Blues Soloing - Beginner/Intermediate

Thanks for the feedback guitarsennin. I agree and we have changed the difficulty level to 4 and adjusted the lesson title.

Oh my 7 years pass quickly, can't believe this one was published so long ago..!

Thanks again!

I have to admit though - this is not "beginner" in any sense of the word. I think when you're really good you tend to lose sight of what it really means to be beginner. I mean, there are actual recorded blues solos (e.g. Alman brothers) that use less techniques than this. Something to think about.

Thanks, just learned my first solo! Never really played something before I felt sounded nice!

This is tasty playing! very inspiring!

Nice and clean solo !

Thank you man , great lesson ! got a really good feeling when I played it

Hi Ivan. I often hear a slightly difference version of this lick. where you not only vibrate the nodes but also slide into each 11

Hi, great lesson! Could I just ask what might be a stupid question!? During the piece there are a number of places where the backing chord is B7 (B,D#,F#,A). Could you explain why a D note is played rather than a D#?

Thanks!

Hi, I've found this lesson a lot of help! (A quick question - what do the letters above the tab mean, ie Q, S, E etc. Sorry if I'm being a bit dim!)

Kevin

I think he means it is a little too challenging for beginners. I disagree though...I am TRULY a beginner, and have been practicing this lesson for a couple months now. I can play the whole thing now and only struggle with the very end. (Video 7) I still am working on the speed Ivan uses. Keep at it X5...you'll have it in no time!

The lick sounds great but i don't see beginners anywhere!!!

sweet!

Unbelievable !! This is my first lesson at GMC and I really love the blues in this lesson. Ivan, thanks for this experience. I will continue !!!

I LOVE this lesson!! As a beginner, it is challenging enough that I feel myself improving the more I practice, but not so challenging that I cannot play it! This is the first "song" I have truely loved how it sounds coming from my guitar! I hope you come up with some more "beginner" blues solos!!

Ben

Nice... This lessons shows that not everything has to be super fast and advanced to sound really awesome. You sure got the blues Ivan... Looking forward to the next lessson.

sorry I mean relaxing

just want to say i again: Brilliant lesson, this has such a "feel" that i can really enjoy playing, so relacing!!

what means the g in the tab

Damn this is....got no words for it, Ivan you truly have the blues feeling in you, please do more lessons of these, im begging you!

Thanks man!

Great lesson Ivan, I'm getting it, having a little trouble with the speed on step 7, but its coming. Look, I've searched the forum for hours and can't find the answer to this: what are the letters above the tab - Q, E, T, etc?

thx,
Tym

Excellent, this lessons is so well done, can get enough , very good , grt Frans .

this lesson has been such an inspiration ivan!!! I am really enjoying the blues feel and it has made me much more creative in my playing

Great way to practice vibrato

Awesome

Nice and thx. I have been practicing the last blues lesson u did and am starting to get some understanding of the "bluesy feel", this is the first blues I have ever played. Now will start on this lesson, keep em coming:)

Good job. Looking forward to upcoming ones.

great lesson cant wait for the new lessons

great licks in there

Nice intro too. Which hendrix song was that?

Sounds so interesting. Im gonna get to it. Really cant wait for more. nice tone too.

Good lesson, nice bluesy sound

This is really cool! Keep it up

Great Ivan. I really think that these kinds of lessons let beginners advance much more quickly because they beg to improvised over. There's nothing like gettin in the groove on a sweet little ditty such as this. Can't wait for the follow ups.

Ivan - Top shelf once again! Thanks!

-But..what does 9g11 in your tab mean ?-

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but I believe it means "gliss" or "glissen" which is a very quick, almost undetectable slide from the 9th to the 11th fret.

Yes!! This is what i wanted!!
Thanks Ivan!!
