Yes for sure! Thanks for watching :)

Yeah these recordings are gold. Laidback and listenable. Glad you enjoyed the lesson - I'll try and do more of this stuff in the future. Thanks!

Thanks - glad you found it useful! Yeah the wall was a quick fix for a daggy ply wall. I googled ‘vintage concert posters’ and hit the colour printers then a couple of days with the PVA glue and paintbrush. Came up good!

Thanks the Brent Mason Tele is really great

Hey thanks for the info! Yeah I'm just presenting songs how I play them in my bands mostly so may deviate from the originals. No tabs sorry - we just use our ear around here :)

Thanks so much!

Thank you kindly!

Cool thanks I’ll check that one out!

Thanks for the feedback - hope it helps!

Jack is the man!

Haha just a humble iPhone bud

Yes for sure - J.J. is the man! I suggest that focusing on the rhythm and groove with your runs is worthwhile practice. Thanks :)

Hey thanks so much - it's a pretty casual lesson format here on my channel. Hope you got something out of it.

Hahaha thanks

Yes absolutely - a great way to kickstart the signal chain. The RC just keeps that top end sparkle and the mix option on the Ego Comp is my fave. Thanks for the kind words!

Thank you kindly!

Yep, will be adding one to the tutorials very soon. Definitely a good idea to hear melodic ideas against the chords. Thanks 😀

You're welcome 😊

Thanks so much, hope you found it helpful :)

Thanks

Hey thanks so much

Thanks for your appreciation :)

Sorry just found the part we’re you talk about the mixolydian scale !

Hello! Yes the mixolydian (dominant 7/flat 7) scale is what I'm playing over a major blues like this one. Also thinking about the major pentatonic scale as the foundation here is important - in this case F major (using D minor pentatonic shapes, the relative minor). With B.B. type playing it's always about squeezing the maximum melodic content out of a handful of notes. Look for vids on the 'B.B. blues box' or similar - a fragment of the larger scale pattern that you can practice phrasing. I always replace the word 'talent' with 'obsession' with students - it's something the greats have dedicated huge amounts of time to rather than something they were inherently gifted. Good luck!

Thanks so much - yep love this guitar. My fave!

Hey mate, you’re on the right track but let me try and simplify it for you even more. This version is in A Minor Dorian which the second mode in the key of G major (same notes - effectively A minor with F# instead of F natural). A minor, B minor and E minor are all built into the key of G so those all work nicely here (you can use the minor 7 arpeggios and the Em,Bm pentatonics scales!). Forget the theory for a minute and try playing Em7 arpeggios and E minor pentatonic scales over A minor to explore the Dorian sound. Hope that helps!

@@nathanleonardmusic Yes that helps heaps, I think I get it now, so it's A minor the 2 chord of G, B the 3 chord and E the relative or 6 chord...

@@ddugan64 Yes sir - when we build triads in the G major scale it gives us G Am7 Bm7 C D7 Em7 F#dim etc. so all these arpeggios work over G (or A minor Dorian in this case). I superimpose these triads all the time to unlock colour tones eg. Em7 arpeggio automatically hits the 9th and 11th of Am7 - the B and D. Basically, it’s a quick and easy way to sound a bit more jazzy and sophisticated. Good luck with it!

Thank you kindly!

Thanks so much - appreciate it!

My pleasure thanks for the kind words

Absolutely! Amazing songwriter and so much mojo

Thank you kindly :)

Ah yes that's the album name - I'll check it out on the way to my gig tonight. Thanks for reminding me!

Hello! Thanks heaps for the feedback - that seems to be a standard template for guitar lessons on YT. I guess I'm assuming some prior knowledge from people but will try to be more explicit with the details. There's so many great channels and resources online now for people to level up their playing. My modest little videos are just a casual chat with a few useful ideas that hopefully help people with their practice and performance. Appreciate your thoughts and I will keep it in mind for future videos. Thanks!

If he played the song all the way through, YT would have busted him for a copyright violation imho.

Hey thanks for the support :)

Hey thanks so much :)

Thank you!

Haha thank you - I appreciate the support and understanding :)

My pleasure - I hope you found it helpful!

Thanks so much, hope you found it useful!

Oh awesome! I'm 99% sure these chords are correct but will double-check when I see Jon Cleary and The Monster Gentlemen in a couple of weeks for their Australian tour!

@@nathanleonardmusic Awesome, enjoy that! Is Derwin Perkins still with him?

Thanks for the kind words - hope you find it helpful!

Hey thanks so much - hope you found it helpful :)

Haha I know - new string-itis on this one, unfortunately! Don't let it get to you though :)

@@nathanleonardmusic That's a terrible suggestion and mostly bullshit. It should absolutely bother the hell out of everyone, especially someone who fancies themselves a teacher.

As soon as I heard it, I stopped watching. Can't teach me shit if you haven't figured out tuning and proper intonation.

@@christopherh4653 Naw that's a shame - all the best mate

@@christopherh4653 Fair enough mate - thanks for the feedback. I had 20 minutes between finishing work and picking up my kids so I strung up the Telecaster and did a quick video - a FREE guitar lesson - for anyone who might be interested. I don't do this for money or direct people to Patreon etc. I only do it to help others with their music-making. Plenty of other channels for you to explore. Cheers

Thanks mate! Hope it was helpful :)

I try to keep this one in G minor overall - enjoy!
