I like seeing T-Shirts from places where I lived nearby. I see the Grand Canyon T, and now an Anchorage Alaska shirt! You get that from Bryce? Need a shirt from Glacier Park Montana next.
Yes, Bryce sent it from Anchorage
Another beaut MicroLesson. I’ve learn so much from these. Thanks again Brian.

Nice little lesson Brian. I like the licks in A and B. My goal is to be able to improvise over the IV and V chord changes.
I like it. Easy to learn and you could take a portion of this and insert it over a chord in a blues progression when you aren’t sure what to play, and it will sound great.
Great!Thanks
I really enjoy these mini lessons. Thanks Brian

Hi Brian,
Just to say a big thank you ,for all the hard work you put into these lessons, I’m learning so much since joining Active Melody.
From, Myra on the UK side of the pond.

My first post. This was lots of fun.
Hi Brian, your “call & response” lessons are awesome!! I am always looking forward to them!! Let’s keep them coming!!
Greetings,
Ron
Great lesson as always Brian! Just a little clarification on the timing please. Are you coming in with the open E on the 4th beat and starting a new measure with the G#?
Nice!
Nice little ditty!
This was great. I have been working on this on and off for about 2 months and finally got it. If you listen to how you play it there are a few nuances that are at first not apparent but the more I practiced it the more I heard and worked out. Anyway, I appreciate the simple lessons because I can finish them. Each simple lesson I finish carries me a little further to one a little more complex. But, I do like the easy ones. Thanks to your lessons I have come a long way. I’m 71 years old and didn’t start until I was 60 so I’m doin’ ok and loving it. Thanks for all you do.

Great lesson! Goes well with 054 as they both use that awesome movable riff. As with 054, I really like how quickly you can learn it since there is not too much going on at once. You don’t have to be trying to get a difficult rhythm pattern along with hard/new chords.
Plus, it is another 12 bars to pull out, and if it sounds good (and it does if you play it at all well) you can always go around a few times.
Thanks, Brian. Please do more of these.
Oops. Correction to above post. It is 8 bars, not 12.
Could you teach us a lesson on baby please don’t go? I heard it was done by lightnin Hopkins and or Big Joe Williams.
Brian,
Active Melody – is absolutely the best way to learn and play guitar.
Thanks,
STEVE
Awesome lesson!!! Thank you!
