That lightness in your playing and your teaching... Thank you so much! Axel from Germany

[@mikebarnard2689]

I’ve been playing competently for 40yrs … but this simple stuff sounds SO good and tasteful… it just highlights that I really know very little. Great stuff.

[@musiccreation1198]

Thanks!

[@stickman55100]

12 minutes of incredible tips and information. It never ceases to amaze me just how much I gain from watching and listening to your posts.

[@paulchow2742]

Thanks

[@WolframEsszett]

I like the relaxed playing and sound, very clear and best blues-tutorial ever. Jack is a great guitarist and teacher, cause praxis and theorie fits together. Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany!

[@williamecolemansr1930]

As a 71 just playing again, I am AMAZED at your vocal delivery explaining things. I’m absolutely crazy about deep grabbing blues. Your intro is a perfect example of smooth and perfection. I’m following you to the grocery store. Thank you.

[@5s4l1p1fcw]

Thanks, that was beautiful! You should make a slow blues course

[@briandaniels679]

Quite simply one of the best guitar lessons I've seen on KZbin.

[@ussrobama5511]

No comment. Thank You so much for what You are doing, Jack!

[@timsmith190]

There is a ton of under the hood information about chord structure/application here. Now I have a chance to understand the function of all those disparate blues chords I've been playing for decades. Thank You Jack!

[@stickman55100]

@official_account..... I’ve reported your message as spam. Get a life and do something legal.

[@melb5996]

So eloquently put. As a sax player, I love improvising over the blues and it can be really hard to wind it up as you get so into it 😁👍

[@PeterKertesz2013]

1st class lesson, thank you! Intro 2:29 , Chord Progression 6:26 , Embellishment and Phrasing 8:51 , Vocal Ending 11:15

[@PatrickMonnier]

As smooth as silk. Great touch, insightful teaching.

[@EngRMP]

Very cool! You did a great job making the singer and rhythm melodies clearly audible. It made the call/response lines much easier to hear and understand. I've really been trying to listen more, and just imagine what I would want to play, so this was a perfect lesson for me.

[@ModMarcus]

Excellent lesson. Thanks from Chicago!

[@stopbeingbusy]

Thanks Jack! I watched this then purchased your TrueFire course - it’s exactly what been searching for. Your style and pacing are perfect for what I’m trying to achieve. Really looking forward to taking these ideas to the studio. Keep up the great work 🎸

[@kocherpm]

love the advice on cues between musicians. so critical - if you don't know it will make you look like a rookie.

[@malcolmedwards296]

Nice my friend 🎉😂

[@druwk]

Knowing these heads, and tails are SO crucial. Simple, but not easy to master under the gun. Thanks for the layout!

[@SpiritWorldTarot]

Love your chill and laid back vibe. Thank you😊

[@desmondtutu7916]

This is my favorite guitar channel.

[@williamdevlin366]

Don’t know how I missed this one but it’s great!!! Thank you!!!

[@kendipietro6855]

"It's common that the singer will queue the end of the band" - otherwise known as the Yoko Ono effect. Thanks for another great lesson, Jack.

[@RedMercuryBluesBand]

LOL - great minds think alike.......

[@johnbuell8035]

It’s ‘cue’ in this context - not ‘queue’. As in give them a cue. You’re saying the singer will make the band stand in line

[@sega62s]

first thing before you get onstage, don’t forget your cold beer , always a winner ….after you can play your soul out 🍻. Great feel and nice tone sir!

[@SuperEriclou]

As always, great lesson! If you could make a lesson with more variations on intros and endings, I would be immensely grateful. Thank you Jack for sharing your knowledge!

[@tommyraper3895]

Thanks Jack for explaining something that seems simple but still requires some thought!

[@fourthofseven]

Excellent advice very tasteful!

[@dougshankle7946]

You are so tasteful man. And a really good teacher.

[@luckydog-287]

I bought a use like a joke and it "joked" me ) Your courses are straight to the core without any magic balls it it gives a boost to try it right away.

[@paulgentile1024]

I'm definitely going to subscribe.. thank you very much for the knowledge I really dig it

[@howardcoleman4748]

Made it plenty of room for others that I think makes it sound better than to busy very professional someone tried to make out of was bad to you on one comment before but I was wondering if you could hear the louder than normal notes that I heard anyway I think we are all learning to become better polished musicians peace Jack thanks for your help from the heart❤🎸☮️

[@garypage1333]

I liked you blues style do you have the backing tracks?

[@jwegreyhounds]

Hi Jack, like your teaching style, mild manor, soft talking, deliberate and thorough. I know you play all styles but I see how good of a Jazz player you are😊. May ask your help to identify a pretty chord I use at the end of a slow song featuring Major 7’s. At the end of a run up the neck I play this chord followed by a Major 7th: So, at the 3rd fret, bar the 6 and 5 string with thumb, at the 2nd fret bar the 3 and 4 string with the first finger, then bar the 1 and 2 string with ring finger? Inside of that chord is a C 9th then has an A added with the first finger. So would it be a C9th+6? I know it’s not a Sus chord because the E third is there. Thanks for your consideration. I can’t find your Tip Jug on your site to help you? Keep up the great lessons Jim Western PA

[@billyjoechurchwell9988]

Let me buy you a coffee, Jack.

[@Dave-gf3kd]

I appreciate the content of this video! I’m guessing that a a lot of the KZbin audience that watch these types of instruction videos do not or have not played up on stage but aspire to. So hearing how things work up on stage or with other musicians is super educational!

[@YouknowmeOUdo]

First time here it was a great tutorial. Can you recommend a Backing Track for practice?

[@miket9881]

That would be use especially using the same chord progression on the turnaround

[@chrisalford1821]

My wife was listening and asked if that was Chris Pine teaching guitar. You do sound like Captain Kirk a little. Thanks for the tips BTW.

[@Coucoulou]

Nice video, like always. Thanks a lot! Got a little cold? If yes...bless you!

[@boydross]

Vrey nice

[@jeffreyreid7036]

Jack love this. Looking forward to the Patreon update.

[@sheepdog72]

Subbed

[@carvingCode]

Great lesson, Jack. Thanks. Do you mind divulging what strings you use on your Telecasters? Again, thanks.

[@miket9881]

Have you done a backing track we can practice to ?

[@proudamerican9438]

Having trouble finding this lesson on Patreon. Is there an easier way to pinpoint these lessons on the Patreon site?

[@yamraaj4529]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@lancelotlink6545]

What's that last chord you are hitting to wrap it up? A7 6 flat9?

[@EdwinDekker71]

A13

[@jamesquinn60]

How do I find your patreon page

[@RedMercuryBluesBand]

Many singers have indeed 'cued the ending' of the band LOL - the dreaded LSD..... jus kidding - good lesson and killer tone as always.....

[@johnsee7269]

Superb, quite intellectual explication of blues guitar playin... However, I would have loved to have heard a 'slow burn' from you with just the right amount of distortion. I can hear it now a little... Very positive comment! Maby you didn't have time to delve into the minutiae of theory and a lot of other stuff... BB would tighten (louder mainly) the band a notch and just grab your heart with a slow burn; almost a religious experience; I never heard nothin like it from anyone else... RIP (So help me God... it's not on recordings; you can't/couldn't record whatever it was; life changing experience for me...)

[@BuckJoFiden]

Lots of good stuff here. Thanks Jack 👍

[@thereareplaces]

Thanks, Jack. What a talented guitarist and instructor. I was so interested in what you had to say I joined your Parteon. Because I am new to Patreon and your channel, how long after a video do you post the tabs/etc. on Patreon? I'm not bugging you, just want to know when I should check back - or maybe its already there and I am just not seeing it. In any event, thanks again.

[@JackRuch]

It will be up in 2 days. It takes me a bit to get everything together. Thanks for the support!

[@michaelcraig9449]

Got tabs for this stuff?

[@AllThings271]

Hopefully Harry will follow suit.

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Don't you simply play the A minor blues pentatonic scale ?

[@guloguloguy]

.....THANKS, FOR THIS LESSON. HOWEVER, I REALLY WISH THAT YOU WOULD BEGIN EVERY LESSON, BY TAKING A MINUTE TO MENTION WHAT EQUIPMENT YOU'RE USING: (GUITAR, AMP, + EFFECTS... ETC.)

[@rodneytedford]

Tab?

[@RobertFairweatherMusic]

0:55 ?

[@DanRussellGuitar]

Zang!

[@audetnelson1]

Where can i find this backing track

[@JackRuch]

These backing tracks are on my Patreon page.

[@kc8923]

Staple not stable?
