This proves that Andreas has LISTENED to a lot of music and PRACTISED for many years. He is a genius when it comes to playing the guitar. For various reasons, I still listen to Wes when I like to know why Jazz is what it is.
Yes , sir. Good move. Reason number 1. Wes is the source. The water is pure. The flavor is exquisite. The mineral content is what your body of music needs to grow strong. All the rest, all the best, Benson, Metheney, et al went there to drink. Start with Wes, and you can't go wrong. Reason number 2. Wes' playing is accessible to the common civilian, and interesting to the seasoned aficionado and player. (As are Metheney's and Benson's musics. Hmm. Is there a pattern here for a career that is rewarding both artistically and monetarily?)
Exactly the way I like it! Traditional harmony and lines and none of those wacky reharmonisations and weird sounds. And above all played with super intention and precision. My man!
Eccezionale! Questo chitarrista coniuga tecnica folgorante, bel suono, ottimo tocco, gusto nel fraseggio...e la chitarra Benedetto modello Manhattan è sfruttata al massimo! One of the best jazz guitarists in the world!
Andreas is a remarkably fluid, inventive guitarist who appears comfortable in a variety of styles and excels at playing rapid and coherent phrases with incredible technical dexterity that remain musically coherent and expressive. I'm very impressed. Scatting is an ability to play the notes that you are singing spontaneously. While Andreas certainly could play preconceived lines at times, mostly this skill is about improvising and developing the ability to play what you hear. Excellent.
I don't care how many people say they've heard this a thousand times - I really like it and that's what counts. Great swing and great playing - makes me want to pick up my guitar and learn some of those lines. Can't say Adam Rogers has that effect on me, however "modern" he may be. I'm not knocking him or Rosenwinkel - I just personally prefer this. And Andreas gets 5 extra stars from me for the cowboy boots and outrageous rhinestone strap on that beautiful Benedetto :-) Great stuff - thanks!!
@gigwalnutz1 its called scat, and although I'm not the biggest fan of it, it shows how one you are at your instrument, how you well you connect your the music in your head and heart with your fingers. Its actually quite incredible.
@awesomewelles90 Well if you read what HendrixcommaMartin actually says "Shows that he's playing what he hears" What you hear in your head doesn't mean spontaneously composed but some melody you've heard before and revisited or personified
I didn't necessarily say that it fit. I was responding to an earlier comment that said that what Andreas was playing was something he'd "heard a million times," and that because it had artificial harmonics in the intro that it wasn't a blues which someone would have heard before.
That's right, versatility. The Greats always show tribute to the rest of the greats through themselves. All you're seeing here is a man showing his musical influences, and I would guarantee that he would say (Obviously, George Benson) and Lenny Breau.
you're not getting the reference. There's a series of videos titled something like.. "drummer at the wrong gig", I believe. Watch one of those videos and you'll understand.
Exactly. And the reality is that Andreas can play typically "moder" sounding lines as well. It just so happens that in this particular performance he's chosen a more traditional approach, and is there anything wrong with that? That alone shows versatility.
@shankaraist Can you rephrase that for me? I didnt quite understand. This is a jazz/bebop blues per definition, charlie parker defined the genre and guys like Andreas help keep it alive. If you think it's stupid to call it blues because it sounds so different to real blues, then I respect that opinion, but this is what it is called :)
Terrific technique + good singing feeling. Love this vid' Great! Remind me of another great scatting vid': the "take five" duet with Al Jarreau and Kurt Elling Should go and have a look at it ;-)
For all those who are arguing about the harmonics he uses at the start: The harmonics are comparable to the intro Joey Defrancesco plays on his tune Blues for Bobby C. What Andreas is doing here has been done before and it's recogised as a standard technique. If you don't like the sound of it then say that but don't argue that it's musically out of place.
@shankaraist Not blues per say. But a sub genre that blends blues and jazz. Jazz-blues as I said, not "blues" "jazz-blues" I don't know why it's so hard for you to grasp that concept?
You know that Keith Jarrett doesn actually sing his lines, he has said in interviews that his vocalization are a response to what he plays.... just sayin :)
@vithaj92 re:" jazz/bebop blues per definition, charlie parker defined the genre..". I don't follow definitions. Nobody knows who defined blues, certainly not Parker. He is/was connected with something called be-bop. Andrea follows Dylan's folklor in this latest production so he gets only 3 out of 10. (mouth harmonica is absent?)
Obviously he's younger than John Pizzarelli. Maybe John is one of his influences as well as George. Their styles are both fantastic. Andreas' chops are more flamboyant than John's, but John Pizzarelli is smoother in terms of execution. Just my observation. So how do we call their styles: scatting while soloing? If there isn't any, can we call it a 'Scalos'? 😊
Hello, To play in 4 4 it is not a easy way to play this ; what i mean, if you start-ing-point 1 to a break in the end 4 some time is befor the measure when you play that mean you most be more precise to the 4 4 break and the drummer do the same some time !... But i think you play very good this version i like very much !...
Perfect camera guy to call when you don't want anyone to steal your licks.
Camilo Velandia these are benson's licks :D yet good camera man for the aforementioned!
I've stolen some licks anyway :D
Fra Aul me too haha
more than some ahaha ;)
I have the pdf transcription

This guy is flat out killer in so many styles
I have watched two gazillion guitar performances on youtube. Andreas my friend, you are up there chanelling the gods!
Just love Andreas's playing. Total magic.
Exactly the way I like it! Traditional harmony and lines and none of those wacky reharmonisations and weird sounds. And above all played with super intention and precision. My man!
This dude is the savior of modern jazz guitar!
HE is really good that he can actually sing his melody while playing his melody right!
Eccezionale! Questo chitarrista coniuga tecnica folgorante, bel suono, ottimo tocco, gusto nel fraseggio...e la chitarra Benedetto modello Manhattan è sfruttata al massimo! One of the best jazz guitarists in the world!
scatting with the melody line is just pure awesomeness !!!!!!
Andreas is a remarkably fluid, inventive guitarist who appears comfortable in a variety of styles and excels at playing rapid and coherent phrases with incredible technical dexterity that remain musically coherent and expressive. I'm very impressed. Scatting is an ability to play the notes that you are singing spontaneously. While Andreas certainly could play preconceived lines at times, mostly this skill is about improvising and developing the ability to play what you hear. Excellent.
Woooooow... It's amazing how he plays the guitar and at the same time he sings every single note. BRILLIANT
One of the most amazing displays of guitardom I have ever seen.
Wow, I'm glad i found this guy, he's burnin' !!!
Fantastic as always, an Immense talent.
I don't care how many people say they've heard this a thousand times - I really like it and that's what counts. Great swing and great playing - makes me want to pick up my guitar and learn some of those lines. Can't say Adam Rogers has that effect on me, however "modern" he may be.

That singing actually made me very happy haha
This guy is breathtaking. Bass too. And that scatting !
Great shots! Great Music!!
The rhythm is incredible. All about that bounce.
i'm always wondering how the other guitarist sitting there must feel , this is just tenchincal mind blowing stuff !
man, you sir just took me to another planet
Astounding skills! Inspiring.
What a mighty guitar player Andreas is.
Andreas ! PEERFECT GUITAR JAZZ !YOU IS VERY , VERY GOOD GUITARRIST !
WOW!!!!! This guy is incredible!!!!!!!
sublime!!
Jazz and blues are the best underrated music genres.
Wow! Just perfect.
MIND BLOWING🤔🤔🤔
I'm new to this guy, he's good ! :)
that's amazing....
he is a master class guitarist
High. Water. Mark. That is some burning playing!!
Nice playing...good groove. Great fat tones...
wow!
that was staggeringly musical as well as unbelievably impressive!
thanks posting this!
17 'dislike'!?
how is that possible?
@gigwalnutz1 its called scat, and although I'm not the biggest fan of it, it shows how one you are at your instrument, how you well you connect your the music in your head and heart with your fingers. Its actually quite incredible.
The Swedish Benson
when will we ever see Andreas Öberg and Ulf Wakenius perform together ?
He has an awesome tutition site too.
@awesomewelles90 Well if you read what HendrixcommaMartin actually says
"Shows that he's playing what he hears" What you hear in your head doesn't mean spontaneously composed but some melody you've heard before and revisited or personified
Great tone and feel!
I dig him!
the guitar is a washburn J6 if im not mistaken
strong George Benson influence for sure. Sounds great
Who wouldn't be playing that good if there wasn't such a beautiful woman smiling at you all the time? :)
what scale is he playing at 0:49 to 0:52??? so beautiful!!
@Steal Yo gurl t sounds like Eb Major7 arpeggio starting from D ..twice ..in different speed adding some chromatism
One word : Awersome!
Live at Muriel Anderson's Guitar Night NAMM 2008, Anaheim with Danny Gottlieb and Stuart Hamm.
amazing nuff said!
he's from another planet!!!
@HendrixcommaMartin or is he singing what he is playing? and not playing what he is singing? either way verryyyyyyy good. andreas is great
This guy is bad ass!! He's really got those Benson licks down.
I didn't necessarily say that it fit. I was responding to an earlier comment that said that what Andreas was playing was something he'd "heard a million times," and that because it had artificial harmonics in the intro that it wasn't a blues which someone would have heard before.
That's right, versatility. The Greats always show tribute to the rest of the greats through themselves. All you're seeing here is a man showing his musical influences, and I would guarantee that he would say (Obviously, George Benson) and Lenny Breau.
amazing interpretation of Charlie Parker's composition. This guy is a great musician.
I love the tone he gets when playing chords. Reminds me of Kenny Burrell
@shankaraist
o yes deffenitly a blues and nice one too!
you're not getting the reference. There's a series of videos titled something like.. "drummer at the wrong gig", I believe. Watch one of those videos and you'll understand.
that bass player is someone from Joe Satriani's band isn't he? If I'm not mistaken his name is stu hamm,
anw, very good guitarplaying!
@jkman10 Because it kind of sounds really nice !!
is that trace bundy next to andreas? with the acoustic? looks like him
Exactly. And the reality is that Andreas can play typically "moder" sounding lines as well. It just so happens that in this particular performance he's chosen a more traditional approach, and is there anything wrong with that? That alone shows versatility.
@shankaraist It's a jazz blues mate :)
@shankaraist Can you rephrase that for me? I didnt quite understand. This is a jazz/bebop blues per definition, charlie parker defined the genre and guys like Andreas help keep it alive. If you think it's stupid to call it blues because it sounds so different to real blues, then I respect that opinion, but this is what it is called :)
wow, Andreas really do sing his stuff, cool!
GREAT TALENT.......BRAVO.....!!! HE SOUND'S LIKE LEGENTARY GEORGE.BENSON
@DREAUXENTERTAINMENT outside of jazz... david gilmour always did that as well
awesome
i agree. its pretty standard lines and substitutions for bebop. not as modern as players like rosenwinkel or adam rogers, or Jonathan Kreisberg
Terrific technique + good singing feeling. Love this vid' Great!
Remind me of another great scatting vid': the "take five" duet with Al Jarreau and Kurt Elling
Should go and have a look at it ;-)
Great Player!
@vithaj92 thanks for still sticking around
Hes like Benson and Martino on steroids. I have NEVER heard any guitarist play that fluid and clean...................................and FAST.
Andreas Benson???
zach muth???
xasma spencer fike?.
This is a very ..very..Cool/Hot Bounce through...Charlie`s Great Jazz Tune...Andreas Nails It ...Just Right.
great phrasing!
@vithaj92 jazz blues? I'd say there is little difference. Many good alternatives to that exist;
expect more of those alternatives from Andrea.
For all those who are arguing about the harmonics he uses at the start: The harmonics are comparable to the intro Joey Defrancesco plays on his tune Blues for Bobby C. What Andreas is doing here has been done before and it's recogised as a standard technique. If you don't like the sound of it then say that but don't argue that it's musically out of place.
Real nice!
jazz with shred balls :D gotta love Oberg !
@shankaraist Not blues per say. But a sub genre that blends blues and jazz. Jazz-blues as I said, not "blues" "jazz-blues" I don't know why it's so hard for you to grasp that concept?
You know that Keith Jarrett doesn actually sing his lines, he has said in interviews that his vocalization are a response to what he plays.... just sayin :)
I don't agree, Stu Hamm studied jazz at berklee and played in Frank Gambale's Trio with Steve Smith :D I would say this if Flea was playing there
idk why but I haven't really heard of him, but WOW
BillyC15 was right! Thank you ...
Man! .... man ... man oh man ! This guy really burns!
GENIOUS

This is fucking insane...
Ma che chitarra è?

Un Genio!

ultrabellissimissimo
Time for an afternoon pick-me-up courtesy of a funky Swede playin' Bird....
