[almai989]

[0797360080]

just start learning u talk to much

[ecojot]

I downloaded one of your blues courses from True Fire and am enjoy everything you bring to the blues. Thanks a lot!

[IvanLattay]

Merci beaucoup ! Thanks a lot from France ! Your explainations are perfect, and your different tricks from different Blues players to play the song are very useful, thanks. What is your guitar ?

[krigare1879]

Thanks a lot, I improved my Playing thanks you!

[picolodaemao]

Very hard to see your finger,because your far from camera and the image

[picolodaemao]

there is no tabs at the web site were is it?

[djroeable]

whats your beef with his superb name ???!!!

[Xelas112]

Super lesson, excellent play and explanations, thank you.

[MrRoots57]

Hey, I don't find the tab on the link, why?

[PepJuice]

that was a waste of both our time.. sorry. :-(

[ylcn77ylcn]

Hi I wish you success

[RusnakBanjo]

Great lesson..I like the way you verbalize almost everything you do while you're doing it and repeating a few things as you go. As you may already know, a lot of folks have their guitars in their laps while they are following you. It gives the student time to try each section before you go to another....Can you talk a little about the right hand fingering you and other folks use. I can't see your ring finger but are you using it a lot in your blues style? What did Johnson use?

[CeciSWEC]

brilliant!! thank you so much!!!!!!!

[vinnys025]

Dam....you made me look for my phone. 

[Ezguitarpick]

Hey you taught this old dog a new trick or two. Thanks!

[confoundedbrilliance]

Thank you!

[wildwestpoint]

how to do that lick on 05:06- 05:08? anyone please..

[confoundedbrilliance]

@wildwestpoint

In the open " E" chord pick/hammer the first low note of that chord and immediately after that pick the open high "E" note, the untouched open string and let it ring out.

Practice this till it sounds like lick one on the video.

[confoundedbrilliance]

@wildwestpoint

A slight correction: On the first note of the first fingered fret , that would be the "B" note in the chord! The rest is as I said in the last post.

[billiamperson]

@TrueFireTV, @5:04, i think Johnson is actually hitting the 4th string, 6th fret simultaneously with the shuffle. Its easier to put index finger on 5th string, 2nd fret....middle finger (instead of ring) on 5th string, 4th fret....pinkie on 4th string, 6th fret. Just lift the middle for the shuffle and keep the pinkie in place. Pinching the 6th and 4th strings sounds good.

[wildwestpoint]

can u be my personal teacher?

[emitra]

Grazie, sei un vero maestro!

[clarkewi]

You are a genius.

[AscendingGuitarist]

@hm333333 If you want the original recording that Robert Johnson played in, I believe he tuned down half a step, then put a capo on the second fret. Why he just didn't keep it in standard and capo the first fret, I don't know.

[MrGrompfgrompf]

Merci merci merci from France for this terrrrrrrrrrific lesson !

[lasalleman]

Great blues.  You have a CD out?

[macbuckets30]

great teacher



[volosr]

a perfect lesson...!!!thank you my friend...

[timberbeast420]

@hm333333  sounds like standard tuning to me

[timberbeast420]

Thank you Dave,this is the best ,,a great help to me,,

[hm333333]

Anyone....what tuning is the guitar in? thanks

[hm333333]

Great lesson David! Thank you.

[dwsstlouis]

Very nicely done - wish I would have searched out RJ tunes on you tube after the first time I read Clapton's autobiography. Hope you are well and please post more.

[frokkelprokkel]

dude! are u drunk on this video?

[missystu]

Learning should be fun.

[Grungadin]

Hope i commented before but if not, you're a great teacher, and could make a lot of spare cash doing this guaranteed. Thanks for giving it to us free of charge!

[benjnh]

Nice instruction! This is an incredibly useful video.

I'm used to interwebs instructors referring to strings by the wrong number (counting the low E as "1" instead of the high E as it should be) so at first I kept hitting the 3rd string when you said 4th - it took me a minute to figure out why it sounded so off :)

[sticxar]

haha. you're last name is Hamburger.

[MrMikkihiiri95]

@sticxar your*

[SupairDup]

I think Freddy King was generally considered a Texas not a Chicago blues guy but I could be mistaken

[benjnh]

@SupairDup Born in Texas, Freddie moved to Chicago with his family around his 15th birthday - his style was definitely influenced by both Texas and Chicago traditions...

[eduand2223]

Hello, my friend, this lesson is really very, very cool, tanks, and continue teaching. I'm from Montevideo, Uruguay, South América, My name is Eduardo. I like the blues very much, and want learn more. Congratulations. Very happy new year 2011.

[unCool1984]

David , Love your lessons. Keep them coming dude.

[Tommo348]

Thanks so much for helping me out with this, your a great teacher - 5/5

[autinspare]

really interesting...I'd already stolen all of Freddie Kings licks but found the johnny shines section a revelation. Check the FK take on Johnson's off beat flick with the g/g# in the version on Stayin at home with the blues.

[wvgman]

David Hamburger rules and brings it down to our level! Great work, Sir David!

[MrCheccoblues]

Sei Una PUZZA!!!!!!!!!!!

[JoePassIsMyIdol]

Excellent job. What's really hard for me is playing separate rhythms in the bass and in the treble. Is there a lesson just on that somewhere?

[richardpeej]

Very informative video my friend -love it ! Richard

[mayito714]

Thank you for this Blues lesson. You just opened my eyes to some of the actual uses and applications of the pentatonic scales from the 4 to the 1 and fron the 5 to the 1...You put together for me the fouth, third and first position minor pentatonic scale in "E" while doing the Freddy King electric rip towards the end of your video. I found this video to be very informative...

[ibanez550emg]

hey that was great thanks for cover every angle of this song

[kramred]

What about the melodies he is also playing on E??

[rghunnicutt]

Thanks for the time, you play very well. Your instructions are also very easy to follow. I've been playing for 6 months and get to add this classic to my list of songs now. If you could only teach me to sing :)

[1lupus]

Simply the best examination of the song I have seen. Thankyou

[OfficialUTubeCEO]

Fantastic!!!

Sounds great with a Capo on the 2nd fret too!

[VQgel]

[Fileno93]

[estano9111]

[cjoey39]

Very concise and well organized lesson. This is the real stuff and every guitar player should learn at lest some of this style! Bravo!!! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"

[willy346]

Awesome gees!!

[bbreon75]

Dude! That's that old-style blues sound I've been looking for to learn! awersome!

[matiukpl]
