How to Play Acoustic Blues Guitar Part 1 - Playing Lead and Rhythm Together

[@ButtesLOL]

As a jazz piano teacher trying to pick up guitar on the side, I really appreciate your structured approach. I'd love to see the next few steps in being able to stretch out on the delta style.

[@painlessremovals4447]

Probably the clearest most concise explanation of basic blues finger style I've come across. You've certainly given me some ammunition to practise with. Thanks for your great instruction. A natural teacher you are Jamie!

[@Brokout]

This is exactly what I needed! Your method of teaching is just so methodical, logical and solid, you help build a foundation that can then be elaborated upon, love it!

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thank you!

[@itsmattgregory]

Great job. Thanks for keeping the blues alive

[@bsritter]

Thank you! I've checked out a bunch of acoustic blues vids and this is the first one that gave me something relatively simple I can practice rather than trying to throw me into the deep end right from the get go.

[@randolfjones1024]

Great lesson straight forward and easy to follow

[@larrybaker7880]

Hey Jamie! Thank you for the beginners blues lesson! This lesson was a great start to playing acoustic blues for me!

[@bobschueler4342]

Thanks Jamie. As others have mentioned, that way you start at the beginner's level is perfect. I don't feel there's too much talk as one commenter contends -- you're simply explaining the concepts. A solid understanding is important to proper performance implementation and confidence. Looking forward to viewing your other YT vids but as far as acoustic blues - keep 'em coming!

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thanks man, part 2 is coming soon!

[@victormonterocordero]

just discovered your channel. very good lessons, so much passion in your style and an amazing way to explain yourself with the guitar.

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thanks Bert, lots more lessons planned!

[@jonhaslam9225]

One of the best lessons I've ever come across. Thank you for giving your time up to show us this sir.

[@weedrunkglasgowman]

Good clear teaching

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Cheers

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thank you!

[@johnnytwoeggs5440]

Hi Jamie, love your guitar blues video. For once someone seems laid-back and listening to you is like listening to a mate in his bedroom showing guitar lessons. Don't listen to the odd negative comments, these are from viewers who cant play like you and in a big hurry, rock on..ooppps..blues on.

[@jamieholroydguitar]

No problem!

[@shiatsuarnhem]

Nice thanks!

[@tommyedge2111]

i like you talking j you make your points well my mate carry on lad cheers

[@jamieholroydguitar]

No worries

[@jamieholroydguitar]

That was the idea! Cheers

[@turcko63]

thanks for the lesson! from italiy ciao

[@BarryHawk]

what guitar are you playing?

[@AlbinacersGaming]

thanks you were helpful

[@junka22]

great! I'll dig into this later when I bring my acoustic guitar back from our allotment garden:)

[@jamieholroydguitar]

'59 Gibson ES-125

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thank you! The guitar is a fat body 59-ES-125 with only one pickup.

[@realdiamondshow]

What is a "plectruN?"

[@neilgroves1690]

My thumb wants to keep speeding up....keeping that slow thump going is more difficult than it looks.

[@eugenedullaghan732]

yes thanks I always forget what i am supposed to be doing after i come home from a lesson

[@neilgroves1690]

skip to 4:20 to avoid the sleep inducing lip flapping......interesting lesson after that.

[@63arturio]

Play fond talk

[@paulbyer5279]

lesson begins 4 minutes in

[@andrewstone7323]

Talk talk talk

[@AndrewHealeysingerguitarist]

Jesus, get on with it!

[@MrAlex2452]

Friend! If you spoke less, and would play more and showed as to play, would be more popular. How to us in Russia to filter your speech?

[@lordrockingham9175]

Too much talk? Listen & you might learn something.

[@Teilzeitberlinerin1]

more playing less talking please

[@moin127]

Laber, laber.....

[@woozee100]

You are good mate, but you talk too much!!

[@vinialves5977]

over 4 minute of talking, man, before starting the thing...

[@jigsatienza6719]

too much talk

[@rons250]

Lost interest after 1 minutes yapping.

[@santiagolopez6365]

You talk too much !!!

[@w.smalls2117]

Good clear teaching

[@jamieholroydguitar]

No worries
