[olafbigandglad]

oh. johnny cash finger. now i get it. umm. didn't buddy usually tune down a half step or a step?

[dubbly1]

How did you buy all those guitars.......what job do you have?

[eliteslayer66]

Is that a srv signature i spy behind you =D love mine

[Gondin1]

Yeah, I got the privilege of seeing Buddy a couple weeks back, and this lick is definitely inspired by him!!!

[Scoota97]

Nice Pats sweatshirt...I have a new level of respect for you!! Do you have a connection to the NE area?

[ThreeChordGuitar]

I live in Northern New England :)

[Scoota97]

Nice! Seacoast NH here...Do you play any gigs around your area?

[ThreeChordGuitar]

I did for a bit, now trying to put a different little band together. I hope to play out sometime in 2010 :)

[Scoota97]

Keep us posted...I'm sure you would generate some interest from the YouTube community... Take care.

I learned this lick and went to my regular lesson, where we happened to be working on blues in A. My teacher recorded a 12 bar in A and then told me to play over it while he wrote something out. I threw this lick in a couple of times, and he was impressed. Great fun, thanks.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Very cool!

[BLacKCatB0ne]

mojo this one sounds super smoooth man. I am very new with the guitar but a bigtime Buddy Guy fan so thanks for posting some Buddy inspired licks! Any chance you can post some Muddy inspired licks too? Either way, Thank you for all the great lessons!

[gummylipstick]

[cotedurhone]

Great video, is that a gordon smith on the wall behind you? any chance you could demo that.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Nope... on the wall, we have a Lentz, an SRV strat, a MojoTwanger T, a Huber Dolphin Jr and a Crook Custom T-style...

[amast3rMind69]

[ThreeChordGuitar]

I only have one... an SRV strat. But thanks for asking.

[gishuk]

[DonMoc]

This lick is from "Damn right i got the blues" right?^^

[ThreeChordGuitar]

yes, it is inspired by that song indeed.

[DonMoc]

I knew it!^^

[sparky69kel]

hi mojo... please add me to your list of appreciative fans, thanks for your generous lessons and reviews, especially the "blues licks in A"

apx. 6 months ago i acquired a Swart AST HEAD Mk II & Cabinet from M-toyz, i would appreciate your take on the AST. i DO like mine and often run a Blues Jr. through the cabinet for another sweet option. i'm in VT an hope to hear you live in Portland??? someday soon... again, THANKS.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Hey there, I love the AST. Best amp I ever owned. As for the Portland area, yes I am located in that general area. I do not currently play out, though, but if that were to change, I would update you guys :)

[SandorTheHound3]

please post the tab for this

[hcmcemtiv]

Hey Mojo, how are you doin'? I was watching your video with your Predator and was very curious as to what type of Seymore Duncans you put in it. I have a Peavey EXP Generation in all black and would like to "juice" it up. Thank you for your dedication to the cause!

[norskihead]

Great job as always..Saw Buddy and BB 3 mos ago here in NY.......They were great and so are you

[GardijanBoston]

[BuckMarley612]

Mojo, you're simply the best man. you really do help out guys like myself who are picking up the guitar really late and i cant thank you enough. please keep up the good work my friend!

[ThreeChordGuitar]

You made my day. Thanks! :)

[BuckMarley612]

[CSBluesman]

[ThreeChordGuitar]

[aubreywithoutYou]

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Thanks! It's Swart AST, with a Visual Sound Route 66 thrown in for good measure :)

[nidumite]

[oldrocker247]

Good blues lick....I morphed it a little bit to fit my style...but still the same basic lick...thanx

[ThreeChordGuitar]

I love it that you made it yours... that's the whole point! Keep on rockin' :)

[sofnwhat]

[tommymorgan999]

hey mojo, thanks for the vids, i can play your licks an all that no problem with a little practise, the problem i have is , ive been learning scales for months now and can play up and down over an bak wat ever way on the am penta scale, what i can do is solo or improvise over a backing track, im really starting to lose heart in it and go bak to normal songs, i really wana get better but i really dont no wat to do , i just cant solo , any help is much appreciated , thanks

Tom

[tommymorgan999]

hey mojo ,another gr8 vid thanks for that,

a problem i have is , is that i can play the licks you teach etc with no problem with a bit of practice, i have been on the am pen scale now for months i can play it up and down and what ever way no problem, what i CANT do is jam or solo , or improvise , is there any hints or tips u could give me as im startin to lose heart in it and just going bak to playin normal songs,

[ThreeChordGuitar]

I'd recommend listening to a lot of the greats, then learn their solo note for note. Then keep playing and stay away from their notes and let yours show up :)

[tintinet]

No such thing as too many E blues licks!

[ThreeChordGuitar]

That's what I thought! :D

[mindcrazer]

Love the design on the Crooks.

Nice lesson to ,by the way .))
