How To Play Blues Guitar - Part 3 - Its Time To Sing & Scream

I hope this video is ok and makes sense.
Part 4 will be out at the end of May. :)

[@runjogwalk]

This is one of the best blues guitar instructional videos ever

[@podolskyy_andriy]

Yes, I'm agree with you

[@tr3f]

still going through your older videos. good gravy, your playing ages like fine wine! you are fantastic Mr. Dave, thank you!

[@marklewis5145]

Fucking yes Dave!!!!! Keep em coming mate, your an inspiration mate mate and you alone make me want to play and be better swing the old axe. Cheers man!!

[@frankkaiser2354]

Even though my mother tongue is German, I am always enthusiastic about your videos. Your passion is probably the key that conveys all this in an understandable way. You are a great guitarist and teacher. Thank you for all the effort you put into bringing the blues, funk and rock to us. A warm greeting from Germany

[@nicks1134]

That absolutely gorgeous guitar is making start to like strats...

[@fecklessrogue3725]

I'm finding these lessons very fruitful. The pacing is good and the licks are staying with me and I'm breaking them out elswhere, even in other genres, best results I've gotten other than from face to face lessons.

[@flinner5258]

absolutely loving this blues series, learning a lot, thanks so much Dave

[@colinbrough1847]

Brilliant mate, your teaching is excellent, very clear & I'm drawn in by every bit of it. You've got nothing at all to worry about. Really enjoyed it all parts start to finish.

[@hotrod7695]

This has been a great deal of help and I really appreciate your insite to play the Blues THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@stevemitchell5389]

So glad I discovered you! Your humor is a plus.

[@blackmirror5559]

. LOVED THIS ❤ SUPERB LESSON Remember DAVE: we can pause/rewind all by ourselves and practice ad infinitum. You don't have to be perfect all the time. .

[@anthonylawton7978]

Dave, this series on How to play Blues is up with the best content i’ve seen on the tube. Your teaching methods work that well for me I feel I’ve learned how I best learn new guitar riffs/techniques. I usually watch all the way through a few times over a week or so without my guitar. I then watch and pause / rewind while playing along with you. I’m on the third video atm and over the last couple of days I’ve got to the bit where I can remember it and can now try and make it sound good. Thanks for this and all the other great content. It’s really appreciated. Good Gravy!

[@nightwishlover8913]

Jeez! That was some intro! Really enjoyed that lesson! Thanks.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Good evening to you Dave. Great video here. I absolutely love bends. That's my life now. Hahah

[@Born2RiffRock]

All 3 have been great. Keep bringing us material

[@LazerSparks]

Brill Dave, but you've got to stop posting stuff minutes before I'm due to go out. I'm late for everything!! LOL

[@kalelkeegan5698]

Pro trick : you can watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies recently.

[@jerichooscar3386]

@Kalel Keegan definitely, I've been using flixzone for years myself :)

[@gannonben2554]

@Kalel Keegan definitely, been using flixzone for months myself :D

[@bluesbishop]

Just exceptional...today very Clapton, Gary Moore and even Gilmouresque at different moments. Hoping that one day your name is as legendary as your idols! Cheers!

[@christopherburnett1745]

Yeah, I kept hearing Gilmour in many of the bends in both parts 2 and 3.

[@Stewartchampion]

There's KZbin guitar teaching videos ...and then there is dave Simpson..he just loves giving all the secrets away....gotta love the guy ..still tho we gotta be able to pull it off....i learn so much from this guy

[@MrStevo3210]

Absolutely brilliant I'm hooked on your tutorials, please do more there a great help 😊

[@chaosin73]

'I think I made a mistake'. No such thing when you play the blues. Would be a great name for a blues song. Really enjoying this series of videos. Thanks.

[@mojo6778]

Dave, your lessons are very useful, and I am enjoying them immensely! Blues rule!

[@richardcarle786]

Ahhh he brought out that lovely guitar again finally. Love that thing. Such a gorgeous guitar!

[@stephenlawton2392]

Dave I cannot stop salivating over that guitar 🤘

[@jordanpriest3629]

Awesome video Dave. Love seeing you nice and happy much love from New Mexico.

[@5150show]

Absolutely brilliant thank you 🙏

[@Blues-man.]

Another great easy to understand lesson, you are a really good guitar teacher, thank you Dave.

[@stevehornshaw4478]

Luv it as always Dave. Just magnificent ❤

[@joejitsumusic]

my biggest take away from this lesson: "submit to it." thanks as always Dave!

[@JojoLeRoiDuDisco]

That guitar is fking gorgeous

[@derekjohnson5720]

Ye ha, loving this mini blues series. Used parts 1 and 2 to write a song, part 3 will be used for the mega outro on my bridge pup. Will do a wee vid for you Dave once its done!!

[@bytemoose657]

Just a nice bluesy way to get in to the weekend. This gets you reaching for the 6 string. Nice one Mr D :)

[@keanuuuu]

Great lesson Dave, over 88k subscribers now. You had 40k when I started watching your videos a couple of years back, that’s pretty amazing. Let’s get you to 100k 😁

[@derekrickard3883]

Great video Mr Dave - that Oswald has some great tones! Have a good gravy weekend buddy 👍🎸

[@bennigh82]

Thanks man great lesson and it's that great t shirt again. Rimmer rocks !!

[@russell90ful]

Dave I love this series what amp settings would you recommend be great if future videos show a quick overview of settings for amp pedals roll on end of May for the next video stay safe

[@neilgordon7507]

[@brianekholm8461]

[@Tcrunk365]

You shouldn’t be nervous. You are doing an amazing job with this lesson.

[@podolskyy_andriy]

I was really looking forward to the video. Thanks. Tomorrow I will study the third part. In fact, I still haven't learned to play the second part very well. I will study everything together.

[@quentinnorris9645]

It's my birthday. Now it's a great day. (:

[@thedavesimpson]

Happy birthday. :)

[@jwren51]

Loves this series of lessons. You help us not blessed with your talent make some noise that sounds like music. Thanks Dave.

[@ozozerene]

Thank you again for these pearls of wisdom. These riffs are like gold dust. More of these please Mr Dave.

[@luciano0593]

Thanks for everything you do Dave, not only you teach us guitar but also give us a cure for the everyday struggle. Cant't wait for next episode of this blues series, it's been improving my improv skills like no vid on youtube did before! So grateful that you do what you do.

[@garycrouse1918]

Dave ty man so much for this ...up pick .... u da man ... man I watched then re watched your guitar tips are awesome and to point

[@Nils_Martin]

My all time favorite guitarist, 'Gary Moore.' Needles to say 'Phil Lynott' is the all time favorite bassist 😎✌️

[@philliphamer6416]

Suuppppeeerrrrrrrb as always! Inspirational.

[@MustafaBaabad]

Thanks you very much for the lesson. It is very good and you are an excellent teacher. Students will be progressing very far with your encouragement and guidance. Remember, the good teacher is the one who can bring his students to be much better than he does. And you are that kind of teacher. Thanks Dave. Cheers from Indonesia.

[@CaanDo01]

👍Great stuff once again. This is a great series. Thanks!

[@400_billion_suns]

Thanks Dave!!! You're a legend, and a *seriously great* teacher!

[@alexandrebier4581]

I know there's still 6 days, but.. looking forward to part 4, Dave! I've been playing these 3 parts and adding a 4th of my own kinda Peter Green-y. I wonder what you'll bring to us. (and if part 4 is the last one, please continue this as a spin-off series.. )

[@toastnotoflondon8500]

Loving these. Dave. 👍

[@captainhowdy7847]

Thanks for this, Dave. Those breaths and instruction about the 21st feet have been an eye opener. I've always noodled below fret 17 previously, but now I'm extending my play into those tinier gaps where the squealy notes live. You make me play better, and I'm very grateful.

[@captainhowdy7847]

Erm, fret not feet. Damn autocorrect.

[@theresewalters1696]

I LOVE your take on blues! Listening again and again.

[@Blues-man.]

So quit cutting yourself down! You helped me tons.

[@johnmcdonagh1607]

Great, Dave , thanks pal 👍.

[@Joseph-so6td]

Your Blues lessons are the best!. Thanks for continuing this tutorial.

[@frankhemphill9904]

great stuff Dave and thanks for taking the time to teach us you tubers THE BLUES and you're tone sounds great no even in teaching

[@bluessumlin...7067]

[@JRoss-zxzx]

Start through an Orange amp. Excellent! And thaito Mr. Dave, I bought one :D

[@swiftyswift833]

[@christopherburnett1745]

These vids are just brilliant! I'll have fun working on them and post a vid of my own of what I come up with out of it. Thanks, Dave!

[@majorpentatonic2310]

Your blues playing is fantastic, so much emotion, just wonderful👏👍

[@simondbarnes]

Hmm, think this may be beyond my mediocre ability 🤣 Will keep practicing lessons 1 & 2 for now but will give this a go at some point!

[@gussywellz9714]

killer riffs. dave'''.....cheers!!!

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you very much indeed. :)

[@johnparsons4941]

Wow you look so much younger !!!! Great vid

[@DEAD_-ek9fx]

my swamp ash all rosewood neck fender got jealous of me watching this........🔥

[@trevormatthews6005]

Hi dave love the format of the lessons I know you wasn't happy with the video but the unedited video with phone going off the odd mistake and general chat makes it feel like I have gone round to a mate who is a better guitar player to learn a few licks and ideas and I think that's what makes it stick in my head unlike some of the polished I'm the teacher your the student video's I've watched I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this keep doing what you're doing

[@davidwiese9866]

Your videos are all much better than ok Dave!

[@handsoff6753]

This is just excellent.

[@andreyd3815]

Отличный уроки!!! Спасибо. Гитара очень понравилась. Какие звукосниматели стоят?

[@thomasgeddes8730]

Dave you have inspired me to learn more and get back into electric thank you I've now purchased a strat an a FGN tele both feel like mine already, jist need to learn what it is im doing 😜 🎸

[@Sparedda_72]

thankyou again Dave

[@thesoundpurist]

The beauty of single coils they can take a s*** ton of gain and sound amazing...

[@ronnie5129]

Dave, thanks for this video, Gary Moore was my hero, Rock on, Cousin Figel

[@brettandlaos5792]

I want more of that intro Dave, sounds fantastic.

[@sirvicemanone]

Guitar Hero for real. Wtg Dave🙏💞

[@secretdaisy6484]

That lesson was a total success ‼️🎸 Stop 🛑 worrying. Unfortunately it will take me months or years for me to learn 😬. Once again I was staring at your guitar. Is it made of mahogany? The wood grain is spectacular. Is the fretboard a really really dark rosewood or is it ebony which plays like heaven? The reason for my questions is I’m a Stratocaster freak and your Oswald has blown my mind. I think I’m going to save and get one mostly like yours. I want the Seymour Duncan Hendrix reproduction pickups and different control knobs. And the rest of it like yours. It just looks so darn kewl. And it sounds amazing. Thanks for your lessons. 👍☮️🌞🌟🎸🎵❤️ PS: just turn your phone or the ringer off. I do it all the time. 😎

[@thedavesimpson]

The bodies ash and the necks all rosewood. :)

[@secretdaisy6484]

@@thedavesimpson Thanks. It is really stunningly beautiful. ✅🎸❤️‍🔥

[@jamescarey3995]

If there were any mistakes, the guitar caught them- because I didn't notice! Great series, awesome techniques and fun little things to try

[@TimHoustonSB]

Awesome thank you!🎸

[@foxtoneofficial6454]

No doubt you got the tones Dave ! Where is that epic beard you had ? Good stuff 👍

[@megamortalfpv1039]

Thanks for this dave

[@ddugan64]

Great Lesson

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you. :)

[@davidsillars3181]

Have no doubt about your teaching! Fret not! Excellent lesson.

[@ClassicRoy111]

Yes!!!!

[@clintonwhiston4330]

Great guitar work love it have U tried the Seymour Duncan quarter pounder in the bridge the rock

[@andriypodolskyy]

Thank you, Dave. I see will be the 4th part too.

[@swiftyswift833]

In the bridge!

[@williamniemi3545]

Perfect.....

[@koldc9502]

Hey dave great intro as always!! When do you think youll be doing a livestream? Looking forward to it! Greetings

[@podolskyy_andriy]

Dave, you looks much younger now

[@PaulCooksStuff]

Omg, I'm having a hard time keeping up with the Dave beard length continuity timeline. 😉

[@jltrem]

Me too.

[@adrian_V99]

Dave, you are putting bricks and mortar teachers out of business!

[@chilidogswithcheese1424]

Haven’t started this series yet but it’s on my list. Stuck on the “Crazy Wah Tricks” video. God that guitar is beautiful. Is it nitro, will it wear?

[@rzvncj]

Dave, sorry to be off-topic but I'm thinking about refretting one of my Strats and seem to remember you mentioning somewhere that at least one of your favourite guitars has had quite a few refrets in a few years, to the point where the neck is visibly thinner. Just wondering, have you considered refretting with stainless? I've got an acoustic refretted with stainless frets and they feel good, appear to be almost indestructible, and I can't detect any tone worsening effects. Are there disadvantages to refretting a Strat with stainless in your experience?

[@sometimesdimneverthin]

Video and any errors are fine but could do with a tab even if Patreon only. What I don't get is why Dave says he made a mistake but goes on to say you can do almost whatever and that is fine. It's blues and each time can be a bit different. I doubt Robert Johnson was taught the finer points of Bach at the crossroads.

[@swiftyswift833]

Yes overdrive

[@davidharvey8812]

Gary Moore right there !!

[@monkfish3099]

HIP HIP DA-DA-DAVE!!!! HIP HIP DA-DA-DAVE!!! you rock our socks dave-o
