    Good stuff, Brian. You’re the best. I’ve learned a lot from you. Been working on the last Gospel blues lesson. Don’t know how you come up with this stuff. Don’t ever go away!

    Yikes! Brought up this lesson and had to double check I was on the right site.

    Brian. Put down the razor, clasp your hands behind your head and step slowly away.

    Changes like that unsettle the cosmos.

    Always look forward to new postings. Teaching site par excellence.

    Brian, you are the first guitar teacher that I have come across that not only shows us how to play the tune but, explains how it works. For me that is awesome so really a big thanks to you. Best regards Dave.

    Haven’t played the guitar since I was the lead in a country band in the eighties. Thanks for giving me a renewed interest in playing….now the blues! 🙂

    Brian: The extended version and Slow Walk through are blurred out and don’t play for me. I am a member. ????
