    Every time I release a video on RUclips, I make a series of extra content and practice sessions that go deeper. I'm adding new videos all the time! Can't wait to see you there.
    Being able to play The Blues and The Minor Blues by yourself takes structure and knowledge. Here we are using the Minor Blues to put a lot of musical ideas to use. Leaning on my previous video about Finding Minor Pentatonics: • CAGED CHORD LESSON #8 ... , Timing, and Movement, We will be able to successfully sound great when playing guitar all over the neck. Hope you enjoy being able to relate chords to scales and making music at the same time.

    Dude I’m glad I subscribed. I first picked up a guitar at age 50 and have just been strumming easy Stones and Beatles songs for 10 years. I’m bored and frustrated with my horrible skill set so now that I’m retired I thought I would try to become a guitarist rather than a “fun strummer” (old TV commercial reference). Thanks for your easily understandable lessons!

    Excellent. Perhaps you should have started your blues lessons with this because it gets us playing the blues and sounds good. But I can see your method of the Never Lost System for structure. However, you can derive such pleasure playing this - It just takes a little practice. I am one of your customers who purchased Master Class 1 & 2. Keep up the lessons. It's always a treat to listen to them. You are in fact a musical genius.

    This was a GREAT refresher course for me! I haven't played for over 5 years, but the worst part was a brain tumor I had removed 2 years ago. I remember some things about playing, but some things have been lost. I just started again a month ago, and started playing the blues right away. I remembered how to solo in the root, but I just stayed there...which does work....but I couldn't remember if I could switch the scales based on the 4 & 5 or not. I guess I could have experimented myself, but then I wouldn't have found your channel. So thanks SO MUCH!!

    Back in college I was in an original rock band. We had a song called "Spaghetti Western" -- a minor blues starting on Am. I played bass in the band (because we couldn't find a bass player!) but on this particular song, I played guitar and my band-mate switched to bass. Played the minor barre chords on the 5th and 7th frets. So at the point in the song where I took a solo, I stumbled fairly consistently. I knew chords all over the neck (though I didn't refer to the chord shapes as "CAGED") but I didn't know scales -- not even pentatonic scale shapes. So I basically just tried to play riffs and motifs in the key, in a couple different neck positions (5th fret and 12th fret). This was my chance to take the lead guitar spotlight and . . . it generally sounded very disappointing (to be generous). If I had known then what I know now . . . .
