    This is one of the most important lessons that explains so clearly how to play around the chords and create the big sound we all want. You have the ability to teach the guitar in a very comprehensive way. You remind me of a calculus teacher I had that was able to make complex topics easy to understand. There is no one better at teaching guitar than you.

    Dude... I'm 53yo and been playing the same boring three chord classic country on an acoustic my whole life... I just bought a Squier Classic Vibe 60's and this video right here is gonna get me on my glorious & fun journey to playing more complex things... But not TOO complex! 😂 Thx for all you've posted over the years, dude. I appreciatcha... 👍

      I've just bought a squire affinity tele after like 25 yrs thinking about it lol, I love it. Ive had an epiphone 335 all that time and hardly touched it. Should have bought the tele years ago, they're so comfortable to play arnt they.

    I will say it again on the surface some may say oh that's not that hard to play. But try to play it as well and as cleanly as Brian and you quickly learn it takes alot of skill to play as clean as Brian does. These lessons are filled with great ideas for licks, chord shapes, chromatic movements, bends and melody. Great stuff

  • @dermotfeeney5822
    @dermotfeeney5822 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Linking the caged system, triads, knowing the actual notes with the scales ie pentatonic major or minor… that is connecting the dots !!! Thank you

    Your lessons are really helping me to connect the dots and are well edited. When I wake up Saturday (in The Netherlands) there is a new great lesson waiting for me.
    You make it easy 😉

    This is amazing - lightbulbs going off like the Met gala! You get so much out of basic theory, and helps so much to point out all the ways these licks fit into chords and CAGED. How to do a lot with a little. Brilliant.

    Your a brilliant musician and teacher. I tried one of your lessons years ago when i was first learning guitar, it was on robert johnson country blues acoustic. I was way over my head when i was trying it, but i am glad i found it when i did. Some of those riffs are the bedrock for my acoustic playing now. Country blues is the best!

    So Very Cool, Thankyou. Sorry to be commenting so late on this Video but it is The Most effective and inspirational Lesson I have ever had. Man, I am having so Much fun trying to 'master' it, but even if it gets a bit beyond me it leads me into solo's etc that to me are amazing, hahaha. Interestingly when I started playing/practicing this Lesson on a Tele it all Changed so much for the better although was awesome on other guitars too, of course. Thankyou so much. All the Best.

    Does this lesson ever bring back some dusty memories of the early to mid 1960's! buck Owens etc. Those Steel Licks, back when Country was really Country.
    All that Moldy Oldy, Moaner Groaner stuff. Porter Wagoner wearing their rhinestone and Sequin covered coats jackets and Shirts. Ernest Tubb, anyone else remember that guy?
    But, a great lesson here bending some Strings to get that Sound.

    A great demo, Brian, ticks off a lot of country boxes. Excellent breakdown on pedal steel pushes. Most importantly, shows the usefulness of using chord changes as landing zones when playing leads. If players absorb that one concept, they'll progress quickly.

    I just now happened upon this channel and within seconds of hearing the intro I hit the subscribe button. Super tasteful phrasing, note choice, articulation, and nice guitar tone too. I'm a rock, blues, metal, reggae, punk, guitar player who has relocated to a region where country is king and if I was going to play here, it was gonna have to be country. Ive managed to get by for a year now mixing the country chops I've learned with my usual style as I've been exploring country guitar and I can see this channel will be most helpful in that capacity. Thanks.

    Weeks ago I was strucked by Andy wood (and E.J. licks!) then Brent Manson and eventually searching for a tutorial I came across one of yours (6 years back) and this one today morning traveling on the bus! You are the best sharing some tricky licks
    That killer one I am going to swap the daily guitar for the strat hoping I am not getting tendininoitis (I just tried I am 63 y.o.) my elbow starts aching rigth now... going to stop and find the right gauge/guitar suit for this tough style (I knew other country licks fro the past) and used to play lot of blues but I want to play country either from now on
    I am so grateful to you thank god I found your channel ❤🎸🍀

    @guitarswhiskeyandgolf Před 2 lety +1

    The other interesting aspect of what Brian does is you can approach multiple ways. You can try to learn it note for note with the exact fingerings he uses or you can take the concepts and use it to improvise to the track in the spirit of what he is doing so it's player choice. I tend to do both try to learn it note for note but then also stray and play it different ways
