Blues Guitar Lesson - Born Under A Bad Sign (w/ jam track)

[Garrett2Jr]

really well done , you got tabs?

[worldstatic]

I thought he played well and with feel and I thought the solo was good and was real. People who hate on this video probably listen to Stevie Vai which and guitar with no soul.

[KinoGuitar]

you talk to much

[bluesbrother1966]

those flames look like shit.

[pericaco]

NICE AMP! the classic 50 is the greatest sounding amp ever!

[CoachG1000]

Do Albert Collins....THE MAN!

[minimalizam006]

play more, talk less :S

[DEBRISTHEREOF]

beginers wanna see good playin and not get their brains ambushed with notes and intervils . because those of us who understand the notes wouldnt need a beginner style lesson so for the sake of beginners lose the waffle and just play

[TonyD5544]

how are you tuned?

[tbizzleshizzle]

(continued)

"coming back down to the root" etc.

Not to split hairs, but its called the Minor Pentatonic scale. There's also a Major Pentatonic scale, so its confusing for students later on if you refer to the Minor Pentatonic as simply "the Pentatonic".

I also find it confusing to name off every interval you're playing during the solo, especially if people have no idea what intervals even are, or how they pertain to the minor pentatonic.

Ok, I'm done nitpicking. Sorry.

[bjpc1359]

hey how about you post your own video teaching this song since you have a "degree" in music rather than just telling this guy everything you think he did wrong?

[brainlesswonder]

He clearly says pentatonic blues scale.

Why would someone with a degree in music who teaches guitar be watching this?

[tbizzleshizzle]

he says "C Pentaton...ahh..C# Blues Scale" at 0:58 ...so to get back to my original point: that can be potentially misleading, and I wont go into detail why I hold this opinion so I don't nitpick the content of this FREE guitar lesson any further.

And as to why I would be watching this....

I was watching guitar related stuff a few months ago and just happened to come across this video. I hope that's an acceptable reason to watch a YouTube video....

[tbizzleshizzle]

I teach guitar for a living, and I have a degree in music. That being said I think this is a great beginner lesson but there's alot more going on in that song. And to you quite honest I don't think the solo does Albert King any real justice, BUT could help students get a feel for playing original licks and not just straight off the record.

I also think some of your terms need clarifying. It would be alot more concise if you used phrases like "resolve to the root" rather than

[Musikman511]

Nice job... thanks ... right, wrong or not... it's still informative. Thanks again.

[beastlybballer]

he looks like andy samberg

[crosbystillsnash68]

thats the worst solo ive ever heard

[paulhb]

@crosbystillsnash68 It wasn't bad. It was lean. Very lean. Very, very lean.

[Rushworshiper92]

@crosbystillsnash68 Dude I highly doubt he poured his heart and soul into that solo. You can come up with many solos when it comes to the blues....some good some bad but he was obviously just giving an example here.

[lastering]

this is/was very cool, i have been messing around with this for years, literally(i am 53) and i remember when cream hit FM radio in '67 or so. i never got it right being i have always thought it was in C, and not C#, completely missed that. it's all right fucking there. and with a 60's SG standard. classical musicians, i am a violinist/fiddle player, isn't that the trip.

regards

thanks pal

[harleyharley11]

Very well done sir!!!!!!

[catssniffs]

Please before you learn this please take the time to leson to the song by albert king. There is some licks and chords missing. Its good he wonts to show people how the song is played and for free.but he does not play it right. If you are going to learn it might as well learn it right, right!

[EIPtuningR32]

man whoever thumbed that comment down is a dipshit. albert king played it wayyy cooler than clapton

[didgeHague]

[zikahendrix]

[Herefortheguitar]

[Phrix0s]

Your awesome man.

Great song.

5/5

[SoloBen247]

can the peavey classic really get a good kinda crunchy blues rock tone like SRV when cranked?

[PMCMANIS]

No, its not a very clean cranked. You'd be better off going with a used fender.

[IIandrokII]

These are the best blues lessons I have found... And I have looked everywhere! Good job man, keep teaching..

[PsychoMonkey94]

I love how your hair moves while ur playing!

[JoBros15754]

dude your a good teach please right me back

[ZeppelinBowd]

hiiii i really enjoyed this. ive been looking into albert king stuff cause its makes me feel good that theres someone that plays upside down like me. =]. im not all that rich so i couldnt buy a left handed guitar. and if i restrung it my dad wouldnt be too happy. thank you so much though.

[SharpShooter92]

Great stuff man. Would you be so kind in telling me what pedal you used for the solo? I really enjoyed it! The sound was very clean. Is it a Boss Blues Overdrive?

[betweenthelicks]

Actually, it's the overdrive channel on the Peavey Classic 50. I've replaced both the speaker and the tubes with Weber and JJ, respectively. It gives it a tighter sound.

[SharpShooter92]

Thanks. I'm really enjoying your videos. I've bookmarked the site and look forward to some more from you.

[betweenthelicks]

Thanks man, check out the forums if you want to suggest a couple lessons.
