Pete Callard's Jazz Fusion Bonanza

[YaoiSupporter000]

What song is that at 0:18?

[mmspedro78]

Some people call it elevator music, I just use to call it AWESOME !!!

[marcosmourha]

Muito bommmm!!!

[Eric333333333]

what's the song at 1:12 ?

[Harpender]

he took the holdsworth lick right out of devil take the hindmost at 1:36,

in "Allan holdsworth devil take the hindmost studio version" at 2:27

[WeAskThePeople]

all time fave gtr players... thanks.. expand & fill the universe with music.

[Samymakintosh]

the firste Michael brecker lick is from the studio version of " chromazone " by mike stern ... ^^

[Modes9]

I like several of them, but Allan is probably my favorite in terms of raw creativity. He's one of the best "lick-free" improvisers out there. It would have been nice to hear Frank Gambale. Someone mentioned Michael Brecker. I think it will be a while before the guitar gets to that level, but thanks to Birelli, Allan, and Frank, I'm beginning to believe it's possible.

[guitarstudent101]

@Modes9 ITs not that he's lick free, its just he knows so many he never plays the same one twice

[thps89]

amazing playing!

[medallero1]

1:24 The sixteen men of tain

1:35 Devil Take the Hindmost

4:29 5 to 10

[dstrats]

Hey, What was the name of that song Eric Johnson was playing? What album was that from? I never hear that one. Thanks!

[materialreal2012]

whats the name of the second tune/player? also what scofield tune is playing at 2:37?

[florafox]

@materialreal2012 the second tune is an improvisation over the title "frevo rasgueado" (friday night) written by E.Gismonti. I am not sure who plays, i admit it sounds like McLaughlin..

[medallero1]

Amazing Arpeggio

Who plays at 0:02

[JonP1961]

@medallero1

I'd like to know as well. The tone reminds me a little of Kevin Eubanks' acoustic work.

[medallero1]

@JonP1961

The song is Guardian Angel, by John McLaughlin

[guitarstudent101]

What Issue of guitar techniques was this from??

[guitarstudent101]

This guy is awesome!

[AndreNieri]

man, that's awesome, you also nailed the TONE of each guy... really impressive.

[qwertypoiu4321]

What song is at 0:40?

[yagamei]

That lick from the Metheny lesson was the best thing ever. I studied the hell out of it. Love what he does with Third Wind!

[lintuxter]

i only want to know where can i find the second song dammit.

[CharlyTejeda]

INMORTALITY

[BaconFiend86]

Pete, me and my friends were exploring some other dimensions the other night and watched that interview that you did with Shpongle in Moscow. we were in stitches, Raja is hilarious!

[stratogy]

u nailed everyone there aiy!

[BigCowz]

anyone know what 0.26 is and 2:11 ??

[ADogHasFarted]

Would have been nice to have a title of the artist appear with each transition. Some people we seed with the idea of fusion jazz would like to take it a step further. "Empower them, and they empower you..." (c)MichaelVernonDavis

[BigCowz]

Nice video 

[LoBoExtreme]

Can you recommend me some artists...with more of a guitar fusion style

Sorry for my bad english

[youngman098]

@LoBoExtreme you should check out Cynic. They are a little heavier style of music though. LIke metal/Jazzfusion. Still worth checking out though! And dont worry about the english man, i bet none of us could speak your language. haha

[guitarstudent101]

@youngman098 They are great but i think the death metal stuff they do will turn off the fusion guys!! if theyare patient and listen to everything they might pick out a few things they dig!

[Scratch47]

6:06 - one of the best licks ever

[gedenbyfield]

If you guys like Pete's stuff, be sure to check out the interview I'll be doing with him this week on live4guitar

[TheBanyanEmperor]

I can't believe how spot on the Eric Johnson bit is.

[filmfan00]

btw there needs to be more Eric Johnson

[filmfan00]

just have to say this is absolutely amazing, Mr. Callard if you can imitate these players' styles so well, your future as one of the greatest guitar players in the world is on its way

[CkerCky]

why do we hear a guitar when michael brecker's pic is on? lol

[shadowknight132]

@CkerCky

Because the guitar like the piano has the ability to imitate other instruments. Thats how.

[jacoobherrman]

Please what is that song by Scott Henderson at 0:28 ??? Does anyone know the song title and album? Thank you so much that help me

[emmadetten]

haha! It's great fun to hear these classic guitar tunes done slightly wrong. McLaughlin's Guardian Angels, Sco's So You Say, Holdsworth's Shallow Sea & Devil Take The Hindmost, Pat Metheny's Minuano. It's like a party guessing game, which tune is that? and that? Or watching tv commercials with lookalikes. But. Clones don't count. What do you sound like Pete?

[guitarran]

Great left brain analyzation of style(s) and mimic. Okay, the truth is I really don't give

a shit. I'm personal sick of imitation. I rather hear many mistakes and "personal"

style then this -- its disturbing too me. Enough is enough, let go back to personal

exploration of identity instead sure technical masturbation. The new that's sot after is individuality similar to that artists you're emulating, be it less or more is better than

coping. :(

[Trapodactylus]

Great technique, great feeling. I wonder what the "real" Pete Callard himself sounds like.

[ljguitar91]

Anyone know if that's an actual Scofield song at 2:36?

If so what is it called?

[pobinr]

How ordinary is PM compared to AH. Wish one of those Carvin HF2's would crop up in UK for sale !

[juiceweaselism]

Best non-Holdsworth-Holdsworth ever. This guy has ballbreaking skills.

[CoronadoFabien]

the first song of wes montgomery is tequila,

check at 2'10 on the original song

[Growlycake]

In response to all the questions asking which song is playing when, they're all snippets 'in the style of' these players so whilst they will resemble (or in the case of a particular Holdsworth lick - from what I gather - pretty much mimic) part of a particular song, they're not technically from any songs. Or something like that. I have a decent portion of Scott Henderson & Tribal Tech stuff in my collection but not much by the other guys so you will all probably have a better idea than me!

[pobinr]

@Growlycake Not sure what you mean by - ' they're all snippets 'in the style of' these players '.

They are all genuine clips of the players.

[Growlycake]

@pobinr I think that's how Pete refers to them in his columns - generally the way the lessons work is any examples are usually either simply in the style of the artist or a very close approximation of a particular lick from a song - perhaps as you say some of them are exactly what was played on original songs - I wouldn't really know as I don't have a whole lot of work by many of these guys. However as someone pointed out below, the Michael Brecker examples obviously aren't genuine clips ;)

[Growlycake]

Or did you mean that the audio clips are actually taken from original songs? GT wouldn't have the rights to do that - Pete Callard is playing all the examples you are hearing here. The great big talented git.

[MrSatanStalker666]

@Growlycake im not sure if im right but is that eric johnson at 0:55

[florafox]

@Growlycake i am sure he is a great player, but are YOU sure all the pieces were played by himself? Did you see him doing this session ?

I doubt it. by the way who is GT ?

[sharkdrog]

please what song is the 2nd by scott hernderson!!!!! cool!!!!!!

[MaXaNoMaLoUs]

wait.... Pete played all this??? Im a holdworth freak and those licks were AWESOME!.. im soo jealous, the joe pass was awesome as well.. it was ALL Awesome! inspiring to say the least

[ThatBrownFella]

is that pat metheny's 'have you heard' at 1:45 ? if not which song is it?!

[ljguitar91]

@ThatBrownFella I believe it's the first guitar solo section from 'Third Wind' from the album 'Still Life (Talking)'

[trevskiw2008]

What is that song Allan holdsworth played at 3.16 onwards?

thanks.

[jamesmills14]

do you have any copies of the articles featured??? i would really appreciate a look at them if you don't mind :) thanks very much. James

[Growlycake]

I don't have them uploaded unfortunately and with the scanner being out of action (again) for the time being I doubt they'll appear anytime soon, so apologies. However, I do suggest to everyone that trying to learn these licks (& others) by ear will be much more beneficial to your playing & musicianship than having tabs & video demonstrations spoon-fed to you. That's how all these guys did it!

[mgzt190plus]

Hey glad to see someone is posting for Pete. He is a fantastic guitar player and teacher.

Oh and it was I that took the opening picture of Pete on this vid, when we were on tour with Craig Charles' band "The Eye"

And Pete if you are reading, I still want a copy of that wicked funk music you played in your car on the way to a gig in Essex!

[Growlycake]

Good work, hope you don't mind my usage of the pic!

[mgzt190plus]

No problem mate, be my guest. I have some video of Pete rehearsing with Craig and the rest of the band. And live footage of them playing on Janice Long's Radio 2 show!

[sebarequiem]

please in what guitar techniques number is this article or lesson from??

[Growlycake]

It's from several different issues - can't remember exactly which ones off the top of my head but if I get chance to have a scoot through them all then I'll let you know.

[fusionakis]

I gave this a 4 star rating by mistake. It is definitely a 5 star one. Great playing! This player is really good...

[Tacoguitar]

Whoa Whoa WHoa! i had no idea who Pete was before this, i am amazed!!!!

[flatpicking]

I don't know Pete Callard either BUT I do have these examples from "Guitar Techniques" magazine.....He is a truly Great guitar player.....

[sludgefingers]

Makes you wish he would post a couple of more vids. The audience vids on YT of him playing are impressive but it would be good to see something specially produced. (I think I mean showing this stuff off).

[Growlycake]

I've don't know Pete personally at all, but from what one of my ACM tutors was telling me he'd probably be the last person to do that - really quiet unassuming sort of guy, happy to let others take center stage & probably not comfortable being in the spotlight sort of thing. I doubt very much he'd appreciate this video being posted to be honest! (Sorry Pete)

[3shiftgtr]

Yikes....!!!!!

[bergerbrain]

this guy is unbelievable if he can cop all these players so accurately!

[elekbuzz]

That holdsworth line @ 1:36... check out 3:27 in this clip. watch?v=4rgXY8YtnBo&feature=ch­annel_page

:D

[sludgefingers]

That exact line (at 1:36) was transcribed by Steve Vai in a 1986 issue of Guitar Player - not that that makes it any easier to play of course.

[flatpicking]

Ha ha...Lots of people say that....BUT it IS Pete Callared......I have All the magazines and cds from guitar techniques....He is a Brilliant player.....

[Ninjalaina]

I will say this. The Holdsworth stuff is Allan himself, I own the recordings. I have some of the Henderson as well, and it's Scott himself playing here...so my guess is that he's compiled a lot of great snippets, but is not playing himself.

[Growlycake]

I appreciate you watching and commenting, but I assure you that Pete Callard is quite simply that good and sounds that authentic. Not to mention that such an established magazine would never get away with simply using original recordings without permission and passing them off as their own.

[Gregorypeckory]

I'm pretty sure it wasn't Michael Brecker on the guitar-o-phone.

[feelee15]

hahaha great comment

[prudence121]

If I was Gary Novak or Kirk Covington I'd be really pissed that you thought I sonded like that. Listen beyond the guitar for once in your life.

[Growlycake]

If you're referring to the drums in the backing tracks (why else mention drummers?) then obviously the backings would've been put together pretty quickly with the obvious emphasis being placed on the guitar (or guitar-o-phone) parts - the magazine is called Guitar Techniques after all ;)

[kliff10]

Yeah, Pete callard is Amazing, I have many oif these fro guitar techniques....Genius!

[symphonia2008]

pleasure to watch this! thk fr posting

[sebarequiem]

awesome!!!!!!!!!

[Growlycake]

Nah I gave Guthrie some well earned time off, this one is all Pete - it always astounded me how he managed to nail the style of every player he looked at so I figured it was time to let all those non GT readers in on it :)

[jwwetzel]

Cheers! this is brilliant? Is this Pete Callard actually playing?

[jwwetzel]

LoL no question mark in there needed. It IS brilliant. I only ask, cause that sounds an awful lot like Guthrie ;)
