I've been playing daily since about Christmas and this lesson came up just at the right time. I spent about an hour pickin through all 10 lick in the lesson. I'm really good at the minor pentatonic but i don't have any mojo, just a scale. I got all these licks played fairly easily except #10 but I'll get it. I'm planning on going over this video daily until I get all these licks down pretty good. Thanks!
Hello first time watching your video. I’m a beginner guitar but for two years I retired about three years ago and basically learning guitar on my own. It’s a journey and not easy. Hope you have more videos for beginners like me. Thank you.
Thanks
FIRST again
2.43... the way that bend has impact on most guitarist faces...😊😊😊 #IJustLoveThatFeelin

THANKS MAMMMMM SÃO PAULO BRASIL
Hey Players! Like these licks? Check out the original: th-cam.com/video/-Hv57kWpFdU/w-d-xo.html
Hey players! I just released Part 2 of this video (Clapton style). Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/sHyz6pdwnio/w-d-xo.html
You are a awesome teacher Ty
You the best at teaching licks. 👍 Thank you! More licks!
Been following on Spotify for a long time. You've taught me a lot! Thank you! 🙏
Thank you so much for doing this video. I have trouble with the way most videos are put together, but this video really gels with me. The only thing i would ask if you wouldnt mind showing us what effects pedals and settings you are using to get your tones/sounds.
The band Dirty Honey has practically the same riff as #1 in one of their songs. Cool. (edit: "rolling 7's"?)
Great lesson with just the right amount of theory.😊
That is a great and fun progression!
This is a great lesson! Will definitely implement this idea! Thank you!
You are welcome, @morrismottmusic Thanks for watching!👍🎸
Why bother with all the chords, keys, and scales? Why can’t guitarists just play the notes on the tabs?
Awesome Lee! Great lesson!
Thanks, Jim! Glad you liked it!
This is a great idea, but, sorry, the reverb sound barely comes through on the recording, unless you set up for a very long reverb or crank up the dwell. (Or it’s just my ears or something? ) The reverb in the advertising on TH-cam and Bias FX stuff is clearly audible to me, though. Your mic seems to have nice reverb for voice, unless I’m mistaken. Are you playing your amp through the mic, or directly to your recording device.
Thanks Lee cool lesson on double stops. 😊
Learning is like water dripping into a bucket, drip by drip the bucket will fill with water, little by little you learn, one day your learning ‘bucket’ will become full, the moral being , small steps enable you to eventually walk a long way, just takes time.
Happened to stumble across this love what you had to say it really gave me a lot to think about thank you
Quit talking about me. Lol. Another one that resonates brother. Real talk.
Yep distraction and jumping various lessons but need to stop and focus practice on thing for the week
you sir are an incredible educator- 🙏
Thank you!
I don't care about the why, i just want to play blues....thanks for the licks
Great lesson. Thanks so much !
Bloody good ! Thank you.
Lick 2 or the BB King box is pattern 3 not pattern 2 in the minor pentatonic. Which overlaps with pattern 4 in the major pentatonic. BB king and others use that spot to mix minor and major. Pattern 2 of the minor pentatonic is the Albert King box and referred to as the house of blues.
Thank you very much. Your teaching VDO is very helpful
You are welcome @sudhiwatburusphat2042 !
Lesson link doesn’t work…😩
Here's the link. th-cam.com/video/aenrWu8c19I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=S_nIMsTU2RPVOLJ6 They were working for me, but I'll keep an eye out.
Simply explained combaining theory with practice. Thanks for sharing:)
Glad it was helpful! @Gitarapiotr
Nice post. Great teaching Lee ! Thank you
Very welcome, @piperofsimms. It's great to see you here!
Your awesome thank s
You are! Thanks for playing along! @jerrycase4584
Great!! But how do i play it in a song anyone have tips?
Nice dude there, esentual for at least the blues 👍 anyway great lesson but there's no short cuts I'm afraid it's gona take a lot of practice I know it sucks but has to be done
Thanks @malcolmedwards296 !
Loving your videos lee , it's so much better to understand than just copy someone note for note , great lesson thanks for sharing
My pleasure! Thanks for watching! Keep me updated on your progress @skipjacktunainacan
I love the Les Paul in your intro!! Why? Because I have the same model!! lol.
@rockerbuck967 They are great, aren't they! Not the fanciest guitar but it plays and sounds fantastic!
That was a useful lesson. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! @bonzo1928
really gotta figure out my guitar oneday
This is an awesome lesson gonna get started on this
Great to hear, @iananslow494 Thanks for playing along!
Keep up the great work. I really like your approach to explaining without getting too into theory!
Thank you!
Thanks for a very helpful video!
You are welcome, @gregsterc5294. Thanks for watching!
"A three word letter,Yes." A break has been cut for this mistake. Good talk. I'm about to play what I consider a "pro level' gig a month from now. Something I haven't done in a long time. This whole confidence thing does indeed come up. I'm going for it. Thanks for the wisdom!
Where were you when MEL BAY WAS TEACHING ME THE WRONG NOTES? Wish we had videos in the fifties,sixties.Your doing a fine job for starters.
Playing is a skill.Teaching how to play is a very difficult,because so much depends on communication ability of the teacher.I think you are a rare commodity,you teach as well as you play.This is something that makes you complete as a guitarist and a decent person willing to contribute to your fellow musicians,For this you have my deep respect,and thanks!
Well put together and clear. Thanks
Great blues lesson Lee! I'm one step closer to graduating from lifetime advanced beginner because of your well laid out, and easy to follow foot steps.
That's fantastic @bulr24! Keep me updated!
