You’ve got my attention. I can’t wait to take a deep dive into this! Thanks Brian
Great concept to expand upon.

Thanks BRIAN,
This will get me moving around the fretboard a lot more.

Great concept! I like that it can be re-purposed in multiple ways and combined with pentatonics.
I’m amazed at how you can come up with these awesome lessons week after week. I just love your work and you have helped me so much over the years. Your lessons are so easy to follow and the printable tabs are always spot on. Thanks Brian.
2 kool 4 skool….ur stuff iz priceless ✌️🍀
Great stuff Brian. I always associated the G run with country and didn’t figure it into the blues, so this is a great to have.
Sweet sounding rig for a Great Lesson! Thanks
Loving these last few lessons to help me look at the fretboard differently and breaking out of the box patterns. These alternate views of the fret board has also helped me focus on intervals which has been a key missing part to my playing. Thanks Brian your lessons and approach to teaching they have been a complete “game changer” to my playing I only wish I came across your lessons 30 years ago 🙂
Thanks Brian. You are a blessing as a teacher.
Another great lesson doing a lot with a little. I needed this one. This helps open up the fret board for me. I will really enjoy playing with this and trying to weave other scales with it. Thanks
Nicely done Brian…Thank you.
This could make a great practice routine.
Navigate from one major pentatonic box to the next by two consecutive “run” maneuvers, keeping the box shapes and intervals in mind, and then overlay the minor pentatonic in the second box.
I think I will incorporate this in my practice for a few weeks and see if I am able to better mix major and minor in all positions.
This was a very helpful lesson! The way you explained it made it easy to incorporate into my playing.
Great exercise for the fingers and muscle memory! I hope you can expand this lesson to a bluegrass lesson that’s not too hard but with fancy guitar picking.
I like that this piece expands the Bluegrass Lick into a solo.
Great lesson Brian. I like that you showed the 1, 3, and 5#s with their locations, it makes it much easier to understand and remember their location and how to change to minors and so on.
#s are a very handy tool. Thanks
Oops I was referring to an older lesson I was just watching. But todays lesson is great too. I can see how I can use the vertical and horizontal runs to dress up songs in many ways. Thanks again for a great lesson.
another very useful lesson!!
Hi Brian, great lesson BUT on the Vertical “G-Run” Slow Walkthrough it’s not playing. Is it me or is there a problem with the video?
Nevermind it’s me
I think the power of these shorter lessons is it gives me time to explore and extend an idea you are presenting. My light bulb moment came at the 11:50m when you incorporated the the mP2 move that I call the “Malted Milk” walk down (on the 3rd and 4th strings). A simple statement and example took me on a road of self discovery for the “G” run and mP2!
This is a great lesson that expands on how I maneuver around the neck. I mostly start with the index finger and slide up but the horizontal pinky finger start is cool too. Thanks Brian!
Hi Brian.. this is great.. I have been trying to learn some bluegrass picking, but it is so fast and I have never progressed beyond the first few frets, so this is really helpful.
Another wonderful lesson ! Really helps me visualize the fretboard in different ways.
Keep up the good work.
Very nice and helpful lesson Rickie Lee Jones’s “Chuck E’s in love” came into my mind. 🙂
So simple yet so powerful. Thank you.
One of your most informative and practical lessons, Brian. Thank you very much.
It doesn’t have to be the g-run lick. Substitute whatever lick you want in there and play it in all the same areas mentioned in the video.
This is a real wake up lesson for me. I have used the G Lick for quite some time, and played it over chord changes in G.
I never imagined using it another key – for no particular good reason!
This will be a very useful lesson for me!
Along with EP596 this year, your lessons have really helped me improve! Thank you Brian!
Wow… Just when I thought I was caught up, I’m light years behind. I’m learning, I’m improving, I keep telling myself that. !!! Thank you Brian!
Diagonal pentatonics have been a breakthrough for me !!! so cool Brian – Thanks
This iz the bees kneez….I’m walking around where I’ve been before…but getting there from a way different spot…✌️🍀
Hey Brian – for me there’s nothing “micro” about this micro-lesson. It’s jam packed with good stuff and I’ digging in hard. Thank you for this lightbulb lesson.
