I've been playing for 40 yrs off and on ....always seem to put it down after a few months due to getting stuck in that same old blah mode but you Jules have changed the way i think as well as hear the small changes as the minor and major 3rds slides even though I have known them you have showed me how to use them ...its almost scary the avenues you unknowingly open for me as well thousands of others I'm sure .As not to be to forward....... On behalf of all Id like to thank you with a firm handshake! Thank You!
I feel guilty telling people I've been playing for 30 years cause you'd never know it hearing me play....but he does open these paths that have always been here ,just hidden til the time was right ......maybe??
Same here on and off last 40 yrs. This was good information. Unfortunately not every guitarist can teach this guy has a great way to explain it using these techniques in an actual song is the best way to learn. 👍👍👍👍👍 to this teacher.
I started playing in the cave days at 7 back in the 60's, but it became my obsession when I was 14 in 1974 (still the cave days) when we had to keep lifting the needle off the record to learn a song or rewinding a cassette a zillion times. The advantage is that I developed a really good ear and the ability to isolate just one instrument while listening to the entire song, but how I wish I would have had a video like this back in the day, as well! I can't even express how awesome and life changing having things like this are!! My playing has skyrocketed. So overwhelming though! Sometimes there's too much information available!!!
Damn, mate!... that was the COOLEST Little Blues lesson I've ever SEEN... And I'm 64!!.. Not ONLY were ALL the individual licks COOL, PURE Blues, but I didn't know, you were going to put them all together at the end to make an awesome little BLUES SOLO!!! I KNOW I speak for a million guitarists when I SAY, THANK YOU, my brother!!!... YOU have earned your way into HEAVEN, making a lot of people HAPPY!
Superb lesson, very well done, no one else has done a lesson like this. Its at the right tempo (ie not too slow many youtubers drag out lessons for too long) and very clear, tabs are great.
You're such a great teacher! Thank you! This for sure pushed me way beyond the box licks I've been doing for 13 years!!and yes, I will mix these licks to other keys!
Wow dude I payed lots of $$$ for online courses and none of them compared to this amazing lesson, I love your style and the way you explain this lesson in full detail ,thanks for sharing ✌from Canada
Learnt to play my first ever small blues piece through one of your other video's, which I thought for a minute I could never get, but because you explained and broke everything down so well, coupled with a bit of practice and pushing through the mental challenges of nailing the licks, I finally got there, thank God! You sir, are an absolute legend! Thank you for your wealth of knowledge and your attention to detail and ability to make things so much more easier to understand. Now, I'm excited to learn these new licks. God bless you, Jules.
Jules great Blues improvisation lesson, loved it. Just need to build up the tempo... thank you for this !!. I've been playing just 7 years but love the challenge.
This is mind boggling excellent!! Like giving years of secrets away for free…I’m going to practice this over and over and over.he seems a genuinely pleasant person to be sat next to on a long journey 👍
This video should be printed and sold as The Blues Bible. This guy could sell it for $100 per copy and make a fortune; or, he could post it as he has out of the goodness of his heart simply for the betterment of mankind which includes probably at least 1/2 the people on the planet who play or want to play the guitar.🎸
Thing is some says this shit in every guitar video but it’s actually true this time 😂 Doesn’t ramble for 5 min Starts with the intro jam “Wish I knew this 25 years ago” Organized af Good shit👍🏼
Dude! Why didn't you show me stuff like this 30 years ago? Oh yeah, no YT back in those days. Thank you for your time, patience, and string sacrifices. You are a natural teacher. You have a perfect speed in the way you get this information across. Not too fast, not too slow, but at an informative pace that even I can process. I'm a drummer with no place to turn my cell phone volume up, never mind smashing DW's , so the music has to come out somehow and that vessel is a Fender Squier.
I had to sell my gear at the beginning of covid and now I’m in a position where I can get back into guitar. Kinda feel like I have to relearn a lot of stuff. I’ll definitely be using this lesson 👍
I can only agree with the vast majority. This is excellent. I also agree with you when you said that this was what you wish you could have learned 25 years ago; so do I. Well done fellow Brit.
Once again, how useful is this! All the time, I know that my bandmates will either stay on a chord, or a simple progression, while I have a go at a solo. And I freeze, just playing the scale, maybe a bit of riffing, but nothing that interesting. This sort of practice prepares us for those moments. 👌👍👏👏
Outstanding lesson I ran across another one of your lessons earlier this morning. I will be subscribing. You're truly generous with your knowledge, I'd have to say that most people don't do what your doing and I like it.
This is just fantastic. I love everything about this tutorial. The pace is perfect, as are your explanations and repetitions of the licks. Absolutely amazing.
Thank you for making this video. Learning can be overwhelming this is incredibly useful! Can't say enough how much it helped bridge together a lot of the theory for me :)
i love this, more to it than first appears, took me a while to be able play it through slowly, so still working on it. It has a lot of technique and phrasing. Thanks!
Great lesson! 👌🏼Thank you! Strings tend to break at that sharp edge from the hole in the trem plate where the string goes at an angle from the saddle into the bloc. I round that edge with a round needle file (or a dremel) and smoothen with fine sand paper. Also good to lube that spot afterwards. (I noticed, it broke at the headstock. Maybe some sharp edge there too…)
