Well that made my day! Thanks and rock on!! 🔥🎸🔥🎸🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻🎸

[@karlsmith3281]

Mixing the major and minor is a big door opener. Doing it tastefully is a lifetime gig, thats where these arpeggios keep the door open. Cheers from County Devon, England.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Cheers to you - thanks for taking time to comment!! Love hearing from England!! 🎸🔥🎶🔥🎸

[@uberjam-sam8512]

This lesson was a real eye (ear) opener 🤯 I've spent a decent amount of time studying arpeggios but have felt stuck on how to make music with them. 😊 🙏🏻 🎸

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Well that’s awesome to hear!!! Rock on and thanks for letting me know!! 🎸🎶🔥

[@takayukinagasaka6212]

I'm a Japanese beginner guitarist. This lesson gave me a nice idea to put tonality in Blues licks. Thank you very much.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Thank you for watching and taking time to comment! 🎸🔥🎶🔥🎸

[@martynspooner5822]

The stuff you come out with never ceases to amaze me. It is simply brilliant and something I would never twig myself in a million years. Thanks again.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Thanks man!!

[@MikeyBakerMusic]

Absolutely killer. Thank You!

[@micha0634]

This is a door opener for me! Thank you very much. Since many years I try to work on blues scales. To follow the obvious consequently brings unexpected results. Thank you so very much. I'll have to work on this and see what happens.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

So cool!! Wishing you the best with your playing! 🎸🎶🔥

[@wrtyioo]

I'm not a blues guy, but the way you show how to mix it up, looks so good. Just added a hour more to the instrument pr. day😄

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

LOL I’m not REALLY a blues guy either which is why I’m trying to hotrod it a bit. Thanks for watching and commenting!! 🎸🎶🔥

[@Dcba964]

Sir, this lesson is by far the best i have ever seen about using arpeggios in the blues . You actually hit every note of mixolydian without playing the boring and predictable linear scale Arpeggios are such a fantastic tool. Next step is using this concept in the minor blues 🙂 I subscribe. Great teacher ! ❤🙏🎸

[@CAGED1702]

One of the best explained Blues lessons ever! Once you know your four arpeggios in the three keys you will sound like you always wanted to. And it's not Rocket Science! Thank you, Charlie Long!

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Biggest unresolved question after this is the chicken and waffles. Buffalo wings and blue cheese dip maybe. But I like food analogies, so, nice one!

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Hey, was that a photo of you on stage at BB's?

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Yeah man!! Used to play there all the time!

[@jeffro.]

Charlie, ya lost me, early on! lol I'm all for jazzin' up some Blues, but you're makin it complicated! Too much thinkin' involved. Still, I'll try to hang on and see it through with ya. At around 5:00 it would've been helpful if you had a solid A7 chord playing to play those other chords over. Ok, i got to the end. Yeah, it sounds great. But see, i don't have that problem that it seems so many have, where my "solos all sound the same," or sound like crap. That's cuz what i do is make up riffs, melodies and arpeggios that sound good. But, i just don't worry about "where they come from." I do know a lot of theory, but sometimes i just like playing, not analyzing. I guess it's good to know this stuff, but for me, it's just... too much thankin'. 🤪 👍 👌

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

[@stogies3]

I can understand the blues and guitar,chocolate and peanut butter going together, but fried chicken and waffles? that is like playing outside,way outside,

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

LOLOLOL - that’s awesome. Sometimes we gotta push boundaries brother 😂
