Guitar Lesson Old School 12 Bar Blues Pt 3 Moving Chords UP & DOWN The Neck @EricBlackmonGuitar

thanks for your great Videos Eric i;m learning the Blues and your videos are helping me very much.

Your strings are tripping me out.

Nice method of teaching guitar. You could be a good school teacher, Eric. it's all about breaking it down into easy bites. Take it from an accomplished public teacher who loves to learn blues on the side. Keep it up!

man, you are the man, i knew it was a simple thing to work the way trough the chords in a 12 bar blues, but as everybody takes it for granted i couldnt really understand what i could or couldnt do with them as i been playing for a very short time, and the way you explain it in these videos just makes a fool of other people videos out there, no wonder so many people saying thanks to you, big thanks from a spanish guy trying to learn and feel the blues, if you ever come to valencia i need to buy you a beer

thank you so m uch for these. I bought several guitars in the goldilocks syndrome trying to find the right size. sold two bought two. sold one looked one. got an acoustic.

Loved the easy way you teach us how to walk the chords up and down. I have been complicating my life before tonight to do the same thing ;)
You're a gem, Eric. I really appreciate you being around.

Am glad I found your lessons thumbs up !

awesome, huge help!!! love your videos

Excellent lessons

omg you'r Amazing

Thanks Eric...well explained and easy to follow. Much appreciated!

The hardest part of this I think is the strumming of E7 B7 E7 after building tension in the G+E. Getting that timing down along with the chord changes is where practice is critical. For those just getting started, play it SLOW, over and over again, and focus on getting your left hand fingers to land in the right place each time. It'll become automatic after some dedicated practice, and it'll start to sound like music which is awesome :)
Also, what isn't shown clearly is the strumming itself. For A7 don't hit the top string (6), at least I don't. And for the G+E I like to just hit the bottom three strings, maybe nick the 4th string? Gives it a real sour sound that builds tension. Thoughts?

Awesome!

I believe that's easy too. Thanks for the help. Great series!

This is great tutorial. Thank You!

you are awesome!! the best teacher!

Very good tutorial, you explaned it clear

Awesome lesson! So many of these you tube lesson instructors bog me down with music theory and this or that. You get to the lesson and clearly show how to play it. Thank you!!!!

You are excellent at showing how simple it can be........ thank you!

Thank you for this. I love it!

Thanks so much. At 26 I have just started learning the guitar and your tutorials are so clear and easy to understand.

Can this be played on the electric guitar, Eric? Thanks👍

thank you

This is by far the best lesson for a beginner wanting to learn the Blues, you rock ( and roll) Eric.

Hendrix style thumb hehe great series, in roughly 15 minutes everything clear and easy to follow.

Wow, thanks dude, great lessons 👊

How many kinds of schools are there in blues genre..

Great lesson! Thank you!

This is amazing. Great fun. Sounds awesome

Beatiful

Brilliant Eric, thank you. Finally, a lesson in playing the blues that really gets me started, without feeling the need to get too complicated. I've learned loads here, and as with all really good teachers, you've inspired, without trying to impress. In the midst of a very wet, windy and bleak English mid-winter, great to be able to play some Blues!

Just brilliant! Totally demystifying the blues!

Great lesson with no fluff. Thank you!

Yes!!!! This was so much fun!

Love your 12 bar blues videos! Very well put together and explained, great for the beginner. I have a question regarding the B chord, I noticed sometimes it’s played with the pinky on the high E string, other times not, how does one know when to use which version of the B?

Eric..taken me some time to come across your site but this is wonderful...something that actually sounds good when i play it....Eric you're the Mon...many thanks

Thank you for directing me here. This is what I am looking for. In search of lots of really tasting things to get my fingers working again. I remember the basics of the old 12 bar blues (plus the Land of A7 and E7). Trying to work my way around phrasing again. Nice long scale runs.

Fantastic tutorials Eric thank you very much from Australia 😀😀😀🎸
