Yes.

I haven't used it, but I have seen a few of his tuition videos, and they go a little fast for me. If you are a reasonably good jazz player, he will definitely take you to a higher level. Well, that's my thoughts, but I really don't know what it's like to be a registered member of his classes. I really love his playing, though.

His videos are jam packed with info.

What's the one where he shows how he plays the changes of "TWNBAY" in five positions? I went to his site today and looked at the videos but didn't see any that seemed like that one. Am I confusing him with someone else???

I sent Barry an email. He'll get back to me soon, I'm sure. He's great about that. (Unless he's away for the holidays...) I'll pass on what he tells me----namely, how the rest of us can learn what he taught 55bar!

I find this one interesting in many ways - over an hour long:

Barry got back to me fast:
>>>Yes, the lesson is called 5 Position Study. I believe it’s in the Essentials Folder of my Subscription site.<<<<
That's why I couldn't find it among the videos, as it is subscription lesson. I'll have to look into a month of that at least---will be interesting to see how it goes along with Richie Zellon's fingerings. (I am committed to giving Richie---and myself via his teaching---a full year of daily work on his approach. So that comes first.)
O, Barry sends best wishes to all the members here. I passed along good wishes for the new year to him on behalf of us all.Last edited by MarkRhodes; 12-28-2015 at 07:08 PM.

All the scale fingers I've ever seen are I'd guess 95% the same. Some will stretch where others shift usually based on one note and usually dealing with G and B string. I've looked a little at Richie's fingering and that's the only difference I see is patterns I'd put a note on the G string he's putting on B.

I'm with Barry too.
His lessons are clear, thorough and in four defined streams/"folders" that you can work through.
They are : - Essential lesson folder
-Tune based folder
- Topic driven folder
- Chord melody folder
These all come under the one umbrella .....IOW you don't sign up for any one folder ....your subscription
allows you access to all the lessons and it's up to you to pick what you want/need to work on.
The PDF's that go with each lesson have become more comprehensive as he's built up to the 100+ he has
available. But don't expect everything he plays to be transcribed.
Bear in mind that these lessons are pretty in depth and Barry is no slouch......in fact he's fast.
Very recently he's introduced a new system for viewing the the lessons with a slow-down and loop function.
I think this now makes his material more accessible to more players.
The lesson working through "There Will Never Be Another You" ......AKA TWBAY is not one of the growing
number of individual lessons that you can buy as a download.
Here's Barry's intro text to the TWNBAY vid.
5 Position Study :
"One of the most often requested videos is ready for prime timeThis lesson uses the tune "There Will Never be Another You" to demonstrate my methods of tune learning and gaining fretboard knowledge. PDF file is included and contains all chord voicings in all of the 5 positions studied."
If you wanted to see if it's right for you, just sign up for the 3 day option and have a gander. [very inexpensive option]Last edited by Moonray; 12-28-2015 at 10:25 PM.

Yes Barry is a monster player, like I said the PDF's aren't even enough, you need to take notes becausethere is so much in in every video it's insane!!!

I think he's a fine teacher, player, and super knowledgeable about music in general and guitar.
