Rhythm guitar lesson - Rock blues rhythm in a trio using the Call & Response technique - EP447

In this week's guitar lesson, you'll learn how to play a fun, driving rock rhythm over a stripped down jam track (just bass and drums). This rhythm style uses the call & response technique as well as playing on the off-beat.

Dear Brian ! Your way of explaining things is fantastic ! You really turned me on to remember why I simply HAVE TO play (more) guitar !
You are such a good teacher ,probably the best on youtube ! (I hope/think your ego can take it !🤗 ) Always uplifting !
Your openmindedness is a true pleasure ,
and the best representation of american mentality !!! Hope that you last for long ! Thanks ! 💖

[@BurnleyNuts]

As a member every week I look forwards to these lessons and learning at least something new. Some weeks the style isn't my thing but most weeks I love the vids. I so love this rock blues and will get this down this next few days Many thanks Brian as always.

[@JaysonT1]

Man, I love this guy's original blues stuff!!!

[@robkeogh4593]

WOW. Haven't had a play for a while. This is going to get me going again.
What a cool sound.
Thanks Brian

[@JMTBFLOW]

Do it Rob 🤘

[@agent_of_cthulhu]

Great lesson and your guitar tone is killer. Thanks, Brian!

[@DaveLackland]

Nice Danocaster!!!!!

[@richardpinferi118]

Thank you so much for these lessons. You're a natural teacher - your demonstrations and explanations are so clear and easy to understand. I've been playing classical guitar for decades, and while I still love it, I really want to expand into blues/jazz/rock. You are making it possible for me!

[@martinmcgimpsey9750]

That is so cool! Thanks Brian!

[@GuitarJoLa]

So cool! I agree with ZZ Top vibe 😎 🎸

[@larryblackburn3109]

You have to be the best I've seen. Good job.

[@TuesdayAt5]

Awesome lesson, awesome tone and vibe, Brian! Definitely had a "Cat's Squirrel" vibe going there in the middle break part. (I was waiting for Jack Bruce to start singing "alright alright alright..."

[@curtisblair9519]

Oooo.ooo

[@curtisblair9519]

Œooooo99oo9999o9 ok

[@spokzwheeler9266]

Wow! I love this one glad I'm a premium member 👍

[@donnyt7799]

Really cool sounding boogie, sir.

[@tableken9143]

Just one word excellent what else

[@chrislehman1343]

Brian, once again one of you comments stuck a chord with me. About thinking about how to use a lick. When I learn a cool lick I immediately find it in different positions and then in different keys. I am sure I have learned 1,000 songs for a cool lick or a technique. I qiuckly forget the song but not the concept. The drumstick comment on the off beast is a great way to think about the off beat as well. Timing is everythging in music. Keep up the great lessons.

[@G.S.W.SewmesomeMusic]

It’s not a gear channel but I love that guitar!

[@kavinguitarcom]

Mr Brian this is amazing

[@jenifercalvillo4668]

Oh I'm definitely learning this one!

[@chasingfretscom]

I love this, Brian! Thanks :D

[@douglaschristine8387]

How you doing Brian? What a groove!

[@activemelody]

👍

[@cgdoublezerorc]

Wow this sounds like fun. Congrats on your "new" Tele. I can't wait to try it on my new Tele! Nashville Player Plus, Opal Spark. I already flipped the switch plate & Volume & Tone knobs. 00

[@michaelmerrullo2043]

It does have that Thorogood sound. There is a little bit of a LaGrange vibe in it and that’s where I can see the ZZ Top connection or John Lee Hooker

[@dav5023]

I'm hearing some Aerosmith Same Old Story in that call line

[@martinmcgimpsey9750]

Sounded like Cats Squirrel by Eric Clapton, when he was with Cream!

[@peetyw8851]

Loved it!

[@martino5150]

Good one!!

[@ojaisherpa]

Guitar envy 😁

[@stanaardoom9945]

Love this

[@13thAMG]

Is that a touch of Billy Gibbons going on there, Brian? Not to mention the real Einstein throw back look this week. Ha ha ha. 😉🤣🤣

[@JMTBFLOW]

Nice one Brian, I'll be giving this a blast in the morning.

[@grahamfreer7157]

The first few notes in the intro are used in Guitars & Cadillacs / Dwight Yoakam intro

[@ShinyFlakesShinyFlakes]

In the beginning, God created the heavens and Brian.

[@caryrodin5360]

I gotta know man, how do you consistently compose such killer lesson pieces week after week? I need to quit my job, work is interfering with my playing time.

[@ShinyFlakesShinyFlakes]

Lol me too

[@caryrodin5360]

BTW, cool video editing too.

[@jerryhall5648]

[@loganblurton6035]

I just came here to say, the opening jamming sounds very billy gibbons - esque.

[@yeetguy211yeet3]

[@williambock1821]

Whenever someone says they’re using their Kemper, they always sound kinda sad and apologetic .😁

[@activemelody]

[@jameswhite1450]

[@lylewallace9022]

4minutes thirty seconds of wasted time at the beginning. Get on with it and save our batteries. I love your lessons but can you please get to the point.
