    All my friends keep asking how I have gotten so much better at the guitar in just a month. I tell them I have found a UA-cam “guru.”
    Your lessons are the best content anywhere on the interwebs. Keep it up!

    Hands down the best teacher on UA-cam and can't tell you how much my playing sounds better to me ...I listened and played Metal and Rock but Brian's teaching has changed my musical outlook 👏🙏👏

    Brilliant follow-on to the triads lesson. Brian explains here precisely what became so evident to me with the that last lesson, that within a group of simple (and movebale) chord shapes of a simple progression you have all your melody notes under your fingers. I have seen no-one else teach in Brian's style, how is that? Either they fundamentally cannot teach (the vast majority I suspect) or they're happy for you to be an eternal frustrated intermdediate with no deep understanding nor ability to improvise.

    The lesson is understandable, but still hard to incorporate into impovisation. I really can't imagine how someone could instantly visualize all chords in progression in advance to choose correct notes, especially when it comes to complex chords like 7th, augmented etc. Jazz musicians are geniuses. Some day I will too I hope :)

I know ppl say you talk too much but I think it’s as valuable knowing how to think about what you’re playing rather than just showing the notes. I make that a focus with my little channel too.

      tried 11 gauge pyramid flats on roasted swamp ash bubinga tele....tone was more rounded with less tele bite and snap with the 4 wound strings. Nice for jazz. Now settled on 11’s rollerwound GHS....less finger noise with renewed fresh tele tone all across.

    Sooo sad! He can't help himself from chasing tangents. It takes him 10 minutes to deliver 30 seconds of information. The 30 seconds are really good, but not worth paying for his premium even if he avoids the 9.5 minutes of comedy
