    There was no one like Barney Kessel. No one, no one. My gosh, what a player.

      I well remember the Great Guitars with Kessel, Ellis and Byrd. And I can't make one of them the best - they are all great.

    love that quote in Herb’s solo!

    That is how you back up your friend while they are soloing,kids.
    And that is how the solo and the rhythm guitar can compliment each other.
    VERY valuable lessons right there!
    Thank you for the music,you gentlemen. Rest in peace.GOD bless

    I attended a few of Barney's seminars and I remember someone asking him why he had obliterated the name 'Gibson' from the headstock of his guitar and he said that Gibson had declined to pay him for endorsing their guitars.

      He repudiated the model they made with his name on it. I've played several and none was very good. He was right!

    Burning. Herb Ellis is great, but Barney Kessel just does it for me. Soulful and fiery.

    They toured together back in the late 70's. Saw them in Chicago and from then on started (trying) to play jazz like this.

    In some of their performances I feel Kessel is the stronger player, but here seems like they are evenly matched.

  • @harriheinsoo
    @harriheinsoo 10 лет назад +2

    Quite rare "4 to the bar" comping by Barney - very tight! Still I think Herb handles this type of accompaniment much better.

    • @harriheinsoo
      @harriheinsoo 10 лет назад +3

      BeatBay Yes, 4 beats to the bar, Freddie Green style if you prefer... I'm a big Kessel fan but I feel that Herb leaves Barney more room for soloing. Listen how well Herb keeps his comping tight in the background. He's not pushing it too much and keeps the volume lower. They're both wonderful by all means. It's just a subjective, personal preference.

    What guitars are they playing???

    • @harriheinsoo
      @harriheinsoo 10 лет назад +1

      Barney Kessel played a modified Gibson ES-350 (CC pickup instead of the usual p90, dotted ebony fingerboard instead of the original rosewood-trapezoid). Herb Ellis played a signature guitar by Aria - Aria pro II PE-175HE.
