I think it's always helpful to beginner guitarists to show them the chord shapes that lead lines can be based in. For example, the slide up to the Em using a Dm shape moved up to the 3rd fret, and an Am slid up a couple of frets.

[@user-rk4nx1dx1l]

That was blimmin great mate, so clear and easy to follow...perfect pace with the info and demo. Wow, thanks !👍✌

[@GuitarME]

Thanks, mate! Glad the pace worked well for you. 😃

[@jamesdilts277]

I've been doing this in a way for months now, but you put it in a way better context, I really appreciate it man, this really helps expand on what I've been trying to do with out even realizing it, thank you sir.

[@GuitarME]

You're very welcome! It's my pleasure. Keep up the great work and thanks for watching! :)

[@magnificentmuttley2084]

First rate tuition Tony! Not only do you teach in a straightforward manner but your delivery is spot on. Thank you and consider yourself subscribed to! Best regards from the Giant’s Causeway coast of Northern Ireland. 😄✌️🎸☘️

[@GuitarME]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing! Best regards from across the pond, and I look forward to sharing more with you on your musical journey. Keep strumming and stay inspired! 🎸🎶

[@jimharringtonsr.2793]

Great stuff, some nice insight. Thanks.

[@stevenburton7922]

Good stuff...thanks for posting

[@22degrees53]

Best guitar tutorials on KZbin. Great knowledge and easy to follow along. I've found I start with your principles and start something of my own. Very helpful advice cheers Tony

[@GuitarME]

Aw thanks man! That’s what it’s all about my friend. Take the concept and run with it :)

[@22degrees53]

@GuitarME Yer man, I've played with alot of different people from all over the world when I was backpacking. I picked up different bits and pieces but never really understood how it fits together until I looked into the basics on the piano. Its been the same as trying to learn off my good mates who are computer nerds everything computers. The info is always in a code, and the important parts skimmed over to hide the real knowledge they keep for themselves to feel special. But you have got the format of teaching nailed down, short enough to watch and practise daily and more than enough information and explanations to help expand on your own sounds and ideas. Extremely well done, and I've told everybody who wants to learn the guitar to watch and subscribe. 👍

[@GuitarME]

@22degrees53 honestly made my day mate haha, thanks for taking the time to write that. Makes all the difference man. Just glad I can be of use in some way haha

No need to practice scales for more than a couple minutes a day. Start finding some riffs with those notes. Practicing should be about making music.

When I first started playing guitar it took me a good while to crack this! But once you have it down it opens up a world of options. Practice practice practice. It’s always worth it. Great video.

EXCELLENT! You're making practice fun (how dare you) Cheers -

[@ron.v]

This is so priceless. You're a good player. I enjoyed listening. What fascinates me most is that I, and many other young white kids in the American southeast, were listening to and playing these same blues licks back in the 1950s and early '60s. In the early '50s when we first heard artists like Elvis Presley, we thought, "Hey, this sounds a lot like the black man's blues." I later learned that Sam Phillips, who discovered Elvis, also discovered Howlin' Wolf. The problem then was no other white teens in the U.S. were listening to black blues artists except we kids in the southeast (AKA deep south). We didn't know why not. Suddenly in the '60s, the British invasion introduced bands from the U.K. who appreciated blues. Artists like Eric Clapton were teaching my fellow Americans the music I had grown up loving. People in Europe were praising legendary black blues artists: John Lee Hooker, Sonny Boy Williamson, and so on, as they toured outside the U.S. I met John Lee Hooker at a lounge in Birmingham, Alabama one night and asked him what he thought of Animals lead singer, Eric Burdon. He said, "Oh, Eric? He's my man!" Hahaha. At the annual Blues Competition in Memphis, Tennessee 20+ years ago, I saw artists from Japan to Scotland performing. I was glad even though blues had taken decades to catch on. Thank you for this video showing that blues is still popular over there. Keep the blues alive my friend and teach the younger generations.

[@GuitarME]

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences, my friend! Also, thank you for watching! Let's indeed keep the blues alive! :)

[@adrianmcgachie]

Easiest tutorial ever! None of the musical BS stuff that baffles me!

[@moxnix1026]

My fingers are so fat I've had to adapt my own chords. Especially on electrics. Em I use my middle fingertip. That's all! Am I use two fingers. My middle covers two strings and my index holds down one. And that finger is moved up behind my middle so the open strings are clean. Like for an A7 I have to use the very tips of my ring finger and pinky because they're the skinniest to keep the open strings clear. Etc. It works. It works well.

[@GuitarME]

Wow, it sounds like you've got your own special technique going on! Pretty clever. Thanks for sharing, mate! Keep on strumming! 😀
