  2. Whenever I see the title “Slow Minor Key Blues …. played Solo” I get excited and I just know I’m going to love it! Sure enough, this one goes straight to “to do now” list 😁

    • Hi Carl, welcome. This is just my take but it could have been A minor, but it would be a different song There are just a mess of possibilities that you COULD use theory to explain after the fact, but this is what it is because it sounds good. I hope this clarifies things a little. Try it with an A minor. It works but it’s different.

  18. Hi Brian, Great lesson again. Question for you, I’m a little confused if we are in the key of E minor isn’t the shouldn’t the 5th chord be a minor, but the 3rd is major in a B7. I need to go back to the wood shed. My thinking was to stack the 3rds and follow the formula 1 Minor 2. Diminished 3. Major 4. Minor 5. Minor 6, Major 7 Major

  23. Hi Brian. I enjoyed this lesson. But I need to know if I can get the tab for the whole lesson Parts 1&2
    ? When I downloaded the tab it just gave for the first part.
    Thank you

  24. After a little over a year following your video lesson I am making progress. I’m 67 with a touch of arthritis in my fingers but when I play the pain seems to disappear. The guitars I play I built (12 – 8 parlor and 4 OM). I made my fretboards a bit wider with a wider string spacing to accommodate my fat finger tips. It still takes me a week to learn the two parts and I am getting a hang of hybrid picking. I love the no accompaniment lessons. Thanks your lessons make my week special.

  28. That is a beautiful Gibson and sounds awesome very full rich tones! Lesson is basic but very fundamentally important ..short and sweet Brian,,,always a pleasure agree! ty always for sharing!

  30. Brain,

    I just wanted thank you for paying attention to detail in the hybrid picking as well as other techniques I have learned. They have stretched me to be a better and flaws player as my ear gets sharper at hearing those little details.

    Sincerely, thanks

    Scott

  31. Hi Brian, Your focus on learning how to play rather than just memorizing tunes is especially important to those of us who think we kind of know our way around the guitar but can’t improvise. I also like your comments about “here’s where it comes from” because this also helps with learning rather than memorizing. Any thoughts about a similar “how to play fills” as a preliminary to how to play leads? Tony
