Great 👍

[@BaddMuzic]

Thank you for the time, effort and skill you bring to these lessons... Much appreciated!

[@CodaTuition]

Thanks much appreciated! How have you found learning the demos/songs from different videos so far? I might try a survey in the new year to gauge ability levels to see where to pitch the next few lessons

@@CodaTuition Hand on heart, I'm notoriously bad at following instructions, but I have picked up a lot if good things from your lessons. I get lost with which finger should be doing what exactly but am happy to get near enough! Thanks again and Merry Christmas!

[@CodaTuition]

Good to hear the lessons are helping. Some of the original blues guys were 1 finger and thumb players so it's not essential to use exactly the fingering I'm suggesting. It is really useful to get the rhythmical separation between thumb and fingers though - thumb keeping the beat and fingers playing around it. Have fun!

Thanks for the sweet lesson my friend!

[@CodaTuition]

Thanks and you're welcome!

Nice simple explanation of the difference in playing scales on a cbg, well done!
Happy holidays,
Doc

Thanks - if you're interested to compare this with other scales, you can find lessons on the channel looking at the blues scales plus the 7 note major and minor scales

Very good. Can you tell me anything about the guitar itself? Who made it? what is the pickup and what amp are you using. I have made one of these myself but I am not happy with the tone etc, but I really like the tone you can produce on yours. Thanks.

Hi the guitar is from a UK builder - Chickenbone John. It's a basic one TBH but I swapped the nut to raise the action for slide, and also swapped the pickup for a hotrail humbucker which is less noisy for recording with. I use a modded Fender Hotrod but it's now like an old Bassman so very different to a stock one. If you have a valve amp, try using a boost pedal to help with the break up tone, and a cheaper option (instead of buying an expensive amp) can be to use pedals to achieve a good tone
