This was much more useful than I thought it would be. Been playing guitar more than 40 years but I’m still always learning.

[@GuitarME]

Brilliant mate! Glad you enjoyed 🤘

[@Lowdenjim]

I think it's always helpful to beginner guitarists to show them the chord shapes that lead lines can be based in. For example, the slide up to the Em using a Dm shape moved up to the 3rd fret, and an Am slid up a couple of frets.

First rate tuition Tony! Not only do you teach in a straightforward manner but your delivery is spot on. Thank you and consider yourself subscribed to! Best regards from the Giant’s Causeway coast of Northern Ireland. 😄✌️🎸☘️

[@GuitarME]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing! Best regards from across the pond, and I look forward to sharing more with you on your musical journey. Keep strumming and stay inspired! 🎸🎶

[@jamesdilts277]

I've been doing this in a way for months now, but you put it in a way better context, I really appreciate it man, this really helps expand on what I've been trying to do with out even realizing it, thank you sir.

[@GuitarME]

You're very welcome! It's my pleasure. Keep up the great work and thanks for watching! :)

[@mattnorgrove6872]

Helping me break out of the dull scale practice, thanks man ❤

[@GuitarME]

Happy to help, man! Keep practicing! 😃🎸

[@leamanc]

No need to practice scales for more than a couple minutes a day. Start finding some riffs with those notes. Practicing should be about making music.

[@terrybarnett4109]

30 + years of playing and this video has really unlocked something for me...thank you! x

[@GuitarME]

That's incredible to hear! Thank you for watching! :D

[@Bavodekat]

​@@GuitarMEi agree..same for me actually opened up the guitar for me ! best lesson ever!!..❤❤❤

[@ScorpIron58]

That was blimmin great mate, so clear and easy to follow...perfect pace with the info and demo. Wow, thanks !👍✌

[@GuitarME]

Thanks, mate! Glad the pace worked well for you. 😃

[@HigherPlanes]

Beautiful lesson. There's something magical about E minor blues scale and strumming along with those open chords. I think it's where guitar really shines

[@GuitarME]

It's like unlocking a door to a world of expression and emotion on the guitar. Thanks for watching and am really glad you loved it! :)

[@HigherPlanes]

@@GuitarME Yes! I just found your channel so I need to catch up. Thank you, mate!

[@jeffliddy5453]

Thanks, Tony! Make the dancing journey a lot more accessible. Breaking things up small lessons like this is very helpful.

[@GuitarME]

My pleasure! Thanks a lot for the support! :)

[@johnhurlburt5179]

Great lesson. I know you’re playing a Martin, but what series is that?

[@ron.v]

This is so priceless. You're a good player. I enjoyed listening. What fascinates me most is that I, and many other young white kids in the American southeast, were listening to and playing these same blues licks back in the 1950s and early '60s. In the early '50s when we first heard artists like Elvis Presley, we thought, "Hey, this sounds a lot like the black man's blues." I later learned that Sam Phillips, who discovered Elvis, also discovered Howlin' Wolf. The problem then was no other white teens in the U.S. were listening to black blues artists except we kids in the southeast (AKA deep south). We didn't know why not. Suddenly in the '60s, the British invasion introduced bands from the U.K. who appreciated blues. Artists like Eric Clapton were teaching my fellow Americans the music I had grown up loving. People in Europe were praising legendary black blues artists: John Lee Hooker, Sonny Boy Williamson, and so on, as they toured outside the U.S. I met John Lee Hooker at a lounge in Birmingham, Alabama one night and asked him what he thought of Animals lead singer, Eric Burdon. He said, "Oh, Eric? He's my man!" Hahaha. At the annual Blues Competition in Memphis, Tennessee 20+ years ago, I saw artists from Japan to Scotland performing. I was glad even though blues had taken decades to catch on. Thank you for this video showing that blues is still popular over there. Keep the blues alive my friend and teach the younger generations.

[@GuitarME]

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences, my friend! Also, thank you for watching! Let's indeed keep the blues alive! :)

[@alcro38]

40 odd, got a guitar from a mate, searched many tutorials on KZbin, YOU are the best teacher! Many thanks from a fellow Scot! I’m still shite but I’m trying 😂

[@GuitarME]

Ah, cheers, mate! That means a lot, especially coming from a fellow Scot! Keep at it, you’re not shite, you’re just getting started. Every great player was there once! 😂🎸

[@davidking5765]

Thanks for that - I am going to give this a try.

[@GuitarME]

My pleasure! Enjoy my friend!

[@22degrees53]

Best guitar tutorials on KZbin. Great knowledge and easy to follow along. I've found I start with your principles and start something of my own. Very helpful advice cheers Tony

[@GuitarME]

Aw thanks man! That’s what it’s all about my friend. Take the concept and run with it :)

[@22degrees53]

@GuitarME Yer man, I've played with alot of different people from all over the world when I was backpacking. I picked up different bits and pieces but never really understood how it fits together until I looked into the basics on the piano. Its been the same as trying to learn off my good mates who are computer nerds everything computers. The info is always in a code, and the important parts skimmed over to hide the real knowledge they keep for themselves to feel special. But you have got the format of teaching nailed down, short enough to watch and practise daily and more than enough information and explanations to help expand on your own sounds and ideas. Extremely well done, and I've told everybody who wants to learn the guitar to watch and subscribe. 👍

[@GuitarME]

@22degrees53 honestly made my day mate haha, thanks for taking the time to write that. Makes all the difference man. Just glad I can be of use in some way haha

[@Abenjohar22]

Great lesson please keep them coming with other scales as well

[@GuitarME]

Will do, thanks for watching! :)

You’re in a different room, looks good! Also, your audio problem has been resolved, sounds comes from both sides now. Good lesson Tony, keep em coming.

I’m travelling in Poland right now so change of scenery. I figured the audio thing out too 😂 thanks for watching my friend

Learned the basics and intermediate stuff online from ,let's just call him Justin, and coasted a bit since. Your pearls of wisdom are great to play around with, cheers.

Thanks for your nice words. :)

Best teacher i have ever seen.....thank you for giving such a clear and thural enlightement in only 10 minutes. Thank you Sir

[@GuitarME]

Aw, thank you so much! I really appreciate your support!!

[@phile.1381]

Nice lesson Tony. I've always used my two middle fingers for the open Em chord. They fit better, and it puts your hand in a better central position for changing to other chords. Just a suggestion. Try it sometime.

[@GuitarME]

I use both :) this way Incan use my other fingers to get the b and e string. There is method to the madness :)

[@phile.1381]

@@GuitarME Ah yes, to sneak in that open Em7 chord sometimes. 🙂

[@bsaj1]

Don't limit your Fingering... It depends what other chords are needed eg variations of Em can use B and top E string additions see James Taylor's playing.

[@thinkinggingerbeard2556]

I appreciate that "once we get that under our fingers" saying.

[@codewarrior5229]

You had me at refs and leks!

[@soundssimple1]

Nice lesson Tony . Took me straight back to Paul Rogers - Muddy Waters Blues. Cheers

Very helpful, thanks. Practical, immediately usable and fun too. Some feeeback: sounds like your mic is optimised for the guitar, but maybe try your voice audio through a dedicated mic?

[@GuitarME]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you found my lessons helpful and enjoyable. 😃

[@charlesarmstrong5292]

Thanks heapsTony. I am a singer but play guitar for fun and a bit of off stage popular song accompaniment. This is really useful to me.

[@marcosofsky2605]

Nice! Thanks for keeping it simple! Longtime harmonica player, I have always loved the guitar but found it so hard to learn. I am an older guy, I believe I am just scratching the surface, I haven't given up, and I must make time to practice to acquire the"muscle memory" in my hands. Thanks again, Tony! I know I must practice, fighting off fatigue is my biggest challenge.

[@GuitarME]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you found the lesson helpful. It's fantastic that you're not giving up on learning guitar, despite the challenges. Just keep at it, and remember to take breaks when you need to. Consistent practice will definitely pay off in the long run. Keep strumming, my friend! and best of luck on your guitar journey!

Em to me is always "Love, love will tear us apart, again..."

[@bill29-g3b]

My fingers are so fat I've had to adapt my own chords. Especially on electrics. Em I use my middle fingertip. That's all! Am I use two fingers. My middle covers two strings and my index holds down one. And that finger is moved up behind my middle so the open strings are clean. Like for an A7 I have to use the very tips of my ring finger and pinky because they're the skinniest to keep the open strings clear. Etc. It works. It works well.

[@GuitarME]

Wow, it sounds like you've got your own special technique going on! Pretty clever. Thanks for sharing, mate! Keep on strumming! 😀
