Pebber, the blues was where I started playing by ear... it remains one of my favorite genres of music till this day. I'm glad you had a chance to meet and learn from someone like Jesse Ed Davis. I am going to devour all your videos on Youtube, while I practice your lessons on Pdf. No other online teacher needed!! A Million thanks !

WOW, you knew Jesse Ed Davis? I heard he was Lennon's favourite guitar player, heard anyways. I have tattoed on my arm the names of dead legends and he's the next one on the list. RIP, it must've been heart breaking when you heard he died. Rock on brother!!

JESSE LIVES ON!!

[TheFunkify]

Some BB King in there, Freddy (Hideaway), Muddy, Elmore. I'm off to look up some of your jazzier stuff. You cook, man.

[SolorFlair]

WOW wee. Love your Stile. Nice work :) All I can say is I do not think A lot of the Super Stars in the LIGHTS, or the Graves, could or can compete with you. in blues. You are good in Classical as well. But here i can see you actually Fealing the music, and it is evedent in the Next Video..LOVE to see you into them Notes. Wow me and my wife could feel it as well Mmmm Nice Tune.

I didn't know about those musicians, I saw the TAJ MAHAL - Everybody Got To Change Sometime (1968) video and I like it. Jesse Ed Davis looks mexican or somewere near...

I think I should learn more blues..the teacher I had always gave us some blues stuff to learn because he said its the basics, and metal and these styles come from there...what blues songs or stuff you recommend me to learn first?The few bluesy licks I learned were very fun to play and here you play awesome licks

[pebberbrown]

Not Mexican - American Indian he's native American Indian.

Jimmy Reed ~ Muddy Waters ~ John Lee Hooker ~ Elmore James

[Okpolosi]

@signofthehammer Kiowa for sure and maybe Cherokee ??...check out early Charlie Musslewhite & the Charles Ford Blues Band for some early Robben Ford and of course Taj Mahal for Jesse, Leavin Trunk & Divin Duck Blues are a couple staples of mine from that album

[DaveEnsor]

Very nice , you always inspire me to play more

[pebberbrown]

Thanks for your support!

[jsepcgo]

That was awesome Pebber. I'd like to second the request for a vibrato lesson. Also, maybe something on various bending techniques utilized in the blues.

[pebberbrown]

No time until the end of May for a new subject - I have an agenda right now that I am following for an important semester end project.

[averylicious22]

My Father told that the half-whole diminished scale works well with blues is this true?

[pebberbrown]

Not simple 12 bar blues. He's talking about altered V chords and III-vi-ii- progressions.

Thats more jazz than blues.

So NO.

[averylicious22]

Thanks, I will inform my father that he is incorrect.

[pebberbrown]

He's not "incorrect' - just that guitar oriented regular 12 bar blues only uses pentatonic and blues scales. Wha he is referring to is more advanced as in jazz and jazz/blues. The half-whole diminshed scale sounds really out there when you play it on a 12 bar blues. IF you want to hear awhole song and solo using the h-w-h scale, the go to my video SYMMETRICAL WORLDS - that whole solo is done using the half-whole scale. You will agree that the sound of it is too weird for most regular blues.

[MooseyFate100]

Hey Pebber, could you make a quick video about vibrato? I've been trying to master it and it looks like you've got it down pretty well.

[J0EMOMMA726]

woah

[MetalMatt2510]

Thats was great :-)

[312chicagoadam]

I cannot think of a BETTER way to pay tribute to your mentor and friend!

WOW!!!

[johnnuanda]

Wow,so many ideas over a 'simple' blues progression,thanks Pebber.
