In this lesson we tackle an incredibly fun Jimmy Bryant piece that also happens to be a perfect little arpeggio workout! The lesson materials include TAB and notation for the lead, the chords and even the bass line. I've also included my backing track for you to jam along with.
So, make yourself comfy, grab a cuppa, get the sheet music up in front of you and join me for this rambunctious trip around the fretboard.. Western swing style!

I would highly recommend downloading the lesson materials provided at the link above.. all of the topics covered in this lesson are typed up nice and neat and provided in both guitar pro and PDF formats. Having these to hand whilst following along with the video will certainly make things much easier to absorb.

This is so cool Alex. Without you, it'd take me several thousand lifetimes of incarnation to find something like this, let alone the interest to try to play it, but you've done both !

In addition to the arpeggio workout this is a great study in rhythm guitar. Alex is a proficient practitioner of "la pompe" gypsy jazz swing rhythm playing!

Great video and great essential guitar education. Thanks for choosing a Jimmy Bryant piece that us mere mortals can play. I've been a Jimmy fan for many years. His recordings with Speedy West are classic. The inhuman speed they often play at is mind-boggling and unapproachable for all but the most advanced players. There's some great KZfaq videos like the "Cabin Fever" album with some insane tunes like "Frettin' Fingers" and "Stratosphere Boogie". Jimmy has a really interesting bio on Wikipedia, and in addition he and Speedy were good friends with Leo Fender in their early Los Angeles career, and worked on the development of the Tele and the Fender steel and Fender amps.

Thanks buddy! It’s a fascinating story isn’t it?.. I have some super old recordings of Jimmy and Speedy on a radio show where the presenter talks about a prototype tele “Jimmy’s bought the little flat one with all of the wires hanging out of it!” 😂 Man, Stratosphere boogie and Frettin fingers are insane aren’t they?!.. I did learn Stratosphere wayyy back.. might have to dig that one out again! Thanks for watching and for the comment mate 🍻🧡

@@AlexFarranGuitar If you have learned Stratosphere Boogie - this would make a fantastic lesson! I tried to decipher it a while back and came up with a version I considered inaccurate. Would be great to understand your take of the song.

@AlexFarranGuitar 10 ай бұрын

Definitely one I’ll put on the list. I’ll try and dig out my hand scrawled transcription and relearn it! 🤪

@joepalooka2145 10 ай бұрын

@@AlexFarranGuitar LOL "Stratosphere Boogie"? No kidding! Well if you can actually play it up to speed I will be more than impressed. As for me, I could do it at about quarter speed, maybe up to half, but in my lifetime I will never get up to that level. I'm down here in the valley looking up the peak of Mt. Everest, but that's OK for me.

Wow great study!! Love it! Are you using delay in your performance at the beginning? Cheers

@AlexFarranGuitar 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment, really glad you enjoyed it! Yes, using some “slapback” delay.. a single, 150 millisecond repeat, with the mix set very low. Just to add a bit of that 50’s vibe 👌🏻
