Thanks for watching. Let us know in the comments below what you would like to learn more of, and for more blues, check this out - ua-cam.com/play/PLvijD1ZTmYi7DWxepInNwnvXacGLH23zt.html
This is my first time here and I NEVER comment! But, I must say, you really showed me something I will use...I'm 78 and been playing guitar for years. I play by myself and sometimes at church...I'm not very good and I've never had lessons... I started looking at the UA-cam to maybe learn something and I don't get what most instructions say! You are easy to understand and I do like what you taught...Even I played that and I enjoyed sounding kinda' good! You're new friend---Jimmy
Thanks. Pleased you enjoyed it. Keep having fun with the blues! You can see this playlist for more - ua-cam.com/play/PLvijD1ZTmYi7DWxepInNwnvXacGLH23zt.html
I’ve started to play guitar partly because I’ve always wanted to (but never really got around to it) and partly to exercise my arthritic fingers. These exercises are perfect - they are hard and they are a tad painful, but I know that with practice they will get easier, more comfortable and that I will enjoy practising - thank you so much for this video - you have a new (and grateful) subscriber.
Glad to hear it. Thanks for the comment and pleased you're enjoying it. Be extra careful to use good technique, a light touch, and keep relaxed. It's super important. I cover some of this here in case you've not seen this video -ua-cam.com/video/g_VshIPV2SU/v-deo.html
I've been waiting so long to play like that. Even though I play the guitar upside down, it's easy for me to understand what your playing. I do thank you for that
Nice tutorial. I actually learned something new. Simple but effective! Now just add those type riffs to the 4 and 5 chords and you're in blues heaven! Thank you...
This is an exceptionally good blues tutorial! Very tasty licks clearly explained. Would be very interested in your approach to Hey Joe given that you know Hendrix.
Cheers. Yeah they are very thin so probably not showing on the camera as clearly as the other strings. I couldn't live without the B and high E strings! :)
I’d like to see another version of this that’s not so geared to beginners, same info with much less repetition. There’s another channel ( Active Melody) that teaches more intermediate stuff but he repeats what he says so often I don’t watch him anymore. I will give some of these licks a try , l liked the walk up licks.
Good suggestions, thanks. Yeah, an intermediate version of this is something I'll do. (Everyone feel free to let me know if you'd like that - will do it sooner if so). :)
Dan - just found your channel and decided to subscribe and look forward to studying more of your videos. Just one question, though. What strings are you using as they sound lovely and mellow especially the bass strings?
Good shout...that's what I'd like to see too and maybe some tips on the A and B7 and the turnaround ...give us beginners /intermediates some improvisation tools......good lesson though....one new subscriber here..👆
Turnaround is to turn back to the 1.. I just figured that out of about 6 months ago I've been playing almost 70 years but I'm a drummer so you know.. Alohoho
@@konarain cheers 😂 I do know what a turnaround is I was meaning if the awesome gentleman could also show us some tricks and ways of how to spice up the 4th and 5th chords (A and B7 if playing in E ) and the turnaround...make it pip out rather than being the usual....thanks for replying though...

Nothing beats a fine Shuffle. And all goes with it. Thanks for the ideas. 😊
You're very welcome, and right about the shuffle, of course :)
I've been waiting so long to play like that. Even though I play the guitar upside down, it's easy for me to understand what your playing. I do thank you for that
Glad to hear it and hope you keep having fun! :)
Nice tutorial. I actually learned something new. Simple but effective! Now just add those type riffs to the 4 and 5 chords and you're in blues heaven! Thank you...
Yes, for sure, that will give you a lot of fun! :)
Thanks yet again-these variations are a lot of fun!
Glad to hear it. Hope you keep enjoying it and the other videos here. :)
Thanks for this, my man, great stuff, made simple - just floating around in the Key of E. So very useful 👏
Glad to hear it, thanks. Keep having fun with it :)
Loved this! No nauseous patter for a change !
Ha, thanks, glad to hear it :)

You opened my eyes to a real simple technique my friend. I'm on it thanks a million.

Thank you
You're welcome
Great🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks 🤗
Nice ! Thank you .
Thank you too!
very cool!
Cheers :)
SRV--HIS shuffle --on pride & joy --is extremely difficult ---can you show us that damp strumming technique ?
Yeah, great player and that would make for a good video. Cheers
Ok fine, I’ll subscribe!
Ha, glad to hear it :)
killer man
Thanks :)
Cool video, thx for posting. Looking at your guitar it looks like you’re missing a high e and b. Guess that’s the camera.
Cheers. Yeah they are very thin so probably not showing on the camera as clearly as the other strings. I couldn't live without the B and high E strings! :)
Or the 10-minute game-changing blues shuffle..but who’s keeping time anyway 😊
rounding…

Dan - just found your channel and decided to subscribe and look forward to studying more of your videos. Just one question, though. What strings are you using as they sound lovely and mellow especially the bass strings?
Thanks, Richard. On this guitar, they are D'addario silk and steel strings. Just got back from Cornwall today funnily enough (Bude). :)
Great tips. Easy to follow. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I would like to learn turn arounds.
Good stuff, will do a lesson on this soon :)
I will be looking forward to the lessons on turn arounds. Thanks in advance.
Yes a really good approach, maybe finalising with all the rheree chords could make it more comprehensive. and attractive for a beginner. Paul,69
Thanks, yeah, will likely put it all together into another video at some point very soon as a full 12 bar blues. Cheers :)
Is that an apx 600 2? I have one but it doesn’t have the truss rod cover and the battery is on a diff spot
A Yamaha APX-5A. Great guitar but not the most exciting name! :)
Can you do a full 12 bar with a mix of those?
Good shout...that's what I'd like to see too and maybe some tips on the A and B7 and the turnaround ...give us beginners /intermediates some improvisation tools......good lesson though....one new subscriber here..👆
@@Filmbuf-g2kI may post an answer tomorrow..the answer is yes!
A chord in the 4, then B the 5 chord
Aloha

Can you give the bar tabs? it’s hard to follow along on this video
Ok the title is a one minute blues shuffle workout but it is a 9 minute and 55 seconds video !! 🎸🎸🎸
Yes, first is the lesson, then if you go to 8:06 it's all put together into a 1-minute workout. Thanks :)
@@DanThorpeGuitar some comments are not worth the effort I guess...thanks for your efforts ❤
@@jockster5525yours belongs to those, you you mentioned, mate. 🤷
@@gernotboesser6901 maybe ..but then I can actually play the thing . Unlike most lol 😂...
@@jockster5525 👍☺️
I palm mute as well
I talk alot. More than him 😂
Ive looked at the TAB on many sites --there is NO XXX damp strum or even mute on pride & joy ---none whatsoever --no wonder I struggled !
Do I notice a bit of a twang there mate? God bless the Black Country.
Ha, yes, indeed it is. I'm guessing you are from these parts or you know it well (not many pick up on the accent :))
@@DanThorpeGuitar born and bred mate.
Nonstop talking....
Freaking brilliant.😅
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank you
