Great playing! 8th bar seems to be in 5/4 tempo. Is that on purpose?

@BluesGuitarInstitute 7 жыл бұрын

+Ilkka Luukkonen no, but it felt right so I left it in there. Definitely an error though. I will say that in a lot of old blues the changes are a little less predictable than we're used to now. I'd like to say that was the reason but it was just a good!

I come from a piano background and been searching for years for lessons in this style for a guitar. You are a great teacher, what i particulary like is that you play in normal tempo, then slower but still in tempo and when moving from bar to bar you are reminding the context from the previous one. Thank you for playing in tune, in tempo and not hiding the theory behind. Finally a real musician to teach guitar on the web! Need to subscribe.

@jasonleftwich6265 7 жыл бұрын

Totally agree. It's still difficult for a beginner like me, but I am making progress -- you have a great way of breaking the lesson down in pieces I can digest. Almost ready for the A part!

Superb, some of the others show you tons of electric Guitar Pyrotechnics - but this is what every Guitarist should know before anything else. It does sound awesome and is a Must for anyone interested in Roots Music. Many 'Van Halens' might charge around the Fretboard, others just show off, but this is where Clapton, Page, Hendrix and Alvin Lee started. The Lessons are instructive, clear and open to that essential Element of Blues playing - improvisation. You can adapt what is shown here to your own Style.

@joelee5875 5 жыл бұрын

David Lambert, what you say is true but make no mistake, those guys "show off" also and I will mention that one should know how to or at least learn how to show off and don't make more of it than it is to show off., time and time again I've been in bands where it comes naturally to some, and seen people that would almost have a heart attack at the very idea... "different strokes for different folks, said the man who kissed the cow".

Sounds terrific. It is worth noting that if you’re confused by the counting, it’s because bar 6 has 5 beats. There’s one extra beat as bar 6 arrives back at the E chord. then we start the bar 3 and 4 pattern again for bars 7 and 8. A lot of old school blues artists would have unusual counting like this, so it’s authentic to the Delta Blues/Robert Johnson sound but potentially confusing to students.
