Description
In this jazzy / blues guitar lesson you’ll learn how to play an up-tempo, poppy sounding rhythm the first time through. The second time through you’ll be changing scales to match the chords while playing lead, giving you a more sophisticated sounding lead. You’ll also learn how to play double stops (2 notes that are harmonized) on both the 1 and 2 strings, and the 1 and 3 strings.

This is my favorite lessons site. Hope your holidays were great…. Your a God, Can’t keep up with you. Still working on the major, minor, pentatonic lesson. A lot to comprehend there. could play with this for a long time. My favorite lesson. A lot of information there. Thanks for that lesson. Wish you and your family all the best.

Bill W2 says
keep on raising the bar 🙂 Lot’s to chew on each lesson. how you use various licks in different settings. Thank you…. I’m also biased to the red guitar. I enjoy your enjoyment in sharing these lessons. Wishing you and all a Happy 2016. In many ways it’s all about how we play it! Life is a Gig worth Playing each time.

Thanks for the lesson! I’m having trouble casting part 2 and the slow walk thru lesson. These lessons are even better on a big screen TV
gmassengill says
Brian, I really like the lessons that are inclusive of every thing ie ( rythum and lead ) all together as most of the time I play alone without accompaniment. Yours is the only site I go to regulary, keep up the good work, and thanks for your efforts.
clickdiddy says

sunburst says

Russell A says

Bob M says

Dan P says
Another cracker Brian. Even though it is short and sweet, there’s still enough going on to keep me busy for a good while.
Gale D says
Hi Brian, You mentioned your strumming. on the Gibson es335 sounded a little distorted. This surprised. me because once before you said you were using a Fender Twin Riverb. Did you upgrade the pickups and if so with what? Thanks for all the great lessons.
Brian says
I still use a Fender Twin Reverb – honestly I can’t remember why it was breaking up – probably something weird I did with the camera.
Richard P says
Thanks Brian! What a really fun piece. You know you’re getting better when your wife asks “was that you playing last night” 🙂
Richard P says
BTW: There’s a small mistake in measure 25. The E played on the & of 2 should be an A.
