Such basic things that most lessons on line assume. I like that you are teaching and not showing how "awesome" you play. You actually are interested is sharing skills not trying to be arrogant like many are. Been following you for quite some time and i am a better guitarist for it. Thank you so very much for what you do. It is very appreciated

Hopefully this will explain it. If not I will clarify another time! It’s just a case of counting the bars, it gets easier with practice and will become second nature. Have a great weekend pal!

I'm not a that level yet .. but when I'll be there I will re-watch that video many time until I can mastered those licks. I think the way you show the 12 bar blues structure is the easiest way to understand it ... I had an harmonica teacher who got issue to explain it and I never was able to understand it but by seeing the way you separate it ... I've understand it at the first time and was able to anticipate the other licks. thanks for that lesson !!!

Thanks Again for your explanations and demos. You can’t imagine how much these help people beginning to play guitar. Got my first guitar in 1957 in El Paso,TX: long before Tuners and decades before the internet. Everything was a challenge trying to figure out the fretboard, reading music notation-nothing was in tabs. Your videos save people what took me years to figure out. Keep sharing the videos !! 😁🌴🎸

@DenisMorissetteJFK 2 года назад

Thank you so much! The videos I've seen before this one are good, but they don't show the tabs. For great players, they don't need the tabs, but for me, I need them. The last one is not that hard theorically. The difficulty is in respecting the tempo. Easy to drag or play too fast certain notes. These are great exercises to develop tempo.

@petset77 Месяц назад

As wayne here said, that you're teaching and not performing is appreciated. Kudos for that. SO... the last exercise adding the extra notes in the riff is good, BUT... playing it with basic chords on root (instead of single note) adds another interesting exercise for the neck hand ring and middle fingers, especially during the G segment. Barring the open G with index and middle then fingering the progression of the riff with ring and pinky makes me focus on not lifting my middle finger while fingering the ring. Maybe it's just me, but that's a great exercise for individual finger dexterity, especially middle and ring. Thanks for another great basic rockabilly tutorial.

Playing guitar on and off for 34 years now. Until today, I have not found my favorite style yet and was noodling over blues, blues rock and rock ‘n' roll, and it was okay, but it was never IT, if you know what I mean. Then, about two hours ago, one of your videos popped up in my recommendations. Since then, everything is different, everything makes sense now. I first thought, that it's gonna be way too fast for my 48-year-old fingers. But once my mind was riding the wave, my fingers just followed. You have no idea what you've done to me today. Thank you!
