    I've been playing daily since about Christmas and this lesson came up just at the right time. I spent about an hour pickin through all 10 lick in the lesson. I'm really good at the minor pentatonic but i don't have any mojo, just a scale. I got all these licks played fairly easily except #10 but I'll get it. I'm planning on going over this video daily until I get all these licks down pretty good. Thanks!

    Hello first time watching your video. I’m a beginner guitar but for two years I retired about three years ago and basically learning guitar on my own. It’s a journey and not easy. Hope you have more videos for beginners like me. Thank you.

    This is a great idea, but, sorry, the reverb sound barely comes through on the recording, unless you set up for a very long reverb or crank up the dwell. (Or it’s just my ears or something? ) The reverb in the advertising on CZcams and Bias FX stuff is clearly audible to me, though. Your mic seems to have nice reverb for voice, unless I’m mistaken. Are you playing your amp through the mic, or directly to your recording device.

    Learning is like water dripping into a bucket, drip by drip the bucket will fill with water, little by little you learn, one day your learning ‘bucket’ will become full, the moral being , small steps enable you to eventually walk a long way, just takes time.

    Lick 2 or the BB King box is pattern 3 not pattern 2 in the minor pentatonic. Which overlaps with pattern 4 in the major pentatonic. BB king and others use that spot to mix minor and major. Pattern 2 of the minor pentatonic is the Albert King box and referred to as the house of blues.
