The only musician in the world that can play like Wes Montgomery is humble enough to say that he can't play like Wes Montgomery: a true living legend of jazz guitar.
I was fortunate enough to have met George Benson in person after a "performance" in Minneapolis one night and George Benson is one helluva Classy, Humble, and Gracious guy! Seriously this Dude is a total class act! In every facet...
Met him once, talked for few minutes, awesome. Started following him with Body Talk, haven’t looked back. Listened to many jazz greats and his straight ahead playing is unreal. Then add everything else in. We’re lucky to have him.
George Benson has no equal in jazz guitar. No one can take a stark hollowbody electric, through a stark and stiff Fender twin reverb, squeaky clean, and play with such technique, speed, and precision. Period.
9:27 when he starts playing While We're Young... would have loved to hear him play the whole thing. Fair play to Jody though for using the time he had with him to try and extract as much insight as possible from his approach to playing.
I had the issue with strings unraveling with a set of DR strings. I had never had that happen before but man it hurt especially when you don't expect it.
the interviewer should asked George, how did he came out with solos in Affirmation,and other Benson hits..a solo have a technical and melodically meaning for every player..
Where can we purchase your books and lessons. I have been searching for months but I can't find anything. You are my favorite player and I lo love your work and your teaching. Thank you in advance

He certainly is....!
Such a nice and humble interviewer
This was such a pleasure to watch
Glad you enjoyed it, Rodrigo...!
Great stuff. Thank you.
George is really nice guy to talk to. He so down to earth!
I think George is one of the very few Jazz guitarist whatever he plays sounds musical , unlike others..... Such a great guy
He is a legend
When comes to sounding musical Jim Hall comes to my mind too
A legendary musician and wonderful guy.
Benson is such a master: so musical! Thank you!
The master. And that Ibanez GB model looks absolutley spectacular.

He could just strum and play little bits. I could sit there for hours and smile. Three hours later I’d feel like only a few minutes went by.
What a genius, and a great person
simply the best . god blessed you
Finally the rest of the videos of this session
Wow, the fact the George uses the words "I said" when he means "I played" (6:01) really tells you that this man truly speaks through his instrument.
Yep...!
This man is from the heaven!!

I had the issue with strings unraveling with a set of DR strings. I had never had that happen before but man it hurt especially when you don't expect it.
Is there any purpose as to why benson does downstrokes when travelling upwards on the fretboard? Or am i missing something??
the interviewer should asked George, how did he came out with solos in Affirmation,and other Benson hits..a solo have a technical and melodically meaning for every player..
