    This lesson felt like I was in really the room with you. In the 20 minutes, I learned more about where I need to target my practice than in months of watching “lessons” on YT. I also immediately signed up for Guitar Wisdom after. Thank you for everything!

    That intro is easily one of the most impressive things I've seen on guitar youtube. There are plenty flashier/faster players, but so few who can create a story in a solo jam.

    I love your channel so much. I have been a member of Guitar Wisdom for 2 months now, and in 2 months I have learned way way more then I have in the last 2 years trying to teach myself. I think this is kinda like the Bb blues lesson on Guitar Wisdom that I have been watching for a few weeks. I love how Guitar Wisdom videos can be used for 1 day or for years. The different levels in the videos are a very nice touch. Even after all of the stuff I have learned so far the most important lesson for me has been NO WORRIES! I am still working on it a little every day and having more fun then I ever have with guitar, Thank you so much for making such an awesome website. You are the first teacher I have ever clicked with, I tried 3 others first but for one reason or another I just understand you more then any of the others I have tried. I am so glad I didn't give up on finding a good teacher.

    This is the most important video of the year, circa 2021. This is how you put the pieces together. You realize immediately where you're weak. I'll use myself as an example, shell chords. I don't know that many. Bottom line is, playing by yourself is going to make you better.
    Edit: Physical strength comes into play as well, especially on the acoustic. It's a ton of barring, and if you're not used to doing that, you will feel it.

    I think going over melodies for specific blues songs is a great way to learn the blues vocabulary, far better than learning scales or separate riffs that are not in the context of a song. Much better continuity done this way. It's also helpful to see various chords mixed in with line solos, especially for solo playing. So thanks for doing this.

    Thank you, Tomo, lovely stuff as always. You did invite requests (oops!), so here is mine. You mentioned today the late Peter Green. For me, Peter at his best was untouchable. He could find the most lyrical beauty, often in relatively simple phrases, and his choices always seemed to be so coherent and 'right'. Perhaps you could say something about that, and illustrate how each choice can make or break a whole song. Thank you!

    Take that same riff over 3 or 4 different things.
    Turn one thing into 3or 4. Learn another thing turn that one into 3or 4.
    Now short time go’s buy and you just built alot of playing music.
    Man how fun is that!!
    We all can’t be Jimmy Vaughan but dam sure fun trying.

    Great video Tomo. I think a key mindset to approach this is also to not be afraid to make mistakes or get stuck and lost. I remember when I first started doing this and I was always getting lost but if you keep at it and applying what you learned you will find ways to get unstuck and over time not get stuck at all. I sometimes still get lost If im doing a song or even just an idea that ive just learned and dont know very well yet and that is ok! Just dont give up on it and it will work for you eventually
