        Brian,

        This course is just incredible!! I purchased it recently and have gone through everything to see what it includes. The library of licks alone is worth much more than the price for the course.

        Over the years I have been to a few instructors for a lesson or two and never get much of anything out of what I paid for. I’d have to say after coming to this website I could call you my first real instructor as you’ve laid a foundation and built a program of lessons that actually ‘teach’ a person how to become proficient at playing the guitar.

        I understand why the price for this course is $45 as it is made to reach and appeal to an online audience. If it were given as an in person lesson, someone would spend well into the hundreds to thousands of dollars for the wealth of knowledge that just this course provides.

        Thanks for this lesson and all the other free lessons. The free rhythm, blues, and finger picking lessons combined with the pay lessons are truly advancing my play.

          I recently made a print out of all the licks in the Blues Lead course by making each one a smaller page size and doing a snapshot to fit a few per page. It works very well as a cheat sheet of sorts and now I don’t have to look at any of the licks unless I just forget.

          I’ve been able to do a run-through in order for all the licks and it makes a nice sounding blues lead when done all in order.

          Let me know if anyone wants to know how to do this. I think you have to have Adobe Acrobat to produce the file.

            I did the same thing; cut and pasted the licks on a single sheet. I play a tenor guitar tuned dgbe, so I left out licks which included 5th and 6th strings. Brian suggested that I memorize three or four licks, to view them as words that I can make into my own sentences. This has worked well thus far. I am also memorizing the licks for the blues lead lesson and the Brian Switzer swing lesson. I keep practicing all three every day, and seems to be working well.

              I’d love to know how you did this if you care to share 🙂

                If you have windows 7, you could use the snipping tool, this allows you put a box around what you want to copy and paste it into another document, you can normally find the snipping tool by clicking on the windows start button.
