Brian – you finished early – Great One!
Defenitly convincing.
A lesson to take seriously
for any case scenario !
Thank you Brian.
One of your many “Greatest Hits” Brian.
Sounds great!
The very best , light bulbs and flashing lights. Thank you Brian
Brian, great job. So many applications for the content in this lesson! Thank you!!!
Excellent lesson. Thank you Brian
Great work as always, Brian, thank you,
M.J.
I just don’t have enough light bulbs in my house to cope with this one!
dig in Phil little chunks at a time then link each phrase up , it comes after a while , lots of short practice sessions rather than a one marathon if frustration creeps in put the axe down an come back a bit later.
Top class. Many thanks Brian.
Love it. Very accessible and practical. Maybe a lesson with harmonized sixths in the future?
Fellow students: see Brian’s EP363 lesson to help with this. He has included some nice visual pdf’s on shapes for harmonized 3rd’s and 6th’s.
Great lesson! Keep doing the blues lessons with no jam track.
I love it!!! Thanks Brian
I always learn Brian. No matter the “Genre”, I always learn. Thanks!
Keep going with the Blues!
This was another great lesson. I especially enjoyed the way you showed the chord shapes and the tabs too in each section. The way you teach us how to use pieces of the chords is a light bulb in itself.
Thanks Brian

Result: A country sounding song. I wonder why country music makes such use of harmonized licks…. Perhaps it’s because it’s easy on the ears.
It’s not a light bulb this week. It’s a strobe light! Great explanation on these harmonies and how to tie it together Brian!
Really enjoyed this one Brian.
Great lesson thanks Brian
In the 5th section when you slide to 7/8 to 5/7 to 3/5 then 01 why didn’t you go 21 instead of 01 and then the d7. Seemed like the pattern switched in going to 01?
Awesome little lesson, Brian! Tying the thirds to the chords was a great exercise.
Great lesson
Love this lesson, Brian! It unlocked so many things about harmonizing and ways to use cord forms up and down the neck!! Thanks so much!
Fantastic lesson. Learned so much from this!
A great lesson. Harmonize chords have been one of my favorite ways of playing over the years and I have learned new positions from this lesson. Thanks.
Reminds me of John Fogerty (i.e. Lodi intro). This is a valuable lesson for sure. Nice to get an explanation of what’s going on and to get some practice riffs, especially if we’re looking for intros to original songs.
Boom go the lights! A lot of tricks to digest here but fantastic Thanks Brian
wow!
super lesson for me here. I’ll be here for a couple of weeks.
great stuff for improv at jams!
Yay this was my Saturday Afternoon project, and having another look today to revise, thanks for the great lesson.
Thanks, Brian. Having just worked out the CAGED system myself, this lesson is a perfect way to appreciate how they are all connected and how it fits over a simple chord progression. What came to mind is what Fernando Sor did with his classical Etudes is what you did here for contemporary guitar – much appreciated! Without the tools you have provided here I never would have been able to study in sufficient detail to comprehend what you were playing. Great stuff, many thanks.
im still working on this lesson.. so much here to work on and use to improvise at jams…..these kind are the best for me
triads ..harmonies..etc..love em.. keep em coming
Brian, I just keep finding lessons I have skipped over because there is no way to cover all. This is another barn burner for me. Learning so much with this lesson. Keep up the good work. Dave
Hi Brian, I wonder if you could do a lesson that helps tie in mixolydian thirds with the chord shapes (layering them on the major ones you’ve been kind enough to teach)?
