  • In this MicroLesson, I'll explain how using triads can make a huge difference in the way you improvise a melody, and how to combine them with the pentatonic scales.

    This micro lesson teaches more valuable information and techniques than most people’s macro lessons!!
    I love those chromatic walkdowns you use at the end !!

    Best YT guitar teacher.. but can we take a second to appreciate how Brian is one of the best players on YT period! I don't care about shreddy licks, and sweep picking. I care about melody. I care about phrasing. I care about composition, and creativity. Brian has that mastered!
    No exaggeration- one of my favorite players ever. I can't express how much I appreciate Brian's playing! Coming from an SRV/Hendrix/Clapton nerd, that is a huge compliment.

    I agree with this. I started learning triads when I was 14, and it worked for me learning to play lead.

    This is a great video to understand how and when to incorporate "double stops" in your blues-rock soloing. Even just adding a few of these techniques, including sliding into the double-stops, can make the single-note pentatonic soloist (the typical intermediate player) sound more bluesy and legit.

  • @espedale
    @espedale Před 5 měsíci +2

    Excellent lesson! You tied everything together beautifully. I think the secret sauce is showing the actual application of the triads concept with a jam track. That, and you have a great ear!

    First of all thank you so much for all of your online content you’ve made a world of a difference in the last 2 months of my playing and improving.
    When we are supposed to mix triads with major and minor scales, do we imagine the triads as their own chords, but laying over the pentatonics/scales of the keys root note? or do we swap scales with the chord tone we are highlighting.
    Thank you again for all your teachings!

    Wow, great stuff, Brian!
    And, I'd sure like to have (or even just play) some of your guitars!
    All those years ago, I thought being a musician was a "dead end job."
    To me, it depends on how good you are, ie, how well you play.
    Of course, that in itself depends on how much it drives you. Because, if you're driven (like I am), you'll practice all the time, and you'll always work hard to keep getting better!
    (Which is what I do.)
    I can only wonder how good I'd be today, if I hadn't taken a 30+ year hiatus, lol.
    Still, I'm better than I was a year ago, and I see progress weekly, sometimes daily!
    Especially with your lessons!
    You're an excellent teacher, and many of the songs you've written to illustrate a concept have helped me in ways that I can't describe.
    I always learn a lot about playing when I learn the songs, and I continue to learn when I practice them!
    Often I'll add to them or change them in places.
    As I get better, I'm more confident (and better) at modifying them. Sometimes I'll go around & around, playing something over & over (with my own transition to begin again) and I'll play certain sections differently each time.
    This is all helping me to improvise!
    All on account of your teaching me theory and improv "secrets."
    See, you (and most ppl) thought this comment was all about me, lol.
    But, I brought it back around to thanking you!
    👍 👌

  • @p.errant5452
    @p.errant5452 Před 5 měsíci

    I'll echo what others have said: This lesson is micro in length only. I think my guitar playing just jumped a level. Brian, man, you give me hope that I might actually be a half-decent guitar player one of these days. Please keep doing what you're doing. And a very Merry Christmas to you and yours!
