Keith's ability to explain rock and blues is brilliant! First saw Keith as the guitar player in my wedding band - the "Carry On " band. He knocked me out then...and still to this day. That's a real musician with ability to pass the knowledge on...hat's off !
i play metal mostly, but these are my favorite lessons. a lot of people forget that blues was the foundation for metal. and you can do so many things with knowing how to play blues, even when you aren't playing blues. if you know how to vary your rhythms, which is easiest to show in blues, you can be an unstoppable rhythm guitarist and a notable soloist. and the effect of this only amplifies when you get into metal. great lessons. i learn something every time.
you are the best ,I have never seen great teacher like you , you have the best explanation ever ,believe me I almost quit playing blues cause I am a heavy metal and rock player ,but somewhere I like the bluesy sound and I had a hard time figuring out blues backing rhythm chords and obviously blues solo using blues scale, you revived me ,,, awesome thank you ,you are great.
I was told that the straight/shuffle feel was the invention of a pianist called Johnny Johnson, who worked with Chuck Berry Cheers for the guitar, this is such a great series
Keith Wyatt's analysis of Chuck Berry's rhythem syntax is very austute indeed. I have and still could learn a lot from that guy. I bought my first KW audio program 25 years ago.
What a great lesson. The idea of playing straight against a shuffle and vice versa is not something I've been consciously aware of in 50 years of playing!
The reason that they focus in on his hand movements is to break up the monotony in what is called the "Basic Sequence"... Long Shot, Medium Shot, Close Up, which is what they teach the film students at Musician's Institute.
I love this explanation. I have chosen not to listen to most blues music after the mid 70’s because of the bouncy feel that isn’t real blues. This explains it!
Where have ya gone Keith? I bought G.W. for ur column. And now ur gone. that sucks guitar world. Pls bring back Keith. And guitar world acoustic mag too. cheerz
tout simplement ce que je cherche depuis mes début merci youtube tu comble mes désires la on vas vraiment s'amuser et jouer du vrais son le son qui coule dans mes veines
What he's describing is all over African folk music. It's also all over Dixieland jazz. The ORIGINAL slang term for this was "swinging." (This slang term "swing" predates "swing" as a specific style of jazz.) When your rhythm section was shuffling away with its syncopated triplets and you, as a soloist, started playing straight and then then went back to using triplets again, that was known as "swinging" off the beat and then back on. Also, when you just plain old stopped being tied to the beat and then got back into synch with it, that was also "swinging." And blues guitarist do that just about every time they play.
Keith is my favorite teacher of all time and I've had some great ones. Nobody compares to Keith. These lessons are AWESOME and INVALUABLE, it's too bad the camera work/editing is so unorthodox, off angle shots, and to many hand shots. It's actually a distraction. The sound quality and material are excellent however. Best on the net. His cd's and books are mandatory IMHO if your serious about blues guitar.
i think alot of rock/metal guitarist use this kind of feeling in their solos, the go in the like a triplet or just slower then they shred but it could just be 16th notes
my guess is Keith is the drummer . when I learned to read drums in Carmine Appiece Advancing Rock Drums the turning point is the flexible time associated with triplets, and on drums your dragging the stick sometimes to slur the notes
The way you have beaten age and time to be able to be technologically sound enough to type and still see at your age let alone view and comment on TH-cam is PHENOMENA!
For many of todays young musicians this is forgotten knowledge. Perhaps Keith should have mentioned Elvis Presley's Jailhouse Rock as a an even more prominent example of playing straight against a shuffle beat. Also in jazz, most notably in bebop from the 30s and onwards, playing straight 16th notes against a swing beat is the very foundation of phrasing. Another amiguity not mentioned here is the feel of the 6/8 or 12/8 beat that is so common to blues.

I believe that once again the basic idea of this video is that there is no such thing as the correct way of playing in blues but to follow your feelings and being off-beat doesn't necessarily means a bad thing. In the end, it all depends on preferences and as preferences go, I think I'm an old-school guy seeing how my ears always favors the feel in the shuffle beats over the straight ones except some runs and I'll prefer to create the tension through odd and dissonant chords and mods instead..

Keith is so on the money. Best explanation for guitarist I've seen/heard. Thank you Keith
The best blues teacher ever. What a gent.
Not only Keith Wyatt is very knowledgeable, but he has a way to make things very interesting. He's definitely a great instructor.
Excellent lesson, Keith ... clear and concise ... I learned more about the shuffle beat in fourteen minutes than I have in the last fourteen years.
What a teacher,so natural and easy to understand.
Best guitar music teacher right here. Taught me all of my technical foundations in my own playing through fender learning dvd’s.
im so glad you brought this small detail of switching from swing to eights into the light. I never thought of that making such an impact, thank you!

What a great way to show the difference. I never actually knew what it was called, or how it was done...though I've played it for years by ear.
Very subtle in places but most of the time you can feel the difference. This guy is a great musician and so much more.
you are the best ,I have never seen great teacher like you , you have the best explanation ever ,believe me I almost quit playing blues cause I am a heavy metal and rock player ,but somewhere I like the bluesy sound and I had a hard time figuring out blues backing rhythm chords and obviously blues solo using blues scale, you revived me ,,, awesome thank you ,you are great.
Heera Malla i
I played drums as a kid, this is reminded me of the genius of American music. Great.
Excellent lesson - I've played for years and this tension twixt the straight and the swing is something that never occurred to me.
Keith, I'm suddenly a huge fan of your videos, thanks for this perfect explanation, exactly what I needed. So many light bulbs!
This is one of the best videos guitar world has ever uploaded
This is a brilliant lesson, and definitely the key to understanding the feel, phrasing and fundamentals.
im a metal player and i love these lessons. they really help me a lot and give me cool ideas to incorporate into my playing
Thank's Keith from Italy!
Great lesson. Really well produced, and the concept was beautifully explained. THANKS FOR SHARING - this is what TH-cam is all about in my opinion.
I was told that the straight/shuffle feel was the invention of a pianist called Johnny Johnson, who worked with Chuck Berry
Cheers for the guitar, this is such a great series
What a great musician!
Phenomenal teacher and player and musician. Thanks

Keith is great. I would like to know if there is any way to great the entire series of lessons 1 - 10 along with the work books.
Brillant lesson !
Hya this wasn't something I was aware of and it's a really cool tool in my box thankyou
I wonder if Keith would agree that Chuck is also singing with swing over the straight guitar. He is such an excellent educator.
Your voice is so lovely. ❤️💕😍😘

He is the best guitar instructor of all time.
where is the cover of the pickups selector?:) like in a musical store- where they tale it off to prevent from stealing:)

so, are Shuffle and Swing feel the same thing?
unbelievable!!!!
belive it fish
Where do the Drum Loops Came From is it and Iphone,Ipod ????

Anybody know what kind of drum machine he's using here?
Interesting... Chuck Berry and T-Bone Walker played eight notes against against a rhythm section in triplet shuffle time with back beat.
i think alot of rock/metal guitarist use this kind of feeling in their solos, the go in the like a triplet or just slower then they shred but it could just be 16th notes
the shuffle riffs were so much more groovier!
my guess is Keith is the drummer .
when I learned to read drums in Carmine Appiece Advancing Rock Drums
the turning point is the flexible time associated with triplets, and on drums your dragging the stick sometimes to slur the notes
fascinating !

Love listening to Keith just shooting the shit about music....Louie Jordan...who'D a thunk
@TheMetalHeaD256 it was basically the foundation for everything
the shuffle riffs were so much more groovier than the straights

Napoleon dynamite would say "gosh"
