Happy to see you are actively working on new blues lessons and your website, usually 3-5am when I'm watchin' 'em 😀. Just getting back to playing after 20 years, focusing on the blues, and you are a recent discovery. Your lessons are the best on the internet! You teach just what I need to learn and sound great doing it. I'm learning fast and having fun! Thanks!!

[@gtsipejr]

Have to agree with Mom, Joe.

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

😆

[@jamesmcc6190]

I really like your videos. My only gripe is that I wish you'd talk in bars. E for a bar. A for a bar. E for two bars....etc. would make it much easier for beginners like me.

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

It’s important to leave something for you to do !

[@kindlylight]

Where do I find your fantastic backing track, love this lesson thank you

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

On my patreon Chris, if Clapton is your thing there is also lots of exclusive content www.patreon.com/joesguitarlessons

[@user-dq6mn1ce6v]

Grate, but the most interesting thing here is the pentatonic or scale he use. Is it e major pentatonic or what?

[@petegalloway2466]

Hey Joe, nice wee tune. Hopefully you’ll be putting it on Patreon for the tabs 🙏🏻😎

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

It’s been on patreon for ages Pete, there are mo3 for this over there, no tabs as it’s all explained in quite a bit of detail.

[@petegalloway2466]

@@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons cheers Joe. I’ll go take a look. Think I’ve sussed it out from this though ✌🏻🙏🏻😎 cheers 🍻

[@PabloRodriguez-jn2gn]

Hi Joe. what guitar brand are you playing? Regards Pablo.

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

It’s a Martin 00028 Pablo

[@briancatterall2070]

that guitar is really opening up Joe....

[@kaushikshankar6051]

the traditional 12 bar blues will have more bars of the E right ? Is this some variation ?

[@jadecleveland865]

Yes 4 bars

[@robertforgaci9427]

4 bars of the E 2 bars of A 2 bars of E and last 4 bars are what its called the "five chord" plus the turn around
