Brian,
Do you have the correct Sound Slice for this lesson?
Gene
Thanks Brian. Just what I needed to get me out of this rut I’ve been in for a few weeks. The Video Tablature Breakdown is not the right one for this lesson, but I like it. What lesson is this from?
Sorry Tom, I’ve corrected this.
Sorry Gene, I’ve corrected this.
Brian,
No need to apologize. You are one busy person.
I love this lesson.
Gene
Getting a heck of a lot out of these MicroLessons. Thanks a lot Brian for posting another little gem.

Really nice little lesson
Where can I purchase and Active Melody Tee shirt?
I want one also.
Wow. I’m impressed again. So good sounding while even for me not too difficult to play. Chapeau!
BTW: I want a t-shirt too. Start a web-shop, Brian?
Cool!
I watch the lessons from my iPad but I can’t see the videos full screen?
It looks like youtube has disabled full screen unless you’re on their site or using their app. So here’s a work around, it’s an extra click but will get you there. Just tap on either the title (the white title link at the top of the embedded video, or on the youtube logo – also in the video window at the bottom. That will redirect you to either youtube.com or to the mobile app (depends on how your ipad is set up), once there, you can THEN go full screen. What a pain, sorry I don’t have an easier workaround at this time. The part 2 videos work because they are hosted via Vimeo (not YouTube)
Hi Brian,
Just discovering this lesson this morning. Just watching it as I drink my morning cup of tea before breakfast (I wake up every morning and explore an AM lesson or two: it starts my day off nicely! Then I am keen to go and practice it!)
This is an excellent lesson.. just one question… I have never seen those two-fingered chords before. I am used to the L-shaped pattern, as you demonstrated in ML049. Why do these two-fingered ones work? And why do we just need to slide them up one fret or down one fret to get the 4 and 5 chord? With the L-shaped pattern in ML049 we needed to slide up two frets to get from the 4 to the 5 chord…
As described in your video, I happen to be a pattern learner, and this is a ‘lightbulb’ lesson for me. As usual, learning so much from your brilliant lessons!
Cheers,
Rich F
great micro lesson. Still say you should sell the Active Melody Tee Shirts again. and thanks again for the one you sent me. will BUY more.
Great lessons, I love the micros I’m learning a lot and playing new things everyday!!!!!!
Great lesson I’m really enjoying all these micro lessons. Keep them coming
Thanks for all the inspiration. Robert
Love these twelve bar micros.
I also appreciate not having unusual strum patterns together with unusual/difficult chords in the same lesson. It makes it faster to learn.
Also, I like playing simple stuff when I just want to play and not concentrate so hard. And, if playing for others, it is nice to have a simple thing like this you can make sound great.
So, bravo!
Nice and concise, I love to being able to download this on my fingers in such a short time and improvise on this forever!!! Awesome work Brain
Very slick little lesson, Brian!
i am finally learning to play guitar. Those 70 $ are my best inversión. Greetings from Spain
Always using 5 and 6 string chords can be replaced with only 2 strings. I started sliding into those two strings, sounds pretty neat. Thanks, Brian
Sorry for my ignorance, but I don’t understand how the D (IV) and E (V) ‘chords’ played on the 3 and 4 strings are only 1 fret up and down from the A (I)?
