A few years ago I found a great guitar lesson for George Benson's Breezin' on RUclips, the only problem was that the video was in Thai! Needless to say I wasn't really able to follow along the whole time, but I always really liked the solo that the guy played in the video, so I thought I would transcribe it on my beautiful Ibanez jazz guitar and share it with everyone. I made a few changes here and there to adapt it a little to my style of playing, and I also included some chord changes along with some substitutions at the end. Hope you like it!
If you don't want to learn the whole song note for note I think you can still get lots of great improvisational ideas from the tab I've written out. Although Breezin' is a I, VI, ll, V progression, many of these soloing concepts will apply to a standard jazz ll, V, I as well. There are some excellent major scale (or ionian mode), pentatonic blues scale (major and minor), and arpeggio soloing ideas in this version, so try some of it out and see what works for you.

You are a genius Camilo. I have been messin with thus beautiful instrument for a long time, but George Bensons Breezin has a special meaning. I am gonna work at this one, thankyou very much for sharing this man
Thanks so much for your kind words man! All the best with learning this one :)
Outstanding. Must have taken loads of work to get this on here. Why would anybody down thumb this?
'couse those Moran's never learns anything to play
Simply envy…I learned to played the way Camilo played. It took me several month of study and practice, still need to work much more to get in closer to his great play style. Best. Joe.
Because there are just some truly empty people out there. This is pure joy.
You are one fine guitarist Camilo! Although I played professionally for 38 years, I never got around to working up many of the instrumentals I liked. Now that I am retired I am learning those tunes I like for me, including the Travis/Atkins thumb style songs you have posted. Your real time tabbed lessons are really time savers for me. Thank you kindly!
It's my pleasure, it's great to hear you're getting value out of my videos 😊
What a brilliant guitarist, could listen all day A must watch for anyone wanting to up their game and improve their skills.
This guy is great. I thank him for showing us his talent. I have listened to him a dozen times already.
Thanks amigo -- for the time you take and the trouble you take to help others. Believe me - a LOT of people appreciate you and your talent.
Very nicely done. One of my all time favorite tunes. Hearing you play this makes me feel so good.
Thankyou Camilo one of the greatest pieces of muisc ever written and you have made it accessible for us mere mortals!
I can’t play, nor do I have a ear for the notes but I’m going to try, love listening to this! Have it on repeat 🔁
You sir are a legend!! Very few people give out tabs to great songs. Thanks for this video mate!
Lol thanks Carlos! Glad to know you're enjoying the video :)
Dude, you have so much talent, that piece brought tears to my eyes. One of my favorite song by JB of course.
Your rhythm playing in the final part rocks !
Nicely done Camilo.....and thank you for your kindness.
Thanks for putting the time into making this. You make it look so easy!!
Camilo, excellent performance of such a complex theme very well played and a wonderful timing, I do really enjoy playing with you in the background, and I am doing much better. Thanks for sharing.
A beautiful job playing this phenomenal Benson classic!! This is a real gem and you do it justice!! Thank you so much!
OMG You wrote ths tab for us?????? THANKS A LOT! It´s just AMAZING!!! , a great piece, ´THANKS!!!
Im Learning it and have to say that it's more difficult than it appears.... NEW SUB
Thanks man :)
You are amazing. Thank you for all your hard work. I listen to this every practice session.
Excellent! Can listen to this all day. I'm going to try and learn this! Every time I hear this song I wonder why nobody made a 90s rap song to this groove?
Your Playing is fantastic, This song always felt beyond me..... You are giving me inspiration.
Although I may need to watch only a few seconds at a time..... Thanks in advance.
wowsa!!!! absolutely brilliant, you have set the level for me, I want to be as good as you just love your playing big thanx from Liverpool uk
Gracefully executed and masterfully tabulated. Loved that you included your chord variations on the progression. Nice spice.
I look forward to learning from your artistry.
Yes, I've been reading some of the comments here and there are a lot of ungrateful stupid and quite frankly ignorant people in this world that do not appreciate anything. It's all about them. Camilo, thank you for this. I for one, appreciate this so much!
Great solo part!
I wish everyone’s tabs were as good as yours! Great tone and great cover!
Thank you very much for this. Awesome playing. You have style and talent. I can never express my gratitude to players like you that put the effort and time to teach new player like me towards better playing and understanding, something that I found very hard to do 30 years ago growing up try to learn guitar with no teacher. Now I suddenly feel it's not impossible to start to learn. Thank you again.
My pleasure, and you’re very welcome :) if you ever feel like supporting what I do, I have a Patreon where I will be posting a improvisation lesson on Breezin’ v soon!
Great work Camilo - very impressive! Many thanks for sharing.
No problem Imran, thanks a lot for you comment :)
Anyone who knows this song probably wanted to play it. Thanks for making it so clear to follow. I'll be subscribing to your patreon channel for helping me achieve a life ambition of playing this song myself. I'm happy just playing the the damn rhythm section all night lol
Your support means the world to me Dan, thank you!
beautiful...
Man I love you, I'm studying each second of this video and learning a beautiful new language for my guitar, thanks =)
just another comment saying thanks a lot man for putting these videos up...they are so great because theoretically we can play along live reading the tabs while we see you play this stuff, and personally I think this is the best way to learn anything on guitar. So thanks again man, please keep doing more videos!
Hey I really appreciate that Mark, thank you!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this. Appreciated.
I just found the backing track by the same title here on RUclips. FANTASTIC JOB brother, you've got style and talent! 🎵💕stay safe and well everybody 💕
Wow !!!!! Amazing cover Camilo.You are very talented. Thanks for sharing.
Such a great jam
Awesome Camilo I love this piece thanks for the TAB excellent - now I can sit back and learn it
Excellent
Excellent work and tutorial. Voted, subscribed and am nodding along as I watch and plan to learn many of your excellent choices!
I really like your take on this great piece of music, great job...
That’s a beautiful tone you’ve got!
Beautiful job and artistic playing. Thanks man!
Thank you Camilo for doing this for us!! I also want to mention that I really appreciate the time you took to make the notes in your description of this lesson. More people need to read the teachers (you) notes and click, SHOW MORE if necessary. This is an "excellent" lesson Camilo and I am finally going to learn this beautiful song with your help. Thank you!!!
Thanks a lot Steve!
@@CamiloJamesGuitar Cool. Thank you Camilo!
Excellent. Thank you very much.
Amazing version of an an amazing tune. Thankyou for sharing.
Jeez. What an amazing performance and lesson. I use to hear this tune on Phoenix's, now gone to homogenized top 40 drek, KYOT-The "Kyooootee" easy jazz station. This rendition is as good as it gets. George would be proud.
Thanks a lot for saying that Ray, I would love to think so!
This is really good because your not trying to play every thing note for note so it sounds natural. Very good 👍
It is kind video. It was easy to understand. thank you!
Thanks, this will be worth spending some time on.
Love that song, now I'll need to learn it. Thanks!
No problem, good luck with it Rick :)
EXCELENT!
Shiiiit it sounds good to me. I like how he put his own spin on it. YOU PLAY THAT SONG MAN!!
oh God U R A Magician
Awesome!
i love that you improvised
added to my collection of videos to start my day out with...very nice.
Fabulous, many many thanks.👍☘️
Great job and that is a beautiful guitar
watching you play this song inspires me alot I want to learn this song but with only 3 months of guitar experience I have I know it's going to take lots of practice time and dedication.
Hey thanks a lot Chris I appreciate you saying that. A good idea might be to learn the chords, (at the end of the video) and then maybe just the intro and main riff - at the beginning to get started. Thanks for watching!
Awesome
This is class man, I love your solo over it and thanks for transcribing it for us! Great for us to become better players
Thanks Benjamin :)
Wow .. you even have the guitar .. very cool .. Thank you for the lesson ..
My pleasure Tim !

Bravo !
This should be titled, “Me noodling to Breezin” not even close.
@speedriff - Oh, it's really close! If you're a Benson fan and can't identify this, there's something wrong! It's good, imo.
Nice.I have to admit, playing the song the strait way can get old, so I like the improv.
Can tell you put the work in, nice job bro.
Wonderful Camilo how I wish I could be like you. Very clean!
Thanks a lot Ghen! It's all about practicing and having love for playing guitar :)
Thanks that will be an inspiration. I was wondering if you have a group or band... if ever, can you upload some. I wanna see you live in action haha! Thanks again cheers!
No band to speak of right now. Down the line who knows though!
Yah, anyway thanks man. I will idolize your skills and attitude. More power to you browh..
this is great man. thanks for the tab.!
Nice work brotha!!
Appreciate it!
Lovely man
