COS WE LIVE ON THE EDGE! hah. phat

[jason18241]

You remind me of a dude I work with! I am digging that guitar what kind is it? awesome skills bro im with you all the way!

[JeffBlazer74]

@jason18241 Thanks, man. That guitar is made by Orpheum. It's a resonator. It has a very "tinny" sound but even more so since the camera I used has poor sound quality. It is a nice, little guitar to play blues on though. It has that down-home Mississippi crossroads feel to it. ;)

[dainbramage777]

great lesson man, you make me really wanna master funk guitar. great chord progressions there, keep living on the edge! inspiring stuff!

[JeffBlazer74]

@dainbramage777 Thanks a lot! Funk is some of the most fun I've had on guitar. But boy does a good bass player really help!

[brimcg322]

Like your style bud! Made me fuckin laugh anyway. Nice chord progressions :)

[JeffBlazer74]

@brimcg322 Thanks a lot. I was trying to balance being silly with a bit of instructional ideas as well. Glad you enjoyed it!

Hey dude, fun video. I want to smack the a7 in the face through, because it won't do what I want it. Wanna slide some tabs my way? :)

[JeffBlazer74]

@HomeMadeWhiskey Thanks, dude. I play A7 a couple of different ways. The easiest is at the 2nd fret. It's basically just an A chord with the G note added on the high E string. The trickier way to play A7 is up at the 9th fret. Like this:

8 = middle finger

9 = pinky

7 = index finger

x = mute

9 = ring finger

Written out it looks like "C#/A7," which just means A7 with C# (the 3rd) in the bass. Hope this helps!

I like your lessons man, great teaching and entertaining at the same time!

just for the lolz:

Lesbian prefer Fingerstyle:

Wrong, BI-Ladies prefer Fingerstyle.

Fingerstyle players get quartets.. you know why?

Coz, some girls like bass, some like rhythm and some like melody.. and guess what? We can do all at the same time. So you do the math ;)

[JeffBlazer74]

Thanks a lot! Appreciate the feedback. Hahhaahh. I'll have to take what you say into consideration next time. ;)

[JeffBlazer74]

@ThaKillahCrime Thanks, man! Really appreciate the comment, dude!

[ouro8oros]

when i do the E7#9 chord the high E string sounds too much because this one is never mute , help me plz.

[JeffBlazer74]

When I play E7#9, I usually play it without sounding the open low OR high E strings. I typically play just the 4 notes on the remaining middle strings, and do this practically unconsciously. I'm able to mute the two open E strings by the way I lay my left hand against the fretboard. I tilt my hand just enough so that the side of my pinky kills the high E ringing and curl my thumb over the top to mute the low E from ringing. Hope this helps.

[ouro8oros]

Thanks man , it helps me a lot.

[kangjiho]

reckon you can make some simple tabs? I dont get some of the chords =/

[JeffBlazer74]

Yea, I'll do that for you. Give me a bit though. I'll send it shortly.

[ouro8oros]

even your humour is funky

[JeffBlazer74]

Dude, I just hit the record button and improvise. I have no idea what I'm going to say or do before I do it. ;)

Thanks, Jim. See what I mean by losing focus. I could do this dumb crap all day long without really creating anything. ;)

[JimCimEntertainment]

You really are a good guitarist. We have to try and compose something together if we ever stop fucking around : )

[JeffBlazer74]

Heheh. Thanks, Jim. More to come!
