Thank you Justin. That marks the first time I have ever played anything on guitar. Cool. Thank you so much!

MrSnotblock :

Great video Justin! Very helpful.
Have just started learning the guitar and can remember friends at high school who were learning, playing this progression again and again! And that was back in 1964! LOL!!! X-)

BPColin :

good answer :P i suppose youreright

ADILPROUD :

blues is anything u want if it sounds good thn do it jus learn the notes/scale an play how u feel this is blues baby

timtan87 :

no you can’t, the only ‘modification’ though, is the quickchange.

BPColin :

that wasnt the question

darshdarshu :

he finished on A watch it properly dude…

BPColin :

got a question if anyone can take a second to answer:

can the chord order in 12 bar blues be changed freely? because on wikipedia and from friends, ive learned that it goes A,A,A,A,D,D,A,A,E,D,A,A

this video’s version goes A,A,A,A,D,D,A,A,E,D,A,E

i like the version on this video better but im just wondering why theyre different…

BPColin :

the open string is the root note (meaning that letter is the chord your playing)… the other fingers are just changing the additional notes that go with the (root note) chord

mossmanism :

WolzPokemonThunder7 :

awsome lesson! im a total guitar noob but i can play that now!

xbox360fanal :

i like to play a hendrix chord at the end if its in A progression

toomasmoore :

thanks for this lesson, i’m learning the harmonica and this is helping me understand the 12 bar blues better

hanifpoyo :

because that is the bass note..
u can look at chord for instant..
the chord is named, by the base note..
for example G..the base note is on the third fret of the thickest string..which is the note G..

toby099 :

Why is each movement named after the open string and not the string your actually fretting? Argh :@

lilnat77 :

good instruction im a musician but not a string player and i picked up the guitar followed the lesson and im playing the blues a little rough but with practice ill get it. thanks
