this particular lesson has been connecting all kinds of dots for me. it came at just the right time. i feel myself getting better by the day. it's an amazing feeling after stagnating for years. this gentleman is a top notch player and teacher. i've always been a little hesitant about paying for online guitar content, but i'm strongly leaning toward subscribing. i think lessons of this caliber would be well worth $15 a month (or $99 yearly).

Unlike many other youtube teachers, Brian does not make a lurid show with all kinds of grimaces and childish recordings, but with him is guitar-pur and learn at a high level to the smallest details and musical connections. Thanks Brian, for another lesson, packed in a great self-composed song.

@denisechetty4019 Год назад

That's one reason why I love his videos. And there's no annoying ads👍🤗

Could you explain please? I think I understand what your mean by "grimaces," the faces ppl get when they're improvising or playing something epic. But what do you mean by "childish recordings." And what the heck is "guitar-pur?" I just don't get that part. I agree that he's a great teacher. The best!

@dieterreindl6466 11 месяцев назад

Hi Jeffro, thanks for the question. I don't know if the translation from German to English correctly reflects what I want to express exactly. I mean teachers who, for example, show an exaggeratedly astonished expression in the video when they talk about an extraordinary riff or frown terribly when they show a complicated playing technique. The increase of it is, if they play in addition in each case some appropriate video sequence. In Germany this is like a plague, there are almost only pantomimes among the guitar teachers. And in addition Brian is really an example of objectivity and efficiency. And we agree about that. Greetings from beautiful Nuremberg/Germany. @@jeffro.

You know, I’ve been paying 45$ a lesson twice a week with two teachers. They never teach me any little stuff like this. I’ve watched your videos for about a months and just got a membership instead of those lessons weekly. Looking forward to actually learning stuff I want to learn.

@robmiller3464 21 день назад

Brian, simply said, I’ve learned more from you than anyone period. The speed at which you teach and the method is perfect for me. Thank you for everything.

I played guitar for a year then hit a plateau. I didn't know where to go next and nothing was making sense, so I quit for about a decade. Just started playing again on a whim and this pops up in recommended, and wow. Unintentionally you clicked something in my brain about scales that I just couldn't understand years ago, and the way you demontrate this makes me think I can actually play it, and now I'm more excited than ever to play again. Thank you.

I don’t believe there is another guitar instructor on U-tube that makes learning improvisation with basic chord structure and add-ons so easy and fun! You tie the chords together so clearly that you have made learning improvisation fun and easy! Thank you for your teaching style and explaining the chords as you go! I have progressed leaps and bounds since I discovered your lessons years ago! Now I’m improving and discovering connections on my own! I’m grateful for your channel and am a long time subscriber! 😉🙏😊👌 Active Melody is my favorite tutorial!🎸😎

Thank you 🙏

@robmiller3464 Год назад

Brian, you are honestly if not the best, one of the best for improvisation. It’s the way you relate the scale and chords to the improvisation or embellishment. I’m an intermediate player so it’s not difficult, but it does require practice for sure. The pieces you teach are interesting and fun as well. Thanks so much Brian. 🎶👍

The flow of musical energy is released from the tips of the fingers or even the tips of the toes. It's a balance of our flow of musical thoughts. You nailed it on this lesson, just a little different way I explained it.

So lucky you have this lesson this week. Was just working on the concept but was struggling to find good rhythm and melody to practice the concept. After seeing your video I've found several ideas to run with on my own. Thanks Brian.

I love the sound and look of that guitar. A mid 60s D28? The color and tone is so similar to my mom’s D28. (1966). Great lessson, hope I can actually sit and make us of it.

@dustdevilz4771 Год назад

Open strings are always tough for me, my fingers always want to fret a string. Probably from playing scales so much. This will be a great exercise and a nice piece to play.

I have a few subscriptions but yours is one that I'll be sure to keep renewing. The format for premium members is the best bang for the buck with tab and jam tracks. I'm working on EP 516 this week and I really like EP 508, and the chromatic blues one. I have Dirty Blues, The Texas Shuffle, and a Soulful Gospel one down pretty solid. All very tasteful compositions. ❤

I'm going over all your bluegrass and country stuff again. I took a break and see there is a lot more of it since I last looked. Do you have any open tunings you could do some compositions with? I like the Drop-D stuff you put out years ago and would love to see more of that stuff as well.

@darkmysterytemple 11 месяцев назад

I think the major take home lesson here if I'm not mistaken is to use the G scale to make licks but more focusing on the open strings of the G scale. Then incorporate some slides , hammer ons etc ?

Brian, my bluegrass group plays for retirement homes. I played your creation for my group and they loved it and want to put fiddle, banjo, and dobro licks with it to add to our playlist. Can I have your permission to use your creation? Thank you for being a great mentor.

@philipbriglia4153 Год назад

Brian, am I correct that your particular Martin guitar is a 1993 Model? Some DT with snowflake fret markers that they only made that one year ? Maybe a D- 93? Maybe it was a “ quasi custom made model that they semi mass produced - only a limited number for a year or less? I ask bc I bought that model new back in 93 from Elderly Instruments in Michigan. Still have it. Great guitar. Solid mahogany with I think cedar top ?

@philipbriglia4153 Год назад

Oops. I was looking at it on my phone. Now I can see on my desktop - I’m way off. Our guitars are somewhat similar but the fret markers are different and the sides of yours looks like Rosewood. Which I love
