[@patrickleniqueur8474]

[@Jack-fs2im]

I,m addicted to yr vids thanx so

[@RevvyTone]

Another great lesson. I like how you're breaking down for both downstrokes and up and down.

[@that1guywithtattoos897]

AWESOME LESSON!!

[@ericshaffer9823]

The kind of simple only years of practice can achieve! Thanks

[@SNOWGIL13]

Excellent 👍

[@TheSTEEBOS]

Great lesson! Sometimes that one "right riff" is all you need.

[@tiwflah]

Love this Shane. So simple yet really effective. Takes practice of course. Keep 'em coming.

[@cmmbsnyder55]

I have both the King & Snake Oil Slides. They're great stubby slides. Stubby Slides are a must for the CBG!

[@Ranjer-os5wr]

I still can't carry a tune in a bucket- but having a blast trying. Thanks for all the new content, sir.

[@ShaneSpeal]

Keep going. There is going to be a point in your life where things will tip over and you will be playing music that you never thought was possible. You’ve got this!

[@didierdutoit9843]

Encore un nouveau RIF a ajouter à ma collection. 🎻🎻🎻

[@martinfisher7193]

Thanks, Shane! Keep strummin' - never stop! 🙂

[@lininpa4064]

Thanks Shane! For taking the time to show us and breaking them down ! Great lesson

[@ShaneSpeal]

I’m sorry that all my other lessons didn’t break it down like this. I want you guys to PLAY more than anything else

[@jeffelliott689]

The head bob brings it all together.

[@ShaneSpeal]

Can I get an AMEN?

[@jeffelliott689]

@@ShaneSpeal AMEN BROTHER!!!!😃

[@richardwillis6485]

Love this one Shane! In my head after this riff I hear 4 beats twice on the third fret and then back to the 4x4 on the 12th, and then who knows after that

[@MarkCoulter801]

Great lesson!

[@Samlowry27B-6]

Great lesson yet again Shane. Really have to work on my up strokes.

[@mybusiness7663]

Thank you so much for breaking these down for us pokey slows too! Practicing this with a Del Puckett three string

[@ShaneSpeal]

Del rules. The fact that he loves Jesus makes him even more of a legend to me

[@mybusiness7663]

@@ShaneSpeal exactly He is just a great brother we are proud to call him friend

[@mybusiness7663]

And you too!

[@paulschmidtmodels]

I'm really digging this blues university stuff! How about a lesson on how to sing while playing?

[@TheSTEEBOS]

Start off with an easy song that you have known the words by heart to for a long time & is easy to play. Basic 2 or 3 chord strummers are good. Practice playing until you have the rhythm & chord changes down. The less you have to think about the better. Think about the words in your head as you're playing. Listen to how they fit into the rhythm. At this point you just have to take a leap of faith and try to sing. It's not going to all fit together right away. Whatever you do don't let your rhythm hand stop. Practice, practice, practice. When you are finally able to sing along with that song practice it over and over again. Play and sing it every day until you can really belt it out. Then pick another song to try. Rinse, repeat. Eventually you'll be able to sing over more complex playing, but it all comes with time and practice. The more you practice singing and playing together the more the two become one. You start to hear and learn songs differently based on the where the words sit in the rhythm. You can do it. Just keep trying until it clicks. I hope this helps. ✌💚💦

[@paulschmidtmodels]

@@TheSTEEBOS thank you. I'm gonna start on that. Sounds easy enough....

[@dwood2342]

Lovin SSBU. Thanks so much for doin the vids

[@ShaneSpeal]

Love that you’re learnin’

[@dwood2342]

@@ShaneSpeal Im certainly trying.

[@TeamUltraSlow]

These bite-size lessons are awesome. Unless I missed it in the past, how about one on the Hound Dog Taylor riff you did demonstrating the snake oil slides?

[@ShaneSpeal]

ah yeah! I'm slowly going through my old vids to redo stuff. And I love to tell people about Hound Dog!

[@brianq4.13.69]

Gimme back my wig is one of those seminal licks we can’t live without!

[@martinwebb3394]

I just love theses vids Shane, make my day! Shame I have to practice in my garage as I make such a terrible racket - but one day I'll be able to play it well enough to be let back indoors by the wife!! Ha Ha Can this one be played with a fretted CBG and a using slide? 🎸

[@gwhiz1957]

Great t-shirt …

[@gwhiz1957]

And it’s ordered!
