Play your 1st Blues Solo - Guitar Lesson with 8 licks in A minor pentatonic

I made a follow up video to this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoC5no1mq9aNm7s with more licks in the same style/level

[@williamsomerville9487]

I am a 61 year old beginner and I am currently learning the E m pentatonic scale . I now know shape 1 2 and 3 .This is the most straight forward video I've seen. Your explanation and showing when to do bends & sldes is FANTASTIC. I'm now going to get my guitar & start playing the pentatonic scale. Thank you so much & I have subscribed to channel & so looking forward to learning the blues. Thank you .

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Wow! Thank you, that's a great comment. Yes, that's exactly what I was aiming for: not just showing a scale, but how to play the notes within the scale to make something musical not just sound like running up and down the scale, which is usually how we all start soloing. Well, it was for me anyway

[@TheUlesifah701]

I agree with all the positive feedback , I’m not quite intermediate level but not a beginner… I’m like most of these guys, played a bit as a youngster, had zero discipline or theory interest.. now as a 42 year old , with help from guys like you lots of things start to click !!

[@philam1973]

Just a note to all: I have played on and off for 35+ years as a self taught guitarist. Mostly collecting tabs and fixing to original songs. I play open, bar, and modified bar chords. Some theory. I’ve bought some blues courses but they never kept my interest. Marc’s turnaround lesson and simple playalongs in A turned on a light. It took a week (older age, I can’t practice for long) before I memorized my first lesson. I combined it with the turnaround lesson and started hearing variations in my head. Watching TV, I was hearing new variations in my head and would run to my guitar to try it. While playing along with a lesson, I started playing my own variations and finished the 12 bars in time. Everyone is different but a number of these lessons (I’m doing all in A so far) will go far to advancing blues improv. My next goal and suggestion would be a lesson of chords and solo notes combination or singing soloing (call response). Keeping it simple is great. Keep up the good work. Gives me something to do during lockdown as an expat in the Philippines.

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

What a great comment! Yes this is it exactly. I'm so pleased you were able to take my lessons and use the as a way into creating your own licks. This is exactly what I was aiming for. Thank you for such a great comment.

I just put my own story behind yours on comments, but my question is ? Assuming you originally came from the states , how it possible to be an expat when you’re living in the Philippines?

Thank you, Marc. I bought a guitar last week and I've been practicing the A minor pentatonic like a maniac without realizing that it doesn't matter whether I use my pinky vs ring finger for the notes on the 8th fret.

Lesson was awesomely put together and combined with the backing track it really got me to a place I have obsessed over for a long time. Thank you so much, Marc!

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Thank you so much for such a great comment. This is exactly the reason why I uploaded this video. Years ago I did a similar thing with a simple blues solo lesson I bought and I remember when I was first able to play the example solo. So this comment means a lot.

However if you want to try something similar though, I have another video which you might find useful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqWpY6SMopV-esU (It's one of my earliest videos, so I look a little younger, but the lesson should still be helpful)

[@robkunkel8833]

Philam in the Philippines just echoed my thoughts .. i’m not an Expat, but I am living in the US Virgin Islands and the isolation of any place like this can be difficult, … especially when it’s so damn hot during hurricane season. That said, I’ve felt the blues in me all my life, but I always played a woodwind and a little piano. … My dad was skeptical of guitars when they were first “invented “ (in his mind) and so he made me play clarinet like Benny Goodman and I evolved into saxophone. … 50 years later, I have decided to learn guitar licks and I have a wonderful Cole Clark Busker quality guitar to do it. It is really hard to get used to the idea of six strings and chords but I am going to master this and I refuse to take any more lessons until I learn this lesson and the other one by this producer. I like the way he talks and I like the way he thinks.. and I plan to do the same myself and at least learn A Pentatonic . 🙏🏾thanks everyone!

Hi Marc, this is the first video of yours I've seen but have already hit the subscribe button. As a 40 year old beginner guitarist, it's great to watch a beginner lesson on youtube and actually think, as a beginner, I could manage that ! So many of the popular teachers on here fire off a solo and describe it as "easy" because it's easy to them, not the person watching the video. Going to get started on this, thanks again.

[@MarcGuitarVideos]

Hi Matt - yes, I completely agree with you. That's exactly what I'm going for. I try to make lessons that are useful. I have lessons for intermediate players too, which are more challenging.
