Hey friends, today I'm giving away an Ibanez Tube Screamer! Text "Join" to 1609-604-7868 to enter the giveaway! This is my direct line, so feel free to message anytime and send a friendly message. Thanks! -Rob
I've got to say. You have taught me so much! Self taught since 12-now 72. Learning how to marry the notes to the scales and fretboard-game changer for this old ax grinder! Peace
Just wanted to say "Thank you" for a GREAT lesson. Been playin almost 30 years, recently got into Blues Licks, and building my "vocabulary" of Go-to licks, and I can't tell you HOW MUCH I appreciate you keeping them ALL in the SAME key! This has been WAY MORE EFFECTIVE (for ME) than 100 licks ALL in DIFFERENT keys. I finally began to see the FUNDAMENTAL things in ALL Blues Licks, and you can properly show MAJOR and MINOR and how to get "in and out" of them...
It's like you're giving away the blues in gold bars, gift wrapping it and handing it to us with a smile. I've been playing for a spell, but STILL this video I find has tremendous value. Thank you!
thanks for such great explanations on why these licks work in the scale patterns and how it all starts tieing together.. definitely a gifted teacher. excited to check out your lessons. thanks again
wow. thank you so much. this is a lessons ive been looking for soo long. you got it all. explaining pentatonic major vs mainor vs blues, interchanging it, moving the entire neck, adding signatures from legends like bb king and srv, transitions, tabs, playing in slowmo and normal. 31 minutes but worth to rewing endlessly, surely enough for a week of practising. respect!! just one thing that intrigues me: celebrating srv, but not playing his strat!
This video is one of the very best I've seen for delivering instantly usable information/technique/ licks. I appreciate very much your generosity in devoting your time to strangers to help them gain more enjoyment from the guitar. I'm in a blues band and I will use ALL of these licks in some fashion. Thank you!
You are so easy to watch, you are a great teacher. Been playing 53 yrs. In Southern Rock bands, with great musicians, some you would know, and others you wouldn’t, each great in their own way, but I truly enjoy your stuff, you will make players better, and beginners enjoy learning. Look forward to watching your other videos.
Somehow I stumbled across this lesson but I’m glad I did. Even though I’m late to the party as I see this was created two years ago, I’m having a blast with it.
Another awesome lesson! Thank you so very much. I am really developing passion for blues guitar and you make it very accessible. Learning these licks is so much fun👍👍❤️🎸🎸 thank you !
Awesome lesson for those like me who know the skeleton for pentatonic scales, but when playing seems like we are practising going up and down, forwards and backwards secuentially on the scale. Thanks!!
On the surface a lot of licks that sound great there and easy to play with practice. Dig a little deeper and there's an awful lot there in terms of understanding the positions of the scale on the neck and using the major and minor. I can get so much out of this. Thank you.
One of the best guitar content creators out there, youve helped my improv and playing immensely through numerous different lessons! keep it up, love your channel!
Thank you for this lesson and the time you have taken for preparing the diagrams and your super demonstrations of the licks. I have learnt a lot from this lesson.
This is one of the best tutorials on RUclips. I'm just starting again, after 15+ years away. Haven't played since high school. These are great since you learn not just fun licks but the scales as well.
Man we're on the same boat. People got so much expectation of me when I was in high school but I stopped playing when I get into college. 12 years later I bought my own electric guitar and felt like starting over again but it's more enjoyable this time since the understanding is so much easier now and big thanks to the god like presentation of this video. Makes me wonder how the people I look up to in the past learned this in the first place without youtube lol
@Aldrin Aldrin yeah! Lol. Same here, I quit because I started getting pretty good and people were always pressuring me to practice and make a career out of it. I totally put it away about 15-20years ago. I'm 38 now, and can actually enjoy it on my own terms. I lost much of what I knew, but I'm picking it up quicker now than I did in high school. But yeah, good luck with it!
This is one of my favorite lessons I have ever come across. Mixing the major and minor pentatonic gives you such a great sound. Thank you for the time you put into this. This really is a great lesson keep up the good work
I joined. I'm 72 (played since I was 22) with 3 acoustic guitars and a Les Paul on layaway. Obviously, your 20 licks is right up my alley with a Les Paul coming within a week. Rodger ...Waves (Seattle)
I've tried other musicians on RUclips but I always come back to swift lessons.I find your lessons on patreon the best, with the best pdf study guide too!
after 60 years of playing keyboards , in jan 23 im going back to guitar. i know chords and patterns,but i remember being weak on picking out good leads. i can duplicate what you play on my keyboard BUT my goal is to re learn this on my guitar. thanks for your video.
My pleasure, and be sure to check out my latest tutorial on some tasty B.B. King licks: ruclips.net/video/dCh0L58451A/видео.html&pp=gAQBiAQB. Have fun! -Rob
I just started my RUclips Channel. Being a born again guitarist,back after 20 yrs,I'm only focusing on blues. This video is a for a saver. I'm gonna compile my favorite,easy to understand blues instructional vids on my Channel soon. Great vid,and keep them coming.
Too often you look on RUclips to look for this kind of thing and end up looking at stuff that you have heard all too often but this is an excellent lesson there is so much to be learned so thank you so much for taking the time 😀
Great stuff man! This is exactly what I needed. Realizing I'm beyond the beginner/intermediate lessons at this point and need to stop going back to those hoping they'll push me further. Just need the licks now.
Swift is BY FAR the best reference to me when it comes to learning cool licks….. I really liked the example you gave in lick 13 when you showed the minor A scale more than the lick 13 itself 😂 (some tabs on it would be nice) tank you so much for your lessons ❤

The BEST guitar Blues tutorial I have ever seen. Coming from a sax player, retired music teacher, still active musician. Bravo!
What a tasty set of Riffs... probably the best set of Riffs I've seen put together in one lesson. Well done Swiftie!!!
This great lesson will keep me busy for 20 days 😀. A lick 👅 each evening ... thanks Rob!
Amazing class bro … 🤘🏻👏🏻
Amazing video.
I watch every single second of it as a reference.
This video is one of the reasons that I love my Duesenberg more and more
thanks for such great explanations on why these licks work in the scale patterns and how it all starts tieing together.. definitely a gifted teacher. excited to check out your lessons. thanks again
I'm so glad I found this channel. Instantly I knew I was home for a while.

entire neck, adding signatures from legends like bb king and srv, transitions, tabs, playing in slowmo and normal. 31 minutes but worth to rewing endlessly, surely enough for a week of practising. respect!!

I've been playing for 40 years and still was able to pick up some new things. Thanks. 🙂👍💯
From Argentina we appreciate your excellent blues lessons
Dude these are exactly what I was looking for!!! All so tasty definitely going to evolve my playing!
This is by far the best Blues guitar lesson for phrasing
This video is one of the very best I've seen for delivering instantly usable information/technique/ licks.

Really unlocked some things for me. Playing more than 45 years. Knew scales and caged but this put it all together brilliantly. Thanks
Awesome lesson for those like me who know the skeleton for pentatonic scales, but when playing seems like we are practising going up and down, forwards and backwards secuentially on the scale. Thanks!!
Yes I have that problem
Saw just a few ones but sure that i will be back to learn other clear and cool licks of yours. Thanks!
On the surface a lot of licks that sound great there and easy to play with practice. Dig a little deeper and there's an awful lot there in terms of understanding the positions of the scale on the neck and using the major and minor. I can get so much out of this. Thank you.
Wow! Rob your lessons are brilliant and pitched at a challenging but achievable level. Thank you from Western Australia.
Thank you. Thanks for taking time to put tabs and notes.

I’m only 7 months in to playing guitar, but I gotta say. Stuff like this, and learning the pentatonic scale seems like a cheat code.
Brilliant!! I think I'll come back to this often. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
