Two Slow Blues Ending Licks

[yamahabigbear123]

do u know if stevie ray ever even used standard tuning

[gr8bluesgtr]

@yamahabigbear123 Possibly when he started out, the vast majority of his recorded work is in Eb tuning.

[Brandon18valensi]

@gr8bluesgtr when he played with albert king he was in standard tuning

[LordSauceness]

Good lesson. subbed! :)

[cryman89]

[MrSlopoke36]

Thanks for posting these.

[WaltonWembleyMusic]

Id love to see you play in next years Crossroads guitar festivel. Make Jimmie Vaughan proud!

[Jackk72]

what gauge strings do you use?

[slash9217]

free lesson monday :D

[thejimster1956]

soooo this first chord or the one chord is a C?What Chords of the Bb are you using?

[grossman7653]

Thank you for the lesson. It is opening up a whole new way of looking at blues for me. I have been always locked into the pentatonic box patterns and this is revolutionary to me. It sounds so good and yet I would never have picked those notes. Which lessons (paid) that you give would you recommend for me to broaden my horizons? This is deeper than just memorizing patterns to me...

[eliteslayer66]

Im gonna find another you

[CelticReject]

You're the best!

[foshizRAWR]

Love the lick. I'm pretty sure JM played something very similar to it at his live LA concert and I was trying to figure it out. Thanks!

[weirdotis]

I'll be at the Philly show too. I'll look for you!

[baseballdude3430]

good stuff. as usual

[SingleCoilVoodoo]

This is a fantastic lesson...it made a few things click for me. THANKS!

[LeJo82]

Thx again for another great lesson. Good Luck in Philly... I tried to figure out why U go from b and slide to d (wich isn't in the minor pent.) in the second lick. It also isn't in the 4chord or 5chord minor pent, but it is in the major b scale, right ? Is this an example of mixing minor and major pent ?

[gr8bluesgtr]

@LeJo82 Yes. Never let a scale tell you no, when your ear tells you yes :-)

[funkenstoffell]

@gr8bluesgtr I think that has just become a famous quote...

[ghost6392]

@LeJo82 thats exactly right. bb king used a combination of the major and minor pent. in different forms. and he never plays a wrong note! sweet huh?

[lstierney]

Excellent stuff. These Free Friday Lessons get me playing at least once a week (which is good!) plus they're great to watch with a beer after work :)

[DaveTheBluesMan16]

Cool licks Anthony. The guitar convention sounds like it's going to be a good time.

[metelegerald]

Free lesson Friday!!!!!! Thanks mannnn!

[safenders]

what key is this or rather where is the root note for the first position so I know where I am.

[gr8bluesgtr]

@safenders Bflat, in half-step down tuning, this puts your root of the I chord at the 7th fret.

[safenders]

@gr8bluesgtr Thanks man, great lesson!

[safenders]

@gr8bluesgtr oh man, I watched the video again and realized you already said this. Don't I feel like an ignoramus. Thanks again lol.

[HerrPudding]

@safenders

E-flat, like always

[col33145]
