5 BADASS Blues Licks!

[@SpedSpedding]

If you don't believe anything I side in the intro, how do you explain this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6XLmX2jiJmCitk

[@hereiwuz]

Yeah, well, that's self-explanatory ;-) I DO believe it. I think you are savin' me about a gazillion dollars in lessons. And maybe a couple of decades, also.

[@James-cs3hp]

Great advice...😂🎸❣️

[@dubreg6711]

the intro is youtube gold

[@SpedSpedding]

Colm Regan Hahaha thanks man! 🤣👌🏻

[@eldiablo3794]

Reminds me of a bit from spinal tap lol

[@robertglass3944]

I found you because I'm a guitar player, but I watch your videos for your humor just as much as what I glean from your knowlage. [You could say, I laugh as much as I learn.]

[@hazor777]

Ah, a nice gem of a lesson ! Whenever I browse for videos with Bluesy licks, the licks have to have that “spark” …, that jolt that catches the listener’s ear - these have that. You can never have too many of these licks/runs in your arsenal- they’re invaluable when you’re playing for people and you run out of ideas and hate repeating yourself. Also, it trains your brain to learn in “blocks” of musical ideas that you can dissect and create songs/riffs of your own etc. Always great content from your channel, Sped. I hope everything’s going great in your world! Cheers!

[@SpedSpedding]

Lick 1 - 1:45 Lick 2 - 4:16 Lick 3 - 5:36 Lick 4 - 7:54 Lick 5 - 9:47

[@ZeNeonKnight]

Everyone should do themselves a favor, though, and not skip ahead to the first one. Start yourself with a great laugh at the beginning!

[@fancymcentire5710]

you are a very good teacher, every other creator thinks they have to explain everything , you keep it simple and sweet.

[@SpedSpedding]

This is awesome. Glad it works for you. Thanks.

[@harrymitchell5402]

Dam it boy. Excellent. You inspire. I'm older but. Still got my chops. It's like when you blew your own mind when you was just learning. And after 40 yrs you still blow your mind. I still got that. Love it. Great feeling. Thanks. Kick ass really enjoy your passion. And you have to have that Passion. People can write. People can paint. And people can play. Guitar is magical.

[@SpedSpedding]

Thanks Harry! That's amazing. If I can entertain and inspire at the same time, I'm done. Haha. And you're right, it's a passion and an art-form. I hope these licks can bring an extra sprinkle of musical magic to your day.

How do you not have like 1 mil? You’re a fantastic content creator

[@mattgilstrap7295]

Totally agree. I came down to the comments to say something like this.

[@FINELINEVAN]

Dude your intro is the best. Comic, great player, and teacher all in one. Thanks for doing all this stuff. Your the best Youube instruction by far.

[@SpedSpedding]

Ah, thanks so much! That’s so nice of you. ✨🙏🏻

[@Winterfell1066]

I just KEEP finding more cool videos and lessons you have done. It is fantastic. These are great licks. I am doing some similar things, but it is easy to get in a rut with blues. Thanks. My condolences on the Queen's passing. Was just about 30 miles away in the northern edge of the Caringorms when she passed.

[@SpedSpedding]

Haha, yeah there's a lot going back. So cool that you're finding so much use out of the lessons. There's a part 2 to this as well.

[@MrSmokinaces1000]

Your intro in explanation is awesome!! Got my attention, exactly what I needed. I just want to wow my friends

[@SpedSpedding]

Haha, yeah! Make sure you check out part 2 as well!

[@Ultimagtr650]

This really stands out because you go into detail, and take your time to show exactly what and how you play - Bravo!

[@SpedSpedding]

Thank you! Glad you liked it, there is a second one too. I plan on putting out a couple more of these this year as well.

[@blueskilla6]

this is my fav channel on youtube, seriously

Thanks!

Pleasure! And thank you for the support. Sorry, KZbin doesn't always show comments as super thanks on the phone app!

Great licks and great teaching I like the way you explain how you’re picking so important!!!

[@peterclune4770]

Your 5 licks wil be in my inventory real quick, and your tutorial was clear and precise good luck sped

[@midfieldcrisis]

Finally I'm challenged! Great teacher. I slowly learned these licks. Thx so much for taking the time.

[@SpedSpedding]

My pleasure. 🔥💪🏻

[@petersmichaeld59]

Thanks for sharing....nice job....most appreciative...more thanks that you got right into it...instead of that unbearable annoying verbal diarrhea..suffering through the nauseating dribble....of unnecessary overkill explanations. You were brief...to the point...and got your ideas across with clarity. What a relief.

[@malupaural1494]

Yeah this channel should be blowing up hopefully. Great videos. Have a good day!

[@malupaural1494]

Actually, a tip. I think all of it is fantastic. Your newer licks video is amazing, but maybe some more creativiy in the intro and a better production style mught get you somewhere(Think Paul Davids style)

[@litigationiq3935]

Best sense of humor. Not to mention sweet licks.

[@SpedSpedding]

Hahaha, everyone loves this intro. Must do more Brent humour. Thanks for watching.

I liked the lesson. When your isolated from other players it’s hard to find someone who will slow it down, and keep it simple. ...teach something like April Wine in one of your lessons. I like that kind of stuff.
