These lessons Brian puts out keep getting better. I was inspired by this weeks lesson to utilize some of what he taught about keying off the root note on the B-string and using the skills I have already gained by learning all the patterns and just having a better understanding on what’s going on with improve.
There is a whole lot more I want to do with my quest for playing the blues at a higher level. I have been practicing a lot of new licks and it’s going to take more time to internalize it all but I am very pleased with the progress so far.
Here is the results from todays jam session. I sped up the track to 80bpm is it has a little more vibe on the teley.
Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

This lesson is so new , I had not heard it yet. 😀
You played this very well Michael and I always enjoy hearing people putting their own ideas to the lessons rather than just playing them verbatim. It is immediately clear you have a great feel for the blues and coming up with your own ideas is no problem for you.
As for internalizing new licks, I am lucky if I just take one tiny thing from any given lesson. Playing guitar is a long and infinite road 😉

You have a nice touch! Sounds great (soulful, smooth and tres bluesy)! I love the fact that you are playing a Tele out of Silverface Twin Reverb. Great tone. Fantastic listen.John
That amp needs some work on it to get rid of some leaky grid resistor path voltage in channel #2 circuit. I know what it is, I just have to make time to clean the eyelet board to get rid of the leakage. So I wasn’t actually using the twin yet. If I am using it, you will see the red light brightly lit up.
Otherwise, I would use that amp more often. Right now it is just going through my new GP-200 board with some custom NAM captures from the tone3000.com site. I still have a lot more experimenting to do with different captures.

I’m usually clicking refresh every 10m on Friday evenings waiting for the weekly lesson to drop. This one was very inspiring because I understood what he was teaching and how powerful it is to thinking in terms of intervals from the root note. But I can’t seem to stay in one position like he wants us to do. And that’s probably due the amount of time I spend practicing the pentatonic scales regularly. I do those ascending up the pentatonic #1, descend down the #2, up the #3, down the #4, up the #5 and down #1. The whole thing can be looped around.
If you know you will be playing in D minor/major pentatonic as with this lesson, I simply went through the loop a few times to make sure I knew where all my favorite lick spots are and then I’m ready to jam.
