I can see myself enjoying playing this tune. Thanks Brian
Tyrone M says
This is gonna be a lot of fun to follow Thanks another good arrangement 😁
Jeff H says
Hi Brian, another Great lesson, but it is strange that the Rhythm and Lead are at two different tempos.
Peter W says
It’s an error. The rhythm tempo should be = 120
Jim M says
Wow !!! This lesson is just full of great information Brian.
Juxi says
Hi Brian. Thanks for that lesson. I love those lessons, in which you can learn both the lead and the rhythm part! This goes directly to the (unfortunately still very long) list of must-learn lessons. Great! 👍🏽👍🏽😊👋🏽
Scott L says
If I can get this tune down, I’m sure it will stick with me for the rest of my life. It’s very, very cool!
Thank you Brian!
Gordon C says
Guthrie plays the most melodic stuff. But I ha to buy one of those Vidami video controller pedals just to slow him down enough to figure out what he was actually doing.
Brent C says
Home Run!!!!!
Thank you.
Bruce G says
Love the licks on the lead–and really having fun with the rhythm….always good to have some rhythm lessons! Thanks Brian
Raymond P says
Just finished the lead lesson. It was great and thank you for putting in the tab music above your fretboard. It sure is helpful. Now on to learn the Fingerstyle Rhythm.
Thanks Brian

Raymond P says
I just finished the rhythm lesson. That was great Brian, it really helped me how to better apply the rhythm to the lead.
Thanks again

San Luis Rey says

Thanks Brian
Derek H says
I got drunk coming home last night…
nostril says
Thanks Love the rhythm part I can use whatever tempo I choose. The gospel quick change 1 4 1 nice little spice I say.
Paul M says
There is so much wonderful guitarmanship (if that’s a word) in this week’s gem-thanks again Brian.
Rick R says
Great lesson. What looping device to you use?
Mwendabai K says
Hi Brian. Any chance of having a beginner video or shorts or short course on harmonic you played on the 12th fret, sounds pretty sweet.
TERRY C says
I just wish I could keep up, but this is a 75 year old Scottish highlander trying to improve very poor guitar skills! Love your lessons best guitar teacher I have seen’ so definitely something wrong my end. Small person , small hands so some of your techniques seem to be beyond me! keep up the great work, many will be enriched, best to you and your family.
John H says
What a GREAT rhythm Brian – really cool !! Love the groove ! Thanks !
John R says
Brian, I like the percussive fingerstyle rhythm portion on this one. I’ve been looking for lessons that blend rhythm with lead. Thanks!
Anthony (Tony ) W says
Brian – A whole lot of info in this lesson that needs digesting bit by bit. It seems to me , the most frequent key that comes up in a ” picking-session ” is G, so one could take a solo/break using the one position and do OK. As time goes on – add the next and so on. A real kickstart lesson to impro., that I wish I,d had years ago. Thank you once again. Tony
Peter W says
H Brian. EP484 Rhythm Tablature PDF has the tempo = 90. Should be = 120.
Brian U says
Brian, what a great lesson, as always. That tele is such a sweet sounding instrument. I’ve seen it in a number of your videos and am sort of coveting it, but cannot make out the headstock. What is it?
Thanks! BrianU
Brian U says
Ahhh… I figured it out… Danocaster. Beautiful sounding instrument. Thanks again for the lesson.
James H says
I was thinking i need to move forward in two areas to expand my skills, start learning fingerpicking style and using my loop pedal to play rhythm and lead.
I found this. Perfect.
Hard but perfect, expanding my skills
