Thanks for another great lesson Brian!
Now this is my kind of music. Thank you.
Alright, Brian!
deece,
sp, brasil
digging it! Thanks!
Nice one Brian.
Excellent lesson composition ! Would love more jazz like lessons such as this. Good to see you still going strong Brian !
Nice production and nice to see some jazz entry material. Thanks.
Sweet lesson Brian! Man oh man…is that a new to you 175? A dream guitar, good on ya!
Ah, I see it in use in previous lessons. Sounds great 👍
I talk about it at the beginning of the 2nd video
It’s so good on It’s own. Having it from the previous owner is pretty awesome. I’d love to one day have a 295.
Those 175s are sweet!
Love it Brian! Just tying things together with chord shapes and scales. Another one straight to favorites.
Wow to both parts. I need to get up earlier and work on guitar.
Super lesson Brian, love the chord progression.
A very nice lesson composition! The ES175 sounds great too.
Love it. Great background track too.
Brian, is there no end to your creativity. A wonderful composition and lesson content.
Brian this lesson is great and has set me looking at EP205 as well as the neck diagrams in the section on arpeggios in the lessons section. I can see from the diagrams that the notes in the cord shapes are included, but what are the other notes and how are they related to the cords? For an arpeggio can you play these notes in any order?
Sorry meant Arpeggio diagrams in the course section
Nice lesson
What song from Modern Times Brian? I also see the CD there in the video! Best, Andre
the B part of Spirit on the Water – that change is amazing
Ha! I thought it was Spirit in the Water!
Thank you Brian, this is great!
Methinks the Brian doth protest too much.
When you’re playing G Mixolydian over Am that is the notes of C, but Am is the relative minor of C so it’s also the notes of Am, so you are playing the chord changes when you’re playing G Mixo, no?
Great lesson, Brian! Just the explanation of the first 4 chords was worth the lesson.

Another amazing composition- sounds kind of jazzy to my ear. And, finally figured out what you mean by playing chord changes vs. staying in the key of the song. Nice one Brian.
I like it!
this is one of my favorite lessons
Great lesson, very fun stuff. I had fun expanding on the chord sequence to bring in some more jazz chords and add the 4 & 5 chords. My brain wants to hear something different continuing on after the A#dim7 chord.
Great jazzy composition and a great lesson, but just as I think my music theory is improving you blow my mind with your fantastic knowledge. Lots still to learn.
That is a cool sounding song and not overly hard to play.
Amazing creativity Brian. Awesome lesson. Lots to build on too. Thanks. -Ned
This is a lightbulb lesson for me!
Thanks 👍
I loved this lesson reminds me of a 1940`s dance band sound
great sound Brian
Hey…great lesson. Curious though…G#dim7? Trying to figure out the chords as well, and I thought that would be an Fdim if you’re first finger is on the 4th string F.
G#dim7, B dim7, D dim7, and F dim7 are all the same chord – same 4 notes in each of them.
So much good stuff in that lesson, notes wise and rhythm wise. My favourite part is at 9:50 on first video when Brian said he did not come up with all the licks first time around. Gives me hope !
Thanks Brian, just what I need to the fingers and the little grey cells working. Just getting up to speed after a couple of weeks!!
This lesson is great for playing licks to the chords.
I would love to play the chord first with one strum then the associated lick and so onl
How can we find out how to play each chord?
I really enjoy learning this piece.
Well, you say you’re not sophisticated but you’re probably alot more sophisticated than most of us are Brian! I am continually amazed at how detailed
and in depth your lessons are week to week to week and you just keep putting them out every week over the years. There is a high volume of output, but
the quality is excellent, they’re all unique and freshly creative on their own. I have learned so much over the years. Thank you for what you do Brian!
EP466 a very good lesson for me, Thank you.
Brian does it again! A great lesson. I think the Am section in part 2 reveals a bit of devilish humor😊. I can just imagine him saying to himself “have fun girls and boys”. But maybe I project too much. It’s not the number of notes but the timing of them that is a real challenge. In his unpretentious style he makes the lick seem so simple. He carefully breaks it down but it is to me very challenging. Quite a learning experience. Thanks
