An oldie but a greatie ????. Was a bit confused when you added vibrato to some notes in the lick segments but not when playing the full lick.
Great Lick, great Sound! I'll practice that for the next few weeks! ????
Great stuff Marc. Looking forward to attempting these after nailing the beginner ones ????????????????????????
I like it! Thank you
Thank you Marc for making this lesson. Cheers from Indonesia.
That’s not what your diagram says
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was away from guitar for too many years. Your videos have been exactly what I needed to jump start back into it.
Very nice Sir ????????????
Nice lesson but you need better lighting in your videos
Thank you Maestro, for untiring effort to give us exciting lesson. Good heaven bless you more.
Thank you.
Marc, I don't see an email address in contacting you. Would like to sign up for many, many more lessons. Your right this one is easy…..well kind of easy took me awhile to master it…hahahaha….but ready for the next one. …so just need to work out $$$$
Could we always use ring finger instrad of pinky finger? Even we’re beginners!
Like many big blues player
Genial, lo he pasado genial.
tab is dodgy in lick 5
Hi Marc, great lesson. Thanks so much. Do you happen to have the tabs all on one page for this one?
Any tips on developing vibrato. You have such an expressive technique one of the nicest on YouTube?
Marc – is there a tab pdf you can send me like you have for the 1st and EZ Am blues lessons??? Otherwise I have to make screen shots of each lick! Thanks, Bud. This one is going to take me a looong time to learn!
Been looking far and wide for this one. Thank you.
Great teacher!!thanks for helping me ,amazing player!!
M., from Venezuela. Thanks for what you do. You have didactics (you include tablature and Backing Track). You also initially define the scale (minor pentatonic). This is excellent because you place the student in the key of the piece from the beginning. On the other hand, and as you know, you can also play with septimas, with septima arpeggios, in each of the three dominant chords (equally septimas, of course) arranged in the course of the twelfth beat of a blues (that's why it's blues , precisely), and in any key. If you also use this, it would be good to have some demonstrations about it. Otherwise, you master the instrument, you know the genre, and you have good pedagogical elements (due to the teaching resources you use to make yourself understood). Otherwise, I recommend giving the notes a name (do, re, mi, …), because they have been around for a long time (1500 A.D.). Certain academicism does not go wrong. This further guides the student, and he would like to hear them named, as he usually knows them. Thank you.
Great, Great, Lesson Bro ! Incredible solo !!! ????✌????
What tuning are you playing in? Open G?
Quite helpful, worked my way completely through it. More please.
Fantastic lessons Marc! This is just what I’ve been looking for! How can I pay for your wonderful lessons??
this is what guitar lessons should be like, you should post a venmo account so people show their appreciation for your talent!
Thank you sir. Very well explained and thanks for the TABS. I'll jott them down and practice!
loving these tutorials mate, really great work. Im grinding through lick 3 but the speed required is killing me. Im going to work through it slowly and build the speed up gradually ????????
Marc, I'll say it again… You are a living legend. That lesson and all the licks are just fantastic! And your presentation is perfect. It must take you a lot of time to make these videos but I can assure you, they are very much appreciated. Great stuff. Thank you, thank you. Cheers, Ray (Australia)
Love your work/teaching thank you
Hi Marc, just found your channel and loving it. I'm stitching this together with the easy A minor lesson you did a year earlier from 2014, creating a 24bar solo that has a laid back dynamic in the first 12bars and more aggressive in the last 12bars. That's been a great practice exercise for me.
Merci beaucoup
Thank you sensei, your work is a life changer
This is actually a cool lesson Thanks!!! I'm a metal guy, but this is great practice. I got this one down. 🙂
just finished first seminar and am now starting this one.I'm a novelist, a beginner ungifted guitar player, but am having so much fun with your course. Tell me please if you have other blues lessons. Maybe an advanced. Give me a neutral safe address and I'll send you one of my novels. I owe you!@!!! Professor David Gilmour, Toronto.
Marc on lick3 5h 7 p5 on the tab it says 7 D but you say A in the video
brilliant teacher, brilliant lesson. life changing.
Thanks for taking the time to do this! You rock!
I am a cynic but I found this truly inspiring. Thank you.
Great lesson, tasty notes! And a solo to work up to! Love it!
Brilliant lesson and full of blues the way Marc plays it. Fantastic.
7b9 means?
Can play this after 3 days practicing (for around 15 hours total). Been playing for one year. Does this mean i'm at intermediate lvl now? 😀
Awesome lesson dude
That's insane keep going my friend
This is perhaps the perfects lesson on youtube
got to lick 3 and just cant be bothered to remember all that haha
Hi Marc, as I mentioned in my email, been playing for a few years, got in a rut, but after following your blues lessons on You Tube, I've started enjoying playing again.
