    your form of logic distinguishes you by light years from other teachers. This type of teaching comes from your deepest knowledge of what a beginner is.
    A lot of academic guitarists say - well, now we do 20 easy blues exercises for beginners and I almost break my fingers doing it.
    Born out of your logic, you slowly introduce people and increase the pace in a perfectly acceptable way.
    I once took 10 hours practice lessons before i stop it, from an Austrian top star in the early 90s, his talent was terrific, but an egoist cannot teach, because looking down is the wrong level. you love what you show, thank you very much, i learn a lot from you!

    Jules! I just wanted to drop by and let you know that I really enjoyed watching your video. Your presentation style was simple and effective, and I loved how you incorporated a blues rhythm in the background throughout the entire video. It really added to the overall experience! I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Keep up the great work! Eric.

    Jules, why didn't I find you sooner but so glad I did. The blues are where my passion is and while I still am only a beginner your lesson here is clear, straightforward, simple to understand, perfectly discribed and shown. The progression from 4 notes to a complete use of all 6 strings is, well to me, magical. This will be something I play with and expect my blues playing to actually become music!! Thank you

    That's ridiculously clear and easy to follow, I'm sitting in my car with a travel acoustic practicing it and jamming along to you as a beginner, you made the slide over so much easier to understand and its place, I could never resolve it before, the leading with the third finger makes so much sense.

    This is BY FAR the EASIEST and BEST introduction to playing scales I have EVER seen! I started learning guitar as a teen but never got past learning a few chords and memorizing favorite songs from TAB. I ALWAYS wanted to create my own music, especially solos, but always found the instruction complicated and it would put me off. The way you teach, with visual aids and examples along the way, made it not only easy, but FUN! I’m SO happy to have found your channel, and will definitely be back for many more videos! Cheers brother!

    Jules I’m 58 yr old new guitar player . I’ve been playing for a year and 3 months and If people don’t complement you on how easy you make playing blues and guitar they should and I do. I take you easy ideas and just expand on them. I play about 6 hours a day and take a few days off a week . My journey now is connecting the fret board and learning music theory as I go. Thanks for the help. Wish you lived in North Carolina (Willmington) need a great guitar teacher.
