  • This is the reason why players like Kurt Rosenwinkle sound lame and lifeless

  • Name of this guitar???? Anyone? thx :)

  • i typed in fast guitar solo, i didn't wanna watch that distorted guitar playing, i wanna see one of them play clean.

  • hells ya for beastly swedish players yngwie on the neo classical and oberg on the crazy ass jazz god i love this video

  • @LandonInFlorida Nah dude, Jazz comes from black people (Afro American though Black Americans shouldn't be labeled that). There is no way around it black American's were enslaved, and created the blues. More complex variations of the blues led to Jazz in which only BLACK Americans played. The term 'Jazz' was coined from white Americans who wanted to give a name to what they thought was Black Americans making a ruckus (if you will). Its true that white people put theory to Jazz but, Jazz is

  • SHIT! I Feel like im on acid!

  • this is fucking amazing, but forreal what happened to them grant green days, majority of that is just really cool to see and appreciate. i wouldn't wanna hear that on a record.

  • wow... this guy is phenomenal

  • How can people not like this?!?!?!

  • I didn't know Eric Northman played guitar.

  • Oberg's technical ability is otherworldly!!!!

  • my favorite jazz guitarist: andreas oberg

    my favorite rock guitarist: yngwie malmsteen

    both fast, sick, and sweedish :D

  • sexy

  • im dying for the tabs

  • @DreadCrawler hahaha

  • dem fingers

  • Play fast so unfortunately can not be learned. It seems that people like that are born with this talent.

    CONGRATULATIONS.

  • @JoelGuitar100 nothing about talent. all he's got to do is practice.you must practice as much as you can if you want to play fast and clear.

  • Tocar jazz já é difícil, mas nessa velocidade, é coisa de outro mundo. Fora de série.

  • I think this is heaven. Are there any good jazz 45s like this type of fast playing with organs in it also? Anyone know thank you

  • fy faen han er god!

  • Does anyone know what this tune is?? Impressions does have a super fast solo section but I think i hear different changes

  • @bufeva

    Just a minor Blues! Mr PC by Coltrane type of changes

  • @jazz1bro -He has ridiculously virtuostic technical ability though.....regardless that he is playing 'just a minor blues" on this video. He's a stone cold virtuoso like, say, Jimmy Bruno!

  • is this impressions...?

  • holy bum

    improvising at that speed and with probably the hardest genre to play to - this is just mindblowing

  • this is bebop at its finest truely brilliant improvisation

  • @xxx000666 Ugh, no kidding.

  • scary :O

  • Learn to play like this??? I'd have to live to 150!

  • 1:47 into the video, he's jerking the guitar off...lol

  • frickin awesome

  • how is this type of jazz called? i love it.. so fast..

  • @joaquinb333 bebop

  • Astounding speed and technique, wow! As a listener, I find after a few minutes at this speed , I fell suffocated. I feel like my ears want a coffee break On seeing John McLaughlin in concert in the seventies, I felt the same way. Mind blowing clip, thanks for posting.

  • Pat Martino influences inside !

  • I've ever realized that Yngwie was the swedish fastest guitar player.....is not so!

  • @1974romina Malmsteen should give Andreas a call and they can make a Neo Classical Fusion Jazz Album :)

  • vaze, ez nagyon jo!

  • That's what I call technique. He's basically shredding with a CLEAN tone! Ask all the metal shredders like batio, petrucci and cooley to play this and they will fail, because it''s much harder to play fast with a clean tone.

  • @RediForKing Playing with clean or distortion are two different things, they are dramatic changes of the instrument. Neither way is easy, and I doubt that the top players in either style would be unable to adapt to the other if they actually had interest in doing so.

  • @RediForKing you're an idiot. do you even play guitar? or ever watch petrucci play or batio play? they play "clean" with a distorted tone when you play at those speeds if you don't play "clean" with distortion not a single note you play will have any definition and it'll all just be one blurred mess with no definition. yes this guys good but theres no need to insult other guitarist who have way more accomplishments under their belt.

  • @VirgilGrin hahahaha...so John Petrucci has accomplished way more than Andreas Oberg? oh you sad, stupid little man

  • @RediForKing wow, nice choice of examples...you basically picked all the players that could and can shred clean haha

  • GG can play anything but,,, hmm I'm not sure about this one...Andreas Oberg,,, he's so good that I even bought his "Young Guitarist" album.

  • @ehd1250 Guthrie govan cant play bebop like this

  • think Guthrie Govan can top this? this is so insanely complex and fast :O

  • Music and many other things mature. Why don't arguments on youtube??? It's always the same. Every story starts somewhere but it has to develop otherwise it would be a totally crap story. Jazz is just the same, it has origins, but we're past that now. You shouldn't deny talent just because it's modern and the players are alive. That's not to say you shouldn't aknowledge the greats that inspired them and those before, if you do it makes the progression of jazz even more incredible.

  • whoaaaa, I wanna do that

  • Que diabos vc toca pra caramba,que jazz show mano eu viajo nesse seu jazz ,essa improvisação ai ta show de bola,sou guitarrista Brasileiro.

  • jazz is pretty hard to play......

  • Excellent !! my friend. Thumbs up of course. G. 

  • nice

  • Music is a human form of expression. Fuck racist drivel.

  • 0.o

  • GREATEST GUITAR HERO PLAYER EVER! but really quite amazing, a true virtuoso indeed.

  • スーパー味玉

  • wow man,i wish i understood all the chromatisism (while still working within some sort of structure).. incredible!

  • O_O

  • WoW!

    Fuck the NINTENDO Wi . guitar !!!

  • THE BEST OF JAZZ !!!

  • And people say that jazz is an afro- american form of expression. Don`t make me laugh!!!

  • @rodjesusavantgard

    jazz is an afro - american form of expression

    hahahhahaha why has it taken a month for some one to write back

  • @rodjesusavantgard Laugh all you will, jazz is music that came out of the African-american experience, whether you like it or not. It doesn't mean that nobody else can play it, that's obviously not true proven a million times over, just like classical coming out of a basic European sensibility doesn't mean nobody else can play it. Music is human. But you still can't deny or change the history of the origin of a certain genre.

  • @Xelanderthomas

    100% incorrect. Jazz has no innate connection to the "African American Experience". Jazz is a spontaneous gesture of human expression, irrespective of race, which is one of it's more beautiful things. For those periods of time when you can say "Look! Most great Jazz musicians during this era were black!", I can go a step back and point out all the white musicians who developed the musical theory upon which jazz is built. It truly is a neutral thing. If you're human, jazz works.

  • @LandonInFlorida So can't wait for your publications to come out and prove all jazz history wrong. Jazz IS eclectic and if you think that Africans haven't brought anything to the mix, you're just plain wrong and obviously haven't read anything that (white) composers of the time have written about African song and rhythm and their fascination therewith. Which you should if you chose to lecture people on that topic.

  • @Xelanderthomas also, not to mention that, AFrica is "geographically" way more close to europe than USA...(does that count so much? )

  • yes but can he play slow? ;-)

  • Beautiful playing.. Guitar sounds awesome!

  • Sweet Jesus on a stick.

  • he is awesome there is also an awesome movie of him playing with jimmy rosenberg who to me is the greatest virtuoso of all time people should look them up playing together its amazing

  • Bireli  Langrene trademark 1:52

  • He is very fast, which to me, is only moderately impressive on it's own. But his approach to soloing, note choice, and soulfulness is quite astounding when combined. I am very delighted to have found this guy!

  • I mean yes it's very fast and technically very good, but does that really make it good music. To me it's just a bit over the top even for improvised jazzy guitar. I felt that way about alot of Steve Vai stuff too when I got his album it was just hard to listen to, like there was just too much going on al the time. This is only my opinion btw before someone slates me and tells me I know nothing of music etc

  • @daveOrighty

    This is probably all improvisation though, which means that it's DEFINATELY a lot better than many rock/metal players as he can think o thses licks that work as melodies as he plays them with no forethought or composition at all.

  • @heavymetalmaniac616EXACTLY!

    Well spoken...I have made this comment before,but I will say it again.I have been playing metal for years, and I can shred with the best of them.

    However-this style is a whole new ballgame.Sometimes I wonder if I will EVER be able to improvise like this!

    I just keep practicing.

    You made a great comment Sir!

  • Super-fluency, great knowledge of the fretboard - and what notes 'fit', plus an astounding physical dexterity. This type of stuff would be difficult on any guitar, but jazz type instruments are usually more demanding for fast work [heavier strings etc]. Like all solos, only the test of time - and multiple listenings would reveal the 'depths' etc.

  • very very very Metheny/Lagrene/Benson..with the classic unmistakenably Scandinavian Finger Speed (ask Yingwie...)

  • @johnnyrocksable I checked out some Guthrie Govan. He's certainly a monster shredder. I'd say that these two are kind of in different universes though. Govan doesn't seem to play in more than one key, or over the changes. Definitely on par for notes-per-second, but there is a world of harmonic complexity between these two players. Govan is an interesting shredder, but I feel Oberg is a far superior player. IMHO. Still, there's plenty of room for many guitarists and styles in the world!

  • @kvidmaster I agree

  • Check out Guthrie Govan. He is the rock version of this guy. They both shread jazz licks like crazy, but with two different tones. Andreas is killer. So is Guthrie.

  • This is one of the best Guitar performances Ive ever listened to and Ive listened to a lot since Im a Jazz-guitar freak. The most amazing is the guy comes from Sweden of all places and not US or UK. He will become one of the classic ones in the future.

  • @sellammar The UK?

  • Comment removed

  • Yes, but can he play ERUPTION! Lol.

  • @vanight eruption has nothing on this lol

  • @vanight Actually this is 100x harder than playing eruption.

  • @narutoguy56 uhmmm... no, i think it's closer to 1000000 times harder

  • THIS is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous....

  • GreAT job Andreas from Andres

  • yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • Guitar playing is amazing!!! 

  • what song is this?

  • motherfucker..

  • Love it...

  • nice !...カッコ良いな~~~です.

  • i think this is wath Oberg do beter.. very very good!!

  • wow, look at those chromatics! theyre flying!

  • great. whew ...

  • Lovely solo.. At times his phrasing reminds me of pat metheny.. some parts especially reminds me of a solo pat did on the tune "Have you heard" from some concert... Well anyway fantastic stuff..

  • i must learn those first 5 seconds help anyone? lol its pretty fast for me to sound most of it

  • he's got freakin' spider fingers mannnnnn..........

  • My God, how is it that every youtube video has a Justin Beiber comment on it. I don't give a shit a about Justin Beiber so please stop using him as a reference point of how bad mainstream music is. No need to preach to the converted.

  • I don't even know what to say..lol he's too damn good!

  • puts metal guitarist to shame! he doesnt need any distortion to sound great in the studio or live

  • This guy is fantastic too bad he is not American but Swedish. Such a great Guitarist should be American or at least British.

  • @sellammar that is an incredibly stupid comment.

  • @Stringprodigy Agreed in every way,

  • @Stringprodigy Agreed.

  • HOLY HELL! how could 33 not like this?!

  • @danielkuksnopp my guess is they're either vocalists or blink182 fans :)

  • @spacetrey ?maybe its good to know i am a blink fan? but i can appreciate this music to..

    my gues is maybe there to many ppl like you ;)

  • @spacetrey Hey hey, you can like Blink 182 and Andreas Oberg! You certainly can't compare the two though. Completely different.

  • @spacetrey im both a jazz musician and a fan of blink 182... nothing wrong with that?

  • @danielkuksnopp 33 deaf people,maybe...?

  • phenomenal!

  • andreas is the best jazz guitarplayer of the new generation. he is awesome. like the charlie parker of the guitar.

  • TAB?

  • Wow, this guy have some serious skills O_O

  • Muy bueno!

  • Oh my god this guy is amazing. Is he playing a GB10?

  • awesome, like george benson and others

  • killin' !

  • sounds like a piano

  • what song is this??

  • Insane!

  • He makes the neck of that guitar seem so small

  • O_o

  • He's amazing ! To bad true talent is rarely appreciated. People just go to commercial crap like Justin Beiber or many others...

    Thumbs up for real talent !!!

  • is that an ES-175D? i totally want it because guitar legend Steve Howe of Yes has it =D

  • @sillyhatday I want it too, but because guitar virtuoso Andreas Oberg has it.

  • @JazzJunkie4 this is bebop...Charlie Christian,George Benson,Charlie Parker influences i think...i have same style of playing but im not that fast lol hes very good.bebop is the stuff!hes the jazzman!

  • @MrJairCarvalho Ok..... so why are telling me this? I know what bebop is and I can hear his influences. I think you might have hit reply instead of post.

  • @sillyhatday No.

    It's some Washburn.

  • I agree that jazz players are fantastic and for the most part are much more versed in what they're playing than many rock guitarists, but after a point it still becomes a matter of playing what you know. You can write a great solo with E blues scale or A diminished - it all comes down to what licks and scales you know best.

  • This guy is outstanding

  • Quite amazing. But. Really uninspired cliche lines. This has all been done before. He's just doing it a bit faster.

  • Fabulous playing..I love this guy..He is right up there with people like Pat Martino,George Benson and Bireli Lagrene..Sorry- Pat Metheny is not included on this list.I hope that I don't offend any Metheny worshippers,but i really don't think that Metheny can hold a candle up to this guy.

  • Wow that was absolutely spectacular. Splendid indeed.

  • great man!!

  • Sounds like Oleo sometimes

  • what's the name of that tune?

  • @delpimpo The name of the tune is "September Blues", it's on his Young Jazz Guitarist Album

  • I consider you a master of the guitar, you deserve respect

  • I'm a metal and rock fan, and don't usually like jazz, but Damn ! That guy is a genius !

    Instead of learning my phrygian scales I think I'll try to learn some jazz stuff !

  • Too much Benson..

    great chops though-clean and clear. Andreas is a master of every jazz guitar technique exists. Respect.

  • I'm not into shredding (or super fast playing), but this is awesome. one of the best bebop stuff i heard on the guitar. i am really impressed! :)

  • very good!! you are wonderful!!

    I love you play !!

    so,django, josco sutephern

  • THIS is what makes me want to practice more... thank you for posting such a wonderful guitar - practice inspiring - vid!!!

  • Good lord..

    Does he have huge hands or does that neck look small?

  • Great guitarist always come from Sweden e.g Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Mattias IA Ekhlund, Pete Lesperance ( Canadian but his cousin is in Sweden)

  • How does a regular human being get to this level?

  • He's Swedish. It doesn't really matter though, since music is universal..

  • holy awesomeness!!!!!!!

  • Is he from denmark

  • @exatras Nope, from sweden.

  • @exatras Sweden

  • Great Thanks for sharing

  • Excellent!!!

    Grandma mary

  • damn

  • joe Satriani was a Jazz guitarrist. Steve Vai has worked with frank Zappa...and he is basicly based on incredible time signatures and complex melodies.

    I think they could do it in a different way....like John MacLaughlin....I havent seen him playing something like this, despite of beeing a Jazz great.

  • Great playing, reminds me of Pat Martino.

  • This is really something

  • ughhh dude....your amazing!...I wanna learn how to play like you!

  • you know if there are websites that have huge archives of jam music, ive always wondered why the same doesnt happen with jazz artists, id gladly pay a small fee to get live shows like this if they didnt want to make it free

  • wow

  • Is he Yngwie's son?

  • that's fairly insulting

  • This guy is awesome. Im more of a hard bop fan though. Guys like kenny burrell and grant green, although not nearly as fast, do it for me more. Something about those guys and how they swing and put beautiful chords in their solo's. I wish this guy did that because he would truly be insane.

  • in regard of the guitar players you mentioned, you might want to checkout 'boogaloo joe jones', in case you don not know and love his music already. had bernard purdie on drums btw.

    cheers and jazz,

    thilo

  • This guy does. I have him as the teacher on his lesson site and i couldn't believe how good he was at improvising beautiful chord-melodies. He also has incredible technique even using the thumb like wes. (I would say even better than wes at using the thumb) This guy is nothing short of incredible.

  • i love this stuff.

  • Amazing!

  • i was watching Hot club de Finlande and it was awesome!! This guy is a master.

  • My uncle (Ari) played with him tonight with the Hot Club de Finlande!

  • I just came from his gig today, and he was shredding like this on an accoustic guitar! He's an true guitar wizard!

    Omg it was cool to watch, and of course, listen!

    Hot club de Finlande!

  • F antastic!

  • And this is why I want to learn how to play guitar.

  • he is all and i mean all over the neck.

  • Bravo!

  • Awesome! Well done!
