A very good concept for a lesson brian I am sure all will find this one helpful. JohnStrat
Great lesson. Thanks to your teaching I am slowly becoming a musician.
Although I must admit I am experiencing a case of guitar envy. Your guitars are very cool.
I’m crazy about this one! Thanks Brian
Weird, I was looking into II V I earlier today, searched google again just now and saw this pop up! Sounds super rad, dig it.
Love it!!
A beauty for sure! More?
Nice music, Brian.

Jazzy sounds, enjoy !!!!
Great ideas packed into a short practice piece. Another great lesson. Thanks Brian!
Way to break down these important jazz concepts in an understandable simple manner Brian.
This is a great primer lesson before tackling EP 371 which gives even more turnaround and lead options for a jazz blues.

This song has a vibe that lowers blood pressure by 10 points. Ahhh!
Interesting ideas expressed clearly in an easily accessible format. Brian’s trademark approach!
Great lesson Brian,
Although I have to admit I did miss the tab screens you’ve been posting lately. They tab screens make it a lot easier to follow you as you explain the lesson. But this still was a great lesson.
Thanks

Every week is a wonderful new riff and lesson. Not sure where you find the deep creativity mine to pull it from but I hope it never runs dry. I really find that just working these week to week is fun and improves my skill without it feeling like practice.
Appreciate your lessons Brian – thanks!
lovely!
and because you rarely mention your motto, I will do here:
learn to play, not memorize.
Thanks!
I’m hearing Jailhouse Rock too when you slide into a major chord
Building on stuff you taught us previously with interesting new material, technique and theory. It’s like having my own private class each wk that keeps challenging me and keeps track of my progress. Really benefitting from your lessons. Thank you!!
Do you have backing tracks for the songs ?
any lesson that has a full band or backing track includes that backing track in multiple formats. This lesson was a standalone composition, so no backing track is included
Nice lesson. Really would like to see more like this. Love the blues jazz flavored lessons particularly more upbeat ones.
I enjoyed the lesson. If you like jazz blues, check out this little collection of mine: https://youtu.be/P0wRSmkTyEk
Nice lesson and plenty to learn even if you don’t pick up the guitar. Just listening pays off too.

Plenty to learn (here) even if you don’t pick up the guitar. Just listening pays off too.

Really enjoyed this Brian. It’s all stuff I know, but presented in such a way to make the pieces click together.
Thank you, can’t wait to get into this one. i think this will help me take that next step in my abilities
Great lessons every time Brian.
Just noticed one slip about 4 minutes in where you say the 3 chord is C sharp minor, but surely it is F sharp minor?
Hi Brian, I’ve never thought to ask what guitar are you playing? Love to see a list of all your guitars somewhere on the site too?
Lawnboy inspired? Haha
I not only see your technic I can feel it ,Love the lessons!!!
How do you feel about adding chord diagrams to your tab? Thank you, Frank
