C'est la vie.it's life 😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

[@BayAreaMike99]

My fav is dev delta blues something about the slow dark swamp almost country sounding guitars just🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

[@MSNGR415]

A fan of the slower minor blues sound before I even knew what to call them.. west coast,delta and psychedelic blues are my favorite

[@MATTRONY666]

Very good and informative video and I love the way you play, fucking smashing 👍✌️😎

[@silkee59]

Nice but your reference of Alvin Lee as west coast blues is incorrect as were many others... Not being critical just pointing out misses and hopefully you will check out some of these - West Coast - Johnny Moore, Oscar Moore, Pee Wee Crayton, Lowell Fulson, Along with some modern day players such as Hollywood Fats, Júnior Watson, Rick Holmstrom , Kid Ramos, Little Charlie, Kid Andersen,and many others That embraced what the originators started. Alvin Lee was a British blues based rock guitarist It really should not be listed.

[@Subhabrata]

Beautiful! No talks. Only examples. Valuable Blues education.

[@SuperScarletDragon]

Great playing! Really useful video. There are talented female blues artists out there - be nice to see a few added in the notable artists 😉

[@vas-yguitare7095]

Hello From France !! Great playing. It would have been perfect with a few words for each sub-genre explaining what makes it specific: The use of a particular scale, the accents on the major third, etc... Good video though !!

[@MaxTovstyiMusic]

I am thinking about new video and will include all that you guys asked

[@erod7508]

I agree, I am not too good at jazz but you’re right.

What genre of blues is it when they sing with distortion like they're singing through a CB radio?

[@MaxTovstyiMusic]

Rock music or blues rock

[@WayneMemphisMojo]

DUDE! thanks for posting this educational video for us ... I am definitely gonna use it whenever someone ask me the difference! .... I am now subscribed!

[@peterbridge7940]

I really enjoyed that and when I have time I'll look for the interpretations which may or may not have been posted 😂 although I started playing 60 years ago, I've only really played for about 5 and 1/2 years and I did have a 51-year break and I'd never played any Blues until recently well, back in the sixes I've played some rhythm and blues; so is this going I play bass and I don't have a great ear for hearing changes in chords and I have damaged hearing from heavy metal concerts but I'm playing quite a lot of Blues at jam sessions BUT They are mainly 12 Bar Blues and I had never heard of an 8 Ball Blues until about a year ago so The various length of a blues 8. 12. 16 etc let's not forget nine ball Blues such as sitting on top of this world, and it seems there are quite a few one bar Blues.. To quote sonny boy Williamson you got to help me or should I say please can you help me

[@FerSpada]

This is so helpfull i been playing guitar 4 more of 10 years and I never cared of anything, i just like to play I ended up for develophing a style of playing I don´t know what a hell im doing but I hear my playing very familiar whit something, so thanks to this video now I know what im doing, the jazz/blues is my style and I get it from god knows were. i always like rock so maybe is from there.

[@alanabrams7693]

Just say 14 my friend, 4 more of 10 years sounds almost like a riddle my dude. You didn’t care for anything not of anything also my guy.

The Delta Blues sound deep and authentic. Out of all the sub-styles in your video, I had to play that section over and over.

[@edurangelcastro3671]

You play beautiful, that's the blues just feeling 👏

[@Rennyblue]

Great video!..SRV had many Delta tunes but then again lines are blurry between the genres and you rarely if ever hear someone who only stick to one subgenre .. Blues is blues

[@emwi8743]

Also country blues he played

[@jonathanhathaway7796]

I'm with you. I've played blues for 40 years. Those different styles evolved in different areas, but we are exposed to it all, so it's natural to mix and add new ideas to it. Hendrix and Page brought new things to it, and any player should feel free to do the same. Some like to be faithful to keep the styles separate, and while I can do that, I'd prefer to mix and add.

[@malaquiasalfaro81]

@@jonathanhathaway7796 you can break down blues so much the work songs, Songs like Rosa Lee Hill’s music and boogie-Woogie are all their distinct things lol

[@derekemrie2987]

No K.C. blues, AKA "Jump Blues", gues you can't have it all, well they're all just variations on a common blues scale, and blues progessions.

[@MaxTovstyiMusic]

@@derekemrie2987 i did it during pandemic when I had some free time

[@b.michael7275]

This is a good vid and your playing is superb but I'm pretty sure Brit blues is more akin to Rock'n'roll than actual blues. While they may have covered blues musicians a lot, I think they had plenty more in common with Chuck Berry and Bill Haley than the artists they paid tribute.

[@gringo3002]

Someone should explain what Rhythm & Blues is. (Not me)

[@jaymay7957]

Watched jimmy vaughn last night I love blues but don’t know a ton about it. It’s what I’ve been playing on my guitar lately too. Some super old guy opened for jimmy last night he said he used to play with muddy waters honestly he was awesome

Great guide man, thx a lot!

[@tacotruck7995]

Nice video. Just wish the type was a little bigger

[@xaxaxa22]

whats make the differences? is it only riff or different scales? or only backing track and guitar sounds?

[@MaxTovstyiMusic]

sometimes the approach, sometimes the manner of playing, the sound too, licks too, but yeah, hard to tell the difference

[@jonathanbethards3689]

I would add ZZ Top to the Texas Blues list, for sure. They are often overlooked, as far as playing the blues goes, by too many folks. Saw them live and I am so happy that I did. *R.I.P. 'Dusty' Hill*

[@MaxTovstyiMusic]

Well to me they are more of a rock band rather than blues

[@jonathanbethards3689]

@@MaxTovstyiMusic if you haven't heard much of their early stuff, like pre-MTV ZZ Top, then you're really missing out.

Amazing video and amazing playing!! You should add some examples of funk and fusion blues that came out of the seventies, like jiro inagaki, jaco pastorius, cortex, and nucleus

[@jakefeingold1126]

Then theres also alot of great swing and big band blues (ex big bad voodoo daddy, seatbelts)

[@MaxTovstyiMusic]

I have never heard about them, I think they’re too rare, i mean I knew bands who played doom blues and all that but that’s not really the blues

[@nittacci3194]

Nice, Max.

[@MrCbrann]

While I appreciate the effort and I certainly cannot play as well as you, I didn't think you caught the style differences very well, particularly the particular sound timbre of some of the musicians would have helped. Much of the music was the same tempo and the solos could have been an example of most of those styles (but not all).

[@flyingdart9819]

One question. Are blues and jazz separate or is one a subgenre of the other?

[@MaxTovstyiMusic]

Those are two different genres tho there are many jazz songs that have bluesy feels in it like All Blues - Miles Davis etc by playing I IV V progression and some jazzy feel for blues songs like Stormy Monday etc.

[@flyingdart9819]
