The blues puzzle pieces (scales, licks, chords, timing and melody) are all starting to fit together. These lessons using your own guitar as the backing track are by far the best I’ve ever come across. I also love how encouraging you are to those of all different skill levels. You have a very unique teaching style, and personable approach that make guitar lessons feel less like a chore. I can also see the passion you have for people. What a wonderful gift. Thank you very much, and God bless you.

Just found this channel 3 days ago, & I've already learned more than I did in the last 20 years. Best explanation of how to do fills that I've ever seen. Now if my fingers were long enough to do the shuffle I'd be cooking.

Brilliant lesson, Brian. At first, one gets the impression that this is a beginner's lesson, but the connection between patterns and chord-shapes is always very useful. And this is so much fun to play. Thanks!

Brian, absolutely one of your best lessons. I've been playing for over 60 years, self taught, and know many of the things you teach but I learn something new every time. I really didn't know what I was doing or why things worked they just sounded good. Your lessons bring clarity to this old rocker. Thank you so much.

For me whilst I fully know the E shape and A shape 1, 4, 5 I did need reminding of the in between G and C shapes and now am practicing this for a while to drum it home. These chords should just come naturally especially when improvising but I can honestly say they wouldn't have for those shapes before this. I would have had to really think them out. All of these small muscle memory tricks or go to's make a huge difference.

Subscriber for yrs however I just stumbled on this one I missed months ago It Dec 2021. This video is proof of your,unstoppable dedication, to unlocking the frustration of the beginner and intermediate player. I'm always influx between the beginner and intermediate player, and that is ok been this way since 1998, when I started guitar. But just following this video your teaching passion just comes out, you keep things simple for the beginner, you speak a little quicker to show the intermediate player application, but you move fast so you don't lose the beginner. Amazing ! And you do this EVERY Week for over ten years...it's really " incredible" and I Thank You Each lesson ,when ever I discover it, it's a gold mine of guitar info.
