Thanks for watching everyone! For further study of the examples shown in the video, check out my Patreon page for PDF material for this concept and many others ► www.patreon.com/robbiebarnby

For me it’s fine that you take time to do this videos, because each one takes around 20 years to really absorb all the info and apply it as clean and musically as you do, sometimes I forget you’ve played guitar for 120 years 😅

One reason I love Julian Lage is because of his use of clusters. Glad I found your channel again Robbie!

Never clicked on a notification so fast in my entire life. Always want more videos from you!!

genuinely class content, rare thing on the internet, let's go robbie. we appreciate the hard work

Return of the boss!

I am from India, and I only somewhat understand the videos you post.. but I would like to say- the videos are poetry, it's the same feeling I used to have when my favourite literature teacher gave me life changing advice. I hope that someday I will understand your videos fully. Much mucccch respect and love Mr. Robbie, you are unforgettable as are your lessons.

New Robbie video! Christmas came early🎅💝

Marvellous video yet again, thank you! Just in time for me to spend much of my Christmas break working through these concepts!

Robbie has my vote as perhaps the Globes Top Instructors, I don't Know of to many Guitarist who can touch his style of advanced playing, I RESPECT THIS GUY, and have placed him at the Top of our Sites Greatest players on earth today, I am a Pro 35 year veteran of guitar yet I still cant hold a candle to this EXPERT, Thumbs up Bobbie

Uff a new video! I enjoy your content so much, for me you are the best guitar instructor on whole youtube! Also your patreon is top notch. Thanks for your hard work!

The intro was enough for me to subscribe

Hello Robbie, Thanks for the new lesson "clusters".

Thanks Robbie, this is another Gold video!...advanced Happy New Year! :D

The Master

I don't understand most of the things you've said in your videos. But you are one of the most prominent guitar player this day.... I love the way you create the sound.. Super amazing, totally satisfying to hear it.. Thanks..

Love this guy, to me he's like the Stephen Howking of harmony. This amount of knowledge takes years and years to master.

WOW Rob. ... it's been a while since ... but than you got something! Nice cluster :)

You've quickly become my favorite guitar channel. Thank you Robbie!

Adore your channel ❤️

Discovering the music of Bill Frisell as a teenager made me a lover of clusters. IN Line had just come out and I read about him in a guitar magazine and the writer was forced to be poetic in order to describe the music. It was a couple more years before I actually heard Frisell, but my imagination was sparked by descriptions of his playing. I was like: I want to use chord fragments and dissonant clusters... whatever that means. When I finally heard him, I was very happy to find that the writers description and my imagination had come pretty close to the real thing. Great playing btw. I love it when I innocently open a guitar lesson video and I'm confronted with a true artist. It comes through in every note you play. Thanks for the video.

🤯 amazing

amazing guitarist

I’ve been staring at his 335 for the last 4 minutes and haven’t heard a single word he said. I’m such a space brain.

Really grateful for your lessons It really helps me a lot in 3 months

Can't wait to spend time with this over the holidays Robbie, I've always tried to find these sounds in my playing but my approach is SO much more haphazard and ill-informed! Thanks so much for sharing, I'll be sure to reach out in the new year for some new lessons as the few I found time for this year have totally changed my approach and I'm enjoying guitar so much more than I was.

Geez, sick, just sick. you astound me:)

Hey Robbie!!! Wow!!!

Brillant work thank you so much !

First time I heard your theme song was like....bro, chill. Now I yearn for it XD

This was fantastic Robbie.

Thank you so much for you class work …. I learn something each time I watch

In love with these voicings

I love these dissonant/discordant sounds. Many are really beautiful (in their own ways). Knowing how, where (when) & why to use them is the key. Thanks. I just discovered your site & subscribed right away.

You make it look easy Mate.. very very nice video .. Thank You

Great. Thank you so much

Beautiful chords and counter lines!

I love this one! Thank you Robbie!

Great presentation- sound quality, video production, graphics, musical ideas, clear explanations. Bravo!

Bloody brilliant as always. See you in 6 months while I absorb this!

Quality and scale of your work is really amazing. Very generous of you to share it in this way. This video reminded me of a concept I enjoy that is somewhat related. It utilizes three consecutive diatonic notes. For example A, B, C on the high e string. You then drop B and C down an octave to 3rd and 2nd string respectively. That way you get a pretty three note voicing consisting of a halftone cluster and a minor seventh up top, which is itself an inverted whole tone cluster. Next you can do the same for B, C, D; C, D, E etc.. Using diatonic C major scale you'll get three fingerings, one for each note combination ( W-H, H-W, W-W). While any note from C major functions as a bass you can play any of these voicings over it getting various chord tones and extensions. It's really fun to play them horizontally up and down the scale on the higher strings (middle strings fingerings are a bit tricky and sound darker). After a bit of practice these voicings are really easy to incorporate in ones playing, both melodically and harmonically. Hope this will be useful for someone :)

Brilliant stuff.

impresionante clase... saludo desde argentina

Another insanely valuable resource from you! Thanks mate

great lesson way to go'wonderfull stuf

Fantastic though provoking lesson

Ouill ouill J'ai mal aux doigts ! a le voir jouer ! quel talent !

amazing lesson .Very dense as well.

Fantastic video Robbie!

thanks for all these videos man you are great

Hey Robbie. I hope this finds you well. If I could, I would like to ask you to share your journey in music and how you progressed. Maybe let us know what we’re some of the landmarks in your travels. I’m truly grateful for the content you share. These lessons are priceless. Thank you 💯👍

This sounds reminds me of Moonlight in Vermont by Johnny Smith...nice!

Lovely!

22:53...the shinola record chord i heard Sco doing lots of these.. Billy F in here too Monder... always loved clusters oh and ole AH and Mick...one time i saw Mick playing some clusters and i said oh i got those from u yrs ago he laughed and said that chord goes way back

Professor of Guitar

Incredible pinky strength, sir! I thought mine was good, but I wouldn't mind trading for a day! 😆

Perfect!

Wow, not too fast there Mr. Barnby, I was still working on your last video…great stuff

Wonderful Lesson. You are insane

Interesting. Thanks

Awesome lesson 👏 but l missed out because of red ink.l gave up going practical and just listened missing out a lot on this neo classic sound arrangements😬😮‍💨😢.That was the ultimate tutorial l needed to understand open chords qnd modal arrangements

Amazing !!! I love it !!!!

It is really easy: if you are stuck with your playing and need new ideas, check out, what Robbie has to offer and do the work. Years of fulfilling practise at least for me.

Fantastic

Miss your lesson, Its been a while

Damn this rules

My favorite evil chord is the 002301 and ofcourse the tritone of Satan. Please bring us more evil chords for Halloween Mr Barnby !! I would love to learn more. Was great fun playing through youre clusters.

Hello Robbie, I am a new subscriber.

Feliz Navidad Robbie!!

Best christmas gifts be like

Thanks god for let me find this guitarris 🙏 amen

hello Robbie I would like you to teach more about beautiful chords, unusual chords, exotic chords and open chord strings, it would be interesting if you upload some videos with this kind of material, thank you very much

Great job !! Is it possible to have a video aboud your guitar sound and music equipment ?

excelent demostration! maybe you can do some clip on the implementation of the harmonic functions like you did from 23:20, means beautiful examples. this can be practical to compose.

Gran video, muchas gracias !!

Robbie thank you so much for all this. You've helped me a lot, just, thank you... Quick question; what pedal are you using to get that soft dreamy reverb thingy? And I also wonder about your amp. Is it a Roland or a Fender? Thanks in advance!

Woh nice... The way you stretch your finger on the F9Δ#11 🤤 (at 10:50) Do you have any exercice to practice such stretching ??

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bro I really like your sound and everything only problem is I don't know how to read music lol. I never learned that. It would really be helpful if you would show the positioning of your fingers on the chords.

Absolutely incredible lesson 🙏🏻 For me it’s a bit more advanced than what I know right now Will there be any video for intermediate level of players too? That would be great Thankyou love from India 🇮🇳 😊🙏🏻

What book is that? I like the little journal in the intro of the video.

Intro 🤯

my man is making the broken hand chord

This is all excellent material, cheers! Unrelated question: What string gauges do you use on your instrument? I'm just curious because they sound so resonant.

Positive man

Hi Robbie, I am one of your biggest fans. I have a request and I have heard this from many other people as well. When working on a tune which is primarily in a minor key, can you suggest options to make it sound more interesting? I would think that would be a great video. Thanks Robbie.

Awesome content as usual! I still have to watch the video in full, so qq here: have you ever played around with the Frank Gambale tuning? It's a slight variation of the Nashville tuning, but FG came up with it particularly for these (piano) clustered voicings. Would love to hear your take on it.

wow

Hey Robbie, Have you ever heard of Ted Greene's V system? its a system made up to classify chords and it is extremely interesting. Could be a really neat topic or learning opportunity.

Wow that's an amazing sound, what does it take to be on that level, I mean I really want to have that kind of voicing on my playing, where can I get a basic course leading to that kind of playing, one has to have a solid fundamentals I suppose

I’m new to this channel. It’s really fantastic material. Is there anywhere you discuss your gear? Im wondering how you are getting those bass notes. Thank you.

👏👏👏

Wait a minute, I'm not an advanced guitar player! Why am I here? Ooh, that sounds great!

Great lesson! Is there any way you could maybe tab out or give a lesson on that amazing music you were playing at the very end of the lesson as an example of what one can do with the concepts? Otherwise I’ll have to spend 5 hours figuring out what notes each finger is playing. Lol. Thanks
