Hi, which foot to tap? I hold my guitar in "classic pose" (in b/w 2 feet). I tend to tap my right foot. It's really difficult not to let my foot follow my hands. Ideally the hands should follow the beat of the foot, right? Any tips to improve that one?

And as I did 48 years ago! …man, I remember, wearing out records playing over and over again to learn the licks. if I would have had all of these amazing ways to learn I would’ve saved myself years and years of time. The newer generations have no idea how easy they have it in learning to play.

This is literally the best Blues guitar lesson I have ever seen on KZread, and I've seen A LOT! Brilliant stuff!

I've been going over and over this lesson ,full speed ,slow speed .....so much in there to learn. And when you've learnt it ........go back and learn it again to get the difficult 'feel' part. Brilliant and thank you

You push out content that should be getting millions of views man. Always exciting when you post a new video, keep it up!

I wish I`ve met you 60 years ago...now I`m 71 :-( anyway I`m glad to found you here on youtube and I think it`s not to late to play guitar. thx man, you are an great teacher....one of the best here and I wish you a lot of success in your life ;-)

@@bluesmani1 You're welcome. I started playing at age 16. I played daily for 4 years, then my playing became less often, and I finally stopped because I couldn't break out of ruts. I was self taught. I just picked it up again after around 20 years. I'm very rusty. My chops are shot, but all these yrs I've even hearing tunes in my head, and KZread tutorials reinspired me. I know if I don't play again to try to put the thoughts to fingerboard, I'll regret it. So here goes again! If I get back to reasonable good, I'll record it on here. I have a Guild S300-D that I bought used in 1980. I still have it. It's a jewel, look it up. I play through my dad's old pre-CBS Fender Super Reverb. The amp is older than I, but sounds fantastic. 🎸🎼

He has a really good blues singing intonation. For some reason when most white people try singing blues they start growling like Big Mama Thorton. Most of the male blues legends don't sing like that. Compare to Muddy Waters or Junior Wells. Almost at speaking level but with a lot of feeling, bending notes as you would on a guitar. Even a big guy like Howling Wolf wasn't really shouting, it was a big voice but compressed.

Wow. Just watching and listening to you for 5 minutes and you've given me more information than all of the guitar teachers I've ever had. This is information I've been looking for for a long, long time. Thank you so much and I'll see you over at patreon.

I've watched lots of KZreads on playing the blues but they either have a presenter who wants to just show off his guitar playing skills rather than teach it or they go into such deep technical issues that it becomes way too complex. This is the first video that just strips it down so you can play blues licks yourself by the end of the video and just get better with practice. Really great video.

Your whole persona is intoxicating..love your videos! Thank you for your work.

You say you are not much of a singer. You are way too modest. You are an amazing guitarist and a fantastic singer. I watch your videos not to learn how to play, but just to hear and watch you play.

fascinating!!! you explain everything in an admirable way! Your videos are the best!

So good Pilgrim, so freakin good. I’ve seen many a so-called guitar tutor on tube but you cover so much in one session and blow them all away. Thank you.

Love your channel, everything's well put-together and really easily to follow, we're very lucky to have these lessons. Thank you for this, this is great.

Love your videos ! Your playing has an authentic feel. The timing and emotion you display has a down home feeling ! I am so happy that the Blues in general has a lot of fans !

You are a brilliant musician! So glad to have you on KZread. Thank you and keep up the work that keeps the rest of us focused. I always share your lessons to other players so they can join and follow! Cheers - Jaime in Miami, Florida.

This video is gold! Thank you for all your great content.

I've never been a blues guy. But I've been watching videos like this one to familiarize myself with techniques that I might not encounter in the styles I usually play. Now this video has got me playing with a whole new groove. Love it

YOU are one of my favorite "go to" guys to learn stuff. You ALWAYS have interesting licks AND teach them thoroughly & with passion....& I too will tell you, you have a GREAT voice.

Man, your videos are special! Keep on with that amazing work!!!

Really great teacher... You are able to relate intellectually what I need to know emotionally and physically. 10/10 product man.

Never have I seen a KZread guitar lesson that makes me want to get my guitar out more than this one

Really well done. Your teaching approach is easy to understand and fun. Thank You!

Once again, another amazing video! Man everytime you play you get the perfect vibe and sound no matter the genre you choose. It's awesome!

Love it !!!! Keep this GREAT instruction coming...especially on Blues,licks,riffs, tech.;etc..

Very nice intro to blues lesson. You crammed a lot of crucial, no nonsense blues knowledge into a highly digestible lesson. I've been noodling too long with little focus on what I'm actually doing or not doing , and needed this. Thanks

I’ve learned more from you than any other person online. You just make perfect sense to me. I thank you!🙏🏻

The people I appreciate the most in my life are those who teach me something. You are now in that list, thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent with unknowns like myself, I will find a way to feel good thru giving something back using your website. Jaime, Caracas, Venezuela.

Dude every time I see one of your videos it always blows my mind, you are a very talented guitarist and I thank you for sharing your wisdom and great guitar skills with all of us...........peace brother ✌️

Excellent tutorial as usual.....I love your enthusiasm. Thanks. Geoff

I am an ok player, but been plateaued for 7 months. I just watched your "3 Hendrix Tips," FINALLY I reached an entire new stage in my playing!!! No more boring chord progressions then a crappy 9 note solo. An ENTIRE NEW WORLD JUST OPENED UP!!!! January 1st 2020, THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE THE BEST, MOST IMPORTANT AND FUN YEAR OF MY GUITAR JOURNEY!!!! Thank you! I'm excited about playing again, finally!!! SWEEEEET!!!!

Great video! Just basic blues but helps build our vocabulary. Loving the channel more and more. Long live the blues

Oh my goodness! That was FABULOUS! The " feet" thing really works! Hats off to you man!👌

And oldie but still a darn goodie!!! Not sure how I missed this back then, but seriously pleased I found it today. Stay Well Amazing One!

This was fantastic, I really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing such wonderful tips.

Perfect timing! I felt like noodling some 12 bar blues yesterday night... played for a bit... felt something was missing.. and today this pops up! Great tips Also, your SRV video was so awesome! Thanks for the tips!

Excellent lesson! I especially like the Blues Note and your playing rhythm and lead simultaneously!

this is the greatest and most helpful blues lesson I've ever come across thank you

This was one of the best presented tutorials, both for content and organization, of any that I’ve seen on the internet. THEN, for content mastery, yours is second to none as I watched you working the fretboard. Thank you for being so prepared and for offering so much.
