    I have a bootleg recording of Fourplay with Larry Carlton. The guys were joking around onstage and messed up the intro to a slow blues. Larry laughs into the mic and says, “I have an idea. Let’s all start together… from the five!”

    Very cool! You did a great job making the singer and rhythm melodies clearly audible. It made the call/response lines much easier to hear and understand. I've really been trying to listen more, and just imagine what I would want to play, so this was a perfect lesson for me.

    I appreciate the content of this video! I’m guessing that a a lot of the CZcams audience that watch these types of instruction videos do not or have not played up on stage but aspire to. So hearing how things work up on stage or with other musicians is super educational!

    Hi Jack, like your teaching style, mild manor, soft talking, deliberate and thorough. I know you play all styles but I see how good of a Jazz player you are😊.
    May ask your help to identify a pretty chord I use at the end of a slow song featuring Major 7’s. At the end of a run up the neck I play this chord followed by a Major 7th:
    So, at the 3rd fret, bar the 6 and 5 string with thumb, at the 2nd fret bar the 3 and 4 string with the first finger, then bar the 1 and 2 string with ring finger? Inside of that chord is a C 9th then has an A added with the first finger. So would it be
    a C9th+6? I know it’s not a Sus chord because the E third is there. Thanks for your consideration. I can’t find your Tip Jug on your site to help you? Keep up the great lessons

Because I am new to Patreon and your channel, how long after a video do you post the tabs/etc. on Patreon? I'm not bugging you, just want to know when I should check back - or maybe its already there and I am just not seeing it. In any event, thanks again.

    Superb, quite intellectual explication of blues guitar playin... However, I would have loved to have heard a 'slow burn' from you with just the right amount of distortion. I can hear it now a little... Very positive comment! Maby you didn't have time to delve into the minutiae of theory and a lot of other stuff... BB would tighten (louder mainly) the band a notch and just grab your heart with a slow burn; almost a religious experience; I never heard nothin like it from anyone else... RIP (So help me God... it's not on recordings; you can't/couldn't record whatever it was; life changing experience for me...)
