Jules! I just wanted to drop by and let you know that I really enjoyed watching your video. Your presentation style was simple and effective, and I loved how you incorporated a blues rhythm in the background throughout the entire video. It really added to the overall experience! I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Keep up the great work! Eric.
For real the greatest lesson I have received. Your lesson not only gets me to memorize fret notes and a scale, but also immediate access to improv. Dang, well done.
Jules, why didn't I find you sooner but so glad I did. The blues are where my passion is and while I still am only a beginner your lesson here is clear, straightforward, simple to understand, perfectly discribed and shown. The progression from 4 notes to a complete use of all 6 strings is, well to me, magical. This will be something I play with and expect my blues playing to actually become music!! Thank you
Dude you truly have a gift for teaching. I just discovered your channel and your way of teaching is outstanding. You make complicated topics look so simple. Thank you!
@2:36 your diagram is backwards. It's too hard to follow it. i should look at your diagram then look down at my guitar and see the same thing. But you've got it matching up with how we look at your guitar.
Thanks for all your efforts Jules ... I have fallen in love with your lessons, and have watched the entire "Tutorials" playlist. They are so clear and concise. Thanks again mister!! 😀😀
That's ridiculously clear and easy to follow, I'm sitting in my car with a travel acoustic practicing it and jamming along to you as a beginner, you made the slide over so much easier to understand and its place, I could never resolve it before, the leading with the third finger makes so much sense.
I have watched 20-30 different "teachers" on you tube for hours and I honestly believe that you have given me more valuable, clear information in 10 minutes, than all other COMBINED. So glad I found you! Thank you so much!
A very clear lesson which simplifies what so many complicate! Stopped this at 1 minute 30 seconds and had the best jam ever over Am Dm Em with this new knowledge. Thank you. 🙏 I’m going to watch the rest! Finished it and possibly the best pentatonic lesson I’ve come across! Well done.
I've been learning the blues for over half a century! Without question this is the clearest simplest best delivered lesson I think Ive ever had. Thankyou so much. Regards P
I usually just play rote learnt stuff and don’t know how or why it works or fits together. As a result, I can’t jam or improvise. Thank you for your excellent video. It has changed my playing so much. Subbed. 😊
your form of logic distinguishes you by light years from other teachers. This type of teaching comes from your deepest knowledge of what a beginner is. A lot of academic guitarists say - well, now we do 20 easy blues exercises for beginners and I almost break my fingers doing it. Born out of your logic, you slowly introduce people and increase the pace in a perfectly acceptable way. I once took 10 hours practice lessons before i stop it, from an Austrian top star in the early 90s, his talent was terrific, but an egoist cannot teach, because looking down is the wrong level. you love what you show, thank you very much, i learn a lot from you!
Your teaching method is on point. My guitar playing has improved over the last week due to watching and playing along with your lessons. I had hit a roadblock and now it's gone. Thank you.
Friggin magic 😳👍. Thanks for such an easy & inspiring lesson here . Practice and more practice is in my immediate future . Really enjoyed this one . Thanks
Honestly thanks to you I am enjoying your tutorial videos and I feel unstuck and I am enjoying the guitar even more… I have other guitar players I follow on You Tube but hear lately your channel is the only one that has kept me captive.. You have opened up my eyes and ears so much these past couple of weeks… Thank you so much Craig
Very happy to watch this (and even more) videos featuring these boxes you discuss here.. i end up learning something from all your videos on this topic. Thanks for sharing and happy to watch more of this any time!
Thank you Jules! All the lessons I've taking from you have helped a ton. Man Wish I would have met you in 1996 when I first started playing. Would have saved me a ton of time. Thank you Jules🎸💯
Hellow fellow avee beem folow your lesons us very good like so much tks for this but i need back track do u have link for that how can i get pls all the best cheers for the beers
Thanks Jules. I knew most of this from one of your previous videos, but can't wait to learn those licks. Its alright knowing the notes, its another thing making them talk. Thanks again for that solo.
Thank you for these great videos. They are really well constructed and thought out. The effect being they get people enjoying playing with confidence. Brilliant work
This is completely fantastic. I'm new to the real spirit of guitar. Still my fingers are pretty slow. I can make a really good blues progressive riff. But you've made it easy to understand. Staying in one place is ok, but you move it all around. That should really make playing enjoyable.
I’m stuck and have been looking for something to advance me to the next level of playing and not just this video but so many others you have show so much and now I have a scale I can practice and run it up the neck, Marty is perfect for songs but you are the guy I want to learn off of, songs are cool but to put your own work in is my ultimate goal. Much appreciated here in Chicago!!
Now that was a good lesson. As a new sub I don't think I've ever seen pentatonic explained like this for blues. Not only did I like but this will be shared. Good work Jules!
Jules, thanks for taking the time to create this video lesson. This is very well explained and gives me a perfect tool to start developing my blues chops. Much appreciated!
Oye q bien hermanazo!!! Años estudiando Blues para aprender. Aunque en habla española, no suena como un real Blues. No entiendo mucho de inglés, pero su ejecución es universal. El Origen veo, las primeras seis pisadas y las otras 6 continuas; hacen un fraseo impecable del Blues. 432 herzs.😑 Se le aprecia mucho tu enseñanza, saludos desde merida venezuela.
I came across your site by chance - in 1987 I stopped being a musician and stopped playing the guitar. Now, at the beginning of the year, I got my old Strat 25-Anniversary (my God, that thing sounds like it's been around for so many years). still horny) brought out again and the passion was discovered again. You helped me out - thank you very much - by the way, I'm 67 - greetings from Vienna
And how about that Hammond organ I hear? That is far more beautiful than your guitar. Do you hear these chords? Who is playing Hammond here? Why don't I see that Hammond player? Why is there no LIVE Hammond player? Where is your band? You are bloody lonesome. No wonder you play the blues.
Wow, I'm really happy I found this. Now I'll maybe actually pick up my guitar once in a while. Without looking for a much too difficult song to play first. Thank you!
Hi Jules, I like how you explain the pentatonic scale in the context of the guitar fingerboard. I would like to use your method to teach my students. Is it possible to buy somewhere your pictures of the graphic representation of the boxes and the representation of the individual notes on that yellow background? Thank you for your answer. Paul
Nice lesson, but by convention, your fretboard diagram is reversed from what most people use. Makes things pretty confusing. Numbers go from low to high/left to right and the bottom string is low E and the top string is high E
Some tab diagrams are reversed from how one looks at a fretboard. I give you an "A" for sharing them but lower mark for presentation. Also, the tab diagrams are not pictured long enough.. minor criticism, but it helps to keep them visible as you demonstrate licks.
Yeah man. Thre boxes wit like an extra two notes and from 3rd to 12th fret (?) ! Well this lesson goes into my reference material and I feel cc confident I can manage these Pentatonix with practice to at least do some blending and bending those notes to my willpower mwahahahaha haa. What have you done 👍
I’ve watched a couple of videos and I like how you start the scale in small chunks as it were and then add an extension note that the player can slide into another box. Brilliant! Playing a simple solo with four notes-brilliant! This really helps the older player. I’ve signed up to your Patreon account to move things along.
Mt mexican strat is that color. Mine really looks dirty compared to yours!. This is how I actually play the blues. I thought I was going to get a new riff or something but this is the way I do it most of the time. Trying to add more shapes into it and go from minor to major. I have 5 shapes I like to use but pretty much am stuck with these shown on this video and it works. You can get paid for it.
Hello sir i am the one admire you.i'm glad to meet you ...i have request guitar solo if you don't mine it..thank you for sharing your knowledge guitar scale
Great lesson as always. It is clear to me tho that it isn’t just knowing the shape, it’s the way you use it with all the subtle nuances and timing that makes it sound great. Work to do there for me and a few others I believe. Also like the explanation of the secondary box. Makes me think about it differently. A bit of learning snd practice needed for me.
if it's simple and sound like it's for beginners, but it's also behind legendary blues solos, doesn't that say something about the blues and its practitioners?
