I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this Blues lesson series! I learned the 5 pentatonic scale positions, learned many blues chords, learned how to play several different songs, etc. and decided it was time to learn how and why all this works. I contacted a long time acquaintance who is a touring blues man here in Nashville about taking lessons from him since he is nearly 70 years old and not touring as much now to see if he had time to teach me the hows and whys of blues. He agreed and I was able to take two lessons from him and then the virus hit. :( I had to call him to let him know that I couldn't take lessons any more due to virus concerns and the fact that I couldn't afford to pay for services anymore because of the shutdown of our business. God I hated making that call... Now I come across this video in my suggested video feed. I figured it would be like the rest and not really go into much detail unless you buy their package of lessons. What a surprise! You are providing the information I need to be able to play and improvise while knowing that what I am doing is going to work. This is EXACTLY the thing I lost! I pray for the world to get through this, and I want you to know this sort of thing you are doing helps in more ways than you know. God bless you!

You are obviously a very accomplished guitar player, but what I like most is your willingness to unpick this addictive style of guitar bit by bit for us learners. Thank you so much. So many KZitemrs seem to want to show their expertise but fail in being able to share adequately in that knowledge. To think we've spent half an hour on basically one chord and ~I'm NOT bored yet says it all. Keep up the good work, I don't mind the occasional focus issue ! Cheers.

Richard Ive been playing guitar since I was seven and now 71. I have been in three bands and had a wonderful experiece over a span of 24 years. I sat down to watch your video because ive learnt the Pentatonic scales through the fretboard, which I never knew existed in this past year or so, but no teacher has pointed out like you the reason you cant play blues using these scales. I was getting very frustrated because ive learnt the Pentatonic Scales and still sounded rubbish. I must point out that I was a Rhythm Guitarist in all three bands but wanting to learn lead guitar now, this is where you have, and you only taught me how to play true blues, full marks, love you man.

Now, most of that was self taught, but I had a tutor for 2 years and great guy, REALLY knew how to play guitar, but did not know how to teach it to me. So I thought copycatting was just what everyone did. 3 years ago I start looking into music theory and was blown away. I knew the VERY basics, but this I-VII was Greek. Thank you for this invaluable primer as I'd like to actually know how to play, not merely be able to memorize stuff.

Im only now getting back into electric guitar and absolutely loving it again. The timing of your video is a blessing. Instant subscriber. My biggest hurdle now is improvising by mashing the major and minor scales all over the fretboard, and understanding how they relate to the chords. Work in progress.

Hi Richard, I've been playing guitar for over 50 years and fall bang into the group (forgive the pun) who haven't a clue about what they are playing. Sure, I can play a range of styles and can learn a solo but I've long been frustrated by my inability to jam and improvise for the very reasons you have explained. It's like knowing the words but being unable to have a conversation. I have looked at countless KZitem tutorials which leave me none the wiser. Watching your video was like we were in the same room chatting away. Your teaching style is very relaxed and is like you're showing a mate how to play. Forget about the focusing issues and all that - your approach is superb. With any luck, you'll get this old git here jamming along instead of just playing "menu-solos"! Thank you - it's just what we need in these miserable times!

I've been trying to get some theory in my brain & under my fingers. I feel a person can learn something if they are trying to. Sometimes, when it comes from a variety of sources, one teacher will say something that helps to make sense of concept that was previously a bit foggy. Your video helped do that, Richard. Don't worry about the camera, or things you felt detracted from your vid. I could not do any better at the making of a video and the editing of it myself. Your chart, and especially your explanation about it helped me a ton! I know that pentatonic "shape" for a variety of keys, or can find it when I need to. But understanding WHAT notes sound Good, Better, and Best, and especially WHY they do, is SO Important! You presented that in a good way! Can't wait for the next one! Oh, and Thank You for taking the time to even do this!

Hi, please don't apologise this was great. I could answer "yes" to all of your questions at the beginning and I believe shuffle is the rhythm of life, although the tempo may vary. I've been afraid of playing solo and now I understand why, because I land and stay in the wrong place, I now understand that the chord is more important than the scale. I am certain that she who has to hear me practice will hear an improvement. I'll tell her her hearing was blurred before!!!

Dont know Intervals, Chord construction or blues scale, OK with diatonic and pentatonic scales. Im 75 - used to play in a band in the late 60's and early 70's but have virtually done nothing with guitar since. Since I retired I have got myself a Jackson Dinky which plays rathed well after I redid the frets. Im OK with open chords and bar chords (although my hands get very tired with bar chords). I am loving your series on blues but this old brain is stugling a bit. Would love to see something on chord construction and Intervals.Dont stop please - very enlightening even though I have to watch each video quite a few times, I'm really enjoying where your taking me. Thank you. Really helps to pass the time under the current circumstances. Cheers.

Manual/locked focus is your friend. Don’t rely on autofocus. Thanks again for these videos.

You might not have the fancy tech skills of the career you tuber crowd but you have taught me more in 30 minutes than they have in 5 years. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you

Thank you Richard. You taught me not only how to read French, but how to understand it.

Richard, You are a genius!!! Your fret chart is brilliant!! Showing the Root, 3rd, 5th, m7 notes on the fret board put all the pieces of the puzzle together for me. For the first time, I can see and understand how the scales fit on the fret. Thank you so much 😊👍👍👍

So im sitting here in my comfortable hospital bed trying to get used to my brand new knee and its being a bit of a pain (literally) but kept at bay by some pretty cool painkillers that keep me feeling quietly stoned. So I've been bloat watching videos on the Boss ME 90 (got one before just before hospital) and loads of stuff on the Andertons channel and getting a bit bored when KZitem decided i needed to watch your vid. Oh wow, i didnt mind the oof stuff as i had my eyes shut most of the time just listening, letting your ideas wash over and over. I'm not new to any of this stuff but your way of putting this over is a real reminder that any musician no matter how good they are (or think they they are) should always be open to learning. So thank you for taking the time and trouble to put this together and saving an old man from terminal boredom this evening Should be home tomorrow and can start having some fun assumimg i can get my head around using the looper. Go well and thanks again

That is such an incredibly kind message. I am so grateful - thank you. I cant tell you how happy it makes me to know the video helped some time go by for you whilst stuck in hospital. I really hope your new knee "kicks in" (for want of a better word!) really soon and it all goes "smoothly"!! I would like to think whilst I do waffle - my waffle is from the heart! Like I say - hope you are out as soon as possible and thank you for making my evening

Started playing again after a 25 year pause, and got my new guitar today. I found out this lesson and it's very well made and clear, in a matter of one hour I learned what I never achieved in a couple of years of playing and having lesson once a week from a classical guitar teacher. And that's learn how to improvise, and actually know what you are playing. I could play along my own improvisation on your loop. Much thanks for that!

I'm a relative beginner and have been trying to learn useful guitar theory for a couple months now. This video was suggested to me and it's honestly taught me as much as all the other videos I've watched combined. I've heard of all those 5 terms but never had them explained in any way I could understand before. This lesson was simple, I could play along and was actually informative. Keep up the good work!

Great lesson, thanks camera focus issues made no difference, you put the pieces together I knew existed, but didn’t know why or where to find them! Very much appreciate you taking the time to post this.

Richard, I have been trying to understand when to bend notes etc for so long now. Your the first person who has explained it to me so I can understand it. I will now show some progress, many thanks to you!

Richard, great lesson. I learned more than about chords and scale than ever before. The concepts are clear to me now. Who cares about a blurring video... content is excellent. Keep sending it. Cheers
