    Just realized my foot was tapping to MY heartbeat. I picked up my fretted guitar tuned to GBD and just played the bottom D string, like you said before, just go for it. I liked the harmony and I was just playing by ear. First time. Thank you, Shane.

  • @kentkb1031

    @tomschaefer1551 2 года назад +3

    Thanks Shane for getting back to blues basics for old hackers like me. Been building for a few years now and I need to spend more time learning by a process instead of just random lick and tricks. Keep the fretless blues lessons coming.

  • @sheilabecker66

  • @tomtemple7734
    @tomtemple7734 2 года назад

    Again, great basic riffs. This rundown must be used on hundreds of blues tunes and is a must-have lick for playing blues. Combined with your 12-bar lesson you have enough to begin to impress your friends. Nice work!
    Also, the use of a slide guitar is a great idea. No real need to worry about fretting for good old time blues, a slide and three strings does it all. Thanks!

    Another great video lesson for the ultra beginner. I really like your focus on the picking hand as my experience with other video lessons is that they leave you guessing on what to do with the picking hand. Please keep the Blues University lessons coming. Thank you so much. BE Well!!!

    Again, taught the way I prefer. Individual goals taught and reviewed, then blended together into a smooth lesson. Then, a preview of some future steps.
    Having trained and taught individuals with developmental disabilities and brain injuries, I find this method to be very successful for imparting new skills to beginners!

    Lesson 2, oh yeah! I haven't cut a class yet, this the best University I have ever attended. Don't tell me I can't go back to school, I'm only 72 years old, and playing the CBG makes me feel like it's 1967 all over again, and I'm back in my dorm room as a Freshman art student. You ain't just a Perfesser, you be Dean Speal, head of the School of Bluesiosity! Bring on Lesson 3!!!!!!!

    I like how you take you time explaining how exactly you are strumming. A lot of videos I have watched I have no idea what strings are being strum or what pattern is being used. You explain everything, so even someone like me can understand. Thanx
