Who the hell are the two people who marked this video "dislike." Justin provides this great instruction free, has great video and close-ups, and excellent explanations. What is there to dislike??? Keep up the great work, Justin!

[@royrhodes]

My kid brother,Kenny,..has just bought another guitar !. Being a bit of a rocker,..he'll love Justin's 12 - bar blues chord techniques . ROCK ON..,KEN ! ! !

[@randalmcintyre7750]

That little stones tip about staying on the 6th string was gold! Thanks

[@OrbisonTributeArtist]

The irony of the ad coming on telling us you can't learn guitar from KZbin videos...YES YOU CAN!

[@skimanization]

Hey Justin, thanks for your youtube lessons. You are a brilliant teacher, nobody ever taught me a guitar so easily. Thanks, again.

[@TheKeef98]

"They call me the Breeze" sounds pretty cool with alternate picking.

[@alexcarr9422]

Thank you so much for these videos, I cant afford lessons and so this is amazing

[@DridgeDEU]

Watching this in HD this morning - made my day!

[@scomor695]

Thank you Justin! You really explained this lesson well and have "unlocked" some of the mystery of playing the Blues!

[@ynyslochtyn]

Justin's lessons are so informative yet down to earth - great stuff

[@sirpsycho94]

Justin can you please please please do a lesson on the Red Hot Chili Peppers B-side "Bob"? to anyone reading this who hasn't heard please go listen to it, i think the guitar is beautiful.

[@paulojungmann]

Excellent lesson as always!

[@bobollie]

normal, great Justin until the up-string. the it becomes awesome - again! you really are rather good my friend. thank you and keep em coming

[@AirGuitarHero71]

Alternate picking is smoother... reminds me... Beach Boys... "....I wish they all could be California, I wish they all could be California, I wish they all could be California girls......" ^_^

[@sparkstudio93]

These are awesome videos!!!! thanks Justin, i will definitely be putting this stuff in my next album!!! God Bless and Keep rockin! :-)

[@bigteno4597]

Great teacher, lovely man

[@vamprix2]

justin -the angelic face best guitar teacher!!!XD

[@easyguitarguy]

Very helpful info on palm muting. Thanks Justin!!!

[@erdogan330]

thank you so much for this video.

[@nice1centurion]

Justin can you please do a video on how make a simple song? Something like the i-iv-v way. It would help a lot of people who took your blues course :)

[@MrAndrea2127]

Than you Justin! Cheers from Italy!

[@stevev1989]

Justin is da bomb

[@richardrichard5409]

Great video, thanks 😎

[@stipsazg]

You are the legend!

[@Zilegil]

In a lot of interviews a whole bunch of great guitarists (Lemmy and Dan Auerback) have said upstrokes are more percussive, they are better for upbeat dance music

[@1991gerte]

Justin, I learned a lot from your blues lesson, thanks for your help!

[@Tommyr]

GREAT lesson Justin! LOVE this kind of stuff but it kills my wrist! LOL! Thanks a pantload!

[@raithrover1976]

@smp156 I forked out for an American Standard Tele a couple of years ago. Great guitar. Love it!

[@bigmusicfanatic919]

thank you Justin

[@jillybabesno1]

Cool lesson I like how u chopped and changed where u played that, like dwn at the 12th was a cool touch. Great lesson.

[@richardrichard5409]

Yup, nice touch, made me realise thats a useful use of a barre chord😎

[@Tommyr]

@riciy A Fender Made In Mexico model, basically the same as the American version with a few changes. Still a great guitar!

[@BecaSchmitt]

I love when he says "chunka" its soooo smooth XP Nice class again Justin. Cheerz :D

[@erikch1]

just awesome!!!!!!!!!

[@ecvdiejen]

Thanks for this lesson! :))

[@CHR128]

Well, this is the second lesson in the blues series from his website, go over and check the first lesson where he shows you all the fingerstuff

[@Ignore14]

Jazz iii are the best!

[@TheArminrock]

any single thing u play sounds perfectly, i guess it will sound perfectly even if ur guitar is not tuned// damn i want to play like that :(

[@loveguitars]

Excellent

[@MrAckeh]

thanks mate

[@richardrichard5409]

Interesting titbit about the roots all on low E😎

[@StevePhillips]

You been scribbling on your right hand as well now Justin, when you going do another gig? We had such a good time at the last one Bush Hall.

[@rcon2025]

i love fender...........................

[@Bigfatphoggy]

That upstroke style is to emphasise the bottom note being played.

[@Ignore14]

@davidguit1 dunlop jazz iii, try them out they are my favorite picks.

[@BrandonCourage]

@lovelostlover It's a circuit diagram of a classic amp I think :)

[@kingdavidhoward]

Thanks, can this riff be played differently without the pinky on another part of the neck

[@NewEnglandDirtRoadie]

every time i hear a telecaster, i want one more and more

[@MrDomguitar]

thx great

[@Tommyr]

@smp156 Get a MIM model. I have a 2006 Tele and LOVE IT!

[@martinevans7771]

good video

[@ltee12658]

Is that a Dunlop Jazz III you're using? I just discovered how great they sound and how precise can you play with them

[@craigbuchan]

hey justin whats your favourite guitar

[@nickv1212]

Koyuki from Mongolian Chop Squad has that same telecaster.

[@bads333d]

“takes a bit of practice, like everything else”

[@johanndaart7326]

Your backing track for this lesson is played straight right? Chuck Berry sound was his straight 12 bar, clashing with backing band's 12 bar shuffle ;)

[@quo4ever1]

You are also moving on to the STATUS QUO type of music :-)

[@kiddbora]

Hello! In the last part (where Justin plays the strumming-like alternate picking version), he mutes the middle triplet so it would sound like chunka chunka. I can play this style with muted middle note when I'm strumming down only but find it very hard when my strumming hand goes up side. Any suggestions for muting?

[@rauth666]

Dunlop Jazz III Picks\,,/

[@GloryIan]

@davidguit1 Looks like a jazz III.

[@DavePastor]

Hi Justin!! What pick u use????

[@craigbuchan]

@TheMercful nice choice ;-D

[@fabiopunk1661]

Justin, around 7:00 when you strum faster, there is something in between chord switch. What is it? thanks

[@youngalistairyou]

little finger ? cant figure which one your using?

[@kimberlymaxwell-allen1989]

What's that bluffs shuffle u played between , 7:48-7:50

[@aev1990]

did not really get how he mutes higher strings in strumming - is it first finger?

[@Blastie]

Yes. He mentions that in the previous video lesson. [BL-201]

[@GermaeAnne]

Do you mind me asking what's that written on your inner forearm? I can't help obsessing over what it says all throughout the video. Sorry.

[@kimberlymaxwell-allen1989]

Right at 7:39-7:40 what blues shuffle is that please I been looking snd don't know what it's called

[@ryanbrown5473]

It's just a typical blues shuffle, if you look at blues shuffles it should pop up somewhere!

[@hrabia]

i have a question HOW TO NOT LOOSE MY PICKS !?

[@exhesham]

ur sofa is custom shop?

[@Braglemaster123]

Mary Palm

[@caiocoutinho3997]

WHAT IS THE CHORDS? I'M NOT SEE!

[@riciy]

@Tommyr whats MIM?

[@SUPREMEdiver33]

Please Justin :( rock please :)

[@HeyZeus096]

that or pen on his arm.

[@The_Cat666]

why can't I get this right?!

[@venni82]

he twittered, i came!

[@nice1centurion]

@hrabia99332 always keep them in ur guitar case, lying around your room, in ur mouth and in your wallet. I always have picks close by or in my wallet or in my mouth. They're dirt cheap so it doesn't matter if you're always buying more

[@MasterOfManyMuffins]

@craigbuchan For a split second i thought the comment was a rip on Justin Bieber

[@BrandonCourage]
