Video Guitar Lesson #1

Hey, what’s up Folks?

How’s it going? Hope all is well.

I know I’m ready for the weekend! (It’s been
“one of those weeks” if you know what I mean.)

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about blues guitar
lately. So, I decided to create this *special* lesson
that will show you how to play a simple 12-bar blues.

Step 1: Get the tab for the video…

Right-click here and “Save as…” to save a copy of the tab to your computer. Then open the file or print it out.

Step 2: Watch the video! Pssst… at the end of the video I say, “I’ll show you the close-ups next. Well, I figured the closeups weren’t necessary since I provided the tab for you. So, there’s only one video for this lesson.

Cheers,

Dan Denley

P.S. Will you do me a favor? Will you leave me a comment
below and let me know what you think of this lesson? I’d really
appreciate it.

And if you have any questions just let me know. I’ll try my
best to answer them in a future lesson.

hey, i found the second part of this lesson really helpful, where you explained all of the chords.

Thanks for making guitar easier!

Hi Dan :I think your lessons are very interesting.Although I play alot of what you are showing,I see ways you use notes different from what I,m use to playin.Always love to learn new stuff.Keeps the interest.Lately I practice ,practice, practice.Other words I want to improve.Your lessons give me new insight on some old stuff.Thank you for all the newsletters,and your lessons are great.I pass them on to some beginner,s I know.Hope you keep doin, these videos.Is also fun to jam with.Sorry to say I can,t purchase your video at the moment.I have a move coming up along with a truck and all the changes in the internet and phone.It,ll be a while.Soon as it,s possible I would be interested in ordering your video.Could be a little while as I,m swamped with bills.Once I,m settled in the new place hopefully I,ll be able to order from you then. Your videos have lots of info and I like receiving them.They,re alright Dan. Thanks again , Pete

Hey!

Nice thing, your video demonstration here! I appreciate the repeated explanations of what your hands are doing…

sincerely
Hubert

i have found all your lessons great,havent been playing long and they have helped a lot. Cheers Dan.

I really enjoyed the guitar lessons video. its amazing. as i told you,all the stuff is bringing new paths for my ‘hard head”. thank you.

Dan,
Enjoyed the lesson on blues guitar. Especially liked the detail in which you showed the strumming along with the chords. thanks
jeff

Great!! I’m finished playing for tonight but can’t wait until tomorrow to practice it and learn to play it.

Thanks Dan

G’day Dan
Thanks for the great lesson. You explained it and showed clearly
in the video.
The video is thankfully in a format I can use, (I use Linux
not M$ Windows!).
I have almost mastered it, the cords are getting easier to
switch. (Slow learning, and timing is a struggle too).
I was playing it in the company of friends who are professional
and semi-pro musicians. One said Ã¢Â€Âœthat’s good, but when is it going
to end!Ã¢Â€Â. Could we have some suggestions on how to wrap up a blues
song?
Cheers
Neil

This was a great lesson. Easy to learn, doesnt take much time. Its gonna be fun trying different variations.

Hey, thanks for all the awesome feedback! You guys rock!

Hey Dan,
Now thats the right way to teach someone. The closeups with the added options are great, and clearly show how to place the fingers and what you are doing. Super work!!

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am 55 years old and my hands do not work like I would like for them to but I was able to follow along and as I said I ,thoroughly enjoyed the lesson.
I am taking face to face lessons but feel that I learn more by looking at what others are doing as well. I have been working at it for 4 months so as you can imagine it is slow going at this time but I am determined to learn and spend my time wisely.

Thank you for what you are doing.

Sincerely,
Larry Herring

Dan, I want to purchase your new course. Please let me know when I can purchase.

You’re the best,
God Bless you,
Mark

Dan,
I’ve been a long time watching you. It is a good thing what your are doing.
I can’t afford your course’s but the things you give free are great. I collect the little things and puty then together and learn lots. Your news letters are clear and good. I thank you very much. God Bless you!
Bob

Hi Dan,
Great stuff. I’m a beginner. So, I have to practice lots of different things. Chord progressions, scales, etc. It’s fun to play your blues lessons and it keeps me from getting bored with the guitar. Nice videos and the closeups with the tab really help my rhythm and fingering. Keep doing it. Thanks.

Hi Dan,
I have been learning to play lead for about a year and a half. I want to say that your Amazing Guitar Secrets was the biggest help in learning. I have a long way to go. Your new video on the Blues is the best I have seen. I can’t wait to see what the whole will look like. I thank you for the lessons. Learning the blues will give me the feeling I need for the guitar.
Thanks Ed

ey Dan i think itÂ´s a great job, you are a great musician, thanks a lot for your help, i love blues and your style is awesome.

GREAT VIDEO, LOVE THE CLOSE UP ON THE LEFT HAND AND THE TAB DOWNLOAD, SO I CAN PRACTICE LATER. REAllY NICE JOB, KEEPS ME COMING BACK FOR MORE.
THANKS, LIN

I have practiced daily and have learned. I have played guitar for many years and have theory knowledge. Will your new course be geared towards the more experienced musicians or will it be including material for the novice?

Say Dan:

Merry Christmas!

But Danny listen! Your tapes have all not operated well for me. They’re all playing very poorly, they’re sticking and more like slow motioning and have you looking like King Kong on top of the Empire State building and sounding like chop suey. Maybe you can explain what I’m doing wrong.

But Dan, while I have you on the line…I need you to explain exactly what the effect of leger notes are or should be on tune. I mean like, effect on the body, and on the end of the song. You know, like, on the beat of the thing.

Thanks a lot, and happy holiday.

Hay Dan,
Very well done! Thank You!!

simply WONDERFUL……..

like your teaching style and the close ups

Hi Dan, I have found your course very helpfull & it’s giving me insparation to experiment a little on my guitar & try & find my own sound.
Thanks a lot … Reno

Hi Dan:
I am collecting your lessons and as winter comes on in the great white north I am beginning my return to guitar and by the way your videos are the best anyone could ask for. Keep up the good work for us beginners.!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Murray

Your videos and explainations are great! I look forward to the release of your instructional package. I try to teach guitar to some youngsters and your methods give me a good idea how to break down lessons and skills to pass along… May God bless you and your family.. JS

hey dan thankyou for taking the time to create these videos they helped me alot and i learned very much from them

P.S. keep them comming

Hi Dan,I really love this video and the music.I am 58 yrs.old ,disabled but still try to learn new licks.I am going to try to get this new lesson package if I can afford it.I have been real sick lately but still love your work and playing.Thank you for what you have already taught me.I really admire your teaching. Thanks again Jim

Dan, I have been trying to get in a wee bit more of practice lately, but I can’t seem to get my pinky finger on my left hand to go where I want it to. I had it whacked off one fine September morning and sewn back on. ( Ahh,the Military) I also as mentioned in the past have had a few tiny strokes. With your VIDEO lessons I am almost able to get most of my old chops back due to just following you in practice. I wanted to thank you for taking your time out and doing this for us.
Well, I’m off to the V.A. to see if they are going to finally cut me up some more! What JOY they bring!
Cheers,
THANKS!
Ernie G

looks good to me and something that i could play although I don’t normally use power chords.I play mostly for fun and sing alongs and recently have been introduced to bluegrass music which I enjoy.My wish is to be able to pick\or play lead on bluegrass songs (take the break)it is a bit more complicated than I thought but still fun to try. great lesson:)

Dan I think these lessons are extremely well done. They are easy to understand and follow. They are great for beginniers, intermediate, or even advanced players. Remember your never too good to learn new and fresh approaches. keep up the lessons.

I listened and watched your instructional videos got me interested, i will be starting from scrach what do you have to offer me to get me playing, i would be happy if i could just play one……..thanks.

Dan

Dan I just signed up for your free lessons on the BLUES ,SO WAS WONDERING WHICH COURSE

Dan I just signed up for your free lessons on the Blues,and was wondering which of the courses would be the best for a beginner.Ihave a Peavey accoustic and would love to play gospel music plus some oldies all types of music

Your easy going style is very easy to follow and your ability is unquestionable. People like you are what keep a lot of people like me going. Thank you

Dan: As usual, you have done it again! More great lessons from the master. I can’t begin to tell you how much your lessons have added to my knowledge and ability. You have given me the tools I needed to make playing my guitar fun again. Now, I want to learn everything. Your lessons are easy to understand and your videos are clear and consise. The audio on your lessons is also top dog. Thanks again, Dan. Larry Port - Tucson, Arizona.

whoa i dont know how but Mr. Dan u r really are a master i learned very easy with ud its amaizing thanks for the courses.

cool stuff

its worst

Why does’nt the video play?

Why can’t I hear this?

Hello Dan,
The Blues video is outstanding, great!
Do you ever teach Travis picking? I’m very interested in learning this style. If you have any videos or lessons for this style, please let me know.

All I’ve seen so far is your advertisment, and lesson 1,but so far it looks like something I might be interested in buying. We’ll see, LOL.
Mike

kool. am from pakistan and am learning all of this .

i think your lessons are set out in a simple enought way that even a simpleton like my self was able to understand ty

Maybe my connection is fouled up but these sample “lessons” are less than minute long. They start in the middle and stop abruptly. I can’t tell enough about your product to know whether or not it is any good, although you seem like a pretty good teacher.

Not a tutorial because I don’t have much time, but here’s an email that I dropped Dan just a minute ago saying “thank you” mostly in regards to his AmazingGuitarSecrets.com course, but anything he puts out in general!!
*************************************
Hi Dan,

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much I appreciate you and the time you put into all of this. I’m an intermediate guitarist and I’ve been slowly working my way through your Amazing Guitar Secrets course and the DVD and signed up for a few trial videos from your Blues project. I love how you lay everything out and have enough respect for education and your craft not to go off on these complicated riffs and solo for the camera. I was skeptical signing up for Amazing Guitar Secrets, but something made me go for it. The name is good and straight to the point, but it’s not common in music for “amazing” and “secrets” to be advertised in an education program and be worth anything… I plan on signing up for your Blues course, but money is an issue for this one. I understand you want this to be your means of living and you never stop working hard and planning for these things. You seem fairly young and so knowledgeable and sincerely caring about people understanding and learning…I’ve never met you and know it sounds weird, but I’m proud of you and your accomplishments with your courses because I know how much good can come from them and how make it all relate and make sense. I’m 20 years old and having some financial troubles, but I will order your Blues course as soon as I can, I love what I’ve seen in your trial lessons.

heyyyy!!
i love your lessons!! i’d love to hear more and more as i’m really keen to become good guitar player.. =P
thank you for all your tutorials so far.. ;p
–nadya,singapore–

Wow! Thank you sooooooo much for all the awesome comments. I sincerely appreciate everything you guys (and gals) have done for me and my family. I can’t thank you enough for your kind words and encouragement. I know it sounds cheezy but y’all really mean a lot to me. Thank you. Thank you!

Cheers,

Dan Denley

P.S. Nick E. Thanks for the awesome words. The feeling is mutual.

Hey Dan,
hope you well bud
I’am new to this but watching you gives me hope.The video and the close ups are just what i need and are extremely well done
Now thats the way to teach someone like me
many thanks steve (U.K)

This is absolutely awesome. I am learning so much from it..So many different ideas, to get me moving in the right direction.Thank you for sharing this with me

With you so far - easy to learn and ok tabs to follow. NExt step

I am on broadband but it is still too slow to be able to get your lesson. The sound comes and goes and is very distorted. Is there some way you can get your files to be playable on a slower connection?

haven’t really tried to go along but this Dan Denley Guy is WOW! and am pretty amazed on how he does all of this things, wanyways,

KEEP IT SAFE

LOVE LOTS
-johto-

knocked right ouy never seen any videos like yours

Just what i was looking for you must have read my mind man.

What’s up Dan? I am a green player, right off the tree.I am a student of Ben Edwards.You and Ben are both top notch in my opinion and make it look so easy.I was really diggin guitar lesson # 1, that little lick has jiant attitude.I’m sure I can play it but I ran into a problem. The part 2, of lesson number 1, is GONE, SO I CANNOT SEE THE CLOSEUPS………can you help me out? I took a look at the tab and developed a nosebleed……….If I had to read tab to save my life, start making the funeral arrangements? Thanks man!

Loved the little snippet of you course. I will never be able to afford to buy the course as I am on state benefit due to an injury. So all these little jems help me get by. Thanks for everything.

Dan

looks like a great think you have going hear, best I have seen, I am laid off at this time and as soon as I start working again I will be ordering your program.

Keep up the good work.
Brad

THANKS!!! I am a true beginner but I have always wanted to play. Your close-ups and slow playing on the video clips are fantastic helps. I have played piano a little but I am still having some trouble converting the notes ont he piano keyboard to the 6 strings on the guitar. I love the blues!!! Thanks so much.

Learning the Blues is a lot easier then I thought it would be

Hey Dan,
I started playing at the age of 12 and played for about 10 years. I am now 55 and returned to playing 2 years ago after, if you can believe it, almost 30 years…where does the time go? Anyway, I like what I’m seeing and hearing. Wish this was around when I first started to play, perhaps I wouldn’t have taken such a long break (life just got in the way). Just wanted to commend you on what I consideer to be an outstanding program that you’ve developed. It should be a great source of inspiration for young and old alike.
Thanks,
Scott

good but couldn’t get part 2

i think ur lesson will be very helpful to me.thank u a lot!!

thanks for all your help @ support the lessons are great at 63years old i find it hard to move my hands has fast as i would like however you explain the chords very well thanks Dan regards Dave

simply brilliant,THANK YOU.

Can’t say enough about them…thanks and keep up the great work!

I like what I have seen and heard so far.I’m 58 and started playing when I was a teen.Now that I’m retired I am practicing evey day and want to be the best I can playing guitar. I plan on ordering your blues course in the near future. Keep up the good work!

Really appreciate what you are doing to promote guitar playing. Thats what I really needed. THANK AND GUD LUCK IN YOUR WORK

Hi Dan, i’m just waitin for the box of gold to arive, gotta wait on the USPS and Canada Post to get it together i guess. I know all the basic chords and minors and a few bluegrass runs, and at 60 years old I want to learn some blues stuff, got an email from Kenny Mann today and followed a link to your site, so now I wait for the gold. Thanks

Gordon Steeves

ps Billy Gibons and Stevie Ray Vaughn, rock

amazing stuff….get it now

Hi Dan..!!

it was great idea to have video lesson..
instead of bunch of words..
thanks..!!

BLUESmann,
Jansen

my name seek God bless you.Your easy going style is very easy to follow and your ability is unquestionable.i thing you are what keep a lot of people like me going. Thank you

its really good! the tabs are great… you play it slow so you can hear the rythm in it. and its easy to learn

Hi Dan,
it is relly cool to learn guitar with your help.it is awesome with your vidio clips.It encourages me to learn more and more.Thank you so much and God bless.Your lessons are improving my guitar skills.:-)
Learning guitar is coooooooool.

Glorya

So either you have the hands of a giant or I have the hands of a midgit, cause I can’t even get close to the hand and finger spread you show

i could not see the fingering of guitar

d,
short — to the point — but a little basic for me — it’s hard to know if this is going to address guys like me who are not great guitar players but are no slouches either — i’ll keep on truckin’ though —

Hey Dan,
thanks for the first lesson sounds real greatlooking for the close ups .regards Geoffrey

You offered your blues course several weeks ago for around $97.00. What course was that? It included several cd’s etc and your guarantee of 10 mins. a day for 30 days and You can learn the basics of blues. Can you resend that info. I looked at your website and I’m not sure which course it actually was. Thanks Bob

Dan- In doing your first introductory instructional video, you seem to flub up one on the cords. Why wouldn’t you do another take instead of showing what looks like an amateurs mistake? Thanks, Dave

Hi Dan,
Great stuff. Iâ€™m a beginner. So, I have to practice lots of different things. Chord progressions, scales, etc. Itâ€™s fun to play your blues lessons and it keeps me from getting bored with the guitar. Nice videos and the closeups with the tab really help my rhythm and fingering. Keep doing it. Thanks.

the most amazing course, very impressive.(i donÂ´t speak english)

thanks for the guitar lessons u are sending me i like them and i like to learn more about the music and thanks

Only two words:

Thank You!

goooooood
thanxs for u

Dan you are the man, for me you are amazing, this lesson are so good, look I’m new in this, and is dificult to mee read the music notes easy, I try to see how you play the guitar on the videos but some times is dificult couse there are not a zoom. could you do this, I mean do a zoom to the guitar, on the next lessons, like an another past lessons??.
PD: Sorry for my writing or how I spell my words, but I dont know so weel speak in english, what ever …thanks for your help!!!! bye

Hi Dan,I am self taught and I have reached that point where I am as far as I can go on my own. I am going to try this lesson that you just sent me to see if it is what I am looking for. I can’t read music, tabs only, so from what I have seen so far, I think this might help me take my playing to the next level. I have been playing for 10 years now and I’m now stuck. I’ll let you know.
In Rochester, N.Y. Thanks

Thanks a lot, but I already got it before, that’ll be great to get something diferent.

Hey Dan,
Love the videos,keep them coming.

L 1 WAS COOL I PLAYED A LOT BLUES I USE TO PLAY WITH L WALTER AND WE T A LOT TIS BEEN ALONG TIME SINCE I HEARD LICKS LIKE THAT KEEP THE GOOD WORK JOE THESHAKER ROCKABILLY LEDGEN GO TO THE ROCKABILLYHALL ANDIT WILL TELLALLABOUT ME. ROCKABILLYHALL .COM

Hey Dan,

Great lesson!!!
Very Cool and Easy to follow.
Thanks

Dear Dan
Thanks for free clip. Just a beginner but this really is interesting. Good stuff.

Hello Dan;

Thank you for the lesson. I printed the tabs off so I could follow better. I like the strum pattern of this lesson.
Thanks again
Willys

really good,thank you…

Hello Dan.
You have a good clear way to explane the content of a lesson. Very keen to see the next.
Thanks fram
Hans

i really enjoyed your blues lesson. thank you very much! i wanna learn more about jazz guitar scales, if possible kindly send me some lessons. really appreciated. more power!

Hey Dan, This is the lesson that convinced me to buy your blues course. It is exactly the sort of music I want to learn to play. While I enjoyed the lesson very much there is a mistake in the tab provided. The only reason, at my level, that I caught it is that it was at the beginning. Since I’m a beginner I have to learn slowly from the tab and work my way up to tempo. But, to learn the blues you have to learn to listen. Maybe that was a lesson for the student also.
Thanks Dan,
Lee Sisson
Sulphur, La.

..hello dan thank you so much for this lesson i love it so much..pls help me to see it on my computer too i did click the right click on it and it will save in my computer but it dowsnt work..i did try it on note pad or wordpad none of them are working ty for this lesson ..and pls send me more about blues scales i wanna learn more about it..godbless

I really enjoyed this first lesson. Real bluesy and not that difficult to learn

lesson didnt play ………thx

Thank you Dan !!!! James

in a world where everything is money orientated it’s great to get some creative skills for free thanks

hi dan it,s great getting started.I

found standard E,A,B.chords a good starting ,but so many times you feel i would like to add more chords so you work with what you know.Is it possable to have the letters above or beneath the cords thank you Mike Blue,s Melbourne Australia keep up the work

A bit basic for me - how about tabbing out the riff you used over the chords using the Em pentatonic ?

A really great lesson,very easy to understand.
Norm.

Whist I find the lesson interesting I find the tab vfery difficult to follow

Dan

I have been playing guitar for a long time, and I love learning new stuff, any kind of music, and I really enjoyed learning this blues. It was to me fast and easy, hope to learn more soon.

Thanks

G’day Dan,

Love the simplistic way you make it sound sweet & blusey.

Thanks

its makes it so much easier to learn when you are shown how to do it , thanx keep it up

Thanks for the lesson it really helps, im gonna teach it to my mate who will play it and we can have a great blues jam.
Cheers.

Dear Dan,
It would be great if you’d offer lessons in specific areas at a low price, instead of a package deal that is too much for my budget, and has a lot of stuff I already know. Ooopsy ? I gotta agree with Dave’s comment. Why not edit out your mistake ? I think guitar playing is half presentation, and half actual ability.
Still, thanks for the free series of lessons, they’ve been helpful.
A Christian musician friend,
Don

I just watched the video, and might I say WOW!!!!! that looks so fun, I going to sit down with my guitar for hours now great lesson. d:0D

Yeh thanks.. I found it more fun to play it with a more up beat.. a bit like SRV style and it sounds cool. Thanks. Its pretty basic tho.. i am more into lead blues .. so hopefully the next lessons are in that direction… thanks..

Nice lesson.. I found it very helpful. Lot of thanks for what you’re doing.

Mr.Denley I thank you so much for educating me with most of your Guitar playing techniques. I look forward to learn more from you because I had been planning on forming a band. I also look forward to learn how to play songs byâ€NIRVANAâ€œ. (Kurt Cobain has been a great impression to me). If I become popular one day itâ€™ll be because of your assistanceâ€¦

nice guitar lessson i’ve tried for years to play on acoustic and i coudnt now i can finnally play at least one song! thanks

your an awesomne guitar teacher STAY ONLINE 4EVER!!!!!!

Thanx Dan

that was very interesting
hope to master those chords and improvise off them!

Hi Dan, Im just learning the guitar and cords and your video has helped me a lot and is fun too. Jenny from Down under

Hi Dan, Also i think your cute too …..Jenny Fron Down Underx x x

Hi Dan,lot’s of work from your side -appreciated. I’m new to guitar and like a sponge for information. might be a 50 yr old sponge but you never stop learning!tnx stx.

Hi your lessons are good, but it is hard to see your fingers and what notes you are playing. I am a visual person in two ways. I like to see the things I am doing and read the things I am doing. So maybe you could write out what the chords are. it would be really helpful. Thanks.

Hi Dan, thanks for the lessons and like Godon above I am a 50 year old newbie to guitar and only wish I’d started 30 years ago - you only achieve your dreams people if you go for them!!! Thanks again Dan.

hi dan
i really apreciate your lessons since i began to learn with you i learned so mpuch thing i ignored them
but if you please wants to make some intermediate or advaced exercises like improvisation or how to make solo just hearing any bleus music

Hi Dan,
Excellent video, nice slow and easy to follow. Sometimes I like to uses another variation of the E7 and A7 chord for just a slightly different sound. Also reminder, using a capo to change to another key and still keep the same chord progression. Thaks for the free video.

Hey there Dan,

I have been trying to learn the guitar for three years now. And your lessons are very easy to understand and learn.. For the first time in my life I am able to pick up my guitar and play alone! Thank you so very much for keeping your lessions free. I don’t have the money to go out and get lessions at this time, so I am very thankful for what your are doing online..

Super video and I really appreciate the guidance since I suck at guitar. Have always enjoyed the blues but now this has spurred me on to give it a go!

Dan:

AWESOME! Thanks I’m really gonna love playing these licks! Since I learned the 12 bar mississippi blues, I’m playin my fingers TO THE BONE!!! Got any band aids!

l would do better if l had the chords to go by.

[...] Which is why I want to point you in the direction of just ONE of Dan Denley’s free online guitar lessons. [...]

Great ideas Dan ,especially the bends. One short coming could be my pc the video keeps breaking up. Keep up the good work Dan. If I could I would get all of your Videos but we at the moment just got a bank start.ed so it is just songs we are into

hi Dan
your lesson is great
thanks =)

thanks Dan for the lessons much appreciatted ….like they say you learn something new everyday…lifes great……

HI Dan,

Thanks for the lesson, and the tab, just started and yeah I can do it, just a little remark is it possible to give the name of the chord in the tabsheet (A or am or E …) cause this makes it simpler I think to remember.
Thanks and I am looking forward for next lesson.
Dona

Hi Dan,

Am just a beginner and at this stage I think I prefer to watch and listen to YOU play!! Thanks for this awesome opportunity to learn to play the blues!!!

some great licks for blues .

Dan you remain on top. Appreciate your efforts directed at teaching the unteachable and adding some wrinkles to grey matter housed in a hard head. Thanks,
Chuck

that looked sooooooooo like the blues that i was looking for

Hi Dan.Thanks for the lesson, it’s really cool.
Diana.

its the easiest way yet well impressed
mate

Hi Dan thanks for your lessons they are a fantastic.cheers from england

Really excellent lessons and close up videos, always look forward to the next one
I,m gonna buy a package soon
Thanks a lot Ron

O.K.

interesting

hey dan thanks a lot. and i’ve learn this blues guitar lesson to you.

I have just watched your short video and printed out the TAB on it. I look forward to getting to spend some time learning it over the next week. It looks like a good lesson so far Thanks

Dan its quite refreshing to find,someone willing to teach the aspects there is too playing the guitar im self taught from ear an want to learn more thank you,i will be getting you video later megwetch..Ah-Ho..

Hi Dan,Your clips sure make a differance to learn different techniques of guitar playing.Thanks

Dude, You Rock. Your lessons are very informative. But I am broke. I will practice of these ad vids till I get the money then. I am getting your lesson. Thanks

Fun pattern. Looking forward to the next two.

thank for the first lessons. i`m from spain but i donÂ´t know play the guitar flamenca. i like the blus and rock guitar. but thisÂ´s because ever i have music rock in my home. if you want to hear something good, you can hear a Paco de Lucia. heÂ´s god. (musicaly talking)

Hi Dan, the first lesson looks great but can not open your pdf docs to look at the tab, plse advice

could play it….

I know only some basic chords. Does the dvd come with lessons on tab??……

While I know all the moves already it was good to see it done in a new way…very helpful

Thanks for the first lesson. THe tab was essential for me to understand what you were doing. Maybe explaining a little more about bends and slides would be useful for beginners like me!
Thanks again, Cathy O

I’m all fingers and thumbs at moment, but a real blues sound is coming from my guitar.

thanks for the 1st lesson. its cool, waiting for the second one. hope to learn more soon.

Hai mr Dan,
Many thanks, so helpfull
I’ll try now

ello dan!i’ve been inspired of what u r teaching!i’ve learned so many things in playing the guitar!i’ve been very bless w/ u!keep up d good work!God bless

Great lesson - poor sound.
The prevalent mains hum and compressor breathing (noise pumping) is distracting to me. No need for any of this, it reduces the otherwise excellent impression. Mail me if you want to discuss it!

great lesson..

thanks dan!

these are great learing tools for sure, like having the tabs to go with videos. thanks bill

i would like to know what program you use to show the A minor and A minor pent. scales i just saw. thanks

I’ve been playing for some time now and am familiar with 12 bar blues. The sample first lesson was played at a good tempo for learning. I ordered the Gold Edition for the blues lessons and cannot wait to receive the material.

dan i love it

Dan, I have to tell you that you make it all so easy. Your video, coupled with the tab and I was playing this little blues number in five minutes, improvising over the changes too!! Thanks, I look forward to the whole course.

WHERES THE TABS$

Iordered your basic set today, I look forward to receiving. Thank you.

i couldn’t open the video

it is very important to me to play this

Thanks,
Craig

hey man! it’s simply the best! u cant get best then that!these lessons are great!

Could you possibly name the chords? I cannot read tab…tooo slow..Sounds nice but I cannot see what you are doing.. Thanks

Does your course show you how to play complete songs?
Thanks.

Very nice Dan … I am using this as a backing for some riffs I am trying to learn.

No Audio to listen to , why is the audio not comming onto my DELL computer.

Dan,
Just went to check the lesson 1, all I can find are many small files that add up to the page on your site, the ad page, the one with all of the testomonials.
Not much of use that I can find. That is probably owing to my computer skills and not your lesson.
Just an fyi, one or two testomonials would be fine, don’t need to know the whole customer base, you seem to really be who you say you are and the lesson samples look great.
I however am on a very small fixed budget and can’t afford the lessons. They are reasonabaly priced and seem worth everything you say they are. By the by you have something else going for you, you look like “Dan” from Brown’s Music in Yucca Valley. If you are as good of a teacher as he is a guitar repaired, your great.
Thanks for the site.
Michael

Well done Dan.
I’ve just begun an academic music course, and one of the options is ‘blues guitar’.
Having only ever previously played classical guitar, I’m now adapting finger picking (pima) to a steel strung (electric acoustic) instrument which I purchased 16 days ago.

All advice, hints and tips most welcome.

Regards … Jeff.

PS As I ‘read’ notation, I’ve no need for the tab.

Hi!
As a beginner I miss the Chords in tabs.
I did understand the chords but if it gets harder maybe I could not figure them out so easy.
Ronny

Sounds great but still cannot read the tab????? How ????? I have tried everything but no go. Can you hlep me . I have your 2 books and 2 dvd gold version and sure would like to get movin”

Hallo, as I am living in Belgium, I would like to know if you deliver the course in BE and how long does it takes to reach me, and what about if I don’t receive it after paying it.

Hello Dan. I’ve heard about your method. I really want to improved it. The most important thing when you start to play, is to see what you can do, and what you can show…It’s really a great motivation. So this lesson is right like that…if you understand what I mean…It’s also something to enter yourself to the others lessons…

I found you looking for guitar chords.
I am having a hard time finding a teacher,I guess I just found one.
Thanks!

Hi Dan,

Amazing lesson..however, I just broke two cords and have hurt my left eye..I am taking a break mate..God sake!!

See you soon;

Good more please, Regards Jeff

impressed with your lessons and your fluent style. However my old fingers don’t seem to work correctly, just gotta practice. practice and practice

Dan,
The up/down stroke indicators on the tab for this free demo lesson (#1) appear to be incorrect. At least you’re not playing it that way in the video, and I would say that’s the correct way. Maybe you should fix the tab. Anyway, it was fun playing.
Jim
