Two weeks ago I released a video that has become the most popular video on my channel so far, "The Most Useful Lick I Ever Learned" ( • The most useful guitar... )
We're going to take that lesson to the next level in this guitar lesson video.
More info about Blue Morris and his books like "Guitar Soloing Like a Pro":
www.bluemorris.com/shop
Today's video expands on a previous one called "The Most Useful Lick I Ever Learned" here: ua-cam.com/video/ZXIvF2ARZxA/v-deo.html
Your videos are rapidly making me a better guitar player. You're the best guitar teacher on UA-cam, very practical lessons that I can apply to playing and songwriting. I hope your channel gets huge, thank you!
Hi Blue, very helpful! Is there a video connecting major to minor? G to Bm example.
@@ssdelmar Not sure if this is what you mean but this is a common way to use major and minor pentatonic, especially in blues and rock. Major Pentatonic on the I chord, then Minor Pentatonic on the IV chord. I have a video about that here: ua-cam.com/video/K9QdVkZIxAo/v-deo.html Or if you mean connecting the chords with a scale, you could use this as a launch out of a G major bar chord and then just grab the Bm chord which will be nearby. This video doesn't do exactly that but could be easily adapted to: ua-cam.com/video/-IsaY00TUcw/v-deo.html
I've learned more from 2 of your videos than I have surfing UA-cam for the past 2 years. Much appreciated thank you!
Awesome that's what we like to hear. More coming every Saturday
If you learned that much from this guy, you're a horrible guitar player. Give up
I agree 100%. There are a lot of YT lessons. A lot of them are good but Blue is a real teacher. That is a gift! I learned to play 6 monts ago. All from YT channels. I played things that sounded nice but I didn't understand the whole spectrum of what I was doing. Till I found the Blue's channel. Suddenly it's like a messy puzzle where the picture is showing up and the missing pieces are reached in an understanding way so it fits together and I can remember it.
Exactly the same 4 me
Dude, I have learned so much from you! I’m normally not one for leaving comments, but you’re playing and method of teaching has literally change the way I think about guitar. Thank you so much for all your videos.
Thank you!!! Glad to hear it and thanks for posting!
I very quickly hit the subscribe button. I didn't know it was legal to use the blue note with a major chord. Plenty of people out there that can teach you how to play a song. This teaches you how to play guitar.
Cool! Welcome to the channel. More coming in the new year.
I think playing chords and single notes is the ultimate of playing guitar, not only is this a great lesson for that but it also allows you to make up your own licks and melodies, your teaching style is first class.
Wonderful thank you!
I've learned so much from your videos that I allow even 4 or 5 minute long ads to run so that you get paid. Thank you!
Thank you!!
You’re style is like fresh squeezed orange juice. Thanks
Some vitamin C for ya 🍊
when you speak it's not too fast and not too slow... you seem very friendly... your just a good teacher and I feel like you can take a beginner type and LAUNCH them into inermediate type....me like... 😃
Thanks for the great feedback Larry!
15-years ago I asked my guitar teacher how I could move fluidly from rhythm to lead and back again. Thank you for answering. Something I'd love you to expand on... more rhythm licks. Playing only on the one is perfect for this lesson. But 1 or 2 bar rhythm licks would add so much. Wishing you great success with your channel. Subscribed.
Thanks Steve, glad I could help. I will think about a video with more rhythm playing licks for you :)
You have the greatest technique of explanations I have ever been exposed to.
Ive been around a guitar since I was a kid (62years old) dad had a 57 tele, he bought my older brother a fender newporter so I was exposed. Having said that I didn’t get my own until 1988 self taught having stolen licks and phrases over the early years. I stalled, could play but could not advance until I found the holy grail of teaching yes you I have advanced more in three days than in my whole guitar playing life!!!!! Thank you for providing your teaching skills to the masses Im blessed to have found you on UA-cam
Tom
Wow thank you Tom that's great to hear! We have lots more coming for you 😀👍
Never watched you before but I immediately clicked with this idea.
PERFECTLY EXPLAINED!!!
Thanks.
Welcome! Thanks for watching. New video out every Saturday
A big lightbulb just came on! Thank you.
Great thanks William 💡 lots more videos coming
You are right. I NEVER see videos on how to tie it all together like this. There are scale videos and chord videos, bits and pieces, but not how to actually use the together and play some music. This is the sort of stuff I need to know. Thanks. Got more of this stuff?
Thank you! Lots more lessons like this on the channel and our Patreon group www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Cant afford it. I am old school musician. I barely am 1/2 step up from living on the streets. I have no money, none, only 2 guitars. I can not afford a damn thing.
@@michaelcraig9449 No prob. Lots more coming to UA-cam here as well :)
Hey Blue, I watch a lot of instructional guitar stuff and you have a great way of explaining things. Extremely well done
Thanks very much Dennis!
I’ve learned something just from having these playing in my work truck. I’ll def watch them again when I’m at home tonight and my two boys 3 & 5 finally make it to sleep. You should break down a buckethead song or 13
Cool, thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy playing these connections.
Your teaching method is so intuitive and 'easy' to follow. It's not about memorizing every note and chord - well done!!!
Many thanks! Lots more lessons like it on the channel and our Patreon www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
This is one of the best lessons I have ever seen: at the end of the video you say that chords and scales are taught separately usually: totally agree. Thank you so much for posting this lesson. Amazingly clear and informative lesson!
Thanks for watching. Chords and scales together helps so much.
Again,just what I was looking for. Thank you from a fellow Vancouverite
Thanks John!
Very helpful and clear lesson. It is crazy how obvious that is once you are shown. Wonder why I did not link/notice the connection earlier.
Good point, others have said the same 😀
I really like the way you teach...I think you have a gift; most videos are hard to follow. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the great feedback. More coming soon
This is the first time I am staring to understand how to improvise over chord changes instead of just noodling in the same key and hitting chord tones when i get lucky lol. Thx
Thank you sir! I have been playing for 50 plus years and you just gave me an AH HA moment. Made me subscribe. Keep up the great lessons.
Wonderful! Thanks for subscribing lots more coming
So glad I found your lessons, I’ve been stuck and struggling, the two lessons on chords and how to tie them to licks are very good, would like more of the same please
Thanks John. New lesson every Saturday for as long as I can keep it up.
Light bulb moment. Thank you so much and God bless you.
Another absolutely fantastic light bulb turned on lesson. Thanks so much, your insight into understanding and teaching is amazing. I jumped up at least six months in my guitar learning journey with these two videos!!!
Cool thanks Dennis! Lots more coming to the channel and our Patreon www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
Light bulb moment! Amazing! Thank you very much!😄
Thanks for watching Gavin!
Wow! So much is starting to click and make sense!
Awesome thanks Michael!
3:35 pm and I've seen and feel improvement on my guitar practice following your teaching,very thank you
very helpful...hendrix style...and many others...BB king Yah... i'm 62 and 50 yrs behind schedule
Thanks for watching Jon!
BEST GUITAR LESSON EVER. This got me out of the rut I've been in for many years.....can't believe how much I learned from this. Amazing,
Fantastic! Thanks ERose. New video every Saturday
Hope you get a million subscribers. Thank you!
Thanks J S, me too!
Excellent practical teaching on how to play guitar. Congrats and thank you.
Thanks for the great feedback!
Awesome, Love how you connect Chords with licks, I have been trying to understand the concept for Years and now I have a clearer understanding of it in a week, Practice on ,Yes, Thank you so much, Im looking forward to more clear lessons Happy Christmas to you
Thanks Leslie!
This is probably the most helpful video i could find on connecting chords to scales the most helpful tip for me was the focus on the root one
Great to hear thank you! Lots more on the channel and more coming :)
Danke für dieses und alle anderen Videos ! Du ermutigt mich enorm und erklärst Theorie auf sehr verständliche und praxisnahe Weise. Und du frischst noch ganz nebenbei meine Englischkenntnisse wieder auf :-)
Great to hear, thanks Rene
This was a really great Video, You took a bunch of concepts I already knew and spelled them out/put the together in a really clear and concise manner. I like that you took just a small part of the pentatonic to play over G to keep it simple and it makes me want to do that with every kind of chord now. Lonnie Johnson's "Another Night to Cry" is a great example of licks played over G with that little section of the penta that you isolated but he also adds in the b7 often sliding backwards into the 6 which I think is another great passing note we can throw in to spice up licks there a little. Thanks again for the great content!
Thanks Victoria! I'll check out that Lonnie Johnson song.
It took me quite time to figure all that out by myself, and now i see you nailed ALL THAT TOGETHER in just a few minutes, just missing the pinky embellishments to the 3 finger chord center 1-3-5 on the B G and D String and the inverted bar chord extension of the C shape bar chord 2 frets up. And that itself directly connects to the 5 chord right on the same spot.
Thanks for watching Ulrich. More coming this weekend
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver subscribed!!!!!
WOW! Talk about an eye opener. This is starting to make sense.
Cool thanks for watching, more coming this Saturday.
Great lesson....and great tone from that tele
Thanks George!
I appreciate you giving some practical ideas along with a chord progression to work with to glue it together. It'd be great if you keep building on this. Suggestion, would like to see a video that breaks down different embellishments, extensions added along with different intervals/dyads used for color and transitions. Some popular rock examples would be great too!
I find knowing CAGED system and Pentatonic boxes helps connect this together, because each major and minor chord form has an underlying scale. When you know them, you know what notes are playable for each chord.
Thanks for the suggestions. There will be some videos that touch on those subjects in the coming weeks :)
Ok. This is about the third time I watched this and I just got it!
Nice work! It's a little complex but really useful, and honestly simpler than the other ways of doing it 😀
You were right. This is the next step for me.
Still working on the Fingerpicking Friday lesson though, its more like fingerpicking fortnight for me.........
Thanks
Thanks D Fo!
Sounds good. I’m listening. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
I bought your 2 books on guitar soloing as pro after watching one of your UA-cam videos. Very great teaching and many thanks.
Cool thanks for your support 👍
New subscriber to your channel. Just wanted to thank you & say how incredibly helpful your videos like this one are.
There are a ton of talented guitarist instructors on UA-cam, yet bizarrely it seems you’re the only one who’s offering these videos where you show exactly what’s going through your mind when soloing. This is the dilemma many of us face, so please keep these types of videos coming.
It’s as if the other instructors either don’t understand the value in this, or they’d rather pick a topic & not deviate from it.
Thank you! That's great feedback, I have been trying to do just that -- describe what I'm thinking -- and others -- when we're soloing, especially soloing over the changes. More like it coming to the channel and our Patreon www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
Bending up to the blue note sounds cool too.
Good point, sure does!
😊❤ GREAT lesson! Even though I knew about a lot of the concepts presented….it was always in a “closed” system context.. Big lightbulb moment,for me….when i saw how they all get linked together. Thanks
Great thanks! 👍
Hi Blue, another amazing lesson, perfect place to pick up from the last marvellous lesson and tie it all together. You should know that you’ve really hit on something here as this is exactly what so many of us ‘almost intermediate’ novice players are needing and looking for. Another long Sunday practice session ahead, beautiful guitar as well! Thank you ever so much!
Awesome thanks S Y!
Just wanted to second this comment.
Just having someone spell out what seems obvious after the fact, but giving us those aha moments once the fog lifts!
Exactly what you said @15:30 .. it would be great if you made more video just like this. It doesn’t matter that you already made this one (and the previous one) .. more of the same it totally fine IMO, just throw in there some new riffs and use both “launches” - it’d be a great video I’d go back and rewatch for practice (like this one). Thanks 🤘🎸
Good stuff. The more I progress on guitar, the more it comes down to just digging farther into the basics and knowing just different ways to play the basics really well.
Well put, thanks for the comment.
just bought book 1 and 2, I have watched a lot of video on youtube, and alot of them fell asleep during, I find your engaging and entertaining, makes you simply want to see the next one , so Im going back to the beginning of your videos, I'm an old guy never did any type of music in school and sure never picked it up in life, but now retired I picked up a guitar..or two or 5 ya know how that goes, I am great at tec, have all the cool gadgets, smart amp, personus studio 16.4.2, and even learning reaper...watching your videos I get an ahhh I get it moments all the time, thanks!!! and Hellllow from Nova Scotia !!!!
Great to hear thank you! Definitely one or two guitars turns into five or six. But that's part of the fun. Of course playing guitar is the true joy. Glad you're enjoying the videos. If you want more we have lots more on our Patreon group www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
I can see 3 years into the future. 1M subscribers this guy.
I hope so, thanks!
Thanks for your great videos, topics cover will definitely help me get back playing after 15years plus of not playing guitar.
Awesome! Glad to hear it. Keep on playing 🎸
That was brilliant!
Thanks David!

Cool thanks! I will look you guys up. Thanks for watching and commenting
Hey man, just came across your channel. Although I'm already familiar with this, you do an excellent job explaining clearly connecting cords using this pattern. I wish I found an explanation this clear years ago. Subscribed. Happy holidays! Cheers!
Awesome thanks Charles!

Thanks new video every Saturday
Years I've spent on my own trying to crack the notes to chords code. 17 minutes with you on this (and your previous "The Most Useful Lick..") video and everything is as clear as day. You've opened up an entirely new 'fun window' on guitar for me. You have an incredibly straightforward teaching style. And... a new fan in me. Immense and sincere thanks.
Awesome, glad to hear it helped! Lots more coming to this channel and our Patreon.
