Outstanding blues piece. Aside from what this lesson teaches, I just wanted to haul out my old bass and play along.
challenging, but doable with practice. thanks.
Another awesome lesson! Can’t wait to sink my teeth into it, Thanks Brian!
Nice and lyrical. Played with the usual great ‘feel’. Thanks again Brian
A Great lesson, with a wonderful composition. Sounds great, as soon as it started I new this would be another favourite.
Looking forward to studying this one. Can you please put together a playlist with just your tunes without the lesson on YouTube so we can listen to all your beautiful songs with family and friends?
Great stuff Brain.
Nice, melodic licks in a key, I don’t usually play blues, but I love the sound of D and in that position. That shape 2 box is a go to for the major D penta and fits right in with shape 1 of the D minor pentatonic. I have been lately, studying staying in on area for a 12 bar with major and minor and your composition is fun to play and it is so tastefully good!
Nicely done, the tone is superb and the bass is exceptional….thank you.
I just wanted to say what a tastefully arranged piece! (RIFF DIGGER beat me to it.) Thanks for a fantastic lesson.
Thanks Brian, much appreciated my friend.
So smooth! Love it. And I was just thinking I need more pieces in D 🙂
Great licks, Brian, especially over the IV and V. I’m always looking for those. The idea of ending a phrase on the flat 7 leading into the IV chord, almost like a secondary dominant, was a lightbulb moment for me.
I remember how the Clapton gospel EP 074 lesson was my breakthrough for the concept of mixing major and minor pentatonic. I think many newer members will feel the same about this lesson.
I wanted to add, how about a similar lesson in box 4 to help consolidate the mixing of major and minor in that area?
This lesson is so good that nobody wants to talk about the new “dog on the room”! … (i.e. the new landing page?…)
Brian, is the French bull dog a new addition to the family? I Love the picture and the expression on its face… awesome lesson and a great picture.
Some really nice licks in there. Thanks Brian.
Great lesson…you play blues so well. It would be nice to have some future lessons like this in the other CAGED positions. Your idea to do a monthly recap of licks is very clever and interesting.
Very cool guitar and sound.
Brian, regarding the lick at bar 17 done over the G (IV) chord, can we attach that lick to any A shape or should it primarily be attached to an E shape (I chord)? .. or both?
Is going to be one of my most favorite lesson you’ve done. It’s special to be able to not always feel like you have to play all over the neck and still sound fantastic.
