    • @olimon63
      @olimon63 3 года назад +2

      I agree. And one important thing: Licks are being played with guitars that beginners use to own, instead of teaching to beginners with those custom shop expensive guitars... Furthermore, another lesson is learnt: You dont need a special guitar model for playing blues.

    See, this is how it is done. Show how to apply them licks at least in a backing track(I IV V). I've been ever looking for someone who teaches this way. Teaching by itself is a gift.

Don't have to watch the videos many times just to work out what's going on. Good appreciation of beginners mindset when so much information needs to be taken in. Great explanations and tips as he's going along without overloading with too much information. Attention to detail is fantastic. All beginner videos should use this video as a template.

    Man. I really needed this. I'm still a bit Rusty with guitar. Never my main instrument. But strongly becoming a major pickup now. I'm all about writing music lately over last several years. Played percussion drumkit mainly 27 plus years. Since I had to stop due to family and apmt I took up keys. Then again recently guitar. My atmo music needed some direction and blues ambient color. I bought a strat and I've been practicing up as often as possible. Also created a gear guitar addiction. But anyway seeing this will SURELY help. I'm not sure if I'm a beginner but I am surely going to get alot out of it for leads. I need licks. I love it. I'll mix this with my lessons to build up my playing style. Thank you.

I would like to add my thanks to all the others - this is an amazing lesson and those licks are just perfect for someone like me - an intermediate player, at best! 😄. I really appreciate the amount of time and work you've put into this tutorial. I notice some change of clothes, so you obviously had to spread it over a number of sessions. Very much appreciated.
