[@MrPatFlicker]

Great stuff yet again. Please could you give us a clue how to get that fender tone on a kemper If possible.. Thanks!

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Mrpatflicker, I posted a message to you on patreon, check that one out!

[@traceydevlin7066]

All three solo's were great. I would prefer a more in depth Muddy Waters lesson thanks.😎👍🇦🇺

[@tbobmann229]

great playing!

[@SMart7751]

Guitar Pilgrim - “You don’t need to be a virtuoso in order to be a great player”. My God is that ever true!! Simply pay attention to the feel & emotion that the nuances provide. Sterile shredding got old in the 90s after everyone learned to do it.

[@RC32Smiths01]

The moment I see Pilgrim with a blues video, I gotta focus all my attention on it! Always a pleasure to tune in!

[@rodolfo7413]

pun intended?

[@billgillum8823]

Love the great insight you have of the greats playing styles. Thanks !

[@chrisgrabowski2678]

Cool. People need to hear some Muddy Waters.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Amen to that brother

[@uchihaitachi27]

I can't agree more

[@pks171]

Gotta be the sweetest tone ever

[@michaelmendillo7513]

Hand Clapton his Strat, give him a good ole blues beat, and he can play for decades without repeating a lick !!!! 😜👍💕💕💕

[@Dashcam_Drivers_Switzerland]

You’re so right. Who needs 100 notes in an couple seconds. Blues is no music on the run 😊

[@trevorgwelch7412]

Excellent Lessons !!! My Favourite Is Robin Trower From Winterland Concert in 1975 . Take Care.

[@ayushmanbhalla8737]

The way this man represents guitar wisdom is phenomenal and his teaching very easy to understand I always wait for your guitar lessons......

[@sagebrushcoyote]

I got the privilege of seeing the master himself, Muddy Waters and Eric Clapton performing on the stage at the same time. Muddy started the show, but returned later in the middle of Eric's session, they were just jamming. By the end of the evening Muddy left no doubt in everyone's mind what a great master he was. I will never forget that night. It was all simple innocent blues for the real music lovers who enjoyed the artists not a carnival show with lights like you see these days. The truly great moments in a musicians life.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

That sounds like a brilliant night, I wish I'd could have been there!

[@AbbeyRoadkill1]

I vote for BB King. His style is not easy to pick up or imitate. I'd love to see you break down his playing.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

I am not a guitar player but am a huge fan of guitar. You say so many good things while playing an amazing guitar that I am hooked on your channel. Blues. Play the note you need to play and leave that other noise out of the mix. It's like the sculptor that was asked how to sculpt an elephant out of a block of stone. It's easy. Just chip away everything that doesn't look like an elephant.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

ha, that's brilliant! thanks for that great comment brother!

[@Zombikilla10789]

Worry, worry, worry is one of my favorite bb king songs iv been listening to it nonstop recently! The way he talks to the crowd about half way through is like a preacher, he had such control of a crowd and an amazing powerful voice. Any performer could learn things from listening to bb king. He could pack more emotion into 3 notes that almost anybody

[@ranajeetidutta]

Guitar Pilgrim has made me a Pilgrim of your channel. This is my Guitar Temple which I visit everyday to pay my respects by watching and learning.

[@gonr.2426]

Thats the greatness of blues.....with a few notes it says A LOT.

[@CharlieMcowan]

Not the first of your videos I've seen (too numerous to mention), but definitely one of the best. As someone who learned, with enormous effort, to play the 3 chords required for "Home, Home on the Range" back in 1964 and a lifelong blues lover, thank you. Comes a time you eventually realise you'll never be BB, or Clapton or Broonzy or SRV, but videos like this make me want to get out the Fender Strat that's been gathering dust in the garage for almost 20 years. Thanks.

[@realtimevideomovingrightwa7824]

WHY IN HEAVEN SEND ARE YOU NOT PLAYING AND PRODUCING YOUR OWN MUSIC YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLY INCREDIBLE

[@jimc6249]

You’re a great guitarist. I love your lessons ❤

[@darioxricci]

Clapton is God, Muddy the father and BB is the Holy Spirit..the way he could talk and sing with the guitar is to be reconed..awesome😍

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Haha, well said brother!

[@fivetownsterm]

they were all awesome! thank you. Muddy Waters!

[@eljuanchosf]

Muddy Waters: an amazing, underrated guitar player that should be a must for any musician to listen to and learn from him.

[@unacuentadeyoutube13]

underrated?

[@jameslyons1661]

This is a awesome way to start a Sunday morning 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 happy Sunday

[@Zozzle12]

You did a beautiful job of the BB King solo. That one is the best for me. I need to learn that and if I do I will be in guitar heaven. Patron here I come! Many thanks GP. You are a great player.

[@alexvanroth175]

I dig your lessons. I'm a fairly accomplished player but now i find my self relearning this stuff you're teaching that i forgot about long ago. It's refreshing.

[@wadewelch3798]

Thanks for sharing this...I have been stuck in the pentatonic for a while and I really love the blues licks..slow ones especially. Love your videos 🎸🎸

[@raylynch8419]

Great lesson, great explanations, great discussions, great playing. Thank you, Ray (Australia)

[@jameslyons1661]

Great idea interesting interested in muddy and bb creations 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸💙

[@blues-indianer8667]

It helps to focus on the important things! Well done and thanx a lot!!! Kind regards, Henry

[@Nesreckovic]

All of the three guitarists are so recognisible. When I listen to BB King and Eric Clapton play together I can tell when Clapton and when BB King is playing solo without watching video.

[@andreprovost3329]

I listen to Clapton music for so many years, I dont realy know the other to much but they also very great ...

[@kyotosal]

Alway love BB King. Thank you for this great video.......Sal : )

[@ozboomer_au]

Another great video, thanks! Great to get some folks recognizing that 'less is more' & that being a good soloist is NOT just defined by playing a million notes... but fewer notes, played with DyNamicS amongst the silences, although a different style, is still great playing. I love 'the 3 Kings'... so would have to vote for an extended study of all/any of them...

[@iantanmantanner1255]

Love this! And your comment at the beginning “...playing 200 notes in 5 seconds. Which is ultimately quite meaningless”. Absolutely spot on! Personally, I’d rather hear 5 notes with feeling, than 500 without. The only exception to this, that I will make is Jimi Hendrix’s Red House.

[@EstebanHillcoat]

They sound so beautiful!

[@jimc6687]

Giving away my age here but my girlfriend at the time and her brother and friends got tickets in the late 70s to see Muddy play at the Stanhope House in northern NJ with the hopes that the Stones would show up for Muddy's concert and jam since they too were in town (NYC). No Stones but it didn't matter.....M.W. was fantastic!! Jim C.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

That's awesome!!!

[@theclassicrock8644]

you are awesome.your tutorial is really fabulous.sir thanks a lot for the lesson.

[@deanodeano37]

Love your channel! The world needs more blues guitar songs!

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Amen to that

[@bluescanfly1981]

I remember watching Muddy's concert with a certain Johnny Winter. I'd love to hear your take on John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Albert Collins, Robert Cray and of course Robert Johnson. "Early this morning he knocked up on my door and i said Hello Satan - i believe it's time to go"

[@jimpepper1]

3 of the best, anything by these 3 will get my attention.

[@abellalia8540]

I learn a lot about guitar and music with your videos, thanks!

[@5s4l1p1fcw]

I just watched this video for the 100th + time. But this time I had my headphones on. And you've got your own background music going on. Really smooth BGM! 👍

[@SHERIFF8311]

Grande maestro, the BB king solo, just awesome, man👍😎

[@bob68ag]

Your videos are so entertaining, I love watching them all. I don't even play guitar, but I love almost all types music, especially the blues. Your skills as a guitar player are obvious but your teaching and observational abilities are wonderful. I wish you great success sir.

[@rogerlittreal642]

Thank you for sharing!!.... awesome video!!

[@rebguitar1]

Once again brill vid, cheers. Would love more BB King & Muddy. Keep up the good work & thanks for all your lessons.

[@georgejohnston9157]

All excellent and beautifully presented. I licked the Clapton Solo best.

[@hyo2002]

i learn many guitar tone and playing ways from your explanation. i didn't recognize them before. thank you so much~!

[@frederickthompson8686]

The Pilgrim rocks. Always a worthwhile lesson. Many thanks.

[@berndspath3853]

Your clips make blues transparent, I´m learning a lot from that. Always looked for sth like that! Thank you very, very much!

[@yudipitre5720]

First time I see you awesome lesson. I am a beginner. Thank you. Subscribed

[@rodrigolopes4608]

I like very much these guitarists, BB King because he's blues sound happy, I feel good vibes when I hear I'm playing, Eric Clapton because plays with subtlety, we know what is coming next... But Muddy Waters is my favorite, is an dark blues, aggressive, it cames from the earth, from hell... 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@GuitarPilgrim]

I have to say, Muddy is my personal favorite too! that voice is just the best

[@toulalan641]

Great Work, I´d love to see more Clapton Style Blues lessons

[@ShiranVyasa]

It is so hard to pick among these three great guitarists. They have such distinctive styles. It ls like picking a favourite child. :)

[@nblackmore]

I love them all. Great solos, and great playing on your part too. Love your interpretation and analysis of the songs.

[@nicolasrizet4893]

My vote is for BB King, so great licks. And great videos too, thank you!

[@MethenySco]

Your playing is spot on and your analysis very sharp and informative…This is a terrific guitar channel! (And I happen to play classical guitar, although my early years were spent obsessing over all the great blues players and I still enjoy letting it rip from time to time….)

[@andrewjorissen1221]

Sorry, I’m greedy. I would love to see you do a video on each of these great artists. You do a brilliant job, keep it up. Very inspirational and helpful to those of us still developing our blues chops.

[@70snuttodd95]

Im game for Lessons on all three

[@bebop46]

In America we celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims 400 years ago. I celebrate and give thanks for the Guitar Pilgrim!! Rock On Mate!

[@christopherballard3560]

Love all of your videos. Such a huge help in my playing. Keep coming with the blues greats. I can’t get enough.

[@shirleycatalangorospe142]

I enjoy watching you play full of passion...

[@doctoralpha9689]

Playing fast notes are also the component of blues and that sound great too if you do it perfectly. You cannot say them meaningless. They are powerful and often enhances beautiful fingerpicking.

[@MonkeyZen]

I think you channel is absolutely brilliant!!! Very well done!!!

[@hanshalkes4978]

When you started the BB King solo, I thought you were playing the intro to Fleetwood Mac's I need your love so bad. I guess BB King may have been an inspiration to Peter Green.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

He was without a shadow of a doubt

[@nikotsalis]

Perhaps the opposite as well.

[@satirthabasu6558]

Extremely insightful dude! I couldn't choose between any! Every video had loads of takeaway!

[@rontakabuda4474]

Awesome guitar tutorial clip.

[@AdnanOygen]

We want Buddy Guy , Albert King , Freddie King , Elmore James , Albert Collins , T-Bone Walker , Skip James ... solos

[@berkc06]

And Eric Clapton

[@darren9194]

Kenny Wayne shepherd

[@alonzofineart2428]

Freddie and the Ice Man did so much with tone and also the simple note.

[@darren9194]

@ytub yt Sure that's a good one.

[@dillonhamrick2744]

Your channel is great!! Excellent tone & presentation. Your exuberance is infectious brother. Thank you

[@kevinconville9258]

This guy's enthusiasm is infectious. Great player as well.

[@RobJ1929]

The great BB King! Start with this because you will always move from that and follow it Muddy waters and EC. Everything you do is real good keep it up

[@samuelsuarez6868]

simply.... great ....excelent

[@markh7523]

yeah loved them all but particularly your style of keeping the lesson simple [ not overloading ]......thanks

[@marcambit]

Great video (as usual). My favourite, no doubt, is B.B.King's, but the other two are absolutely brilliant.

[@evananderson8452]

Brilliant. Tastefully Done. Keep up the good work.

[@robertyassine9563]

It's so true. it depends on the phrase, cuz all of them are notes but it depend on how you write it ❤️ I love blues #1 SRV #2 BB king

[@manfredbazarov6417]

The Clapton solo reminds me of Magic Sam too. Great stuff

[@alexandru.onofrei77]

Both Muddy and BB :) Loved all the examples \m/

[@fabinhosiqueira6380]

You're are my favorite!! I really like the way you comment and teach. Tks! You could show how to get the timbre of BB King

[@GuitarPilgrim]

that's a good one, perhaps I should delve into that if I'd do a kick ass video, but I'm not sure yet, lot's of people do seem to want Muddy, which I can also understand

[@raychivers1217]

What Fab said IN SPADES

[@corkleijn4493]

Awesome stuff! More Muddy please! And BB and Eric....

[@hkguitar1984]

Dude, you're great and fresh at your approach and presentation of these licks/riffs and ideas. Great channel and content, thank you.

[@stephenmichalski2643]

Slow and smooth........soulful and expressive......always impressed me more than speed and flash.....unless your bringing SRV into the picture.....as for the query.......I couldn't really pick one over the other two......gets to be like comparing apples to oranges for me.......gotta get my strat lookin like that again......she almost got torched in a house fire......but I saved her.

[@EARL65USA]

Awesome job Thom, bring on Muddy Waters.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Muddy is also my personal favorite!

[@FernandoLopez-dh9un]

Excelente Video como siempre! Saludos from Chile!

[@GuitarPilgrim]

gracias Amigo, greetings from Ireland!!

[@stevelogan1699]

Beautiful playing and all your usual conciseness and helpfulness in the commentary. Thank you. What I’d really like to hear you talk about is the process of learning lead guitar by copying solos. Many great guitarists appear to have learned like this-Hendrix, Page, Clapton, Gary Moore, for instance-and then gradually worked out how to adapt licks and work across the fretboard. Maybe you could take something like Gary Moore’s version of ‘Need Your Love So Bad’ from Blues for Greeny and show what he copied from Pete Green and what you yourself would copy from him. Much as you do in this video actually, but at a bit more length. Would that be possible?

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Good suggestion, i’ll will look into it!

[@stevelogan1699]

Guitar Pilgrim Thank you!

[@markhorton3041]

I really love Muddy Waters’ solo. But the Slowhand one with the acoustic guitar is hard to beat too. I’m undecided 🤷‍♂️ lol . I would love to see you do a Muddy Waters video though!!!

[@GuitarPilgrim]

many people seem to vote for Muddy, perhaps I should do that episode... I will keep a close eye on the comment section the coming week!

[@christianlauwers6201]

Awesome lesson, thank you ! I vote for T-Bone Walker, my personal hero :-)

[@KngsPwn4]

Absolutely, awesome instructional video! Really well organized and accessible. Great job...I subscribed!!!

[@biggstile]

You have a good feel for song nuances, and are good at explaining it. Keep doing your thing!

[@dnstone1127]

Like it when the solo continues down the lower notes during the turn around, as in the BB King track, could you do a lesson on that technique ?

[@GuitarPilgrim]

good suggestion, there is quite a lot to tell about turn arounds in blues

[@thetonys]

Also awesome is the backing track in the beginning !

[@tolgaolmez7843]

Im french and i dont have a very good level in english but i understand everything and i wanna thank you, you give very good advices and you play so good 😄

[@vulgarresponse7080]

Your English is excellent!

[@alesfigue]

hi sorry for my english is not very good

[@JimmyLem]

Thanks - nice video! I enjoyed the BB section - but the whole video was good. Also enjoyed the part at the end emphasizing repetition! Good thing to remember, no matter what the instrument.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Repetition, it works like a charm, indeed!

[@JimmyLem]

@@GuitarPilgrim It's amazing how abstract or dissonant one can get if they repeat something. Thanks for your vids. Always enjoyable!

[@Foxxie55]

Love it, love it.... Great job...

[@aptelbruno8316]

Beautiful ! Thanks a lot.

[@cello_melow]

Great selection of solos and brilliant approach to teaching them and the musical principles behind them. Would love to hear more about the theory (the chords, the target notes). Thanks for the quality content.

[@tomnix1941]

Great videos with so much expression both on the guitar and in person..from a new subscriber !

[@petersmulders8413]

Heerlijk dit! Ik ga voor Clapton, any day of the week. Zijn werk op "the pros and cons of hitchiking" van Roger Waters vind ik weergaloos.. Groet, Peter

[@westleysvideos7551]

Love it 🎸😎👍🎧🎼🔥💯🎸😎👍🎧🎼🔥💯

[@brocluno01]

Well done. They are all good examples. The trick is to not get too fast, or too busy :)

[@stefano-tq8ns]

Good morning guitar pilgrim, I think bb king and muddy were both great guitarists, but the second one was also a fantastic songwriter and I'd like to see a video about him jusy like the ones you made about hendrix or richards. The second reason why I'd prefer a video about him was his slide guitar tecnique...awesome. Thank you and good luck from an italian blues fan!!

[@GuitarPilgrim]

I agree, stefano, Muddy was a brilliant songwriter and by far had the best voice! greetings from Ireland!

[@stefano-tq8ns]

@@GuitarPilgrim wow, are you from ireland?! I'd really like to know your folk music but I mean from the roots, as I'm doing with the blues with artists like robert johson and big bill broonzy Are there some artists you can suggest me? The only one I listen to is an italian band who plays some irish folk songs, called MODENA CITY RAMBLERS(they are brilliant songwriters and also perfomers, playing many different acostic instruments)

[@genegoof7449]

Three excellent examples!!

I am loving this channel. Thank you!!!
