So glad I came across your videos, they are the best explained tutorials I've seen. From Australia 🇦🇺 thanks mate

[@tick7146]

Blue, I have watched most of your videos. You are an excellent guitar instructor...you really put the pieces of the puzzle together. I live in Vancouver - hopefully, one day we will cross paths.

[@markwichrowski9462]

Wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your lessons.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

[@gregsterc5294]

I see these techniques in other videos, but no one explains it. Thank you so much for giving a great explanation!

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thanks for the great feedback Gregster!

[@Jubice2307]

I’ve learned more in the past week since finding your channel than I have in the last year. Just ordered both books. Excellent teaching style. Keep it coming. Thanks

awesome lesson😀

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thanks! 😃

[@blueeyephil]

I agree! This can make a huge difference. I've been playing for awhile and have kind of been doing some of this. But you expanded beyond what I was already doing. Enjoying your videos. Much success to you.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Great thanks again 😊

[@Rick1198s]

Expanding the concept … expanding my mind as to what is possible 😊

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thank you Claudio!

[@vomito72]

Great video! one of the most useful I've ever seen , it's funny that almost nobody on KZbin teaches the most used technique that is what almost the greatest guitarists have in common the 3 fingers as well for rock music is mostly the easier even if not the " correct one" I would say the guitar teaching and KZbin teaching needs people easy like you, it's like teaching for children and you can't be difficult with them , the effect in your way is enormous and quick to me after years spent practicing and playing in bands but also loosing time to understand what I want and I can do thank you very much

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thank you for the great comment. I really appreciate that. More lessons coming every Saturday (almost)

[@NDFlyFisher]

Not sure why I started getting your videos but really glad I did. Your lessons are super clear and easy to understand. They have really helped me make sense of the fret board.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Great, thanks Rick!!

Hey brother.. I cant wait for your playing with backing track.. Successful my bro

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thanks recent videos I've been using backing tracks.

[@blueghostryder2210]

Hey Blue, we have the same name...sort of. Unfortunately for me we dont have the same skill level on guitar. But the way you explain the fretboard is like I've finally found someone who speaks english. Could be because I'm Canadian too. You make it so logical, like some de-mystifying guitar guru. I literally lol when i follow your exercises and finally understand whats coming out of my hands. Its like I cant unlearn what you've shown me so far. You are a talented musician and educator and I can't thank you enough.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Wonderful thank you! Lots more lessons videos on the channel and more coming in the New Year.

You lessons has been helpful, I want the books to buy I want the software version do have it?

Thanks Matthee! The books are available on Amazon, in paperback and on the Kindle. www.bluemorris.com/shop

[@delcapslock100]

These are so good I almost feel like you’re breaking some covenant of guitar secrets 😅. Also I think you just deconstructed the first line of the Stairway to Heaven solo!

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thanks Alex and good point the trick is definitely in the first lick of the Stairway solo.

[@chezy57chesham76]

Enjoy your lessons. I'm an older learner and working on my scales. I didn't understand you explaining up a fourth. What was the fourth. I understand rollover. Hope its not to dumb of a question. Thanks.

[@johncary4302]

Say you're playing the d string, 7th fret. Playing up a fourth would be hopping up to the g string 7th fret as the next note. That transition is playing up a fourth. Since all of the strings on the guitar, save the b string, are tuned in fourths with respect to the string next to them, all you have to do in order to play a fourth is stay on the same fret but just jump from string to string. Hope that helps.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

You got it John! Another way to think of it is simple math: If A is 1, then D is 4. But it's easier to just think "up a string."

[@chezy57chesham76]

@@johncary4302 Yes it does. Thanks John

I keep hearing this as a major thing - like if you played it over a g chord - instant Allman Brothers!

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Definitely can be used in major. I love the Allman Brothers for sure

I hear Peter Frampton's Do You Feel Like We Do in this one.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Cool I'll have another listen to that one

[@MrReStories]

I think Eric Johnson has been mining this technique for years :-)

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

For sure!

[@Karnakb9]

so you are calling the blue note the minor third not the flat5

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

In MAJOR pentatonic the blue note is a minor 3rd 👍

[@themagdude]

Isn’t Easy Shape called #1, and “the one just before that”… #5?

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Yes they have numbers 1 to 5, but as I teach then I use Nicknames which helps students to visualize them. That way they learn them faster and it's easier to communicate. Too many times I would say shape 4 or whatever and just see a blank stare in the student's face haha.

[@tomheineman4369]

It was the hardest thing that I ever had to learn. harder than playing the open position chords and changing chords with the beat. Harder than connecting the pentatonic patterns. harder than playing a scale run across the whole neck and across all the strings in multiple methods.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

That's hard indeed! Thanks for watching

[@Msteve-nt5bx]

And as we wind on down the road...

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Yeah good example.

[@lesternielson9280]

Joe Bonamassa plays a very similar lick

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Probably does....and a lot of people 😀

[@Turboy65]

Simply practicing more is what makes the biggest difference. No practice, no progress.

Very true 👍 and practice focusing on new ideas 💡

a new sticker ? what are they, what do they mean? just curious.

They don't mean anything. They are from a Mexican restaurant that I like here.
