G/day Brian,
This is a great tune to grasp the finger picking way.
Making good progress already.
M.J.
That really is fabulous and straight forward. After some time on Active Melody I’d just like to say how much I appreciate your teaching style, both visuals and words. Calm, complete, and informative, with just the right amount of constructive repetition both within individual lessons and across lessons. Great job Brian.
Good to see some fingerstyle. Thanks again.
very cool! enjoyed this lesson!
Thanks for a slower tune to work on!
Brian I am so bogged down trying to catch up some of the main lessons that I tend to overlook tuesdays micro lessons. every time I remember and come here to see what you have I keep finding wonderful nuggetts of musical inspiration and information and this one is a beauty. Thanks. Ive just got to put more time in! JohnStrat
Brian: Why do you choose to use the G# instead of the G for the walk-up/down? It seems that it can be player’s choice, so I am just curious as to your thoughts. Thanks.
Great stuff, Brian. I know you have a few lessons on this style. But it would be really cool to see one developed that added more of some of those things you do beginning at about 5:30 into video two. Cool stuff. I’m really appreciating your lessons. Thanks for the great lessons!
I like that 12-fret guitar. What kind is it?
I’m learning or wanting to learn Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Tommie using a thumb pick. Struggling with the thumb pick Dunlop M or any other type sticking out to far. And thinking I should sand it down some, I do my own guitar setups too.
But I finally sanded one down so it only sticks out about 3/16- 1/4 inch. Wow, it is nice now. Increased speed
Anyone is having problems with thumb pick try it
Or does everyone know this already 🤔
