This guys style would have to be one of the best I've seen. And a cool cat. Great

Thats how I want to play over the blues

I'm rooting for Shawn's channel to keep growing. From when I last checked on 06/05/24 Shawn has 43.4K subscribers (including me) with 340 videos. I'd like to see and purchase a full performance of solos with backing track lessons from Shawn Tubbs. I like the way his lessons are simplified by explaining the chord shapes that he's using in his solo concepts.

You're very kind! Thanks so much for the encouragement and support!

I can definitely hear the Robben Ford influence. Thanks, Shawn.

4:58 is the best moment . 🤣🤣😂😂🤪🤪. You knucklehead!! The comedy is priceless!!!!

I gravitated to this channel because of the obvious love for Jeff Beck. I stay and dig in for the Robben Ford vibes. And by they way... take as long as you want to explain. I'm down for it

Thanks so much, that means a lot to me.

Love your playing and tone, great lesson and thanks for slowing it down to actually let sink in, big help! Thanks and yes I’m a huge Robben Ford fan from his days with Yellowjackets

You are a long standing inspiration Shawn!

"and a lot of this stuff, I did steal from -" me: Robben Ford - "listening to Robben Ford so much". I'm right there with you man. If you're gonna steal, steal from the best.

You have a great sense of humor .A clear and helpful guitar lesson as to how to play outside . Appreciated .And subbed .

Thanks so much Tim. I hope you're doing well man!

Please continue to create these little lessons Shawn. Ive always had a similar approach to guitar as you (shape based) but never fully understood the theory behind why I liked the sounds that I like. You breaking down Robben Ford type phrases has been super helpful for me. EX) Explaining replacing the b7 with the 6 in the Pentatonic scale or the 13b9 before the IV chord. I know I like the sound of that, just didnt know what it was until you explained it. Also glad to see you coming out of your shell as a KZread personality too. Not that your first gear review videos werent great (which they totally are) but its nice to see you having fun behind the camera

Dude!!! Guitarists really dig you! Tasty to the core all the time! 😂🎸🎼🙏

I love your videos. Thanks a lot

Love it. Great stuff as always!

Shawn bro I can't say enough how much I appreciate what you are doing man some of the tastiest playing I've ever heard!! Keep it up we are all very lucky that you are so generous with your lessons and time

Awesome! Thanks a lot Shawn!

Man, always excited to watch your videos. Love you teaching and outside thinking 🤔!

Dude, as always you are a beast! And a hoot to watch!

You SO crazy! Love ya man!

Awesome lesson! Thank you Shawn!

Beautiful guitar! And such a tasty lick

Cool riff and bass line in the backing track! Thanks man.

Great licks, great tone, great guitar!!! Thanks Commander!!!

Awesome as usual. I'll have try some of these sweet licks!! ~Robert

Nice to have found you. Thank you for the riff.

You are a genius. Love your playing. Thanks

Thanks Shawn! Killer lick! highly appreciated!

Best feel in the biz! Many thinks for these lessons.

Great video(s) Shawn. Keep up the good work, i guess we all appreciate it very much.

Holy Moly you really do play anything and we Love 😍 it

Awesome lesson and great presentation. Had me chuckling a couple of times and I believe I snickered as well.

Always intensely musical playing with an impeccable time feel!! Love your playing, as well as your humor

Ace. Thanks, Shawn. I learned something great. 🙏🏼

Thank You so Much

Superb intro.

Thank you and slow down so easy to see

organic music and personality

Thank you! Amazing.....dang......👍🏼

Great lessons...thank you! I think it's one of the few that advances my understanding of theory and adds to my arsenal of 'go-to' licks to build upon.

Killer tone, killer guitar, killer skills as always Shawn.

Next thing I have to learn. I know what I am going to do this week !

Get that boy a mint julep....🍸🍸🍸

I do use hybrid on occasion. For the most part I tend to use directional picking and hammer on pull off to get through it. Thanks for the question!

Awesome!!! Where can I get that backing track??!!

The ending I also play all the time and took It from a jazz player. Cool Lick. Great playing.

Best part of this video are these 8 seconds 8:25-8:33.... :)

You must have quite a particular structure that constitues your brain... Now I have a headache !! 🙉 Plus you're not playing outside: I see you're in the studio !! :-))

Add some chorus and we're at scofield zone!! great lesson

Thanks very much! That backing track is just something I put together quickly for the lesson.

Ok I cheated and slowed it down to 0.25, unfortunately you sounded so drunk at that speed I couldn't stop laughing and my playing wouldn't cooperate, I will get back to this when I recover myself . Joking aside I love these keep em coming Shawn.

Ever thought about doing a gypsy jazz video? It'd be really cool to see your approach to it.

More homework, you're such a hard task master 😢 PLEASE DON'T STOP!!! In the next vid could you show a little more on your right hand? I know you play quite straight most of the time but you often put little skips in your riffs that would be great to break down. Lastly, could you use the Dude for one of these, you say you use it lots but I just don't believe you coz we don't hear you play it. I bet you put it in a cupboard in a spare room because it's been naughty and the Majestic has taken its place 😭

I've ript heaps off him. Completely change my playing. And hereing out side the normal riff.

Learn the ROVER Led Zeppelin....The Song is in A MAJOR/F#min. it's slower ...so you can riff it...and get the idea. it's Basically E mixolyian...But Jimmy is going to bend the b3....and the 2nd and b7. The rest of the song will make sense to you.. He'll sort of slide into the G maj chord back down to F# min The G Maj is sort of like the N6... But you'll hear another guitar just playing the arpeggio of F# min..E maj...D maj..ect then it's just descend to C# min, B min It's just the DOMINANT Pentatonic. R...x...2...x...3............b5..........b7....x..R. X= Option Passing notes The Mode from the 5th is R.........b3...x....4.....x....5...x...6...........R ( dorian ish becuase of the maj6) The INLAYS are in Dominant pentatonic You wanna learn it...so you can use it as a guide to modulate. There's DIAGRAM of the FRETBOARD....just google. You need to connect the entire 5 jig saw patterns....your brain will adjust. it's helpful if you learn the 5 modes in it too. G, B, D, F = B dim/G......extended to Mix b2 = B full dimished. Harmonic min b5 and melodic min b5 ( b6 and Maj6) = Full diminished W/H 4th mode Dorian b2, #4 and Lydian dominant b2 ( b3 and maj3) or you can modulate using these dominant ish modes from various scales Some these modes has b3 and Maj3....it's just counted as #2, 3 or b3, b4..that's all. such as mix #2, #4....you can play that as min7, dominant, half or full dim. mix mix #2 mix #4 mix #2, #4 Mix b2 Mix b6 mix b2, b6 mix b2, #4 phy b4 loc b4 ion #6 lyd #6 Ion #5, b7 Ion #4, #5, b7

Such great playing. You should just start your own band instead of playing for others.

Sorry I can't think that fast

Sorry Shawn.
