[drpakman]

[mellowsweetlady]

WoW..!! This is an amazing lesson I missed out due to channel change. That's why I didn't tune in !!! Thx God !

[SixStringHarmonies]

Nice lesson! Thank u Keith and GW

[JuanDeSoCal]

great great lesson. 

[rawzone1]

Chuck Berry wrote Johnny B Goode {example given @ 3:07} in 1955, recorded and released in 1958 ~ NOT 1956 as Keith mistakenly says @ 3:29 ...

[frankbblues]

talking way too much

[TheSvenien]

?? why Focus of camera ?? We leorn more on 14,48 minuts .Than i have leorn on many years ??

[murfbass]

I wonder if Keith would agree that Chuck is also singing with swing over the straight guitar. He is such an excellent educator.

[shipper38]

Is there anywhere i can get the figures that he is using to follow along with ?

[lvmeile]

Like your teaching

[frankbblues]

what's up with the 5 minutes of just talking?

[SoUrCeLeSs]

3:59 SPIT!!! :D

[Ningirsutyr]

I believe that once again the basic idea of this video is that there is no such thing as the correct way of playing in blues but to follow your feelings and being off-beat doesn't necessarily means a bad thing. In the end, it all depends on preferences and as preferences go, I think I'm an old-school guy seeing how my ears always favors the feel in the shuffle beats over the straight ones except some runs and I'll prefer to create the tension through odd and dissonant chords and mods instead..

[JuanDeSoCal]

@Ningirsutyr

Uh, no. The point of the lesson is that you can play a straight-eight rhythm guitar part against a shuffle beat, or vice versa, and it will create an interesting tension. Or, that as a guitar player, you can mix things up rhythmically by going in and out of synch with whatever rhythm the rest of the band is playing (straight-eight or shuffle).

[cheeseburger1670]

just saw keith with the Blasters Wow ! ! does he Rock n Roll !

[TheDanceofjoy]

good information for me, Wyatt Rocks.

[azombiestool]

Didnt learn much.. awesome playing though.

[AnimeCharlotte1]

keith wyatt rocks!

random note: i think he looks a little bit like jeremy clarkson

[Mr7Grains]

What iphone apps he used???

[winestrat]

Keith is my favorite teacher of all time and I've had some great ones. Nobody compares to Keith. These lessons are AWESOME and INVALUABLE, it's too bad the camera work/editing is so unorthodox, off angle shots, and to many hand shots. It's actually a distraction. The sound quality and material are excellent however. Best on the net. His cd's and books are mandatory IMHO if your serious about blues guitar.

[MrCaribbean]

This is a brilliant lesson, and definitely the key to understanding the feel, phrasing and fundamentals.

[gigicalifornia]

Very intresting!! Never thought about it actually!

[MatsDagerlind]

For many of todays young musicians this is forgotten knowledge. Perhaps Keith should have mentioned Elvis Presley's Jailhouse Rock as a an even more prominent example of playing straight against a shuffle beat. Also in jazz, most notably in bebop from the 30s and onwards, playing straight 16th notes against a swing beat is the very foundation of phrasing. Another amiguity not mentioned here is the feel of the 6/8 or 12/8 beat that is so common to blues.

[Stratocasterfreak]

Where do the Drum Loops Came From is it and Iphone,Ipod ????

[stringrock11]

he' s better than me hehe;P

[live4music1690]

talks to much

[individrus]

where is the cover of the pickups selector?:) like in a musical store- where they tale it off to prevent from stealing:)

[ChanBP]

He looks stoned from 10:39 onwards while playing...

[Killer9299]

fake, so fake, he's not really playing, its just the backing track he's just acting like it

[kratex1]

@Killer9299 Your bad at trolling

[Killer9299]

@kratex1 obviously fake troll lolol

[VegaMaiden95]

one of thebest stuff guitarworld has uploaded that ive seen

[jaffyguitarshred]

[bondman00794]

[Rafterman123]

This is one of the best videos guitar world has ever uploaded

[Aplus89]

after his talk,,.... he really plays guitar!!

[Deussoftwebru]

it's called cross-rhythm...

[MonkeyZo0]

Great series. Looking forward to the next part.

[intwernet]

Just noticed...if you skip to any part of him talking, he always has his left hand up. I just skipped to any part and he always had his hand up :)

[billyb440]

That was so cool... great lesson too.

[m1234n1234]

the shuffle riffs were so much more groovier than the straights

[m1234n1234]

the shuffle riffs were so much more groovier!

[bpl711]

so cool, awesome, blues fan for life

[stratocasterfranck]

Keith Wyatt is fucking cool

[TheMetalHeaD256]

i play metal mostly, but these are my favorite lessons. a lot of people forget that blues was the foundation for metal. and you can do so many things with knowing how to play blues, even when you aren't playing blues. if you know how to vary your rhythms, which is easiest to show in blues, you can be an unstoppable rhythm guitarist and a notable soloist. and the effect of this only amplifies when you get into metal. great lessons. i learn something every time.

[guitarfiend797]

@TheMetalHeaD256 it was basically the foundation for everything

[TheMetalHeaD256]

@guitarfiend797 yeah pretty much. everything 70s and beyond.

[ElGbayRGX]

But....where is the mercy mercy ???.........hahahaha very cool video thnx a lot !!!

[rmoraespinto]

Man... this is a very high quality explanation about internal tension. As a drummer, I constantly shift from straight notes to triplets to create tension. Now, as a guitar player, I am taking advantage of that experience to spice up my solos. Good thing is that I had never watched a lesson that showed this so clearly - and with an excellent historic foundation!

[metalvocalistwanted]

good video \\m//

[ryanc177]

Keith,

The licks that you used at around 11:00 minutes had a very Roy Gaines feel to it.

Jazzy Blues mixed minor and major pentatonic.

I feel like if anyone could explain it, you would be the master!

Please share a few! Very grateful, thanks!!

[Death66reaper6]

im a metal player and i love these lessons. they really help me a lot and give me cool ideas to incorporate into my playing

[TheGreatStonedOne]

He literally doesn't play guitar until 5:00

[jimwalsh2001]

Excellent lesson - I've played for years and this tension twixt the straight and the swing is something that never occurred to me.

[Mo7Vsta]

i think alot of rock/metal guitarist use this kind of feeling in their solos, the go in the like a triplet or just slower then they shred but it could just be 16th notes

[sify11]

this guy's my idol!

[earlerylander]

He doesn't start playing until 5:00

Save yourself the trouble.

[BenCanto]

@earlerylander you reaaally should watch the whole video!

[metalvocalistwanted]

@earlerylander thanks lol

[WalrusDoom]

Keith, you're still trapped in that empty room...I'm gonna free you man, I swear

[gurupod]

Killer lesson!

[greatdeath001]

Super cool! I could definitely utilize this technique in the future. Thank you guitar world.

[netanio]

This is a great guitar / rhythm lesson. Thank you.

[TheLespauladdict]

The reason that they focus in on his hand movements is to break up the monotony in what is called the "Basic Sequence"... Long Shot, Medium Shot, Close Up, which is what they teach the film students at Musician's Institute.

[GuitarSaladBar]

That's great, builds up tension and feeling, very cool!

[ciclosonico]

he's The Man!

★★★★★

[thunderstruck38]

Another great lesson Keith , always a joy watching you teach..

[bertiboy123]

[MrExplorer260]

[estderoma]
