Absolutely amazing !!!! - Good bang for the buck. Worth every penny and a lot more. I quickly reviewed the course this evening and Brian has it jam packed. There was obviously hours of work put into this professional production.

Cheers

Well, I played guitar and started at the age of 12. I kept playing along with those wonderful big hair days of the 80’s. Yes I thought the cover of “Look what the cat dragged in” had the hottest chicks. LOL Until my good freind pointed out that they were guys. lol Although CC Devil was not my idol, I looked up to players like, Eddie, Jimmy Page, Randy Rhoads, and believe it or not The Edge. Yup metal was my thing until I learned what a girl can do to a guy. So I quit fingering the fret board and moved on to other lifes pleasures.
I did play the guitar every once in a while though.

20 yrs later I got laid off of work and decided to pull out the guitars from the closet and see whats going on. The best part is that I got re-bit by the bug and now can enjoy my playing with my wife and kids. Although the BC RIch Warlock is still part of my collection, I use a Fender Strat Deluxe, and I also have Ibanez RG-Series <————(Not my Favorite). My 6 year old is learning to play that one. Other than that Blues is what I have been playing a lot of in order to get back my skills and speed. I am happy that its catching on quickly. I love to play with the RC-300 loopstation I have and also my Boss DD-3. I have a DOD distortion pedal and thinking of adding a Boss Auto Wah to the collection. I just found this site and hope to get to learn alot from people on the site.

Thanks!

Joined this week thought Id be one of the oldies at 63. Started playing in the sixties and after five years packed my guitar away in the loft and didnt play again for 25 years, dont know why. Anyway we moved to New Zealand back in 96 about the time I started to get into
the blues. Inspired by listening to the likes of Albert King and BB King in particular I dusted off my old guitar bought some tutorials and practiced at every opportunity constantly trying to emulate my new found heroes.Back in the sixties I was a huge fan of Fleetwood Mac featuring Peter Green what a soulfull magic man he was. Not the most gifted technically but definately the best for touch,feel and dynamics, in my opinion one of the true great blues guitarists and he could sing too what a great voice. These days I practice in the spare room guitar in hand backing tracks on doing my best to get somewhere near to the great mans sound, ofcourse I will never really nail it but I have a lot of fun trying and it sounds half decent to the untrained ear. Love your Albert king solo just nailed it thanks to you. Sounds nice on my Custom. Looking forward to improving, best site I have come accross.

I have started learning guitar about 5 years ago out of my admiration of the sounds that can be produced by competent musicians Unfortunately, what I did not know at the time is the dedication needed to succeed. I love the blues, specially slow blues and blues rock a la Clapton. I have purchased the Blues Lead Guitar course and I like it because I believe it has quite a bit of Eric Clapton’s style in it. And it gives you some simplified boxes and how to link them across the neck. I play a strat (modified from a Mexican one) into a Laney Cub 10 tube amp.

The Blues Lead Course is Excellent!

I’ve been working on the blues lead course on and off since it came out and it really cleared a lot of things up for me, especially about the different positions of scales on the fretboard and how they can all be connected together. Brian has a a gift for explaining things in a common sense way. Lots of great licks too! Brian, I appreciate your hard work on this, and all the great free stuff you provide also.

Hey there guys and gals ... I’m seeing tons of posts from all over the world, so I figured I’d add to the pile.

I’m retired and moved here from Ontario (I married a Newfie girl and brought her home).

I kinda got back into playing after my dad passed a couple of years ago. Using some of my inheritance I went out and bought an Epiphone Wildkat and amp. It’s a beautiful piece ... made for blues and jazz.

From there I went a little foolish and added an American Strat with Texas pickups, and a 60’s Tribute Les Paul ... along with a Fender Blues Deluxe amp.

Also, I have an early ‘70s Ovation Electric Legend.

I have 2 PA’s ... the smaller one is used for monitors, and of course the bigger one for up front ...

Anyway, that’s me ... other than that I love the Blues, have come a long way since I got into it, and look forward to learning more with this course.

Take care everyone.

Nice chattin’ ...

Equipment (amps) used in demo’s

2011-10-04T09:28:41-06:00

In the Albert King Blues Guitar Lesson, I know the guitar is a Gibson ES 335, or at least it looks like one, but what kind of amp is used? And what are the settings? Sounds cool! Thanks, Ken
