    Lots of good players out there (including you!), yet a great teacher, such as yourself, is somewhat rare... but on top of that all, you've also got an effective presentation set up and have developed a comprehensive syllabus for musicians of all levels, which makes your channel unique and priceless. Wish you lots of UA-cam success, you truly deserve it and many thanks for providing all this to us for free!!

    Brilliant job! The instruction was top notch, the production values of the video very, very good, and the playing was suitably impressive, yet did not overshadow the purpose of the presentation. That presentation, I would say, was a real gift of love for music as an experience, an art form, and a means of expression. I particularly liked the way you began your demonstration with the simple 5-note box, and then elaborated it to the extended box with blue note, etc. Your illustrations were clear and uncluttered, presenting just the relevant information, and your guidance went from beginner to intermediate, with an experts flash at the end. I can't tell you why you did it that way, but as a teacher/learner for many years I can say that the effect was to create confidence, build expertise, and inspire desire for more.

    You know what?
    I’ve been looking for a lesson like this for years and watched hundreds of them and absolutely no one explained it!
    Please, more videos like this - in all keys. That was my idea of a perfect 12 bar blues lessons.
    Starting with simple solos to more complex ones. And then do it for all keys.
    I know - that’s a lot of videos but I’m absolutely sure that would be the perfect 12 bar blues solo course.
    I would actually pay for it.

    • @andrewhanes6974
      @andrewhanes6974 10 місяців тому

      I liked this video too, and not to be critical but I think you're missing the point a little in asking for all 12 keys. Everything's movable on guitar, and this system insists you know the fretboard notes well (well, at least the roots). So to play in all keys, you need to memorize all the roots, and if you know the roots, you understand where to play in any key. The pattern is exactly the same. It's a holistic view I think would help you to understand the theory better.

    • @Twitexter
      @Twitexter 10 місяців тому

      @@andrewhanes6974 I know it is moveble.
      But people want “XY for dummies”. If they want to go to music school, they would have already. Except they usually can’t. You have to start young.
      This is where all online courses fail: “Oh, do the rest yourself, figure it out!”
      And I also meant to include different levels of soloing - from the simplest to more complex (not too much). Let’s say - six of them.
      Yes, that’s lots of videos. But the only useful online course is the one that leaves you without additional questions.
      And if you can learn from just few of them, good for you. But there are others.
      If someone practiced and played through all of them, he would really learn it. In school or in private classes you have a teacher to ask all the questions. Here you don’t.
      So - more details, more examples - better the course.

    • @LeadGuitarWorkshop
      @LeadGuitarWorkshop  3 місяці тому

      Take it all with a grain of salt, the King Box, Blues Box, BB Box are all slang terms that loosely translate to pent shapes, where in fact its more about the sound of the music use. The BB sound is smiling blues and Albert King is frowning blues. the BB sound is Major pent over the major chord (A Maj pent over A7) and the Albert sound is min pent over Major chord (A minor pent over A7). Albert King didn't even play in standard tuning so the shape thing is out the window anyways.
