this is the first time I have ever played blues and it’s fun!
-
I had a lot of fun with this lesson
-
I have to agree, that is fun!
-
This was lots of fun once I got the pattern down and became easier each time I played it.
-
Boogie on Reggae woman!
-
I like doing the turnaround adding notes from the D string to make little chords, gives it some weight. I do drop the B on the 6th string and that slide–don’t lose much and it’s easier
|—-2—–3——4-\—
|—-0—–1——2-\—

This is really going to be fun to learn and play faster as i get into the groove it will definitely help in my future learning of the blues
-
Yeah I liked this lesson so much I finished the course, but came back to it later just to brush up and have the fun of doing it over again.
-
-
Lots of fun!
-
This is fun I come back every few days. play this for a little while then go to Bassman Bobby.
-
This Day 1 Boogie is a great time……. Maybe some day I’ll be able to play it like Tony does…
-
It would be nice to
Show
The tablature somewhere too-
tabs are next to the heart in most cases. Sometimes it is under Materials that is above the video.
Have fun

Thanks Tony! Great first lesson. I just played it for my wife and my dog, Fletcher. That was so much fun. Thanks, man
-
My biggest problem is getting my fingers to move from each fret to the other fast enough. The bottom line is I will master this song like all the rest that I will be practice on to become a real joy to play without any problems. Thank you Tony, for all that you do.
-
Lots of fun- I just received my Taylor GS mini E Koa and it sounds great
-
Fun
-
done at all speeds
-
OMG I love this. Definitely cool, I love this guy. I cant wait to finish this class.
-
Took a bit longer than expected, but the boogie is now a part of my repertoire.
-
Wow! I am overwhelmed. I have not gotten the beginning measure.
-
Get the gestalt of what he is saying then go back and practice. <3 the session and go back to it. If you get two or three main ideas and return, it's OK.
-
Hang in there
-
-
gonna need a few days practice lol
-
I am using my pinky, but it was hard at first. Now I can do if my pinky gets stronger.
-
Using my pinky is difficult !
-
I increased the playback speed and it’s really neat.
-
slow and steady wins the race.
-
That was fun. After I got the basic rhythm done, I enjoyed altering the syncopation a little to give that boogie swing. Have fun.
-
As my partner says for $16 a month better than buying a movie… liking the 12 bar blues… might have to bring my guitar on the plane to Hawaii
-
I was somewhat surprised but I got this down with about 15-20 practice after going through the instructional video. Pretty happy about that!
-
Strudelt at The First few trys but then naild it ✌
-
Rad Man!
-
Got it also,was able to get it easier looking at the PDF provided.Will be going over it daily and then I’ll remove the heart.
-
took 5 days still not up speed, but becoming more ccomfortable
-
more like five day challenge per lesson, and then it still sounds bad, but I did it!
-
im rusty been out over a year
,Tony is great got my juices going again -
love it
-
He keeps reference the tablature. Where is it?
-
Under video, bottom right corner.
-
Hi! Look immediately below the video where learn and play are in bold text. Now look to the right of that. There is a heart (like?) symbol and then a tab diagram (icon). Click on the tab diagram / icon and the tabulatur will load in a separate tab tab of your computer.
-
-
Doh! I meant “tricky”.
-
Fun exercise! The turnaround is a little trick because of the slow down in tempo. Reminds of parts of a Doobie Brothers tune.
-
I can blunder through it quite blunderfully.the transition from A2,A4,5 D4,6 to the half A section on through will take some time (my daily ten minutes perhaps) I’m sure it will smooth out.:)
-
Love it! working on the speed : )
-
Great fun lesson, One of many blues boogie patterns!
-
I am reviewing this course from 2 years ago. I really am rusty cause I used to be able to do the boogie quickly. Will get it back.
-
I would sure appreciate it if you would play some examples of the entire piece all the way through. Two or three times without interruption or discussion. At the beginning of every lesson is great for ease of repetition whole learning. Nice to play along too.
-
Doh! Figured it out. I’m an ultra magoo!!
-
-
Fun thanks….like revisiting an old friend…used to play a lot of blues on keyboard and guitar in bands. Cheers, Di
-
I’m still not seeing tabs, hearts or anything like that. It’s ridiculous. I haven’t even completed a lesson or challenge because i’m preoccupied with figuring out the program. I literally click around blindly thinking the cursor will find what i’m not seeing.
I kinda wish there was a trial period before committing.-
I found it!! Jeez!
It’s not on the video itself. It’s below and if using a full screen view, you’ll never see it.
-
-
Finally found the heart, thanks to tips from others. It’s so faint, it’s hard to see on my screen. It’s not red until you click on it, then you can click the tab icon to the right and pop the tab up. This is poor web design–shouldn’t be so hard to see, and the button could just be labelled TAB–duh!
-
Thank you lawofficewendellavery….!! Had to change contrast on my laptop to see the heart. Pointing it out as being on same line as play was a winner for me. Again, thank you.
-
Below screen, same line as “play” and to the right
-
Where is the frickin’ heart that accesses the tab? Don’t see a heart anywhere on the screen.
-
also unable to find tabs for this course. comments shown said , “right beside the heart is a note. Tap on that and tabs open.” I have been unable to find heart. Bummer… as tabs makes it so much more enjoyable. Trying to write my own tabs is very time consuming. Any ideas??? heart?? Tabs?? Thanks.
-
Right beside the heart there is a note. Tap on that and tabs open.
Congratulations, !
Challenge complete
