30 years of trying to understand this concept has been never so easily explained. It has been like being in a dark room and now I am standing in full sunlight. Thank you !

Best 10 minutes spent in years. Watch and learn, people!

This lesson is like a years worth of study and practice! Amazing. Thanks so much.

Wow, that was like an entire course on playing the blues in one video! Great lesson, Jamey!

This is one of the best lessons on playing the blues that I’ve seen. I love that you explain “why” things work, rather than “you just have to feel it”. I really like that you show how you can use different positions of familiar major and minor pentatonic patterns to play over the changes! Thank you so much!

I believe I just graduated from Berkeley school of music by watching this complete instructional video. Finally, someone who actually wants to teach… A++

This is where I lack proficiency in my blues solos when improvising … but not for long. Thank you so much Jamey for this very well explained approach to soloing properly with chord changes.

Thank you Jamey 🙏 this was probably the best blues lesson I've heard. You are a true educator. Concise, knowledgeable, humble and generous. I loved the way you were able to talk through what you were doing as you were playing. Without stuffing up any phrases!! 😂

Quality teacher !

This is a great lesson. Wish I had it 40 years ago! Thank you!

wow for literally the last year or so Ive been looking for a video that would expand my pentatonic blues world and finally here it is. seriously, this is nothing short of a 31mim master class. Ive watched hours of great instructors but none have presented such a focus'd, extensive and most of all useful presentation of the pentatonic scales relation to the 1 4 5. Ive paid for instruction that took longer to listen to but contained not even a third of what this lesson has. ok Im blathering apologies. This is just so great. Thanks is not enough to express my gratitude and you have a new sub. Now gotta get to applying this gold mine if instruction best part is this singular video is now my goto for next how many months 😇

Wow, Jamey, that's a blues masterclass in 30 min! I need to spend a full day with this video.

Thanks, this sums up my 40 years of noodling, playing by ear, finding and trying to remember the good notes in 30 minutes 😂

This is the easiest way to understand this. Most guitarist spend years in the weeds trying to figure this and and you’ve made it clear as a bell in ten minutes. Great channel. Make videos on triads next.

This is so rich and so dense that I can’t watch it in a single session! I’ll have to write a lot of stuff down, practice, revisit this video so many times! Thank you so much!

Of the thousands I have watched,, this is the best lesson I have ever seen on youtube.. Aside from that, your playing is inspiring to watch and hear. Will join you on Patron immediately. You deserve as much support as you can get.

I've been trying to figure out how to solo like this over the 12 bar blues. This lesson is going to help me out a lot. 👍👍

Dang! WOW! Yeah, I've basically needed this lesson my whole life! I'll probably watch it about 500 more times!!

I learned this trying to mimic the old blues legends that played alone like Robert Johnson, jamming while playing the chords. This is a great lesson!

You could learn this entire lesson note for note, and then play 80% of SRVs entire back catalog - great job

Man, there are several excellent channels with great stuff, but I got to tell you man, your teaching and playing style is so flavorful and the fluidity is remarkable. I’m thinking it’s coming out of your character, something special there. Thank you for the lessons.

For someone who played rhythm guitar for 45 years and never played lead or understood it though I knew the scales…this was like a revelation that I was blind but now I see. One of the best lessons on this subject I have seen on KZfaq since there has been a youtube. At age 67 it makes me want to do some “noodling.”

This is one of the best guitar lessons I’ve had in a while, thanks so much for this!

Best blues lesson on the internet! Thank you so much

Excellent video Jamey. Precisely every step I have been hoping to see in 1 video. Thank you

Top quality lesson. Wish I had known this stuff 10 years ago!. Very easy to understand

Just discovered this channel. I've been playing since 1991 and can always use advanced instruction to push out of the ruts I've fallen into. This is a perfect channel for that.

Deep insights into the blues. And super fun to watch. Thanks much!

Jamey you really are a talent. This is just great. I have been playing this stuff for years and not understanding why. Your lessons just make things so clear. Good job man !

Thank you This is the key to composing interesting solos instead of just throwing lick together, one note can make a significant difference to a solo.

Sometimes going back to basics is exactly what is required. Sweet.

Thanks! I've been playing 35 years, understand basic music theory, and occasionally near figuring this stuff out on my own, but prioritized other life stuff and never really locked it in. This was a wonderful stitch-it-all-together session for me and inspired focused practice for the first time in ages. I look forward to busting out these ideas when playing with others.

Good lesson. It's good to take viewers/students out of just "pentatonics" and bring them to playing the changes with the 3rds and b7ths. I have always thought it is easier to just envision the chord tones (shapes/arpeggios) of each dominant 7 chord and just play around those chord tones stressing pentatonics and bends/licks to make it "bluesy", or intervals, chromatics, or enclosures to make it more "jazzy". I enjoyed your lesson.

Love the way you broke it down. I’ve been working on finding all this intervals but also seeing the majors and relative notes but not quite understanding until I watched this video. Thank you

Thank you very much! all your lessons are awesome, this one is really outstanding!

This lesson is unique Mr Jamey, thank you for all the knowledge you shared with the community ❤

Really an informative video, I so appreciate the no nonsense approach, no silly or stupid jokes that just waste time and you really are a knowledgable and talented player. Thank you so much. PROFESSIONALISM!

One of the best lesson on what to play over all the chords. Thank you.

Please do another lesson like this bro please, this is gold.

What a command of the fretboard and tones ! Awesome 👍🏻

Dude, I've seen a million of these YT blues guitar vids and this blew my mind. Makes total sense. I had so much fun playing along, I had to keep rewinding! Love the Albert King hack. Subscribed for sure

It is eye-opening. You've put it so crystal clear in this video. Thank you!

Wow! I'm glad I clicked on this video. I could help noticing the wealth of examples to illustrate your lesson. A true mini master class! 👍 Thank you 🙏

This is one of the most useful and comprehensive blues lessons on playing the changes I have ever seen. Thank you so much!

This is great stuff for getting out of typical pentatonic ruts… I love hearing the sound of chords changing in someone’s lead lines . The beauty of the guitar is once you understand a concept in a certain key, u can plug it in all over the neck in any key .

Thank you Jamey. What a fantastic approach to teaching a practical way to hit chord tones. And, so great that you to name the notes. Too many on-line lessons name fret position and not notes which limits the ability to move positions and find those great tones all over the fretboard. I've only just stumbled upon your channel and I'm very much looking forward to checking out more of your lessons now that I'm a subscriber.

This is an incredibly informative lesson ... just playing the root note at the chord change will easily improve the blues playing of anyone. Thanks.

Explains a lot. This was the pivital lesson that has revealed the mystery of blues soloing for me. Thank you Jamey

Well done dude! Amazing explanation, exploration and execution! Thank you very much!

You are a truly professional guitarist. We need more of this kind of information.

You’re an excellent teacher. I wish there was a course where I can collect all these small ideas how to improvise over typical rock, blues chord progressions. Then maybe an advanced part to play over jazz and pop progressions. I’d sign up to such course 100%.

Finally the lesson I’ve been looking for! Explains so much I’ve been struggling with for ages. Brilliant!

Massive thanks Jamey, this is eye opening for me!! Defoe gonna go back and check the chord lesson. Your teaching style is spot on

THANK YOU!!! You just unlocked the sound I’ve been looking for.

By far one of the best blues phrasing instructional videos I have come across!

Oh man! What a great lesson. Right in the pocket for where I’m at with my playing. A proper stretch, but fully intelligible. I’m so glad I stumbled upon this. I dig your teaching style. Well done. I’ll be back for more.

Great lesson. I have been doing a deep dive back into blues right where I started from.This is perfect been driving with my ears in the dark using slurs and avoiding notes at certain times but not knowing what I'm doing or why. I've knowen for a while I need to sort out what I'm playing over the 5 chord and dial my ears in,think having more knowledge is going to create more clarity and freedom in my playing. Yeah the Freddy King licks I have been hearing and wondering how he sounds so sweet. I do struggle with learning. I think you have a great teaching style I really get it. When the student is ready the teacher will appear. Thank you will find a way to contribute. Regards Rob.

Hands down the best and most important blues lesson on YT. Thankyou sir 🙏

It take me years to learn these, and you put in a open YT lesson…. You don't hide the game 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks for a brilliant blues lesson. It's what I've been looking for for a long time.

This is brilliant, Thankyou, all these years, now I have something to go on. This is why I never sounded quite right. I cant thank you enough. Bless you.

Great collection of ideas!

I think this might just be the single best twelve bar blues soloing lesson on KZfaq. I absolutely love the way you have chapterised it into sections of ideas, and explained why the ideas work ... allowing for translation to other keys. Subscribed. I would love see a similarly structured and detailed lesson with your presentation of minor blues soloing (ie the chords of the backing track are all minor rather than major). Thanks!

Veramente molto chiaro e ùtile. Ho visto migliaia di lezzioni su youtube e la tua è la più chiara e la migliore spiegata. Grazie. Alberto- Genova .Italia

My first exposure to your lessons. Bravo! Well organized, structured, and demonstrated. No BS, packed full of proper content. A fan already!

Jamey, this is a tremendous lesson! There is so much here to add to our feel for playing the Blues… It’s almost overkill, because there’s so much, but I’d rather have too much, that way I can break it down slowly… I put this lesson in my ‘saved files’. THANK YOU! 🎶🎸

So helpful! Thank you sir

Thanks so much for this Jamey! Excellent lesson. Now I can see the next rungs on the ladder.

Blown away by your teaching skills, tone and guitar chops! This is life changing information for me - Subscriber for life! Fantastic video!

Really helpful Jamey - thanks!

Awesome master class! Please, bring more videos like these.

Wow this is such a good lesson. Your explanations for why things work and your playing are both amazing! I'm already itching to get working on this after work. Subbed and will be watching from now on

This is blues guitar GOLD! My goodness the amount of great info in such a short time! Very impressive! Thank you so much!

Brilliant lesson. Thank you Jamey...

Thanks Jamey. Awesome lesson. Loving it.👋

Excellent video, so much relevant information in it, thank you.

Oh man. So clear. Information put so simple. 10/10

Great lessen Jamey! You covered everything we need to know about the Blues. Thank you so much!

Every once in awhile, some one comes along, that makes sense to me,! Thanks 👍

Brilliant lesson explained so well. I had to subscribe.

Hi Jamey, I really enjoyed how you broke all this down and how it will help me with my playing.

This video is seriously great. Thanks

Really well explained! Excellent teacher.

I've been watching this for like an hour, and I'm only 10 minutes in, as I've been playing along and rewinding it to play bits over & over I've always understood the theory, but never found a video to practice along within detail that actually clicks. Thanks Jamey, this unlocked aheap of ideas.

One of the best videos I've seen ,on playing the blues

Best blues lesson out in KZfaq ever!! 🔥🔥🔥

Great video. I've been playing for decades ripping the pentatonics, but playing over the changes is new to me and it's the skill I want to master the most right now. This video is a huge step in that direction. Thanks!

Good lesson thank you! Reminds me of Keith Wyatt - Rockin The Blues lessons, another great teacher…Merry Christmas all.

Terrific Lesson, Jamey. Useful and understandable. Thank you.

Fantastic teacher. Thank you Jamey!

Great job, Jamey, very much appreciated, I will listen to this video, several more times!

Wow! Praise God! Thank you God bless

Excellent lesson Jamey. Thank you.

I love your content because you pack so much value into each video. Thanks man 👍

Absolutely phenomenal video!!! I can shred, hop back and forth between major/minor pentatonic, add the major 3rd and the 9th, outline the arpeggiated chord shapes with flow and groove interject major/minor pentatonics/blues/ionian-lydian-mixolydian-dorian-aeolian(usually in that order because I can get it to flow smoothly from one mode to the next...) BUT... the way you explain it seems so much less complicated and just a matter of simply playing the changes with simple and easy to play riffs that sound amazing and easy to follow for the listener, and you always know where you're at. I'd get lost in the complexity of what I was doing far too often... lose track of the chord changes when I start shredding and inevitably end up making poor/mindless note/phrasing decisions that I made work, but I'd lose sight of the point... play tasty chops that sound great in that particular point of the progression and keep the flow of the song by playing the changes!!! I rarely have the chance to play blues unless I'm playing an open mic/open jam and that's rare nowadays... of course I have my "go-to" chops for major blues rock(a la Allman Bros) or minor bluesy rock(a la Zeppelin's Since I've Been Loving You) or straight blues, funk, jazzy blues, etc. but I have been over complicating everything for way too long!!! And even with the compliments, I'd only be 70% to 90% satisfied with my performance. I really need to listen to more blues by blues greats instead of the rock greats play their rocked out version of the blues when one of their few bluesy songs is played on the radio or in my playlist... a half hour playing along with this by ear and copping licks, and I sound better than I have since I actually put effort into just playing the changes with arpeggios and major/minor pentatonic/blues notes interjected to break up the monotony and then shredding pentatonic/blues licks thrown in towards the end and then bring it back home with arpeggiated chords again to end the songs... that only works for so long. But now I feel like I have everything in my bag of tricks that I had accumulated over the years and I know exactly what/when to throw them in!!! That's awesome!!! Like I said, PHENOMENAL VIDEO!!! Thank You!!!

Excellent, I'll be running this lesson many times, thanks Jamey.

I just watch it over and over hoping to absorb this valuable information. THANK YOU!

This is one of the best video on playing the blues. Thanks

Once again thank you great teacher , there is so much inspiration to take in a few minits ,

This is something I kind of felt instinctively in my playing, but really helpful to hear it articulated like this. Genuinely useful stuff!! Don’t usually subscribe to these channels but this one for sure.
