  • wow, barney kessel is a god of jazz guitar. he makes me want to practice every second of my life until i can sound like him, and at the same time give up on guitar altogether because i know i will never be half as good. wow nice post

  • There's definitely a Barney sound, but at the same time he takes such risks that you're never completely certain he's going to make it--but he always makes it. He plays on a tightrope with no net. And never falls. Amazing.

  • That is TOO good, I can't take it!!!

  • With a single flat pick, Mr. K is getting clean melody, rhythmic chords, bass and a bit of percussion, brushing the strings. I know that Chet became famous for sounding like two guitarists, but this clip of BK sounds like a whole string band!

  • like !

  • What's with that G string?

  • porca troia

  • I don't understand how he does this at all, Much less, with that GIANT ring on!

  • ibanez guitar

  • Barney was one of the most inventive jazz guitar players. With that in mind, my guess is that Barny was using that massive ring on hs right hand as a counterbalance to aid in the sweep picking and ultra-fast down-strokes so evident in this video.

  • man that is edge of your seat stuff

  • lui e Joe Pass a parere mio sono inarrivabili!
