Besides the riffage, take note of how he plays the E mixolydian scale up the whole fretboard using the next note in the scale as the position root. When learning scales this is key to really learning your whole fretboard and also gets modes in your head. Best lesson in here.
Something about blues that always spoke to me as a kid. The rawness, unpretentiousness, dirty, authentic....it really moved me inside. Even as a white son of an Irish immigrant in the US. What a wonderful gift the US Delta gave the world.
Also the assumption that all those old time players sat on their porch counting out e mixolydian shapes and root notes to make sure they sounded proper authentic - as opposed to just whacking the guitar and seeing what worked. :)
@@cgavin1 Yes, they just did what sounded good to them, but what sounded good to them was determinded by the musical culture they grew up in. And they grew up within African American musical culture, which has roots in their contemporary American music, but also goes back to the msuical traditions of West-Africa. Mixolydian scales in blues come partially from that.
I absolutely love this guy! If you need inspirational motivation, Andy will provide it, effortlessly. Extremely knowledgeable in all kinds of styles and genre's. Enjoy this fine teacher/player!
Russian forces have launched a major assault on Ukraine, firing missiles on cities and military targets. The invasion by land, air and sea began after a pre-dawn TV address where Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded that Ukraine's military lay down its arms. Initial reports of casualties included Ukrainian civilians and soldiers, and Russian troops. Ukraine's leader said his country "won't give up its freedom". "Russia has embarked on a path of evil, but Ukraine is defending itself," President Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted. Ukraine has declared martial law and severed all diplomatic relations with Russia. It says weapons will be given to anyone who wants them.
This site came up randomly in my youtube feed and I don't know how I never knew about you. This is one of the finest, little guitar lessons on the whole damned internet. I love droning strings - whether it's Robert Smith, Johnny Marr or something more blues-based like this - so I LOVE this lesson. Really incredible. THANK YOU! Subscribed!

Awesome Lesson! Thanks so much! Why didn't I think of this??? Andy is a great teacher! I totally dug when he did the whole "Axis Bold As Love" DVD. He takes the the guess work(that we'd probably never guess) right out of it.

oh my god you gave me a whole new view of open tuning! Usually if i find a song where i got to retune I say ugh too much trouble! Now I will at every opportunity!
@@dominickl4456 And did Page steal bits from Steven Stills guitar intro from "Woodstock"? It's all just notes played in a pattern at the end of the day.
... Not to mention that a lot of those guys perhaps, did not know chords or have access to how to play them, in standard tuning, and so their style developed out of that. They called it, "Servastapool." Nice playing, Sir, and great sounds!
Very knowledgeable re: music theory, rock and blues history, plays at an extremely high skill level, a very articulate, informative instructor, and a stellar transcriber, but to be historically recognized you need to create your own sound or style, put your brand on some songs, and he didn’t really do that, but he’s probably more capable than 95 percent of the folks on all these “greatest” lists.
In 2018 is when i said and prayed that im going to get this guitar down i played 3 cords for years quit for years but 2018 did not even know what these instructers where saying not i can jusl lue down sone times and i can understand whars going on in my mind where to place a note i guess i am learning the langage call music and thanks to Katts like this gentalmen and youtube you still have to be cautious what vedios you watch .but this Gentalman and these vedios i will watch and learn any day..RocknRollFlat5
Excellent….one of the keys I took from this was the “thematic development”. The other, which I feel really opened up the fretboard for me, well made it less confusing I guess, is the enharmonic relationship. If you are doing Blues in the Key of E, isn’t it great to know that E mixo is A Major or F#m…right away when you switch to the iv chord, now you can relate where you were and where you are…then when you go to B, well, you can outline B Major triads and also recognize that B Dorian is the same notes as E Mixolydian….to me, these are the key relationships in a blues format….in other words linking the A iv and B v to the E key center and its major modes through the enharmonics. It can get out of hand in a hurry for my handicapped brain 🤣
Wow! That Strat must be one made between Rory Gallagher's and Stevie Ray Vaughn's... The Stone Free inspired lick and a number of the rest sounded really cool. Thanks!

You ve got great taste..most bluesy stuff is very predictable/boring. But you bend the cool notes exactly extreme enough, what does the trick. THANKS A LOT,this couple of pointers will keep me busy for months..A cool little addition to my musical vocabulary.Very inspiring indeed.Greetings from the netherlands🏝🍹🖐👽🛸
Andy, great blues instruction as usual. Can you recommend any blues instruction books / DVD's etc. devoted to playing drone blues licks in the key of E? Cheers from New Zealand
To those mentioning the "The Rover": Led Zepplin, repeatedly, hasn't give enough credit to the sources of their material. To cite them as the source of anything now is to risk cheating someone else (for example Jake Holmes in "Dazed and Confused"). Calling it "Delta Blues" is probably the best compromise that could be made to get around this problem. I'm impressed that Guitar World (and/or Aledort) approaches it this way, respectful of the culture that was the often uncreditted source of this music.
Hey Don, hope all is well with you. My name is Christopher, I am in Colorado Springs Co. Forgive me, your comment about open tunings? I'm dumber than a bag of fish heads. Can you expand a tad? Not being a wise ass, I play, not well. But I play. Often in open tunings. Little help, thank you my friend.
