Acoustic Blues Video
Hi Folks,
We’re only 14-days from relaunch of Acoustic Guitar Secrets! The first 1,000 copies sold completely. So, we shut down the website and stopped taking orders for 2 months! Anyway, the course will be available again on Friday, March 14 , 2008.
Also, there will be some fast-mover bonus videos for the first few people who order. And you’re guaranteed to get the “old” price. We’re not 100% sure, but we’re thinking the price is going to go up significantly after these 1000 are gone. So, if you’re interested in getting a copy please make sure you get there early. Because it could sell out again quickly!
About the video:
A few people mentioned that they can’t watch the videos. We think this may be because their length. So, we dramatically shortended this lesson. In the acutal course, this particular lesson is about 5 minutes long. But we’ve shaved it down to just over a minute. But hopefully you’ll still be able to get the gist of what it’s about. Be sure to download the tab for this video before you watch. Enjoy!
Want more video lessons like this one?

December 4th, 2007 at 10:36 pm
Dan,
I can’t wait to try this when my new Martin acoustic arrives just so I won’t be so blue. I liked that lick, and can’t wait for the whole disk set release. Keep on pickin’.
December 4th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
Great, Great…
December 4th, 2007 at 11:10 pm
I can’t wait for the release, but where do we go order one of the first copies? Please help!!
December 4th, 2007 at 11:45 pm
I’m amazed by this link because of the timing and fast movement of fingers and picking in an acoustic guitar!
December 5th, 2007 at 12:42 am
Excellent Dan. I’ll be ordering your “Acoustic Guitar Secrets” course.
If you have included some Ragtime and Boogie it will be perfect.
Thanks for you awesome works.
December 5th, 2007 at 12:56 am
Let’s see……..Amazing Guitar Secrets..check
Blues Guitar Secrets..check
Lead Guitar Secrets..check
Acoustic guitar Secrets…whoops..better add a date to my calendar so I can continue on my AMAZING journey!!!
After winning the strat earlier this year, I won’t be entering the contest for the Martin as my wife bought me one for my birthday in 1981. However, I will be ordering your new course because of my complete respect for your teaching, customer service and the fact that my strides towards becoming the guitarist I’ve always dreamed of becoming have come to fruition due to you and your work!
God Bless you and your students!
December 5th, 2007 at 1:05 am

December 5th, 2007 at 9:48 am
hey dan, awesome video!! really looking for some acoustic blues stuff! when can we order??
December 5th, 2007 at 10:36 am
Love all your courses I have purchased. This will be great on my only old acoustic and encourages me to work harder. I started picking it up more lately and with this new course I will order makes me excited. I favor acoustic, it’s not like playing elect and should really be helpful of my desires.
December 5th, 2007 at 11:23 am
Enjoyed the lesson, very good
December 5th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
I like a lot your lesson pulled Pork plate as soon as I finish the jamorama course you can expect my order, have a happy Holidays, thankyou Chaoooo
December 5th, 2007 at 8:05 pm
Dan
This Blues lesson was great . I have learned a lot from your freebies and your videos that I have bought. K.eep up the great work ,I realy enjoy everything you have put out.
Bud
December 5th, 2007 at 9:06 pm
Acoustic freebies have been very good Dan. My only concern about buying this course is camera angles. The video seems to switch back & forth between left and right hands.. it’d be nice to have two cameras so I can concentrate where I need to when learning. Can you please clarify how the actual course shows hand positions..
Thanks.
December 5th, 2007 at 9:07 pm
Hi Dan
Great video clip
Thanks
Richard
December 5th, 2007 at 11:23 pm

December 6th, 2007 at 8:21 pm
Hey Dan..
I’m loving what I am hearing & seeing. I will be purchasing Acoustic Secrets. I have purchased Amazing Guitar Secrets, but Acoustic is where my heart is!….
Rita
December 7th, 2007 at 1:45 am
Great, Dan. Thanks a lot. Just let me know when your course will be available.
December 7th, 2007 at 10:53 am
Thank you!
December 7th, 2007 at 3:49 pm
Dan every video you send I cant’ watch. The picture is clear but moves very slowly and sound is distorted. I’m told it is “buffering” whatever that means and it shows a percentage that increases but then starts again. Do you know what the problem is?
December 7th, 2007 at 5:09 pm
Graeme,
Hmmm. I don’t konw, man. Question: Are you on a speedy connection like DSL or Cable? Because you won’t be able to watch on dial-up.
Dan
December 7th, 2007 at 9:11 pm
That inspired me even more,to play that would even make my guitar sound great
December 8th, 2007 at 2:15 pm
Now that is good…
December 8th, 2007 at 3:31 pm
Acoustic guitar is my nemesis,, This could be the key that i’ve been waiting for.. Great work Dan.. Keep em coming…….
December 8th, 2007 at 10:46 pm
great video Dan, love your work.
I have your Amazing Guitar Secrects, and your Blues Guitar Secrets, and they are awesome!
Graeme, ‘buffering’ is when your pc is downloading a part of the video
a small buffer means that you need to have a fast internet connection to see the video’s smoothly.
a fictional example:
we wanna see a 3 min vid, and your buffer is set to lets say: 10 seconds, but it takes 12 seconds to buffer…
what happends is that you’ll be waiting 12 seconds for the first 10 seconds to start.. while those 10 seconds are playing (or paused), your pc starts downloading the next 10 seconds (0:10 to 0:20), that is called buffering.
if downloading those 10 seconds takes longer than 10 secs, you’ll have to wait every 10 seconds…
press the play button, and then press pause. wait for a while (so your pc has time to buffer the whole video), and press play again.
not sure if it’ll work (I don’t have those issues), this ‘trick’ also works with youtube videos
I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Vincent

Great job. Wonderful tab. Easy to understand - sounds great - and boy, it is pure southern blues. Dan, you blues style makes beale street proud! Great lesson in technique.

December 13th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
Hey Dan
Great tune!
I just got my email notice that my copy of “Acoustic Guitar Secrets” has shipped. Can’t wait. Christmas is coming a couple weeks early for me!
Thanks,
James
December 14th, 2007 at 12:21 am
I wish you had more lessons like that. Picking with my fingers has been the hardest thing to learn for me.
Keep-um Kummin!!!!
Thanks

i bought your amazing guitar 2.0 and for some reason the cd i got with the scales did not work just hummed loud could i get one that works please
December 14th, 2007 at 1:09 pm
This lesson looks very compelling. It probably is simple but it adds as lot of interest to the strumming of the guitar.
This particular video did not have the hesitations that some of the other ones have had.
December 15th, 2007 at 10:13 am
Hi Dan,
I don’t think it has sunk in yet with our granddaughters yet that the combined order we placed for Amazing Guitar Secrets AND ACOUSTIC GUITAR SECRETS. is for them and me, but it will. Our oldest granddaughter has a b’day coming up on Dec 24, and I don’t dare give it away what we are giving her, but she is going to need something to go with that lesson, and remember those 3 “average” acoustics I mentioned in my post in the contest? Well, when I “sold” myself, I also made a decision at the same time what to do with the newer one.
I’ll figure out what to do with the other ones eventually, DEPENDING on their interest level. Thanks for the contest, because it really lit a fire in me to order. That made it really worth while, no matter what the outcome is. You sure know how to generate a lot of enthusiasm Dan. Keep up the good work. Will be watching anxiously to see the outcome, whenever your staff decides.
Thanks again. K.L.
December 16th, 2007 at 2:47 pm

Hi Dan
I would like to process my order but don’t know how to go about as I am in India. I would not like to miss this second opportunity of your guitar acoustic course. Please furnish details for procuring a copy for me. Since I am not familiar with notations, would I be able to make guitar progressions on the scale etc.
Regards and happy holiday.

I couldn’t get it to play only about 4 sec
March 6th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
I really like your work, you are just a bit advanced for me at this time but I download all your clips and hope to be able to use them in the future. I am interested in blues and jazz, country, gospel, R&B, Blugrass, and just about anything else that sounds good to me.
Keep up the good work. Gene
March 6th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Just a beautiful way to play an acoustic.Let me know when I can get a copy!!!
March 6th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Dan, Today i stumbled across your “Pork” video. Any tips on how to play the bass note at the same time your playing the melody ? I seem to be stumbling on that. I play jazz and elecrtic blues. I have allways had trouble with the running of bass notes while playing the melody or lead. If you can help you will have a new fan for sure. Either way i will check out your cources. Thanx for your insight.

March 6th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
I love these little licks. They help when putting all of the lessons from Blues Secrets to work. Great stuff Dan!
March 6th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Hey Dan,
Great video lesson. Am planning on ordering this time around (3/14) One request for future. Please. Something on Boogie for us dinosaurs that are still up and planning on continuing our musical acheivements until the very last
curtain call. U are one of the best instructors I have come across in my 50+ years of musical enjoyment.
God bless and keep up the good work. One of these days I will be able to afford an accoustic Martin possibly after my eye heals from the last surgery.
Jim
March 6th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Ordering your course is definately on my to do list this time. I’m still in the middle of Learn and Master Guitar (your recommendation), but I really love the blues.
March 6th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Man your goooood!!! I wish I had the time to practice, every time I follow any of your lessons I feel like I advance a Mile!
Thanks
March 6th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
hi, this looks hard. i just started guitar. and this stuff’s a bit confusing.. got any tips??
nice song tho. i hope to become a guitar player like you!
cheers!
March 7th, 2008 at 12:29 am
As always, another high quality Dan Denley Lesson…
You always make it look so much easier than it is in practice but then again if it was easy we wouldn’t need to practice daily.
Nice local flavor sound .. All in all a very cool piece.
March 7th, 2008 at 5:39 am
So I have to have DSL to access your materials?
March 7th, 2008 at 7:29 am
Dan - this was great. I just started teaching guitar and one of my little guys heard me playing Pulled Port and just HAD to ‘know that song NOW’! Thank you!
March 7th, 2008 at 7:56 am
Nice. I purchased your Amazing Guitar Secrets and it is the best!! It gave me a good understanding of music theory and has helped me excell in my playing. Love your blues acoustic lessons to. Thank you so much and keep on rockin

This got my interest more than anything I have found to date. And I’m only 62! Mac
March 8th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Hi,
Great videos , I’m teaching myself to play acoustic blues guitar after 25+ years of playing upright bass in various bands ( still playing upright though ! ) - I would like to buy your DVD’s but can’t find anywhere that says how much they cost . Can you let me know ?
Thanks,
Andy.
March 9th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
wow!!!!pulled pork,i dig it,this is the first time my finger pickin sounded ok!!!!
March 9th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Hi Dan, I bought your AGS course and am plowing through it. Your blues “pulled pork” is awesome but I am having trouble picking what strings you are plucking for the melody. You are very quick with your fingers and I am having trouble tracking them on your right hand. Can you point out what strings you are picking.
Thanks for all the info, ideos and support. I am not learning as fast as I had hoped and get lost easily in the sea of information. Do you have any tips for me??
Cheers Andrew in Australia
March 9th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Dan, As always, a great little ditty, Thank’s.
March 10th, 2008 at 12:39 pm

March 11th, 2008 at 5:27 am
I do not know why some people said they could not watch the videos because of the time I found it fascinating and not too long at all. I always find you work the right length and informative. Keep it the same
Karl
March 11th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
great riff Dan, pulloffs were great, thanks for the small things are wonderful.
March 12th, 2008 at 7:49 am
Hi Dan,I’m 55, bin playing electric Ibanez for 1 year, no previous experience. Very helpful to see video & have tab & have something simple to practice.
Thanks, will keep at it.
March 12th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Thanks for the video.Very cool licks to learn.
Good to see you support your products even though you dont have to with the free videos. Thanks! Look forward to the others.
March 13th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Dan, you never cease to amaize me, this video and I gotta be honest, simply kicked ass, Thank you Dan very, very, very, much, please send more in this style, again thank you Lloyd Hamilton lloham54@hotmail.com
March 13th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
This is one awesome song and you are one awesome player. Just wish you could answer some of my questins that I send you.
I am working hard on pulled pork. Where on earth did you get a name like that!!!
What is the DVD that you are advertising? I have the Amazing Blues and Guitar packages and I see you keep referring to the Blues for the purchase of this disc???
Just keep thos lessons coming as they are the greatest learning tool becasue they are in complete packages and very motivational.
You must eat sleep and drink guitar man!!!
March 14th, 2008 at 10:47 am
I am very interested in learning the guitar however I am almost 70 years old and my hands lack the freedom of movement that is so evident in your videos. I am somewhat convinced that further pursuit of this venture would only produce frustration on my part.
Thank you and best wishes
Chuck
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:23 am
Forgive ME, but more about the subject, please!! You are going away from the topic too frequently, therefore it is uneasy to read your posts.
April 6th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Lately I have been trying to find any kind of information for my project, but unsuccessfully. Now it seems like I finally found a lot. This is the greatest site among all internet-sources.
April 9th, 2008 at 6:54 am
This post is awesome. I’m impressed by your style - experienced blogger, huh? Added your blog to my favs.
April 20th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Dan, loved the sound of the song but how do you know which fingers to use for plucking. This song has got me really inspired. Thanks
April 21st, 2008 at 8:54 pm
sorry, just caught the finger picking video. Mark

Gibson les paul
That’s my Les Paul! It’s being played by Jeremy, Son Of Cory, the man who located my old guitar for me and helped me negotiate a deal to buy it back. Rock out, Jeremy!
June 17th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Hi Dan - love your courses and often check your website. I was wondering if you would consider building RSS feeds into the site? This would be a cool way to be notified of all your updates.
