Hey friends, thanks so much for watching and for your continued support. Over the next few weeks, I'll be a little less active, as my wife Natalia and I welcome our baby girl into the world. I'll do my best to keep the resources coming both here and via the Patreon page. For printable tabs and guitar pro for today's lesson, click here: www.patreon.com/posts/53678360

Thank you for the video, Rob. Congratulations and best of luck with your baby girl. Take you time and have a great time with your family!

[@richardgardner8975]

Congrats on the new addition! Family first - always!

[@boomerdell]

Fantastic lesson, as always, Rob -- just watched it on your Patreon, which is such a great resource for me -- and sending you and Natalia all the best as you embark on the most miraculous journey imaginable.

[@charlie1872]

Congratulations.

[@erikxs]

The very best to you and your little family. BTW, the next few 100 sleepless nights will be busy for you 😉, but itś worth it!

[@LockedInTheZoo]

Best teacher I have found on youtube, and I've been trying to play guitar for 30 years!

[@seannachaidh9999]

I agree.

[@tomsky61]

At 60 years old and playing for 2 years watching so many guitarists, I have finally found my teacher. Had a heart attack 4 months a go and learning guitar is my Holy Grail. You are so concise and don't rush your lessons. Thank you and big love to your new baby and your lives together. Much love you awesome dude.

[@crasherxtreme]

60 years old and been playing 2 years. Rock the F on! Play until you're a 100. I hope you live forever. Bless you!

[@otmanblues4138]

70 years young, I had my third stroke in February. Lost part of my peripheral vision, so a bit restricted to home. Decided to take up guitar. Just had a light bulb 💡moment with this lesson. I love the A position 👍. Adopting this as my default Minor Pentatonic position.

[@brubeker12]

78 still learning this guy is good

[@jorgemiro7056]

For teaching, few people are as thorough as you are. Excellent teacher

[@tonywhyte2523]

Agreed !

[@annarakannan6620]

Great lesson. I enjoy your lessons very much. I love the fact that you are not just teaching random licks. When you teach the solo as a whole, you not only learn the licks but also learn how to apply them at the same time. Extremely effective teaching style.

[@ukestudio3002]

Been playing guitar 60 yrs..classical, jazz, country, bossa nova, fingerstyle; hundreds of instrumentals . Have to admit - never learned this. Good lesson. Thanks !

[@koreanguitar]

Thanks for all the guitar help. Im sure in 15 years I'll be watching your kids tutorials on KZbin. Wishing you and your new family all the best.

[@billynorris1501]

Congratulations on having a baby 👶. Play guitar constantly for your little one, before and after they come on to the world. The music has such a beautiful affect on the development and how you're child will look at and hear the world. Music is so amazing and thank you for creating such wonderful content!

[@chesterburnett3466]

Another great lesson. Your patient, repetitive method of teaching is just what I need. Thanks.

[@jamesgriego1089]

Ive learned so much from your tutorial that my kids are amazed, its hard to impress them untill my blues kick in, i like playing minor cords. Its hard to make majors in some cards, military injuries but i played guitar in the 60's but i got injured in the military, never could play like i used to until you came along in my life so thanks, you are just so good its scary

[@dontshootimfri3ndly853]

You have taught me so many cool guitar parts that have improved my playing. Thanks man.

[@swiftlessons]

Hey thanks, that is so good to hear. Keep up the great practice and I'll keep the videos coming. Have fun. -Rob

[@samueltidswell]

Great tuition Rob thank you very much. I could never quite work out how to play the blues properly, this has given me a great foundation! I hope you're doing well.

[@notstolen4708]

Excellent video and best of luck to you and your wife with your newborn baby. God Bless your family

[@christianlaue1510]

Love that lesson. Thanks so much. As an advanced older beginner player, I will dive into it . Never realized how much I love the blues until I started my guitar journey. Keep up the great work, Rob. I wish you and your wife nothing but clear horizons for you and your upcoming young family.

[@onewheelisbetterthan2]

Oh man I love this.....i am super addicted to that traditional southern blues sound. I am very new to playing and I appreciate how you break everything down plus adding the music that you are playing to the screen. I can't begin to tell you how valuable this is to my learning. Thank you so much for posting. You are really making this fun for me my dude.

[@richardthomas4001]

Rob, im sure good things come your way, by the way you share and care. Congratulations on having your first baby, stay calm and enjoy it. Your on the support team! Its going to be great, Dad

[@duketinntinn8498]

Excellent teacher. I lost one of your lessons that I was determined to finish and I didn't even know your name so had to search through different guitar teachers to find you again. Glad that I did

[@imannonymous7707]

That furch has beautiful harmonic content....when you break it in its gonna sing .. really nice ax man

[@philippelastours7860]

Hey this is a Furch? Wow ! I am very impressed by its sound!

[@tybell1994]

Dude,... I`ve been desperately searching for something to make me WANT to play again, I LOVE this SRV feel blues and I can feel it. I want to pick up my guitar again!!!! I`m throwing all this stuff I know from muscle memory into and over this exercise. Breaking out of stagnant routines and finding somewhere else to go with it all. This lesson and your other acoustic SRV lesson has been a HUGE rut buster for me. I love you. (nothing gay or anything) I truly love you for opening this door for me. Keep it coming. I`m hooked. Rock on! and Thank you sooooo much!

[@lefty5595]

Another great lesson! Thanks for all of your help and congratulations on the new addition to the family.

[@nyoflacovers851]

Your first soloing remembers me Before You Accuse Me solo from Eric Clapton's Unplugged version. Great job Rob!

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks so much. Yes, that unplugged album really had a huge effect on my playing as I was cutting my teeth. The last lick over A7 is taken directly from a clapton track, I believe it was his version of Sweet Home Chicago.

Good job on the tutorial as always, it’s its clear to see that you have put in many years of practice. There is no practice tutorial for raising a child it’s a path you must find on your own. Everyone has advice some good some bad, you have been blessed with someone that doesn’t hate the only thing a child is born with is love. ,
