Love it! Don’t know how you come up with such great compositions week after week, each with a point behind them to help us advance our understanding and abilities as musicians.
Again I'm blown away with how well you break these down. I'm sure I'm sitting just a few feet away osmosing the lessons. I'm hugely appreciative of your gift to share the way you see it. My light bulb strobes!
You know, Brian, I've been listening to the blues for a long time. I've been listening to the masters for a long time and you are one of my favorite guitarists. You are always playing something that I like.
Thanks again. Your awesome. I'm gonna brag on myself and you. I was out front today messing around, and two teenage girls walked by. One said, you sound amazing. My ego is still bloated, haha. It does make you realize, all that practice is gonna pay off, someday. Haha, if I can live long enough, haha. Heck, I'm pushing sixty, haha.
That is some tasty, burley blues playing, Brian! It takes a full understanding and plenty of experience to put it together like that!👍 It really grabbed me by the ears so hard, my mouth was hanging open! Great phrasing! Thank you!
Fantastic. I started watching this this morning. N.B. I’m a fair intermediate player on some some various strings. So, I picked up my mandolin (because close at hand) and worked on the Am, F, E7 progression and started adding chromatic notes. Things fall into place nicely. I’ll get around to the guitar this evening, but you just added some new ideas to my mandolin playing.
You are a great teacher but... you also play the guitar really great, you always play fresh and very creative melodies that are really enjoyable like this video, you could make a compilation and release an album perfectly
The thing is though if you target chord tones the chromatic scale can work in just about any genre and obviously all 12 keys, right? Whenever jazz guys use enclosures on a given chord tone whether they choose to call it the chromatic scale or not isn't it functionally exactly that? I am sure some would disagree but it strikes me that if one were really good with hitting triad chord tones the chromatic scale would be a secret weapon to show off with. As if the passing tones and outside notes make one sound more sophisticated which is kinda true, but hey what do I know? Great lesson as always! Cheers
Nice guitar. Wide Sky. Getting out my wallet now. Ooops I don't have an extra 5k. I guess I'll just have to buy a Les Paul Standard. Brain thanks for taking my Fax Machine sounding guitar playing and helping it along. Much appreciated.
He mentioned it a couple of episodes back its very similar to a B&G little sister but I think made by a small boutique Luther can't recall the name but if you look at his last say 3 episodes by number I'm sure he identifies it
Thanks Brian trying to rrach out on the link you sent me .not having much luck. Keep up the great work it is inspiring and wants me to get better at this wonderful instrument.
