    You're unbelievable. How is nobody else teaching like this. Maybe I'm not paying attention 37 years and never have seen anyone break down concepts like this. You have a true gift ❤️

    What can I possibly say about Brian and his teaching that hasn't already been said. There are a lot of great guitar players, teachers, and instructors here on youtube that I do watch... Uncle Ben, Justin Sandercoe, Marty, Brett Papa, Rick Beato, Guthrie T, Mark Z, Tim Pierce, Guitar Pilgrim, Paul Davids, etc., etc. But, hands down, for me, Brian is my absolute favorite, and for sooo many reasons, but just want to recognize, not write an essay. Thank you for another great video. I had a lot of fun improvising over this.

    Thst bass guitar and drums is killin it, that is so funky my man, and when demonstrate how to fill in those licks on guitar simply fantastic, you show that the licks don't have to be all over the place and l like how near the end of the lesson you show how all the licks can be played, good instruction!!!!!!! I'll be learning this and see how l can put this information that you gave to use

    #1, he does not do this for free. Brian is selling a subscription course, one to which I subscribe and one that is worth more than the $90 a year that he charges. #2, you should subscribe, you will find a wealth of valuable lessons and you’ll find it the best $90 a year that you spend. These CZcams videos are all only a part 1 of if a bigger lesson. Trust me, you will get a lot of value of what is the cost of three in person lessons from your local instructor.

      #3. Who said he does it for free? #4. What are you, his manager?
      I would imagine, living with you is like one long, educational, but unwanted lecture.
      How would anyone watching or subscribing to this channel cope without you to
      explain it all to them?

      You don’t watch much youtube do you, there are hundreds of guitar sites, many just as good or
      even better than this one. If they didn’t do the videos they wouldn’t attract the paying
      customers, it’s promotion, it’s part and parcel of their overall operation, to make money.
      In fact there are some sites that are completely free and rely on people donating to make
      it worthwhile. You may as well now post the same comment to every guitar site because
      it’s no different for any of them.
