12 Bar Blues for Beginners Guitar - Eric Clapton Style "Before You Accuse Me"

[@tefenstrat]

I am a VERY experienced guitar player. I have to say this lesson simple as it is, is the best of any lessons of this song I have come across. 1st you sing the song while playing the basic chords all the way through the song. This makes it easy to nail down the turn around in this typical-4-5 blues format. So many other on-line teachers do not teach songs like this...Most of them as good as guitar players as they are - do not sing. Keep it up-nice job!!

[@pianolife07]

Andy Crowley, that was so awesome. I liked the way you just combine the moves and expressions towards the song. Great singing!

[@clarel3447]

"Before You Accuse Me" (also known as "Before You Accuse Me (Take a Look at Yourself)" is a song written and recorded by American musician Bo Diddley in 1957. It was released as the B-side to Diddley's "Say Bossman" and was included on his self-titled debut album in 1958. Backing Diddley (vocal and guitar) are Jody Williams (guitar), Willie Dixon (bass), and Frank Kirkland (drums).

[@rickb4806]

Agree! I know these chords well, but now I know how to put them together and be creative with them.

[@DarbyandGill]

[@joelafave3958]

Hi Andy, I seen your answer, on getting a DVD Lesson out pretty soon. My question can you do more Tube Lessons, on the O'l Blues Greats like Johnson,Howlin Wolf, Waters,King? I love the 12 Bar Blues, an all the Riffs, & Licks, etc. An also is there picking substitutes you can use with the pick, instead of the finger picking techniques? I'm a big fan of Robert Johnson, and was wondering if you could do some lessons,on you Tube,an a DVD on him, his songs how to play, an the other great Blues player's I have above? thanks Andy, Joe

[@jaccovanberkel2736]

[@lorraewright3561]

Great lesson, Andy! I'd love to learn the intro as well, do you have a video of it, please? Great work. Geoff

[@lorraewright3561]

An excellent lesson, Andy, could you do a tutorial on the intro, before you start with the chords and singing, please?

[@harrybaier3722]

Thank you Andy - I like it!

[@liavandepas2566]

[@DnosSFS]

Another good video mate. Any chance you could do a video playing jimmy barnes - driving wheels. I just got a guitar mainly to learn that song, and i cant find a video of anyone playing it

[@andycrowley]

Not at the moment, injured my arm and can't play! my buddy Dave is helping me out with some xmas songs atm, maybe in January, remind me!

[@johnblanchard4446]

Awesome

[@dancers10]

I learned a lot from a guy who had never lived the blues!

[@shaunm1983]

You never know tho. Don't judge a book by its cover

[@Dajavoutube]

Hi Andy I'm making progress the riff at 18.05 Esus4 to Em followed by Em hammer-on to E. I'm not quite sure what you're doing with the left hand on the high strings. Do you do an upward strum of the E string? Difficult to see as its not in shot. Many thanks Rick

[@amandataylor3724]

Andy can you please show how to play the intro to this!

[@rickvanroon5981]

great lessons.Do you have lessons on dvd I want to buy some.Because i don't have always internet.

[@andycrowley]

I can't put the song lessons on DVD as I have no license for that yet. I will be putting some DVDs together later in the year though!

[@robertparkin4739]

Awesome lesson thanks. Do I detect a little bit of a Hull accent there??? Rob

[@gerardgarbutt607]

he from Leeds

[@stevendavls2109]

Andy can you teach me the intro walking up the neck at the very beginning of this tutorial? Also s there way I can contact other subscribers in the Charlotte area to see if anyone would be interested in getting together to practice going over your tutorials? This is on my short list of must learn tutorials note for note. I'd like to see if there are other members in the area that would be interested in meeting and improving our guitar playing skills by practicing your video lessons Thanks

[@MrHandyfrank]

I just read a comment that I find to be a hindrance also. The lower part of the fret board is not in the video.

[@chistianvega5711]

Maaaan awesome lesson! The only down side is your choppin off bottom of video. Cant see the fretboard very clearly.

[@andycrowley]

I know - i will refilm at somepoint soon!

[@chrischaney3082]

What's the "traveling up the neck" bit you do at 00:35?

[@realsanjo]

Chris Chaney it's called a "turn". Hope that helps.

[@UnderCultures]

Your teeth are brighter than my future

[@notfried2004]

Pretty nifty. Next time back the camera up a tad so we can see your fret fingers, please.

[@camjcasey]

Dude you look just like Matt Murray from the penguins

[@sueburek3725]

your b7 looks/sounds different than what I learned.

[@darrenwebb2779]

A 2 Middle D 1 Index G 2 Ring B 0 E 2 Little. When cycling around E-A-B7 the chord books show the bass "e" string is not played in A or B7. Andy has his thumb muting the bass "e" string when playing B7.

[@UnderCultures]

Maybe you're forgetting to mute the fat E?

[@linodonofrio4214]

Cazzo come eri giovane qui caro Andy😂

[@louiemurphy9930]

i cant see your guitar :(

[@evansmith5514]

You look like kenny loggins.

[@jimhagler3716]

I can see your face but not the fretboard.
