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.
I like that this comment was a year ago and this video has hundreds of thousands of hits and more. lol keep it up your teaching me everything I know man.
AMAZING lesson!! Great rhythm! Thanks Brian. Your virtuosity with these lessons never ceases to amaze me. Please, more funk rhythm lessons. This is so much fun to play. And surprisingly simple. How often does that happen??
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"!
how do you creat this christal clear sound on an humbucked guitar without amplifing the twang ??? please tell me that secret! it sounds like an accoustic but i am not able to come near this sound at all......:O(
@ 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...
@@activemelody ive been through in so many pattern on scale but one thing i found out is the spacing and interval viewing some video in this channel good night thanks
Ya, lets try to figure out who invented triads. Dig deeper into stax/soul/Memphis and stop trying to impress other people with your little "suggestions" to study up as much as you have.
9 minutes and 49 seconds into this lesson and all I heard was talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk

Thanks for sharing you talent with us. It is a good lesson obviously properly delivered for a catch by even a beginner or any other amateur player.

Great lesson. I never realized he only used the high strings. These guys were genius.
these activemelody video's are great, I bet you end up going to hundreds of thousands of hits and more!
This vid exemplifies what UA-cam is all about. Great contribution, man
Hum I have been playing guitar for ages and I never thought of the analogy between the horn section and funk chords syncopated...thanks:)
Great Great rhythm and blues King Cropper Tips! Loved the video! Perfect!
What the heck is wrong with the thumbs down on this? This is great thanks buddy. It's so cool to play!
@crimsondynamoo - haha yeah I should have used the Tele on this one. I usually just grab whatever guitar is closest.
Many thanks, I will enjoy trying to learn this

Nice .
Where's the Tele?
@JohnnyFriendly Thanks brotha :)
THAT WAS COOL SOUNDS TRY IT LATER
i have that same guitar except mines from the 70's its great to play aint it
I would kill for that guitar :)
I like the sound on this lesson, but I'm not sure that it really epitomizes Steve Cropper's style.
Not really, Steve's riffs are much more simple
sweeeet axe, man.....
how do you creat this christal clear sound on an humbucked guitar without amplifing the twang ??? please tell me that secret!
it sounds like an accoustic but i am not able to come near this sound at all......:O(
The Blues Brothers also!!!! Need a fender for this…
STEVE CROPPER INVENTED A "SOUND".
Cool
where's yer tele?
I played this way at church,

@almann1979 Thanks man :)
Steve didn't invent that style ..it came from the black gospel guitarist in Memphis he was listening to.
OOOHHHH MAN 12 YEARS AFTER
🤣
@@activemelody ive been through in so many pattern on scale but one thing i found out is the spacing and interval viewing some video in this channel good night thanks
What model of Gibson is this guitar? Thanks!
I believe it's a 335 :)
Cool, I saw one today at the music store was 3000$.
3000$, hey is that good value ? here in the uk it's probably about £2000?
es-355? maybe 335 idk
skills that kils :D
Love the AX ES335 doesn't matter ifN no Tele...just play it dammit!!
Really well played by you but would disagree as to the genesis of the style.
If I didn't see the video I would say that this voice belongs to Eric Forman ;)
for some damb reason this vidio wont play throu fo me
steve crapper :)

Tabsss
You dont sound like Steve. And steve used a Telecaster.
try spell check too
thumbs up but you talk tooooo much!
The video could have been done in 5 minutes if you practiced your dialogue before recording it.
This video was 8 years ago. I've learned a lot since then. Making instructional videos takes some time to get down.
Thanks man :)
9 minutes and 49 seconds into this lesson and all I heard was talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk
You talk too much. Show us more, talk less.
