That lightness in your playing and your teaching... Thank you so much! Axel from Germany
I’ve been playing competently for 40yrs … but this simple stuff sounds SO good and tasteful… it just highlights that I really know very little.
Great stuff.
Thanks!
Thanks
12 minutes of incredible tips and information. It never ceases to amaze me just how much I gain from watching and listening to your posts.
I like the relaxed playing and sound, very clear and best blues-tutorial ever. Jack is a great guitarist and teacher, cause praxis and theorie fits together. Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany!
As a 71 just playing again, I am AMAZED at your vocal delivery explaining things. I’m absolutely crazy about deep grabbing blues. Your intro is a perfect example of smooth and perfection. I’m following you to the grocery store. Thank you.
Nice my friend 🎉😂
No comment. Thank You so much for what You are doing, Jack!
There is a ton of under the hood information about chord structure/application here. Now I have a chance to understand the function of all those disparate blues chords I've been playing for decades. Thank You Jack!
@official_account..... I’ve reported your message as spam. Get a life and do something legal.
So eloquently put. As a sax player, I love improvising over the blues and it can be really hard to wind it up as you get so into it 😁👍
Quite simply one of the best guitar lessons I've seen on TH-cam.
This is my favorite guitar channel.
love the advice on cues between musicians. so critical - if you don't know it will make you look like a rookie.
"It's common that the singer will queue the end of the band" - otherwise known as the Yoko Ono effect.
Thanks for another great lesson, Jack.
LOL - great minds think alike.......
It’s ‘cue’ in this context - not ‘queue’. As in give them a cue. You’re saying the singer will make the band stand in line
Thanks, that was beautiful! You should make a slow blues course
Knowing these heads, and tails are SO crucial. Simple, but not easy to master under the gun. Thanks for the layout!
As smooth as silk. Great touch, insightful teaching.
Very cool! You did a great job making the singer and rhythm melodies clearly audible. It made the call/response lines much easier to hear and understand. I've really been trying to listen more, and just imagine what I would want to play, so this was a perfect lesson for me.
Excellent lesson. Thanks from Chicago!
first thing before you get onstage, don’t forget your cold beer , always a winner ….after you can play your soul out 🍻.
Great feel and nice tone sir!
Thanks Jack! I watched this then purchased your TrueFire course - it’s exactly what been searching for.
Your style and pacing are perfect for what I’m trying to achieve. Really looking forward to taking these ideas to the studio. Keep up the great work 🎸
1st class lesson, thank you! Intro 2:29 , Chord Progression 6:26 , Embellishment and Phrasing 8:51 , Vocal Ending 11:15
As always, great lesson! If you could make a lesson with more variations on intros and endings, I would be immensely grateful. Thank you Jack for sharing your knowledge!
Don’t know how I missed this one but it’s great!!! Thank you!!!
Love your chill and laid back vibe.
Thank you😊
Thank you! A Major
Thanks Jack for explaining something that seems simple but still requires some thought!
You are so tasteful man. And a really good teacher.
You made me playing right away, bro!
Thank you a lot.
I am an intermediate ukulele player but watching great guitar teachers like you.
Because there is no much things like yours on ukulele.
I bought a use like a joke and it "joked" me )
Your courses are straight to the core without any magic balls it it gives a boost to try it right away.
I am glad I "met" you in the net )
Thanks again.
Great lesson , great style
Great lesson Jack. Endings really trip me up.
This is legit awesome.
awesome lesson. thanks Jack!
Me encantan sus vídeos. Siento no entender si idioma para aprender de usted tanta música como transmite. Muchas gracias
Love it..gotta get on it..have a brand new tele in the case..played twice..great vid! Cheers.P
Great value, great teacher. Thanks and blues on 👍🏻
Really enjoyed this.
What a great lesson! It's just what I needed. Wonderful playing and well explained. I immediately purchased your Truefire tasty blues rhythm course, because tasty it is! Thanks
Thanks Jack, really cool and well explained👍
That ending as simple but clean!
@officialaccount... seems really official
Excellent advice very tasteful!
Great stuff Jack.! 👍🏼❤️
Wow, just watched it....what a lot of info....thanks mate!
So good .. 👏🏼👏🏼🔥 thank you
Fantastic practical information, thank you sir
Wow, cheers from Canada....
Really appreciate this!
Great stuff !
Thank you Jack. That is an awesome lesson,so much great info.
Very nice and tastefully played
thank you very much!
As always Jack, very generous. Thank you.
Great work Jack.... love it!
Thank you very much for this
Thanks! Really helpful
Let me buy you a coffee, Jack.
Made it plenty of room for others that I think makes it sound better than to busy very professional someone tried to make out of was bad to you on one comment before but I was wondering if you could hear the louder than normal notes that I heard anyway I think we are all learning to become better polished musicians peace Jack thanks for your help from the heart❤🎸☮️
Thank you! Perfect.
Thanks for such a great lesson.
Really useful video, thank you!
Thank you
Love it!!
I appreciate the content of this video! I’m guessing that a a lot of the TH-cam audience that watch these types of instruction videos do not or have not played up on stage but aspire to. So hearing how things work up on stage or with other musicians is super educational!
I'm definitely going to subscribe.. thank you very much for the knowledge I really dig it
This is great stuff Jack. Refresher for some, and valuable info for others. Thanks Jack!
smooth dude
Thanks Jack enjoy your lessons. Good stuff.
Fantastic!
A good structure lesson…👍
My wife was listening and asked if that was Chris Pine teaching guitar. You do sound like Captain Kirk a little. Thanks for the tips BTW.
Great lesson as always, Jack! Thanks so much.
I liked you blues style do you have the backing tracks?
♥you are wonderful...Thanks
Hi Jack, like your teaching style, mild manor, soft talking, deliberate and thorough. I know you play all styles but I see how good of a Jazz player you are😊.
May ask your help to identify a pretty chord I use at the end of a slow song featuring Major 7’s. At the end of a run up the neck I play this chord followed by a Major 7th:
So, at the 3rd fret, bar the 6 and 5 string with thumb, at the 2nd fret bar the 3 and 4 string with the first finger, then bar the 1 and 2 string with ring finger? Inside of that chord is a C 9th then has an A added with the first finger. So would it be
a C9th+6? I know it’s not a Sus chord because the E third is there. Thanks for your consideration. I can’t find your Tip Jug on your site to help you? Keep up the great lessons

Really helpful Jack. Thanks a lot.
Lots of good stuff here. Thanks Jack 👍
First time here it was a great tutorial. Can you recommend a Backing Track for practice?
That would be use especially using the same chord progression on the turnaround
Nice video, like always. Thanks a lot! Got a little cold? If yes...bless you!
Great lesson, Jack. Thanks. Do you mind divulging what strings you use on your Telecasters? Again, thanks.
Have you done a backing track we can practice to ?
Jack love this. Looking forward to the Patreon update.
Vrey nice
Having trouble finding this lesson on Patreon. Is there an easier way to pinpoint these lessons on the Patreon site?
Subbed
❤❤❤❤❤
Superb, quite intellectual explication of blues guitar playin... However, I would have loved to have heard a 'slow burn' from you with just the right amount of distortion. I can hear it now a little... Very positive comment! Maby you didn't have time to delve into the minutiae of theory and a lot of other stuff... BB would tighten (louder mainly) the band a notch and just grab your heart with a slow burn; almost a religious experience; I never heard nothin like it from anyone else... RIP (So help me God... it's not on recordings; you can't/couldn't record whatever it was; life changing experience for me...)
Thanks, Jack. What a talented guitarist and instructor. I was so interested in what you had to say I joined your Parteon. Because I am new to Patreon and your channel, how long after a video do you post the tabs/etc. on Patreon? I'm not bugging you, just want to know when I should check back - or maybe its already there and I am just not seeing it. In any event, thanks again.
It will be up in 2 days. It takes me a bit to get everything together. Thanks for the support!
What's that last chord you are hitting to wrap it up? A7 6 flat9?
A13
How do I find your patreon page
Many singers have indeed 'cued the ending' of the band LOL - the dreaded LSD..... jus kidding - good lesson and killer tone as always.....
Thanks I just dropped into dd and grabbed my slide to lead with you 🪰
.....THANKS, FOR THIS LESSON. HOWEVER, I REALLY WISH THAT YOU WOULD BEGIN EVERY LESSON, BY TAKING A MINUTE TO MENTION WHAT EQUIPMENT YOU'RE USING: (GUITAR, AMP, + EFFECTS... ETC.)
Got tabs for this stuff?
Where can i find this backing track
These backing tracks are on my Patreon page.
Hopefully Harry will follow suit.
Don't you simply play the A minor blues pentatonic scale ?
6:26
0:55 ?
Tab?
