How to Play Minor Blues Guitar Chord Progressions

[@moseseseseses]

I just came across this guy and he is a great guitar teacher. Every word he speaks is relative to what he is showing the viewer. He doesn't waste vocabulary un-needed trying to impress anyone with what they don't need to know. He gets right to the point at hand, and he is a great guitar player. I just subscribed to him, and look forward on seeing other videos of his. Please encourage these teachers folks. They are using their time and attention to freely help you and your children learn.

Man, I am in shock, that was so deep, yet so easy to do, I always heard it on my cd's and I thought they were doing lots of stuff to get those sounds, and now, wow, I am speechless. Thanks buddy.

[@Berklee_Online]

Yes, it's an online school of Berklee College of Music.

[@stuntnet]

What a great lesson. "The Thrill is Gone" is my all time favorite blues song. Nice teaching. Friendly, accessible and informative. Thanks for posting this.

[@JulianManzara]

@chicozolano the standard blues progression is: 1,1,1,1,4,4,1,1,5,4,1,1. those can be major, minor, or dominant depending on the song. Usually one quality is used throughout. for example all major throughout or all minor throughout

[@filmtress]

So simple yet so beautiful. Big hats off to BB King. And to you for your style of teaching us.

[@xshredgex]

Mike is my instructor for guitar performance lab at Berklee. He is a really good teacher!!

[@jeffpotts77]

Wow, this is a great lesson in restraint. I would recommend this clip for anyone who has ever been accused of overplaying.

[@AaronCMH]

That is smooth as silk.

[@agnostoatomo]

Great lesson! There are too many videos on soloing & how to become the "guitarhero" with the latest licks,but this video inspired me a lot,because it nourishes my need on how i can support my fellow musicians and vibrate a smooth groove into the space around me...great! guitarists...leave your ego's at home and bring your hearts into play!

[@roussos87]

0:31.. he needed the chord to finish the sentence.... love him!! great teacher....

[@zep68cd]

Keep going, once you get it, no one would be able to take away that reward from you, it´ll open many doors and you´ll end up developing a tool that can easely get people closer to you or themselves. Don´t stop, you´ll make it.

[@substantialfgc]

It's amazing how easy it is to do this and make it sound so good!

[@holysomes92]

Nice to see someone teaching the new guys.. You remind me a lot of a kid that played with me int he early 70's Tommy Nash! Good job!

[@potestado]

Sir, you are one of the best I´ve ever seen giving guitar lessons on KZbin....thank you very much. I´m from Paraguay.

[@Derek-the-toad]

This is a great video. Can’t believe it’s been so long since the last comment and since the video was posted. It’s still great now!

[@brobdj]

wow! great minor chords.. I wish the video was longer, I love jamming to this.

[@hogsbelly63]

I find a lot of lessons on here, I'm put off by the terrible guitar tones some players use. This is sweet, clean and soulful. Great stuff. Thank you. Much appreciated.

[@beardsman]

Best teacher on youtube thanks for the handy tips

[@nateandguitar]

Love those "R&B" shapes b/c they can so quickly lend themselves to the Hendrix type hammer on and pull off double stop shapes. Great Work.

[@jayrangdale]

Nice work dude! Been noodling away with this all weekend! Cheers!

[@ringostarky1]

@mecasper1134 standard - it's just a I IV V minor blues progression in A. using the top 3 strings of an Am chord at the 5th fret and sliding them up to Bm and back again before going to the IV chord which is Dm7.

[@nickinjersey2]

thanks man. hope my thanks makes all worth while for you. you make a great point in not over playing the blues. it really is all feel for the pure stuff. excellent job of teaching.

[@DiegoNavaja]

You could jam with these chords in very different ways. Its awesome!

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Beautiful strat.

[@DavidDiMuzio]

great lesson...post more!!

[@MrLenkoi]

Wow great tone..Fender DeVille I presume. Great lessons too.. Many thanks you guys..from Malaysia, accepting blues as it is

[@berherbi]

your lesson are superb, this is the real stuff, thanks a lot Berher

[@dennervideos]

Sensational information Berklee School of Music ROCKS !!!

[@ChrisPlugged]

really enjoyed that, was able to play along and pick up some great tips! thanks

[@GouledXD]

I was just improvising to that R&B rhythm section, and it was awesome. I've never really played with a backing (band setting). I think my ego just got a boost today.

[@dspecht40]

Man... this lesson is inspirational.. Im gonna have to chew on it when I get home from work today.

[@FreedomMan420]

i just started playin too. all i could tell ya is alot of A7s and D7s, using the barre chords. as far as other chords and how he expands on them go i have no idea but ive been told it comes with time

[@dipoadam]

Blues, the basic for life and human dignity progress.. Thanks for lesson.

[@KevinLambguitar]

Revisiting - Dude, you are close to 1.3 million views! Incredible!

[@scottmorrise]

If your still wondering: Am7, slide to Bm7 Dm7 then F9 and E7+9 in the last bars. Pentatonic licks in between.

[@liquidgd]

I just started getting the hang of Bm scale and chord mixing and this is perfect, and well taught. thanks.

[@Arieluke]

Exelente Tecnica y limpieza total al ejecutar el instrumento... Exelente Video..

[@dennervideos]

Truly outstanding guitar lessons

[@neurocosm]

[@chouans35]

Thanks for the lesson,nice guitar,nice sound exactement ce que je recherche un grand merci

[@fridwoow]

very good lesson... the idea is quite simple ... but theres lots of variations.. great

[@JohnGuitarSolo]

Would really love to see Berklee School of music using the new iphone 4 alongside there guitar lessons With the dual-core A5 chip, all-new 8-megapixel camera and optics, iOS 5, iCloud, and Siri, iPhone 4S is the most amazing iPhone yet. Thank you again for sharing these video with the guitar world John

[@mjuzikcovers]

I totally agree.... The beauty is in the simplicity..

[@archtop]

The last 2 chords are the raised 5 to the 5 : an F9 to an E with a sharp 9 (also sometimes known as the Jimi Hendrix chord

[@TravisBean777]

Very nice. You lay it out and explain it well.

[@GuitarPlayingFool93]

@juicym19 it all depends on what style youre playing. for example, for blues, youd probably want either a fender, which is what hes using in the video, or a nice gibson. for rock or metal, ibanez, jackson and schecter are all nice choices. for amps, youll probably want a line 6, it has a nice range of tones and they are very afoordable

[@sahid31390]

So easy, yet so inspirational!

[@BostonRocker51]

Thank You for a great lesson! Nice camera work, and of course, you have impeccable playing. I walk by Berklee, know Breklee grads and have great respect for your school. again, thanks!
