Quite possibly the best guitar teacher on the internet…seriously, I’m just waiting for this channel to blow up and I’ll be like “I knew him when”. Thank you Jack!
I need graphics on the screen to help me understand what he's talking about.
How Jack doesn't have a million subs I'll never understand. Amazing lessons. Thanks.
I agree.
@@guitar09ful he will, it’s not even a question.
He's too advanced for many. Especially those who are beginner/intermediate.
I think this depends which level you are. Few months earlier, I would have no idea what he is talking about. Now those bits and pieces of random information I picked up seem to fall into their places and start making sense. Possible, that one day, I might say, boring, I need new things to learn but right now, thank you for helping me to get past yet another roadblock on my guitar journey.
Here, hear!
I loved my guitar teacher who passed many years ago. He was brilliant but couldn’t convey information as simply as you. You are amazing and relatable. Thanks so much
I just wish I had Jack for my next-door neighbor.......he'd probably quickly get sick of it because I'd be inventing all sorts of reasons for going over there to pick his blues musical mind but what a super opportunity!! Jim C.
Your lessons are re inspiring this 51 year old guitar player! Thanks Jack! 🤩
I love the Lydian dom scale sound over the passing #V dom chord. Cool stuff.
Jack's style is so chill it's soothing to me... his technique is so light on the touch and tasteful. Big fan of the overall vibe he fosters and content is excellent quality as always!
very calm guy... he need no show and selfish behavior. perfekt for me! thanks! tom from germany
Love it! Please keep it coming. You are a great teacher.
Wonderful lesson Jack!! So tasteful and expressive with all the theory to match.
Fantastic stuff, as always! Thanks, Jack!
I’m totally new to this channel; I love your tones and your melodic touch and your emotional feel to your solos, very nice Jack!
So truly said.
My head hurts.................. brilliant
Amazing talent, great style can watch non stop . Thank you best phrasing ever
Gorgeous sound Jack, great lesson.
😮 the face my brain 🧠 makes every time I watch one of your videos. These are great! Great teacher and great info! Great tone, phrasing and I love that you're not shredding even though you can. Thanks!
You have a great teaching demeanor. Thank you
Perfectly presented, paced, and played! 👌 Nice one Jack!
GREAT LESSON!! Thanks for posting Jack!!
to check 7 minutes I need 2 evenings and I do enjoy it - top lesson
Discovering your channel with that incredible rich and dense video that perfectly fit my needs is mega, so much to learn from it. Thank you! 👍👍
pure GOLD ! thanks you Jack !!!! 🔥
Another great lesson, super helpful. Tnx so much.
Wow. First time here. Incredible lesson Jack. And your playing is just so very very . Nice melodies, you got that smooth blues feel. I want to play this!!! Inspired.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Thanks Jack…awesome as always
Got your TrueFire course. Highly recommended. Thanks for this lesson.
You are the man. I dig how you approach it.
This is GOLD! Thankyou Jack. I also have your Truefire course -- hight recommended!!
Thanks Jack! Great stuff.
You’ve answered what comes next after triads and arpeggios. And demonstrated the rewards of climbing that ladder. Thanks Jack.
great teacher man! congrats
very calm professional performance
Wonderful I have played Stormy Monday many times over the years and using that chord progression as a base gave me a helpful insight into how you are reharmonizing the changes and soloing.
Excellent!!!
Wow! I just subscribed. You have the understanding of Jazz/Blues that I have been looking for. I've been locked into too much of the "same ol', same ol" and wanting to break out. Also, you're the only one I've ever seen playing this style on a Telecaster. What great tone you get out of it. I've always thought of them as "Country" Guitars. Not anymore! Thank You!
Absolutely beautiful. 👌
This is good stuff. I look forward to working through all the variations. Stormy Monday was the first blues progression I learnt beyond the basic I-IV-V. I expect that many additional soloing options will unfold when I revisit that.
Classy stuff!
Thank you for this amazing content!
SUBSCRIBED
This stuff is gold
Great lesson and musicality 👍
Great lesson! Made me realize that going chord tones (dom 7th arpeggios structures) sets you up to chase any chord (in or out of “key”) perfectly and then can switch into a more jazzy blues because adding any of the missing ones (2,4,6) on top of b7 gives you more jazzy 9th 11th and 13th sounds. Now I appreciate even more those that say the inside out chord tone approach is better at times than scale approach since you aren’t lugging around a big scale of notes that might not even be needed. Good to know both ways of course. Play by numbers and start with appropriate chord tones and add outward as needed. Al a carte method.
I picture a 3x3 string-fret shaped box attached to the leading root note in the current CAGED shape I’m in to get my bearings. The middle string in the 3x3 box is attached to the root note of the tonic I chord (key) and about it on the other two adjacent strings are the V and IV chords, respectively; three frets down gives me the iii vi ii chords, respectively. Can play everything in that same position, chords scales arpeggios.
This stuff is dripping with emotion and style. ❤👊🏼😎
As usual --- AWESOME
Wow…just wow 💯
Very, very nice.
Super tasty…..Thanks for posting this!
Wow; I finaly got stars over my head & can navigate on the fretboard further down the road. Thanks to mr. Rush, see you !
Wow is all amazing 👏
Jack you are awesome brotha
You great in teaching buddy.
Love the vintage white or cream Tele my favorite look
Inspiring lessons with cool.
For clarity it might be a good idea to keep to one key per lesson so that your fans see the chord changes you use in that particular key.
Thats how we could enjoy more of these lessons.
So far everything is fantastic and so tasteful.
Thanks!
Excellent guitar lesson of blues
cool and easy as always
Genius!
Danke!
I just love your straight from the hip lessons. Wow, thank you... Been so yearning for your non condescending, pro - approach.
You're a very good teacher
Stormy Monday!
👍🇦🇺
16 bar blues.
and: very symphatic!
Thanks!
Thank you!!!!
New Sub here I Recently discovered your channel Sir and I thoroughly have enjoyed your teaching style and what you are teaching great content
🤘🤘✌️🖖
Jack.... Wonderful example of great instructional guitar lessons.... Informative, inspirational, inviting, intelligent, interesting, and any other adjective one might call to the equation.

Hey! YT pushed your "altered scale over blues" video under a multi-instrument jam session video. It's pretty cool that you teach guitar as music rather than only as fretboard shapes. This makes it easier for me to transfer knowledge from playing other instruments, over to guitar... and vice versa. Thanks! The algorithm should keep pushing your videos, IMO🤣. I laugh because it's silly, but it's true, too.
Good lord. It's been said that with music, you will be always learning, you'll never know everything, it's a life long study. Then why does it seem to me in this video, Jack can't possible learn anything else regarding music and music theory/relationships etc., that he doesn't already know and is proficient at. What possibly is left for Jack to learn musically? I've been playing since '66, but I don't think I will ever need any other new material to digest then this video. Total respect!!
So now I know Jack.
Brilliant ! I guess that the 2nd approach to the slow blues (at roughly 05:35) is the 'Strormy Monday' chord progression? the D altered scale way to play over the change (at 07:10) gives the blues an oriental character - can you use the whole/half diminished scale in this as well here? good stuff as always Jack!
you rule Jack. plain and simple.
Hey Jack , Amazing lesson! Was wondering if you could make a lesson on how to know where you are in a measure.. when the chord changes to know when the Phrase is finished. Hope that mad sense. Thanks 🙏
Wow oh to understand and let alone be able play. Just trying to break into lead guitar, but really don't find it easy Brother. Sounds Great 👍 👌
I’m looking forward to working on this lesson. Did you include tabs for the arpeggios?
Great tone! Is that a big room reverb? Sounds great- keep at it!
Another amazing lesson Jack! I absolutely love this type of content. You explain everything so well and it has enabled so many of us to break out of the box. One thing I'm not clear on. When you go the C7, you play an E half-diminished for the 3-6-2-5-1. I understand that this 3-6-2 can be seen as a minor 2-5-1 to Dm. However, when you do the same 3-6-2-5-1 to G7, the B is minor, relative to G. The half-dim is only one note different from the m7, so are these approaches (minor 3 vs half-dim 3 chord) interchangeable depending on what colors you're looking to outline, or is there something different about the 3-6-2-5-1 going to the IV chord vs 3-6-2-5-1 off the I? Thanks again Jack. I love your teaching style.
Awesome lesson man, could you post to backing track to the second section? The first, reharmonization, that is. Would love to try playing along to it.

Glad to hear That, but what is Telegram ????🤣
where in the hell you learn all this stuff Jack????
I’m glad I stumbled across Jack. Amazing player and great teacher. I’m hooked.
Thanks!
Hey, Jack! Thanks for the great lesson. I’m a keyboardist now figuring out guitar, and I played with a band that did “Stormy Monday”. Is that what you opened with?
Don't see tabs on Patreon. I'm a subscriber of yours
This is awesome Jack. I'm just trying to figure out how to understand what I am playing, if that makes sense. This is exactly what I want to be able to do. I'm guessing the first steps are learning all the notes on the fretboard, then the major scale in 5? positions? I understand modes etc, just not how to quickly apply them on the fly, so to speak.
More important than learning the notes on the fretboard is learning all the scale degrees that surround the three main triad shapes.
@@nateo7045 Hi Nate..... that is exactly what confuses me. Can you expand on that a bit? Major, minor and.....? I dont expect a full theory class...lol. I just feel ive wasted years and years and ive overlooked the simple answers.
@@timdean1081 It's hard to type it out as opposed to just showing, but mapping out the 3 different inversions for your major triads and then seeing the surrounding scale degrees so you can form a chord off any of these and know where all your chord tones are at is huge.
I haven't watched this guy's videos in a while, but look up Chris Sherland here on CZcams. He has a couple videos about the circle of 5ths/4ths and another called "1 4 5 Triad Exercise" or something similar. Once you know where all the scale degrees are and how your chords lay on top of them, I think that's half the battle.
After that, phrasing becomes the main issue. Jared Sound Guitar Lessons is someone I watch a lot lately who has videos pertaining to that. He's great too. I think getting a looper pedal is a must btw. So you can loop chords and then play over them. Then you can create your own progressions with different modes if you want and know exactly what's happening. It's expensive, but I bought one of these Lag Guitars with the Hyvibe system in it and it's been invaluable for me with the built in looping functionality.
Also, there's an app called "Solo". REALLY great for practicing what I was mentioning before too and the creator has good videos. Knowing all of this is great whether you're wanting to improvise, write songs, or even create your own chord melody arrangements, something I never thought I'd be able to do as a self taught.
But yeah, sorry if this is a lot or a bit all over the place. Just trying to outline some of the more pivotal or foundational parts of my journey. Hope it helps!
@@nateo7045 Thx...I'll check that out. I know its damn near impossible to explain this stuff. Unfortunately thats why Ive been looking so long lol. I know its just one of those things that once the light goes on, you get it.....
Nice way to “Jazz” up the blues
I own a 74 (I think) Tele that looks exactly like yours. It’s also got tremendous tones. Put aftermarket Demarzio pickups in. Now If only I could play like you
wow
You make my brain hurt Jack, but in the best possible way. Are you self taught or did you go to school?
Can you make a lesson about incorporating neighbour tones in a jazz line?
I used to think blues was simple. Damn, I got that all wrong! Theory is important but let's be honest, that tele sounds so good you could just play whatever really.
That's a common misconception with a lot of players. They think blues is just ripping off pentatonic licks and all the notes work. Not the case...not the case at all lol The more I learn about blues, the more I realize that the possibilities are endless. So many ways to reharmonize, superimpose changes, explore extensions, and the list goes on. It truly is the foundation of all music. That's the advice I always give to my students...learn the blues and really learn how to play the changes. Learning that early on opens up everything.
@@Bamagolfandguitar you're absolutely right. I'd never thought about this before, but even the regular 1-4-5 with dominant 7 chords is strange harmonically. I don't think those chords are diatonic to any one scale, and the 7th in the 4 chord is a minor 3rd relative to the key you're in. For example, say you're in E major, A7 has a G which is basically a wrong note in that key. I suppose that's where the major/minor ambiguity comes from with blues. Funny how numbskulls like me can play guitar for decades and not think about the basic theory behind one of the most common progressions! 😂
Of course, the Lydian dominant scale.
What cabinet do you usually use with the ox ?
Great lesson and playing! Your explanations are great but i feel like it would be a lot clearer and easier for the viewer to understand if we could just see a diagram of the chord progressions. I believe that would improve your videos greatly.
How do you remember all this info and then recall it during solos?
I wanna buy stock in this channel 👍
Tastier than momma's pancakes. Video suggestion: How to develop feel like you have. More specifically a study on phrasing. Are you singing the lines in your head before they come out which kind of lends itself to lines a vocalist might sing / tasty guitar playing... ??
You can't reharm the blues, that's jazz
Hey Jack, you must have so much stuff hurtling through your brain that you're spoiled for choice so to speak. At what point when playing live do you get out into the weeds? Is it just reading the room or more organic than that?
Without a patreon account this is impossible to follow
Loving this channel, but this is a tad bit over my head... but I am going to keep at it. The modes are still a pain in the arse for me.
A jazz player teaching blues?
You are real guitar 🎸 freak😊👍
