of the most virtuoso guitarists in the world, but I've seen him a few times when he is just not putting everything into it. People like Scofield, who I've seen a dozen times, always seems to put a great deal of heart into it. Pat Martino as well or John Abercrombie. Additionally, everyone gets burnt out from time to time. I know I was not hearing Benson at his best. He knows that most people can't tell and are elated just by his name. But having listened to a ton of Benson, I know he was just playing mechanically and I was not happy!
As a jazz guitarist, I have to disagree. I haven't transcribed what Benson did here, but just listening to it I hear the natural harmonic scale, the chromatic scale, and the pentatonic scale. His lines don't sound mechanical; they are pretty fluid. He's one of the more natural guitarists out there. Pat Martino, who I also like, can sound mechanical because he can get stuck in the harmonic minor.

Grandi!! Great!! Quartetto con i controcoglioni!!
That guitar is huge. So is his ability to play it.
The guitar bites👑
Nice, Nice. Love it
Play Avery
Wrong name of this tune : this is Alligator Bogaloo tune
No GB-20?
Never heard Tyner sound so inept. That was pathetic. I guess when these funk jazz guys go back to the blues they are like a fish out of water.

lets see your playing and what you have to say
You obviously have no idea of what a guitar virtuoso sounds like!

I thought I was the only one thinking this.
