[@Tolbiny]

Your lessons are great Jamie. I really appreciate how you freely share your talent and knowledge.

[@jamescopeland5358]

You do a great job Jamie, your lessons are always worthy to watch. I always learn something new

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thanks James!

[@Civilian2.0]

Simple, yet highly effective - As all the best licks are! Cheers, you've got a new subscriber.

[@aerostoon]

Great tone and very nice licks!

[@brtmont]

Great licks Jamie, You are good at making things simple enough to be understood. Please keep these lessons coming

[@theyoungupstarts1243]

That bend is definitely a cool Blues thing to do!

[@javelin1835]

Excellent. Thanks for sharing these two licks.

[@paultwiselton1996]

Have just found you Jamie. I too am an old beginner (yep it's taken me 60 years to start to learn...) and I'm so going to try this out. Have subscribed to watch, listen and learn. Thanks man.

[@jamieholroydguitar]

+Paul Twiselton Thank you for subscribing. It's never too late to learn - my oldest student is 75!

[@tenodogblu]

+Paul Twiselton Hi Paul, I'm in the same boat mate! I've been playing for about 9mths and have found Jamie's lessons to be just great. Check out Marty Schwartz and Brian at Active Melody. These guys are great too. Happy playing, Dr Paul UK.

[@Neverlost3234]

I am 64 you and starting!

[@KBorham]

Wow, its an epidemic - learnin to play the blues after bumming around on the guitar for 37 years. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheBella501]

Amazing licks by my favorite guitarists

[@MikeMiller-ol9zz]

Well done, Jamie. It seems that learning specific licks opens the door to creating one's own licks. Keep 'em coming, friend!

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thanks Mike!

[@גאניניסים]

your playing is awesome, very helpful, thank you very much

[@chrisshepherd9940]

Excellent! thanks for posting these great lessons

[@surfzion]

Awesome licks, great lesson !!!

[@simmo2303]

Love your playing and lessons. Thanks, from an old player in Australia.

[@dougaltube2]

I really enjoy your lessons - very relaxed, well-paced, informative and results-oriented. Much appreciated! I will be pinching your licks for sure. From a blues and rock player in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Cheers!

[@ScoothofWrathchild]

I can't really pinpoint why but I learn more easily from you than other youtubers.

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Hey one cool thing you can do to learn the note names is set a metronome at a slow (at first) tempo then try and find the same note on each different string. There's only 12 notes so it wouldnt take you more than a couple of weeks :)

[@lairbag99]

Good Job Jaimie, that BB lick's a classic one. On the SRV lick, I prefer to bend the minor seventh into the tonic, but still sounds great the way you did it. Cheers from Mexico

[@brobdj]

Thanks, Jamie - very nice licks

[@kindnick58]

Great lesson, it's not always what you play but how you play it, great feel!

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Glad you liked it, thanks for stopping by!

[@joshmulheron7382]

a note before the first proper bar is called an anacrusis if you're wanting the music term :)

[@gtv105]

Great to hear the notes/theory, rather than strings and frets.....makes it easier to shift keys, and memorize.....Nice work

[@rockybon11]

I believe this is BB's lick in Blue Boys Tune... Thanks for the lesson !!!

[@svetlanadimkovik3484]

There are a few things for blues jam tracks: Use done for you tracks templates. Practise in front of a few people and ask for their opinions. (I read about these and more from Makale jam plan site )

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thanks for checking out the lick. I'll see what I can do about adjusting the levels, cheers.

[@downhill240]

Excellent lesson!

[@CornwallguitarlessonsCoUk]

Great playing jamie, loved the video, and that guitar sounds great as well :)

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thanks Bert! More on the way soon.

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thank you, those chords are C6 and F9. I have a seperate video on my channel explaining them.

[@pakethdr]

Great lesson. What are the three chords that you play at the beginning?

[@jamieholroydguitar]

No probs, thanks for checking it out

[@Shmolts]

Thanks a lot mate. Great lesson.

[@josh3rno]

[@jasondesjardins7371]

Really liked this. Subscribed!

[@jessemajor520]

Nice clear instructions, thank you:)

[@diyvince59]

Explained very good!

[@thomasgraben123]

thanks Jamie, good stuff.

[@arthurmee]

Jamie, it's great to see a young man like you with so much knowledge of and blues playing ability. If you keep it up you'll be a living legend by the time you're 30 or before. Just a note on the video: when you make more videos see if you can get your voice miked up a bit better and levels closer to your guitar level, would be my suggestion. Otherwise excellent stuff, keep it up.

[@dhighbrdge9696]

great licks!

[@kevinnailor7090]

Very good,nice and easy

[@JakeKarecki]

Thanks bud! some fun licks :D

[@blockman1377]

Great lesson. What is is the model of you tele ?

[@FragWorld]

Great lessons

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thanks man. I used a mambo amp for this video.

[@lightfoot413]

thank you Jamie

[@juddaustin399]

Hey jamie, I'm noticing your vibrato is pretty uneven. BB kings signature was his huge vibrato, same as SRV. just a point to note when coping the feel of these riffs, the "accent" won't sound right if you don't get the "inflection" (vibrato) right.

[@GarrettGrimm]

Thanks, great licks!

[@jamieholroydguitar]

No problem, glad you enjoyed them!

[@drutgat2]

Thank you, Jamie.

[@julianwilsonutube]

Nice stuff Jamie. The SRV one really set my playing alight. I've come far enough to just keep picking licks up and adding them to my playing - Its a lot better experience than trying to rationalise everything with scales - and it's never a waste of time either. Respect mate! Jules

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Hey, that guitar is a 23 year old partsocaster with SD alnico pro ii pickups. I am still waiting for the endorsement deal from Fender...

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@kareembassem6925]

you're amazing i love your lessons, thanks cheif.

[@SpeckledFeathers]

Hey man, I was just wondering how you learnt all about which note is where on the fret board, like instead of looking at the 12th fret on the G string and just knowing it as 'the 12th fret', you can look at it and think 'oh that's the F# note' and what chords are played with it etc... I love playing guitar, I just wish I could learn that side of it. Thanks alot :)

[@martinevans7771]

great lick thanks

[@paddling_out]

I'm very new to blues, trying to get the chord progressions down. I know it's usually based around I-IV-V and I can play along with the basic 12-bar blues, but you seem to be playing more than just the C, the F and the G.. At 1:20 from what I can tell it looks something like: C7 - F#9 - F9 .. is that what you are playing there? Walking down from I to IV? What other chords do you throw in (outside of I-IV-V) when going from I to V for example or during the turnaround? Loving your tone btw.. I rarely hear a Tele sound so fat.

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thanks, and well spotted! Yep I walk down to the IV chord. Check out my other (new) video called How to Play a Jazz Blues that explains all these 'optional' changes you can throw in!

[@evh7884]

loved it man!

[@neilgroves1260]

excellent lesson, nice and slow and I can follow it lol

[@setsonfiretv2935]

Hey Jamie, I've been playing for over 20 years, don't know how long you have but you've got a beautiful tone and smooth way of playing, a proper blues man, well done, your coin the brothers proud man. What amp and pedals are you using during the vid, and what year is the tele please my friend?

[@YanksSatrianiJaws]

Hello...nice lesson, but I have a question: is that the "position 1" of the pentatonic scale? If so, isn't that 2nd note of the phrase not in the scale itself? Can you explain/elaborate? thanks

[@gonzaperez16]

Thanks, for this. Nice tone by the way, which kind of amp is that???

[@ipeckham]

very cool! thanks

[@TheBeastNmy]

Hey Jamie, I basically 2nd what Twiselton below commented 5 months ago. Was looking for basic blues and found this vid. You have a relaxed natural style I really appreciate. Thank you. Have you posted anything on tone? I subscribed and will look around. Again, thanks. All the best.

[@dblhlr]

damn man… i wish you lived nearby….thanks for the licks..!!!

[@jamieholroydguitar]

No problem! I teach students in different countries on Skype.

[@zacharytaylor5154]
