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!
November 9th, 2006 at 3:20 pm
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

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.
November 11th, 2006 at 1:12 am
Dan,
Enjoyed the lesson on blues guitar. Especially liked the detail in which you showed the strumming along with the chords. thanks

Great!! I’m finished playing for tonight but can’t wait until tomorrow to practice it and learn to play it.
Thanks Dan
November 12th, 2006 at 5:03 am
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 “that’s good, but when is it going
to end!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.
November 17th, 2006 at 1:43 pm
Hey, thanks for all the awesome feedback! You guys rock!
November 17th, 2006 at 8:07 pm
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!!
November 17th, 2006 at 10:33 pm
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
November 19th, 2006 at 12:15 am
Dan, I want to purchase your new course. Please let me know when I can purchase.
You’re the best,
God Bless you,
Mark
November 19th, 2006 at 3:13 am
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!

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.
November 20th, 2006 at 2:38 pm
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
November 20th, 2006 at 4:29 pm
ey Dan i think it´s a great job, you are a great musician, thanks a lot for your help, i love blues and your style is awesome.
November 22nd, 2006 at 12:00 am
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
November 22nd, 2006 at 1:14 am
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?
November 24th, 2006 at 8:44 pm
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.

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
December 4th, 2006 at 4:00 pm
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
December 6th, 2006 at 2:11 pm
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
December 7th, 2006 at 2:15 am
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
December 7th, 2006 at 4:10 am
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
December 7th, 2006 at 4:04 pm
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!

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:)
December 11th, 2006 at 11:29 pm
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.
December 11th, 2006 at 11:30 pm
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.

December 12th, 2006 at 11:49 pm
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
December 13th, 2006 at 7:27 pm
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
December 13th, 2006 at 9:26 pm
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.
December 14th, 2006 at 2:40 am

December 29th, 2006 at 5:17 am
Why does’nt the video play?
January 2nd, 2007 at 12:44 am
Why can’t I hear this?
January 17th, 2007 at 4:29 pm
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.
January 18th, 2007 at 11:29 pm
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.

January 18th, 2007 at 11:31 pm
kool. am from pakistan and am learning all of this .
January 20th, 2007 at 1:21 am
i think your lessons are set out in a simple enought way that even a simpleton like my self was able to understand ty
January 21st, 2007 at 5:26 pm
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.
January 22nd, 2007 at 12:16 am
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.
January 23rd, 2007 at 1:40 am
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

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.
January 24th, 2007 at 6:59 pm

January 25th, 2007 at 9:03 am
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?
January 25th, 2007 at 10:58 am
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

January 25th, 2007 at 3:22 pm
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!
January 25th, 2007 at 4:38 pm
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.
January 25th, 2007 at 5:37 pm
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.

January 25th, 2007 at 10:48 pm
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.
January 26th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
Learning the Blues is a lot easier then I thought it would be
January 26th, 2007 at 5:17 pm
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

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

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
February 3rd, 2007 at 10:00 am
i could not see the fingering of guitar
February 3rd, 2007 at 3:35 pm
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 —
February 4th, 2007 at 11:57 am
Hey Dan,
thanks for the first lesson sounds real greatlooking for the close ups .regards Geoffrey
February 9th, 2007 at 5:40 pm
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
February 10th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
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
February 11th, 2007 at 10:30 pm
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.
February 12th, 2007 at 1:14 pm
the most amazing course, very impressive.(i don´t speak english)
February 12th, 2007 at 1:45 pm

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
March 10th, 2007 at 6:07 pm
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
March 12th, 2007 at 3:26 am
Thanks a lot, but I already got it before, that’ll be great to get something diferent.

April 22nd, 2007 at 3:02 pm
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!
April 29th, 2007 at 7:31 am
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,

Thank you Dan !!!! James
May 7th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
in a world where everything is money orientated it’s great to get some creative skills for free thanks
May 18th, 2007 at 10:09 pm
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
May 25th, 2007 at 6:47 am
A bit basic for me - how about tabbing out the riff you used over the chords using the Em pentatonic ?
May 25th, 2007 at 7:45 am
A really great lesson,very easy to understand.
Norm.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:03 am
Whist I find the lesson interesting I find the tab vfery difficult to follow
May 25th, 2007 at 10:50 am
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
May 25th, 2007 at 12:04 pm
G’day Dan,
Love the simplistic way you make it sound sweet & blusey.
Thanks
May 25th, 2007 at 12:23 pm
its makes it so much easier to learn when you are shown how to do it , thanx keep it up
May 25th, 2007 at 1:53 pm
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..
May 26th, 2007 at 7:24 am
Nice lesson.. I found it very helpful. Lot of thanks for what you’re doing.
May 26th, 2007 at 8:19 am
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€NIRVANA“. (Kurt Cobain has been a great impression to me). If I become popular one day it’ll be because of your assistance…

Hi Dan, Also i think your cute too …..Jenny Fron Down Underx x x
May 27th, 2007 at 2:04 pm
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.
May 28th, 2007 at 5:25 am
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.
May 28th, 2007 at 7:35 am
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.
May 28th, 2007 at 9:24 am
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
May 28th, 2007 at 10:25 pm
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.
May 29th, 2007 at 1:33 am
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..
May 29th, 2007 at 4:08 pm
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!
May 29th, 2007 at 7:04 pm
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!
May 30th, 2007 at 11:22 pm
l would do better if l had the chords to go by.
May 31st, 2007 at 12:22 am
[...] Which is why I want to point you in the direction of just ONE of Dan Denley’s free online guitar lessons. [...]
May 31st, 2007 at 2:40 am
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
May 31st, 2007 at 11:29 am

June 1st, 2007 at 9:17 pm
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.

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!!!
June 4th, 2007 at 4:24 pm

June 5th, 2007 at 2:23 am
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

June 27th, 2007 at 7:40 am
thank for the first lessons. i`m from spain but i don´t know play the guitar flamenca. i like the blus and rock guitar. but this´s because ever i have music rock in my home. if you want to hear something good, you can hear a Paco de Lucia. he´s god. (musicaly talking)
June 28th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
Hi Dan, the first lesson looks great but can not open your pdf docs to look at the tab, plse advice
July 1st, 2007 at 1:38 am
could play it….
I know only some basic chords. Does the dvd come with lessons on tab??……
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:51 am
While I know all the moves already it was good to see it done in a new way…very helpful
July 6th, 2007 at 1:18 pm
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
July 8th, 2007 at 10:20 pm
I’m all fingers and thumbs at moment, but a real blues sound is coming from my guitar.
July 9th, 2007 at 1:47 pm

July 10th, 2007 at 10:41 am

How do you come up with stuff like this? This may sound corky, but this reminds me of this music site I joined to download music….
