Best 5min I've spent on any lesson out here. This cat is something else. You can tell he's been there and done that !!
Josh is a super gifted guitarist & teacher. He shares all his knowledge and experience with passion & humility. He can show you in three minutes what a book takes a hundred pages to explain.
The ”better” I get the more I discover the importance and the joy to learn and master the basics. Your lessons are great.
The "better" I get I realize I better buy a ticket, cause I will never be that good. I have to be honest, I really don't know who this guy is, but I'd love to see him live some day...whenever that is in 2-3 years.
It would be helpful if the chord shapes were shown on screen through the progressions to make sure viewers can play what they seeing and hearing correctly.
It`s a few years i know Mr. Smith, all through
watching his heavenly solo performances in
JTC Guitar ...(into Facebook i think) but this
4-5 minutes video:
I learned a lot, simply, very useful ... A real
GEM

Wow! Josh I've been playing for over 65 years and I never learned more from anyone than i have from you my friend. Esp. the Shuffle lessons. I play mostly classic Country and Blues. My Country/ Ray Price shuffles are my favs.. Keep up the good work. PS.. One of the nicest guys on You-Tube!

Love it! Thanks
Thanks Josh! Good vibes from Barcelona 🎸🎼🌟
Great tips 👍 Very relatable too Good job Josh
I just learned something! Thanks 😊
Wow that is really helpful thank you...
Great lesson on blues shuffles! Easy finger transitions in the way you play the voicings of the chords.
Dooood. Thanks for the free lessons..
You know it's good when it feels like it's pushing you to break out but knowing it'll build and be so worthwhile when you do making the return even more satisfying. Your lessons are amazing Josh!
Once again Josh, thanks for a very interesting lesson, that’s now in the memory bank 👍🏻👍🏻
Super cool! I need to learn that thumb wrap thang...
Great shuffle formula thx
The feel and groove you create is exellent.
Just guitar, and more music than play some of the bands.
Great teaching as well.
Cheers from Poland.
Love this guy
Great great lesson
Really enjoy these vids Josh 👍🏻 Thankyou man!
josh smith is one of the best modern blues guy and a classic teacher as well !
Awesome lesson
What a great lesson... straight forward, focused, yet rich with info. Yes, you have to know CAGED, and enough about scales that you understand 6ths, 7th chords (and 9th chords?). But, once you've got that a bit, seeing these embellishments and applications are super cool. And, all that, under 5 minutes!
great lunch box lesson! Thanks
Great stuff Josh
WONDERFULLY Done
That's cool. I noticed I had to put my index finger on the G string not the B as I would usually do to play that triad, but with the 6th added, you already have the B string fretted, so you don't need the index finger on the B, so it works and sounds great! Thanks for sharing!
He's just expanding on a simple concept - 12 bar blues, chords A D E, with an Am pent scale thrown in; then using passing tones like chromatic run ups (notes or chords); think of how a blues scale works beside a pentatonic minor scale. He adds 2 other well know ideas - ii V I (in A thats B E A), and the III which in A is a C.
In truer terms there are dominant 7s and suspended notes here, but the premise is using:
A D E 12 bar
or (A flat) A x2
(D flat) D x2
x2
(E flat) E -
B E A (turnaround) or the basic E (E flat) D A
C.
A few triad shapes will help you with the A chord (see Kind Hearted Woman Blues), and the C7 shape used chromatically (3rd fret D7 5th fret E7). There a nice D flat sound (5th string 4th fret) etc. And don't forget the A string and E string can be open and pressed as you wish.

Trouble being it isn't as easy as it looks to keep the rhythm going, mix it up add the fills and passing tones. So nail the concept then watch him and others and listen to proper Delta, Texas and Chicago blues. It helps if you try it out as finger style acoustic beforehand.
Thanks Josh
Wish all so-called tutorials were so useful and to the point! Well done!
What a joy. A master
Great experience 👋😎🎶
josh , great info. btw i enjoyed very much you playing with the mansquatch
Fantastic 🤩🙏🏆
Thank you
Thank you joth smish
Excellent
Heck yeah! Thank you, Josh. New Subbie.
I would have never thought about the 6 chord as I would have thought it was too close to a major 7 - 4 chord. When I play it, it does sound very "major 7th." When Josh plays it, sounds great.
Merci❤
The 6 chord that's what I was missing thank you very much
Great video
Damn this is good stuff
Sweet.👍
M a big fan of your ❤
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? I never get it.
Because this is UA-cam, and some people have come to expect everything exactly their way - and for absolutely no charge whatsoever - and if they don't get their way, they cannot just be thankful for what they got but instead they whinge uncontrollably in public like the big babies they are...
Outstanding! Demystifying the blues shuffle in 4:42. Appreciate it!
Let’s do More!!!!!!
You are a nice guy.
that was cool
Josh, has anyone told you that you make a great teacher?
Yeah baby🤘🏻
Yes sir.
Badass.
Genius
I love hearing that word support. I've long felt that to be the first priority in playing music with people. Build support systems. Even when you're taking a solo.
Nice
❤
Cool.
Ok. So my fingers are just not fast enough yet. Ive maxed out my what you called the chicago box effort. Doin exactly what you showed already. Backwards ect. I can hear notes in my head i want to play but not yet figured out quite how yet. More effort needed. Thanks for this. I can take something from tis so it does help even though i am sure it is basic for a lot of people......BUT....it was not always basic , was it?
I love that A6 but my thumb is too short to roll over the low E. My kingdom for slightly longer fingers 🤘
If your thumb can’t roll over the low E it’s cos you need to change your hand position so you are holding the neck a bit like a bat in the palm of your hand. That way your thumb will naturally roll over the low E
@@humanBonsai Ive got the same problem i guess its also for playing different shape for years but i guess i have to make some adjusments thanx for the tip Dave !
You could always go with a thinner neck guitar if you aren't already on such. But I have an issue with it as well. My hand's aren't super-small but I still don't feel totally comfortable with those thumb wrapping techniques. Partly maybe because I played classical a lot during my more formative years.
Super economical playing
Nice. Any lesson on that.
Blues Alive!
And I always thought the 6th chord was for jazz!
My god this shuffle strum is soooo hard to get right
I lost my hand trying that chord
