Brian consistently writes music weekly that amazes me, Active Melody members get PDFs, on screen tab videos and everything else a person can learn to become a guitarist and explains it. Excellent teacher at a very good price. You want to learn. Stick around
It’s a fantastic deal! I’m 98 and a half years old and by golly watching Brian was when I first finally started “getting it”!
I get a kick out of it when you say things like "hopefully a light just went on for someone out there" - that light is usually coming on for me and things are starting to make more sense. Great teaching. Thanks
I’m here for these explanations that come along with a song. Thank you so much please don’t change a thing despite the minority that complains about it
I love these “So you play guitar? Play something for us,” songs! Another “must learn” for me! Thanks Brian!
Can’t get enough of these solo blues pieces.
Man,that J45 sounded incredible…great tone and so clear
Best blues lesson vdo i've ever seen. 💚🎸🙌
I have been waiting for a teacher that spoke my musical language. hope to have membership money soon, but you play all the elements of everything I love about Jerry Garcia. his bluegrass blues and country sensibilities. great stuff.
Get that membership! The online tools are great and as you know, the lessons can’t be beat!
dude id freak out if he did some more jerry lessons
@@user-kc7kj6vr1u it's all there. at least my faves, like Jack a Row, shady grove stuff, and his bluegrass feel from his roots working mans, etc... if you want Jerry song lessons. check out Toby & Davy. you don't get the why. but he has the proper fingering.
9😅 0:22 0:23 0:25 so 😅😅😅😅😊
There are all kinds of blues nuggets in this.
Really enjoy your teaching style, especially how you smoothly integrate intermediate level harmony and melody theory, as it applies to the structure and context of the tune👍. This old Mississippi blues style lesson really hooked me.
Love these Acoustic Blues Play it by yourself stuff! And this one will be a fine example. Great for playing around, and astonishing your friends, (as well as yourself).
Can't wait to get at that last Run you did near the end of the lesson. Tastey!
Love these stand alone, acoustic compositions. Thanks Brian!
Brian, as always great lesson. I'm picking up so much. I love these play by yourself lessons, but really, i get something out of all your videos.
The first three chord progression reminds me of The Beatles' Till There Was You
These play-by-yourself lessons are my favorite.
Your the perfect teacher for “failure to launch” guitar player like me. Learned the pentatonic major and minor scales with the blues note, some triads (E,A&D), hybrid picking and still can’t bring it all together. Your videos are making a difference. Thanks!

Just learned EP 336. This is the right one to follow up. I love these kind of lessons!
Thanks Brian, absolutely love the Blues by yourself lessons. Watched it through to get my head around it. Now over to the premium site to learn it today. I really appreciate how easily you explain the theory and connectedness. Makes so much difference.
Thanks as always 🙏👍
Thank you! Nice little blues to impovise with and I picked up a couple of licks.
This is just so much fun, thanks so much for posting this. I love learning new guitar pieces that interchange rhythm/chords with lead licks, and this had some real gems in both the licks and the chord tricks (that B7 for example). Love it
Everything is coming together love it thanks
As always, I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for very clear explanations of what you’re doing and more importantly..why. Super helpful! Thanks man!
Awesome stuff again. Another one in my liked videos. Its over one hundred now. My playing has improved massively since joining active melody. Thanks very much.
Cool...very cool indeed
Great lesson!
Brian showing up every time with the coolest guitar anyone's ever seen and then playing/showing the tastiest licks with cool timing 😗🤌
Really useful session, thank you.
My god ! I'll need a full week to process all the tricks explained here. Thank you so much. Bart the Belgian
love your use of gospel changes; they are great! and your musical explanation (secondary 5ths)
Mind reader. I was just wanting more lessons like 336. Thanks.
Enjoyed this blues lesson
Thanks ❤
Another good job Brian.
I like your idea with creating a tension intro ☺️.
That was nice. Thanks Brian.
Great lesson. Friends in low places.😎
haha - you got it!
@@activemelody seriously. I wish you could teach me ??? Respectively

Friends in Low Places intro. I love, love, love this lesson because I'm wanting to add more blues to my show. Thanks!!
Excellent lesson as always, especially the song intro breakdown! ✨💕
great lesson
Amazing
I love this, thanks Brian. Always amazes me how you play stuff with a flatpick I can only get close to using finger picking, sound wise (dynamics, clarity). Will be diving into it with a pick - Mark
Excellent video
awesome insight on the blues:)
Great; looking forward to part 2; comments to follow . . . .
Nice.
Brilliant. Diolch.
Noce sounding guitar good pickin
I been listening/watching you for about 3 years now, and in those 3 learned more from you then the previous 20 (plateaued) years prior. But probably most importantly, is instead of memorizing entire scales from the high E to low E, learn to memorize the scales around their respective major and minor chords.
If you can do this, it really does make everything else like nuance and dynamics fall into place much faster.
Anyway, i just wanna say that
over the years you have made the guitar feel less like homework, and more of something I want to do and am extremely passionate about. Everyday I can’t wait to pick it up. So thank you for that 🫶
🙏

Really enjoy these standalone/solo pieces. I also appreciate the advice 'don't get too mathematical about it...' regarding timing - just make sure you hit the crucial note at the right point. Often I will try and get my playing identical to yours (as a challenge as much as anything), but I think it's just as important to be able to loosen up and apply the 'feel' to improvised pieces of my own.
Quanta musica. Molto bene
Louis Armstrong: "What a Wonderful World".
Yes!
Sweet J45
Great sound really enjoyed it. I am wondering what the basic structure is. If I am counting correctly I hear 20 measures. So it's not an eight bar blues or a 12 bar blues or 16 bar jazz piece?
Sounds like, Friends in low places.
Thanks for another great lesson. May I ask what gauge strings you use to do all these bends? I’m using Martin flexible core lights
Always 12 gauge on acoustic for me (D’Addario)
I dream of the day I can just sit and make up music and it sounds good. I can memorize the stuff on utube but I want the music to just be created on the fly. At 67 years old, I doubt I’ll ever get there.
I feel the same way. Even if it never comes its nice having our wood friends around. Playing someone else's stuff or just trying to noodle around is good fun.
I'm 72 with the same goal; we can at least be much better players than we are now so just forge ahead
❤
Yet another excellent work of Mr. Brian. Great composition. Thank you ! Other way around, I have long time unsolved mistery linked to EP288 viz: what amplifier did you use for that record ? Thank you in advance.
Man I have no idea! If any amp back then probably a Fender Blues Jr
@@activemelody Never mind . It's one of the sound I'm looking for and ... still looking. Thank you again and keep going.

The comment I was looking for 😂
Fun
Thank you for my next exercise. What is that microphone you are recording with?
Ear Trumpet Labs - Edwina
I'm sure you have friends there as well;)
Great piece. Nice to switch it up to the acoustic once in a while. Pretty easy to learn and play so far. We’ll see how the second half goes…Nice haircut😂
hah - thanks! :)
Hi Brian, that's what we do, just steal it! Wow, is that the way it is in Nashville?
That’s what everyone does when you learn a lick from someone.
@@activemelodyjust messing with you. Good lesson and have a wonderful weekend. Peace Brian.
I’ve got friends in Low Places
Garth Brooks song.
I have Friends in Low Places ;-)
I'm getting Whispering Grass, the Ink Spots??
Got that song stuck in my head now! Not complaining; what a wonderful record!

Garth Brooks???
I showed up in boots…….
Спасибл из россии!
Holy Crap, You challenged us to name the song that has that same Introduction. It is on the tip of mine tongue, but i just can't bring it out. What is that?! I know it, ughh.
Eric Clapton - nobody knows you when you're down and out ?.
Maybe ?
Friends in low places 🤪
I don't have the people skills for this. 8 1/2 minutes in and I'm waiting for something I can use. It's like escaping from Shawshank.
No idea what you’re talking about
you could always use the scrubber to skip forward then. that's what they make that thing for
"Patience" must have auto-corrected to "people skills" and the commentor is either too lazy to correct it or too dense to recognize it.

What are you on about?
Great lesson!
Nice.
