Wow, this video came out so quickly! Thank you so much for letting me join you in this video, Paul! 🙏🏼🎸🙏🏼🎸 Y’all are in for a treat when Paul shares his guitar secrets with me on my channel! I’ll start working on that video as soon as I get home!
Me, an American, watching a Philippino guitarist and Dutch guitarist jamming in a music shop in Germany, drinking a Belgian beer. We live in an amazing world.
This is absolutely one of the best and most helpful breakdowns of the blues structure I've ever come across. Thanks so much to both of you. I really enjoy this channel and all the invaluable information you're sharing for free.
Couldn't agree more and I've been playing guitar longer than either of the guys have been alive lol. Love learning new stuff - you never stop learning your instrument :)
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and learned a lot from you Paul. But seeing this video surprised me as a Filipino because Perf is one of our inspiration and a real legend in our country. Sometimes I feel like that I’m losing the flame in my passion (cause of work) but I like how humble and hungry you are and inspires me to learn and love my music 💯
First of all, holy bokeh on that first shot! What aperture setting was that?! ;) Excellent video, and great to see you with Perf. I'm looking forward to all the 42GS3 videos!
During the band explosion in the 90s in the philippines, Perf played in a band called Blues Trio, they were in my opinion the first band who played electric blues with a great guitarist named perf de castro. Perf is a rock guitarist who also played one of the best blues guitar in his generation. He also has a degree in music major in classical guitar.
I got an old blues guitar book about 20 years ago, and it had that 'secret' of the blues in it. It took me years to fully appreciate how genius that simple concept is.
I’ve watched a scadzillion guitar videos. This was the most advanced-made-simple blues ever! I absolutely loved this video!!! Thanks both of you! I have enough stuff to mess around with for years.
Thank you Paul and Perfecto for a great eye opener! I´ve never experienced a better logic explanation to "get it" ever. Not with words but within my mind/soul!
Holy smokes, was this the best mini tutorial ever! I was expecting I'd watch this clip over coffee, but after Step 2 I *had* to grab the guitar and play along! Now my coffee is cold, I am happy to have learned a new thing, Perfecto has one new follower, and I'm off to practice it some more. Thanks!
Yes, I blame these two too for making my dinner cold and making the wife complain why I'm not eating with the family. These guys are unhealthy for the head, the body and relationship, LOL!
Yeah, similar! It's late evening and lots of neighbours in earshot, so I don't usually have my guitar out this late, but I coudn't resist. This kind of music sounds even more laid back played with quiet finger picking. Even if they can hear me it wouldn't be annoying anyway. Top Video thanks Paul Davids.
As a guitarist being able to play the blues IMO is essential. Throughout the history of music, people have always played the blues in many forms - fast, medium, slow, funky, sophisticated in different meters and avant-garde. It's still the blues! Cool video thanks for keeping it going Paul!
Brilliant, so every time the 3rd and 7th slip back a fret, the 7th becomes the 3rd and the 3rd becomes the 7th if applied to the cycle of 4ths. Awesome lesson, outlined impeccably, making the beauty of the blues so much more accessible, Fantastic lesson. Thanks
@@Johnhasa1 Yeah dude, He's one of the best and most respected guitarist in the Philippines.😊..please listen to his former band Rivermaya, songs like "214" and "Awit ng Kabataan". or his Hendrix cover somewhere on TH-cam. Cheers! 🤘
Picked my guitar up again after a few years of not playing. I feel like I'm 15 again learning from so many different places. You are single handedly making things click that never did before. Dunno if it's the way you articulate it or what, but it's great. Thanks for what you're doing here man for real.
Great video… I just discovered your channel… this is good content… I might subscribe… need to sleep on it another night…. maybe I hit that button tomorrow… can’t be too careful with that stuff!
totally like you you had nothing to do with it,,,, whích of course you did... but us humble germans we tend to remain silent.... If you have Paul using your facilities call it, out it will help both of you... and for the younger generations... we need to keep Douglas Adams relevant
I ran across the 3rd & 7th three fret span movement in some other vid years ago but adding chromatic with chord comping within beat adds a completeness that is satisfying. Great fitting of pieces of puzzle.
Seeing Paul pretending to be surprised by this music theory is so funny, at the same time, though, it shows how humble and respectful he is with his guest!
I played with an older gentleman, he was in his 80's, who played an old 70's Ibanez like that. At first I thought he was playing a Gibson 335 or something because for some reason he had sharpied out the Ibanez logo on the head stock. You couldnt let that fool you though, he was one hell of a guitar player, he had grew up in AZ and moved to LA and played with all the great singers and bands in his younger days. When we would take a break from playing he would sit and just tell stories and stories of all the people he had played with, he was incredible.
This was AWESOME! I love that it can be broken down so simply to the components 3rd and 7th without having to fly all over the place. The best part of the blues is those chromatic steps. They guide you and the listeners ear. It's predictable, but in the very best way.
This is one of the best "2 people that don't know each other that well" video. Very natural and humble, like you both were giving space to each other without sounding overly enthusiastic and talking over each other. Great, Thanks that was Perfecto! :P
Omg that’s so awesome to see Perf with Paul. So proud! Considering I saw Perf while growing up back in high school in Don Bosco and now we here. Keep it up! 💪🙌
Hey Paul, have you ever thought that one of the greats is watching your videos and actually learning something? Like Eric Gales or John Mayer? (I consider you one of the greats btw)
This is the first time I click the like button first before watching the video. Sir Perf is an icon in the Philippine guitar community. Thanks Paul for guesting sir Perf. :)
That step 3 is also the secret to playing Hammond organ on blues while leaving lots of room for the guitarists to shred/wail/whatever. Just play that interval and fiddle with the Leslie speed and drawbars, and folks will think you're a keyboard genius. Provided you pay attention, listen, and fit in, of course.
It’s crazy i knew the A7, D7 and E7 chord shapes already, but never had it click that the shape of just the 3&4 strings is the same just a fret apart. Sometimes you can hear something 20 different ways until that 1 example makes the lightbulb go off.
The collab that I wanted ❤️. Perf actually helped me a lot in music theory for guitarist through his videos and also you sir davis, your lessons also helped me a lot. Tnx for sharing both of your talents to the world 😁.
I remember when I first bought my Philippine-made guitar. I asked Sir Perfecto on his channel and he replied. Much respect for this guy. P.S. The secret to the blues is to play from the heart. I remember my all-time favorite Lightning Hopkins. He plays the same old chords, and yet he always has something new and unexplainable emotion in each of his songs. That is because he is the blues, and the guitar is just an extension of himself. Be the Blues!
Its always cool to grab a new concept. Especially 1St thing in the mornig before I have touched one of my guitars. I know what Ill be doing in This morning pratice. Thanks Paul.
Hahaha,😂 ako din akala ko namamalikmata ako sa thumbnail na magkatabi si Perf at Paul. 😂ayus sikat na si idol Perf, turuan mo rin si Paul ng solo ng 214 hihi.🎸😂
It’s not so much pretending to be a beginner, it’s that he is a teacher and by demonstrating what it’s like to start from the begging level and what it may feel like (obviously a spores up version non nuanced version of it) lets people know it’s on not to know or yet be able. There’s plenty of great guitarist out there, Paul is definitely one of them, but his teaching is outstanding and much more impressive to me
I once had a piano teacher show this to me, in the key of C (where the C chord = E & Bb). Same concept, but now I see it on the guitar and it's an eye opener! Thanks for the great video!
My 87 year old jazz guitar instructor has one of those Ibanezes, with the action set obscenely low, that he uses to play out. It is a freaking great guitar for the money. Mind you, we both play his vintage Gibson ES-175s when I have a lesson. Anyway, great lesson. Thank you both for giving me something new as a rhythm player to practice.
PERF!!!! This came out of nowhere, holyshhhhh. What's amazing about Perf is he can drop these high level knowledge not just in Blues, but in Classical, Folk, Rock, and Metal (shredding) as well.
Wow, this video came out so quickly! Thank you so much for letting me join you in this video, Paul! 🙏🏼🎸🙏🏼🎸
Y’all are in for a treat when Paul shares his guitar secrets with me on my channel! I’ll start working on that video as soon as I get home!
Wowww
This is so perfect
I-perf talk mo yan sir perf, haha tagal na akong subscriber nyan.. dami ko natutunan sa knya, sa totoo lng napakalinaw din nya kc magturo..
Ayos po idol,...

Music connects everyone. And so does beer.
...Playing the Blues
Focusing on the positive. sweet
One of the legendary guitarist in the PH. Damn!!!
Perfecto de Castro's "music theory for Guitarist" actually helped me a lot
Yea me too
Me too
I watch him too
Thanks for mentioning that, I'll check it out.
Thanks for mentioning that, I'll check it out.
I love that Paul still can learn something and is prepared to be the student still. Respect my man!
Thanks!

I'm glad you found perf de castro. That guy is a living legend here in the Philippines.
This is a crossover we never knew we needed! Thank you Paul and Perf!
Such an amazing jam!! So great to see Perf in your vid, didn't expect this crossover at all! Greetings from PH 🇵🇭
Thank you Perfecto for sharing your knowledge. I love your friendliness.
First of all, holy bokeh on that first shot! What aperture setting was that?! ;)
Excellent video, and great to see you with Perf. I'm looking forward to all the 42GS3 videos!
it's weird with out you. where are you, man? LOL! ||stay safe, man!
He shot it on my FX3 with the Sony GMaster 24mm with an F1.4 and a variable ND filter… you camera need! Miss you my friend!
That was my first question as well, RJ :)
What's this here? The meet up of all famous Guitar TH-camrs? (exclude me lol)
i would like to see rj with paul and perf

Sir perf is a legend it self ngl... i watch alot of his and content too and having this collab both legends in my book
I got an old blues guitar book about 20 years ago, and it had that 'secret' of the blues in it. It took me years to fully appreciate how genius that simple concept is.
What’s the concept?
This opens up the mind to the chords, the notes, the timing and how it all fits together.
Great video Paul!❤️
I’ve watched a scadzillion guitar videos. This was the most advanced-made-simple blues ever! I absolutely loved this video!!! Thanks both of you! I have enough stuff to mess around with for years.
Very enjoyable conversation and lesson!
Also, those guitars… 😍
Wow... Hanep... Thanks Paul for having Perf De Castro on your channel... He is one of the greats here in the Phillipines...
:::tears and tittering::: i'm so emotional. It's so precious. guitarists have discovered bass. ;)

So humble these guys are!! Learning constantly and also spreading the knowledge!!!💓💓💓💓💓🙏🙏🙏
One of the most great teacher...Pauuuulll!!!
Beautiful
That trick with the 3rd and the flat 7th was really neat! It just goes to show the power and versatility of the tritone. Thanks Paul and Perfecto 🎸
The two-note wonder
Thank you Paul and Perfecto for a great eye opener! I´ve never experienced a better logic explanation to "get it" ever. Not with words but within my mind/soul!

4:55 It's the riff to _Rock and Roll_ by Led Zeppelin. One of the first riffs I learned as a kid.
Brilliant, so every time the 3rd and 7th slip back a fret, the 7th becomes the 3rd and the 3rd becomes the 7th if applied to the cycle of 4ths.
Awesome lesson, outlined impeccably, making the beauty of the blues so much more accessible, Fantastic lesson. Thanks
It's amazing to see Paul and Perf play and teach the secret to Blues Rhythm Guitar.😊 Blues is very fun to play..."Mabuhay ang Pinoy!" 🔥Rak en Roll!🤘😁
like the branding "Paul & Perf"
He's philipino too?
@@Johnhasa1 Yeah dude, He's one of the best and most respected guitarist in the Philippines.😊..please listen to his former band Rivermaya, songs like "214" and "Awit ng Kabataan". or his Hendrix cover somewhere on TH-cam. Cheers! 🤘

Perf is with Paul Davids! Wow! Love you both!
Wow Sir Perf and Paul ! A collab we didn't ask for but we needed.
So glad Paul could follow Perfecto... He left me in the dust on step3 !
Really set more than a few things straight for me. Love it.
Hey guys that was awesome. been playing the blues for 50 years and i got so much out of that its crazy. TX
I love Perf De Castro. One of my favorite guitarists

It's not a big thing. You just have to GENTLY tap like and subscribe. It helps sooo much!
C'mon, Henning, drink the koolaid...
Thank you for this!!!! What a simple guide but it improved my blues playing immensely in 15 minutes!

(I consider you one of the greats btw)
This is the first time I click the like button first before watching the video. Sir Perf is an icon in the Philippine guitar community. Thanks Paul for guesting sir Perf. :)
Perf de castro is one of my influences in playing the guitar. This is good stuff. Nc one paul! 😎🤘
The APJD guitar has a very relaxing and pleasant sound and a quality soundboard.
Perf’s lesson on guitar music theory deserves more credit

Love Perfecto’s and smile.. calm and easy manner 👍
I discovered Perfecto a month ago, also just a great human being! This needs to be a series, lol.
Thank you for making me a better guitarist every video… I appreciate the time you put in for this!
Damn… this is actually a good lesson. I can’t believe how easy it is and playing it feels like you been playing blues for little while.
As usual, Paul is so humble and you both make this very easy to learn.
You know a guitarist is good when a full band is heard in the background whenever he plays.
Wtf...i laughed my ass off
Paul you guys just blew my mind with the 2 note blues on those 3 frets
The collab that I wanted ❤️. Perf actually helped me a lot in music theory for guitarist through his videos and also you sir davis, your lessons also helped me a lot. Tnx for sharing both of your talents to the world 😁.

I learn more from these sessions than books. Thank you Paul

DAMMIT!!! I THOUGHT ITS A GLITCH!
Perf X Paul!!!
Hahaha,😂 ako din akala ko namamalikmata ako sa thumbnail na magkatabi si Perf at Paul. 😂ayus sikat na si idol Perf, turuan mo rin si Paul ng solo ng 214 hihi.🎸😂
So laidback, I love it. Mr. Perfecto seems like a really chill dude to have a jam with
“infinity war is the most ambitious crossover”
paul and perf: hold our guitars
Great video, I live how many simple things can come out of the 1, 4, 5, that sound amazing.
You have links to all your gear, but we wanna know where’s the link to that outfit?
Pride of the Philippines! Go Perf! Practice makes Perfecto!

in fact is pathetic
Shows he is a Gracious, Humble Man.👍
It's great attitude. Success people never stop learning.
Two legends sir perf and paul davis!👍👍👍

I love watching Paul play dumb lol
This video excellent and thanks for introducing Pefecto!
I started watching thinking "nah, this stuff is too basic". I ended up thinking "uh-oh, that's rather tricky".
Yup. I keep getting lost somewhere down the line. Luckily there is "Replay" ... ;-)
