how about some hill country blues when you get a chance
I have a feeling that bar 5 of the tab is wrong, could it be? By the way, it’s a really interesting song, I’m loving it!
Wow. Marvelous. Good format others have used showing lead and rhythm simultaneously. Really works for you. I Love when you incorporate the rhythm into lessons,
and in this case the style you chose to discuss. Great idea. I think some years ago you mentioned in a lesson that type of open string picking. Incorporating the open string in a lead . Pick a single note on the fretboard then pick the open string twice. Repeat. Very timely for me! Oddly was going over it just the other day . It just popped into my head while playing something and I started working it. You never know what you retain from a lesson past… and where you learned it. From you! Tks!
This is a great lesson! It dovetails nicely with some of the other recent lessons in the key of E. Can’t wait to dive into this lesson and make it my own. Thanks Brian!
That’s the weekend sorted! Wife to the salon, boy to the bibi’s house, strap in and allow the master to light the way! Cheers Brian!
Bar 13 you do drop the B9 in briefly.
A very great song !
Great lesson Brian. Lot of licks to learn and use in other songs. I appreciate when you put in rhythm parts. Your videos are a surprise each week…I always try to guess what you’re gonna talk about but I’m always wrong….:-)
Great lesson Brian. Always appreciate when you break down the rhythm’s as well!! Question – what is the make and model of the guitar you are using? Love that guitar!
This is great! How fun. I will enjoy playing every day, for awhile!!!
Love it . Has a Tommy Emmanuel sound.
I had a lot of fun going through this number last night. I found myself picking things at random, gravitating to the low hanging fruit for a first pass through fingerstyle.
As always, there’s tons to learn and incorporate into my playing. Thank you Brian, and have a great musical weekend y’all!
Outstanding !!!
Thanks. This is exactly the kind thing I was hoping for. Showing both the lead and the rythem. Thank you!
Brian, love the slo motion addition for those of us who always need the extra ‘what did he do there?’ take lol
Great lesson as always
Another hit lesson. I really like it when you display the rhythm and lead as lessons. Need to get my speed up for this one. Lots of other lead ideas pop into my mind when playing this. Thanks
Dennis, I believe the guitar Brian is playing is a Mule resonator.
