Country, Rock, Blues Licks for Days - This Guitar Lesson is full of licks to steal! - EP515 

I dont even care about the lesson i just wanna hear this man play guitar.

Aside from the great classes, I just enjoy listening to you play. Thanks Brian.

Just starting to play lead, though I have been a singer/songwriter since the late 1970's. Love the track and your playing on this one. Never have been "afraid" and have always enjoyed lead guitarists that play pretty much the pentatonic leads. I find they "speak to me" very clearly. Thanks for all that you have made available - helping me already. Brian Gardner

Jesus brian! Dont downplay the beauty of simplicity!! Love it!

Thank you, I disabled percussionists, picking up guitar at 66 must keep music in my life, your a great help, will drop off tips on payday YOUR A GREAT TEACHER 😊

I’ve “mastered” maybe 8 lessons now (my version of mastered. Won’t be on the radio any time soon). I played this for my wife last night and she was pleasantly surprised to hear me say with some confidence that this will be my next project. I told her that there’s no question I can play it, I just have to put in the time. AM has been great for me. Equal parts of leadership, inspiration and confidence. Thanks Brian.

Thank you Brian. It's always great to add fun licks to our repertoire. Play On!

THANKS I LEARNED AND REMEMBERED A LOT> I SEEM TO HAVE FORGOT MORE THAN I KNOW AFTER REACHING 88 yr

Great lesson! Showing us the bend from F# to G# on the second string unlocked so much for me. Thanks!!!

Yes! So fantastic to break down a lead like this. Builds so much facility. And it’s wild how much clearer everything instantly is compared to a year or two ago when it was still hieroglyphics.

I would like to see more of this kind of lesson. No one does it better. Thank you.

You are very honest about where you picked up some of the licks. That is appreciated.

Brian, as a member of AM I am just blown away by the quality and consistency of your lessons. What would be really cool is a video of you composing a lesson from scratch including the writing and recording process for the piece and backing track. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great work!

Brian, you are such a classy player. You cover so many styles but always shades of Clapton, Knopfler, Cale. Can’t wait to dive into this lesson! 🙏

Loving this style of lesson. So thorough and helpful. Once again you’re a fantastic teacher Brian! Thank you!

That's some cook in' stuff! Can't wait to dive into this

Really cool lesson Brian. This is so valuable and I can’t wait to work on it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

🎸Thanks fot the chosen Topic Brian. Nice & short to the point lesson, without any loss in the depth ! Great stuff....

You..., you are a great guitarist. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Perfect lesson for me right now. And some of this I already know I just needed the reminder 👍

Brian's picking hand in this is the star he just keeps the hand in motion so brilliantly

Love all these sooo useful and cool licks! Now I need to learn all of them! So much fun☺️🎸👍

Just beautifully explained frame by frame nice playing over the top you make it look so easy you have inspired me to go farther down that musical road thank you 🎸

Hi Brian. Great tune, great lesson...So fun to learn/play... Thank you for all the lessons... You are one of the best guitar instructors out there and my favorite for sure...

This intro to this is absolutely incredible

515 lesson is really good i will sign up for the other half, the jam tracks are a must have.

Fantastic, I'm having great fun playing this, I had neglected major pentatonic too much, and so much can be taken from basing improv on major but dipping into minor. The 3 major chords give this an overall Mixolydian flavour too.

It looks like you are having so much fun Brian!

Brian you are a mazing 😊 to teach as i❤ you my friend THANK YOU SO MU

Hello Brian, This is one of the best lessons I've seen in some time now man.....Very cool and thanks.

Thanks! Now I can do myself

Oh man,that is so grooving,thank you.

Wow Brian...that was FUN!!! Let's keep this kind of stuff going. Great lesson!

Nicely done! Thanks for sharing!

Great stuff Brian. This one is a keeper for me!

Cheers from Ireland Brian great stuff thanks ,,, Brian 🎸🎸🇮🇪

Awesome stuff. Thanks for the lessons.

You are the real boss, Brian. Greetings

Great lesson ...I am having a blast with this....just the kind of stuff I love to play ...rockin country twang with alittle stank on it..Thanks for helping me with my chops! Goog day sir!!

wow.... you always impress and suprise me.

Really good lesson! Highly recommended.

Your lessons are so good!

Brian, nice job. Very usable material. The little riffs are great building blocks.

This sounds fun Brian, real excited about learning this one! 👍🎸🇨🇦

Fun ! Gonna try this right now !

Awesome as always🎸

Great stuff man! I do like this style of analysis. Especially with styles that have a few chromatic notes, or things that follow the changes. I am better at seeing how “out” notes fit in than I used to be. It was really perplexing for quite a while. But when you explain things like a flat 7, the push and pull between major and minor, flat 5, etc., a beginner can start to understand the function of each of these. Well done!

Marvelous.. I'm on it.. Bit by bit... Many thanks....

You are my hero bro great work!

Barnacles! 😂😊😅 Much maligned critters, it seems. Great lesson as usual Brian. Love how you explain where the notes come from, and identify the barnacles.

Another great lesson

On to part 2. Another awesome lesson. An E major shape with " Barnacles" 😎👍

Great content…great teaching

now that's good music.!

love it !

That intro was so awesome!

I get in a rut, watch Brian from Active Melody, rut busted! Thank you so much!

Great stuff!

Awesome lesson Brian!

The joint is jumping!!!!!

You are the best

nice playing, nice guitar

Sweet! I’m printing the tab now

nice! thank you!

After watching this several times i would have to say that it is pattern 3 of E major pentatonic vs. position 4 at 5:18.

Super Brain 🍀🙏❤️🎶🎼🎵✌️👌🎸

Impressive

You are by far the best guitar teacher I’ve met so far! Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much! Please keep it up

Brian, you are HOT coming off that 500th episode! And with this one, you're coming in hot! This is a good one. I hope I can play it! I'm just commenting after seeing you play the intro.... Can't wait for the rest of the lesson, I'll get back to it now.... Ok, now I've watched the whole part 1 video, and I understand it, but it's gonna take some practice before I can pay it that fast! Can't wait to see part 2! This is fun stuff! (I'm headed there now...sure glad I'm a subscriber!)

For such an easy over used scale you sure know how to make it sound tasty:)

Good Stuff!👍👍

Sounds epic bro 🇮🇪

Simply magical to watch you play like this, Brian! 🤩

Some of those licks reminded me of a rockabilly I been trying to get.

Classy

💥👌Очень круто!!! 🤝

Oh yeah!

love your stuff so signed up some months ago to your lessons and really enjoying them, one thing I'm wondering though, I'm sort of new to electric guitar and sounds and it would be kind of cool if at the end of the lessons you could chat a bit about your set up and how you're getting that sound? Still working on trial and error LOL

Ok, Brian, you've shown us how to play in the key... ...and how to play the chords ("play the changes").... So, now you're showing us how to "play the barnacles?!" Got it! 👍 👌

Wow

🙌🏼 🤙🏼

Brian, your lessons for these and related video are some of the best! I am not that well versed in the major pentatonic, just learning, but in this video at 5.22 you mention that is the E major pattern 4. When I play it it deems as though it is part of pattern 3. Can you clarify this for those of us that are relatively new to playing the pentatonics?

I have had an AM sub. off and in, when I get a chance I will be back.

The beginning to this was screaming Gary Rossington's Call Me the Breeze solo... 😊

I wonder if you do studio gigs. You have so many different styles in the pocket, and all so fine.

❤❤❤

good lord, man. the neck almost caught fire

Fantastic sound, and great lesson. What is your chain to get that sound?

Brian, this is amazing, truly amazing. I'm a paying member, but this "mini concert"you put on here is worth more than the price of admission!

Not to take away from another great lesson, but I like your Tele which I guess is of course is not a Fender. So I guess it must be a custom job ?

i like it id like to turn it around to low e humm ilike it

James Burton style!

I got Boston lick

can you post the arrangement

what brand and gauge of string you use here?

Is the box at 5:18 really pattern 4? Or is the pattern 3 major pentatonic scale?

By the way. Where I can find part two.

Impossible To havre part 2 with tab don t understand

I'm so jealous of you lmao

That Tele is 🔥
