Description
In this MicroLesson (ML016), you’ll learn how to play a harmonized lead in the key of D. This takes advantage of the open D string and allows you to improvise a lead / rhythm on top of it. Very easy to play as well.

Love it. Has a bit of a Sweet Judy Blue Eyes feel.
lots of fun. it’s also got a little Grand Funk a la “Captain/getting closer” feel.
also, almost every one of these micro lessons are giving me great song ideas.
Thanks Brian, I like when you explain the theory. It really helps me connect ideas.
love this !
Wow! Another fine lesson. These micro lessons are just perfect for me. Thanks Brian for helping me become a better musician.
Every little bit helps. Thanks.
These micro lessons are a brilliant addition. The brevity of them should draw more folks in to learning. Nice job!
Brian congrats on your new investment ..the Martin CEO-7 sounds awesome!! I remember playing a small Guild parlor (forget the model but it was a steal for 400.00..But I’m content with the little ap70 ..yeah and also enjoy my other acoustics too! But now I get to listen to your new addition and look forward to more!
I was a bit sceptical of the value of speedy micro lessons when first introduced,
but the extended versions for premium members are a great addition to full lessons.
OK some of the topics have cropped up in full lessons, but often these are
like having a friend just quickly demo and explain a playing nugget you’ve admired.
Great lesson, as usual Brian.
I am intrigued by these harmonized double stops. You also did a good one in microlesson 002, with 6th intervals. That one related to the Mixolydian scale. And now in this one you use the major scale. So I was wondering, when (or for what music) would a person consider which scale double stops to use (ie, the Mixolydian having the flatted 7th)? Say, if I’m doing a blues piece would it be more likely to best use the Mixolydian double stops? Would rock or country be more the major scale types? Thanks.
It really just depends on the feel you’re going for (no right answer). Mixolydian if you want more of a bluesy feel, major scale if you want a happier, more positive feel
