Merci beaucoup Mojo. You are a very good teacher and you make this world a better place. Keep up the good work. 

[M2372]

Hey. Thank you so much for the upload. I'm new to playing Blues and this is a favorite song of mine. I've started playing on an Epiphone Casino EB and this video really helps. Can't wait to check out your other breakdowns.

[rodbuoy]

cool lessons man!! very well explained.I,ve been trying to figure out that riff for more years than I care to mention. sometimes the simple stuff is the most expressive.

[howler488]

thats my fav guitar at the moment too ya got an awesome collection thanks for lessons

[LP4ever94]

what guitar- amp are you using?

[hto1971]

nice sounding guitar and amp

[phatznipa66]

hey man, i truly think ur great guitarist, im only a beginner, i can play 1 song and a few riffs such as voodoo child and iron man, but im learning this now, as i have such a good teacher, but i cant seem to get the right sound on the first chord section

[Batfoley]

Thanks man! Although i've bin playing it on acoustic it sounds fine! I aint great at bending tho so i just slide everything to the 4th fret in those cases

[JDoubleOP]

@Batfoley lol me too

[TheBearcatt]

You make it easy for all us wannabes.Thank you.I have a request.If you take requests,I wondered if you might do a lesson on the country guitar instrumental "Honky Tonk"

[FIRECRACKER392]

Great sound for a non 335,,

Are you tuned in G ?

I like Mojo & Marty,,,are their video lessons available for learning finger picking Blues for a complete beginner,,, i want to play North Mississippi Hills Blues style.... please reply

[stratoblaster2]

@FIRECRACKER392

[boligrafo50]

Eres muy buen músico. Y un gran maestro.... con tu ayuda se aprende mucho. Gracias.

[boligrafo50]

Eres muy buen músico. Y muy buen maestro.... con tu ayuda se puede aprender mucho. Gracias.

[MasonGuitarGuy]

You are amazing.

I don't even know if you will respond to this, but I have an Epiphone Les Paul and I can't quite get the same sound, and my strings feel really stiff when I try to bend. This is the only guitar I have that does that! But yet my best sounding one. Could you help me? Thanks

[ThreeChordGuitar]

@MasonGuitarGuy Thanks for the kind words :) Strings too stiff: what gauge are they? Maybe a lower gauge would help? Also, it's a Gibson scale, therefore shorter than a Fender scale, which may account for the difference in feel? Be well :)

[MasonGuitarGuy]

@ThreeChordGuitar

Well I just bought a strat, and I was playing it a half step down one day ,and it sounded much better

And my strings were 11 gauge.. I hate them..

[amphicles]

@MasonGuitarGuy

Fantastic! Never seen this so easy..... Thnk you!!  Great!

[vincent860906]

[CRAIGARRR]

Is the turn around at the forum?

Sure would enjoy knowing the turn araound progression

[shellsjoint]

Nice Tele's

[ak474orM16]

Very cool, I learned another one from you that I've spent a lot of time playing and incorporating into other blues arrangements. You need to show the turnaround.

[CRAIGARRR]

@ak474orM16 He plays quite a fancy turn around huh? I think even any basic turn around would work.. And just embelish it alot! Just like he has done! He rocks!

[ElKarlito13]

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Thanks for the very kind words/wishes :)

[bassist069]

i always tought it was E-G-A instead of E- open strings - A

[musicstr]

awesome

[PageandPlant4Life]

john lee hooker has a very unique style, almost sloppy

[taffydavenport1]

I was doing good until near the end but then you went pretty fast and I kinda lost it. When you went into your onw kinda riff improv..I was done...sigh..thanks though.

[lamaredgeworthjr]

your a very good teacher mr. clean .

people!! you need more stuff to post than worry about how good the vids are. you dont need to see every thing if you know you guitar. if you know your guitars better you'll have less to b***h about.

[radiosandclocks]

this guy is too cool....and honest!

[ccrcountry]

Good lesson Mr. Clean.

U rocks

[AibersonMVP]

hey, ive got a doubt, what about the last part?? with the first strims???

[punktunelover]

SPUNK!!??? lol

[Cruden1106]

No need for the above camera angle he explains it perfectly. Thanks for the tutorial!

[MinningAround]

Hey, man. You should put the camera above so we can see where your left hand fingers are landing.

[AibersonMVP]

i agree with minning arround, we´ll thak you if you put the camera in that position.

[guitarpains]

lolololololol Hi Mr. Clean but ya your a good teacher.

[OneGreatChance]

Thank you so much!! There are many lessons out there but in most of them you don't understand anything because the guy just plays and says sometimes a few words about what he does. But you really describe it very well and also play the thing you're talking about several times, this really helps, thank you!!

[Fagner022]

Thank you guy....great teacher..

From Curitiba, south of Brazil.

[darkiller93]

[sunnjeep]

My favorite John Lee song - thanks for posting this. It was very helpful for a beginner like me!

[ottvalley]

Because I'm French-Canadien

[ottvalley]

He sounds French-Canadian-

[ThreeChordGuitar]

He's not Canadian... but he most assuredly is French. 8 million French Canadians in the world, 60+ million French people... how's the Canadian angle coming up first? :)

[projai]

Mojo

Thanks for all the lessons ,you have great teaching abilitys.

[ironmanforge]

you are one ofthe best on here brother&'ve been at this a LONG time !

[cajunharleychik]

[marchonore]

Is there tab available for this?

[HudsonRyde]

great video! i used to play guitar until some nerve damage wiped out my fingers :(

but i learned harmonica instead, so i will be transposing this to harmonica.. we'll see how it goes..lol

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Sorry to hear about the fingers, but glad tos ee you found another musical outlet.

[penguinzrule12]

its got a lot of spunk to it lol sorry immature guy here lol

[karl198]

this video was very helpful to me when i was starting out guitar :D, i still can't play it like john lee hooker though :(

[den11s]

very cool love that song man, Played it very well and to your own rhythm, well done and thanks def goin to learn this from you

[ThreeChordGuitar]

My pleasure, thanks for the kind words!

[zivmeiri]

in the start you played it way too fast,

its blues....

slow down!

[gitarcicagri]

but it's blues it''s feeling so I think it isn't so bad he did it good

[Baa072]

great lesson! Cant wait to try this out on my guitar. thank you.

[brooklinmike1]

I love your style of teaching. I wish I could find a teacher like you. I am just getting back into guitar in my 40's and I feel like I can actually play again after watching just a few of your lessons. Merci beaucoup!

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Thanks for the very kind words. I certainly hope that my videos can be of assistance :)

[bluesdude02]

Nice Guitar. What type of tone and volume pots are used with the TV Jones pickup. are they 250k or 500k.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

This guitar has 250k pots.

[doinkusamongus]

Thanks for this superbly clear lesson. You made me want to pull out the Telecaster. Yours looks and sound fantastic! Thanks again.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

You, sir, made my day :)

[Goodmute]

this guitar looks and sounds great!!

[Nandenise]

Muito boooooom mesmo

[lordieuan777]

Fingering and G-strings lol.. I'm such a child...

[cowie86]

hey, can you explain what notes are in the second riff (4:50 to 5:00) because the video kinda jumps around so I can't make out what you are saying!

[sticky1991]

at 6:50 Mojo explains the riff again.

[audi348]

Good job guy!!!

can you tell me how to play a ZZ top blues?

[miglesgr]

great job!!! thanks from brazil.

[miglesgr]

very good! excelent classes...thanks from brazil.

[shrunkenhead145]

great riff! however, just for everyone's clarification - when you talk about the second part of the riff, starting on the open E chord, the "nothing" you speak of (unfretted) is really just a G chord. A G5 chord, to be exact. Sometimes it sounds good to play a low g in the bass, plus all that "nothing."

[hOrr9r]

Whats the best guitar to start with, but also play this song on it? :D

Makes fun watching you enjoying you this awesome song just as much as i do

[snakkajak]

could you explain how to do that part at about 2:05, on the top two strings before going back into the boom boom riff please? that sounds awesome!

+ awesome vid dude! easy to follow, and explains everyghing!

[Joetehpsycho]

Ive got John Lee Hooker's autograph on my Strat's pickguard, Passed down through a generation or two.

Anyways, Great vid, I'm having fun playing this riff.

[bradhurley]

Yea it is in standard tuning EADGBE

[morrenk13]

this is standard tuning right?

thanks

[kdjfnvjvd]

awesome buddy. thanx!!!

[95marine94]

fantastic

[Muzikman127]

have you seen this video (you probably have) video of hooker playing boom boom watch?v=rOyj4ciJk34. He totally throws the idea of timing and chord progressions to the wind, it's a refreshing change from all the strict twelve bar you hear around everywhere today.

[death5089]

ho ho ho ho!

[RDblues47]

is that a crook guitar with a tv jones PU?

[ThreeChordGuitar]

it most certainly is :)

She's been my #1 since I got her. Great, great guitar.

[groinkishness]

thanks bro!!!! its funny. im startin to realize that most of the stuff i listen to is just regurgitated high power blues!!!! thanx again!!!! cheers n beers!!!!

[kitecrackers]

Just lovin all your lessons. Thanks dude.

[hcgazoo]

Thanks for making these video's man you are a great teacher. Good description and a walk through so easy even I can learn these licks!

Cheers!

[shendue1]

[caboose35367]

Great vid A+ definately. This video helped me clarify this riff so much. Thanks man for the great help and other great videos!!! P.S. That Tele is Beautiful!!

[GolfFlop]

[mn2blues]

Quit taunting me with those amazing Tele's....lol

[TheVigilanteMan]

Thanks Mojo

[drachir11]

Do you got tabs written out? its so much easier to see etc :P

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Thanks. I originate from France, so English is my third language. Thanks for watching!

[ASDEW1880]

I was gonna say a wisconsin/minnesota accent too....

[rout57]

He shows how melodic and good sounds blues with open chords, but singing and feeling this song in this way? It seems very hard.

[WAYPAL68]

mojo i think your a good teacher.thanks bro.

[evernier]

decidemment je me lasse pas de tes videos, merci et surtout t'arretes pas^^ !!!

[hcgazoo]

Well Done! Thanks for posting!

[drakdargon]

i like the part from 1:58 to 2:02! can you send me the tab of that part plz? you rock m8! :D

[leemond09]

[ApocryphalBob]

Dimples is a different song.

[miiissi]

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Congratulations! You're an idiot :)

[baddmaddogg]

haha. i like that... that guy has no idea of having an own style he wants to copy and get a pik cus mostly everybody else uses one. he dont get that people have their own ways of playing some get picks some dont. its a preference.. buts hes an idiot

[pesed1234]

je visite souvent vos videos et y prends du plaisir. Mais quelques crétins semblent vouloir vous déstabiliser. Ne vous découragez pas. Très cordialement.

[canningtonmanor]

Any chance i could get you to post  The last time by the Stones

[BluesbreakerWyatt]

Wow!Stupid man!

[GUYSY1]

I'm stuck on the second riff 4mins 40secs , i think its A,G,A on the G string then he says C Open 2nd D, what string is this?

[gothdude94]

what do you mean if you could play as well at JLH, youd have a career? you could have one now, your good.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

That's very kind of you to say!

[ireynolds1]

Your version sounds like the the Animals' version from the 60's. Very good

[ScouseStrat]

Great lesson - it's been a blast learning this one!! Thanks again!
