    I now own a few of Stefan's DVDs. I have to say, after spending £££s over the years on tuition books, cds, dvds, each of Stefan's DVDs that I own have been worth their weight in gold. The man is a great teacher, great player, and has introduced me to some great great tunes. Acoustic blues is now my favourite style, and I am a better player for having bought, and persevered at practicing, his stuff.

    Grossman is onre of the top teachers in the world. He is a master of the blues. When I started playing slide -- him and Brozman were my 2 teachers. You cant go wrong with his DVDs. Check out his St. Lewis Blues in dropped D -- ;-).
    Stefan - Thanks so very much for all the great lessons.

    I agree with all - Stefan is a great teacher. He also makes playing look and sound so easy. I have several of his books and have learned so much from therm. I enjoy playing so much now. Whats really cool is others enjoy my music also. Thanks so much Stefan.

    I keep coming back to this video for inspiration and ideas and have done for the last 10 years (and will for the next 30). Such a good video to show simple but effective ideas. Thanks for doing it 👍

    Great tutorial, bought my first LP about 35 years ago (How to play the blues guitar) and im still ploughing along.

  • @moseseseseses
    @moseseseseses 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just came across this masterful gent, and he is a wonderful teacher. Sometimes, as most of you know, you come across some on youtube that can play a good piece, but just don't have the talent to convey it to someone else, but this chap can both play it and pass it on to others in a most very professional plain way, without all the needless jargon that some of the younger folks try to throw in there to impress others with, but only bores those just wanting to see the lick. Just great.

  • @robindavies24

    Really useful..love these type of lessons that provide impro & positional ideas.

  • @babbchuck
    @babbchuck 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeah, Grossman rocks. Get his DVDs - they come with tabs and other useful stuff. They usually have lots of good historical footage of the original blues men doing the tunes too - worth the price just for that. Grossman has really spent the time to study *exactly* how the originals were done, warts and all. His respect for their art really comes through.

  • @jifigz
    @jifigz 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey man, The tones for a blues scale are as follows: 1, Flat-3, 4, Flat-5, 5, Flat-7. So the notes for D blues scale are: D, F, G, A-flat, A, C. But often times they use other notes on top of the regular blues scale. I know just about every scale by memory, so if you have any questions or want to know anything about scales, feel free to let me know.

    They're definitely Lonnie Johnson-type riffs, but played with a more clearly defined sort of raggy feel. Very nice and helpful. Cheers Stefan!

    Good tutorial Stefan. I remember being amazed by you, especially on 12 string, when you did a gig at Warwick University. We were both a lot hairier then, 40+ years ago. Your buzzword was "HOTDOG" as I recall. Open D on a 12 string ...dear me! What gauge strings do you use on the 12 stringer? The G-drone in particular. I grew up in India although I'm English...the chants that mesmerised cobras and the skirl of the pipes that were the marching bands heartbeat, not forgetting the Sitar Uncle and his decorated cow. I grew up with octaves and how you can harmonise within them. I'm still slow nearly five decades later but it seems a good pace. Thanks for all you did and are still doing Stefan. You're a top bloke.

    I've usually seen DADGAD referred to as "modal" D, whatever that means, and as someone said drop D id DADGBE, there is "double drop D" which is DADGBD, and a true "open D" is DADF#AD. B cool, take care, keep playin' the blues :)

  • @flatsville9343

    I recall a scene from a movie, I think it was Lakawana Blues, where one of the character was trying to show a youngster how to play blues. He kept insisting you only need on chord. D. That's it.
    Turns out he was right.

    @flipspiceland64 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Stefan, can I ask if you already have, recorded in your mind, the exact frets you want your fingers to alight on?
    If seems that your fingers already know---a split second before they actually press the string---precisely where they need to be to get the sound you want. For every note.
    There is some improvisation on the fly but generally you already have the 'mental' vision of what you want.
    Would that be a fair guess?

  • @taigarden
    @taigarden 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a question!: Normally when i improvise in D blues i play around what i'd call a blues pentatonic (D minor) with a flattened fifth. I know a lot of the old country blues used to just be in a major key with a flattened seventh, BUT this seems to be in what i would call a B minor pentatonic, in other words a D major pentatonic, with a flattened third as what Stefan calls the "blues wammy". Anybody out there stop bickering long enough to shed some light on this!

    @thano111 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    See what you can do if you practice. Dont wish for it, you need to have a go and it will seem strange for a little while, but as you practice more and more IT WILL GET easier and then you can do it also. Have fun. PS: You need to practice at least 3 hours a day. Also "A Well Setup Solid Top Guitar" will make it happen much faster than a Guitar that you got from a second hand shop. The Neck and Action MUST be in Spec. Its called. A Professional Setup and Im sure Stefans Guitar is also in spec.
