This series is just sublime, Alex. Not only do we learn great licks but we also learn a little guitar history and learn about you!
Thank you D C, really pleased you're enjoying it.. So much more to come... All the very best. 👍
100% correct and agreed..Im addicted atm to this series and Alex atm👍🏻🥇
@@AlexHutchingsMusic You need to do a lesson on your picking technique if you haven't already done one ! I see a lot of sweeps incorporated into your picking style here !
versatility of Mr. Hutchings as a guitarist and musician is mind boggling!
THanks man, very kind of you to say so. 👍🎸🙏
George to me is very similar to another favourite of mine; Nat ‘King’ Cole. Both became widely known for their amazing singing, yet before that were monster Jazz musicians.
Nat is killer pianist influencing Oscar Peterson and lots of others. I was always drawn to George due to feel and sound.
Great video; thankyou.
Thank you Dean, yeah interesting about NAt... very similar... Cheers for watching. All the best 👍
Wow! You REALLY have his style down. I would love to see more lessons on George. Thanks for posting!
Thank you John, I really do love George's playing, he's inspired me for most of my life.... Thanks for watching mate. 👍🎸🙏
I appreciate you changed your tuning for us mere mortals.
No worries man, I hoped that would help, glad it has... Cheers for watching man. 👍
Absolutely LOVE this episode!!!!! Last one too...
Congratulations on this series, just awesome.
Thank you mate, so pleased you're enjoying them.. All the very best 👍
Incredible musician.
Indeed mate, He's such an inspiration in so many ways. Thanks for watching ;-) 👍
@@AlexHutchingsMusic While agree George is very good, I was actually referring to you fella :)
You nailed it, or Benson nailed you. I can't tell just listening with my eyes closed.
George isn't just a great singer or guitarist, he's an incredible musician. Period.
That TONE THOUGH!!!!! OMG!
Thanks for watching mate. All the best 👍
sharp dressed man Alex for this lesson
Thank you mate... Good luck with the licks if you decide to learn them. ;-)
Breezin is sick and smooth !
Indeed, In fact I recorded several version of that for this along with Affirmation too but didn't have enough time to squeeze it into the video... A beautiful track for sure, Thanks for watching. 👍
GB guitar is unbelievable. Knowing how to play it and actually playing it are two diffferent things. Amazing SIK SKILLS!!

Fab playing. George’s Cookbook album was an eye opener. I remember doing Ain’t that peculiar, Borgia stick, Prodigal son in bands back then.
Brings back memories of Larry Carlton, Stanley Jordan, Norman Brown, and Lee Ritenour! Great video...
Thank you so much sir. All the very best 👍🎸🙏
Dayum...that George's tone is lit.

AWESOME phrasing and playing! You really got into the essence of those Benson lines!! Thanks for this, Alex!
Thank you so much Leonardo... I appreciate it... All the best mate. 👍
The live clips of GB playing "My Latin Brother" and "Take Five" are two of the most ridiculous displays of mastery on RUclips.
Oh Absolutely, I was watching that take five clip all week....
Just brilliant. Thx for watching. 👍
Wow, this is great. Really good series so far. A lot to learn and get inspired. And your playing / explanations are top notch.
Thank you Joël, I'm glad you're enjoying them... All the very best 👍😎
Love these weekly videos, always cool stuff to learn during the weekend!
Have a nice one yourself:)
That's great mate, glad you're enjoying them... Have a good one and good luck with the licks. 👍😎
Man Alex, this is just great, totally nailed it. Definitely subbed. Stumbled across George Benson and Quincy Jones and the folks rather late but am going to absorb a lot of it now. Thank you!
Thank you Yann, great to have you here. Go have fun man, Quincy is another bad ass... So much cool stuff to check out. All the best
Great advice right here just needs a little practice to get under the fingers and GB is in town.Thanks very helpful 👏
This is a great I definitely needed to learn some jazz lines because I was starting to play the same things over and over. I love how you incorporate these types of lines in a high gain situation as well. can't wait for the next episode
THank you mate, glad you enjoyed it... (Sorry I accidentally slipped on the unlike when I meant to push like...) hope it doesn't count.... Wishing you all the best 👍
I'm loving this guitar gods series :D Thanks for sharing mate!
Awesome, I'm glad... Hope you enjoy the rest of the episodes. All the best 👍
Thank you!
My pleasure, good luck learning the licks. ;-)
Lucky to see Benson live in the summer of 1980 in Toronto.
Wow I bet that was amazing. Merry Christmas mate 👍🎸🙏
I really enjoyed watching this! Incredible display of talent and versatility. Love George Benson, I'm mainly a rock/metal guitar player but I listen to all sorts of stuff to enrich musical vocabulary. Jazz is something I've always wanted to learn how to play. Cheers mate!
Thank you very much Mark, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 👍
Loved it! Great links to work on. Thanks Alex!
Awesome, my pleasure mate. Glad you enjoyed it. ;-)
Very beautiful playing Alex, thank you for sharing it with us. Cheers. : )

You always sound Amazing as well Alex.
Awesome playing man. I love your guitar tone.
Bro, I'm so happy to see you so fluid after that BS injury you went through. Hearing you clean (for a change up), i don't know how you physically feel, but it looks good and sound good. Happy for ya!
Thank you very much mate, yeah man that was some scary shit last year.... I still suffer with numbness but luckily I can play through it without too much hindrance. It still bothers me in everyday life though but I'm very grateful is wasn't worse... I'd say I was quite lucky if you can say that about such a thing. 😉 Anyway I appreciate your thoughts mate, and cheers fro watching. All the best 👍
Alex you are on fire. Great video.
Thank you Gary, glad you enjoyed it. 👍🎸🙏
hey Alex U R the best. thanks
Thank you very much mate. I’m glad you enjoyed it… 👍🎸🙏
Terrific bro. Love your playing! (Duh!). I have a GB story which is fun to retell. saw him at The Jazz Boat in lower Manhattan when Beyond the Blue Horizon was the latest. There was a young looking cat sitting on the side of the stage messing quietly around with a guitar. He’d quit during the sets. At some point maybe around the third set around 1am GB introduces that guy “I’d like you to meet someone I’ve been playing with, Earl Klugh.” At the end of the gig the pal I was with and I literally chased GB to his car, (a burgundy Monte Carlo lol). While he put his axes in the trunk he was absolutely gracious with us these two young kid fans, told us about his new record that was coming out soon, called “Body Talk”. Lol Those were the days. Thankfully for all of us there’s plenty of video of him here, some going back to the early 70s ….
Wow, how lovely... That's so very cool. Thank you for sharing. What a special memory to have... Wishing you all the best and thanks for watching my humble tribute. All the very best 👍🙏🎸
Great playing and teaching Alex! In addition to be very entertaining I found these videos very helpful to extend someone's musical vocab. Cheers 😉
My pleasure Selim. Glad you're enjoying them. 👍
nice video - very entertaining
Thanks Greg I'm glad you enjoyed it. ;-) 👍🎸🙏
great player AND teacher!
THank you very much. All the best 👍
Loved the story of you inviting your teacher to a see you play. These videos are great, cheers Alex!
So glad you enjoyed it mate, thank you for watching. See you on the next one. 👍
My favourite solo by Mr. Benson is from a tune called Modern Time Blues from the Jean-Luc Ponty album Open Mind.
Great video, love it 🙏🏻
Thank you mate. 🙌 All the best
Haha. I wasnt far off when i guessed george for the number one position. What a legend you both are
Thank you Papa, yeah you did well to spot the inspiration. Thx for watching. ;-)
