    I just happened to find this micro lesson only today and love the sound of it. I immediately started to work on it, but cruelly miss your comments and advice to practise efficiently. I will .work with only sound and picture I know I will eventually manage to master it but It will take a long time.

    Thank you for this beautiful melody and for every thing you do.

    Hello Brian,

    I like this melody very much. But I miss your explanation, which helps me understand what is happening and why you can play it this way. For instance: I think the melody is in the key of D (you start and end with a D), in measure 3 you go to the G (=IV) and in the same measure you play a C, which would be the VII. This puzzles me. Is it because of the country style that you play a major 7-chord and not a diminished 7, or is it just because it sounds fine? In measure 7 you play a G (=IV) and in the same measure a Gm so a minor iv? Is it to give the song some kind of flavor, by playing the b3 in stead of the 3? I’m sure there is a purpose that you use these chord combinations, but for now I can’t figure out what this is. This is why I miss your comment.

    But never the less. Another beautiful melody added to your fine collection.

    Wil

    Any chance backing track could be added? or possibly a lesson explaining what’s going on with behind the scenes
