That is a cool progression! I love the muting and the F#7 to B7 change. And yes it does lend itself to many improvised riffs.
Thanks Brian!

The F# to the B7, very Beatle-esq…

Another great lesson, Brian. Did not think much of the micro lessons in the beginning, but now I use them a lot in my regular playing. Thanks.

Bryan:
This pattern feels very close to John Lee Hooker’s “Boom Boom”. Am i right, or wrong?

Hi Brian, could you explain the appearance of th F# dominant 7 chord in relation to the B minor chord, and why that works so well…
Is it because it is the 5 chord of the key of B ? Does this mean that you can theoretically always through in th 5 chord over the 5 chord?
Richard F says
Awesome! More like this please Brian, nice and achievable, and broadens my knowledge.
Bob C says
Great Exercise !
Drew D says
sweet licks; digging this Active Melody Man.
Bob C says
Great progression tune, How about a lead to go along with that?
Thurman M says
Another good one. Really enjoy the Microlessons.
Clem says
That’s about my speed for sure, slowly. Seems like going from lick to chord has been my problem for a while now. I lose my place, or hit the wrong string. I really like the tune though.
Ernest C says
Awesome lesson! Exactly what I need exactly when I needed it…
