JFL says
Sweet lesson Brian! Man oh man…is that a new to you 175? A dream guitar, good on ya!
JFL says
Ah, I see it in use in previous lessons. Sounds great 👍
Brian says
I talk about it at the beginning of the 2nd video
JFL says
It’s so good on It’s own. Having it from the previous owner is pretty awesome. I’d love to one day have a 295.
Torquil O says
Those 175s are sweet!
San Luis Rey says
Love it Brian! Just tying things together with chord shapes and scales. Another one straight to favorites.
Mark H says
Wow to both parts. I need to get up earlier and work on guitar.

Super lesson Brian, love the chord progression.
brian-belsey says
A very nice lesson composition! The ES175 sounds great too.
Jeffrey T says
Love it. Great background track too.
Jim M says
Brian, is there no end to your creativity. A wonderful composition and lesson content.
Barry Marsden says
Brian this lesson is great and has set me looking at EP205 as well as the neck diagrams in the section on arpeggios in the lessons section. I can see from the diagrams that the notes in the cord shapes are included, but what are the other notes and how are they related to the cords? For an arpeggio can you play these notes in any order?
Barry Marsden says
Sorry meant Arpeggio diagrams in the course section
Erwin says
Nice lesson
Andre H says
What song from Modern Times Brian? I also see the CD there in the video! Best, Andre
Brian says
the B part of Spirit on the Water – that change is amazing
Andre H says
Ha! I thought it was Spirit in the Water!
Dale G says
Thank you Brian, this is great!
Charles R says
Methinks the Brian doth protest too much.
When you’re playing G Mixolydian over Am that is the notes of C, but Am is the relative minor of C so it’s also the notes of Am, so you are playing the chord changes when you’re playing G Mixo, no?
sciencefiction says
Great lesson, Brian! Just the explanation of the first 4 chords was worth the lesson.

Lyn C says
Another amazing composition- sounds kind of jazzy to my ear. And, finally figured out what you mean by playing chord changes vs. staying in the key of the song. Nice one Brian.
kennard r says
I like it!
kenny says
this is one of my favorite lessons
sunjamr says
Great lesson, very fun stuff. I had fun expanding on the chord sequence to bring in some more jazz chords and add the 4 & 5 chords. My brain wants to hear something different continuing on after the A#dim7 chord.
David G Smith says
Great jazzy composition and a great lesson, but just as I think my music theory is improving you blow my mind with your fantastic knowledge. Lots still to learn.
James L says
That is a cool sounding song and not overly hard to play.
Ned N says
Amazing creativity Brian. Awesome lesson. Lots to build on too. Thanks. -Ned
Josh R says
This is a lightbulb lesson for me!
Thanks 👍
maurice e says
I loved this lesson reminds me of a 1940`s dance band sound
great sound Brian
Gaylan A says
Hey…great lesson. Curious though…G#dim7? Trying to figure out the chords as well, and I thought that would be an Fdim if you’re first finger is on the 4th string F.
Brian says
G#dim7, B dim7, D dim7, and F dim7 are all the same chord – same 4 notes in each of them.
Buster89 says
So much good stuff in that lesson, notes wise and rhythm wise. My favourite part is at 9:50 on first video when Brian said he did not come up with all the licks first time around. Gives me hope !
Barry H says
Thanks Brian, just what I need to the fingers and the little grey cells working. Just getting up to speed after a couple of weeks!!
Greg W says
This lesson is great for playing licks to the chords.
I would love to play the chord first with one strum then the associated lick and so onl
How can we find out how to play each chord?
adam c says
I really enjoy learning this piece.
pschlosb says
Well, you say you’re not sophisticated but you’re probably alot more sophisticated than most of us are Brian! I am continually amazed at how detailed
and in depth your lessons are week to week to week and you just keep putting them out every week over the years. There is a high volume of output, but
the quality is excellent, they’re all unique and freshly creative on their own. I have learned so much over the years. Thank you for what you do Brian!
Gene S says
EP466 a very good lesson for me, Thank you.
Jerry R says
Brian does it again! A great lesson. I think the Am section in part 2 reveals a bit of devilish humor😊. I can just imagine him saying to himself “have fun girls and boys”. But maybe I project too much. It’s not the number of notes but the timing of them that is a real challenge. In his unpretentious style he makes the lick seem so simple. He carefully breaks it down but it is to me very challenging. Quite a learning experience. Thanks
