I've been teaching this stuff in my studio for years, since 1998 actually. This is absolutely first class teaching. BRAVO!!

You are like the Bob Ross of guitar instructors! So awesome that you go so slowly, thank you. ☺️

At 62 Finally learning my guitar, and I find I love the blues and I think I finally found an instructor I can follow, thanks for keeping it simple, to build on🎸🇺🇸

I think I just found a new hobby! Mainly because of your understanding of how to teach , most people that call themselves teachers can’t touch you! 🙏🏿Bless!

I've been searching my whole life for you Joe... You make it so obvious and easy to follow... What a teacher ...Thank you for being down to earth and available...

teasamonial joe,s guitar lessons has taught me a lot of good lessons, during lockdown my guitar kept me alive. you cant go wrong at joe murphys guitar lessons and insiration. steve blackmore liverpool this 7 part lesson should not be missed

I only picked up a guitar for the first time a week ago and I was lost in the see of guitar lessons but non that really was the sound and heading I wanted to go in. I have started with the first cords most people start of with Em Asus and G, C and D. all still very challanging and not as rewarding as I hoped. Today, I thought I would try some blues to see if the entry level technique is different and I found your video. Thank you a million. I was able to play somewhat along but most importantly you showed me how to enjoy the guitar. Sorry for the long message. I just wanted to show my gratitude and say thank you for the amazing intro into blues. It warms the souls.

Great course! Thanks for sharing!

This us my blues guitar teacher. No preamble, straight to the point and even tho I'm playing stuff way more advanced then this, I feel I need to re-educate myself esp with the blues as we got most of our music today from it.

Best ever ..." I can see clearly now" A great lessson explained so well ... I began the guitar at a late age 3 yrs ago, seen lots ... Thanks for your gift ...

Realy good teaching. I feel very motivated to follow this series. I been playing for 3 years and are 65 years old. Thanks from Sweden.

40+ years bass player here. Just got myself a cheap Burswood acoustic, and really enjoying your lessons. Hey it's only an extra 2 strings yeah ;) Thanks Joe!!

Amazing tutorial. ❤️🔥🙏Thank you for very detailed explanation. 🙏🙏🙏

Finally somebody who understands that it makes really sense to go slooooowly forward learning a new kind of music style on the guitar. I`m really happy with those two videos. If I would have an internet-banking-service I would pay for the last five lessons.

First 1:15 seconds, Is the best introduction to a training video, I have seen on KZfaq. Continue I shall

Brilliant stuff, Joe! This really starts with the very basics but sounds good right from the start.

The best on line tutor

🎼love how you patiently you broke that stuff down to people like me, who prefer starting in a comfortable followable speed thank you so much, Joe 🙃

Best blues guitar teacher ever. THANK YOU!! ❤️

First, I'm thrilled to have found your channel. There is so much material, it's overwhelming! But, your lessons are well done and easy to follow. I've been playing the classical guitar for nearly 4 years, and am sloppily transitioning to the acoustic (blues, primarily). With this video (and I'm sure the ones to follow), I can regimen my practice time with technique and then song playing. Your style of delivery is the best I've seen...better than even the "highly recommended" learn-to-play-blues guitar books w/CD. I realize this video is a couple of years old, but man is it valuable. Very nice guitar, by the way. Thanks!

Finally found a video teacher that makes a light go on ! Cheers Joe

You Sir. are the first one who is teaching with patience and clarity on my pace. A gift of god. Thank you.

Brilliant teacher brilliant lesson you explain every thing slowly clearly and top drawer thank you from rep of Ireland 😂👍☘

Have to say i have tried many at learning the blues and they go at it so full on . This is the best lesson to break into blues easily without starting the pinkie stretch. But playing blues right from the start' Jim

Well explained good for an absolute beginner's guide to blues which I am Thank you Joe 🎸👏👍

Nothing like learning your hands are too small to even play the basics thanks Joe!

Little late to the show, but this is brilliant. By far the best introduction to guitar blues, I've found. Thanks! A lot! :)

Thank you for the video. I am an older guy learning to play the guitar. This lesson is at the perfect pace for a person like me.

Hello Joe, I would like to thank you for the instruction with the relaxed tutelage. I also have Martin 000-28ec so it makes the lessons even better.

Love your lessons Jo!

He reminds me of the "not quite my tempo" guy. Superb lesson though.

Love that he shows the chord fingering. It helps.

And your Martin is gorgeous

exactly what I needed. thank you.

Thank You,Your lessons are perfect start how understanding music...

First real lesson for beginners. Other videos are too quick without solid basic 👍

Thank you sir 🙏🙏🙏 I am indebted to you for this lesson..No words to explain ..Thank youuuuuuu sir 🙏🙏

This is just great. Thank you Joe

Thanks Joe Great vid👏🏾👏🏾🙏✌🏼🌈

are you sure your index finger is only pressing down on only 2 strings? because for me I cannot do it without pressing down at least another one or two.

I love your explanation!

Seems like everyone I watch with a martin is a good teacher.

Hi Joe. I dig your teaching style. RIGHT! Thank you!

Watching this video I am not sure which skill of yours is grater. Is it the precise and melodic guitar skill or is it the immense amount of patience and exceptional teaching skill? Nonetheless they both work great in conjunction. Your contribution is highly appreciated. In addition to mine you deserve several more millions of subscriptions. Greeting from the Cayman Islands.

Thank you sir! I really enjoy and benefit from your teaching method. Cheers!

As a beginner teaching myself for 3 yrs now, find this lesson to my liking, and after watching it in it's entirety. I feel motivated to give it a go. I was counting 1, 2 long before you said it, an thanks for showing how to make a B, which I haven't learned also the new way of shaping E & A. Im curious to know tho, is on & off a Hammer motion?

well done!

Wow thank you so much for this lesson 🙏🏻😎..,love how you explain it, and it really helps me as a beginner..

Thanks Joe, just getting started playing guitar and always wanted to play blues, this has been a big help, thank you.

you are a good teacher! thank you

Brilliant lesson! Love the b7 idea.

Can't wait to get my fingers in shape so they don't hurt when I practice.

Thanks lot for breaking this down. Will be working on this for a week or more :-)

Thank you
