A sweet middle of the week ditty! This will help spice up my rhythm playing.
I’m playing music I never thought I’d be playing..& loving it. Thanks Brian
Looks like part 2 isn’t set up with the right video, Brian. :).
Great midweek lesson. Would you ever consider teaching something in the style of Greg Brown? Not as huge of a name, but I’m interested in understanding how to play in that style.
fixed
I like the Greg Brown sound too!
Hey.. this is fun and easy to play- perfect timing for playing on vacation. Thanks Brian.
I have just got to this and always wondered how it was played , been caught up in you huge huge repertoire, just fantastic , only wish I had started years ago only actual playing about six months due to accident , trying g to cut my fingers of , worked out to be excellent physio, now a few things are sinking in …..practice practice practice and loving it .
Thanks brian
Hi Brain , would be great if you could show us the full lead section Luther plays , Cheers
What Model Gibson is that… it’s a beauty.
I love your vids that cover styles of particular guitarists.
This was a lot of fun to learn Brian. I hope you can teach us more of these different styles in future short lessons.
Thanks

Hey Brian, nice little lesson. When you show lessons like this, could you show both a sixth string root AND a fifth string root instead of just another sixth string root.
Thank you.
Great stuff, thank you
Love it!!
This is so cool, getting me to explore new possibilities i would never have thought about. Thanks Brian
I love this kind of lesson, Brian. I already have it in my gig bag.
Great lesson thanks Brian
Thanks ! my Taylor GS mahogany is gonnaaaa love this lesson. Yehaaa
Love playing it and for once I didn’t have to concentrate too much.
great mid week lesson – short and sweet
I should mention… On vacation for a few days last week on N. Shore of MN. Wife and I had breakfast at a cascade restaurant where we stayed. Playing on the ambient sound system was none -other-than Johnny Cash and others of the same vintage. I started writing down some song titles as I was thinking these would be fun to play for a change. Tucked in the back of my mind was this list of songs to play when someone says, “Hey, you play guitar… play something” Opened up my email when I get home to find this lesson. What a nice kick to get me started in time. I just smiled. I finally sat down tonight to start and I’m thinking about… “I seen a train a comin… rolling down the line.” Thanks Brian!
Hi Brian (and all others),
struggling with the palm muting a bit: I can only mute the low 2 strings, all others ring out.
Am I supposed to mute ALL strings? My hand is moving so I cannot control muting of all strings.
How does Brian do that?
Thanks from Berlin,
André
I have the same problem
Superb lesson, and lovely guitar.
Hi Brian, just looked at the tab for the E version of this lesson (VG33) and noticed that the E chord has been tabbed out as an Aminor throughout the song… it might throw a few students off if they are at an early stage in their playing 🙂. Best wishes, Jenna
