3 PRO practice techniques I wish I knew before I started playing blues

[@thomaslong8401]

Been doing this everyday for 10 days now. Began with the metronome 2 days ago. I can already tell a big difference in my timing and just overall playing it more smoothly. Great exercise.

Fantastic, keep up the good work!

@@timdaleybluesguitar101 Update. I've been playing this for a month now, everyday for 2-4 minutes. I'm up to 140 bpm now. No mistakes. I've noticed that my right hand is getting more relaxed. Sounds much more smooth.

Thanks Tim love your easy to understand lessons

Thanks Brad, very much appreciated!

[@guitarjym]

This was very helpful as I often learn only to forget & struggle with hiw to incorporate stolen licks/solos without doing a oaint by numbers.

[@timdaleybluesguitar101]

Really glad it helped!

[@paulfoytack5267]

Thanks Tim! Excellent and timely for me. I know this logically but tend to move on to the next thing before I really have a part down. MMM will help me remember.

Great stuff, glad it was helpful!

The three 'M's' - I like that! But what you are saying is so true. Reminds me of what Tommy Emmanuel kept saying about how he got so good on acoustic guitar - discipline and your three 'M's'. Enjoyed the video and your presentation manner - I'm subscribed. 👍😃

[@timdaleybluesguitar101]

Thanks so much! Not suprised Tommy took a similar approach. You have to! Glad you liked the 3 Ms and cheers for the sub!

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

[@timdaleybluesguitar101]

Probably cause that's all they do!

[@theeeediotr]

True.

Solid video

Cool lick!! It sounds like a passing lick to me. So where would you use it?

[@timdaleybluesguitar101]

Good question. It's in the key of A. It fit's perfectly across Am (as it's actually a mix of A dorian and A melodic minor - very bebop). But you could also play it over A7 which creates a kind of A bebop dominant sound (it works there because you can mix minor and major over a major blues - but you are kind of shoe horning it in there, it's not really it's natural environment!) But it works better over the D7 chord, Because it's A melodic minor which is the same as D Lydian dominant. So if you play it over the D7 chord exactly in the position I played it you get D lydian dominant, which is very cool! I've got a whole bunch of those sorts of licks I play. I love them!

We need some sound like Neal Schon licks.🎸

[@timdaleybluesguitar101]

I'll have a listen to him!

[@cmdrlt.evildead5328]

exactly lol this is how i do it also.

[@timdaleybluesguitar101]

Of course!

[@DavidStanleymusic]

if everyoine is doing it;s best steer away from it

[@timdaleybluesguitar101]

Think you've misunderstood what I was saying. Doing this won't necessarily make you sound like everyone else. It will just mean you improve at the fastest rate possible. Therefore it's a great thing to do!
