The week off did you good! Great way to kick off the next 100 episodes!!! Love it! And you got it in early in the day! Thank you!
I’m looking forward to learning this one. It’s a great groove! I’ll have to start slow but that’s okay. I love it!
Soooo totally awesome, Brian!!! It took me only one listen to know that I needed to play that.
So is a B9 chord the same as a A6 chord?
Technically “no” even though there are three common notes (A-C#-F#). An A6 is A-C#-E-F# (R-3-5-6) while a B9 is B-D#-F#-A-C# (R-3-5-b7-9). What Brian has labeled as a B9 or an A6 might commonly be referred to as an F#m in the Dm shape. But it can be considered an A6 (No 5th) or a BSus9 (No Root) depending on the context It’s important to note that lots of chords are played with one or two notes missing, especially extended chords (9ths, 11ths & 13ths).
Oh my goodness, I love this! Can’t wait to get into it!
Sounds great Brian! It’s going to be a busy week learning this one. Thanks for the challenge.
Really upbeat and very cool rockabilly lesson! going to work on this tomorrow morning! oh be these lessons keep piling up one at a time! lol
This lesson reminded me of this tune lol

I lol, yes that is the song it reminded me right away before watching you mentioned it too in intro… the Holiday run tune yes! okay enjoying this lesson now!
Great ear very similar
Kohler!! Brian’s generously throwing us even the kitchen sink with great ideas here!! Very cool…………..and certainly concepts we can use all over the place!! We’re off to a great start leading to Brian’s 600th!!! Jim C.
..off we go again 🙂
Diolch.
Many thanks from Wales.
Another great take away Brian! I had to listen to that 3 or so minutes at about 12:30 of the first video a number of times to get the 6/9 ideas and the relative minor aspect. Never thought of, say an A6 being a B9 and being a relative minor and how or when to make them work. As you said, another thing to explore. While playing with my pinky doing your minor chords CAGED lesson, I came across the idea of the relative minor which I thought really opened things up (adding the pinky gave an easy way to play a 1,6,4,5 progression). Never thought of these ideas of the 6th and 9th being there with the same fingering too. Thanks again.
This is a fun one….
Can’t wait to dive into this.. Just WOW!
Great lesson Brian, some cool take aways too
Thanks
Ray

Brian. really enjoying your intro video, where you start to explain E and the Cage system.. another good way to observe in building any chords too that the root/tonic and simply locating the OCTAVES ( will help learn how to map the notes on the fret board) can help along with the CAGE shapes system too.. anyway cool lesson!
explaining the Octaves can help identify locating the diminished or any chords too.. like the relative 6ths note off the scale theory too
A bit late Brian but agree with all the postings last week on you reaching your 300 lesson great achievement for you and 301 not a bad one either cheers.
Awesome lesson Shure would like the tab for the MP3 minus the guitar. Love it congrats on hitting 300 best on the block
Hi Brian great lesson. Have you heard of Holger Bogen? Check YouTube. Reminds me a bit of his choo choo shuffle.
My god this is cool !!!!!!
You should definitely follow this one up with how to / ideas for soloing over top of it
Keep up the great work man !!
Great lesson. !!! the snow bird thing is great been doing it for 14 years now. In Arzion.
Little late, computer trouble. Wow. Ask and you shall receive. Great lesson.
Man you just opened up doors for me with all the chord movements and rational behind them….
Wow. How cool is that. I’m finally starting to catch on to the technical side of what you’re talking about. The more I listen to you explain, the more I understand what’s going on. At first I wasn’t so techno, but now I’m buying into it , And I’m loving it. Thanks so much.
Thanks for this, Brian. You have a knack of coming up with just the lesson I need at a particular time.
Thanks for such a great lesson Brian…
The concepts really helped me out with a song that I’ve been trying to learn…
I’m just an old chunk of coal
