Thanks, Soeren

Thanks Ed! We all have our ways. The guitar is not as easy as the piano when it comes to know exactly which notes you are about playing. learning certain patterns is the answer , as they are valid in all keys, you just have to get the root note into your fingers, and then you van play the three pattern of your slow blues. Here the guitar is easier as the piano, where you have to adjust to the keys you go through, so you cant work the same way with patterns on piano the same way as on guitar. thanks again, Soeren

@@soerenguitarlessons9947 As you said, we all have our ways that work for us. I really like targeting the 3rd as much as the root note so that's my personal preference. That's what makes guitar playing fun and challenging, different approaches ultimately becomes one's style of playing. Have a great weekend Soeren! Ed

@@ew6629 Thanks a lot, Soeren

Thanks Gerry! I am happy you like the lesson. Friendly greetings, Soeren

Thanks a lot. I am happy you like it, Soeren

Hi Ed. Thanks for commenting. I am happy you find the lesson useful. I play with my tele plugged into my blues junior amp, that has just the right sound and volume for these home recordings, and I add a little drive from my Zendrive pedal, that´s all. friendly greetings, Soeren

@@soerenguitarlessons9947 The blues junior is a fantastic amp! I used to have the Zendrive about 15 years ago and stupidly sold it; should have kept it. You get a nice slightly overdriven tone in your lessons which what I like so I was curious. These days, so many people use digital modelers that sound good as well so hard to know what's being used. Ed

@@ew6629 I actually have both 2 blues junior amps and I recently bought a second Zen drive as the knobs are not working 100 fine anymore, so I was worried that it would break. The Zendrive is the best pedal I have ever owned, but it is also a little expensive, I have to admit. Soeren

@@soerenguitarlessons9947 Wow, 2 blues jr amps! Good to have redundancy in case one has issues. Those Zen drive pedals cost a small fortune today. I paid under $200 USD back when I first purchased it. I did it because I knew Robben Ford was a user of the Zen drive. Not sure why I sold mine. I've purchased and sold probably 25 overdrive pedals over the years including King of Tone, Klon, Nobels ODR, on and on. At the moment I'm using the Greer Lightspeed and Wampler Belle, both are "transparent" OD pedals. Pedals can be a money pit so I no longer purchase pedals! Ed

hI, you will find the tabs at 9.00 and forward. friendly greetings, Soeren

Thanks! Soeren

Thanks JP, Soeren

thanks a lot, Soeren

Thanks a lot Tony, Soeren

hi again abricospardos, nice to hear from you. I am happy you like the playing, thanks a lot for letting me know, Soeren

It is true that many of the great classic blues guitarists both sing and play great, which for sure helped them to get famous. My own favorite the last few years is Otish Rush, try to listen to his song "stop that train conductor" which is one of my favorite takes. and thanks, I am happy you like the lesson, Soeren

Thanks a lot! Soeren

Thanks again! Soeren

Thanks Ed! People. even the ones who are generally not into the blues, seem to know and like the song, making it a true blues classic. Happy you like it, friendly greetings, Soeren

@@soerenguitarlessons9947 I agree, it transcends just the blues enthusiasts. This lesson is going to take a while to get a good grasp on. I can hear the chord changes so clearly as you played; it was a thing of beauty Soeren! I give you a standing ovation.👏👏👏 Best regards - Ed

@@ew6629 thanks a lot Ed, Soeren

Hi Gerry,! and thanks a lot. I am happy you like it. Friendly greetings, Soeren

Thanks a lot! friendly greetings, Soeren

Thanks again Walter! friendly greetings, Soeren

Hi Ed! Thanks for commenting. Sure the cannonball shuffle is a great song. It reminds me of a period where Robben Ford had a fantastic drummer, who is called something like Toss Panos, and Larry Carlton´s son Travis on bass. that band made some fantastic live shows. anyway, thanks again, and I wish you a nice weekend, Soeren

@@soerenguitarlessons9947 Robben Ford sure played with a variety of people throughout his career! Thanks for the info as I did not know the names of the two you described. So often we concentrate on the star name and forget about the supporting cast who are just as important. Have a great weekend Soeren! Ed

@@ew6629 thanks!

Hi thanks a lot! I am honored. The drums play 12/8 like almost any slow blues or blues ballad. So if you have a music creating platform it should be easy to create. I guess you can find a platform for free on the net. I personally prefer to have my recordings in check with a short line. If you have questions to the song or solo, I will trey to help you. friendly greetings, Soeren

Thanks a lot! Soeren

Thanks a lot Alex, many greetings, Soeren

Thanks a lot Neil! I am happy you like these lessons and let me know., friendly greetings, Soeren

You are right Gerry. Without BB King and Robben Ford I would probably have sounded a lot different. And your playing would probably have developed differently without your hero, Eric Clapton friendly greetings, and have a nice weekend, Soeren

Hi Soeren - can you recheck your tab on solo #1, the first section. The 6th note played seems like it should be a hammer on from the 7th to the 8th fret of the E string and not the B string hammering from the 8th to the 9th fret as shown in the tab. Let me know if I'm not looking at this correctly. Thanks - Ed

@@ew6629 Hi Ed. you are right these notes should be played on the first string and not on the second. I will put a correction in the notes below the video. Thanks a lot for letting me know, Soeren

@@soerenguitarlessons9947 Great Soeren! The good news, you know the effort you put into creating tabs are used by me and others. 😀Thanks and have a great weekend. Ed

@@ew6629 Thanks again Ed. I have made a correction at the notes just beneath the video, Soeren

@@soerenguitarlessons9947 Looks good! 👍

Thanks a lot Sodit.. I am happy you like the examples. friendly greetings, Soeren

Thanks again Pedro.! Friendly greetings, Soeren

Hi Ed. Thanks for commenting. Good that you find the tabs useful. The tabs are quite rudimentary compared to what I have seen in for instance Guitar Player, but that can maybe make it easier to read? anyway, thanks again, and I wish you a nice weekend, Friendly greetings, Soeren

@@soerenguitarlessons9947 Hi Soeren - no need to do anything different in my opinion. Rudimentary works 100% as well as fancy tabs made by software, it gets the job done and that's all that matters to me. 👍Thanks again for the effort you put into your lessons. Ed

@@ew6629 that is good to know, Soeren

Hi Pedro, Thanks, I am honored. I stopped giving private lessons during and after Corona. I travel a lot and also I have an issue with infections in my ears, so it is sometimes a little like Beethoven. Maybe you could find some great teacher in your hometown who loves blues and jazz? my advice is, that you find a good blues and beyond player, where you can gat face to to face lessons which I really recommend. I have also made quite a few you tube lessons on for instance the diminished scales and also about the altered scale. all typical Robben Ford stuff. So if you go through my lessons you will find some of these Robben Ford like licks and lines. Good luck, and thanks again, Soeren

Hi walter! thanks a lot, nice to hear from you. Friendly greetings, Soeren

Thanks a lot, friendly greetings, Soeren

Thanks a lot Peter! I am happy you like it, I wish you a nice weekend too. Friendly greetings, Soeren

Thanks a lot Ed! I am happy you can use the chord tabs. It is a little primitive concept but it seems to work for you. And yes many of these melodic blues ideas often come from chord movements that transcends the standard standard 12 bar blues. The funny thing is, that , when first learned, these ideas often work well in a standard 12 bar blues as well. thanks again, and many friendly greetings, Soeren

Hi Gerry, and thanks for commenting. I very much agree what you write about BB King, it really make me feel good to play that style, it is melodic and straight forward, but there is a lot of pain in the bends as well, but he never exaggerates. friendly greetings, Soeren

Thanks for commenting! I am happy you like the recording and thanks for your hints, greetings, Soeren

Hi Ed, I cant sing at all either! You can also play the song in your head, wich is the way I used to do when I for years just played to a metronome beat. I actually like singing to these songs, but the truth is that to anyone else it sounds terrible! friendly greetings, Soeren

Thanks a lot for your poetic greeting! I used to play that song a lot in the past, as I love the gentle and beautiful changes. friendly greetings, Soeren

Hi Peter! I am happy you like the lesson, thanks for letting me know, Soeren

Thanks a lot, Soeren

Hi Ed. Thanks for commenting. I am happy to hear that you like these turnaround/ ending chords and plan to add them in your own vocabulary. Great! friendly greetings, Soeren

Thanks Gerry. I use Fender Blues junior and a zendrive pedal. I have people living around me, so I just use a small but good sounding amp.

Thanks! , Soeren

Hi again Gerry, and thanks a lot, Friendly greetings, Soeren

Hi again Peter! I am happy you like the lesson. Many friendly greetings, Soeren

Hi Ed. I dont go on vacation before November, where I go to southern Morocco. The last weeks I worked on installing the various programs for music recording and edting on my new computer. My studio teacher helped me a lot, as some of the programs are rather tricky to install. Now hopefully everything will work for a while. I never go traveling in the summer as the summer often is quite pleasant in Denmark, though occasional rainy and cold weeks do happen. Thanks for commenting and wish you a nice Saturday, Soeren

@@soerenguitarlessons9947 Oh okay, for some reason, I thought you were on vacation. Anyway, great to hear you've got all the software updated! Sometimes computer software can definitely be tricky depending on various factors. I'm debating whether to upgrade my desktop computer to Windows 11 latter next year when Windows 10 support from Microsoft ends. My main desktop has Windows 10 and I'm super happy with the operating system. I have a new Windows 11 laptop and not crazy about the operating system when I compare the two. Have a great weekend also! Ed

@@ew6629 I also kept windows 10 for a long time because I was sure it worked and also corresponded well with my software.. Anyway it gets late here so I will soon be at sleep, Soeren

Thanks a lot ! Soeren
