30 Beginner Blues Licks

[@Leemz100]

This is easily one of the best beginner blues licks lessons I've seen on KZbin. Great job with the demonstration and explanation.

[@olimon63]

I agree. And one important thing: Licks are being played with guitars that beginners use to own, instead of teaching to beginners with those custom shop expensive guitars... Furthermore, another lesson is learnt: You dont need a special guitar model for playing blues.

[@yossiewardhana4771]

I agree to. It was great.

[@rolbertmeyant6835]

Ok

[@pixelatedparcel]

Seriously, can a lesson get any better than this? 30 easy licks in 6 minutes? Pure gold! Thanks, man.

[@Paul-eh9zm]

I like this, no party pieces, no straining facial expressions, no "listen to how good I am" Just straight in with the lessons. Well done to you Sir!

[@Rossmelanson]

Priceless

[@Paul-eh9zm]

@@Rossmelanson My apologies Sir, I will have to stay off the brandy when I am looking for chords.

[@gmcguitar]

Cheers guys & girls - we're really glad you dig this one. It would be interesting to hear from beginners to know if we're in the ballpark with this lesson!

[@subfoursterful]

Love this video, im a beginner and would love to know where to find the backing track cheers

[@kartman74usa]

Very interesting how every single guitar sounds from the chepest one to the expensives, I was amaze for the sound of the Ibanez.

[@timclark275]

This is by far the best lesson I've seen on here I've been a novice player for some time. The style of music seemed impossible to play until I came across this video thank you so much for making this the #1blues lesson.

[@shivrajkarkera9905]

Guys, You can use The Big Show's entrance theme as backing track for these licks

[@anonymous-nt4sy]

dude what the fuck. have to test this shit out.

[@agyu69agyu]

Best video ever for a beginner to learn how to combine licks and to explore them.They can combine lick 1-3 with lick 11-13 or with 28-30 fpr exampla,or the others in many combination as they like.

[@thesanerone]

I seriously added this to my playlist just to listen to the first 6min!! Amazing!

[@cactusrecordings510]

Press F for respect F

[@4me4u4uspm]

Exactly what I needed at the stage I’m at with learning some tasty licks, the layout is so easy to follow with the demo, breakdown with tab etc

[@frederickthompson8686]

Easily one of the best intro blues lessons I've seen. Well presented!

[@hilton275msg]

I love the way the tab is nice and big and in front of house not an after thought , it makes it easy to follow what you are doing and just concentrate on the technical aspects of timing and phrasing not what strings to play.

[@shannonhondo260]

The fact that you do a video with a Squier just earned my Sub

[@redmed10]

Excellent lessons. Nothing was missed. Good choice of riffs. Well graphically explained as well as finger positions being shown exactly. Don't have to watch the videos many times just to work out what's going on. Good appreciation of beginners mindset when so much information needs to be taken in. Great explanations and tips as he's going along without overloading with too much information. Attention to detail is fantastic. All beginner videos should use this video as a template.

[@gmcguitar]

Thansk so much for the great words 🙏

[@Timshowtomake]

best real beginner lesson on YT .... so easy to follow thanks dude

[@jeraldgonsalves4765]

Man, this is something I've wanted so much, to simply push me into phrasing. Thanks a ton.

[@davidjohnson-fo7ze]

You couldn't have said it better i have been paying for online lessons for months and just the first lick he showed us had me playing 10 times better in less than 10 min than i ever have.

[@lnxguit]

Absolutely excellent presentation! I'll share this with some of my students

[@alguien328]

This video is just what I was looking for a long time ago, thanks you so much!

[@viniciusribeiro7279]

Oh, hello Claude

[@deborahgilday532]

Exceedingly awesome lesson that helped me so much. It's al about phrasing and how to use the licks, not about an isloated lick. Thank You!!!!!

[@bkmeahan]

shows that you can play any style on any guitar

[@LfunkeyA]

@MindFull it doesn't mean you shouldn't

[@bkmeahan]

@MindFull sure you should.

[@SUPRCNL]

This is just blues though, its not exactly “any style” its just that almost all guitarists use blues

[@davecarsley8773]

Nah. If anything, it just shows that ALL rock guitarists are playing the blues -- whether they know it or not

[@phumeoli]

See, this is how it is done. Show how to apply them licks at least in a backing track(I IV V). I've been ever looking for someone who teaches this way. Teaching by itself is a gift. "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough" - Albert Einstein

[@noprob250]

Was looking for a thick blues licks a long time, this is by far the tastiest licks!

[@emoshurchak]

I really like the way each lick establishes a motif and then develops it. Very nice video for beginners.

[@limalawalling7873]

Sir, thank you very much for your help with this lessons, I'm starting to learn guitar.

[@Jr-sw8wj]

I might have to refrain from watching any other KZbin guitar teachers on principle; this is so good.

[@AllenHo64]

This is definitely the best beginner lesson on KZbin I've seen so far!!! Good job!!

[@ryanmcdonald2027]

Thank you very much for showing me this ! am going to use these licks for my 12 bar blues 50’s and 60’s and 70’s songs and rock n roll songs ! :)

[@artjacoby3481]

30 beginner blues licks on a silver platter - thank you Chris!

[@raylynch8419]

Hi, I think you might have put up this video some years ago, judging by the dates on some of the comments, however I just discovered it. I would like to add my thanks to all the others - this is an amazing lesson and those licks are just perfect for someone like me - an intermediate player, at best! 😄. I really appreciate the amount of time and work you've put into this tutorial. I notice some change of clothes, so you obviously had to spread it over a number of sessions. Very much appreciated. Ray (Australia) 🙂

[@gmcguitar]

Cheers Ray, awesome to gear you dig it 👊❤️

[@aixpert291]

Awesome. I love that you did all the licks first. Soooo much better this way.

[@bombercountyblues]

If this was a guitar shootout..I'd definitely go with the sg

[@eserenson]

Love SGs and Les Paul's, but I'm definitely a Strat man

[@hugososa4139]

Gracias! Gracias! Mi estimado compañero y querido Profr.

[@geraldguellec3270]

c'est génial, je recherchais ces plans blues, votre explications et très claires , je m'abonne , merci

[@alain_sans_c]

Time for a new start for my guitar and me. I'm starting from scratch again, trying to reinforce the basis, this will be the video I'll use first. Thank you very much.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Man. I really needed this. I'm still a bit Rusty with guitar. Never my main instrument. But strongly becoming a major pickup now. I'm all about writing music lately over last several years. Played percussion drumkit mainly 27 plus years. Since I had to stop due to family and apmt I took up keys. Then again recently guitar. My atmo music needed some direction and blues ambient color. I bought a strat and I've been practicing up as often as possible. Also created a gear guitar addiction. But anyway seeing this will SURELY help. I'm not sure if I'm a beginner but I am surely going to get alot out of it for leads. I need licks. I love it. I'll mix this with my lessons to build up my playing style. Thank you.

[@jshorton4284]

You are a very good teacher. Thank you!!

[@gmcguitar]

[@ronladd6289]

Yes we gotta make sure it fits the screen 😁 cheers Jay, let us know how practicing is working for you 👊

[@TheProletariat.]

Super cool! Huge inspiration. Absolutely a wealth to work at to get ya sounding like the blues you're trying to play! Totally a foundation of many licks and and in a nice progression long enough to see and hear how their put into action!

[@gmcguitar]

Thanks a ton!

[@jgmusic1710]

This is an awesome video, can you do the same format but with different genres

[@davecarsley8773]

Blues *_is_* ALL genres. Do you like rock and roll? classic rock? Soul? Hardcore? Jazz? R&B? Grunge? Metal? Prog? Rockabilly? Alternative? Americana? Emo? Bluegrass? New Wave? Thrash? Punk? Gospel? Hard Rock? Arena? Indie? Funk? Country? Folk? Pop? Etc.??? *ALL* based on blues!

[@lesleymoddleton2287]

Brilliant Slow and concise . Sooooo easy to follow.

[@JambalayaDrKelso]

Super nice lesson, took me a few tries to play them alright. Hopefully at some point I will be able to add some variations to these licks or get a feelig for creating my own ones. I'd love to freestyle over some blues songs.

[@merv3408]

Just loving this tutorial, now a registered user I downloaded the backing track and install the track on my RC30 Boss looper so when the time is right and I'm able to play some of the licks along with the backing track. Thanks Chris
