Great!

Real great lesson. I use some of this stuff in my playing but i know nothing about scales. So this is really helpfull. I like it that you don’t make it too theoretical. Thanks 👍

Great lesson. And I was glad to see that I do all these tricks without thinking about it.

Do you play those two notes at the same time…low note with pick top note with pointer fingernail? It sounds great. (Btw, it was because of Hendrix’s version of “All Along The Watchtower” that I coined the term “whammybar” back in either 68 or 9. Not Lonnie Mack. I’m the guy. A nobody. Lol Big deal, eh? 😊(True)

Great vid. Thankyou!

8:25 I got that da da da (sht! Here we go again!) You say Clapton but I got it from Gilmour. Did David Gilmour nick it from Eric Clapton? (Yes, I said “nick” because I watch way too much Britbox! Go Vera!) 😊

Thanks, Tim. I always have trouble knowing where to start a solo.

When I was going to blues jams, during one of the revival periods, hardly any of the blues 'specialists' could do anything in a major key! TBH I could only do it, via the 'West Coast' period stuff of the 'country blues' style, and the intial Chuck Berry period, which fuelled the first 'beat boom'. Someone worth checking is Ian Bairnson. His website is still up and in the discography section are lots of audio clips, but they're linked via 'shockwave/flash' elements, so you need something like Ruffle browser extension to access them. There's some youtube clips of him playing blues, and it demonstrates how the blues influenced his other playing.

You've got a strange accent. You're not, by any chance, from the "Surrey delta," are you? Stupid jokes aside, great video lesson! Cheers from the USA!

You can't play the blues unless you have suffered. I have played bass in so many blues bands with bad guitarist that I have suffered so much and now considered the best in my area.

Love it. This overview of learning the blues language, resonated with me because it reinforced many of the things I suspected . It also made me wonder about the emotional side and what it was about blues, that attracted me , in the first place , years ago.

Rorry Gallagher too

8:57 How is it that there are so many kids playing like EVH? Makes me want to jump out a window. 😊

4:17 To me that’s verging on Alvin Lee, to start “I’m Going Home”. (I use my pinky then ring finger for a few quick pull offs (Eb,D,C…landing on A,then a quick D. God! I hate trying to be articulate in two languages! Lol) Anyway, keep going. Oh wait! I have to undo pause. (I’m 70, you know, so…)

Another great video. I know so many blues chords, triads and diads etc that I would be a pretty good 2nd guitarist. When it comes to taking a lead…I suck. Your vids are (eloping. (What the hell does that mean?! I meant “helping”. Lol Spellcheck my ass) Thanks again! Cheers!

Thanks Tim ❤❤

This is an amazing lesson, thanks for posting and thank you KZbin ❤❤😂

Very nice, subbed. Thanks much

Well done Tim. I’ve heard all these tips before in isolation, but this summary really made the techniques sink in. As an intermediate player for 50 years I really need to master them all 😂

Great video!

Any lessons coming up about blues RUB licks of notes that are rubbing against each other. Clapton cream live album four CD box set and the reunion 2000s concert often does these blues rubbing notes. I think the concept is it's dom7 triad notes a half step above the key to rub these notes against the key or chord tones.

thank you for this. subscribed.

Great video to introduce me into blues. Subscribed

All these technique tips are right on. However, don't forget that the best technique played without feeling will be boring to the listener (and you). Ya gotta feel it!

Proper lesson, 👍, subscribed,

Someone I came to late was T Bone Walker.Truly essential ,as well as mimicing saxophone and harmonica players..The greatest all sang.Singing is the goal too.

Lots of good points here mate.. iv had a guitar since i was 12 but never got any wair. iv been playing them bar chords all over but smoting has all ways been missing.. but throwing all this InFo in to the mix game changer.. i got the tune's in my head all right but getting them to my finger tips is very slow.. im 60+ and love playing my guitar i just keep on trying thank you so much

It's about his tones, not the notes.

Everything I play sounds like 💩

Hi Tim Greg from Australia here. What a wonderfull plain language, sensibly flowing and all encompassing blues tutorial. I feel like i can take each of the ten tips and work on them to get more into the Blues. Which, of course, was where it all started. Thanks Greg S

Dude, really like your vids. Should have dozens of more followers than you have. Gnailing the 7’s and 9’s! Bends: love that part (8:55). I saw that reversi guitarists would bend down because it was a stronger way to do it. Anyways, carry on. Enjoy your show. 🤙🏼

Most importantly The blues playing is suppose to be replicating singing. You’re suppose to sound like a human singer. Singers don’t bend pitch really fast, they don’t do vibrato really fast or same same. Listen to blues singers, replicate their voice. Learn the vocal melody in the guitar, copy it, during the solo, quote parts of the vocal melody. This is number one Thank me later

If I don't keep an eye on him he'll drop back into triplet mode....classic, side splitting material right there. You have a good sense of humour!

Thanks Tim really great stuff ! With "Big Jim" on the show ,you are obviously Experienced !

Does this guy know the blues or what?

I'm 70 now and have just picked up my guitar again after 20 years... because, life. Those 20 yr old strings probably need replacing. But for now, I'm just trying to get my hand around the F as I rediscover the fretboard. I still have the sound in my head. Thanks for giving us all such an incredible map to help find it.

Very Nice:)

Good vid', clear, concise and well presented.

Fk me! Where have you been all this time?!! Thank you so much! I’m standing here with my acoustic, letting my coffee get cold, and can’t wait to try this on an electric! Again, thank you , big time!

Awesome video! You kinda remind me of Alvin Lee (RIP A.L.!) too... Got me to hit subscribe!

Thank you Maestro

You must be able to play the 3 chords in all 5 places. So in the key of E: EAB-DGA-CFG-ADE-GCD (all Dominant 7 forms). Knowing this is how to move all over the neck, always knowing both the letter name of the note as well as the INTERVAL (b3 or whatever) that it is against the chord.- If you don’t know those 2 things (like: I’m playing G# the major 3rd of E7) then you are lost. (Sorry to be so rude.)

I’m 69 years old and still improving. I’ve been playing since I was ten years old . I fell in love with the blues when I was 12 years old I found Live and well BB KING . I WAS HOOKED . IVE PLAYED PRO AROUND THR GLOBE AND IM STILL LEARNING ❤☮️🎸

Thank you from St. Louis , Missouri USA

I have been playing 40 years plus - Great video and the others - Back to basics! Thanks for sharing!

I'd say you hit the nail on the head with this lesson!

Really appreciated this video.

Just discovered your channel and I'm really loving it. What's the Fraser guitar like?

Great summary 👍
