Thanks very much for posting this. Cool to see the thought process unfold. I loved that chromatic stuff and the tip about ending on the b7. For those of you that are frustrated by the pace of this lesson, it's really intended for more advanced players. He's not teaching specific licks note for note (obviously). He's talking about his approach to building a lead. If, for instance, you were confused by his reference to the "B.B." box and how he uses it to start his solo, it's not Josh Smith time. It's B.B. time. Go study that stuff and then come back to these lessons. Want to learn chromatic/diminished stuff? Go study the bebop players Smith loves. Cascades? Country time. This is a really good, really creative guitar player who draws on a lot of influences and has a very unique sound.
Thanks actually, I was picking up on a lot but was admittedly lost on the cascade part. I'll check out some country players when I have the time. Now that I think about it the way it sounds sort of reminds me of a banjo player's picking patterns, but I'm honestly pretty ignorant on that kind of stuff. Guess it's study time!
Fantastic! Who on earth would give this a thumbs down? Josh is so clearly a master on the guitar and seems to be a really nice guy, too.... Oh well, keep playing, Josh!
One of my favorite players right now. Learning so much from josh. True fire lessons are great. I love these lessons showing how to glue these pieces together, I have all the vocabulary down for improvising but he’s showing what to play through the chords and how to glue them together. Keep up the awesome work! Never been a better time to be a guitar player!
Somewhere in Hertfordshire England a retired man in his 50s cancels all diary entries for the next month, sets youtube playback speed to 50%... and picks up Telecaster..
Outstanding, smart video, by a smart, most talented person. Don't know who did it, but that screen breakdown: player, strike, and fingering, is simple, practical, and I saw it first here (just 4 years late). Liked it, "liked", and subscribed. Thumbs to the sky.
Josh you're are awesome player but besides that your musical vision and concept is very deep you have totally changed the way look at soloing and improvising. You have so many cool nuances in your playing. I like that you really dig in and play hard you squeeze ever ounce of emotion from every single note..you're one of a kind bruh great teaching
Looks like some pretty heavy gauge strings with some pretty strong hands! Regardless, great sound, great playing, great teacher and - I'm guessing - a great guy
I use open string mixo lick in third position in key of g for something like opening for flash rocky top solo at start of solo I learned from a great player named Dale Bruno in LA. He also had Bigsby palm pedals for steel effect on Gibson 345. I think the best openstring lick guy is JerryReed and thosewho teach his style,maybe start with the Claw.
You realize that Josh didnt post this video. He isn't going to respond to you I'm affraid. That would be like watching a clip from The Matrix then asking Keanu Reeves a question in the comments section
These vids dont help guys that want to get to the next level, hes so talented tho, i just dont have the money they want to find out ill never play like this anyway itd be nice if they at least gave u a tab , chart , sumthin with this too...everythings for sale i guess . Hes definately worth the $ if i had it
2019 You are great. But how we wish that you could post the tabs or chord shapes of ALL your lessons on SCREEN for free. Just like CIFRA CLUB is doing. No expectations though. Thank you, anyway.
All the pros lessons are like that. Eric johnsons are even worse. Yeah just play this penatonic run...plays 50 notes...im like no way i can copy all that that fast haha
chole priicce that's just emphasizing the chord tones. they seem daunting at first but there's a few shapes which repeat throughout the fret board. having an idea of where the notes lie also helps. once you get these concepts down even just playing pentatonic becomes colorful.
chole priicce The chord progression is the sequence of chords that make up the harmonic structure of a song. In a standard 12-bar blues in A, the progression is: A7 | A7 | A7 | A7 | D7 | D7 | A7 | A7 | E7 | E7 | A7 | A7 || Each chord in a chord progression has at least 3 tones: a root (what the bass plays), a third (what determines if it's major or minor), and a fifth (what determines if the chord is natural, diminished, or augmented; most chords are natural). In blues and jazz, it's also common for other 'color' tones (e.g. sevenths and ninths) to be added on top of the 3 primary chord tones. "Playing over the progression" simply means incorporating in your solo the tones of each chord as it comes up. Now, in blues, you don't *have* to do that: you can just play the blues scale all the time, without worrying about where you are in the progression at all. But you'll sound much better if you emphasize certain chord tones at the right time. If you do it well, people can hear the chord progression in your playing even if you're playing a solo without accompaniment.
Bonjour monsieur vitesse vous pourriez allé moins vite car on dirait que vous ne voulez pas que l on puisse voir et toute vos vidéos sont comme ça non et non au revoir
this is only any good if you can play well, it just way to fast to learn from, a lot more people will join your Chanel if you slow it down, like Marty you play well but this is only any good for advanced players
So generous man and actually one of the best blues player of his generation. Extremely beautiful guitar's sound too

I'm so glad to see a lesson that's not for absolute beginners.
Such a genius player and teacher. The nuances in his phrasing are jaw dropping.
I always learn every time I watch one of his videos.
Fantastic! Who on earth would give this a thumbs down? Josh is so clearly a master on the guitar and seems to be a really nice guy, too.... Oh well, keep playing, Josh!
Could be people who hate blues.
great player, performer & fantastic teacher!
Just completely outstanding, three months homework in a couple of minutes. Cheers Josh

Somewhere in Donegal Ireland a man in his 50s has just put down his Gibson and locked the case!!
tempted too
Somewhere else in Hertfordshire England..another fella follows suit! But I'm not thinking a month...maybe a yr or two..
I live in Harrow lol

Those 'cascades' are sick!
I'm digging the multi angle presentation. Good stuff for us absolute beginners.
Josh, I would have loved hearing you play with BB! He would have loved you!
You’re really a great bluesman.
Very inspiring.
Thanks for all and let’s rock’n’roll !!
Josh Smith is such an inspiring musician!
Gosh, lifetime work for sure.thanks
YOU ARE THE MAN
So good, Josh!
Yeah!! Josh is fantastic!!

This guy is amazing! Awesome licks...
Thanks for this cut from Josh's visit. Thankfully, there's half speed on U2b! This six minute venture may take a while to digest. Thanks again TF!
This guy is a master
Great blues guitar player
I get what you’re doin but man it’s hard. Love the bite n your tone too, great lesson!
Impressive! Cheers from Indonesia.
Josh. You bad man.
Yes he's got my attention! Very cool bro...
Best video I’ve seen in a while astgese are all things that will get me playing more outside the comfort zone
awesome possum. very inspirational! thank you!
oh, my. just. wow! thank you!!
Amazing!
Sensacional, vendo e revendo um por um aqui do Brasil.
Great Josh, thanks!
Awesome lesson! You can always slow down the video to half speed... pause and go back until you get it
He plays that cascade lick a lot. If I was going to try and do a solo that emulated him I would definitely make sure I played that at some point
"Let's play this lick slow and fast", meanwhile me waiting for him to play slow
Josh Genius
I was telling my buddy Joe Conners from Bonita Springs about you n he tells me that you two played together back in the day. Joe says hello
This is fantastic
My god....what did I just witness. I know what I'm going to be playing for the next eternity..
Wow...just wow
After everything that's happened so far in 2020, 2:39 is how i've decided to live the rest of my life
unreal comment, have a thumbs up
I love your volume contrast between notes.
Buenísimo josh! Saludos desde mexico
Great video. Struck home.
Thank you man 🙏
Pedal licks. Pat Martino would repeat a line throughout the whole chorus. Builds tension and energy!
what a nice guy he is ..and ofc amazing techique ...hope he will find his own voice one day...
Wowwwwwwwwww great stuff 😀😀😀🙏🙏🙏🤘🤘🤘
I love this guy’s playing, great lines! I’m just starting my on channel, and true fire has always been a great inspiration. Keep up! Just subbed
Well Played Sir.
I actually liked the chromatic pentatonic and cascade licks better when played slower, as I could enjoy more of the intricacy of them.
Fantastic
Thank you :)
Amazing!
Looks like some pretty heavy gauge strings with some pretty strong hands! Regardless, great sound, great playing, great teacher and - I'm guessing - a great guy
the lick at 2:19 is sooo good. wish he would break it down real slow.
Just go to settings on the player and change the speed as slow as you want. Click on the little gear icon that reads HQ and change the playback speed.
bravissimo !
Alfredo Di Maro hahaaa
@@MegaTuang Cazzo ridi!
Sarebbe perfetto se i link le facessi vedere piano
I use open string mixo lick in third position in key of g for something like opening for flash rocky top solo at start of solo I learned from a great player named Dale Bruno in LA.

great solo box 3 in key of A????
Too advanced for me but I am going to try anyway :D
Keep trying and you'll achieve
The RUclips speed setting of .25 is handy here if your brain has trouble with gnat notes.
Josh, could you tell us your rig. If I’m going shopping for effects and amps, etc, I would like to start with your tone on this lesson. Thank you.
You realize that Josh didnt post this video. He isn't going to respond to you I'm affraid. That would be like watching a clip from The Matrix then asking Keanu Reeves a question in the comments section
Please tell me what brand name of guitar that is.
Chapin T
Your amazing! Very intelligent on your style but please slow it down some more
Use Settings and Speed towards the bottom right corner of the video.
The only hope I see for learning this is to go to "settings" (lower right) and put the video on about half or less speed.
0:25
3:34 4:05 4:30 5:08
Great player , great explanations but can you slow it down so slow people can learn too. Thanks
Robert Richter in case it can help you, RUclips has a slowdown function for all the videos
Robert Richter or just a thought, you could buy the lesson on TruFire and put some money in Josh’s pocket for passing on his knowledge to you
These vids dont help guys that want to get to the next level, hes so talented tho, i just dont have the money they want to find out ill never play like this anyway itd be nice if they at least gave u a tab , chart , sumthin with this too...everythings for sale i guess . Hes definately worth the $ if i had it
en francais?
"...let me play it slow for you.." that only put 40 notes in the measure not 70... thanks Josh.
hahahaha
Great player, lesson material too quick, Truefire is a great site so perhaps pay the dosh and get some tabs
Played this at 50% speed. Pretty funny.
how is this free?
I'll probably never understand the 'feel' term. I'm just blank face looking at this video even when I play.
2019
You are great. But how we wish that you could post the tabs or chord shapes of ALL your lessons on SCREEN for free. Just like CIFRA CLUB is doing.
No expectations though.
Thank you, anyway.
Just watch and learn man, it's all there and it's all in A..
3:55
🎓👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌👍🙏
Your Not Human I know that now....
Nice licks! No need the reverb...
Yeah, very cool but too quick: I can't learn anything in this way. Slowly, please.
Francesco 018 try slowing down the playback thats suites your timing
What I hate about these videos as an instructor, it’s more like, watch what I can do, and less about how to get there.
old school approach. slow it down and learn from the music. How can he explain something he's been doing since he was a kid?
You can play. Teach, not so much. Less is more.
Great sounds but there's a lot more playing going on here than communicating it clearly for learning.
love his playing but his teaching is too fast at times.
Work your way up and rejoice that there's also high-speed teaching. It works when you get further
All the pros lessons are like that. Eric johnsons are even worse. Yeah just play this penatonic run...plays 50 notes...im like no way i can copy all that that fast haha
Great lick, but still way too fast for me to pick up. Shame
I’ll never understand “playing over the chord progression”.
chole priicce that's just emphasizing the chord tones. they seem daunting at first but there's a few shapes which repeat throughout the fret board. having an idea of where the notes lie also helps. once you get these concepts down even just playing pentatonic becomes colorful.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.

He speaks and explaines as thight as he plays 😅
Bonjour monsieur vitesse vous pourriez allé moins vite car on dirait que vous ne voulez pas que l on puisse voir et toute vos vidéos sont comme ça non et non au revoir
Yeah great player but lousy teacher… he can’t be bothered to slow it down or break it down
is that a lesson ?🧐👎
this is only any good if you can play well, it just way to fast to learn from, a lot more people will join your Chanel if you slow it down, like Marty
you play well but this is only any good for advanced players
Time for you to practice more then ;p
So this is a demonstration of how great a guitarist you are, but a Lesson it is not.
sure it is a lesson, i guess it depends on your level.
I love this guy’s playing, great lines! I’m just starting my on channel, and true fire has always been a great inspiration. Keep up! Just subbed
Amazing!
