@@JeffMcErlain no worries Jeff it's, 4.15pm in the UK, pitch black outside and it's been raining for 18 hours of the last 30. But it's all okay as I have your channel on and it's a total joy to listen to you. All the best.
I’ve watched similar videos that tell you to use these notes. Jeff, this video is far and away the best explanation of *how* to effectively use them over both major and minor progressions. No one has done a better job explaining the subtle differences of how much to bend a flatted third in different scenarios, and the mechanics of sustaining into the target note or cutting off the bend. I’ve heard these techniques for years and never quite been able to put my finger on the difference between what I hear on record and what I play - so much makes sense now. Thanks, Jeff!
Great stuff Jeff, little Saturday morning blues to jam with on my brownie Strat. Just got back from Babies, finally found my old blue jeans! Love it man, you’re the best! Peace ☮
Mr. Mcerlain, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable wisdom and guidance you've shared through TrueFire. Your teachings have been a source of inspiration for me over the past several months, and I can't thank you enough for the treasures of knowledge I've gained. May your days continue to shine with brilliance. Warm regards, Ahmad, Hailing from the land of Iran ❤️
Thank you VERY much!!! I really appreciate you letting me know and it makes my day to know you are enjoying the lessons and guitar. All the best from the land of Brooklyn!
Hey jeff, love the channel and just pre bought the six week boot camp cant wait. This isnt a criticism, just for my own knowledge. But is the very subtle fret buzzing in the notes between the 3-4min mark normal string noise? All my guitars have it and drives me crazy!!😂
Ha! Yeah part of playing electric guitar IMO. My action is kinda medium, I never actually measure it…. Thanks for joining the Boot Camp!!! I’m looking forward to it!
I keep hearing Spoonful by Howling Wolf in that tweaked 3rd...
I’ve been practicing that flat third tweak for years. It’s second nature now, and I have your old British Blues TF course to thank for that!
You are welcome and THANK YOU!!
Reminds me of Cream's (Eric's) Spoonful, Jeff!! Thanks for the great tip! Jim C.
Thanks Jeff!
You are welcome!
Great reminders
I was reading the comments section without my glasses on and was wondering why Keith said "great reindeers" thought it must be a seasonal thing!
Ive been doing that and didnt even know it
Extremely valuable lesson. Thank you
You're very welcome!
Awesome lesson Jeff. As a beginner, that "first finger bend down" vs other fingers bending up...gold.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
GREAT as always!!! Sooooo great these vids! MANY MANY thanks Jeff!
Thank you and you are welcome!!
What a nice DGT you have!
Thanks for the lesson
Thank you. It’s a good one!!
Prs sounds good
Thanks. It has Ron Ellis Pickups in it. The Signature set.
That’s the spoonful lick !
Great reminder - I need to work on this more. Wonderful playing and great tone Jeff!
Thank you kindly!
Thank you so much for that lesson
You are welcome!
Just discovered your channel - it’s great!
Also that DGT is gorgeous!
Channeling the other great Jeff Beck
He is my favorite. Difficult not to…😅
Finally an explanation of these notes-excellent !! Love it
Happy to help!
That guitar is GORGEOUS. 🔥🔥🔥
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks man, i appreciate that🌹⚘️
Jeff, the tone and bends and just wonderful goodness in this video are really sublime. Your touch is so so good.
Thank you David. 🙏🏻

Great lesson, thanks!!
Thank you!!
Man I love your channel
Thank you!
A great tip for all of us bluesy pickers. Good teaching!
Thank you!!
Very important lesson, thank you Jeff!
That lick at 9:05 sounds so cool but is so tough to pull off because of the need to keep the second note unbent.
Nice lesson, Jeff. Happy Holidays!
It’s tricky! Happy holidays to you too!!
learned these from you during the lockdowns....game changers...🙏
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻

I bought his backing tracks package just to get that one!
@@mikedr1549 Thanks man, track#9 ZZ Tops 1st Album. Enjoy!
Thanks man!!!
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Jeff also do you have regrets when looking back in life ❤😊
Thanks for a great lesson and for making the info available for free on your site.
Glad I "discovered" you !
You are welcome!!
Important lesson, thanks Jeff. Also dug the quick pic of the hounds, I've got a piti too, wonderful dogs.
They are!! Both rescues and they are the best.
I believe the old Blues masters referred to this as “making it talk” :-)
In that vein, bending the 5 sounds like the Charlie Brown teacher :-)
😂
Spoonful Cream
Ahh Jeff I thought I was going to sound better right away but you already taught me this. How about some more tricks? 😂
You can never be too good at this… 😉😂.
Super tone, I'm assuming that's the Divided cause it's lit up.
Thanks! Yup the Divided!

I think Clapton often oscillated between the minor and major third.
He did indeed.
very nice guitar! is that a custom DG?
Wood library!
What model is that devided by 13? Great tone❗️
EDT 19/29!
@@JeffMcErlain
Thank you very much❣️
playing your PRS... play it much? I tried one and didn't buy it, thought it too bassy...
Play it all the time! I put Ron Ellis pickups in it and like it much better. As for the bassy, I never noticed that from this gtr.
These are 011s,no?
Nah 10’s.
