3 Blues Saraceno Licks From 1995

[@jaybonnell8309]

Awesome lesson! Blues is definitely an underrated player that deserves more attention.

[@tribeshift]

I don't understand why Blues isn't featured more in guitar magazines. He has chops, feel AND taste. Keep up the great work, Dave!

[@alxk78]

Very cool lesson. When " plaid "came out, I showed the song " A lighter shade of plaid "to my teacher at the time and he loved it. I haven't heard to many songs that combine classical with blues. Killer album very catchy licks.

[@patrickkish6662]

I sincerely hope Blues sees this. Great lesson 👍🏼

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

Thank you, David 🙏 I appreciate the lesson and the licks. Blues was all over in guitar magazines in the late 80s. Helluva player, seemingly underappreciated by the masses

[@alfov8]

Hair pick is my absolute favourite guitar album of all times, thank you David!! Love blues Saraceno.

[@arceneaux777]

I had the pleasure of booking the "new" Cream with Blues and the infamous Ginger Baker, at the Omni in Oakland. It was one of my first NON thrash shows ever - and the fans flipped. It did very well, and Blues killed it!

[@jeremydean6320]

Man Blues is one of THE best players out there! He's by far on of my favorites...please keep doing more of his stuff.

[@vincenttomazzolli3940]

Very cool, David. You make it look so easy...hopefully I'll get there. Thanks again! You're the best!

[@paulnoah5]

Dave you rock Blues was and is underrated he's so tasty I learn so much from your lessons

[@greg77hot]

[@tomcox875]

Bookmarked for future practice - thanks Mr. Brew! Right up my three-finger guitarist alley.

[@wulfenii64]

He's really awesome.

[@cravertom]

[@ganazby]

Excellence, as always. Your tone and vibrato are sensational, David.

[@markwalter9218]

Killer licks!! Saraceno is awesome! You sir are as well, thank you!

[@chadfayrobinson7537]

Big fan of Saraceno I have a Ibanez Guitar signed by him thanks for the video!

[@boringoldman]

Wow! You nailed it

[@warmoth68]

Great vid. One of the tastiest and underrated guitarist!

[@GuitarTotality]

While teaching guitar at a local music store in the 90's and 00's, I used a Samick Blues Saraceno model guitar during lessons. It played great - nice contours, neck and sound. I personally owned a Fender Yngwie Strat - however, the music store didn't deal in Fender and they asked if I would use a guitar from their inventory, so I tried the yellow Blues Saracenio model. I used it for years until one of my students purchased it - good times! 🌎✌️🌱🎶

[@nickg5256]

That was an awesome lesson! Blues so much conviction when he solos! Keep it coming David...appreciate you!

[@danfreer7573]

Awesome playing Mr Brewster....that last shuffle lick made me laugh out loud it was soo good!

[@mamatalka2me]

I saw him at a clinic in Colorado Springs in the early 90's. He WOW'd us!

[@scottyvand]

Great lesson. I needed this. Love ya bro.

[@Breakrite]

David, another home run lesson. Those are tasty. Much appreciated.

[@nickjonhagan]

Great lesson,thank you,

[@derenwinn]

Fantastic!!!!!!

[@TheMeJustMe75]

I remember seeing him on Guitar Magazine and seeing the ad for his first album. I didn't know anyone who had heard him play. Finally heard him play just last week.

[@marcuscabral1480]

Amazing!!! Terrific!!!

[@dougstubbs4351]

Hey what up Man hope all is well your way, I've been in South Carolina Myrtle Beach the past few days, I'm a little behind on your the lessons you released the past week. I did check out your old lesson on Toto and Kansas, I also checked out Lukathers solo album from 94, thank you for the recommendation. Can't wait to get home and check this and the cake video out

[@alexmbrenner]

Hells yeah! Blues is awesome.

[@Busyfingers24]

Thanks for this gem Dave, great licks! Always thought of Blues as a fantastic player and a little on the underrated side of the spectrum. Guess what I’m trying to say is I thought he would be a bigger name so to speak. Plaid is a great album! Best Damn Channel Out There🤘

[@kennethharn2893]

Great licks!! I think you were the one who turned me on to his “dark country” stuff. I remember his solo stuff when I was in high school.

[@martymcpeak4748]

Jeez your tone is unreal I love it.

[@bloodreport146]

l met Blues and Jim Marshall on the Marshall Amp stand at the SSEC, Glasgow, Scotland back on 19th September 1992. Both were really nice guys. Being a Scot l loved Blues' plaid guitar 🙂

[@tonyhewitt1345]

Excellent 😃

[@faroukanwary229]

Hi …just discovered your channel today…love your lesson and im a fan of Blues Saraceno’s playing style and tone …you nailed it bruh Please do more lessons related to Blues ( part 2 😅)

[@godawg1023]

Killer lesson….. again!!! I still want a Samick plaid guitar like that!

[@guitarfreak1970]

Great stuff!

[@Nasosdag]

What a wonderful player! I know it has been written and said over and over, but what the hell. Great licks in all three videos, Dave! In the first lick, after Blues hits that C on the 13th fret (B string), I am pretty sure I can hear him bend the G (12th fret, G string), then A (10th fret, B string), F (10th fret, G string), before he lands on the final D. There is a small roll one has to do on the 10th fret, but it is very manageable. And standard in blues. What is not standard is playing such licks with the attitude and conviction Blues has.

[@jimbopickens2850]

This one rocks! Great job

[@billhewlett1214]

Saw him in Boston with jack Bruce incredible guitar player

[@scottperrin9655]

I've always wanted one of his plaid Yamahas

[@ninjaneer1974]

Met Blues in 95 in front of the Whiskey. He was pushing his cabinet on his skateboard and had his gig bag over his shoulder.

[@purplepieman1600]

Awesome

[@russellward4624]

Hairpick is in my top 10 instrumental albums. Hes so good.

[@lifelongfan07]

I grew up around the same time and used to play songs from the first and second albums with a drummer friend. Yeah, BS is one hell of a guitar player!….I never saw that REH video though.

[@stratman9449]

some nice variations of good old blues licks....but as you said....without "conviction" there is NO blues....🙂....i'll add them to my "collection....cheers David

[@henrys.6864]

Michael Schencker is also a three finger player. Those are really cool licks of Blues!

[@frankgreco]

One of my favs too Dave. Thanks for this! I think there's one note difference in that first lick. I hear this: (10) d-a-c g(stretch)-a-f-d

[@MarkAnderson-iv1zt]

That pick rack is always a great attack.

[@redcabriolet89]

Hi Dave, we're you referring to Guitar Madness at the Hemmens Auditorium in Elgin Illinois? 1989 I believe.

[@stevenellis8365]

I think that I was at that same clinic at the Sound Post...

[@stephenchow5161]

greasy is how i would describe blues playing style. easily identifiable sound!

[@VGlover007]

I can dig it Flame 🔥 On

[@machoalexandro]

dude i'm your fan!)

[@MrMariodraiby1]

Have you did frank zappa licks ? 👍🏻🍻

[@davidstremel5358]

Love the Blues’ lessons on this channel! I’m thinking that first lick Is pretty close to the one Warren D did on Lay it Down. Definitely with blues own style of course

[@risingforce2903]

awesome lesson as always! Dave, any tips on how to get close to Saraceno's tone?

[@bingefeller]

Hi David, do you know if the REH Blues Saraceno tape had a tab book with it?

[@robbpaulguitar]

If I could only ever hear one player only play one note, it’s Blues. #1

[@barrydonovan88]

Hi Dave. How's about a breaking chords episode on Michael Lee Firkins? He's got some nice arpeggio ideas. Great content Dave. God bless.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

To play dynamically, one needs to play with a medium pick attack as a baseline. If one is always playing soft, they eliminate much of the impact of playing softer. Likewise if one is always picking hard, they can't accent at all, they can *only* play softer. Always have a base that is somewhere in the middle, then you actually leave room to play dynamically. Because I play a lot prog and metal, I use a 2mm pick so my baseline attack is strong, but I can make it harder or softer with ease.

[@BillLarkinmusic]

Yes i agree with the nuances.. I play classic rock to hard rock with a 1mm. plectrum.

[@waynecanning4122]

2mm? What do you use a half dollar?

[@stevenellis8365]

​@@waynecanning4122I use a 2mm Gravity pick, got to try it out for a while, then all thinner picks seem, well, thin sounding.

[@gillhodges7267]

Dave, big fan of the channel. Would love to see some Lance Lopez. Hard Time is a killer riff!

[@albylizhard]

Great organic tone! What are you using in this video? Thanks

[@BOER1717]

Great vid as always! I was wondering, what Start model is that (and year). Sounds fantastic- looks like you put a JB in too?

[@faroukanwary229]

Quick question…gears rundown for this video please ? 😂

[@tooManywaystoFall]

mR. late night grabbin the G string... 🎵 r0ck0n 🎵

[@stratpuppy]

Amazing amazing amazing lesson …. But on the first lick he’s playing different notes and there aren’t any pull offs

[@RingOfRae]

[@jonasirw1]

Its a bummer that he’s known as the “Poison guitarist”. He’s got more talent in tip of his right fingernail than all poison members combined.

No , I can't bend with my pinky , it's good for nothing .
