A little about me:

Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his YouTube channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

1 I really appreciate these simple little tricks. They really make the transition to actually playing so much easier for beginners like me. Like putting your toe in the water before you jump in! Thanks Sean!!

The main thing is to play incredible rhythm guitar, everyone else will be fanging to play their solo, and impress you with their new overdrive pedal, if you focus on chord substitutions and effective rhythm, some lovely smooth double stops, b7b9 and half diminished chord work, and look like you don't care about solo time, you will steal the show.

Sean is always up to date with what is the people's key, never trusted anyone else about that.

Lol.. "ignore your turn at lead, pretend you didn't notice."

My brother was killed in a blues jam so this is no laughing matter..

[RCSmiths]

These blues videos are the shots towards the salty blues indeed! Great video man!

[Dark_Souls_]

Sean, really like your videos. You always teach so clearly. When I graduate I’m gonna buy you some camera gear, you deserve much higher production value

[acousticknights]

(the following message should be read in the voice of Hulk Hogan)

Really solid video! Keep doing what you do brother

[danielrobus]

Sitting at my desk, trying to justify watching a video of someone enjoying the blues whilst I should be working on a marketing plan to take a new product out there. Damn, Sean, you live the dream. Have a superb day. Oh, and thanks for the 1, 4, 5 again.

[NoahOD_]

Love the tone and look of that guitar my dude. Gotta pick myself up a hollow body soon...

[regham]

Great lesson - helped with a greater lesson of finding the right chords to jam with.

[TheFeelButton]

When in doubt start playing Mustang Sally...should buy you between 14 and 70 minutes to find your groove 😴😴😴

[italianbeans]

Damn as a beginner this just opened up the world of blues

[douglaslay]

I miss the days of the all GA-3 Sean Daniel Chanel. Nice new guitars and I do understand, and even though I am mostly a Martin man, I do long for the awesome moderately priced but outstanding sound of the GA-3.

[gabygarcia]

how do you look like Chris Pratt and Paul Rudd at the same time?

[bijankhadembashi]

i hear "something like Olivia", thanks for the video man

[johngraves]

1 like some blues music. 2 be able to count to 4. 3 come in on the 1 ( that is the beat y'all). 4 get in where you fit in * only play what you are comfortable with playing and hang back otherwise) ...boom you just survived a blues jam

[tspy]

Old school Timberwolves T?? Love it! Unless you're wearing it ironically. Love and support from Minnesota

[lolthatshilarious]

Thanks Sean, great stuff as always. Much appreciated!

[GRude]

Rockin the T-wolves shirt... you from Minnesota, Bro?
