  4. A minor pentatonic sounds as well as C minor with backing track. Please explain me why is this happening?

    Do we definitely need to use C minor pentatonic or C blues scale or C dorian mode to play blues in the key of C?

    Thanks.

  5. Camera.Sungha Jung 😛 Great lesson Justin it didnt took me to long to learn because i play allot with powerchords…Cheers!

  6. "Chunka, Chunka is the way to start!" – That’s how You recognize a teacher with expert-knowledge!

    Just kidding! 😉 This lesson is great!

  7. How is that shuffle chord named, or what type of chord is it ?
    Furthermore, great lesson man – keep it up!

  8. I stumbled when i learn it too….
    thank you! You had cleared my confusion!

  9. Hey, love your videos! I find them really helpful, and knowledgeable. Any recommendations for hand stretches/warm-ups? I recently developed tendonitis in my left wrist, and have to wear a brace. makes playing very very difficult, and I would like to avoid any further injury. Thanks!

  10. Great job at explaining the concept! In this case, though, it’s a long way from knowing the theory to actually getting it done. A friend of mine showed me this a while ago when I asked him to teach me "Ya Ya" — I’ve been struggling with that stretch ever since. I kept putting it off, but I just got back into it again today, and after my hand started to hurt I started to google on it, which is how I found you. You’re doing a great job at your lessons, I’ll be back for more for sure! Thanks!

  11. is that tatoo is a taped wire? oh sorry… it’s an arrow….
