Holy shit tony! i didnt know you had a website….
Thanks Tone!
There is so little knowledgeable discussion of Anastasio’s techniques out there, despite his characteristic and popular original style. This makes your intelligent analyses of his compositions all the more valuable. The tab alone, which is plentiful on the net, does not reveal the logic and the theoretical basis for what Trey is doing. I would certainly purchase a high quality teaching DVD detailing his style if you ever had the time and energy to put it together.
Thanks, and keep it up if you have the time and interest.
Lamont
Thanx a lot. Check back for a follow up blog on Trey’s style.
Hey thats such good stuff your putting down Be-bop Lines that an fusion are my favorits well I could say, I love all music played right. I am new to your cite An I am digging it . The Pat Martino Lesson is the first one Ive seen u do So with all do respect Ive got go to check all what you got . I play also all kind of music but I got to sharpen up on my be-bop ,thats where u come in. anyway nice talking to you Lorenzo
Thanx for the compliment. I was actually playing a little bebop today and thinking about how I should do a lesson on it. Check back soon!
How’s the new Trey Anastasio blog/lesson coming along? I can’t wait!!!!
Coming soon my friend. Just need to finish up a few things…
Great news! I signed up for your rss feed, and I’m looking forward to see your next lessons. For years I just played straight using tab as a crutch, but I’m trying to turn over a new sweet leaf and learn some theory by applying it to songs. Speed and dexterity aren’t so much a concern for me now, but I’ve got to get back to the theory I skipped as a kid… Getting to know your process for identifying chord changes and the appropriate key/scales/modes that fit would help me out a lot.
I am going to put up some basic jazz lessons soon which might help you out my man!
Awesome job on the Trey video. Totally appreciate it!!
How is the Foam lesson coming along?
Great Website man, and all of its free
Thanks Allot! this is about the best thing I have found on the net, for guitar lessons
just wondering were the tab for pride and joy are at on your website?
Look in the table of contents…
Tone,
I just tripped over your site and man….I am glad I’m here. Great stuff. I was wondering…what are you using for your backing tracks?
Thanks,
Ben
Which lesson? I made some of them.
hi i would like to know about any other great tips you might have that arent included in the pride and joy video on youtube. its been really helpful and you make learning it simple which means a lot since im basically a beginner.oh and do you do anything with hendrix songs? ill probably figure out if i start looking around the site instead of playin guitar lol thanks
I want to reiterate what has been said above–there is a paucity of serious analysis of Trey’s playing amid a MASS of utter devotion to it on an emotional level. This is the disconnect I have felt with Phish fans among my friends, but what speaks to me about Phish the most. Thank you! This is partly over my head, but that’s what I want; something that stimulates me to learn about his style.
Thanx for the intelligent comment sir. I agree wholeheartily.
hi, i think this site is really great to learn jazz guitar please send me notifications for regular online lessons! Thanks
Yours Sincerely
Patrick
I am a real frustrated guitarist who still cannot figure how you do the Billie Bounce by Wes. I couldnt fiind the pdf file either. please HELP or forward it to my email address tengp@singnet.com
yours sincerely
Thnks for all the info, I bumped into this blog thru your youtube. awesome work brother.
Tony – I’m a fellow JBGI’r – just wanted to say that I really dig the blog. I love your approach and look forward to checking out everything here – really great playing, thanks.
Thank you for this fantastic information because finding relevant sites on this topic is sometimes hard to find. You did an excellent job covering the subject and I look forward to more posts from your site. Do you offer RSS Feeds or feedburner to get more content for our blogs? I will be sure to include links from my other blogs to yours.
Hey Man,
Your lessons have been a great help to me. I studied jazz at Berklee and Temple University; both great experiences. However, you get through to me somehow…
I am curious if you could possibly do a lesson on “Green Dolphin Street” and “Giant Step”.
The bigger picture I get, but these songs kick my butt for some reason. As well, there are no quality guitar versions I can find of green Dolphin Street on the internet.
If you can do it, I’d be quite happy!
Thanks!
John Sagnella
Hi Tony.
Good to know that you´re back. I am looking forward to your new lessons.
Nice version of “all the things you are” in the update video, btw.
Are you planning to do a lesson on minor ii V i´s? I really have a hard time figuring out the scales and some cool licks for those…
And, please could you tell us which chord sequence your comping over in the intro of in the comping lesson (#10)….???
Thanks and keep up the good work,
Greetings from Germany

Hi! Where can I find that lesson with ‘Coltrane turnaround’ etc. ?
Well Jac, calm down. How rude? Even though lessons don’t seem to show up and I don’t think site is being maintained?
With people like you Jac, nothing will happen? Get real.
