Dear Jack, this is the best intro to 2 5 1 I have ever seen. You find the appropriate speed for your lesson, no unnecessary talking and a very calm and sympathetic voice. Thank you very much! Warm regards from Germany, Klaus
I was going to compliment him on the exact points that you made about his vibe and approach. You said it for me. Very cool that we noticed the same qualities! Thanks Jack!!
ii V I...ii V I. I must have heard about this ii V I a million times but this lesson nailed it. How could just playing the chord tones with a flat 9 added make the whole sequence sound so beautiful? Thank you Jack for a great lesson. I completely dig it.
Thanks bud - I appreciate they way you look at the fretboard for chords and fills. I always wondered where people come up with some of their note choices.
Clear explanations as always and I really encourage people to discover Jack's Patreon as it is full of useful tricks to progress; one of the best on the net in my opinion
Hi Jack, glad i found your RUclips Channel. I really enjoyed the classes you did for Sonora. Really incredible stuff. You've changed the way I approach my entire practice. I'll be subscribing to your Patreon and hopefully the Sonora folks can rope you back in for more blues materclasses!
You can make the simplest things sound incredible. Such feel and touch. A joy to listen to. So classy. 👏 Oh, and none the less important, note choice. Love it. You've got great tone too. Have I missed anything? 🤔 Wicked.
the ii-V-1 cadential progression is quite versatile. The modulation can have the ii either dom, maj, min, or dim resolving to the 1 which can also either be maj or min.
Thanks for teaching me that I know nothing guitar playing is very frustrating. I’ve been playing for 40 years and I still suck at it sometimes I wonder why I even keep my guitars
what a gift for the new year by YT best teacher, I have been wandering for years what the other musician were doing during this turnaround. Does It means it also opens the 5 to tri-tone subs and related 2 to the sub?
Hi Jack You sent me the lesson to A simple way, I need the "backing track" if you have it. Thank you! I also need the "backing track" to --- Add jazz phrasing and knowledge to the blues". Thank you.
Happy 2024 Jack and thanks for another great lesson! I have been using the ii-V-I to the IV but have not thought of taking it back to the I so thanks for the insight! I love the look and tone of the 335 you use in this video and I have my eye on a 2022 Custom '64 at a local shop. Is your guitar vintage or a reissue?
Thanks for the amazing lesson. Easy to grasp and understand. Love your tone, is that straight into an amp? There is no way i can get my 335 sounding like that.
Thanks very much Jack, that inspired me to get back into the blues. I was wondering when are you planning on posting the tab on Patreon? I signed up today but couldn't locate it. Thanks, ksumsar.
Thank you for the lesson, Jack. It must be cold where you are playing, just a suggestion for you to keep that Gibson from getting zipper rash. You may want a unzipperd sweet shirt. Thanks again
Hi Jack- will you be posting visuals on your Patreon site? I would like to visualize the 12 Bar Blues with the 25 -1 inserts- what is being taken out, are these half measures per chord...some visual of the composition would be very helpful.... thanks!!!!
Hello Jack can you point me to the Tabs for this one? Im also a "new" Patreon member but I cant seem to find the tabs for this one. Thanks, and Thanks for doing what you do! outstanding material.
Thanks for this. I learn a lot from your blues lessons. A question, tho’: it looks like you’re playing the b9 on your A chord. Could you talk about that or am I misunderstanding what you’re playing?
Hi Jack ---Where can the backing track be found for "A simple way to add sophistication to the blues"" Its not on the patreon page listing Jan 20th. Thx
Hello, Jack. How long before the tab and backing track for this lesson show up on your Patreon page? The newest entry I see there is from last month. Thanks!
Why did you pick the 13th chord? There is a song 'what about me' By Ruby Carter and the Exceptional 3.. I was hearing a 13th chord lick as the main rith, So I started playing 1-6-2-1 all over it lol, upon actually listing to it I realised it is more like a blues arrangement probably more like what you describe on here 😶🌫. The way you fret the A13th it looks like your ring finger is touching the Flat 9 note.. I agree it is not normally featured in chords (except for in Boleros... They have everything, I think anglos were superstitious about flat 5 chords, not Catholics!), but I think flat 9 is used allot in singing melodies.
Hi Jack, the licks played are delicate and smooth. But I can't say I agree your explanation. A7 as a resolution chord ain't right like A7 is a A tonality. A7 chord G is natural. A maj G is #. Also A maj 4th chord is D Maj7. Resolution is always a majord chord. You can hear playing a 7chord as an en ending is not sounding achieved. Therefore everything is allowed in music. But theory is theory! 🙂
Something important is to understand the musical context, beyond the (western classical) theory. It's a blues, that A has to be a dominant chord. Try the maj7, and it sounds totally out of the style. Cool thing, is that our ear perceives the ii V7 I7 cadence as a subdominant-dominant-tonic and goes with it, despite the dominant chord. Music theory is cool, but it's not the Music.

Been playing for 20 years. As someone who studies voice leading, playing outside, and the highest forms of blue playing - this is an excellent video
Thanks bud - I appreciate they way you look at the fretboard for chords and fills. I always wondered where people come up with some of their note choices.

Yes you can
Perfect...

Your tone is very pleasing. Is that an actual Gibson ES335 or something else?
Hi Jack ---Where can the backing track be found for "A simple way to add sophistication to the blues"" Its not on the patreon page listing Jan 20th. Thx
Good lesson….but would be helpful to have some on screen tabs…to follow along?❤
Hello, Jack. How long before the tab and backing track for this lesson show up on your Patreon page? The newest entry I see there is from last month. Thanks!
Best lesson ever
Hi, does anyone know what Fender amp that is in the background? Also, if anyone has seen him play live, can you tell me what amp he uses live. Thanks
Looks like an old Bassman head, I think.
Great.
Explore.

May I have question about your triad course, what is the coupon code?
Do you have a similar video for minor ii V I's?
Where is the backing track to be found? Thx

Is there an old Blues player(s) who just instinctively used this cadence over and over? give links please.
The chord is A13b9 ?
Robben always says he looks at everything as a II V I
i just not love your music.... i love how you are trying to make people understand how it is put togethr ... wow ... love you
Oh man, those Pickups sure do look like Mr Holmes‘…..
You are SMOOVE baby
I tried the "c" scale and heard "Welcome Back Kotter."
