In this MicroLesson (ML122), you’ll learn how to play a Blues lead by using chords (Triads) and harmonies and will be doing it all over a stand-alone composition (no jam track needed). Transpose these and play them in any key.

Man that sounds great on the Martin Brian!
I’ve been on a Elmore James kick lately so this is very appreciated. Great stuff, lots of little light bulb moments too.
Wow! What a lesson. Sounds so great and so fun and useful
Just a first class lesson, with a lot of good material to work on, Thanks Brian.
Just started working on the first part and there is a lot of room to play with that slide into the A shape triad to vary it. Looking forward to the rest of this one.
You always get a lot of sound out of little effort. Like the connections from each caged shape. Will have fun playing this. Thanks for another very useful and great sounding lesson.
Is that a 00 Martin ? Sounds tight yet expressive.

There’s a lot to love in this one. I can’t wait to learn it. Thanks Brian
The first photo that popped up had a Pug dog, I think.
So much good information in such a short lesson!
Another Great lesson Brian. You never disappoint. This one will be fun to learn and play.
A huge lesson Brian…short but fundamental. Great job as usual.
Thanks
There is so much in this lesson. Thank you!
That’s a favorite for me!
Its the little things you take time to point out: drone the open D string to make it sound fuller or play the open E string. Your instruction is reflected in the moving tab score. Watching your fingers move with upstrokes and downstrokes really helps lock in the timing. Short lesson but plenty more to go back to. Lesson 588 for example is in an odd time signature. I’ll go back and practice all your lessons in 6/8 time.
Putting that triad walk down from chords A to D in my bag of licks!!!
I really like these short lessons. Lots of useful tricks in manageable form.
Not too short, not too long. Perfect amount of concepts & licks. A great ML. Thanks Brian.
I am hoping for a “playing the changes” lesson in the near future. Maybe with some Jerry influence.
Like this one. Especially digging the harmonized third walk up from the A position chord form. I’ll get a lot of use out of that.
The more I play this the more I love it! It’s easy to work the previous lesson into it as well.
Actually, I meant EP618 works well with it. It’s hard to keep up because the lessens go by so fast!b
Great lesson with great ideas. Thanks Brian
Thanks Brain, the walk down to the one was a great thing to learn.
Definitely one of the best and most useful lessons, especially in the explanation for connecting all those classic blues sounds with those basic CAGED chord shapes. Tons of useful material jam packed in this 20 minutes micro lessons.
I love it when previous lessons click. The D shape walk to the E shape with the two minor between can also be looked at as D6 which is the gospel move you have taught us. Somehow you’ve got through this thick skull Thanks
Bravo Brian maintenant il me reste à appliquer les données de cette leçon sur un backing track en A pour commencer et à mémoriser ces phrases,
Fantastic lesson, Brian. You did a few lessons on slide guitar, but a while back now. Would you consider another one?
You always seem to present just the right lesson for me. I’ve been learning triads with a friend and now ready to take it up a notch.. this is just the most perfect timing and such a great lesson. I can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent.
