[738324]

hi mojo thanks for these lessons just started playing at age 61 and have learnt so much from your videos really help and inspire me so much thanks again rob

[SuperBlueyes2011]

i'm really enjoying this - just got my first guitar, a fender accoustic, three days ago, and now I can already play a bit of the blues! Yay! Thank you!

[FIRECRACKER392]

This is exact sound i love,,love open G,,, i have a reissue 64 Les Paul Custom 335,

(my beginner ) :) , and several good accustics, But never played in my life

I want to play north Mississippi hills style, I think i could get going from this if i could see more of your right hand.

Can you help me out on starting a RL Burnside riff ?, I love the repetitious style blues.. Help me Mojo !

I love how they stay up top w/about 3 cords

Thats what i`d like to start on... Thanks for yur uploads :)

[koniu96]

can you give me tabs, please. i'm not english so i can't understand everything you say

[tommythunder99]

Mojo, a few years ago I bought a guitar, a Lite Ash Telecaster to start out with. I discovered your video's and learned how to play guitar. Now I upgraded to a Vintage 52 reissue Tele and I'm still learning from you. If it wasn't for you, I might have put the guitar down. A big thank you. You're one of the best online teachers around.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

@tommythunder99 thank you so much for the kind words. It means more to me than I can express.

[tommythunder99]

@ThreeChordGuitar No sweat brother. Much respect for sharing your knowledge with us! You must really love music.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

@tommythunder99 Yes, I do really love music. It's my oldest friend, and it's never left me down. It picks me up when I need it, allows me to express feelings I could never put into words, and is also there when I'm having a fun time shared with friends :)

[tommythunder99]

@ThreeChordGuitar Same here.. Only now I can also express some feelings through my guitar. I'm on your facebook page by the name of Tom Van San. I'm not a groupie, don't worry, just showing my appreciation. ;)

[outnumbird2]

YAY THANKS TO YOU I GOT AN AWSOME GRADE IN MY MUSIC CLASS FOR SHOWING THIS OFF... I LOVE Mr AWSOME TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! YA THE BEST :)

[SculptorLV]

real good presentation thanks a lot!

still can you more clearly describe pitching strings during the slides?

[mpm111144]

Wow!  way coo! Ta!

[liam8984]

a little bit of this sounds like la grange by zz-top

[burtleturtle123]

when you explain the riff at the end you dont give the right tabs i dont believe...

you said 3-D, 0-G, 3-D, 0-D, 0-G, 0,D 3-D (Bend) 0-G

this isnt enough tabs for the whole riff.. the riff, if i counted right, is somewhere around 10 notes.

im learing it right now.. ill tab the riff correctly after i finish learning it..

but by no means am i meaning any disrespect, ive watched ALOT of your videos and they help me immensely. Great job and Thanks!

[MrBakounine]

Excelente leçon... un grand merci d'Espagne.

[TheFenderplecre]

Thanks again for a great lesson.

[PurpleMorena]

you helped me in a way that no money or guitar teachers would ever help. thanks, man!

[backwoodsgps]

almost sounds like slide guitar

pretty cool effect!!!!!

[Cryoc6]

[Graphicsk8]

hey, i made a better sounding slightly different lick/song out of this and was wondering if i, and my band could use it and play it in concerts please.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

By all means! Can't wait to see you post a video of it :)

[Graphicsk8]

thank you so much, i will make a video, i dont know how to make it a video response so ill post it on my channel and let you know!

[able2ful1]

@ThreeChordGuitar sorry i meant there.

[OGbedwetter]

You ruined that telecaster in my opinion mate no offense, but if your gunna have it look like that at least buy one with a rosewood neck, and I prefer a humbucker in the bass position and a strat pickup in the mid position but thats just me.

[beast444555]

@OGbedwetter dude no one cares

[mrshlltoy]

You're an idiot.

[PRSinglecut1]

@OGbedwetter: I don't think he ruined it at all, it my not be my taste in a guitar, bet everybody has a different like and opinion on guitars.

[BoCGoD]

i accually agree with OGbedwetter... wait... bed wetter WTF XD hahaha

[ADILPROUD]

[DMJ1003]

thnx a lot

i'm learning loads from ur vids

[4L60E]

Howdy Mojo! I am learning fast from you thanks to the phenomenon of the internet. I am curious, when did you start taking lessons... how did you learn to play so well?

Keep 'em coming!

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Congrats on your fast progress! Keep up the great work.

I have never taken a lesson - but I'd like to, some day. How did I learn? By playing. A lot. And listening to CDs. And playing along. It's all fun :)

[philsham26]

very nice man, good teaching also. it seems easier for me to play both strings in the riff with my thumb but that is just me. way to go thanks for the vid

[HiroTheWonderDog]

You have a talent for teaching as well as for playing.

How about posting the tab (or a link to tab) for each video, so we can practice away from the computer?

[iv3shf]

thanks for the lessons, i picked up the guitar since years, and it is delightful to watch your video and learn thank you for sharing... frank

[mma357]
