Thank you for these „triad lessons“ - the „great picture“ becomes clearer and clearer for me, how to connect chords and create a melody composition. The basis of every improvisation is the knowledge of how music really works, and it has nothing to do with being a „gifted“ human - that’s what I realized, when I watch your lessons - everyone could be a great guitarist, if he’s collecting knowledge and spending countless hours of practice time 😊 - Thank you for this cognition
Your the best teacher on UA-cam 😁👍👏
This was a great lesson that I truly learned from and enjoyed doing so. Great great lesson
A great lesson with many breakthrough moments. I especially appreciate the bonus video. More of that Brian please .
That resonator guitar sounded so sweet....Awesome demonstration!
That guitar is on my acquisition list. Your UA-cam channel is awesome and Active Melody is a great learning tool for me. My wife got me an annual subscription last year with auto renewal permission! 👍
What is this guitar he is playing? It is gorgeous!
@@travissinquefield187i agree. It is beautiful. What is it called?
@@kevinrich5312it’s a tricone resonator guitar. Likely a national clone
Thank you
@@travissinquefield187It's a National Reso-Phonic Tricone Style 2. I have a National Reso-Phonic Tricone Vintage Steel. Great guitars for bottleneck slide guitar technique! Check out Bob Brozman. He was an absolute master on these guitars!
Awesome lesson, huge takeaways! Thanks Brian.
HAPPY TUNE! I love it!! Thanks for the new project.
Great lesson Brian!! I love those "take aways" that you highlight. Tks!
Beautiful resonator there!!
I like it, I like it a lot! Great style on this one. Real class. Well done mate.
You just get better and better.
Really nice melody, I can’t wait til I get it under my finger!
Impressive great lesson! There are some hidden lessons in this one, Brian. Secondary dominant and chromatic playing. One of the best lessons I’ve seen.
Speaking of licks Brian, you play them over and over in your lessons so how could we forget.
Sometimes labeling these chords can be hard but I see why it's a D but it's in the E or B area.
Which is, of course, the point
@@someoneelse6934 what is with you?
@@douglaschristine8387 not too much, thanks for asking. I did have a bad hair day yesterday, but that’s all sorted out now. Hope you are well.
Great lesson 👍 You enjoyed that Brian ,you were in your zone 😊
Love your lessons! Thank you
another awesome lesson , thank you Brian for light bulb moments:)
Thanks for the lesson played on a tricone. I bought a National tricone years ago around the time the dvd Lightening In A Bottle came out. I wanted to play some Delta Blues slide but the dang thing felt like it weighed a ton, more than any Les Paul I have ever played. I bought a Humbucker pickup and never installed it. You have me thinking about playing it again. Thanks.
1st time I have seen you use a resonator Brian, very cool!
Nice=lovely playing, seem to have taken your own great advice adding those slidey licks from last week blending them into those triads=wonderful sound n lovely composition Brian
Would you consider doing a video on the how and why of turnarounds? There must be about a bunch of these things out there, including some considered standards.
Ok 👍
Very fluid and cool.
Hi Brian, great lesson, I also have been trying some triad sequences but can’t seem to make then flow. Cheers John Adelaide Australia
Another light bulb 💡 moment for me Brian with the 2-5-1 using the E7 shape then sliding up like a diminished 🤯🤯🤯
Great lesson, thanks
Great video. Helpful with working on chromatic passing tones.
I love it .thank you brian
Love it, a lot of neat tricks here to represent chords in different ways, the chromatic runs remind me that 'there are no wrong notes', if i hit a wrong note while playing then I just slide up or down, and it fixes it a lot of the time. Looking forward to going left down the circle of fifths. Guitar players are happiest with the right side of the circle, which matches the open strings, why would you venture to the Eb side? apart from working with other instruments like piano?
Thank you Brian..
That guitar is so cool
You are a great teacher Brian. I have been learning triads because as I get older I can’t grip full chords. This lesson was a bit too much for me. A lot of the time I play with a pal who plays open chords G,C,Am etc and sings. Do you have a simple lesson showing how to play triad solos over non blues chord structure.
Briljant Brian...
Great lesson! Is your guitar an historic reissue or vintage? I'm in the market for something like this.
It’s a 2014 model I bought from someone on EBay several years ago. Had to do a neck set on it though.. the action was crazy high. It’s perfect now
How about doing a video on Jimmie Rogers, the Father of Country Music, teaching the bass runs that he would use throughout a tune. He would play these runs almost anywhere in a tune.These are a staple of C&W and Bluegrass for almost 100 years.
Brian,
Some really cool licks in this lesson. One question, at the end if the video, you did a slidey lick then combined CAGED pattern 1 &2. I learned CAGED by its letters, I think pattern 1 is the G pattern and pattern 2 is the E pattern. But the E comes after the G but it looks like you put it before the G pattern. Have I understood that right? I knew the patterns were moveable, like a conveyor belt, I didn't know you could play them out of order??? Or am I confused?
@@donaldsmith4249 when I say Pattern 1, I’m referring to the E shape - that’s how I learned it, I’m trying to just say the shape name and not the pattern number to avoid confusion.
i wish we would get back to the blues like 12 bar blueeeeeeee .. i bet you could realy show us
What gauge strings do you have on your National Resophonic Tricone Style 2 guitar Brain? When playing bottleneck on this guitar a lot of characteristic tonality will open to you! Check out Bob Brozman by the way!
What is the chord progression.
Explained in the video.
In the very first lick, why he goes to the 5th fret on the b string is glossed over. Not explained. It’s a E note, not a note in the G triad.
That note is in the G major scale tho. E is the 6th note in G major. He's creating licks based around the triad .
Well it's a note in g pentatonic which he mentions. So that explains it
