    just purchased a guitar after not playing for 32 years because I quit smoking and I always wanted to have a guitar again so I treated myself 🙂. Now I found this channel and I'm blown away how easy it looks when you play, so I purchased for a premium membership at your site. Thank you for motivating me being very nice and calm.
    Greetings from Germany.

    These lessons are hands down the reason I am playing blues for myself and enjoying it. if you really want to invest the time to learn and play, these guys will get you from A to B in the fastest way.

    WOW! What a great lesson! I took a year of frickin guitar lessons trying to learn blues lead and my "teacher" let me run up and down the A pentatonic for a year trying to "find my own voice". I kept telling that knucklehead I don't have a voice so just teach me someone else's voice but no, just kept noodling around sounding like an idiot. I learned more in this video than I did in a year! Awesome job!!!

    Fabulous lesson! Your “buffet excess” example is perfect, and your small but elegant solo is the perfect starting point for those of us struggling to get past that point in our playing. Please continue explaining all the many small licks that you throw in between chords, as they are the mortar that holds your elegant playing together.

    Wow! Mind is BLOWN! stumbled across this lesson looking for something else. Ditched that idea and just soaked in what you're showing. My key take away is...getting my mind and fingers to "sing" the solo and phrasing instead of trying to hammer through some notes trying to MAKE a solo. short singing phrases! wow! THANK YOU!

  • @redmed10
    @redmed10 2 года назад +1

    I love the thinking behind this lesson. It is so easy to get overloaded with information as a beginner. It's so easy to do loads of things but not take the time to really learn them well so they stay with you. So often you learn something, forget it, go back to it, forget it and so you get stuck in this vicious circle. Repetition is the key. You've got to enjoy the repetition or learn to enjoy the repetition.

    I’ve been playing guitar for over 57 years! I am 67 years old. I’ve always played by ear and never ever ever taken a lesson. I just recently started taking lessons from a local teacher. I find myself being more frustrated in between lessons then I want to be but… I realize this is part of the path. You’re struck such a note with me with your message at the beginning of this about the Buffay and seeing shiny stars but never feeling satisfied as If you’ve eaten a complete meal! Walking maybe crawling, is necessary. You’ve given the permission, and I now feel great just playing in my little box knowing I will evolve! Than you!

  • @jimferguson7503
    @jimferguson7503 5 лет назад +5

    Your comments are "spot on" Brian regarding focus. I wish I had great teachers like you when I bought my first guitar over thirty years ago. Back then it was private tuition and books but the learning process was slow and frustrating. The Internet has changed all that for the better.

    Been watching a bunch of your videos over the last few days and want to say, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!
    I think I've learned more than several previous years of stumbling along and now have had several confusing things explained better than ever before . You are an awesome teacher ! Thank you . I'm 66years old and started taking guitar lessons when I was 8 years old and I've never felt like I really could play until I came across your videos a few days ago . I'm hooked again , feeling like I'm finally truly understanding the guitar in terms of MAKING music instead of just regurgitating it . Thank you !!!!!!

    Awesome teaching !
    No words to thank you !!!
    I had learnt all the scales but they always seemed to be scales without sounding melodic.I searched a lot on RUclips but couldn't find a way to make them melodic and you made it seem so easy and simple.I had even asked my guitar subscribed tutorial guitarists about posting a tutorial on how to make scales seem melodic and today I'm so,so lucky to have found your tutorial on it.
    This is why ,I do not have enough words to thank you for this wonderful tutorial .
    Thanks once again ! :-) :-)

    I have to say I have used those notes for years while playing blues ( and other stuff!) in a band in the UK and now France......but not like that! I gave it a go and it fits all through the song! Thank you for an amazing tip showing you are never too old to learn!

  • @rodnocker505
    @rodnocker505 4 года назад +2

    Idk what kind of snobs would leave 414 thumbs down but Man I’m glad I found this video! You are awesome. I just learned these notes in this bb king box earlier today but the other guys video didn’t have phrasing explained like you do on how many different ways to use those four beautiful little notes. It feels so good to here myself play with feel as a beginner. Thanks so much!! The way you teach has convinced me to sign up for your premium lessons. That says a lot bc I’ve watched endless videos where guys just didn’t have what I was looking for to validate joining their premium lessons. You break it down so easy man thanks again!! I love the blues!! Exactly what I’ve been looking for bc I was getting very frustrated and overwhelmed and losing interest.

    You're absolutely right about information overload and the resulting fact that it leads more to confusion rather than any meaningful understanding. I have decided therefore that I'm sticking to your courses and resisting the temptation and habit of jumping about all over the place. I'm already seeing results and I've only been at it 2 weeks. I've learned more and consolidated my understanding more in those two weeks that I have in ages. Thanks, Brian.

    Maybe the best single lesson on phrasing on the entire internet. Thanks! I'd heard that the major pentatonic scale works best over the one chord, and the four and five chords sound best over the minor. But I think you have lots of options once you start noodling around. Good stuff.
