- If you like this style of learning, I made a class with my friend Ian on how to build up the confidence to play with other musicians. I'm really proud of it so check it out:

If you've ever wondered how to play the blues on guitar, look no further. Learning the formula of the 12 bar blues is a simple way to understand the most widely used songwriting tool in music.
Using moveable guitar shapes, riffs and turnarounds, you can apply these techniques to any song and begin to recognize them in existing ones.

mate, at 57, having watched 1000s of tutorials, you have explained 12 bar blues in a superb manner.
Thanks so much for saying so! I appreciate it :)
@@seandaniel23 keep on keeping on brother Sean
This is one of the best if not THE best guitar lesson among the hundreds I’ve watched. Sean Daniels has an innate ability to teach, and is funny while doing it.
Thanks so much for saying so!
Exactly ..It just takes one teacher to explain the right thing to get a person motivated !
What I like most about your great videos, is that you don't sound/talk like a music teacher.
You explain this stuff in words/terms, that the average musical noob will understand.
That is a real talent.
I’ve taken music lessons. If anyone has bothered to teach me simple patterns, instead of trying to cram the circle of fifths down my throat, I probably still be playing today.
Linda. You are right .i taught about 3 people to play guitar , just starting with AD and E.then maybe one of the pentatonic scales .BUT i had a buddy who ( to put it his way ) wanted to learn properly with music reading .I told him he would find it hard .In the end he gave up.All he really wanted to do was learn to play blues with a little bit of lead thrown in.
there are only 11 notes, how hard can it be.
@@j.dragon651it's hard enough for a beginner to remember and play simple patterns at first. If it's not fun, people quit trying before they gave enough of a foundation.
I say, learn a few chords and some songs, then learn the theory behind those songs. Then expand from there with more chords and more theory, a little at a time.
Good to know. You can loose students by over complicating things.
Presuming this is sarcasm, but if not then just to let you know there’s 12 notes. And it’s quite difficult.
After more than 50 years playing the guitar and 35 or more on banjo, that little blue diagram you placed on the fret board is the best thing I've ever seen for teaching. Great job.
So great to hear! Happy to help Bud!
Gotta agree 💯
Looking for that!
Are you currently 87 years old now?
Xian XT why would he be 87?
If you were a Public School Teacher, you could single-handedly rescue Education in this country! Awesome lesson!
Haha, thanks so much Steve!
When singing the blues make sure that every sentence starts with the word "well".
You know it!
wellllllll all my friends are boppin the blues it must be goin round (A,A,B,C,C#,D)
carl perkins: boppin the blues
Indeed 6 VX
And every sentence must include 'My baby' at least once...
Why do people have to hate on the clickbait? The only people mad about it are people who already know enough shit about the blues to know it's a baity title anyway, not the kind of people who would actually learn something from it. The man has content and needs to draw attention to his videos. I support it.
Thanks so much Homie!
You have the easiest to understand, straight to the point tutorials. Really appreciate the videos!
+Colton Blanchard Happy to help, thanks for watching!
Sean Daniel no sabes nada sobre el blues, amigo.
pinstrip potoroo TELOSICO
You've got a great name! Lol

I’ve been playing guitar for 20yrs and this is absolutely the best guitar lesson video I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing.
I understand people learn in different ways, and the way you teach makes sense to me.
A lot of videos "play" their explanation and expect you to understand the theory by hearing THEM play. The "I played it for you and now you should know" type videos. Your video actually used spoken words on why, not just how.. You're a great communicator. Thank you.
Thanks for saying so!
Double the speed and you can learn it in 4 minutes.
Haha, that's one way to do it!
For fucks sake hahhahahahahhaahhaha
Then it would be boogie lol
Brilliant!
Whahaha good one
Thank you, this was the most comprehensive explanation of 12-bar I´ve seen. Great lesson as always :)
+Michal Pfeifer Thanks for watching, I'll keep em coming!
I played pro Blues harp for many years & picked up guitar some years ago. I've written & performed plenty of songs but found Blues guitar somewhat illusive. Ok so I balked at the vid's title, it seems an outlandish gimmicky claim, but must say Sean you're truly a brilliant & masterful instructor. Thanks so much, this is gold!
Wow thanks so much for the compliment! And thanks for watching!
This channel is the only one where I can watch your videos and understand what you're talking about off the bat. I graduated UA-cam academy in guitar, and I've suffered through the too easy and the too hard lessons. What I love about yours is that anybody could learn from it. Keep it up and never ever ever ever stop lest my guitar strings oxidize.
Wow, I heard this riff a million times in blues fest. n never could remember how to play it. So tks a million, friend. You make it so simple.
Happy to help my man!
Thanks! For a guy like me, this beginners lesson allows me to play a sound that is good to listen to and fun to play. It keeps me interested in learning more.
Thanks so much for reaching out Alan. Happy to help!
Normally when someone with 'the knowledge' fast fires a lesson, I just end up bewildered, knowing there was valuable information in there somewhere but unable to unravel it. Sean you have the ability to pour out pure gold at a fast rate and my brain just soaked it up, this is great stuff, it's sold like a cheat sheet but it's real music theory in a blues tone. My brain got it all, it's my fingers that are just trying to keep up. Great stuff, thanks.
OH! FINALLY... someone who knows how to communicate with simplicity...thank you Sean
Thanks for watching David!
I've seen so many videos talking about the IV chord, the III chord and the V chord etc... and NOW I finally know what it means! Thank you. With that and the shape explanation, probably the most informative 8 minutes I've ever seen on guitar.
As a beginner / intermediate I've watched a lot of lessons on blues. This guy made more sense in one video than several others combined. Well explained.
thanks so much!
Well, the first line of the blues is the same as the second line
I said the first line of the blues is the same as the second line
The third line’s slightly different
And the fourth line has to rhyme
I truly enjoyed your comment.
The best example ever.
Nick .u forget the words .My girl has dumped me, i lost my job , my pick ups broke and my dogs died.lol
That's country
@@theresewalters1696 You should probably get out more ;-)
Can't thank you enough, Sean. You are taking me from 20 years of being a boring strum de strum player who just plays well enough to sing along to, to a whole new creativity and interest in my playing! Love your work!
Thanks so much for reaching out! I'll keep the videos coming! Rock on!
thank you, i am a beginner guitar player on acoustic, playing for fun n to learn. i watch different youtube videos to learn. this simple video helped me, salute!🍺
Thanks for watching Brandon!
This is great stuff. It's exactly the type of of lesson I've been looking for as a beginner. It's pretty simple but it's really cool and getting me playing proper music. Love it, thanks.
So easy to follow and insightful, hands down the best lesson for absolute beginner guitar players!
Thanks for the kind words!
Mind blown. I've been learning scales and struggling to put it all "together". This helped tremendously and somehow I'm able to feel the music better knowing this. Thanks so much for sharing!
I've never been able to understand what teachers meant when explaining about V chords and IV chords and all the rest until now. You finally made it clear to me. Thanks so much. Loved the lesson👍🙂🎸
An awesome tutorial Sean. I have been trying to wrap my brain around the I IV V progression, you sure have simplified it for me...Thanks
+James O'Byrne Happy to help! Thanks for watching.
best 8 minutes of my youtube life! thank you for this lesson...
Hey thanks so much for watching!
I've spent months watching theory and this video just put it together for me. I need practice but things make much more sense. Thank you
Where were you 30 something years ago when I started learning guitar??? I learned more about blues in just ONE lesson than I’ve done in THIRTY YEARS. Incredible!!! Thank you 👍
So great to hear! Thanks for watching!
this is a very good and easy explaination of the 12 bar blues that I have come across.Very good teacher.
Thanks so much Glenn!
I’m on the second video I’ve ever seen of yours, and am honestly astounded at how well you’re able to explain this. I saw music theory as super difficult to understand, but now I have hope😂 Thank you Sean!
Thanks so much! I'll keep em coming!
If anybody makes me get theory the world might stop spinning but hey its worth a try!
Yes, he gives you comfortable lamens term identification then walks you back with actual terminology creating full comprehension...superb.
Wow, this is lesson is like a translation between musicians and beginners. You taught not only how to practice but how to create a pattern of how music works and how to communicate it. Thank you!
I'v been playing for 25 years and this is simplest way that I can understand. Thanks so much for sharing.
Way KUUL SEAN! This man is a music TEACHER! Get your learn on here! Love the Blues and now all I need is a guitar!
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the lesson. I have been playing for 25 years but recently unbent brain surgery for the removal for a very large tumor. Just starting to get better.
Man I hope you're doing well! Thanks for watching.
Just started playing again after a 15 year break. This was a great lesson and perfect refresher. Had a lot of fun learning this.
Sean, I watch your video each afternoon to learn this 12/8 Bar Blues as I'm 61 & a retired Veteran & have only been learning guitar 2 yrs, but love your vids mate! I spread the word for you too buddy ;-)
My man Tony! Thanks so much for spreading the word! Keep rocking!
You are a brilliant teacher cause' you make it easy to understand.
+WysteriaGuitar Wow thanks! I'll keep it up!
Thank you Sean, i'm just a biginner but i like blues and i think i will learn a lot from you even at 68 age!
So cool! Thanks for watching and keep rocking!
Sean Daniels your brilliant I'm truly enlighten by your teaching I'm new to guitar playing and you've helped me out with your teaching I never knew what they meant when they said 12bar blues but you broke it down completely thanks keep doing what you do
Wonderful lesson Sean! Thank you very much for the simple lesson which gives bigger knowledge about the blues beginning.
Fantastic. Great lesson, mate.
Thanks so much for watching!
MAn, your videos are SO useful that I can't even express how much they've helped me. Thanks, really.
So great to hear Lisandro! Thanks for reaching out!
I have been plodding along for years and years going around in circles and tonight I have actually learnt something,Thank you
Oh my goodness. I've been waiting for this lesson since I've learned how to play. ..you made it so easy thank you! !!
I just read a lot of y'alls comments bashing this guy for using Hyperbole.... Well, take a look at how many hits that Hyperbole got him. And yeah, Joe Bonamassa uses these chords over and over and I never get tired of him playing it over and over. And don't forget, He does say to CHANGE it up. Now calm down before you bust a gut or blow an aneurysm, and yes, that too is Hyperbole.
Thanks Bob!
This is a great thing to learn; thank-you, Sean.
Always happy to help!
What a bunch of ingrates. This was super easy and helpful. Thank you, Sean.
As a beginning guitar player, I really appreciate your clear explanations and demonstrations! Thank you so much!!
Sean, This tutorial of yours epitomises all that's magical about the Net: That a blues lover and rank guitar amateur (me) can browse and poke around, looking for any gems of wisdom - and find this, a video put together by someone with the gift of getting maximum knowledge across in the simplest and most articulate, accessible and interesting way. Just brilliant - and insightful. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'll keep it up!
This has tought me how to play 'Pride & Joy' aswell as every B.B King song. Amazing! :')
So cool to hear the vid was helpful!
I reckon we both missed out on a bit of sarcasm?
That my man was a great lesson of basics!! Every teacher should take a lesson from you in sensible ways to relay a message. Much appreciated and sincere thanks. Deano
The clearest, most time-efficient, no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point instruction yet. Thank you for sharing. I'm just getting back into playing guitar (approximately 2 years ago), after a 30++ year hiatus. I had played a lot back in the 60's / 70's,... but sold all my guitars in the 80's & didn't pick one up until about 2 years ago. I was determined to learn to do it right this time, & in-person, one-on-one instructors are a gross waste of time & money. There are countless instructors on the internet that will impress upon you how good they are (usually heavy metal head-bangers), but don't teach you anything!!!! You are a welcome change. I will be signing on as a student as soon as Mom gives me my allowance!!!
"in-person, one-on-one instructors are a gross waste of time & money"
you're dead wrong.
Dam!? I've been playing for 30 years, and still don't know every blues song ever. I'm excited to know I'm going to learn them in 8 more minutes !😁🤘
Hope it met expectations!
@@seandaniel23 LOL Im sorry I just have to laugh at the title of this "tutorial"
I did it in six every blues song is the same, the masters are different 😎✌️
Interesting. I've always memorized songs (as a bassist) by remembering the "shape" that's made on the fretboard by my finger placement. Never have I heard anybody else refer to it as a shape. Glad to finally see im not the only one.
You're not alone my friend!
excellent teacher. you break mechanics down so well while adding the music theory in a way that everyone can grasp quickly.
Out of all the tutorials I ve watched so far on UA-cam, *You are the only one who actually want to teach something* , not be like "hey, donate on my patreon, buy this, buy that"
Sir, what you are doing is amazing and hope you ll *keep up the good work* .
Thanks so much! I'll keep em coming!
Sean is teaching me how to be a better blues man than I already am!!!! You da man!!! Please keep theses awesome lessons coming SEAN!
Will do Edward! Thanks for watching!
If you needed that lesson, you're not even a musician.
This is GOLD
+Anthony Verduzco Happy to help, thanks for watching!
Thanks Sean - I actually got a lot out of this lesson. You explanined it very simply which is what ALL beginner/intermediate players want!
Just came across your channel. Been a player for 20 years. Appreciate your powerfully simplistic approach to teaching. Thanks!
This immediately brings One Way Out by the Allman Bros to mind
Oh for sure :)
WoW, brilliant lesson mate 👍🏻
Thanks so much!
Thank you very much. I really enjoyed learning the "shape" thing and plan to practice that a lot, using different variations in the "Turn-Around." You explained it all very well!!!!
Happy to help Dennis!
On the third time around, something clicked. Melody created in a pattern of 1, 4, 5 is Blues. I am a perennial beginner and cannot play Chords other than E and A and here it is you can make blues in whichever way your Heart pleases and your limitations matter the least. Your unstructured self learning makes way for an uncluttered teaching approach. Un-seemingly almost like stealth you introduced 1 4 5 and a turnaround emphasising their Origin from a scale and then showing how only those notes too are enough to make your “blues” go away. A poor-middle-aged-beginner-since-forever can also have something to do. Much appreciated Sir 🙏🙏🙏
Sean, Sean, Sean, I'm gonna follow you around for a few weeks. I learned more in this video than for the ones I subscribe to. If you offer courses I am going to sign up for sure. Thank you for your simplicity, of course I had to play it over about a dozen times for it to be simple for me :) Frank C.
Thanks for reaching out Frank! I've always got new videos coming out so stay tuned and let me know if you ever have any questions :)
First video ever which explain clearly how to play blues. Had to suscribe. Well done, sir !
+Thibault Plantevin Thanks for the support my man.
I agree and subscribed right away too! Thanks for showing me the foundation to build whatever I want!!!!!
I know. It seems so easy, but only after you know it. This is truly a very simple straightforward way of summing up not just blues but country, and Folk. Thanks for posting this....
Your welcome :)
You my friend are a fantastic teacher. I've just run across your channel and I can't stop watching!!
Thanks so much Jim! Glad you're digging the vids!
Wow, that one was a clear explanation. Subbed :)
Welcome to the party!
Less is more..Thank you,amazing lesson!!
Right on Peter!
A great way to explain the 1-4-5 progressions as it relates to 12 bar blues etc. without getting hit straight in the face with Roman numerals etc. Music theory for the layman in bitesize pieces. Awesome.
Short, sweet and immediately useful... as always.
Always entertaining!
What a great channel.
Thanks man!
brillant lesson thank you
+martin evans Thanks for watching!
Sean Daniel
it was great lesson thank you again
Bro!! Great tip, no bullshits, interesting tips 😂😀
Thanks man! Great lesson. A few points really just clicked for me during this lesson which opened up a whole new area of learning for me.
So great to hear Ryan!
This man is the greatest teacher of all time, not like all those instructors that teach you a minimum. Thank you!
Thanks so much for saying so!
Thanks for the video.
Could you make a video getting more into scales (minors and majors) ? I'm having some trouble ...
+Simão Samouco Yeah for sure, I'll get working on it!
Nice, I'm an instant subscriber
Welcome to the party Steve!

Great lesson, you explained the framework of blues in a way that clicked with me more than other tutorials. Eager to try it out!
the blues are definaely well respected I've always loved the blues my uncles all 4 played for years till they passed and I had 1 uncle that owned a gretch and would not let me touch it it sound amazing. I can deal hear it ringing the blues in my ears .
Rock on!
Hey Sean, maybe you can help me to find out what is the name or how do you call it when a blues get stuck all the time on 1st chord, not evolving to 4th and 5th, no progression. Thx in advance!
You know I'm not sure if there's a name for that, I think you'd just call it however many bars of 1? Not sure but if I hear something I'll let you know!
@@seandaniel23 modal?
Dude sounds like Kevin Spacey...
Nice to see I'm not the only one thinking in shapes, shame I don't know all the theory behind it all though!
Thanks for the vid!
Nope, you are not alone. Ever heard of the CAGED system?
Happy to help! I prefer Keyser Soze though :)
One of my favourite movies!
This really helps my blues playing. Very well taught and easy to understand. My eyes have been opened to the truth! Thanks
Happy to help!
LOVE THAT TURNAROUND ---! VERY NICE & EASY! WITH ENDING E7 CHORD ! thankyou Sean
Yet another sub, and I will be posting in my 6000+ member Facebook guitar group about you. At least some should be as impressed as I am.
So cool! I appreciate you spreading the word!
Sean Daniel Now, it's an Epiphone group, so if you could do a video with an Epi I could post it on the main page and a metric shit-ton of folks would see it...
It says learn every blues song ever.
I tried to play woke up dreamin by joe bonamassa using this method and it deff didn't work or get me laid :(
that because Joe bonamassa ain't blues. that's hard rock
Bluestomiv hard rock? I've yet to hear him in any hard rock Channel and dude is deff all over the blues scene. I think maybe compared to the 1880s through 1970s that the new blues is maybe hard rock but blues is the blues. It's not a genre it's a feeling. Still didn't get me laid. Bad tutorial
I'm sorry did Joe Bonamassa grow up in the delta being treated like shit all his life because he was black? oh no I didn't think so. did he work on a plantation plowing fields and picking cotton? oh no I didn't think so. Did Joe Bonamassa watch his friends and family get lynched? oh no I didn't think so. that's what makes real blues so special, when it's none right by a real blues man it conveys those feelings and experiences. that's the feeling in the blues. Joe Bonamassa plays blues rock. different thing altogether. if "woke up dreaming" was played with an electric guitar and some distortion it would sound indistinguishable from any other hard rock song.
So earl hooker and blind lemon Jefferson aren't blues players? Or Freddie King? STV (who is white btw)? Blind Willie Johnson or Eric johnson (another white guy) or T bone walker or big momma Thornton or Zz top (white guys)? Or Eric fucking Clapton? (White and English) So these ppl aren't blues players or blues musicians according to your words right?
You must be white. You're an idiot. Blues does not mean color. Does not mean how you're treated or your place of birth.
I've just listed some of the most famous blues players but according to you they are not blues players because they aren't from the "delta blues" area lmao. Fucking Internet tard you are
yeah half those peo people you mentioned are blues rock players. they are missing the nuance that true blues has.
Thanks Sean, your videos have helped me alot with all the types of Songs to be played at gigs.
Explanations are so simple and easy to follow
Happy to help Christian!
I already got it in a couple of minutes. Thanks for the lesson.
Happy to help!
You don't learn the blues by just playing it, you have to feel it in your soul to learn it.
Preach!
I thought blues players sold their souls to the devil?
Thanks Quentin Tarantino
+Hammock Dweller No prob
Quentin ? I see Dexter lol.. great channel btw.
Not even close ...try mixing Deadpool with Ant-Man with the knowledge of guitar/teacher.

One of the coolest, shortest, Fantastic descriptions of music theory actually Applied I've seen. Impressive. That's the way to teach music.
+W Boyo thanks so much!
Nice and clear and easy to follow. Looking forward to more lessons if they are all as smooth as this. Cheers for the help Sean.
