    Justin, I started playing only three months ago and with your help (and lots of practice) I have seen incredible progress in a relatively short time. I really got the bug now! I just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you've put into your lessons, keep rock'n.

    these are great. thank you so much, justin. if you don't think you have the strings to bend with just do slides instead. start where he says to start and instead of bending slide up a whole step or half depending. use your ear. i'm playing on acoustic and can't bend all the way so i just started sliding. works great. Thanks again, Justin!

    Well, I went over the lesson several times, then practicing it. Not feeling it. Not remembering the fingering patterns. A little frustrated and clangy with the play. Followed Justin's suggestion and pulled up a backing track in Am... Holy cow, I was playing some BLUES baby! My fingers were going to the patterns - mostly. It was really fun because they sounded so good to the music in the track. Thank You.

  • @northof50now
    @northof50now 9 лет назад +18

    Justin, in the Stevie Ray Vaughan BL-515 lesson, you walked up the A string and ended the lick with an e7 shaped strum. Will you be teaching this technique in the series? I have often heard guitarist play 9 or 10 lead notes, then end the lick with a chord. The question has come up during the live streams, but don't think it was conveyed correctly.Hope you are having fun, or looking forward to your holiday! Thanks

    • @stuarcari
      @stuarcari 9 лет назад

      Yeah I'd be interested in that. Sometimes you see people play a chords, do a couple licks, then another chord, a couple of licks and so on. I know the question you are talking about in the live stream. I took it to mean the same thing as you did, but I think Justin took it to mean something else. It was something like how do you play in between chords, or something to do with getting from one chord to another. I can't remember how it was worded, but I know what you mean.

  • @joshcarter113
    @joshcarter113 4 месяца назад

    I totally concur with all the sentiments expressed here, I’ve definitely learned a great deal. One thing I’d love to learn though is tone settings. There’s definitely value in taking the time experimenting but once I start adding everything together, gain, distortion, compression, delay, reverb, eq, etc etc…the variables increase exponentially.

    Justin - this is great and very helpful! Any chance you (or anyone who understands it) can please indicate the proper counting for the 5th lick? I’m having trouble playing it in time with the background track or a metronome. I suspect it’s the following, but I’m not sure: “one two trip let and three four”, but there doesn’t seem like enough time to play “and” before the third beat “three”. Thanks again!

    I took the 3 licks and 2 notes of the pentatonic scale as a connection. I got a phrase.it's cool.I have never tried bending before only strumming.
    Because of Johnny B good by Chuck Berry intro that i like.

    “Why you working so hard” BB King reportedly said to Billy Gibbons when playing one of Billy’s guitars… I love your mojo teach’ but please don’t get the people stuck on .010s and Stevie Ray Vaughan gauge strings. I picked up the guitar to stop my arthritic fingers from seizure. I struggled with 10s until it was pointed out to me that most of my ‘heroes’ go light - Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons (.007), Peter Frampton, Tony Iommi, BB King, Chuck Berry all use/d .008s and let’s face it, they’ve done ok. There’s no harm at all using lighter strings, and wow, how much easier it’s made learning!

    For beginners learning blues you should describe the root note and the turn around for each lick. Because most licks to all have turn arounds. Helped me a whole lot with my General playing with improvising when my fathers band members taught me about it simplicity of it. Pretty much helps with creativity if some need practice with creating new sounds and songs etc

    Any tips on what strings to use? I changed my strings to .009. Now I can bend on acoustic.

    • @goranlevi
      @goranlevi 8 лет назад

      0.10 are the standard and are good to start. If you're really struggling with bends you should work more at technique before going down from 0.10 Once I got used to 0.10 I upgraded to 0.11 and then 0.12 which is the gauge I'm currently playing (on electric and acoustic). Thicker strings give you a fuller sound (I personally prefer their sound) but are harder to bend. Which strings you're gonna use is up to you. Best thing is to change gauges and brands to know what you like. If bending or any other technique hurts you, you should stop inmediately. Playing should not hurt. I hope I have helped you

    • @Wren6991
      @Wren6991 8 лет назад +1

      I've heard that the different sound of thicker strings comes from the different-feeling pick attack throwing players off, and not from the strings themselves, have you also heard this? What do you think?
      There are certainly plenty of people (Yngwie, BB King, Billy Gibbons) who play(ed) with very thin strings and got a very "full" tone.

  • @dannymckown3337
    @dannymckown3337 6 лет назад +10

    I encourage anyone to pause at 43 and before he shows you exactly how he did it, to go back and try to replicate each to the best of your ability. That's where real growth happens, not from step by step instructions and certainly not from tabs. Don't practice anything half way. Get out what your putting in. Trust me and millions of other guitar players when I say that learning and practicing by ear now, will reap unimaginable rewards for your music creatiing ability further down the road. You don't want to become that "musician" who can only play other people's songs that he got from tabs or from carbon copying step by step "lessons” that "teach" you to replicate rather than create. Don't be like I was at the beginning. A trained ear and just a very basic fundamental idea of how one would create similar licks will pay off in the future more than you know. I hope this saves someone from falling into the same trap I did. Learning to be a musician or a guitarist requires one to have an ear trained enough to be of value at least some use. I have discovered that a well tuned ear and just a basic understanding or at least idea of what's played is what divides the musicians, and guitar players from the guys who just claim to be because they play copies of songs they like. at the very least attempt to emulate what you're hearing. You don't want to learn to only copy it. Trust me please when I say You will never be satisfied with your "music" until you explore it and learn. No amount of "here, copy this now, exactly the way I'm showing you" ever beat " you should try to re create what you want to learn with your available senses first, just see how close you can come" you will gradually become more and more familiar with...really? No way? Ok Get this dude. ... Using your ears as a tool to serve you as a musician. I know. Stupid right? How could ears and a trained sense of hearing possibly have any benefit for any aspring musician ever? Why would you ever take the time to learn that........ 😱

      In his online courses Justin puts a lot of emphasis on ear training.
      For many of us unfamiliar with the structure and anatomy of licks like these I think you need to be shown in detail how they are put together to show you what is possible and how to play the licks and sounds that you want to create.

  • @rlews1531
    @rlews1531 8 лет назад

    Very good. It's too easy to get caught up with a long list of licks. I find it much more helpful to build from fundamental licks, such as these. Okay, so this is not as good a lesson as the disappearing metronome. But that's because the disappearing metronome is one of the greatest lessons ever! If you guys haven't heard that one - please check it out. But other than those other worldly insights, this is top on. The Blue note licks and pattern 2 are as good. And yea, send him some darn money!!!

      @@TYSuggested Probably because the OP was being an asshole without knowing people's individual situation. Literally telling them that if they're in a bad enough spot to not have money to give to a guy on RUclips for showing them 5 easy blues licks, *they should go borrow it* , and insinuating that if they don't, they're a bad person.
      The guy was acting like an absolute douche bag. He clearly hasn't lived paycheck to paycheck in a very long time, yet is telling other people who might be to go borrow money for a youtube lesson.. It's just a douche move.
      I'm guessing that's why he was salty.

    Just snapped all my strings on my guitar, then my neck broke in 3 pieces, I guess a bit too aggresive ?

    Justin lick #3 sounds choppy when I play it, basically the muting before going down to the other note. am I doing something wrong or will it get more fluid with practice?

      Start slow, make sure it sounds clean, and then increase the speed. Use metronome for exact timings

    I most often end all my licks in root note. Is that alright ?

    • @WilliamColie

      Yeah that's fine! But I've always found ending on different notes of the scale, especially ones from the A minor scale can make the licks have more feeling and be more melodic! Try it out!

      Unless you're leading into something else and want to create suspense (like a key change)

      Most licks often end with the root, 3rd, or 5th of the scale

    • @davecarsley8773
      @davecarsley8773 5 лет назад

      The short answer for any BEGINNERS reading this is yes, always try to end your licks on the root note.
      This will change later, but don't worry about it for now. You need to know where every one of those root notes is for every key you solo in all up and down your neck.

    Justin,
    Thank you for the content. In a 1-4-5 blues progression do I pick a lick that start on the root as the chords changes? Doing so will require least 2 patterns. Is this what I am meant to do?

    • @justinguitar

      You do not need to start your licks with the root note. If you only do that it will become predictable and boring very quickly.

    Lick #3 for me was harder than barre chords. It took me a year to play with confidence.

      Man so relieved to hear that. I felt really down after trying many times and sounding like crap.
