Grazie Alessio. Questi vecchi video sono importantissimi per capire la tecnica e lo spirito della chitarra Jazz. Io ne ho alcuni di Joe Pass, Jimmy Bruno, Barney Kessel etc… sono VHS che nonostante la tecnica di ripresa video e sonora non fosse perfetta come oggi, rimangono delle pietre miliari per l‘apprendimento, senza fronzoli e acrobatica teoria.
In 1987 (I think) in Denver Colorado at the Paramount theater Herb Ellis played a concert with jazz guitar great Johnny Smith. After the show my friend and I went to a bar and there was Herb Ellis and Johnny Smith waiting for a table. I introduced myself to Herb and Johnny. They spoke to me in a very uplifting manner and briefly discussed life as a jazz musician. They were both very nice and provided some great advice which I immediately applied to my own aspirations. I also later met Chet Atkins who advised something similar. Basically, play for fun and personal development because the risk of going nowhere with playing is real.
What are you talking about ? He shifts but still uses 4 fingers. Anyhow what's on your mind bro ? Use of 4 fingers ? use of 3 fingers ? Reality is the answer : The great Django Reinhardt used 2 fingers to solo, due do severe injury ! George Benson and Wes Montgomery use mostly 3 fingers to solo. Tal farlow had hudge Hands, Allan Holdsworth had huge hands. Reality. Classical guitar fingering is another story, related to the music. So no fingering rules, only music rules the fingering.
My wife is an excellent cellist, and when she hears playing along with b.b. or somebody, she always yells down, "You are out of tune!" How does she know?
Use Headphones. Classical musicians are often highly strung! It’s a tough world full of traps for young and old alike. Mind you, so is the world of Jazz!

Today more than ever.Remember what songs Herb and Johnny Smith played?
one thing I`ve noticed is the best musicians are good at explaining music in practical terms...so it`s easy to understand
Gotta love Herb Ellis great guitarist and knows what hes on about
💪
Excellent, thanks for sharing !
I have never heard a guitar player address the job of tuning- i admire him a lot for briefly talking about this huge,important subject.
One of the true greats

Sempre un piacere ascoltare il grande Herbie,cosi' come lo chiamava Oscar Peterson.Peccato non ci siamo video di esibizioni con Joe Pass.
Fantastico....grazie...
Is that a damper at the nut?
Yep, that one was design and made by George van Eps, the great 7 string jazz player.
Gold .
Amen😃👌🏼🙏🏼👏❤️🎶💯🎸
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Is that an L5
These REH videos were expensive at the time. Probably $80 ea. I never bought this one, but wanted it. Thanks for posting. 😊
@@graemehill5998 you can find for free on RUclips 😀
Does it sound flat?
Yea
If like Herb says, we all could play what we hear in our heads, then we'd not need this video to begin with right?
8:06 at the high strings he plays with his 3 fingers and not all four…. Any reason to that… Does anyone else ?

What's that device over the nut??
A Van Eps string dampener.
@@nicolaifoss6483 Ah! So you get the fretted sound on open strings?
@@marccawood no its so the open strings dont ring out on the guitar, i have never seen a jazz player use one just rock players when doing tapping
@@nicolaifoss6483 i think nowadays shredders use some kind of similar device….herb was ahead of em all ☺️
A nut clamp
great guy Herb met him and his beautiful red haired daughter Kerry years ago. He was such a gentlemen and she was sooooooooo HOT!
My wife is an excellent cellist, and when she hears playing along with b.b. or somebody, she always yells down, "You are out of tune!" How does she know?
She obviously has a great ear and when somebody is out of tune it probably almost makes her cry...
Your ear gets trained. A cellist works for many years to become one, and they are all that time dealing with the intonation of every note.
Use Headphones. Classical musicians are often highly strung! It’s a tough world full of traps for young and old alike. Mind you, so is the world of Jazz!
Ear training. Being in tune and in tone puts you light years ahead of other musicians.
