Michael Allen says
Beautiful tune and another great lesson! Thank you Brian
Jim M says
Stuffing it in my bag of licks. Thank you, Brian.
Ralph P. says
What a gorgeous sound you dialed in. Very euphonias…I could listen to that all day. Great lesson as usual.
Mike R says
Pretty cool. Nice connections to caged shapes. I can use this a lot.
Raymond P says
Brian, I can open the lesson. I’ve tried Edge, Google and Duck and still can’t get on. Any advice?
Brian says
I don’t understand what you mean by “I can open the lesson” – i assume you mean “I can’t open the lesson” – but you were able to leave a comment on the lesson page… so do you mean one of the videos isn’t playing? Soundslice? Tab? Jam track? can you clarify? Also, if you’re getting a message about signing in to make sure you’re not a “bot” – this happens lately if you’re using a VPN – you might try using a different location in your VPN, otherwise disable… OR, you might try either clearing your browser cache, or using a different browser altogether (Google Chrome, Firefox) etc.
Raymond P says
Thanks Brian. I turned off my VPN and now I can view all the videos again. I don’t know why the Norton VPN is doing this now after all these years of having Norton but turning it off seems to have fixed the problem.
Thank you for your help.
Now I can enjoy your lessons.

Another Great lesson. Beautiful sound, interesting song. Thanks Brian.
PJR says
Just what I need. I love the sound of harmonized thirds and sixths.
So well explained. Thanks Brian.
Charles R says
You picked B because it’s a ‘closed position’. I’m not sure I caught it, but I assume you’re hybrid picking the harmonies, especially the 6ths, e.g. the ones on strings 4 and 2. I am thinking that certain keys aka certain closed positions would sound better if instead of hybrid picking I strummed across the three strings of a harmonized 6th, adding an open string to the mix. One because I’m not as strong a guitar player so it is a benefit to be able to add in the hybrid picking challenge later and begin with a simple strum, and two because it’s another voicing and so adds to the musical possibilities. By certain keys I am thinking G and A. Would be interested in hearing any thoughts on this.
Malcolm D says
Lovely refresher on harmonized 3rd/6ths excellent lesson.
Thanks Brian.

I’m having the same problem Ramon is having. I’ve tried several things . I did get through by going direct to u tube. Still can’t get through on a m
Harry B says
This is your best lesson ever, Brian, for teaching us how to play easy listening guitar. There are enough takeaways here to keep me busy for months. It is why I keep looking forward to your lesson every week.
Harry B says
I love how you work the lydian sound into it.
Daniel H says
Glad to see a review lesson of harmonized thirds and sixths. It is extremely helpful when you review previous material but with a new song and slightly different perspective. It helps me “cement” the idea in my memory for recall and use. Speaking of repetition, it would be nice to see a lesson revisit bending and pedal steel looks.. a where and how to apply them. You did one years ago and some reinforcement would be great. Brian- please never hesitate to repeat old lesson material with a new perspective. For me those are the best lessons!
Paul M says
Lightbulbs were flashing!
SubmarinerJim says
A little bit of an explanation of how you were using your right hand would have been useful, hybrid picking I would guess. However, with the knowledge you have imparted in past lessons, I think I can probably work it out, the best way to learn I would guess.. It was a great lesson though, I love the harmonized sounds.

Brian , I am still getting all kinds of crazy stuff when I try to access this lesson from AM. (Great lesson by the way) part 1 will only come in on u tube some times part 2 is on slice . I have tried clearing the browser, nothing seems to work correctly.
Paul N says
Very good Briant. Thanks!
Patrick J. G says
Brian, I’m having the same issue on lesson 1. Lesson 2 ok, sound slice ok. Lesson 1 is utube.
Patrick J. G says
Brian, just played the sound slice which was fine, and now lesson 1 works .
Douglas N says
Best lesson for me in a long time, very useful stuff ✌️🍀
