EZ Blues Licks for Lead Guitar Beginners lesson ala BB King

[evilsurro]

stupid!!!!

[pavener]

blues is easy to play, but hard to feel

[bignicker12]

hey man, im a beginner and i have no idea what you're talking about with all the letters and shit, all i know is fret numbers

[usuckamydick]

dummy there is no "Cm pentatonic blues" penta means 5 "tonic" tone (5 tone scale) so you can play a Cm pentatonic (5 note) or a Cm Blues (6 note) ... and other modes...I hate people that teach that can barely play themselves it makes it harder for the real teachers correcting misinformation.... but hey that's the internet! any idiot can make a video!

[davec3487]

what amp does David use, sounds great!

[pipercub1]

This video made me (the beginner say an year of learning at home) to explore blues that i like among other music. I found C pentatonic blues at 8 fret very convinient to practise licks and improvisational skills.

Got one question also. I have strat style guitar at present with 9-42 strings. Do you think that me, the beginner would be advisable to switch to say 10-46 strings to get more bluesy tone. Thanks!

[flyprogunner]

Love the blues. Anybody heard of Fret Daddy fretboard stickers? Thinking of checking them out -- seems like a great way to learn the blues.

[HeyDavidiii]

Useful - cheers

[GooberNS]

I love the tone.

[jeenocai]

[ScottieAult]

[baronofrock]

[dipsetallday75]

[weathered79]

amazing what you can do with 3 notes blues is the most fun to play

[JoseMarti28]

this guy reminds me of mr. mackey from south park .... mm'kay.

[mcnutters17]

lololo

[TehSadest]

I love how he smiles at 0:20 when he bends the Eb to a F :P your awesome!!

[raceman888]

where does he live I want him to teach me the blues

[fenderpolo]

this man is awesome...he is a true teacher..

[Anonymousmuffin]

Ahh i see what your getting at. And you have to bend down whichis annoying. Yeah top strings are easier to grip.

What are you trying to insinuate?? :O

[Griffo2001]

Awesome video. This series is REALLY great :)

[girl911]

at 0:55 he talks about licks.. more than one.. but he only plays one!! where is the rest!! (yeayea i know on video jam tracks i'm sure).. but really does it takes 10 min. to explain 4 notes?!?

[b4rf3r]

David is awesome at taking away 10 minutes of my life and thinking it was 2 min.

Just kidding, he's great.

[ItsChasers]

i do now

[ItsChasers]

i just got a mexi made tele and i want to play the blues. good choice for guitar?

[BlackAngusYoung]

Comments on YT videos helped me decide what kind of guitar to buy or at least to understand what I was looking at in the music store. It seems everyone pretty much agrees the Strat is the obvious choice for blues. I chose a LP because I found one I really liked and I already have a really cheap Squier and didn't want something too similar even if it's way better. My strat isn't nearly as good as my Paul but there is something to be said for the sound it has, especially for blues.

[roguenoobkiller]

my passion to learn the blues is finally starting to be realized...

[BlackCrow1515]

They sure as hell sound great, though.  SRV played on 12s, if I'm not mistaken. I like the way 9s play, but I wouldn't use them for a gig.

[OneTimer1127]

lol, SRV used .13s! He was a madman!

[bc12058]

ya but when his hands got distroyed later in his career he dropped guage and 9s are good for everything i understand why you use them

[Anonymousmuffin]

ur saying the top e string is easier to bend? wtf? The easiest strong to bend is probs G

[Driggas]

Blues FTW

[Mikey430]

Licks licks licks licks licks licks blues licks other licks more licks jam track licks, licks licks lickslickslicks.

[darkeagle551]

yeah but he has a bunch of his own licks

[darkeagle551]

slash plays blues, he always uses pentatonic..

[davethe13th]

[raminile]

[edcc343]

lol guitar journings 0:45

[sakowihe75]

hey david, what kind of strings do you use/prefer? they sound great

[rockongoodpeople]

I use dean markley blue steel strings .011 - .052 - I like thick strings - beefier tone

DT

[mikelpaulo15]

[rootboyslim]

These last four lessons have been the best. Rock on good David Taub, keep up the lick lessons.

[WhatYouReap]

Thanks for all the videos, much appreciate it.

[ThatGreenGentleman15]

David Taub has the best intro speech ever.

David/Next Level Guitar needs a Guitar World column, seriously.

[eroticblack]

Sir im a great admirer of your work! i have one small problem if you could tell me the solution please.

i bought a brand new guitar, the a and g and b strings give a buzz on the 3rd fret and on the 4th fret to a limit.

i tightened and loosened the screws on the bridge. the problem was solved to a limit, but the buzz isn't completely gone.

[mavericknoone]

i also have the same problem on the third fret. going to change my strings soon, maybe i'll find out then

[1952Telecaster]

Fret buzz can be caused by some higher frets, try lifting the strings higher by adjusting your bridge a slight amount until it goes away. You may need the frets dressed. If it persists, take it to a pro guitar guy and have it looked at.

[eroticblack]

thanks

[eroticblack]

na i changed my strings too

[rockongoodpeople]

Sounds like your guitar may need a set up. Could be the truss rod needs adjusting or the action needs adjusting - either could give you a fret buzz.

rock on

DT

[eroticblack]

thanks

[1952Telecaster]

I bet your frets have high spots and may need to be adjusted by filing them. Take it to a pro

[BlackAngusYoung]

Take it in or try to figure out how to fix it yourself but either way don't assume it should be ok or close just because it's a new guitar.

Had problems like this for a couple years before finding out it was never really set up in a way where there was a chance for everything to go right.

[eroticblack]

yeah you're right. i did it my self just raised the strings a bit

[RustyR]

I love that Strat!

PRACTICAL TIP #2

Stare off into space when you;re playing, it 'll make you look more enigmatic

Ok, David needs to be the only one to make videos. His lessons are so awesome that the others become an annoyance.
