Description
In this week’s guitar lesson you’ll be sitting in as the guitar player in a rock / blues trio, filling in both rhythm and lead parts. There are no chord changes in this song, only a single chord. Since there are no other rhythm instruments, you’ll be defining the song as minor or major, and will be going back and forth between them.

Now THAT is the blues……….and a great lesson……just shot to number 1!!!
Thanks Brian….
O yea! You are on fire with these lessons. One great take away after another. Thanks Brian!
Mike
Right on !!!
Ah now that’s a great lesson and sure will make a great way to practice thanks Brian.
A great lesson, and I liked you showing the small voicings of the cords. These are my weak point when playing. Michael
Down, dirty, and delightful.
Great Brian.
Now we’re talkin!

That really is great. The way you keep reinforcing the use of alternative chord voicing through these great sounding bespoke lessons is inspired. It may be obvious to some but is quite an eye opener for me. Thanks again !
I love this lesson. I’ve been digging that opening lick since I first heard it on “Brown Sugar” from ZZ Tops First Album. That lick never gets old. I’ve been diggin it over 45 years. Great lesson! Thanks Brian
Great Blues Lesson.
I always have trouble with the Tremolo Picking. Every time I see it in a lesson I shy away from that lesson. Any suggestions on getting better at it. Thanks
I love this site. Good teacher, good lessons and quality backtracks. All we need to improve our guitar’s skills. Many thanks Brian, it is a pleasure for me to be a member here. Have a nice day and keep your good work.
I just watched this lesson and it sure looks like fun and this is going to open doors for me here! I hear Billy Gibbons in here!
I also hear George Thorogood ,, all this is good stuff!
It’s another piece of the puzzle!! Thanks
Great lesson Brian. Also works well as a 12 bar.
Looking forward to this one.. it’s on my list. Reminds me a bit of the Junior Kimbrough style, the purist blues there is.
I have to learn this lesson, great, thanks Bryan
Can’t wait to practice it. Brian’s the best teacher on the web. Thanks Brian.
Brian: This is my first comment since joining several months ago. I am at an advanced age & am entertaining my self at this point. Played as a teenager, but never learned any theory. Really enjoy your teaching and have progressed lately by sticking to one or 2 of your lessons until I get proficient. I have tried several other course approaches and yours has allowed me to advance beyond what I thought I could. Thanks and keep up the great work.
You know, this feels like something from one of my favorite blues artists over the last 15 years or so. Tab Benoit.
I don’t know exactly what it is about your teaching style. Certainly there are a lot of good teachers out there … but your teaching is almost like a musical history lesson of the old masters. Enables folks to build on Concepts. Thanks Brian – this is different….
Great Birthday (the 25th) lesson for me. Lots of fun. Thanks Brian
Hey,
AWESOME TUTORIAL! Suggestion from my side, I have a Marshall Code 50, maybe you can upload your own customs presets from your tutorials?
Thanks!
Great lesson! I thiught I had the rhythm piece down but I listened to a recording of myself and I suck pretty bad but I’m gonna get it right and take on that lead part. Love it!
Thanks, Brian!!!

This goes well with EP058- Hendrix style. You can blend licks from the two lessons, cut and paste as the spirit moves you.
Hi Brian,
Part 2 video stops shortly after the beginning with a message: “SORRY. There was an issue with playback”.
I wonder whether it’s only me, because no one else is complaining here ?
Love it! It will take me a while, but getting the first lick and making progress.
Regarding the tablature, the trill on the G is played as one or two notes, not the 8 it shows. Still, an excellent lesson.
Got the first lick nailed, now for the solo stuff……………………..
I love aggressive lead playing in Blues and Clapton uses some of these stock phrases which I am happy to see here. Will be in my Favorites as a go to, lesson. Thank you! 🙏
Anothert great stuff in the key of E although it seems so simple it just need to go with rhythm and pratice always … and by the way it feels so stiff and smooth on my telecaster because it brings out that fender sound
Hi Brian, is that a MIM fender??
Great stuff… What’s the possibility you doing “The Walking Man Blues” in open G tuning with slide work.?? Love what you do !!
