This lesson made me an instant subscriber. I hope more of your lessons are like this. Great job!
Thanks!
Great lesson, man! Don't change the way you're laying things out.. it's pretty much - perfect! 👍🎸✌😎
Thank you so much!
That moving chord, Freddie Green segment, as well as the rest of the lesson, was excellent. Thank you very much.
Thank you and you’re welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Amazing lesson. You're able to insert just the right amount of theory into the lesson without losing the flow. Kudos Jamey!
Thank you!
Playing for more than 10 years, but this is one of the best Blues Rhythm lessons I’ve discovered. Thanks!
Thank you so much!
The best blues rhythm video on YT. Thank you
Wow, thank you!
Awesome lesson Jamie, I really love getting better in rhythm guitar and being able to keep the groove and mixing different rhythm approaches, comping and some riffing in a blues, really difficult for me but worthy and this is the next goal in my music path ;-) Your lesson is really helpful, thank you very much!
Thank you! So glad it’s helpful!
Thank you so much, makes me so confident now with my Rhythm ❤❤❤
You’re welcome, glad to hear it!
Hi Jamie... A worthy lesson on swing rhythm! An eye opener for me... As you state.. the rhythm guitarist is often overlooked, yet the role is VIP Imo... You show some super elements, which are impressive! Thanks for a great lesson! ❤
Thank you so much and you are welcome!

Jamey, YT algorithms pushed your channel into my feed this morning, and your lessons are very clear and succinct. Very much appreciated, and *subscribed*
Thank you!
Really excellent presentation.
Thank you!
Excellent!
Thanks!
Thanks, man! That "busy shuffle" is my new favorite thing 😎
You’re welcome! Glad to hear it.
sweet lesson!!
Thanks!
Wow! Freddie Green example 5 blew my mind. Can't wait to get that into my muscle memory. Great lesson!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful.
i love it. thanx
Thanks and you’re welcome!
This applies to any style music, not just blues. I’ve been playing guitar 50 years, and 90% of the guitars players I’ve played with can’t play good rhythm. Then the whole song is messed up, except when they play lead.
Very true!
Look everyone, we got SRV over here😂
@@drsrsv8884And who are you? Nobody 😂😂😂
@@jonnyroxx7172 looks like the comment hit a nerve, especially since it wasn't aimed at you.
"Nobody"type of activity😂
Yep and if you dare suggest slowing down and counting till it's got the groove you are looked at like you"re mad
Thanks Jamey, I've been watching blues players doing this for years, not really being able to see what they were doing. Now you've made it plain to see, thanks mate, you've done a great job!
You’re welcome and thanks! Glad it was helpful.
The same here, as I don't have Blues clubs were I live, so never could figure out what these Blues players were doing.
Wow just discovered you. Thanks for this
You’re welcome!
Great lesson (y)
Thank you!
Thanks Jamey and as usual you leave us wanting more! Great lesson thanks!
You’re welcome and thank you!
Really good stuff! Perfect for the sounds I'm trying to learn.
For the Example 3 turnaround, right after the E7#9 "Jimi Hendrix" chord, I throw in the same F# - A figure, and the resulting large minor 9 interval (G - F# - A) is very pleasing to the ear. Makes me, like, sound like I actually know what I'm doing. So friggin' bluesy... I can't even.
Thanks! Glad it’s helpful.
Great lesson, thanksJames! I will have fun trying to learn these blues rhythm examples 😀
Thanks and you're welcome!
Great lesson! Pretty guitar!
Thanks a lot!
I feel like this is the video I've spent years trying to find
Great!
Great lesson! And now the practice and patience lol! The last one is a tongue, make that finger twister for me.
Thanks! Yes patience with the practice is key. Enjoy!
Blues chord teacher, where have you been??😩🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️
You should build a blues course. I would sure buy it.
Thank you! I might one day, but for now there’s basically a blues course already built from my various blues guitar lesson videos here on CZcams.
Musicians!
Pay close attention.This is the good stuff! 🎸😎
Hi Jamey
nice
Thank you for this lesson, I love playing lead but I love trying to come up with my own rhythms to play over.
You’re welcome! Rhythm guitar can be very rewarding and it makes you a better lead player.
I knew i heard the last one from Elvin Bishop can’t do wrong, right
Song or pretty close.
Good lesson
I’ll have to check out that tune. Thanks!
Really like this lesson. Question: Would it be best to explain the Cdim as really a Cdim7? There is no flat 5, i.e., Gb in the chord.
Thank you! Great question! Yes it’s definitely going to be called a Cdim7, I just omitted the 5th from this chord as well as most of the others in the sequence. I could play the chord with the b5th if I wanted to, but because this example is made up of only three note chords, something’s gotta go, and usually that note is the 5th. The 3rd and 7th provide a lot more harmonic information to the progression.
Great lesson! Just one question: how did you know you were playing in time to the backing track in example one (at about 1.53 minutes) without counting? I can do this along to a shuffle backing track but I really don't know if I'm hitting the 'and' of two or not. I might just be hitting the three for all I can tell
Do this: tap your foot slowly going 1-2-3-4; now clap your hands on the downbeat of 1 and also right after the 2 and just before the 3. - Now change your count to 1&-2&-3&-4&, placing those “and’s” right when your leg is up and before the downbeat. - Learn to play drums or a drum of some kind so that your rhythm gets developed. Cheers!
@@m.vonhollen6673 Great tip. I'll be practising that!
Great lesson. I don't usually ask gear questions but I'm really curious about your guitar. It's an interesting red and it appears to have black binding? Also, I'm curious about your amp. It's a great, springy, clear, clean tone.
Thanks! It’s a limited run ES-335 that Gibson did in ‘99-00 with black binding and a few other unusual features. I did a full rundown video of it (2000 Gibson ES-335 Limited Edition DEMO
czcams.com/video/76h7VuEpZAA/video.html)
The amp is actually a plug-in I’m running through my DAW. It’s Neural DSP’s new Morgan Amp Suite which is designed to sound like three of Morgan’s most popular amps. I use the SW50 sound for most of the video, though I switch to the AC20 for the playing example of example 4. It’s great for recording!
@@JameyArent Terrific! I appreciate the response. Am subscribed to your lessons now, great stuff!
@@chriswing7273 thanks!
Watching this now after it aired, but I'm wondering why I didn't get a notification that it was going to air live. Should that have come as a CZcams notification since I'm a subscriber or another way? I'd like to figure out how the notifications work so I won't miss future live classes on YT. Thanks.
Hey Bill, I believe you have to hit the bell icon by the creator’s name to get notifications. This video wasn’t actually live, I just debuted it using CZcams’s premier feature which allows me to chat in real time with viewers when the video is first released.
@@JameyArent I have the bell icon clicked, but I never get email notifications from Google on any of the many channels I'm subscribed to so I'll have to look into this. See you Thursday for our private lesson. I'll probably need help figuring out how to record our session if that's even possible. Until then...
Stevie Ray Vaughn was quite possibly the greatest rhythm guitarist of his generation. All of his playing came out of that incredible mastery of rhythm.
I learned a lot about rhythm guitar from SRV who was one of my very first and biggest influences!
@chetsenior7253 If you think rhythm guitar playing is boring, maybe you need a change of venue. I went from playing Yngwie-style lead guitar in the 80's to playing rhythm guitar in a 60's soul band in the 90's and it was absolutely the greatest thing that has ever happened to my musicianship in my life.
I'm hearing some Steely Dan.
Oh no, not another boring twelve bar blues video
Yep, another boring twelve bar blues video helping people learn to play boring twelve bar blues to bore people who feel compelled to leave boring comments. 🥱
You are really a great teacher..Many many thanks for sharing your great lesson with us..❤❤❤❤From India..
Thank you!
@@JameyArent 🙂🙂🙂🙂
