How to solo over Blues, use the King Box and sound like a King on Guitar

[@jamesrockland9616]

Lots of good players out there (including you!), yet a great teacher, such as yourself, is somewhat rare... but on top of that all, you've also got an effective presentation set up and have developed a comprehensive syllabus for musicians of all levels, which makes your channel unique and priceless. Wish you lots of KZbin success, you truly deserve it and many thanks for providing all this to us for free!!

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

Thank you so much, it means alot to hear that, and of course, Keep Playing!

AT 74 I Learnt the Aminor pentatonic and blues scale --by heart 40 yrs ago (all 5 scales) up the neck --thought I knew it all - but the scale you show in the beginning is new to me --as is the KING blues box you discuss---I have to re-learn it all so I will follow your lesson 1 ,4 5 chords are new as well so I am your humble student ---thankyou

It's a wonderful Blues Guitar Lesson what I'm looking for so long time. I'm a just senior beginner of the guitar and are surfing in the internet, but the most of channels are hard to understand and too fast for me. Sorry for knowing your channel too late but at least now I know.

I agree, so many channels and teachers are over shooting and to advanced for most folks. Welcome, and glad your here. Keep playing

[@stephengunterdc9651]

Brilliant job! The instruction was top notch, the production values of the video very, very good, and the playing was suitably impressive, yet did not overshadow the purpose of the presentation. That presentation, I would say, was a real gift of love for music as an experience, an art form, and a means of expression. I particularly liked the way you began your demonstration with the simple 5-note box, and then elaborated it to the extended box with blue note, etc. Your illustrations were clear and uncluttered, presenting just the relevant information, and your guidance went from beginner to intermediate, with an experts flash at the end. I can't tell you why you did it that way, but as a teacher/learner for many years I can say that the effect was to create confidence, build expertise, and inspire desire for more.

Thank you very much. Yes, I am blessed after retired, I started to learn guitar and yes it is exciting and make my days very joyful. Thank you very much chief. Cheers from Indonesia.

[@Twitexter]

You know what? I’ve been looking for a lesson like this for years and watched hundreds of them and absolutely no one explained it! Please, more videos like this - in all keys. That was my idea of a perfect 12 bar blues lessons. Starting with simple solos to more complex ones. And then do it for all keys. I know - that’s a lot of videos but I’m absolutely sure that would be the perfect 12 bar blues solo course. I would actually pay for it.

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

Thank you, and great idea. Keep playing!

[@andrewhanes6974]

I liked this video too, and not to be critical but I think you're missing the point a little in asking for all 12 keys. Everything's movable on guitar, and this system insists you know the fretboard notes well (well, at least the roots). So to play in all keys, you need to memorize all the roots, and if you know the roots, you understand where to play in any key. The pattern is exactly the same. It's a holistic view I think would help you to understand the theory better.

[@Twitexter]

@@andrewhanes6974 I know it is moveble. But people want “XY for dummies”. If they want to go to music school, they would have already. Except they usually can’t. You have to start young. This is where all online courses fail: “Oh, do the rest yourself, figure it out!” And I also meant to include different levels of soloing - from the simplest to more complex (not too much). Let’s say - six of them. Yes, that’s lots of videos. But the only useful online course is the one that leaves you without additional questions. And if you can learn from just few of them, good for you. But there are others. If someone practiced and played through all of them, he would really learn it. In school or in private classes you have a teacher to ask all the questions. Here you don’t. So - more details, more examples - better the course.

[@demonrouge3338]

Eureka! At 7:00 I became a guitar player. That’s the moment when it started to fit together your explanation beginning at about 6:30 is everything. Finally. It’s so simple, but nobody ever says this to guitar players that are beginners. All I can say is God bless you my man. Thank you.

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

Music to my ears, so good to hear! Keep playing!

[@demonrouge3338]

I’m a long time player and I have spent many hours searching for how to play lead over the 145. You have mailed it and I am indebted to you. Thank you very much you have no idea what you have given me. And I thank you for it.

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

Thank you and Keep playing!

[@alanmosedale6126]

Absolutely agree with other comments. I’ve seen loads of vids covering this stuff why has this not popped up before now. So clearly explained with theory seamlessly dropped in. Bend the B string a half step which implies the 7th chord. Wow lightbulb moment. Why had I never realised that before?Thank so much for this.

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

great stuff it has help me a lot thank you but can i use the lower strings as well and also the minor pentatonic also? thanks

You can use any string in any position, but in this case they are Major pentatonics. The minor pentatonic is a good global scale in blues

[@roninmartin5607]

Most of us "learn by doing" ..learning by ear.. you emphasis that very well. Keep it up.. remember "talk is cheap" LOL Keep emphasis on making sounds, using narratives only as needed.
