    i would like to see more of these, especially ones that work on acoustic as well as electric. I also appreciate that you explain where they come from (caged shape, scale form, etc.) rather than just tabbing them out and saying play these notes. Thank you

    I always like your connecting the caged positions with the piece that you have put together, but I think your limiting the lesson by producing it this way. Within your expanded lessons you have covered so much that can be gleaned from what you are trying to get across. I’d rather you return to full ep lessons. Unless within your business model its better to stay with the more abundant ml lessons.

    Another fun lesson, more of these would be really useful. I love the intro and outro.

    It’s a YES from me. Would be great to have a series on nuances, a vocabulary to draw from under one banner.

    Yes Brian, I would always encourage more ‘down to the roots’ blues. So definitely more of this style would be very welcome.

    Great stuff Brian, thankyou. Short but not so simple – some really fun and useful techniques to concentrate on here.
    I love these short lessons which encourage us to focus on skills to apply to our playing, rather than learning a song.
    Last weeks lesson was great as well by the way…..still working on that!! Something for everyone as always.
    Just one suggestion – I have occasionally tried to find alternative backing tracks to play some of your previous lesson blues arrangements to, in an effort to adapt what I have learnt to different tempos and rhythms. If you can occasionally point us in the direction of suitable backing tracks (by Quist for example), or backing tracks of your own from previous lessons, that might be helpful. Thankyou for all your efforts as always
