very nice lesson, I needed this.
Like the concept Good lesson n knowing when an how to add👍
This gets better every week. thanks Brian
Nice use of harmony and Maj/Min scale fills. This is an important lesson for not overdoing it!
Like it a lot … there are many connections to the lessons over the last few months that I am finding useful – thanks
Cream of the top kind of lesson right here. I am going to fly with this one. Happy Friday everyone.
Less is best
very useful. Thanks
Very enjoyable lesson and very useful in many ways on this long journey. Thanks …
Brian, Kind of lesson I need.Thanks,enjoyed very much. More like this.!!!!!
Nice lesson on how and how much to fill in a song.
Thanks Brian
Always inspires me to pick up my guitar and learn something. You can’t ask any more of a guitar tutor.
I agree with my colleagues above. It does kind of assume that the rest of the band are leaving some space though. If there’s no air in the music I try to remember to just stop playing.
Bluegrass- and Irish sessions are notoriously ‘busy’. When the current soloist stops there always seems to be someone else ready to jump in 🙂 Best to just go get a cup of coffee.
Nice one, Brian. Thank you
You never fail to inspire me Brian. This is a great lesson
G’day Brian,
BEETLZIE! Excellent terminology! Great lesson as always,
M.J.
Love a good organ. Amazing lesson as always. They get better every week. Thanks Brian!
Great lesson Brian. Thanks. I happened to notice that the bridge pickup on your guitar is canted upwards towards string 6 and down from string 1 while the neck pickup is just the opposite. I’d like to suggest your doing a vid on setups in general and specifically how and why you do yours. All the best, RF
Helpful as always, Brian. It also gave me the idea that I could ask our keyboardist to record his part in a song and email it to me. That way I can learn where to fit in with what he is doing before rehearsal on Saturdays.
Great lesson, Brian. Would enjoy more like this.
Does anyone know how to print the tablature larger, like 2 bars per line instead of 3? My poor old eyes just aren’t what they used to be. And yes, I do wear readers which help but I need a little extra help.
Thanks, Jim
Possibly print the tab landscape instead of portrait.
Great lesson! I hear people overplay all the time and wonder where they are coming from. Your fills are always very tasteful and well placed.
Another good ‘un, Brian. Thanks.
Love this- timing and taking time is a wonderful attribute. Then there is knowing what to say- a wonderful lesson, Brian, thank you as always.
I Love it!!
Love this spacy melody. But overall I have done in 1 day 🍻
Brian, Just gets better as weeks go by. Keep up the good works. How about Easter lesson? Dave
Hello Brian,
Good stuff. from France. Jean
Really enjoyed listening and watching this lesson. I have some exploring to do. Thanks
Can you walk us through the theory of the chord progression?
