  Will you be my dad???? I CANT TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM TO FINALLY UNDERSTAND AND PLAY THIS!!! sir, I first heard Mr. Johnson and my first intro into blues when I was 13 by pure accident. I was like “OMG What is THIS!?” Two years later I got my first guitar, and now 35 yrs later, I can finally play what started it all. My god.. first video/lesson that makes sense! from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU.

  I know the very well presented in interesting lesson, but as a tone deaf bass player who is actually hard of hearing, I'll just let somebody say we're playing this in A or whatever and I'm away if I can remember the next chord so I always assume that meant it was in A. also with the power of the internet, unlike when I was a teenager I look online and it might give the chords or I'll look at play along tracks. and I just assumed that the first chord represented the cat was in maybe small complicated than that, but I've been living in a wonderful falls paradise 😁😊

  Another very well presented. interesting video and to repeat what I said in an earlier post. I play bass and I've never played lead, but there are different ways to improve and this is a very watchable, informative series of videos I was in the impression the blues songs were offering in meineke not in a 7.Dominant 7th chords ...have I got this wrong or is it only part of the story And blues is often in minor or in seven dominant seventh. The second question is that if somebody was playing a blues in C major then I could play C E G E As a pattern and if necessary, go beyond it to make it two bars walking bass style but if it was in C minor i guess I should play C Eb G Eb And beyond. is this correct? and quite often they don't tell me whether it's made a reminder at the blues jams. they just stsrt playing and it sounds okay anyway😂 I don't really collect anybody ever saying this is in c7 but if they did would I play something different? thanks

  When i see B/F# I believe that means it's the chord of B, but F# is the lowest note and it seems to be a dominant note. I've been led to believe that as a bass player, I should play the F sharp and indeed why not experimented in this instance and play the B it doesn't sound good. in fact, it sounds wrong but If I played B on bass it would still sound okay but just not sound as good or as interesting is it my lack of music clear or or am I correct? and in this instance B would actually sound wrong rather than not sound appropriate

  that was a very pleasant and well presented lesson. you speak very clearly and you don't say hey you guys... And there's nothing wrong with that but it does irritate me so thank you for not doing it. I found it remarkable that you say some bass players responded in a negative way. I haven't heard this other video but you don't say anything in the slightest bit arrogantly and it's clearly obvious you're just giving ideas out. I play bass but no more. am I a musician than as an English speaker. I am a poet or an author. I simply play bass but I am absolutely not a musician. personally, I find it quite difficult to believe that any lead or even rhythm guitars can't simply pick up a bass and play it whether they play it well is a different matter, but to me one is To a certain degree a subset of the other ( in terms of the notes) even though they need a approavh different feel. I have heard many many lead guitarists play bass and they've played bass for a variety of reasons and they generally don't make mistakes, but some of them play such tedious bass lines and others don't provide much for foundation for the music and seem to spend 99% of the time playing a lead bass which for me doesn't work. unless that is what the song was designed for. Many leaf guitarist have started on bass. And usually they play the bass with the feeling and drive of a bass player with the extra knowledge and experience of a lead guitarist and it's wonderful to listen to. such a specific riffettes as in a whole lot of love. paranoid we got to get out of this place. etc I never try to learn what a bass player has played. I wouldn't be able to learn it and I would forget it. I simply do not have a good musical ear or memory for sounds so I cannot learn / remember these. very clever bass lines people have played I have little or no music theory or training but I am looking at that nowadays and what I look for is the chord, progressions and structure of a song. once I know the chord progressions and that can take me a while to learn I just mive between The chords and yes, I'll sometimes get it wrong and I'll often play something that isn't in the appropriate scale, but on balance it works and that's simply how I play I've played many blues numbers quite well without having any idea which song im playing, but I think there's a lot for me to learn So I'm going to look at your video on the Blues.

  Thanks for your kind feedback. There are of course, many approaches to playing bass. I see them as being on a sort of spectrum from 'purely lead' all the way to 'purely functional' . Personally I like to make sure my bass playing makes the rest of the band sound as good as possible, so I probably lean in the direction of functional rather than 'interesting' ! But i don't preach that as being 'right' or 'wrong' - it just feels the best approach for me in the particular context I play most of the time. Also, you can have zero understanding of music theory and still play excellent bass just by listening well, experimenting and trusting your own musical feel. Likewise, you can have a degree level grasp of theory, play all the 'right' notes and sound completely dead if you don't have the feel!

  The vanilla cadences.....but they become much more with syncopatio, see page 5 compund 5/4 cadence with a prepared dissonance. Acoustic sustain is perhaps a bit weak to demonstate, but it's an overlooked glory for electric guitar: derekremes.com/wp-content/uploads/compendium_english.pdf

  Absolutely. I don't do a lot of slide guitar so I haven't got a guitar properly set up for it. If I did, I would probably make a special nut and bridge for it to help raise the strings away from the frets.

  Your original videos on the circle of fifths was my launching point, after 30+ years of strumming without understanding, towards a lasting affinity to father charles and his battling and a deep dive into music theory that has expanded my playing, taught me to improvise and brought so much freedom and fun on guitar. Would thoroughly recommend the this fella as the best explainer of the circle of fifths and key signatures on KZread and beyond. Period. Fact.

  dont understand the Plus 5 minus 3 math (when you explained the full tone shift between strings)

• 
  @SecretGuitarTeacher2 ай бұрын

  Thanks for the question. Let's give you a bit more detail on this: The 6th string is tuned to E and the 5th string to A. A is five steps up the chromatic scale from E ( F F# G G# A). So, if we cross from 6th string to 5th string at any given fret we are gaining Five semitones. In the example on the video I have just played the note B at fret 7 on the 6th string and I want to go up a full tone to the note C#. This is simple if I stay on the same string - I just move up two frets and play C# at fret 9 on the 6th string. BUT the exercise calls for the scale to be played in one position using different fingers rather than on one string. To find the C# on the 5th string I can move straight across at fret 7 to gain 5 semitones (E at fret 7 on the 5th string) so I have 'added 5'. Then I 'subtract 3' by moving down three frets to find C#' at fret 4. So to move two semitones from B to C# I have the choice to move up 2 frets on the 6th string, or I can achieve the same effect by moving straight across to the 5th string (adding five semitones) and then moving down that string 3 frets (subtracting 3 from 5 to give me the 2 fret increase). Hope that helps!

  I know this one is 10 years old, but the channel is still quite active. The links in the description for the site are all broken, which is a shame. Having taken a look, or tried to, it's disappointing that there's no content at all visible unless one signs up first.

  Thanks for your interest and thanks too for flagging up the broken link (which I have just fixed). I have recently re-launched the site which is now housed on a responsive platform so that it should be accessible on all device types. I am running it directly rather than using a marketing company, but that means I am still playing catch-up on details like links in the KZread descriptions!

  I think once I finish learning 12 bar blues and the different licks and shuffles I'll learn this and move on. I am not a super blues fan but I respect it and do love the rhythm and call and response. Without the Blues - music would be pretty boring, even if you are not a blues fan like me there's no denying that much.
