Only 3 minutes in and I know this video is going to be a reference video I come back to often!

[BJ-fjjw]

It's like you're giving away the blues in gold bars, gift wrapping it and handing it to us with a smile. I've been playing for a spell, but STILL this video I find has tremendous value. Thank you!

[badriver]

I've got to say. You have taught me so much! Self taught since 12-now 72. Learning how to marry the notes to the scales and fretboard-game changer for this old ax grinder! Peace

Just wanted to say "Thank you" for a GREAT lesson. Been playin almost 30 years, recently got into Blues Licks, and building my "vocabulary" of Go-to licks, and I can't tell you HOW MUCH I appreciate you keeping them ALL in the SAME key! This has been WAY MORE EFFECTIVE (for ME) than 100 licks ALL in DIFFERENT keys. I finally began to see the FUNDAMENTAL things in ALL Blues Licks, and you can properly show MAJOR and MINOR and how to get "in and out" of them...

The BEST guitar Blues tutorial I have ever seen. Coming from a sax player, retired music teacher, still active musician. Bravo!

[kennethbulmer]

Best on line tutor I've ever seen..explains everything perfectly...brilliant guy...

[stevenwilliams]

just what i was looking for! some licks for blues so i can see how they are constructed so I can learn / expand / have a play etc :)

[tahoo]

I joined. I'm 72 (played since I was 22) with 3 acoustic guitars and a Les Paul on layaway.

Obviously, your 20 licks is right up my alley with a Les Paul coming within a week.

after 60 years of playing keyboards, in jan 23 im going back to guitar. i know chords and patterns, but i remember being weak on picking out good leads. i can duplicate what you play on my keyboard BUT my goal is to re learn this on my guitar. thanks for your video.

[michaelembry]

You are so easy to watch, you are a great teacher. Been playing 53 yrs. In Southern Rock bands, with great musicians, some you would know, and others you wouldn’t, each great in their own way, but I truly enjoy your stuff, you will make players better, and beginners enjoy learning. Look forward to watching your other videos.

Eye opener, got up to lick 8#.
Will be revisiting.
Love that guitar.

[dananthony]

I had that guitar in 93. That was one of the greatest guitars I’ve ever played. I have a classic now but that guitar was so perfect.

[nickday]

On the surface a lot of licks that sound great there and easy to play with practice. Dig a little deeper and there's an awful lot there in terms of understanding the positions of the scale on the neck and using the major and minor. I can get so much out of this. Thank you.

[jimlynn]

You seem to anticipate my learning needs and goals. What a great teacher.

[Terrysoddy]

That’s some of the best blues and rock licks you could possibly learn, great job man

[richardshepler]

Somehow I stumbled across this lesson but I’m glad I did. Even though I’m late to the party as I see this was created two years ago, I’m having a blast with it.

[dmartyair]

This is an absolute treasure trove for new and novice players!!!
Cudo's Rob!
