  12. [..YouTube..] Thanks Mr.Mojo Very instructive video .
    (en voyant tout cela : moral dans les chaussures !! )Le jeu de picking est quand même formidable si l’on le maîtrise bien. (boaf..l’hiver est encore long en Europe )
    J’en suis à l’étude des “Pentatoniques en A” ..Peut -etre une petite video sur le sujet? Pour mieux comprendre les solos ?

    Posted by DowningDan | November 29, 2007, 2:56 am
  18. [..YouTube..] “…a cop from Chicago”?!?!

    Billy Gibbons was born in Houston, TX in ‘49…an’ he was never a cop.

    But thanx for playin’! Here’s a copy of the home game!

  36. [..YouTube..] Hi Mojo,
    I like your lessons and i wanna ask wich pentatonics I can play to this riff?
    This song is in A also the A pentatonic.
    Which other?
    Could you maybe make a lesson: How to learn improve blues guitar?

    Posted by voodoochilepurplehaz | February 20, 2008, 7:23 pm
  37. [..YouTube..] Could be a cool lesson!

    Posted by ThreeChordGuitar | February 20, 2008, 10:10 pm

  39. [..YouTube..] Hi

    I know I should learn to play more with my fingers–but could this song be played with a pick and achieve the same effect?

    Ron

    Posted by ronpurser | February 28, 2008, 10:12 pm
  40. [..YouTube..] Yup! Sure can!

    Posted by Z389X | June 8, 2008, 2:30 am
  57. [..YouTube..] Much appreciated and helpful lesson!

    Sort of a reversal…. I played this with fingers on the electric and a pick on the accoustic…for me it’s usually the other way around. I couldn’t get the volume on the accoustic so I strummed down then a few ups, etc.

    Excellent lesson. Two thumbs up.

    (my grandmother has curtains with the same colour and pattern as your guitar)

    Posted by sewerin87 | January 27, 2009, 11:51 pm

    This is a really nice lesson, and it certainly did sound great. I’m having great fun with this, especially because I got a fake beard I can goof around with too :D

    Posted by Fropmonsi | March 17, 2009, 8:02 pm
  80. [..YouTube..] why are you bashing a guy who gives FREE lessons to learn to play music?? Your 5 minutes would have probably just been wasted on picking your nose anyway. Get a life.

    Posted by g30gentry | April 3, 2009, 2:14 am
  85. [..YouTube..] great lesson, but one thing…i listened to the lesson then listened to the lp. your open chord after the d/g index finger chord sounds a bit muddy, where [zztop] has something else going on. there’s (to the best of my ability) some”3-5″stuff(pentatonic maybe?)going on in your “muddy” chord that you might be missing. but the rest sounds great, thanks for the lesson and 5 stars for the tele!!! good work and keep it up!

  91. [..YouTube..] hey um this is just a question but like if u hav more then one guitarist playing with u in a band and u d o this song wat would be the chord pattern for the guy doing rythm? wat be like just A power chord the go to C and D power chords?

    Posted by prototypep4 | July 22, 2009, 10:06 pm
  92. [..YouTube..] can you make a video for then by
    brad paisley, in standard tuning

    Posted by lespaulplayer1992 | August 7, 2009, 8:08 am
  93. [..YouTube..] that sucked, anyone can look up the tab for that shit, 8 minutes i will never get back. the solo is what people want

    Posted by pacisablo | September 4, 2009, 1:26 am
  94. [..YouTube..] Social graces. You have none.

    Posted by ThreeChordGuitar | September 4, 2009, 7:52 pm
  95. [..YouTube..] Not everyone has the time to weed through the internet and pick the good tabs from the bad tabs. Not everyone has the money to pay for the real tabs either. Thanks for all of your lessons man they make playing new songs quick and easy. Especially after being on call for 36 hours and getting paid 7/hr.

    And solos aren’t learned from videos, you gotta train your hands. Its easier to learn rhythm from video. Solos without hand training sound soulless.

    Posted by greyellesar2 | September 7, 2009, 8:58 am
  96. [..YouTube..] Thanks for the kind words, and for understanding what I am trying to accomplish with these videos :)

  120. [..YouTube..] @pacisablo youre fucking wrong why dont you shut your stupid mouth and learn asshole, if you dont like it, learn it by ear. thanks for putting this video up ThreeChordGuitar, it helps alot of people (like me) who have to learn the song in one night cuz their band is going to cover it soon
