10 Things Every BLUES Player Should Know! [Beginner/Intermediate Tutorial] 

This lesson has it all, one of the best lessons I've come across on RU-vid.

Great tips i'd also like to add that once you got the basics down to LEARN SONGS. In blues much like rock music you are often going to come across the same song played 12 different ways and having songs like sweet home chicago, thrill is gone, hideaway and so on under your belt not only puts what you know into context but helps you improve your technique and be able to perform what you know^. A secondary thing to add is don't worry learning a solo note for note in blues unless you really want to, i find its way more efficent and useful to take pieces of a solo you really like, learn it then apply it to your own playing and improvising that way it becomes its own thing. Reason I say this is because in blues its very very rare that any player will play the exact same licks and phrases in each performance of a song, literally every performance of a song is different and its good to get used to that yourself too as early as possible i think.

You are an excellent guitar teacher. Keep it up!

You have very good lessons. Thank you. From Russia with love :)

Sir you are an excellent teacher and these are fantastic videos.

Great Stuff! Thankyou! A blue guitar always works with the Blues!

This is really a great blues lesson! A video to keep, study and remember so we have got a powerful basement on our playing. Thank you for it!

Dude, for me you are the best guitar teacher on RU-vid. Thanks for what you do in helping me improve my playing and knowledge.

Great as always, and I always pick up a tip along the way. As a beginner these are so helpful for me. So thank you for spending your time doing them.

Your a great teacher Jules! This is one of the best blues lessons I’ve found. Clean, clear instructions! Thank you!

You are such a phenomenal teacher. Thank you SO much!

Been following your videos and absolutely love them. Thanks

Excellent lesson. The first simple explanation of the I, IV and V chord.

Jules!! UB on fire my friend!!! Beginner to intermediate here but still a great review and reaffirmation to all blues players!! Very nicely done! Jim C.

Awesome video!!! Thanks!

Dude... you are an awesome teacher!.

Very cool tutorial. You’re a good communicator. Thanks

Great job brother

Great job.

Amazing Thank you very much.

I dont know if it is the break I took or your videos but my skills are better than they ever have been. Good thing RU-vid pays you 👍 you deserve it and I can’t put my lake placid blue guitar down. It makes me sound better and is so easy to fret. I couldn’t be happier -maybe cuz of the poly gloss or the wide neck feel, the great pickups idk 🤷‍♂️ feels like an American woulda been a waste cuz by , pre-2017 it is for all purposes an American. I want to jam Jules now -sometime i just play over your play -duel lead mess around, ha so fun ❤

Cool licks!

Have gained so much from your lessons ...keep posting👍

well worth the watch, would have liked to know what amp setting were used ;)

Love your lessons jules. Always nice and clear. Do you do private lessons. What part of the world are you in. Cheers 🎸🎸

well broken down brilliant 👍👍👍👍

Another GREAT blues lesson! ThanX a lot ! (from Isenbüttel, Germany)

Good this: Keep them coming

I love this channel!

Great master

Great lesson Jules. Love your content. Your tone always sounds so good. How do you achieve that?

Thank you

Great tks so much boss from brasil !!!!

Top man 👏🏽😀

This has to be one of the greatest guitar videos I've ever seen ! Great job ! What's next ?

Thanks

Great stuff, Jules! After a looooooong hiatus, I've started back playing guitar on an acoustic. (I won't go into detail, but my electric is too heavy for my neck now since fusion surgery.) Even so, these licks sound great on the acoustic! Can't wait to find a lighter electric guitar! I'll have to check out a music store....

Where have you been all my life !!! Great lesson

Jules Rocks!!!

Nice

I really like your lessons. Therefore do you have an online course? If so pls send me info Thx!

Thxxxxxx

Those scale pattern diagrams are really hard to follow with the nut on the right. A right-handed player is looking down at their guitar with the nut on the left and the low string on the bottom, and most pattern diagrams show the nut on the left so the diagram matches the pattern that you see when you look down at your guitar. While the diagram matches the shot of YOUR guitar in the video, I think it would be more helpful to show the pattern with the nut on the left so it's easy to understand while looking at our own guitar.

ოქრო კაცი! God Bless

Damn you have long fingers man ! Great lessons. Great teacher ! Do you do private lessons ?

Very basic but very well taught.

🎸

You = Saint

I really enjoy these videos though I am quickly advancing back to a performance level ill never leave the den. Anyways, something I never saw 25 years ago was a looper. Seems to be the thing for playing with oneself nowadays…you ahh, do any video on a looper by chance? Is it something I should pick up? Been practicing to a lot of RU-vid backing tracks but u know, why not?

Hi Jules, any advice for the stretch between 5th and 10th fret?

Is that an made in Mexico Stratocaster? Or an American Standard? Looks and sounds cool!

Nice and tasty!

Wait isn't 1,4,5 in a minor chord? I thought 1,3,5 was major.

Lucky I'm not a blues player cuz this is complicated 😬

I wish that I was blessed with freakishly long, thin fingers.

Thanks!

Great lesson as always, but that diagram of the 1st position pentatonic scale is confusing! Other guitar teachers display this scale the other way around. Low E at the bottom and high e at the top.
