[HenfieldWill]

@MongoBread05 Of course you can - anything you want from my YouTube channel - that's the point of it all: to help other people. :-)

[WISHBONE127]

Thank you.

[JosephMalicke]

@WISHBONE127 They sound pretty freakin' interesting to me? They have a thick nice sound. Not your typical guitar progression... it's ok...

[RENDUI]

[peregrinar]

Will, another great, simple and well explained lesson. From now on I have a teacher and a good friend!

[HenfieldWill]

Glad you find the stuff useful. :-)

[misterroyaltee]

oo man i luv riffing

[MrMusicM67]

in the beginning it sounded like change the world - eric clapton lol

[kipling1957]

Very nice, Will. Just enough detail and well explained. I keep shelving getting a grip on the blues - which should be 101 for a guitarist. But this is a comfortable way in. I'll definitely check out your other stuff. Cheers, mate!

[IIphoenixxxII]

о я сделал первые шаги к изучению блюза )) Thank you !! :)

[fw1774]

perty green dots..

[RoR0RoRoR0RoR0R0]

your a good egg mate

[greenandredshirt7]

this is a song called melissa...isn t it?

[HenfieldWill]

No - it's just a simple blues riff - as old as the hills... :-)

[brslolo]

muchas gracias por utilizar parte de tu tiempo en enseñar a los que no sabemos, es estupendo, gracias de corazón.

[kdixon7244]

Hi Will - very interesting video (and I've learned Anji from you too!) Could you let us know how you're strumming the chords? When I strum these chords I often sound out a string that isn't supposed to be struck, so should I be plucking? A glimpse of your strumming hand would have been useful here. Thanks again.

[heisking]

He's plucking. No strumming necessary.

[Deverow3]

Good chord diagrams, close ups and sound is good. Would request you to please PLAY THE PIECE first, so we can get an idea what it should sound like in whole. After you play the whole thing...then talk/teach

THANKS for your postings

[mrADA]

yes

[Deverow3]

I see the chord names and where they are played on fret...what are the other numbers that keep flashing...ie 2 1 42 ???

What did I miss?

[HenfieldWill]

It's the bar: beat count - so, for example - 3:2 means bar 3, beat number 2. :-)

[thevendrwu]

thanks , you hvae a very good way of teaching

[magicdog200]

thanks 4 sharing this Will, great stuff!
