This is one of the most important lessons that explains so clearly how to play around the chords and create the big sound we all want. You have the ability to teach the guitar in a very comprehensive way. You remind me of a calculus teacher I had that was able to make complex topics easy to understand. There is no one better at teaching guitar than you.
I will say it again on the surface some may say oh that's not that hard to play. But try to play it as well and as cleanly as Brian and you quickly learn it takes alot of skill to play as clean as Brian does. These lessons are filled with great ideas for licks, chord shapes, chromatic movements, bends and melody. Great stuff
🎸👍🤠
Agreed.
Staying in major scales is freaking hard after you’ve spent years playing blues minor stuff
keep up the twangy country. I love it.
Dude... I'm 53yo and been playing the same boring three chord classic country on an acoustic my whole life... I just bought a Squier Classic Vibe 60's and this video right here is gonna get me on my glorious & fun journey to playing more complex things... But not TOO complex! 😂 Thx for all you've posted over the years, dude. I appreciatcha... 👍
I've just bought a squire affinity tele after like 25 yrs thinking about it lol, I love it. Ive had an epiphone 335 all that time and hardly touched it. Should have bought the tele years ago, they're so comfortable to play arnt they.
Man, Brian, that is some tasty playin'! Since I've been watching your videos, you have helped me connect so many dots! Your instruction is the best out there. Thank you!
💯‼👊😎
Totally agree
Learnt it and nailed it. If Brian made this a song and it would be a chart topper! Best is Brian!!!
Linking the caged system, triads, knowing the actual notes with the scales ie pentatonic major or minor… that is connecting the dots !!! Thank you
Thank God for Brian...so us mere mortals can learn something🙏💚
"Hopefully you've picked up a little bit..."
I've picked up a lot.
Your lessons are really helping me to connect the dots and are well edited. When I wake up Saturday (in The Netherlands) there is a new great lesson waiting for me.
You make it easy 😉
Wow! One of the best you've ever done Brian! Simple enough for me to play and complex enough to be interesting. Perfect! 🎸 🤘
Well said!! Great lesson
I really enjoyed that one! Great to have the explanations at where it all comes from!
This lesson is GOLD! ....So many great embellishments!
Sweet! I'll be spending time with this lesson! Thank you.
Very nice Brian.. would like to see s, more traditional country
That's exactly Chetty's style🤠🎸😇. I love the steel pedal licks all over the neck and useful embellishments. Great ending 😄🤠🎸.
Your lessons just keep getting better and better, Brian! The intro was right on, fantastic lesson - I learn so much just from watching you explain stuff. 🤠👍💕
Me too jola
A gold mine here. Great instruction, to boot.
Good stuff! Probably the most unusual tele I've ever seen with a P90 and a bucker.
You Nashville cats, play clean as country water. Thanks Brian 😊
This is amazing - lightbulbs going off like the Met gala! You get so much out of basic theory, and helps so much to point out all the ways these licks fit into chords and CAGED. How to do a lot with a little. Brilliant.
Awesome sounds 👍👍
Classy, a fully fledged country arrangement that sounds irresistible. Gotta learn it. Challenging, yes! but in a hungry way, it’s a winner. 👏
One of your best vids yet! Thanks Brian for so much help over the years.
What an amazingly clear, fun and accessible lesson! Thank you!
Love the country stuff Brian. You explain music well 🤠🇦🇺
WONDERFUL! Thank you. Exactly what I needed to connect the licks to the chords.
Dude, these lessons are just plain fun ! thank you, much appreciated !
Your a brilliant musician and teacher. I tried one of your lessons years ago when i was first learning guitar, it was on robert johnson country blues acoustic. I was way over my head when i was trying it, but i am glad i found it when i did. Some of those riffs are the bedrock for my acoustic playing now. Country blues is the best!
My hats off to you on this one. Old country Bryan. Your a teacher.
Superb lessons, and this one is fab. Thanks Brian .
A very good approach with definition and function.
Been doing this for forty years.
Thank you for the post.
What a great lesson. Nice arrangement with slick bends.
That’s a wicked lesson!!! Thank you!
'Active Melody', yess! finally, you've come around again; I had forgotten the name, but now it's burned in
Such a thing of beauty!
Lotta Jerry Garcia sounding licks in here. The intro to "Tennessee Jed" comes to mind . Great lesson Brian!
Heartache by the numbers is what I hear in this. Love it brian!
Sounds like: "You're still on my mind..." Fun playing. Thanks.!
That explanation of how the pedal steel lick comes from the pentatonic scale is awesome, I never made that connection, I always had to sound it out to know where the right spot to play it was.
So Very Cool, Thankyou. Sorry to be commenting so late on this Video but it is The Most effective and inspirational Lesson I have ever had. Man, I am having so Much fun trying to 'master' it, but even if it gets a bit beyond me it leads me into solo's etc that to me are amazing, hahaha. Interestingly when I started playing/practicing this Lesson on a Tele it all Changed so much for the better although was awesome on other guitars too, of course. Thankyou so much. All the Best. Cheers from Australia
Very nice! It really reminds me of Buck Owens and Don Rich playing 'Foolin around' with Tom Brumley's Steel playing. Love this style.
Excellent presentation, way to connect the dots for us. This helps me and probably many others . Thanks for sharing this, you are a great Player.
Great teaching method love the tabs.Excellent playing.
Great lesson! I love those pedal steel bends. 👍
This is a very good lesson! So much theory that can be used and it sounds great. It's easy to instantly apply to your playing.
A great demo, Brian, ticks off a lot of country boxes. Excellent breakdown on pedal steel pushes. Most importantly, shows the usefulness of using chord changes as landing zones when playing leads. If players absorb that one concept, they'll progress quickly.
Does this lesson ever bring back some dusty memories of the early to mid 1960's! buck Owens etc. Those Steel Licks, back when Country was really Country.
All that Moldy Oldy, Moaner Groaner stuff. Porter Wagoner wearing their rhinestone and Sequin covered coats jackets and Shirts. Ernest Tubb, anyone else remember that guy?
But, a great lesson here bending some Strings to get that Sound.
Don't know how I missed this one!! Awesome
Its an excellent lesson that has theory and everything else in it
Essential stuff for me.
You're a rockstar for this tutorial sir !!! Thank you
This lesson is gold
Many Thanks, much appreciated!
This dude has all the cool licks 😀👍
Hey Brian, great stuff!👍😊🎸
My next one to learn, really sounds good, a lot of material, and licks , for my bag.
Another excellent Lesson, Brian!
Your playing is amazing!
I just now happened upon this channel and within seconds of hearing the intro I hit the subscribe button. Super tasteful phrasing, note choice, articulation, and nice guitar tone too. I'm a rock, blues, metal, reggae, punk, guitar player who has relocated to a region where country is king and if I was going to play here, it was gonna have to be country. Ive managed to get by for a year now mixing the country chops I've learned with my usual style as I've been exploring country guitar and I can see this channel will be most helpful in that capacity. Thanks.
Yeah, but it's not. "country channel."
This is just one example of the music he teaches.
Thank you great Riffs !!!!
I haven't come across any tutor who explains so clearly the theory of guitar?Namaste from नेपाल (Nepal).
Thanks Brian! Amazing
Weeks ago I was strucked by Andy wood (and E.J. licks!) then Brent Manson and eventually searching for a tutorial I came across one of yours (6 years back) and this one today morning traveling on the bus! You are the best sharing some tricky licks
That killer one I am going to swap the daily guitar for the strat hoping I am not getting tendininoitis (I just tried I am 63 y.o.) my elbow starts aching rigth now... going to stop and find the right gauge/guitar suit for this tough style (I knew other country licks fro the past) and used to play lot of blues but I want to play country either from now on
I am so grateful to you thank god I found your channel ❤🎸🍀
as far as pain goes, an athletic 'burn' is ok, but the instant it gets sharp and kind of sickening STOP...put it away for a day and warm up first
Very good instructor.
This guy is so good.
Bought a Tele recently, and I'm feeling like learning something different (country guitar). This is a very useful video, full of tasty phrasing for musicians of any level. Amazing work there, Brian. Thanks a lot.
Wonderful lesson...thank you so much!
Excellent lesson...as usual par excellence 👍👌🙏
Well done...Great lessons!
Wonderfull , thank you, for this lesión.
Yes! This!! Can't wait to try this on my Tele at home. 00
Some mighty fine country lead guitar playing Brian. Sweet Steel guitar-like bends.
Man this is so good of lesson . I just cant believe that i have been doing some of this for a long time
Thanks Guy
Brian, I thoroughly enjoyed EP462 and learning the pedal steel licks. Never knew those type licks existed on guitar.
Thanks as always enjoy the lessons
I am so glad that I am a premium member. We’ve just had a baby, so unfortunately I haven’t been able to play for a month or two, but excited to learn this as soon as I can! Great lessons as always Brian. X
Great lesson. I really like your way of playing country (on this and other vids of yours).
Nice concepts, well explained. Thanks.
I came for a guitar lesson, but i'd almost rather just hear you play!
Bravo
Mr Brian! Thank'U
Great lesson!
Holy smokes this is a good one!
As usual strong difficult enough to get stronger better,and sounding very cool, in a word super.
I wish you will keep going on.
Thanks for your work..from Switzerland
Thanks for a great lesson !
Lovely 😍
Awsome playing 👏
Excellent lesson!
great lesson!! love it.
The other interesting aspect of what Brian does is you can approach multiple ways. You can try to learn it note for note with the exact fingerings he uses or you can take the concepts and use it to improvise to the track in the spirit of what he is doing so it's player choice. I tend to do both try to learn it note for note but then also stray and play it different ways
Love this !
He is a genius
Soo good and fun!
Nice! Liking the p90 for the bridge pickup in a Tele
Great stuff, Brian👊
Me encanta 👏👏👏👏👏
Damn, that was neat.
Thanks very informative
7ns and 9nrs very cool !!!!
Ah, good old beer drinking music. Thank you.
Yea Brian!!
Mary Ann

That what I want to play!!!!
