    You make it fun to learn, I have taught myself to play and you put it right to the point, very understandable and not hung up or repeating yourself. Watching your lessons and what I've learned it sounds like I've had years of practice. Ok I'll stop rambling, in short thanks for what your doing it has made playing guitar so much more fun!!!!

    Many thanks Brian for this lesson. I have long been a fan of Cropper and this lesson allows me to at least approach his style with some confidence. Great, great lesson. Thanks for your work and patience.

    Cropper is a truly great player, and deserves serious props-but he didn't invent playing little 3 note inversions up the neck. He has his own very tasty style,and timing,but loads of players worked with such ideas. Dig deeper into R&B/soul/blues roots

    Intervals and three note chords sound best in a lot of musical situations. As you say, you don't conflict with the bass player. Also, you can melodically embellish intervals and three note chords but you can't do it with most four note chords because all of your fingers are "tied-up"!

    @ 9 mins, that D9 should be an 'auto-grip' - middle finger on the 5th string, 5th fret, index on the 4th string, 4th fret, and ring finger bars the top three at the 5th...completely moveable, AND, add your pinky at the 7th fret on the 1st or high E string voila! its a D13, again, completely moveable....if you fret the 6th string @ the 5th. with your middle finger, muting the 5th string, you have A min 6 ...add the pinky at 7th and its A min 9...
