Brian absolutely does NOT talk to much. Everything he says is educational. There are many other guitar teachers on line that talk too much. Brian isn't one of them. One of the best on line teachers. We are fortunate to have him.
I would say your talking/explaining is 95% of the value of your videos! That‘s the cool stuff which we learn from. The song behind it is also nice but only an additional value to the important content. Thank you for your work and keep it coming (I am a member since 5 or 6 yrs)
PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE SOME RESPECT , This is a Lesson theres going to be talking thats the hole gain behind the lessons ... BRIAN DO NOT CHANGE A THING... best instructor iv found ...
I have known a couple of musicians who could play your ears off but they were disappointed that they didn't understand the inner workings of why (theory). One of them actually called himself a 'parrot' because he played what he heard but couldn't come up with anything original - he doesn't know why it works. If you don't want to learn anything new, you probably don't belong here.
I looked all through the comments section and couldn't find where it was that anyone said that you do too much talking. I don't think so, unless I'm having a bad day. In which case I would keep it to myself. I have to admit that this is one of the best lessons I've seen on RUclips. This lesson could add a splash of color to a great many compositions that I think any song writer would appreciate. You're creating upper extensions, which is an invaluable tool to viewing the guitar from a more pianoistic perspective. I like the way you explained that. I've never heard it illustrated that way before. It makes it very simplistic.
I find this lesson extremely helpful so thank you so much! And whoever said that you talk too much. Well I just couldn't disagree with him enough. I find it very useful. It's also the way you explain things that help me see it clear and logical
Great song Brian. As a full subscriber, I come here to learn about what’s going on in the music. I spent too much of my playing life just learning songs from tab but not understanding the theory or why behind it. Don’t change your lesson style as it’s fantastic. Since joining Active Melody early on this year my playing has improved dramatically. Thank you
Tell me what we are going to do, then show me how we are going to do it, and then tell me WHY we are doing it this way! Words from Nick Saban who knew a little about how to teach! I taught in professional school for 45 years so I know a great teacher when I see one! You are a great teacher! Keep it up!
Great lesson to drive this point home. You have briefly mention in several other lessons how this relationship between a 6th chord then slide down a whole step to a 9th chord works and how it is depended on the under lining chord, but this lesson really drives the point home. Because of you, I use this relationship frequently and understand why!!
Man.. you talk so much that I continue to watch and save most of your videos so that I can watch over and over. This is another example of a great video with incredible information that can help us understand the guitar and ultimately make us a better player. Brian, you are a great player and a great teacher as well. I don’t believe that there are many out there that do both! Please continue doing what you do! Thanks!
Hi Brian, don't let the few people who think that were here just to play songs bother you, their everywhere, just do your thing because we're listening. Peace 🕊️.
I love the songs but I always come back for your explanations. There are sooooo many instructors out there, everyone can pick whoever finds most useful. Please don't change your style!
Awesome lesson as usual..someone said you "talk too much"?? Those are ppl who dont want to learn. How do you learn without an explination? Guitar to me was very complex to learn....until i started watching you. The not only breaking it down note for note....thats only half of it....explaining where those notes come from is the KEY to learning..i greatly enjoy your teaching style, progressions, note choices, AND EXPLINATIONS!! Keep up the great lesson, dont you dare change a thing.
Hey RUclips lurkers, stop peeking through the keyhole! Grab the premium key and step into the full music hall. I waited too long to join Active Melody as a premium member-don’t make the same mistake!
Brian's creative juices are flowing as always. Making us in awe of the composition and playing prowess whilst making us all green with envy that he has such a beautiful Gibson. 😍🤩
Your "talking" makes my subscription an absolute bargain. I listen to the explanation again after learning a lesson as I find I can take it in easier than when trying to master the actual playing.
You should go over the theory as to why it’s an A9. Must people watching do not understand that the b note denotes the 9. And it’s an A9 because you have gone past the note cycle since you have a dominant 7 (the g note)
Could anyone recommend some of the easier lessons? I'm going through lots of lessons that I like the sound of, but it's difficult to know what may be simple or not. Thanks in advance
These are great lessons. Thank you! But the "too much talking/not enough talking" debate is becoming divisive. If I could suggest a compromise: less talking and more mime? :-)
I agree, it is a great video, telepathy might be useful, learn every advanced music theory and application all at once. But then Brian the guitar/music teacher would have to charge a few thousand dollars each transmission. Same as you'd pay for a three year course at a top guitar academy like MIT but revealed instantly and unforgettably. 😊 Somehow it doesn't seem half so much fun as learning the theory and techniques we learn by repeating a few times then exploring these ideas. In that long process we eventually find our own voice on the guitar. 👍
Actually that's an odd thing, how a whole year group of MIT guitar students who all attended the same lessons can graduate after three or four years and all sound completely different. Blindfolded I reckon we could identify various famous players Eric Clapton from Peter Green, Frampton from Prince, Vai or Hendrix.
I keep coming back to this guys lessons hoping to find something interesting but every time it's just the same old chit chat that is totally unnecessary.....just teach us the patterns and notes Brian.
I enjoy what you have to say - don't pay any attention to the cork sniffing haters in these comments. If you don't listen to the explanation on this one, you are missing out on one of the true gems of music theory that is easy to learn even if you don't truly understand it. Just play and enjoy !!

Agreed!
To the person who commented on your talking - it’s called teaching. I find it useful.
🤣

Anyone can learn licks but understanding why they work & how you can use them take your skills to the next level. Keep on talking Brian!

The best guitar teacher on RUclips .
What a BEAUTIFUL 😻 lesson!!!

That’s because it was just posted… they’ll show up trust me. See above 👆(top), already started 😂

Great video! It connected so many dots for me. Thanks so much for taking these concepts and breaking them down into easy to eat bites. Thank you!
Hi Brian. There is no doubt in my mind that your channel is the best guitar tuition on the net. Please….. keep doing what you’re doing
Great song Brian. As a full subscriber, I come here to learn about what’s going on in the music.

Great lesson! That Western swing sound is SO groovy. Thanks Brian! 🎸👌
That Byrd can sing! Gorgeous playing!!
Thank you Brian for the new understanding of the F# minor chord. (light bulb moment)😀
Dearest Brian,
Your lessons are absolutely fabulous. Please don't change a thing. You're the best guitar teacher on you tube. ❤️🔥🎸
That’s one of the nicest Gibsons I’ve ever seen!
I like when you mentioned to have "built the chord into the lead" . That is a clever way🙂.
Johnny Rivers Memphis Tennessee is a good example of this too. Another awesome lesson as always. Thanks again!
Amazing lesson, I had been struggling to use minor triads and this just opens a whole new door, and simply explained, thanks again.
You are the best Teacher and Guitar Player.
Tell me what we are going to do, then show me how we are going to do it, and then tell me WHY we are doing it this way! Words from Nick Saban who knew a little about how to teach!

Outstanding video. Yet another mind opening lesson
Beautiful thanks so very much for breaking it down and explaining the way you do. ❤️🕊❤️🙏❤️🇺🇸😎🎯

That was a very cool lesson, thank you I never would've guessed those chords worked together like that.
What a great lesson! Thank you for your patient and detailed explanation
Just subbed!!! You are very helpful, and your ideas are terrific. 👍👍👍
this would of been an expensive lesson and its for free... Thanks for sharing.. Knowledge is great.. Thanks
Talk away Brian. Another great lesson
What a great lesson, thanks you Brian 👍😎👍
Brian, you don´t talk too much. Please keep it going . Thanks. I agree with guitarguy richard56 coment
Hi Brian, don't let the few people who think that were here just to play songs bother you, their everywhere, just do your thing because we're listening. Peace 🕊️.
I love the songs but I always come back for your explanations. There are sooooo many instructors out there, everyone can pick whoever finds most useful. Please don't change your style!
Excellent!
Anyone that complains about a channel is free to start their own it just take a camera and talent.
Excellent, again. 👍🏻

Brilliant 🤩 🎸
I love this sound
How do you not run out of ideas arrangements etc? Another great lesson!
sometimes i do!
@@activemelodyi dont believe it 😂
Hey RUclips lurkers, stop peeking through the keyhole! Grab the premium key and step into the full music hall. I waited too long to join Active Melody as a premium member-don’t make the same mistake!
Clapton's Byrdland still knows how to make the sweet notes, sweeter! 😍
Nice feel
Brian's creative juices are flowing as always.
Making us in awe of the composition and playing prowess whilst making us all green with envy that he has such a beautiful Gibson. 😍🤩
I love it .thank jou
thats a sharp looking AX there Brian
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Stones use this concept in the song Waiting on a Friend.
Would you do a video on how to learn a solo by ear
The b9 shit is pretty cool. The c# denotes the 9. Since the A is there which is the dominant 7th of B major.
By the way Brian, what's the brand of that beautiful guitar you're using.
Gibson Byrdland
thank god its Briday
Your "talking" makes my subscription an absolute bargain. I listen to the explanation again after learning a lesson as I find I can take it in easier than when trying to master the actual playing.
You should go over the theory as to why it’s an A9. Must people watching do not understand that the b note denotes the 9. And it’s an A9 because you have gone past the note cycle since you have a dominant 7 (the g note)
I would lose the vast majority of people (including myself). I’m really only interested in creating these sounds
Could anyone recommend some of the easier lessons? I'm going through lots of lessons that I like the sound of, but it's difficult to know what may be simple or not. Thanks in advance
These are great lessons. Thank you! But the "too much talking/not enough talking" debate is becoming divisive. If I could suggest a compromise: less talking and more mime? :-)
🤣
Awesome, don't stop "talking."
Now, if a six, huh, turned out to be nine
Oh, I don't mind, oh, I don't mind
If you didn’t have the G note and added a B note to the A chord it would be called an Asus2
It took you this long to figure this out?
I don’t make videos in the order of discovery.
i like that you talk too much, guitar is so difficult, the extra guidance helps a lot!
Tell them about the 6th or 7th not is from the root note make it short and sweet show everyone
Dont really understand one cord on top of the other confusing
you're in luck! i made a video about it - see above 👆
good vid-dont talk, use telepathy...

You must not have watched the video
@@activemelody i watched the first few mins until your incessant talking started

Good. Just keep playing pentatonic box one. You’ll be fine. That’s why most of the people who come here can play circles around you.
