Transform a few basic chords in to a solo guitar composition! Mellow guitar jam - Lesson EP572 

There she is! Great tone on your new 335! Lucky duck

What a lesson. It will keep me busy for a whole week. Have to remember, I'm 75 years old. It's my crossword, my suduco!

Ben & Andrew are living with a legend in guitar teachers....I hope they take advantage of that.......

These are the lessons that stand out and go directly to my library. Well explained, tabs on video and a lot of content and sounds to explore there. Congrats and thanks!!

Hi Brian, love how you started the melody line and all the beautiful nuances as a whole. I could play any genre as long as it has a good melody. Thanks 👍

What an amazing human you are. Thanks for the lesson! Even for an advanced player, found this chord relationship talk helpful. Man these young cats so lucky, never could afford those instructional VHS tapes in the 80's. What a treat! its a new Golden age ! LOVE that es-335. My dream is a late 1958 early 59, es-335 with NO binding.. trying to find a repo If I had that '61 I wouldn't put it down ever...

Beautiful guitar and rich sound. Congratulations.

Brian, you are a great teacher, fantastic song, beautiful new guitar, congratulations👏👏👏😍

Such a great looking and sounding Es 335 really sweet. Very much enjoyed the backstory.

Love those Chet-inspired harmonized sixths, Brian! Thanks 🙏🏿

Beautiful guitar Brian congrats.

Guitar tone is fantastic, almost chet Atkins, thanks for the lesson

You come up with these absolutly haunting melodies consistently. This makes me want to learn what you know. I'm willing to make the effort with these quality lessons. Thanks

Isn’t she just gorgeous!😻🤩 And perfect for this lovely lesson as well 🎸❤

Thank you Brian for detailing your tips to playing the melody. Connecting and visualizing the chords and patterns associateds with the chords lead to a melody.

Thanks for the amazing lesson Brian. I have a newer ES 335. Your lesson helped me put my finger on what is different about these guitars. The are so resonant particularly in the bass notes. You brought out some beautiful tones with your playing. Thanks for all you do. I enjoyed the extra video with your family driving to pick up the guitar as well. Thanks for sharing it.

Single-finger noodling on top of triads! Simple, yet advanced, at the same time. SO clever. Thanks, as always, Brian.

Great lesson! Really like the tonal sound between chords and notes. I’m playing a 1962 Gretch New Yorker that has also stood the test of time.

Beautiful guitar, vintage are just the best….congrats. You will catch the bug….its a tough habit to break

Your channel is fuckin awesome. It may just be THE best guitar instruction channel on RU-vid. Great lesson(s).

Great lesson! Thanks Brian 👌 Btw, some day could you do a lesson or two on the 2-5-1 chord progression? Thx again!

Encore une superbe leçon !!! Grâce à vos vidéo je développe ma créativité et une autre approche musicale aussi …. Merci beaucoup

Hey Brian loved everything about this lesson. In my 60's myself now, still working long hours though. I've been TRYING to play guitar properly since my early 30's (my first guitar in 1968 aged 8). There's everything in here for me, from the beautiful sound of the guitar and how you've brought it back to life, really cool. The way you explain EVERYTHING in such detail and so concise it's brilliant. I am now a member and have every intention of cracking my guitar playing properly with your help when and if time allows. Brilliant thank you, you're inspirational.

71 here and yes it keeps mentally active. Thx!

Perfect lesson for that astonishing guitar! Thank you Brian for sharing your knowledge with us. I‘m practicing your lessons nearly every day for hours and can’t stop until I‘m as close as I can get (in my opinion)!

It's amazing what you'll find under the bed. The piece suits the guitar and there are plenty of great takeaways here, as always.

This guitar was built for this kind of progression. Great lesson Brian!

There the new (old) beauty! Congrats again on an amazing guitar. I happen to be a huge Noel Gallagher fan, and I know he’s not known for his guitar playing, but his signature guitar is a red ES with a Bigsby.

so glad that guitar found a good home. Correct me if i am wrong but seeing the C# chord played with an A in the base made me finally see how the relative minor thing works.Thanks Brian.

Nice guitar Brian

Hi, from the UK, great lesson, as always Brian, and played on that lovely 335😊

Wow.. beautiful

Nice find!! Watched the video

Another great lesson, sweet sounding guitar also.

Beautiful guitar😊, beautiful tremolo sound! I need to grab my 6120 to play this lesson😁.

Beautiful guitar mate. Sounds like a bell

Beautiful stuff, man! I know I've asked you about this in the past, but I'd love to hear some full recordings from you. I'll even buy them!

Brian, I like the sound of this. It's ironic that your lessons seem to mirror things that I'm working on lately. I've been doing other, but similar things, just to practice associating melodies & "fills" with the chord shapes. Lately I've been exploring the C-shape, G-shape and E-shape chords that are in the same neighborhood, making up melodies as I go. But I've been using exclusively flat 7s (dominant 7 chords) instead of the Maj 7 ones. I've also been...uh, the best word to use would be "imitating" songs I hear on the Opry show that airs middle of night Saturday (here, anyway). No, I can't play fast enough to play "actual" Bluegrass--with one exception: The "Bluegrass-style" song that you showed us about 5 or 6 weeks ago (I think. It might be longer.) Yeah, I've always wanted to be able to play that style, so I learned your song, and practiced it until I could play it at speed, like you did. Surprisingly, I learned it quickly, and soon was playing all of it with correct rhythm, but slower. I just kept playing it until I could play it faster. I even added a couple of things that I thought it needed. In that song, like most I learn from you, I figured out how to modify it slightly so I could loop around and play (most of) it as many times as I want. Sorta like verses, I guess! Anyway, as I got better at playing it, I modified a few things, mainly adding some new notes. I also changed the way you ended it, I turned it into a "proper" BG ending, where I repeated phrases making small changes as I "circled in for a landing." Maybe I'll record it for ya. Anyway, thanks for another great lesson! I learn a lot from you, and my playing just keeps getting better! 👍👌🤪

Beautiful

A Bigsby? Is this your original guitar Brian on the lesson? Binding more yellowed too. Love it, Love the Lesson. As always Thank You sir.

I enjoyed the video of you going to get that guitar.

Very, very good demo. Again! Don’t need the left hand gesturing while we are so zeroed in on it though. Thank you.

Love the new 335

Really nice guitar does it have the PAF Humbuckers it sounds great , just love these lessons , they really sink it , thanks Brian

A ha...there she is YOUR ES335....good for man good onya.

I can see Elie may swimming by the cement pond

Sensacional

That B Dim7 in this arrangement is so cool! Is that considered an embellishment, and if so, how about a lesson on more of those?

awesome lesson on 125 chord progression to play arpeggio solo:)

335 sounds great!

Fantastic playing and guitar! Can I ask what amp you're using? Keep up the good work

Hi great thanks, could you do something similar, with no bar cords,haven't mastered them yet,dont think i ever will.

Hello, I’ve been playing guitar for 2 weeks now. I wanted to ask if u can recommend me a plan how I should practice. I have now learned the basic accords and can play a bit “Hey Joe by Hendrix” Could u give me please a tip how I can best use the 1 hour a day ?? Because sometimes it feels like iam playing around and it has no real use. Thanks 🙏🏻

What amp do you use Brian ?

Beautiful. '61 Cherry red sounding awesome, Brian. Love the composition.

Look. No belt buckle!

Can I have your old one?
