6/29/23 update!
I can't believe this little video is still going and GOING! Guys, thanks for watching - it means a lot. I've 500+ videos but this was one of the first and I didn't even originally make it for UA-cam. I know it looks like it was made in 1984 instead of 2012, believe me. But the content is still very cool.
Please join me on Saturdays at 5pm ET for my free UA-cam Guitar Q+A livestream. Just text your questions about learning the guitar and I'll answer as many as I can in about 2 hours. If you can't make it on Saturdays, the livestreams are available to watch afterwards and soon I'll be making them into podcasts as well. I look forward to your questions!
And if you're serious about getting better at the guitar, check out my website www.song-bike.com. Lots of great content and PDFs - stuff NOT AVAILABLE on UA-cam.
I do online lessons too. Email me : info@song-bike.com
This beginning rhythm guitar video teaches The Shuffle Pattern. Guitarists substitute this rhythm guitar technique if strumming open-position major chords like E, A, and D sounds too jangly, boomy and "big." Blues and blues-related guitar styles employ The Shuffle Pattern frequently. Come Together by The Beatles is a great example of the D shuffle and the A Shuffle. There are lots of creative variations on the basic pattern taught here. Take it slow and enjoy the learning process ! You can do it !
I have been playing guitar for over 45 years. This is simply one of the best introduction lessons to guitar that I have ever seen. Great job. 👍🏻
Thanks azdh!

I find long videos like this more appealing than the short ones. Looks like a real one-o-one class. You give time to think, to adjust, to understand, to repeat. You are a very good teacher, Jonathan.

Being a beginning guitar player I ran across you on UA-cam, sure a lot of the videos were old but after looking it over the information it is not only fresh but more valuable then you'd realize at first glance. After buying the "Easy Guitar Chord & Lead Tricks" and having the physical book in hand and re-watching the accompanying videos with it, eventually it began to sink in. Being 72 years of age has it's challenges both physical and mental, there must be millions out there that share the same problem. However, after struggling for a good while(well over a year) I am now watching your videos on your channel and my confidence is overwhelming.
I have traveled the world many times and done things most people could only dream of but, learning to play a guitar was one of the biggest challenges for me. It was Song Bike with Jonathan Kehew's videos that opened the door for me and I am certain it will for many who try. The Secret is: if you don't get it? Do it again, and again, and again until it comes, eventually it will. Thank You, Jonathan
Wow, that made my day!!!!!!
I'm with you. Jonathan has a unique talent for teaching guitar online and I hope UA-cam rewards him in the way he deserves. I've subscribed to SongBike and I'm greatly enjoying my late-in-life guitar journey.
I'm 67 years old, been scratching at a guitar since I was 14. Finally, someone explaining it in a way I can understand. Thank you.

Lol I did not start to learn until I was 67
L 2:08 by
It was almost the first thing I learned as a beginner
Same here but 68.
This is the best shuffle lesson I've found on YT😊

Similar shuffle patterns....listen to Life By The Drop, SRV.....or There's Going To Be Some Rockin',AC/DC
its crazy to see that this was released 10 years ago but since then so many people still return. Keep up learners, its a long road ahead but its fun. 90% of people who start learning an instrument give up a year in. Dont give up.
I’ve been lead singer in band since the 80s I lost my sight and 87 I started playing guitar. I’m 62 and for a blind person you explain it everything so perfectly well that a blind guy can understand it and play along so thank you. 😊😅appreciate it.
You're an inspiration @randyberg8442! If you're interested I do a UA-cam guitar Q&A livestream Saturdays at 5pm ET - check it out ! (here is the playlist of dozens of past livestreams: ua-cam.com/play/PLDv6rn4Y4BTsleyZoZ632uE1CFS6MVD36.html)
I’ve watched this video more than once because your teaching style is the Archetype of how to teach guitar. 😎👍
This guy has a serious talent not only in playing, but in teaching. He actually takes the time for you to absorb what is actually going on. If
You are frustrated, don't give up. Watch this guy.
Wow, thanks Margie - that just made my day! Please check out my website www.song-bike.com for more videos NOT available on UA-cam. You can become a member and support what I do !
Love your lessons. I've had a guitar for over 20 years but never really took the time to learn to play except for basic chords that served me well. Now newly retired, I have time to play and enjoy my guitar and to learn and get better. Thank you!

The blues shuffle pattern is the heart of rock and roll
I have been watching Johnathan for a few years now and repeatedly follow his teaching. I am a beginner and slow at learning. He is very patient and inspiring for all who want to learn. Thank you 🙏 so much for your good WORKS !😎
Are you still a beginner after this few years practicing? Not sure it's a compliment for Jonathan. Sorry, I'm just joking, I hope... LOL

Hi Jonathan:
I've been looking for various UA-cam guitar teachers trying to get unstuck with my guitar practicing. I'm 82 years old and you have helped me with your expert teaching method, hats off

Such a great job teaching. Every time a question pops in my head you immediately answer it a split second later in the video. You're a gifted teacher. Just bought the book. Thanks.
Thank YOU, cjpg74. That makes my day !!!
Out of all the YT guitar lessons free or not, yours are the easiest to understand stand. They aren't easy because there simple there easy because of the way you explain them. Thanks for the help Jonathan.
He sketches ideas that ive known so long i dont know how i learned them reminding me how i got started and what my bad habits have become. He teaches me how i should teach. Sometimes i learn something about the guitar on here, but really its what he teaches me about so many much more subtle things. This is a true master of instruction. Before i tackle a "heavy" music lesson i like to watch him teach some old basic stuff my dad taught me and remember how it all builds from very simple things. I love showing my girlfriend and being like "ok, remember what i showed you, well this is what i meant to say."

Wow! Such a great lesson. I'm already singing hound dog to my beagle.
This is also used on Led Zeppelin 2 on the song bring it on home.
Funny. Has the beagle run away from home yet!
Yup teach I got it. Very good slow easy and fun lesson. I always get a new skill watching your videos. Excellent job ! Thank you. I like your NO pressure approach, it puts beginners at ease.
My guitar knowledge has progressed more in two weeks than the last 30 years. You have opened a whole new way of my approach to the fret board. Thank you .
Thanks Carl,

Thanks Johnathan for your Guitar Instructional videos. I had almost lost hope at learning this instrument again. I used to play Guitar in church when I was in High School. A few of us had been taught by an older lady from another church in her home. She one told me in front of the entire class that I was not cut out to be a good Lead Guitarist BUT I would make a Great Rhythm Guitarist. At the time I wasn't quite sure how to take that comment. A few years later while I was riding my bicycle home from work, a drunk motorcyclist crossed over the center line and head me head on. I ended up with a crushed right wrist. So of course I had to quit playing guitar for awhile. And even when the wrist got better, I just never got back into it. Although I never got rid of THAT guitar. I still have her with me 46 years later. Recently my wife and myself moved from Denver, Colorado (where Guitar Teachers are Plentiful) to a town of 7,000 in Iowa and not a Guitar Instructor to be found. So I was forced to go to the Web to learn. Now that we have moved I am now really motivated to get back intro playing Guitar. So much so that I had to hang my old time friend on the wall because she needed too much work on her and they could not guarantee the sound. So I bought a used Washburn Acoustic / Electric Guitar. This video here of yours I discovered is amazing and at the right pace. However I do have a question for you and see if you have any creative ideas on how to solve my problem. You see not only am OLD and No Physical guitar Instructor, I am also legally blind. Which means I have 20/ 2100 corrected so I must sit really close to the Computer to read or see something. So that is where my problem lies, if I am sitting that close to the screen, I can not be holding my guitar in front of me and playing along with you. So any ideas would be appreciated. For anyone reading this and wondering if my vision problem will hinder me from playing guitar, NOPE. I have had this problem all my life and I player guitar once and I will be playing it again. Thanks for you time.
I cant believe how easy this guy is to follow
Jonathan is a great teacher, he communicates music with ease. Good on you Jonathan!

thomas cannon Hi Tom, thanks for your kind words ! I'll be posting more videos soon...
You are such an incredibly good guitar teacher. I am played guitar my whole life But most of what I know is something that I’ve learned from just playing the cords and trying to make my sound, sound like the song I am trying to play. You on the other hand give a detailed exclamation of what your fingers and hands left and right need to be doing. I am so impressed with your teaching ability
I REALLY appreciate that, John!

I like the way you take the time to explain the shuffle Jonathan, I struggle to make a nice sound currently but I will keep practicing.
Your an awesome teacher, I learn so much watching your lessons.
Jonathan I just started playing and have spent so much time looking for teaching videos. Although I only have seen the one on the blues shuffle it was explained and demonstrated in a way that a beginner can actually understand and actually learn. It’s almost like a lot of other videos are instructors wanting to show you how well they play. They go so fast you end up more frustrated and feeling worse about not being able to understand or come close to actually executing what they are trying to teach you. Good job and please keep it up.
Thankyou Jonathon, your a brilliant teacher , 🥰

@@jkehew1 Thank you for the lesson, you are very patient and meticulous. I ve got an issue with practising this tho, when you play it, the open string sounds muted, which gives it a bluesy vibe, when i do it is a nit loud and really kills the nice groovy sound, should i mute the open string somehow to make it sound better?
Btw. You should check out joe rogan podcast with Alex Hannold, you guys are very simillar :D
Thank you for your help.
Very impressive, so easy and useful, thanks a lot!

Jonathan,
I am a 67 year old living in the highlands of Scotland and have watched literally thousands of guitar teaching videos over the years but have yet to see to see a more technical and gifted teaching methodology, will be seeking out all your videos in future - tonight was my lucky night. I am a college lecturer (part time now) and I appreciate how difficult it is (and how good you have to be) to make it look that easy? Power to your elbow my friend and hopefully my guitar playing will improve significantly from watching your videos.
As we say in Scotland arrabest!
Hi Terry, I can't tell you how exciting it is for me to make contact with people all over the world ! Humbling, inspiring, crazy ! I've taught for many years but the encouraging comments from "strangers" (for lack of a better word) on youtube has given me fresh insight into what I have to offer. More videos and Skype lessons coming soon !!
What a Fantastic Teacher!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jonathan, I'm a latecomer to the guitar and find your style of teaching very useful, I've watched quite a few of your videos, its just a pity most of them are quite old and not HD quality but a least you do show a close up of your finger positions on the fret, which is essential for someone just starting off.
Cool lesson made easy for this old boy. Great instructor method Jonathan . Looking forward to more videos from you.Thanks
When i am reborn I will start learning the first day of my life. Thank you

I'm 7 years older than Terry Curtis and I am trying to learn to play the guitar. And I agree with him that you are a great teacher. I still can't make my fingers do what I want them to do but your assurance gives me motivation to press on (unintended pun) and keep trying. Thank you.
Your explanation of how the capo works is the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Excellent stuff. ..will try it when I get back home!!
I love this video ! I am a beginner, and have learnt about the fretboard and how the notes fall in order, but I can't put it into practice yet. But this video I can totally relate to. I'm going to add this to my exercise list. Thank you !
