[UnceBobTouchedMe]

can someone tell me, are those p90's pickups? and if they are, where can i find metal tops for them

[Musicmanuk94]

@UnceBobTouchedMe There mini hums :)

[ericmadis53]

@UnceBobTouchedMe No, They are Seymour Duncan MH-3 mini-humbuckers.

[UnceBobTouchedMe]

@ericmadis53 thanks mate :) and what do you think, are the Seymour Duncan Mh-3 mini hums better than the P90's for playing the blues? (with a little overdrive included too :P )

[Davesax1965]

Hi Eric - nice lesson for beginners there, but I wish you'd shown the intro as well ! Thanks. Incidentally, it's great to see someone playing blues on a Gibson ES ! And it IS in tune, folks.......

[MassimoAlberto]

First ... Hopkins Play with finger . 2 fingers

Second listen a texas blues, you'll see that has nothing to do with you teach

[ericmadis53]

Yes, I know. JamPlay (not me) posted that video with that title, just because I taught some Lightnin Hopkins licks in the lesson. I had nothing to do with that. HOWEVER, I do play the Lightnin Hopkins (western style blues with the monotonic bass), as well as the Piedmont style (with the alternating bass). Go to some of my live videos and you will see.

[ganherngyih]

Learning Lightnin licks is as hard as learning sweet child o mine solo

[shabs124]

I LOVE YOU DUUUUUUDE!!!!! ANY MORE LIGHTNIN HOPKINS? please??

[bosshallucy]

Playin the changes = badass

[surelite]

Hey man, you said you would give me a minute to practice and then you kept right on going!

[jennolund]

[lelightful]

So this is what my dentist does on the side???

[MIchigan4x4]

hey i really like the intro but you dony show the good part??? its not too late, make the vid!

[lelightful]

Yawn.

[road2apples]

si,bueno!

[sonicredline]

I want to grab his tuner for his g string and turn it a tad counterclockwise xP

[sonicredline]

@sonicredline correction, d string

[ericmadis53]

@sonicredline We tune our guitars regularly (with our tunes, an with octaves) for every video we do. That guitar is also in perfect working intonation.

[ericmadis53]

@sonicredline We tune our guitars regularly (with our tunes, an with octaves) for every video we do. That guitar is also in perfect working intonation. Thanks for listening though. I wish JamPlay would post the more urban blues lessons, and more sofistication lessons, on YouTube.

"If you're playing alone, and a lot of you will be..."

Nice way to be a positive teacher, and tell your students to find musicians to jam with... -_-

[rghunnicutt]

thanks, nice lick

[francymj98]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooo

[tellmeitsnottaken]

Man.... This guy is a badass

[Bshow1212]

HOLY SHIT this guy is my karate teacher.

[cjoey39]

Eric, Nice lesson!! Laid back teaching style, very good material!!! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"

[JayBlackBird]

Is it my imagination or is his D-string out of tune?

[1337mas7er]

@JayBlackBird Not just you, this dudes outta tune.

[ericmadis53]

@1337mas7er Neither that "dude", nor his guitar are out of tune. Not only is that "dude" a recording artist and instructor with National Guitar Workshop, Guitar Workshop Plus, etc. He was also a piano tuner and luthier (guitar repairman and builder) for years. So I think he knows how to tune a guitar. Jam Play has instructors retune for every single video, using octaves and a tuner.

[MyBluesGuitar]

U are a great player. Nice sound too. Thank you

[GNeuman]

Excellent lesson, thank you!!

[bloozeman1969]

now thats the blues.....good lesson

[GRANDADTOM69]

Great lesson. The inset screens are a real help thanks

[yuriynyr]

Rockin-tom's Gibson 1998 ES-135 guitar

Sick guitar and awesome lesson

[GOPHater]

RonVermillion - LOVED your answer to ADILPROUD's idiocy.

[johnnymccrowe]

thats one nice guitar

[RonVermillion]

I think when he says "I'll give you a minute to work on that, the viewer is supposed to be sharp enough to hit pause" and practice a bit. Duh, I don't think it would be better if he just sat there with the camera running for a minute do you?

Ron

[blikethat]

very nice lessons thanks

[furyyy1]

Thanks, just what I have been looking for/

[WatchingMamut]

wow, what Gibsol model is that?

[DrHogfan]

@WatchingMamut is it an ES-175?

[bitchenclipper]

I really like the pace and delivery method and would VERY MUCH like to see more blues lessons. Thanks Eric for what you have already done.

[paulthebassguy]

[LadoApi]

great video! :D

[JohnnyT712]

i understand how to hammer but i cant hammer on my acoustic :(

[robostomo1]

get ur fingers stronger, i get problems liek that too sometimes

[kernalkorn]

Try putting extra light strings on your acoustic. You'll get a thinner tone but it will be easier to do this kind of stuff.

[KwiggleyStudios]

or get one of those things with the springs on them that builds finger strength

[tinpanalley67]

@JohnnyT712 Are you kidding?

[JeanPaul1964]

excellent teaching!!
