Man, people gotta hate. You cleared up a lot of things for me, and opened up a lot of new licks, thank you. I loved the jump cuts, alternate licks, and explanations. Great job, thank you and stay safe.
Yeah, I agree… Initially, as someone with a little over a year of formal instruction, I found the video to be spot on, but I can see where others might get a little lost. If constructive criticism were to be permitted, I found the fretboard diagram to be a little confusing at first - upside down and backwards was my first reaction. Some people are visual learners, while others can comprehend verbal instruction and put it into practice seamlessly. Less intuitive diagrams and visual application would benefit others… That isn’t being a hater, its being an instructor who can incorporate a wider learning audience. I’ve taught a myriad of subjects, from military to classroom based instruction. I’ve found it best to not discount those who learn from a different perspective. For them, its a frustration coupled with a sincere desire to learn, otherwise, they wouldn’t be in your class or watching a video. Just my 2 cents…
Same...same first name as well! Beautiful canine also...no homo. Tee hee :) EDIT: She is not in a cage...she has a huge fenced in front yard, and eats better than I do. Stay safe.
This is an excellent video. For those who need verbalization of where to put your fingers, this video is educational because it encourages evolution from a mechanical way of thinking to an intuitive way of thinking based on intervals in a key. In this case, the key of A.
Ah ha. This has made everything I’ve learnt about BB make much more sense. Thanks for breaking this down and also offering some insight on where to go next 🎸
Thanks for the diagram, I'm surprised how few instructional videos don't have any visuals other than trying to discern the location of some dude's fat fingers. Subscribed.
@@paulrhodesquinn the BB box is imbedded in either the major or minor pentatonic scale if you are using the minor pentatonic scale than your flatted 3rd is already included what you lack is the b5 which is what the blues scale adds. Mixolydian adds the flatted 7th to the major scale thus dominant.
That D note is the 7th of the 5 chord isn't it? The flat 7th would be a Db, right? In other words in the key of A, the 5 chord is an E, and the 7th is a D note. Am I thinking of this wrong? (Or is this too insignificant to bother???)
Iti is impossible to see sometimes whether you are bending10 11 or 12.due to the covering fingers... and also whether it is E, B or G sometimes. Also, when you describe the notes played, sometimes you only describe 2, rather than 3,,,, otherwise terrific.
If you are playing in the key of Am blues, if you use the BB Box it will still be in the key of Am blues. The BB Box is not in another key. It is simply a specific scale pattern, played in a different spot on the neck from the regular “Pentatonic Minor Box” pattern that most guitarists learn. Hope this helps!
Very confusing: It doesn't make sense to me that you would show the diagram with the "1st fret on the left " and then show the actual guitar fretboard with the "1st fret on the right" . Any chance you could edit the video and flip the diagram so that BOTH "1st frets are on the right" . Or maybe create a New Video with BOTH "1st frets on the right" . Thanks
Hi Wd, we are sorry to hear the lesson moves a little too fast for you. We would suggest slowing down the video speed to see if that helps. Let us know!
Hold on. After all the technical stuff and theory you said.. Don't worry if it doesn't make much sense.. Then continued with the technical and theory stuff lol.. 🤔
Dude. Seriously? Don’t say “this note” without saying exactly what note it is and at which fret it’s located. You know how much extra work we gotta do to learn your “beginners” video????
Please, could you get better at saying what frets and strings you're playing? It wasn't evident to me watching the licks what the heck you were playing. There was so many jump cuts, then you'd noodle around in a higher box to show you were playing other notes by bending. I had to keep rewinding over and over and over to figure out which 12th fret you were bending which time. If you find yourself saying, "You go-" then a noodle.... THAT'S where you need to say "You go x fret on y string. Like this", then do the noodle.
I'm lost. You were good there for a minute, everything else is major, minor, chords, and this and that. Blah, blah, blah. I can't tell what this and that is, when you have multiple fingers over several strings. You obviously know what you're doing but, try to look at your tutorial from a beginner or intermediate guitar player's prospective. Moving on now.

Added to Favourites to watch again and again. Every intermediate guitar player can be improved by this lesson.
Thanks Brian!
Same...same first name as well!

Grinning In Their Face Thanks man. Beautiful companion you have there too.

Yes and learning scales,
And why some notes
Sound better than others......that's the building blocks.
Good. Video
Ah ha. This has made everything I’ve learnt about BB make much more sense. Thanks for breaking this down and also offering some insight on where to go next 🎸
Glad it was helpful!
I never checked out the site recently, bombarding me everytime i watch a video!
Have some dignity
Pot kettle
As a metal player who just got hired by a blues band, this helped me a lot to solo with chord changes in a single box. Beautiful
Glad to hear it helped. Thank you for watching. Rock on!
Great lesson and an excellent explanation of how to link those boxes! Many thanks.
Thank you for watching!
The best lesson I've had!
Great lesson! I really love the colorful and creative palette that you can get out of such a useful hybrid scale!
Thanks so much!
❤😆👏
This lesson is just what I wanted.
Great!!!
Really great lesson. Thank you!
No problem!
Sweet licks gotta have it
Yes. Yes you do.
Sort of ironic that they are saying that youtube is a bad place to learn guitar but yet they upload here

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Well taught!great teach!👍😎peaceeee _yeah!thx brah. 😊👀😎👍👽😉
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic!!!
Excellent lesson!
Thanks! 😃
Regardless, good job, many thanks!
Outstanding.
Thank you Kirk!!
The BB Box is truly just the mixolydian scale minus one note
;)
Not really, as there’s also the b3

Those p90 pickups sound great
Thanks!
Love it ❤. Tell it
This was super helpful! Thank you! 🔥
As always!
shouldn’t all the 3rds in the fingerboard notation be flat?
Yes! You are the right teacher for everyone. All others just talking too much
Glad you enjoyed the lesson!
Great lesson!
In the A blues pattern 1 tab, he has the minor 3rd as a major 3rd?? Eh? Other than that good lesson.
Great love BB
Thank you!
What is the guitar you’re using?
I will see if I can get that information for you
thanks bro
Any time
Excellent explanation Gary.
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant 👍
That D note is the 7th of the 5 chord isn't it? The flat 7th would be a Db, right? In other words in the key of A, the 5 chord is an E, and the 7th is a D note. Am I thinking of this wrong? (Or is this too insignificant to bother???)
At 2:13 shouldn't that 7 on the second string be labeled b7 it's a G note right?
the 3rds should be flat,too
🙏🙏🙏thanks
nice
beautifull 🙂
thank you :D
Box, notes, patterns. If I dont get that BB vibrato. It's just the first note in the major scale. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
What guitar is this? Lead? Rhythm? Electric? Bass? Blues?
It's a PRS Custom 22. This genre of guitar playing would be "electric blues lead guitar"

GUITAR TRICKS, is the BB box considered in another Key? If you're playing in key of A minor blues the BB box will be considered D major key?
If you are playing in the key of Am blues, if you use the BB Box it will still be in the key of Am blues. The BB Box is not in another key. It is simply a specific scale pattern, played in a different spot on the neck from the regular “Pentatonic Minor Box” pattern that most guitarists learn. Hope this helps!
A useful explanation, which is helping me… but I haven’t a clue what your’re playing at times; the camera angles aren’t as good as you think they are!
Thank you for your feedback!
But the notes , what combo of notes make the riff, cannot see what you are doing
What backing track where you using?
very good and important question :D It's one of Guitar Tricks backing tracks. Should be on the website! I think it's called "blues in Amaj"
@@garyheimbauer8810 Thanks!
inside out Tab.........confusing.........even just seeing what out there........basics the hard way
Had the potential to be a useful lesson but "C" in the key of A is the minor third, not major 3rd as written (Box1) Just ended up confused.
BB king did alot more then the BB box.
b3's are labeled as 3
Gotta disagree with the posters here. It's a slow blues. The emphasis in on ear training and soulful playing. Fiddle around till you get it right.
Thank you for your feedback!
shred
Very confusing:
It doesn't make sense to me that you would show the diagram with the
"1st fret on the left "
and then show the actual guitar fretboard with the "1st fret on the right" .
Any chance you could edit the video and flip the diagram so that BOTH
"1st frets are on the right" . Or maybe create a New Video with BOTH
"1st frets on the right" . Thanks
Here is what I mean:

Gets some feel for Christ sake
Sorry to hear you felt our instructor was lacking in this lesson. Thank you for watching, we appreciate your feedback!
I can usually follow along with most instructional videos, but this one goes too fast for me at several points.
Hi Wd, we are sorry to hear the lesson moves a little too fast for you. We would suggest slowing down the video speed to see if that helps. Let us know!
Why are you doing it in A????
I did it ones in a x...now i have two kids 😂😂😂
Hold on. After all the technical stuff and theory you said.. Don't worry if it doesn't make much sense.. Then continued with the technical and theory stuff lol.. 🤔
He means don't worry if it doesn't make sense now. It takes some time to learn new concepts. Thanks for watching!
Dude. Seriously? Don’t say “this note” without saying exactly what note it is and at which fret it’s located. You know how much extra work we gotta do to learn your “beginners” video????
Thank you for your feedback!
Totally confusing use of tabs for me.
Please, could you get better at saying what frets and strings you're playing? It wasn't evident to me watching the licks what the heck you were playing. There was so many jump cuts, then you'd noodle around in a higher box to show you were playing other notes by bending. I had to keep rewinding over and over and over to figure out which 12th fret you were bending which time. If you find yourself saying, "You go-" then a noodle.... THAT'S where you need to say "You go x fret on y string. Like this", then do the noodle.
I totally agree. This is why I like the teachers that help you by telling you what frets
👍.non riesco a seguirlo ....
Me too. I gave up halfway through this video
I'm lost. You were good there for a minute, everything else is major, minor, chords, and this and that. Blah, blah, blah. I can't tell what this and that is, when you have multiple fingers over several strings.

It's not a beginner guitar lesson mate....
Garbage company. Dont use them.
