Blues Licks

Yes! Ear training is incredibly effective!

A great way to develop your ear is to use the antique lessons to practice transcribing and create you own tabs.

Hi Fransesco! As this is one of our antique lessons (almost 20 years old!) we cannot do much alterations to it...

However you do have the ASCII (text) tabs below each video. Please let me know if this works for you?

hello , I can not find tab or PDF for the complete lesson , do you have it ? thanks Francesco

hi gabriel, nice lesson. very helpful! can you tell me wich chords did you use to record the backing tracks? tks!

Hi from Bratwurstland,Gabriel!
I think, this is a great lesson,which covers essential knowledge and makes fun to play.I am new to GMC and there seem to be some fantastic lessons.But this is the lesson to start with before trying to get a Shredmaster.
Thanks a lot!

Hey There Gabriel. Great Blues licks. Im not sure if anyone else spotted this but at lesson 6 when u do the Gstring 7b Bstring 5 estring 5
You do it 3 times but on the tabs it says its 4 times

your tab has mistakes.

awesome blues lesson!

hm, isnt there a GuitarPro-file???

Real nice, I love the turnaround, makes ending a solo sound sweet

Gabriel, I love the your tone on these blues licks. What are you using for amp, guitar, and effects? I can't duplicate your tone with my Les Paul, Traynor Yrm-1, and overdrive pedal.

Great lesson Gaby!!!

Great blues lesson Gab!!

Great blues lesson! Helped a lot! Just what I needed. Thanks for the extended Backing Tracks!

your awesome at blues gabe

great lesson, helped alot

thanks

Gabriel,

I always love your lessons. This is another gem. You're such a versatile player & can pretty much do whatever you want on that guitar of yours.

Thanks for sharing & cheers...

Joel

the trusty blues box spice up!

Btw, In your video 6, where u repeat 4 times 7 -5 -5 is not correct to the main video i think, because in ur main video u only repeat it 3 times?

aaaahhh, this is a truly blusy lesson, damn dude! 5/5, this is kind of stuff which i truly adore, old style lessons ^^

please just keep these lessons coming you are truly inspirational

great lesson

love the bluse good work
gabriel

Hi,
I'm struggling a bit with the second part. It's hard to tell from the video but are you just using your second finger for support during this phrase??

Oh man thats a great nice and easy one, it took me about 1-2 hours to learn and its sweet to play... thanks man

Thanks Gabriel

Love this lesson.. Gabriel how long do you think someone should have been playing to be able to nail this? I have been playing for a week and really struggle with part six. Do you think it is just that I need more time or I should try playing something simpler first?

SWEET! I just mastered part 6 of this lesson. Getting it PERFECT was eluding me until I watched your hand like a bazillion times and realized the G string really has to be bent hard and fast like a... uhm... nevermind.

Anyway, thanks for the lesson!

great lesson, u owe me 4 new high E strings though

Yeah please add more blues, keep rockin!

All of your blues lessons sound amazing, and this one is no different. Can't wait to get these licks down.

Thanks for another awesome lesson!

Love That Blues More Please!!



Good Job Gabriel.

Heres to my favorite Blues lesson on this site!!


Very, Very nice work

love this lick

un grande gabi che jajaj

i'm getting started in blues

an answer that need to be responded...never thought of it that way, i like it

Oh yeah Gabriel, the bluses licks are good. ed

I really like this lesson alot but i'm having a hard time getting the timing right with the backing track. i dont know if i just didnt practice enough or i'm doing something wrong.
any advice will be greatly appreciated
thanks.

Gabriel -

Great lesson.

Lots of feeling and timing without involving a great degree of difficulty.

Thanks, I relly enjoyed this one.

I'm having a lot of trouble mapping the sections of the song onto the backing track. In particular, I just can't work out the timing for the second section.

Is there something obvious I'm missing? The tablature doesn't give much away as best I can tell...

I'm also finding that 100bpm is a real challenge for me right now, it's be great if we could slow these tracks down a little using the player.

I have a question: do you use alternate picking throughout?

Great song, dude! I really like this one.
Is there gonna be a lesson 3 too?
This is some of the greatest materials here on GMC.
AMAZING!!

Great lesson! Looking foward to the next lesson.

where is blues lesson 2?

This is my favorite lesson so far, the Stevie Ray Vaughn/Jimi Hendrix influence can be easily heard, keep it up!

sorry about that..any chance you could send me the backing to this? [email protected]

Hey Gabriel..

Excellent lesson. Nice to see some blues. More please!

great lesson, gabriel for my taste i think the fast parts should be before the slow ones. maybe it is only me.

love this one!!

Eyal

What do you mean with "Tuning: Am"?

dude thats freakin aweasome love anything bluesy,you guys should try some stevie ray vaughan,good job Gabriel,keep it coming!!!!

I'll agree with bricktop. This is more my style then say something like Malmsteen or Vai...even though they are both fun as HELL to play in!

that was a cool lesson! more my style...

i checked hot blues licks lesson and...WOOPS I was wrong..

I was probably in a bad mood or something :S

sorry gabriel!

Gabriel, this is an absolutely great lesson. This really hits on the phrasing of the blues and making the guitar talk. Are you going to contiue with a series of blues lessons? That would be great!

Dudes, I mean those licks were already in the Hot Blues lesson...but I can be wrong...

I don't mean the licks are boring...

and gabriel: don't be afraid, I play those licks everyday

To hear a view on the other end of the spectrum, this is my favorite lesson on GMC so far, and the only one that I memorized note for note.

The other lessons are perfect for learning and practicing new techniques, but this is the first one I'd call music. It's also the first one a beginner could play through at full tempo without having to lock himself in a room for 5 years with a guitar and a metronome.

Hope you make a lot more lessons like this!

In find this lesson great! Blues licks are beneficial for everybody interested in any aspect of shred/rock guitar, in my opinion!

I find Kris' Hot Blues lesson way better...

I don't understand why this lesson has been added


But I still find your other lessons great!

lol... that's what my guitar used to look like way back when...

I usually don't like blues, I never listen to them. But playing them is something I find myself doing alot, and I really, really like this lesson!

Really great stuff. Keep on rockin'

Awesome Lesson, in my opinion the best lesson, thats true music. Thanx for that!

Sweet blues lesson...looking forward for some more! Thanks!

Nice lesson! My favorite by you so far! I think you should do a bluesrock lesson sometime too!

Keep em coming!

Great stuff, and i love your tone, what kinda amp you using?

Great blues lesson!

OH MAN, AWESOME!! This was exactly what GMC needed, more blues lessons, this was really great. THANK YOU!

hey Gabriel !
great lesson, a pleasure to play those cool blues licks.
can't wait for the next two lessons.

Awesome lesson! The bit about the question and answer really helped me turn boring scale runs into feely licks
