This is one of the best if not THE best guitar lesson among the hundreds I’ve watched. Sean Daniels has an innate ability to teach, and is funny while doing it.
Why do people have to hate on the clickbait? The only people mad about it are people who already know enough shit about the blues to know it's a baity title anyway, not the kind of people who would actually learn something from it. The man has content and needs to draw attention to his videos. I support it.
I played pro Blues harp for many years & picked up guitar some years ago. I've written & performed plenty of songs but found Blues guitar somewhat illusive. Ok so I balked at the vid's title, it seems an outlandish gimmicky claim, but must say Sean you're truly a brilliant & masterful instructor. Thanks so much, this is gold!
A lot of videos "play" their explanation and expect you to understand the theory by hearing THEM play. The "I played it for you and now you should know" type videos. Your video actually used spoken words on why, not just how.. You're a great communicator. Thank you.
7 years late, but id argue he's got a better platform here than he would in a public school. You're not reaching nearly 3 million people if you're just teaching inside 4 walls
Normally when someone with 'the knowledge' fast fires a lesson, I just end up bewildered, knowing there was valuable information in there somewhere but unable to unravel it. Sean you have the ability to pour out pure gold at a fast rate and my brain just soaked it up, this is great stuff, it's sold like a cheat sheet but it's real music theory in a blues tone. My brain got it all, it's my fingers that are just trying to keep up. Great stuff, thanks.
After more than 50 years playing the guitar and 35 or more on banjo, that little blue diagram you placed on the fret board is the best thing I've ever seen for teaching. Great job.
This channel is the only one where I can watch your videos and understand what you're talking about off the bat. I graduated TH-cam academy in guitar, and I've suffered through the too easy and the too hard lessons. What I love about yours is that anybody could learn from it. Keep it up and never ever ever ever stop lest my guitar strings oxidize.
I’ve been playing guitar for 20yrs and this is absolutely the best guitar lesson video I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing. I understand people learn in different ways, and the way you teach makes sense to me.
As a beginner / intermediate I've watched a lot of lessons on blues. This guy made more sense in one video than several others combined. Well explained.
Well, the first line of the blues is the same as the second line I said the first line of the blues is the same as the second line The third line’s slightly different And the fourth line has to rhyme
Where were you 30 something years ago when I started learning guitar??? I learned more about blues in just ONE lesson than I’ve done in THIRTY YEARS. Incredible!!! Thank you 👍
Thanks! For a guy like me, this beginners lesson allows me to play a sound that is good to listen to and fun to play. It keeps me interested in learning more.
Out of all the tutorials I ve watched so far on TH-cam, *You are the only one who actually want to teach something* , not be like "hey, donate on my patreon, buy this, buy that" Sir, what you are doing is amazing and hope you ll *keep up the good work* .
The clearest, most time-efficient, no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point instruction yet. Thank you for sharing. I'm just getting back into playing guitar (approximately 2 years ago), after a 30++ year hiatus. I had played a lot back in the 60's / 70's,... but sold all my guitars in the 80's & didn't pick one up until about 2 years ago. I was determined to learn to do it right this time, & in-person, one-on-one instructors are a gross waste of time & money. There are countless instructors on the internet that will impress upon you how good they are (usually heavy metal head-bangers), but don't teach you anything!!!! You are a welcome change. I will be signing on as a student as soon as Mom gives me my allowance!!!
I’ve taken music lessons. If anyone has bothered to teach me simple patterns, instead of trying to cram the circle of fifths down my throat, I probably still be playing today.
Linda. You are right .i taught about 3 people to play guitar , just starting with AD and E.then maybe one of the pentatonic scales .BUT i had a buddy who ( to put it his way ) wanted to learn properly with music reading .I told him he would find it hard .In the end he gave up.All he really wanted to do was learn to play blues with a little bit of lead thrown in.
@@j.dragon651it's hard enough for a beginner to remember and play simple patterns at first. If it's not fun, people quit trying before they gave enough of a foundation. I say, learn a few chords and some songs, then learn the theory behind those songs. Then expand from there with more chords and more theory, a little at a time.
Thanks for the lesson. I have been playing for 25 years but recently unbent brain surgery for the removal for a very large tumor. Just starting to get better.
Sean, i started late 56 years old just under three years ago, i've stuttered and started, spent to much time on theory, watched most teachers on here including your good self, then suddenly this morning the direction i wanted to take but didn't know came along with this video, always been a 50's style Rock 'n Roll fan, this has given me new hope cheers bro
Can't thank you enough, Sean. You are taking me from 20 years of being a boring strum de strum player who just plays well enough to sing along to, to a whole new creativity and interest in my playing! Love your work!
I just read a lot of y'alls comments bashing this guy for using Hyperbole.... Well, take a look at how many hits that Hyperbole got him. And yeah, Joe Bonamassa uses these chords over and over and I never get tired of him playing it over and over. And don't forget, He does say to CHANGE it up. Now calm down before you bust a gut or blow an aneurysm, and yes, that too is Hyperbole.
Looking at the comments I see a lot of light bulbs went off so I’m not alone. Only been playing a year and have been through 1000’s of TH-cam’s. This one short lesson allows me to make music plus (understand it!) and experiment changing it up with ease. Many thanks!
I've seen so many videos talking about the IV chord, the III chord and the V chord etc... and NOW I finally know what it means! Thank you. With that and the shape explanation, probably the most informative 8 minutes I've ever seen on guitar.
thank you, i am a beginner guitar player on acoustic, playing for fun n to learn. i watch different youtube videos to learn. this simple video helped me, salute!🍺
Sean, This tutorial of yours epitomises all that's magical about the Net: That a blues lover and rank guitar amateur (me) can browse and poke around, looking for any gems of wisdom - and find this, a video put together by someone with the gift of getting maximum knowledge across in the simplest and most articulate, accessible and interesting way. Just brilliant - and insightful. Thank you!
Sean, I watch your video each afternoon to learn this 12/8 Bar Blues as I'm 61 & a retired Veteran & have only been learning guitar 2 yrs, but love your vids mate! I spread the word for you too buddy ;-)
Interesting. I've always memorized songs (as a bassist) by remembering the "shape" that's made on the fretboard by my finger placement. Never have I heard anybody else refer to it as a shape. Glad to finally see im not the only one.
I've dabbled with guitar for over 20 years, and I've recently released my rhythm sucks, I spend to much time on lead stuff. This video is gold to me! Thank you 👍🏻
I literally got it in 8 minutes. I've been trying - and - still learning how to play. After watching this video - I really got it, I see it now, things I've learned all came together. I've studied the scales and have good finger work. Now, I see how cords and scales come together. Thanks much for the lesson. This is top 2 videos' I've watched. Can't thank you enough!
Bluestomiv hard rock? I've yet to hear him in any hard rock Channel and dude is deff all over the blues scene. I think maybe compared to the 1880s through 1970s that the new blues is maybe hard rock but blues is the blues. It's not a genre it's a feeling. Still didn't get me laid. Bad tutorial
I'm sorry did Joe Bonamassa grow up in the delta being treated like shit all his life because he was black? oh no I didn't think so. did he work on a plantation plowing fields and picking cotton? oh no I didn't think so. Did Joe Bonamassa watch his friends and family get lynched? oh no I didn't think so. that's what makes real blues so special, when it's none right by a real blues man it conveys those feelings and experiences. that's the feeling in the blues. Joe Bonamassa plays blues rock. different thing altogether. if "woke up dreaming" was played with an electric guitar and some distortion it would sound indistinguishable from any other hard rock song.
So earl hooker and blind lemon Jefferson aren't blues players? Or Freddie King? STV (who is white btw)? Blind Willie Johnson or Eric johnson (another white guy) or T bone walker or big momma Thornton or Zz top (white guys)? Or Eric fucking Clapton? (White and English) So these ppl aren't blues players or blues musicians according to your words right? You must be white. You're an idiot. Blues does not mean color. Does not mean how you're treated or your place of birth. I've just listed some of the most famous blues players but according to you they are not blues players because they aren't from the "delta blues" area lmao. Fucking Internet tard you are
Please never go off utube. I just brought a electric guitar 🎸 what you just did you made it look clear easy. Thank you as a beginner You always awesome even in piano.
Sean. Reading through the comments I was rather surprised at all the negativity (guess I shouldn't be - this is TH-cam after all). I for one appreciate what you are doing... and do not feel duped (did I really think I'd get all the blues in 8 minutes - no - just a tip or two to get me thinking - and that I got!) This video made clear the 1-4-5 etc. Well worth the 8 minutes for most people. Thank you. Keep posting!
This is great stuff. It's exactly the type of of lesson I've been looking for as a beginner. It's pretty simple but it's really cool and getting me playing proper music. Love it, thanks.
On the third time around, something clicked. Melody created in a pattern of 1, 4, 5 is Blues. I am a perennial beginner and cannot play Chords other than E and A and here it is you can make blues in whichever way your Heart pleases and your limitations matter the least. Your unstructured self learning makes way for an uncluttered teaching approach. Un-seemingly almost like stealth you introduced 1 4 5 and a turnaround emphasising their Origin from a scale and then showing how only those notes too are enough to make your “blues” go away. A poor-middle-aged-beginner-since-forever can also have something to do. Much appreciated Sir 🙏🙏🙏
I know. It seems so easy, but only after you know it. This is truly a very simple straightforward way of summing up not just blues but country, and Folk. Thanks for posting this....
I’m on the second video I’ve ever seen of yours, and am honestly astounded at how well you’re able to explain this. I saw music theory as super difficult to understand, but now I have hope😂 Thank you Sean!
the blues are definaely well respected I've always loved the blues my uncles all 4 played for years till they passed and I had 1 uncle that owned a gretch and would not let me touch it it sound amazing. I can deal hear it ringing the blues in my ears .
You get how people think and speak their language, most music teachers are like a Scientist telling you a how to bake cookies, grams, miligrams i/64th notes ect and yet grandmaw cooks with her hands and says a bit of this a bunch of that and it tastes excellent. That talk from you made it easy for me to understand 12 bar and now off into the Wild 12 Bar Blue Yonder in the Stratosphere of the Stratocaster!
People thinking this is a clickbait, It could be I haven't even watched the yet and I am going to, Reply is because I read the description - He will give you the theory and where to hit the notes you have to listen to song and apply them to learn the song. It's cool if this works, it's a clickbait if it doesn't and I have a pretty good feeling that this guy is COOL.
Sean, you're a great player, good tutor and we need people like you. I'm glad you let the fools go by without getting to you. You win, they lose every time.
Dude sounds like Kevin Spacey... Nice to see I'm not the only one thinking in shapes, shame I don't know all the theory behind it all though! Thanks for the vid!
Being a singer, I'm writing first time ever with my pleasure on someone's content who's teaching guitar online. All I have to say this guy is humble and The legend.
Sean Daniel Now, it's an Epiphone group, so if you could do a video with an Epi I could post it on the main page and a metric shit-ton of folks would see it...
Hey Sean, maybe you can help me to find out what is the name or how do you call it when a blues get stuck all the time on 1st chord, not evolving to 4th and 5th, no progression. Thx in advance!
You know I'm not sure if there's a name for that, I think you'd just call it however many bars of 1? Not sure but if I hear something I'll let you know!
martyisabeliever the point is you can move that same shape to E or A or G it doesn’t matter the shape works in any key. You should listen to what the man says more carefully
Sketch the 12 bars out onto staff paper (12 bars) and you can cut and paste the I, IV, and V chords to hear how simple blues progressions can become works of art. Use a rhythm source (a drum machine or a friend who can keep rhythm), then create melodies etc. Wow! Try telling a story about your condition. Got blues?
Absolutely Love Sean Daniels. Only complaint (which I can't fault him for) is the jazz focus. I don't enjoy jazz. It's not all jazz but a majority seems to have a jazz style even the little bits he played to demonstrate tricks. I almost wish I could filter out the jazz, like if there was a jazz warning or something haha
I think all you guys who are bitching over the title are acting like losers. No one in their right mind would take that title literally. Not because it's about the blues - "learn every in 8 minutes" is just not a literal title. Lighten up and learn to have some fun without having to be the center of attention. Or, even better - before you start tearing down what others are trying to do, get your own videos out here. Maybe you're right - maybe you can do it way better. And then you *will* get to be the center of attention. But put up or shut up. Sean, I'm enjoying the videos quite a lot. Learning some stuff here and there, but also just enjoying the entertainment. Keep it up, man.
Saying you can "learn every blues song ever made in 8 minutes" is the same as saying that because you were just issued your first drivers license, you can successfully compete in Formula 1 racing.
SOOOO, THAT’S HOW YOU PLAY “CROSSFIRE?” I’LL BE DAMNED. I CAN’T WAIT TO START TOURING COVERING HENDRIX, VAI, VAUGHN, CLAPTON, MUDDY WATERS, B.B. KING AND 400,000,000 OTHER BLUES MUSICIANS JUST BY PLAYING THAT LICK. HAHAHAHAHA.
Hey bro,I like your positive attitude ,I just wanted to suggest giving a quick explanation of the 1-4-5 progression... I'm a teacher also and you are absolutely right about how almost all blues/rock and pop for that matter is only 3 chords,the riffs you play are irrelevant to the basic lesson of learning the roots,E-A-B...G-C-D etc...Bob Dylan always said anymore than 3 chords in a song is just showing off... thanks for your time and keep it up... peace
Been watching your Videos for awhile and was able to pick up a few things I wasn't solid on ? After about 40 yrs of playing . So happy to be aboard. Hope to learn some stuff here and there and your funny ...
mate, at 57, having watched 1000s of tutorials, you have explained 12 bar blues in a superb manner.
Thanks so much for saying so! I appreciate it :)
@@seandaniel23 keep on keeping on brother Sean
This is one of the best if not THE best guitar lesson among the hundreds I’ve watched. Sean Daniels has an innate ability to teach, and is funny while doing it.

Exactly ..It just takes one teacher to explain the right thing to get a person motivated !

If you were a Public School Teacher, you could single-handedly rescue Education in this country! Awesome lesson!

Thanks so much for reaching out Alan. Happy to help!
When singing the blues make sure that every sentence starts with the word "well".
You know it!

Un-seemingly almost like stealth you introduced 1 4 5 and a turnaround emphasising their Origin from a scale and then showing how only those notes too are enough to make your “blues” go away. A poor-middle-aged-beginner-since-forever can also have something to do. Much appreciated Sir 🙏🙏🙏
I know. It seems so easy, but only after you know it. This is truly a very simple straightforward way of summing up not just blues but country, and Folk. Thanks for posting this....
Your welcome :)
An awesome tutorial Sean. I have been trying to wrap my brain around the I IV V progression, you sure have simplified it for me...Thanks
+James O'Byrne Happy to help! Thanks for watching.
So easy to follow and insightful, hands down the best lesson for absolute beginner guitar players!
Thanks for the kind words!
I’m on the second video I’ve ever seen of yours, and am honestly astounded at how well you’re able to explain this. I saw music theory as super difficult to understand, but now I have hope😂 Thank you Sean!
Thanks so much! I'll keep em coming!
If anybody makes me get theory the world might stop spinning but hey its worth a try!
Yes, he gives you comfortable lamens term identification then walks you back with actual terminology creating full comprehension...superb.
the blues are definaely well respected I've always loved the blues my uncles all 4 played for years till they passed and I had 1 uncle that owned a gretch and would not let me touch it it sound amazing. I can deal hear it ringing the blues in my ears .
Rock on!
I have been plodding along for years and years going around in circles and tonight I have actually learnt something,Thank you
This is a great thing to learn; thank-you, Sean.
Always happy to help!
You are a brilliant teacher cause' you make it easy to understand.
+WysteriaGuitar Wow thanks! I'll keep it up!
This is GOLD
+Anthony Verduzco Happy to help, thanks for watching!
You get how people think and speak their language, most music teachers are like a Scientist telling you a how to bake cookies, grams, miligrams i/64th notes ect and yet grandmaw cooks with her hands and says a bit of this a bunch of that and it tastes excellent. That talk from you made it easy for me to understand 12 bar and now off into the Wild 12 Bar Blue Yonder in the Stratosphere of the Stratocaster!
I'v been playing for 25 years and this is simplest way that I can understand. Thanks so much for sharing.
Fantastic. Great lesson, mate.
Thanks so much for watching!
First video ever which explain clearly how to play blues. Had to suscribe. Well done, sir !
+Thibault Plantevin Thanks for the support my man.
I agree and subscribed right away too! Thanks for showing me the foundation to build whatever I want!!!!!
Less is more..Thank you,amazing lesson!!
Right on Peter!
I've found my guitar tutor. Exactly the right speed. Thank you.And no bullshit. Love the attitude, shut up. I'm showing you, no excuse, do it.
+Graham Spencer Thanks so much Graham! Welcome to the party!
People thinking this is a clickbait, It could be I haven't even watched the yet and I am going to, Reply is because I read the description - He will give you the theory and where to hit the notes you have to listen to song and apply them to learn the song. It's cool if this works, it's a clickbait if it doesn't and I have a pretty good feeling that this guy is COOL.
Thank you for watching!
You don't learn the blues by just playing it, you have to feel it in your soul to learn it.
Preach!
I thought blues players sold their souls to the devil?
Wow, that one was a clear explanation. Subbed :)
Welcome to the party!
Thanks for the video.
Could you make a video getting more into scales (minors and majors) ? I'm having some trouble ...
+Simão Samouco Yeah for sure, I'll get working on it!
Sean, you're a great player, good tutor and we need people like you. I'm glad you let the fools go by without getting to you. You win, they lose every time.
Can't keep a good man down :)
Keep on truckin
I have struggled with the 12 bar blues for....way too long. not anymore, baby! GRATITUDE!
Bro!! Great tip, no bullshits, interesting tips 😂😀
Dude sounds like Kevin Spacey...
Nice to see I'm not the only one thinking in shapes, shame I don't know all the theory behind it all though!
Thanks for the vid!
Nope, you are not alone. Ever heard of the CAGED system?
Happy to help! I prefer Keyser Soze though :)
One of my favourite movies!
you bunch of haters! I would have loved to have these video's available when I started out.
Thanks for watching Klaas!
Being a singer, I'm writing first time ever with my pleasure on someone's content who's teaching guitar online. All I have to say this guy is humble and The legend.
Thanks so much for checking it out!
Best lesson I've seen in a while. First time I've been click baited and not felt dirty.
Nice, I'm an instant subscriber
Welcome to the party Steve!

Thanks Quentin Tarantino
+Hammock Dweller No prob
Quentin ? I see Dexter lol.. great channel btw.
Not even close ...try mixing Deadpool with Ant-Man with the knowledge of guitar/teacher.
@@ryanfagan8503 That's what IIII thoughtt

Thank you for being on TH-cam
Happy to help!
brillant lesson thank you
+martin evans Thanks for watching!
Sean Daniel
it was great lesson thank you again
Yet another sub, and I will be posting in my 6000+ member Facebook guitar group about you. At least some should be as impressed as I am.
So cool! I appreciate you spreading the word!
Sean Daniel Now, it's an Epiphone group, so if you could do a video with an Epi I could post it on the main page and a metric shit-ton of folks would see it...
Hey Sean, maybe you can help me to find out what is the name or how do you call it when a blues get stuck all the time on 1st chord, not evolving to 4th and 5th, no progression. Thx in advance!
You know I'm not sure if there's a name for that, I think you'd just call it however many bars of 1? Not sure but if I hear something I'll let you know!
@@seandaniel23 modal?
I took a 12 year hiatus from guitar and this is my first song I'm learning to play again. Greatly explained!
One of the coolest, shortest, Fantastic descriptions of music theory actually Applied I've seen. Impressive. That's the way to teach music.
+W Boyo thanks so much!
omg, I just learned the blues
"12 bar Blues in A I-IV-V
martyisabeliever the point is you can move that same shape to E or A or G it doesn’t matter the shape works in any key. You should listen to what the man says more carefully
Sketch the 12 bars out onto staff paper (12 bars) and you can cut and paste the I, IV, and V chords to hear how simple blues progressions can become works of art. Use a rhythm source (a drum machine or a friend who can keep rhythm), then create melodies etc. Wow! Try telling a story about your condition. Got blues?
Right on Rick, great idea and thanks for watching.
Ubetcha!
Absolutely Love Sean Daniels. Only complaint (which I can't fault him for) is the jazz focus. I don't enjoy jazz. It's not all jazz but a majority seems to have a jazz style even the little bits he played to demonstrate tricks. I almost wish I could filter out the jazz, like if there was a jazz warning or something haha
If you are interested in discovering new bands, check out this song! th-cam.com/video/0txFu0ttp4I/w-d-xo.html
Why U at the end of every sentenceU ? PlumsU?
It's my signature quirk.
Sean Daniel
You mean “quirkU”
I think all you guys who are bitching over the title are acting like losers. No one in their right mind would take that title literally. Not because it's about the blues - "learn every in 8 minutes" is just not a literal title. Lighten up and learn to have some fun without having to be the center of attention.
Or, even better - before you start tearing down what others are trying to do, get your own videos out here. Maybe you're right - maybe you can do it way better. And then you *will* get to be the center of attention. But put up or shut up.
Sean, I'm enjoying the videos quite a lot. Learning some stuff here and there, but also just enjoying the entertainment. Keep it up, man.
Thanks so much man, I'll keep it up!
KipIngram na its a bullshit title
Saying you can "learn every blues song ever made in 8 minutes" is the same as saying that because you were just issued your first drivers license, you can successfully compete in Formula 1 racing.
SOOOO, THAT’S HOW YOU PLAY “CROSSFIRE?” I’LL BE DAMNED. I CAN’T WAIT TO START TOURING COVERING HENDRIX, VAI, VAUGHN, CLAPTON, MUDDY WATERS, B.B. KING AND 400,000,000 OTHER BLUES MUSICIANS JUST BY PLAYING THAT LICK. HAHAHAHAHA.
ya got No bad videos ! this is so simply explained,
which in itself is not an easy thing to do.
Hey bro,I like your positive attitude ,I just wanted to suggest giving a quick explanation of the 1-4-5 progression... I'm a teacher also and you are absolutely right about how almost all blues/rock and pop for that matter is only 3 chords,the riffs you play are irrelevant to the basic lesson of learning the roots,E-A-B...G-C-D etc...Bob Dylan always said anymore than 3 chords in a song is just showing off... thanks for your time and keep it up... peace
Thanks so much man! I appreciate the feedback!
Blues, not 12-bar: John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom. 12-bar, not Blues: The Twist - Chubby Checker. Categories are a deep hole. :-)
I tried playing “Sitting on Top of the World” with this. Didnt work.
Must not be a blues song.
It's a actually a bluegrass song
@@seandaniel23 Howlin Wolf. Sitting on top of the world
@@thedrugstorecowboy2948 Howlin Wolf. Sitting on top of the world. As bluesy As It Gets
then try playing it standing on top of the world
Nothing says blues music like an african american in linen shirt
Been watching your Videos for awhile and was able to pick up a few things I wasn't solid on ? After about 40 yrs of playing . So happy to be aboard. Hope to learn some stuff here and there and your funny ...
Sir are you canadian or french? i notice you end with a vowel sound on your words a lot. lol just curious.
Nope! Born in Chicago, the vowel sound thing is just something I've always done for whatever reason :)
Ya hes sounds like a French Canadian such as myself haha
