6/29/23 update!
I can't believe this little video is still going and GOING! Guys, thanks for watching - it means a lot. I've 500+ videos but this was one of the first and I didn't even originally make it for KZfaq. I know it looks like it was made in 1984 instead of 2012, believe me. But the content is still very cool.
Please join me on Saturdays at 5pm ET for my free KZfaq Guitar Q+A livestream. Just text your questions about learning the guitar and I'll answer as many as I can in about 2 hours. If you can't make it on Saturdays, the livestreams are available to watch afterwards and soon I'll be making them into podcasts as well. I look forward to your questions!
And if you're serious about getting better at the guitar, check out my website www.song-bike.com. Lots of great content and PDFs - stuff NOT AVAILABLE on KZfaq.
I do online lessons too. Email me : info@song-bike.com
If you've subscribed, THANKS! I'm going to be posting a lot more videos based on your requests and great emails. THIS VIDEO HAS A BONUS AT THE END ! Read on...
This lesson will get you cookin' on The Classic Blues Riff. There's no better name for it! It's easy to understand, easy to play and instantly recognizable. Add it to your bag of tricks and bring it out next time someone hands you a guitar.
But later in the video is a Lead Guitar Mini-Lesson that complements The Classic Blues Riff. You're going to want to master it, too. The skills you'll learn here will get you jamming with another guitar player quickly and easily. Just watch and learn ( and practice!!)

Hi Jonathan. I'm a 71 year old music lover in the UK who has had various guitars since I was 16, and have 'had a go' every so often over the years without really progressing. I bought a ukulele about 5 years ago and have joined various classes and groups, progressing to a reasonable level, and playing often in public , but really wanted to learn the guitar properly as well. I'm inspired by, and have learned enormously from, your many YT videos, and I think I've learned more in the last 3 days than I have in the 55 intervening years! I now have around 19 ukuleles and 6 guitars, including a cigarbox guitar I built myself. I feel like I just need to tell you how much difference you are making to my playing ability (and my life!). You are awesome. I just wish you had been around in about 1973!!

Brother I couldn't have said it better. Amazingly that kind of bull shit is running rampant throughout the Tube.. I see it all over with no rhyme or reason. Some people just have to try and share their pathetic negative attitude with the world. As if there isn't enough of that type of BS in the world already. And unfortunately I don't see it changing any time soon, if at all....

Teach my bredren.the whites have a hard time giving credit to the orgin of the blues coming out of the slaves in the cotton fields having the blues over the violent treatment and being treated and classified as animals by the white man. They think that they can hide from the most horrendous treatment of all time ever inflicted on humans.to Die and leave this earth would have been a sweeter death than to live life for years to build this country under these conditions and never to this day be compensated economically like they have done for other groups like the Japanese killed by Americans and the small country of Isreal constantly being taken care of by americans.the Viet cong helped after the war.and many others today while the Black Man is intentionally being over looked.

Your hair is of a normal length and colour, there are no visible tattoos or piercings, there are no attempts to be a rock n roll dude and you don't show off. You are a great teacher thank you. Just one suggestion could you ring a loud bell every 10 minutes . It should be loud enough to wake a sleeping senior who finds the the combination of computer screen and concentrating on the lesson is guaranteed to send him to sleep. i

Hey Jonothon , stumbled across your acoustic guitar lessons this week .. I am a 56 year old guy I can play some basic chords although not very smooth ... having watched your tutorial video D C G tricks I felt that I had progressed hugely .. I was having problems getting from one chord to another and my fingers were getting all mixed up ... I love the way you explain everything over and over with an understanding of how alien it can be to novices .. thank you so much !!!! steve .

I have to say, you are a great teacher. I`m a german guy who lives now 9 years in Norway and I play the bluesharp since 3 years. Now I try to learn guitar. I started to built my own cigarbox guitar and than I`d been interessted to learn all this chords and grips. But classic guitar is hard to learn because of this straight rules, I love the blues special from the earlies . The way you teaching it is perfect . No rules, find the best way to feel comfortable, fits perfect to me. I think thats the way all these great blues musicians learns about music. No rules, have fun and enjoy music. That`s it what is all about it!

Just watched my first lesson in its entirety. And of course, played along. A little beyond beginner but nonetheless always fun to go back to the roots. What's great is we end up discovering and doing things for years not knowing what they are until someone like you comes along and tells us and we're so happy we've been on the right track all along. Looking forward to many more lessons. Thanks for the great lesson. Not everyone is a good teacher but you're a natural. Peace & Blessings.
