Killer lesson, tons of great ideas simplifying and explaining Jump Blues & Swing style lines & licks, over 12 bar changes. Thank you.

Great guitar teacher, very insightful and musically educated who knows how to simplify concepts and make things a lot easier to understand.

[@FretboardConfidential]

Thanks for the kind words, Joe. Glad you're enjoying the lessons!

[@TheBlakem]

What a great lesson!

[@karlfarren]

So much to gain from this lesson! That little shift at 9:45 from the Bb9 up to Bb6 and back, is so damn cool!

[@peterjung4163]

Thanks David, really appreciate your good work!

[@DodgeDartSongs]

Great lesson, David! A whole new thing I never knew about.

[@gregdionne2137]

Absolutely love this style of music. Great simple explanation. I don't understand the major / minor third, I wish I did. Thank you David! Great lesson!!!

[@niitsukid]

Very enjoyable and educational , all the explanations are on point and understandable! Also a real cool cat

[@karlfarren]

Love this lesson. So well presented. Such a sense of effortless cool. Thank you.

[@jorvand296]

Thanks for this insightful lesson: finally kind of understood what people mean when you hear them say that 'they're playing the changes' or 'it's all about the major thirds'.

[@HAMMERTIMENOW55]

[@brandtcpsmith]

[@brianosullivan5441]

Thanks man ! You're an excellent player (and teacher/communicator).

[@fritzscheid9412]

Wooonderfull lesson, faaatastic explained with a great Gibson sound played!

[@seanfitzpatrick7878]

Great lesson!!! I love your no nonsense approach and how you explain things at a level one should be at to get the full potential of the lesson. I've been playing for many years but I committed to learning music theory (as it applies to guitar) in just the past year or so. I've sampled so, so many guitar channels in that time. I subscribed to this one after just a few minutes of this lesson. I can tell that your lessons are going to help me advance again.

Great lesson, thank you

[@Alex-rk5mo]

Great lesson!

[@JohnC-zm2qo]

You hooked me at 10:57
Playing right through the change as opposed to over the change in that semi jazzy/blues feel.
Creating longer lines through the changes in this type of voicing,, without having to take on a full jazz course.
Great Great Lesson!
& Not too many on YT for the non theory players (such as myself).
You really nailed this one in my opinion.

[@btm240]

thank you my good man.

[@bluesdawg8014]

Great lesson, thank you. Could you turn the vocal mic up a bit?

[@jpmagoots1241]

Great lesson! Is the backing track you used available? Also, what are the chord changes? Thank you!

[@songmule]

Dig it!

[@FretboardConfidential]

Glad to have been dug!

[@hunterda0209]

Where does one get that background soundtrack for practicing?

[@FUSIONJAZZMAN420]

What is the flat 5 for in this scale? I have tried using it and I just can't seem to fit it in anything that sounds good. Can anyone help me out with this?

[@jeffschneider4068]

Have you published tab/charts for these lessons?

[@stephenpetersen9114]

What chord progression are you playing.

[@SolarReturn1966]

👉🎸🎼👍👍👍✌

[@bmcd]

Is there tab available for the swing scale ?

[@gregdionne2137]

Is there a name for this scale?

[@sk-st7jr]
