    I first checked this video out was a couple years ago, when I had first picked my guitar up after 20+ years. I've been coming back every once in a while to see if I've improved enough to follow along with this, and for the first time I've been able to get through it with a lot of backing it up and getting each part right before moving on. Very cool!

    Mr. Grossman's timing is always impeccable. You can see how effortless he approaches a piece here, whether he is playing a simple blues lick or a complicated rag. The definition, the attack, and the timing in general, are always to be admired when you here him on here playing something. Thanks for posting this. I am always more intrested in the WAY he plays rather than the notes he plays. That is what seperates him from most people..

    • @Keef335
      @Keef335 4 года назад

      I am a long time player a former shredder, I ditched rock and metal guitar when I realised the real art to blues playing. Even though it can be harmonically 'simple', the idea that you can play rhythm and lead simultaneously, play over the chord changes and actually produce grooving, complete musical statements is what makes this so appealing and great to both play and listen to. There is a lot more going on than most realise, there is a whole world of musically theory that opens up playing over the changes that musically challenged people such as much self may be able to grasp due to the 'simplicity' of the blues. It's as complicated or simple as you chose to make it. The most important aspect of this style is feel and bass/melody accompaniment. I am willing to bet most guitar players that learn electric lead playing or play metal and rock would not be able to rock this style, as most neglect the importance of rhythm and targeting chord tones over chord changes. This guy right here is an absolute master, having met and studied with the best, documenting their repertoire and carrying on the tradition here. He is probably the best resource for this stuff that you can find, he has literally been there and done it. This lesson right here combines so many different elements and styles, you can here a lot of lightnin' hopkins in this slow blues but also contains some sweeter sounds as he targets the major 3rd over some of the changes. I am still a novice in this style so I can't pinpoint exactly what other influences are in this song, but I can assure you that it contains a very pure and complete, distilled combination of phrases and influences. Probably the only lesson you would ever really need to play a slow blues in E

    How cool is this, Stefan Grossman giving us lessons Fantastic eh. Playing rhythm and lead at the same time is always very tricky and takes hours and hours of practice, but it's worth every minute. The easy way to learn I believe, is to break it down to very small pieces and remember Never Give Up, go to a mirror and tell yourself everyday, I'M GOING TO DO THIS, then practice at least 2 hours a day or even 6 hours WHATEVER it takes. Thank you Stefan for sharing your talent, it's deeply appreciated by all of us who LOVE playing guitar.
