How To Play Blues Guitar - Part 4 - Calm It Down

I hope this ones ok. :)

[@christopherlowe2200]

You are far from boring Dave , you are a brilliant teacher and I could listen to you ramble on all day . The light n shade soloing at the end of this tutorial is incredible. Don’t ever stop making these videos 🤞

[@kamranharoon7249]

Apart from the amazing instruction, one of the best blues guitar inspiration video series on the Tube by far. Thank you so much Dave for inspiring a rebeginner with a 20 year gap in between, and God bless 👍

[@santrixhimself3679]

That oswald strat is crazy good looking. sofisticated

[@WolverineBeast86]

It's my favorite!

[@santrixhimself3679]

@@WolverineBeast86 mine too. I got a kind of similiar looking fender strat but still need to match the knobs and pickup covers

[@mickhill6972]

Really great instructional videos are these Dave for all learning aspiring guitarists to watch and learn from. Your relaxed steady pace of instruction makes it all achievable for potential players if they go away and practise what you've preached afterwards. Thanks for making them mate!

[@aodh5022]

Peter Green did a lot more for me than BB. Love it all anyway. Can't wait for the Peter Green based lesson; your take on his style is going to be well scrutinised that's fer durn sure! Meanwhile, every "in the style of" installation in this much appreciated series is superlative...how you can doubt yourself is perplexing Dave, but maybe that's what keeps your edge honed 🤔🙂👍

[@kcsunshine2987]

Really awesome lessons, this was the best till now! I know the chords, the scales and some licks.. The bla bla.. but only now, all of a sudden I just feel it inside. This unlocked the feeling of blues and it all makes sense now. Eager for what is to come! Thank you so much!

[@vadwanuu7825]

Thank you again Dave for doing this blues tutorial series. Each generation we have less and less blues players. Thank you you for helping to keep it alive by inspiring new players to learn the blues!

[@Tanglewood78]

Brilliant content! Guys like you, make this guitar journey so good! Thank you for inspiring me.

[@IanLuckett]

But surely Dave Four notes makes this Jazz???? LOL. Seriously though, thanks for slowing it down, my poor old fingers can finally keep up. These videos, where you give your advice and experience explaining how you play, and by inference how we can all improve, are great, by the way, I sincerely hope you take a few more styles and dissect them in you own inimitable way. Oh, and you had me at BB KIng - my hero! 🎸😎👍

[@danr554]

A good tip for phrasing is to hold your breath when you start the phrase, then release when you end the phrase! If you play for too long you’ll go blue and fall over Im not responsible for any harm done

[@neilgordon7507]

Gutted that I’m sat at work watching this rather than being at home getting on with another great lesson! Another quality video Dave, keep em’ coming.

[@Volkert.]

Learned a lot from your john frusciante lessons. Incredible how much that series has influenced en improved my guitar playing. Definitely will watch these blues lessons as well, maybe it can finally give some structure to my blues playing. Thanks Dave :)

[@jeffbradley4744]

Following (and learning from) this series with ever increasing joy. Dave, it’s like being taught guitar by your best mate. Thank you so much!! 👌

[@runjogwalk]

Again the absolute best of the best blues guitar tutorial videos out there-!!!

[@RichardOfYork1967]

Minimalist blues really clicks with your tone Dave and that guitar is stunning I want one, thanks for the lesson 🙏

[@frankhemphill9904]

Great intro Dave that tone was a greeny blast from the past,brilliant m8 one of my favourite guitarists now getting a makeover from one of my favourite guitars on you tube,what more can we ask for you tubers

[@stephenwoodhouse7178]

Love this series Dave. It's helped my playing. 👍🏻 Thank you.

[@Sparedda_72]

another precious pearl from Dave! thanks again for these masterclasses

[@rogerYT69]

thank you for the cool blues lessons! incredible dave...

[@kevindavis1639]

I just love this series. Super teacher. Great sound. Learning so much and shredding the ends of fingers!. Thanks

[@5150show]

Peter Green was the master . Rest In Peace PG

[@bluessumlin...7067]

Spot on Mr S… Blues is letting the music breathe playing with feel… and the best way to play the Blues is when you got the Blues, love the Muddy Waters quote when asked about playing fast he said “ what’s the rush”!!!

[@emilianomaldonado_]

You're awesome like always, my Master.

[@christophervincent8420]

Man that is exactly what I am looking for in a lesson. Awesome David

[@stephenC71]

Most excellent vlog and this is definitely my kinda blues playing !!

[@secretdaisy6484]

Hey bud 👏. Another great video. Thanks so much. I just recently discovered your channel and am going back and watching your videos to catch 🆙 I really like your Oswald Strat 🎸✅. Be safe and keep posting. 👍☮️🌞🌟🎸🎵❤️

From a whisper to a scream, Mr Peter Green. Poetry and music lessons here haha

Love your work Dave great lessons. I get where you're coming from with the lake of confidence. It's debilitating at time. Anyway keep it up mate great work. Love Peter Green he's the best. Bert from Australia

Very very cool man! Exactly the lick i will practice tonight ! Awsome teacher 🤟🤟🤟

[@MickCheeseman]

Great video Dave. Loved it. 👍

[@youssefkasim7556]

Great playing as always. Keep it up man.

[@trevorburns7406]

Thanks for the lesson Dave

[@theresewalters1696]

Just like visual art where the spaces behind the lines speak as much. Breathing between the notes says something too. It is the difference between just playing technically and feeling it.

[@davidsillars3181]

Nice lesson oh great one 🙏 ❤

[@mojo6778]

I agree with Santrix, that Oswald is stunning!

[@shivansh4948]

Amazing

[@simondbarnes]

Another great lesson, cheers Dave :-)

[@nostro1001]

I'm gonna have to watch this closely tomorrow with guitar in hand. Unfortunately, it's getting a touch late to blast out the neighbours. 😂 Some awesome tips here Dave, thank you!!! 😎

[@lordlomanagh5966]

Green the man' slow and easy thanks Dave

[@thedavesimpson]

No worries. :)

[@mojo6778]

Totally enjoyed the 4th lesson, maybe next video is alternate ending. Would totally enjoy more blues artist style videos which you could do if it is just their style and not their actual licks.

[@tinkerwithstuff]

Gotta love those guitars that look like a fine piece of classic furniture. IMO much more of a looker than bright modern color finish. Btw: That blade switch is now down to 3924 of 4000 guaranteed operation cycles.

[@TheALyon8]

You're a fantastic teacher whether you think you are or not. :)

[@adrian_V99]

Dave is a fantastic teacher because he doesn't think he is one. I've had too many of the egomaniac type teachers. At end of the day it's you and you and your guitar. The original blues players did not , generally, understand theory.

[@TheALyon8]

@@adrian_V99 Agreed. That’s what makes him a beast!!! :)

[@ggherasim1806]

VERY COOL !!! CHEERS !!!

[@kevinhill6079]

Mr. Dave... should you ever start your own guitar commune, can I come? You're basically my guru as it stands.

[@Winterstorm858]

Nice, good use of the 4th position b minor

i love these types of series, next should be "how to play like johnny marr" if you like johnny ofc lol

[@alfiehenshall688]

Thats gonna be a tall order for a guitarist who learnt from the Blues gener ! 🎸😎

Cracking up at your lack of .....self efficacy (is it?) Aweseome Lesson, thanks for sharing

[@thedavesimpson]

Thank you. :)

[@dwaynejessome1728]

there's that beaut of a Strat!!

[@jcd13able]

Great lesson Dave. Watching it I realized I'm not that far off from BB king's style of playing. I have my own style which is more fluid and has more notes thrown in and I totally get BB king's way of playing. It's ok to have your own style as long as you pour feelings into it, that's what I think matters in the end.

[@frankhemphill9904]

sorry meant to say one of my favourite if not favourite guitarist on you tube,got excited missed a few letters lol

[@captainhowdy7847]

I improvised a blues solo for a friend's track, and wasn't happy with it. I tried to overlay two takes when I discovered it sounded much better if I just cut whole sections out and scrapped take 2 completely. I take my left hand off the fretboard now for as long as I dare now to stay minimal. Great playing as ever, Dave!

[@NERDOFUNK]

This! It is really good for people that overplay and try take for take, ive seen that...theres always great parts, so just scrap the rest of it :D

[@captainhowdy7847]

@@NERDOFUNK there's always the argument that I should have cut it all out...😂 more space = better!

[@adrian_V99]

Great lesson, Dave. "Let it breathe" is what many forget. Pauses are musical too.

[@danr554]

Honestly I really like this style. Dont give the listener too much, just give them little sweet tasty drips, dont spoil them!

[@Quentin687]

Could you do a video covering EQ pedals? After some deep diving online I’m comin Could you do a video covering EQ pedals? After some deep diving online I’m coming to grips with how versatile they are as a preamp, boost, shaping pedal, and more. I’d love to see a video from you on that topic You’ve already acknowledged this comment on an earlier video, but i wanted to post it again since you’re a busy man!

[@rainermanz1669]

Hi Dave, I'm working through your 4 blues lessons right now. Can I find your backing track anywhere? Your lessons are great, keep it up !! Best regards from Belgium, Rainer.

Great amp

If you go to part 1 its at the end. :)

@@thedavesimpson awesome. Thanks for reply 👏

[@tinkerwithstuff]

Nah, you can't be the worst teacher in the world - that was my first teacher, and she taught singing and looked nothing like you, with or without beard. If you want to narrow it down to guitar - I found this lesson to be nicely paced, something I might actually be able to follow after work and dinner :D

[@gratata.enchilada]

Dave do you have any tips on how to get a good vibrato, I work on it everyday and don’t seem to be improving, can never get that full control

[@thedavesimpson]

It takes a long time to evolve. It'll come.
