    Josh is a super gifted guitarist & teacher. He shares all his knowledge and experience with passion & humility. He can show you in three minutes what a book takes a hundred pages to explain.

    It`s a few years i know Mr. Smith, all through
    watching his heavenly solo performances in
    JTC Guitar ...(into Facebook i think) but this
    4-5 minutes video:
    I learned a lot, simply, very useful ... A real
    GEM
    Many thanks to Mr. Smith

    Wow! Josh I've been playing for over 65 years and I never learned more from anyone than i have from you my friend. Esp. the Shuffle lessons. I play mostly classic Country and Blues. My Country/ Ray Price shuffles are my favs.. Keep up the good work. PS.. One of the nicest guys on You-Tube!

  • @allmendoubt4784
    @allmendoubt4784 4 года назад +2

    He's just expanding on a simple concept - 12 bar blues, chords A D E, with an Am pent scale thrown in; then using passing tones like chromatic run ups (notes or chords); think of how a blues scale works beside a pentatonic minor scale. He adds 2 other well know ideas - ii V I (in A thats B E A), and the III which in A is a C.
    In truer terms there are dominant 7s and suspended notes here, but the premise is using:
    A D E 12 bar
    or (A flat) A x2
    (D flat) D x2
    x2
    (E flat) E -
    B E A (turnaround) or the basic E (E flat) D A
    C.
    A few triad shapes will help you with the A chord (see Kind Hearted Woman Blues), and the C7 shape used chromatically (3rd fret D7 5th fret E7). There a nice D flat sound (5th string 4th fret) etc. And don't forget the A string and E string can be open and pressed as you wish.

    ruclips.net/video/YZEZJqvvxZA/видео.html
    Trouble being it isn't as easy as it looks to keep the rhythm going, mix it up add the fills and passing tones. So nail the concept then watch him and others and listen to proper Delta, Texas and Chicago blues. It helps if you try it out as finger style acoustic beforehand.

    I would have never thought about the 6 chord as I would have thought it was too close to a major 7 - 4 chord. When I play it, it does sound very "major 7th." When Josh plays it, sounds great.

    What a great lesson... straight forward, focused, yet rich with info. Yes, you have to know CAGED, and enough about scales that you understand 6ths, 7th chords (and 9th chords?). But, once you've got that a bit, seeing these embellishments and applications are super cool. And, all that, under 5 minutes!

      Because this is RUclips, and some people have come to expect everything exactly their way - and for absolutely no charge whatsoever - and if they don't get their way, they cannot just be thankful for what they got but instead they whinge uncontrollably in public like the big babies they are...

    That's cool. I noticed I had to put my index finger on the G string not the B as I would usually do to play that triad, but with the 6th added, you already have the B string fretted, so you don't need the index finger on the B, so it works and sounds great! Thanks for sharing!

    • @humanBonsai
      @humanBonsai 4 года назад +2

      If your thumb can’t roll over the low E it’s cos you need to change your hand position so you are holding the neck a bit like a bat in the palm of your hand. That way your thumb will naturally roll over the low E

      You could always go with a thinner neck guitar if you aren't already on such. But I have an issue with it as well. My hand's aren't super-small but I still don't feel totally comfortable with those thumb wrapping techniques. Partly maybe because I played classical a lot during my more formative years.

I can hear notes in my head i want to play but not yet figured out quite how yet. More effort needed. Thanks for this. I can take something from tis so it does help even though i am sure it is basic for a lot of people......BUT....it was not always basic , was it?
