you have incredible talent. these tabs and scores are completely accurate. an amazing teacher. can we set up some private lessons?

hi tony,
thanks for your in depth analysis of your great solo. i understand most of the things you are explaining, there’s only one thing that keeps puzzling me: i do know a little bit about coltrane cycles, for example the relationship between b, eb and g triads and that you can apply them in modal situations and over blues changes and stuff.
but: seems to me that you are “interspersing” two cycles: on the one hand there’s eb, b, and g. on the other hand there’s c, e and ab. how about that????
anyway, i’m looking forward to upcoming videos, especially on your specialities, triads, pentatonics, etc.
one thing that I’d really like to get down is how to breathe fresh life into old chestnuts like all of me, take the a train, on the sunny side and so on. our audience keeps requesting these well known tunes and i sometimes feel the need to step out of my comfort zone, if you know what i mean.
i could actually do some more transcriptions for you, as long as you keep your solos fairly simple rhythmwise or maybe send you some backing tracks of some old standards and you could solo on them. but i guess that would be just like carrying coal to newcastle as people in the uk put it. i suppose you have tons of them!
thanks again and keep it up, man
bernd
Thanks a million for the Wes Tabs. I really apprieciate your kindness.
Hi Tony,
I stumbled on a few of your youtube video lessons last night and loved them-the playing, the teaching methods and that beautiful tone! This site is a treasure trove-thanks for enabling other players access to the material, and for providing such great insights and inspiration.

Great site. How about a lesson on triad pairs…I’ve seen a few lessons by good players but still don’t understand…or can you recommend a video? Bless up!
Tony,
I am interested in 20 principles triad pairs. Unfortunately I don’t understand anything about the computer. Do you have anything available on dvd’s . Sorry , I’m just to old but still play a lot and really want to get your product after hearing your playing .If I can get someone to buy it for my kids computer, do I own it or does it erase in time?
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Rob- in Orlando, Fl
Hey man. All materials will be downloadable and you are able to have them permanently. Also, you will be invited to my private study group.
I really appreciate all the knowledge that you share selflessly, I’m sure many people will find it very useful, I always check your lessons and I am very grateful there is people like you who takes the time to help beginners like me.
hi…my son is a sax player.he started studying with jerry bergonzi when he was 14.if you would like to talk about his lessons etc. I was there for everyone because he couldn’t drive….like your blog and your playing…surprised your so fond of trey….I play guitar as well….be well,take care….dr. bruce
Glad you like the blog. My readers are more fond of Trey than I am. I try to accommodate when possible.
thought u said he was a favorite of yours…….doesn’t really matter…….
I respect his skills and desire to think outside of the box more than anything. I like some of the music but there’s a whole lot about his band that I can’t relate to. I think he’s generally underrated as a guitarist by the general public.
thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, I really like your website and helps me to study guitar, a big hug from Argentina
Hi, Tony! I liked your job and I intend to study here. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. God bless you. Happinesses.
