My guitar vocabulary get bigger every time I se one of your lesson. Thanks for these 💡.
I absolutely second that 👏
I could not agree more!😀
Cheers from Indonesia.
My repertoire has increased because of you. You have enable me to see and play music and apply my new skills. Thank you.
Yes! A lesson I've been waiting for! Just brilliant! In fact, I like these mini lessons a lot; one concept - no tabs - just play along with the teacher and learn instantly. Awesome! ❤️
I have worked in television production for over 40 years. Your lighting , video and nice less depth of field really has improved the vi quality of your videos. Congratulations
Thank you ! Those are the easy ,mysterious, "lounge room" chords that I consider "bluesy "!
Just found you. You are doing an excellent and clear presentation here. So, I am subscribed, and the bell on "always ring." Thank you. I am a 56 year veteran of guitar but always struggling. Now, I have memory degradation, and I am having to re-learn, partly as therapy.
Great stuff as usual, Stitch and you are the best the internet has to offer for guitar instruction.
brian, appreciate y'alls in depth explanations for "why" chords work and sound good together. keep up the good work
Brian, that was the best lesson for tying in all the parts I’d learnt up till now and making it coherent
In depth but not overpowering
Love the approach thankyou 👍
The Allman Brothers did many covers of T Bone Walker songs...Love the Allman Brothers...I am 64 and they were a huge influence for me as I began my musical journey...Stormy Monday / T Bone Walker...his style of playing lives on...thanks for the lesson Brian...
Thanks Brian..your lessons are pure gold
pls make more rhythm videos, i rlly love your rhythm videos!!
I actually find myself "improvising " like I've never been able to before ! Thanks to your style of instruction ! Thanks!
Brilliant. I'm so glad I joined this site. Thanks again.
Crazy cool sounds of T Bone,thanks for the presentation on this great artist.
This lesson was extremely interesting loved it
Brilliant! I love everything about your lessons.
Wow man what a brilliant, concise free lesson!! So much in this!! Thank you! 🙏
As someone who has been stuck in a rut this lesson is an awesome way to make my rhythm playing more interesting.
Brilliant lesson... I love the blues rhythm sound and great to learn how to play in different positions on the neck.
you nailed it on the T-Bone style once again keeping it simple thank you so much..can walk away with something to work on....
Loving all your tricks and licks. My toolkit is growing all the time!
Love it! Cheers Brian. 👍🏻
I'm a recent subscriber and I love when I find your videos from which I can take a very simple concept and immediately use it so please keep this type of lesson.
Hey Brian, great lesson! would love to see this turned into a no accompaniment lesson with some fill licks thrown in the mix. I'm one of the many subscribers who don't have a band, and stick to the bedroom as my stage. would love to be able to jam in this style by myself. thank you!
I second that emotion!!! Wonderful lesson.
yes that would be great
Is this lesson on Activemelody,com?
Strongly Agree ! Could get lost in this groove. Would LOVE to see this as a weekly lesson. Toss a couple of licks for bonus points?? I'll beg, if it helps.
I also agree - i think it would be beneficial to get a no accompaniment lesson for this with fill licks. It would also be nice to get an idea of the target notes and simple licks, but then expanding on that and getting apreggios and longer licks that actually play for long durations so it in essence turns into a mini solo with the target notes rather then chords, and then can bounce back into the chord structure as fitting. I think this would help people break out of the box and regimented structure of a single arrangement.
It's very good video lesson and you made easy here all its derivatives of each chord pattern in a technique with its structural patterns. Good teaching for me . Thanks Mr.Brian.
Just wanted to say thanks...your techniques come in so handy. Forgot about a lot of these from my earlier day lessons. Great stuff.
Superb lesson, simple and easy but amazing!
I agree more rhythm lessons! Great approach and easy to understand. Thanks
Another brilliant lesson. =)
Man tjis really cool! Love it! Makes me want to see more. Thanks a lot!
Great lesson Brian. You have answered a lot of questions with this one.
Another great lesson Brian
Great stuff and so well explained. Thank You!
Loved it...so good! Thank you
Thanks Brian! 🙏
Ive been trying to play the guitar for years... no one seems to know how to TEACH it including published how to books.... but this video was very simple and to the point... Im already subscribed but I will take a look at some of your previous videos and hopefully I can learn something. Thank you for your generosity. You explained something that MOST people overlook... where do your fingers actual go on the frets... and many guitar "teachers" do NOT explain which strings to play with your right hand... they assume people will already know... This video helped me put some things in perspective... the most confusing part about guitar Ive faced is that there is more than one way to play something.... more than one way to chord, play a scale and even arpeggios etc.
Hi Brian that was a really cool lesson I'm definitely learning that one Cheers
Fantastic lesson...Thank you
Brian, I subscribe to your AM site and love it but I think these shorter videos are easier to learn and play and dare I say it easier to remember over time than the ' deep dive ' vids on the AM site. To each their own but if someone asked me to play something I'd be more likely to play this type of rhythm than the full blown deep dive vids where there is just more to remember. Just my 2 cents. Anyway, love the lesson and look forward to more!
Great, thank you! Love seeing you on that Tele!!!
Man you really open my eyes. thanks.I 😃
A game changer 4 me. No better way 2 illustrate how "less is more".
Great lesson!!!
Dang you’re a good teacher.
Great lesson.
That's awsome, light bulb moment ! Denise
I like your tele! Sounds nice
Great Lesson.
Great Video! Thank you!!
I have to agree 100 percent with lucyandmummy4ever.
I always love your little Videos and even bought a membership on your Web-Site. And you gave me the tools to get a better Blues Man right now :)
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Keep that great work on going, please :)
Awesome!
Nice reference to the original blues guys, their bags of licks, how they re-purposed them, and created their own trademark sounds. It made me think of them as being craftsmen and having their own specialties, similar to tradesmen and women from other walks of life, trying to make a living, doing what they love to do, and doing it their way.
well said. craftsmen with soul :)
Thanks Brian ,
Its all starting to make sense now , definitely a light bulb moment,
Cheers
Wow, man. This is great! Your last few vids have really been kicking it into gear. All of your stuff is good, but it seems like lately you've hit upon a principle I always went by as a teacher and a coach. It's called KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid). A lot of your old videos were really good, but most of them could have been split into about four or five different lessons. I know you wanted to teach whole pieces, but sometimes the parts is where it's at. I wish you'd go back to some of those and maybe even do parts I, II, and III, or whatever. The one finger thing was great, and I really got a lot out of the rockabilly vid. Little things. Triads here and there, sliding chords, one or two new methods/sounds really encourages me.
Thank you ... again.
That was cool. Seems like that tempo would lend itself nicely to some of those diminished chords you were demonstrating a little bit ago
yes, totally interchangeable
Long time listener first time caller... Not sure when it happened but your production values jumped way up. Kudos to your lighting and camera guys - looking sliiiiiick!. 🔥
Thanks! I’ll pass that info on to my camera guy
One KEY takeaway... "don't be bothered about repeating yourself... it just may be your sound!" Gratitude!
Please do 12 bar slow blues with this little tricks slides turnaround etc.
Thank you very much. Im a happy premium member soon going in to the second year
Brian great lesson would be nice if we could get the chords off the website as members so we can practice them when we have time.
A9 over C#? Or maybe a C# m7 flat5. Or a C# diminished. The passing chord sent from heaven 🌵
I had to stop halfway to try it! the 4 and 5 I already do that way a lot of the time, but the 1 shape is great! For a great transition from 1 to 4, play the A, slide up one, play that, then shift all your fingers down one to A diminished, then go to D9... oh man! I love learning new things!
Nice tip 👍
@@activemelody I watched your diminished lesson yesterday so it was ripe in my mind! :) You're a GREAT teacher!
YES!!!!!!
first comment yay and I'll learn this first
Brian where did you get your glasses, those Ice blue rays are killer
I think of that chord as the m7b5 with the root on the 5th string.
Really nice sounds and would love to play them but speed at which it moved was far too fast for me personally to follow (likely perfect for the more skilled players). Wondering if the lesson could have notation or pre-lesson practice items for the older less skilled players to be able to follow (Sorry if it exists and I’ve missed it, I got here based upon one of the other lessons which was Supposed to be tailored to the slower easy blues by yourself, and that lesson was telling me to learn this first so just not sure how to know how far back to go in order to get to slow easy blues by myself skill set?). Thank you for teaching
🎶💡👏👏👏👏
The A9/C# or A9 with C# in the bass contains no A. I guess the explanation is that it's OK to drop the root but I think it might have merited a mention.
like these but would love to have the tab for them as well.
Brian are these YT lessons also on your regular AM site? Premium member but can't find these short videos on the AM site? Great lesson! Thx!
ALSO CAN'T FIND THIS LESSON ON AM SITE, IS IT ONLY ON UA-cam?
Is there a lesson you have or can you do a lesson on fill licks for this style of blues. I’m a solo acoustic player (finger style) and would love to add Stormy Monday to my rep. Combining vocals and fill licks for a lead.
I, too, play primarily acoustic, fingerpicked Delta Blues--mostly John Hurt. I play a vintage Guild D-40 and recently got a Republic Parlor "Rocket UFO" resonator. I have always wanted something like a National, and this little guy is amazing in tone and build quality. But, see my comment above. I am nearly starting over at 74. I have been repairing and building since 1965, but I have never played to the quality of my builds. My 10 years younger brother has made a good living as a bluesman; a combination of some theory and self-taught. My nephew graduated from Berklee with high honors (on-campus) and he is also a gifted guitarist. My brother composed, arranged, played bass, guitar, brass in a band so heavily booked they actually took a 1-2 month vacation from the circuit. Neither brother, nor nephew would even consider building or a significant repair. I guess the Lord handed out His gifts to us as He pleased. I build slope-shouldered dreadnoughts, 6 and 12 string and usually 12 frets to the body and do electrics like an LP Junior, but fully bound and with inlay upgrades. My "brand " is Highway 61[tm] or a pearl replica of the highway sign..(cannot trademark that)
he has quite a few ....maybe not stormy monday per say....but in that vein yes....just click on his channel and check his vids.. good luck
Love the set/room too! You moved house? 😂
different room :)
@@activemelody looks great. 👍🏻
Love the sound of this A9 chord. Definitely a great addition to my blues repertoire. I like to understand how a chord is constructed or related to other chord shapes and I couldn't figure this one out. My chord app reverse lookup told me it was an Em6/C#. Brian said it could also be called a C#m7(b5), which I believe is also called a half-diminished chord. Not helpful. So how does that relate to A? The notes include all the notes for an A9 except. . . the root. I remember reading somewhere that a 9th or a 13th has to include the dominant 7th and the 9th, or 13th and probably the fifth but to make the chord playable other notes have to be omitted - often the 3rd, and sometimes the root. So this is a rootless A9. A9/no A ? Well hope I'm right about that
Basically a rootless A9
@@activemelody Thanks. This chord is very helpful. I use the D9 at 5th fret and E9 above it all the time but didn't have a playable A9 in the same area, so I'd usually just play A7.
This comment should be anchored at the top. I spent 5 minutes trying to find an A in this chord... Great lesson, Brian, as always!
I'm a little confused - isn't that last triad Brian played an e minor?
Could you use this also like you did the A6 to a A9 in lesson 393 ?
Take the 5th string out and yes
Hearing Alot pick slap noise , Is that intentional ?
You're all over the place
EP102 A?
isn't it a diminished chord?
Add chord boxes...can't see what your doing...despite your discriminations...you sound great though 👌
love your stuff but your comment about blues players of old has to be amended, Albert King did not have a small bag of tricks, he had an enormous bag of tricks in chord progression and another enormous bag of soloing tricks, he was a large step above most of his contemporaries, just saying.
This is a really great lesson. I also would like to have the "no band" version also. I'm not likely to start a band anytime soon :)
