I’m a somewhat new member and have bounced around a few lessons. I tend to funnel more to some lessons than others, but all push me. EP 121 is no different. I guess I’m lucky in that this lesson is challenging enough to push me to almost the brink of trying some other lesson, but not too easy to get bored. The diminished chord was something I haven’t done in a while, but sounds great.

Hi, Rudai – As Brian noted in one of his lessons, some of his students want to master each of his lessons note for note and others, like me, are looking to learn new licks. When I learn a new Brian lick, I often modify it to my liking; sometimes I even transpose it to a different key. Different strokes for different folks, I guess! But it keeps things interesting. The guitar (like, I guess, any musical instrument – except the kazoo) is a lifetime challenge in learning. Best regards, Charley D., Houston, TX.

When he plays the E9 chord, and the D9, he augments with his little finger. Back in the day I learned that chord by using my ring finger to bar the bottom three strings. He shows barring the bottom three as the funk guys do with his pointer finger. Sort of the same idea, but laying the ring finger across them and retaining the middle and pointer notes.
I really enjoy this lesson. But the theory behind what Brian is doing is the core of this tutorial.
So much of this lesson transposes to basic blues, which transcends into rock and other genres.
This is the meat boys and girls.
One of these days I’ll have a way to record and put things out here. I am willing to bet this is the first one I record.

This Lesson EP 121 is what finally got me premium membership! Needed to hear the full lesson. As been said, I enjoyed the application of various nuances that Brian always brings to the table. I had to master this lesson. And I got so frustrated with myself in not remembering the entire melody yesterday I needed to “walk away”, sometimes that helps me to assimilate. Part of my incentive in learning is to counter act the neurological degradation that age brings. Wonder if Brian is aware of this added help he renders to us, how shall I say?, Life “veterans”…………;-)
My first “Brian” lesson I happened upon was his “Allman Brothers” sound lesson(EP-80). That got me hooked as an Active Melody follower. peace

The Yamaha method of teaching piano (and other instruments) involves making the students listen to the tune over and over again without playing it. So I’ve made a playlist of lessons I actually want to commit to memory, and I listen to them while driving in my car. Works like a charm. Now I lie in bed at night and the tunes are recycling in my head! According to science, that’s the notes being transferred into my long-term memory….
