  7. There is just tons of value strung together in in every chord change and lick. A great set of tools for any player, and a really good thought through workout even if lots of these elements are individually familiar. Thanks Brian.

  15. You’ve banged in some cracking rhythm lessons recently with this one, 281 and 284. My rhythm planning is really improving as a result, Lots of great ideas and trying to mix those ideas across the three lessons is really helping to get them ingrained, One of my key goals for a while has been to learn this style of playing. ie adding interest to rhythm and improvising fills without losing the vibe and this is really helping. Thanks!

  19. Great, Brian, as always.

    On the backing tracks, I am often faster than the slow one and slower than the fast one. Would you consider making a single lead or rhythm backing track with adjustable speeds?

    Second, when doing the pedal steel bends, how do I know which ones work over which chord? Wherever the harmonized thirds or sixths are over that chord?

  21. To Mark C: download Audacity. It’s free and you can speed up or slow down an mp3 without changing pitch if you want to. Actually it’s very versatile. I often take Brian’s backing tracks and put them into a speed I prefer.

  22. Hi Brian,

    Just got through learning this latest lesson. You are absolutely the best at helping students learn how to connect various parts of the fretboard, and making sense out of making music.

    Normally, I’m a lurker, and I rarely post on forums or message boards, but I just had to say thank you for doing what you do, and doing it the way you do it.

    Regards and happy holidays to you and yours!

  23. Brian your lessons are great, learn so much, thanks for such a awesome site to learn from. Keep it up ! My only regret is not enough time to work on your lessons, if I could only sit around and play guitar, all would be perfect, Merry Christmas and wonderful holidays.

    I was wondering, if you could take a hand full of chords and in a future tutorial, actually walk
    us through coming up with these melodies and solo concepts. It is easy to follow you and see what you are doing but
    its a whole different thing to create it. I am only a few months now learning from active melody only, so I am sure it will come
    in more time, still I would like to see that tutorial.
    Make it complicated
    Happy Holy
    Times
