What a surprise! A complainer of free master guitar lesson. You are the best teacher on the Internet bar none. I am a blind beginner guitar player and I learn a little riff or lick from each and everyone of your lessons. Thank you very much.

You are the finest guitar instructor on KZfaq . Ramble all you want !!

Keep doing what you're doing. The world is blessed by your free lesson

When I was ill 5-6 years ago , I was still trying to play songs on my bed from this guy. I remembered and subbed today.

Mate, your ‘takeaways’ are what sets you above everyone else for blues here in KZfaq land

The takeaways are critical to the lesson! Anytime complaining about them doesn't fully understand what you're teaching. Love 'em.

Complain?! OMG, Brian, please don't change a thing because what you're doing and saying is PERFECT and it works! This is another killer lesson. thank you!

Screw the critics! Thiese are some great 12-bar Blues tips and hints and as a fan of the late Tony Joe White that was a nice nod yoiu gave as well. White's Polk Salad Annie and his Rainy Night in Georgia are all-time classics. Keep up the great teaching.

Don't stop "rambling", the lessons are awesome 🙏..

The best blues lesson EVER!!

Nice job Brian! These kinds of things are great for guitarists to play for their friends. And don’t stop pointing out chord structure, some theory, etc.

Yes Brian, I agree with Jola F....your teaching style is right for me so don't change a thing. I love all of the little extras that you throw in...makes things very interesting and enjoyable. Cheers from K'town, just a little East of you.

The lessons are awesome with all the extra side notes, gets us learning guitar not just a song

Hi from Detroit, Yes don't change a thing, Your lessons are easy to follow and you manage to put a little theory into each lesson that makes sense and is easy to absorb. Some of the best acoustic blues lessons on YT. Thanks

Active melody......making better musicians one arrangement at a time!

Brian, please keep rambeling on, thats when it really gets my dumb brain to start thinking. Thanx. Guy B. Ruskin FL.

I am a simple man..i see active melody posting a new video..i click..keep going man you are awesome

Dont change we love your teaching!!!!!

Great lesson, No complaints here. Don't change a thing! Just had an "It was right here all the time" moment

This lesson just popped up and I think this one is a real good stand alone tune to play on my acoustic while in vacation!

I love hearing theory behind these episodes. If people don't want to hear you talk about certain things, there is a 'skip ahead' option. But there are plenty of us who like hearing the thought process behind, in and around these lessons. Just keep doing what you're doing! Its so helpful.

Best blues guitar lessons on line period

Very very well done. I look forward to all your Friday night video releases. Thanks for sharing.

This is by far one of the best lessons I've come across. Thank you!

That guitar sounds (and looks) great!

This guy’s content is absolute gold. Nobody more consistent on KZfaq!

What an awesome guitar (and playing)! Brian looks so comfortable and natural playing it, that it almost seems like an extension of his body. These stand-alone compositions are like musical gold. Time and time again I have heard even experienced guitar players do nothing but noodle and play riffs and licks in a vacuum when they pick up a guitar, (in a music store, in a social gathering or whatever), as opposed to playing a piece of music. I certainly have been guilty of it. For the listener, it's all about hearing a song with a nice melody and/or a groove they can get into or tap their foot to.

Please, please don't stop "rambling". That's where the value is! All of the extras are the reason your lessons are so effective! I can learn which frets to put which finger on anywhere. Your lessons are so much more.

I don6 often comment, ...as you know.😁👍🎧🎵but I've loved your site?.for years. It's the best, out there.

Awesome just awesome I learned so much in this one lesson.

Love the extras that you add. By far you have advanced my playing by leaps and bounds during my short time with your Channel. I recommend you to all my guitar friends.

Great lesson! I truly appreciate your work, thank you.

Love all your lessons some more than others but if you ever want to do another part 2 lesson I would absolutely love a second part to EP274 ! Man that was some fantastic stuff, old time cry in your beer country, mixing rhythm with some lead melodies and a few pedal steel guitar licks thrown in! 👍🎸🇨🇦

That guitar does sound wonderful! I have a 1928 2-17 all mahogany that my dad left to me when he past in 2008. He had the guitar since 1935 when his brother gave it to him for his 12th birthday. It's a very big sounding parlor guitar. Cool side story about this guitar, I took it to Martin back in '06 and showed it to Dick Boak (Martin's historian) and he showed me the original log for the year 1928 and looked up the serial number. As it turns out, this guitar was the 5th from the end of that days completed builds and it was noted that those last 5 guitars were 4 string tenor guitars and had shipped out as such in August of that year. Well, he was knocked out to see it had actually been built as a 2-17 and suggested that they most likely ran out of parts to complete these as tenors so they made parlors! It was very cool to see him write in the log that he had seen the guitar and testifies that it is and always was a 2-17! I dig the history of stuff like that. I think it gives instruments a little extra mojo. When stuff is as you say, loved on, I think it gives love back and ghats a big part of the sound. In my case that 2-17 makes me sound better then I actually am! Thanks for another great lesson and letting me share. Peace

Ramblin, I got ramblin on my mind. Great lesson! I knew a lot of this stuff, but now I can put it all together and make it tight.

Brian - bloody brilliant! Thanks!!

No changes needed..….. additional fluff Is good. Another great lesson Brian.

Another Outstanding lesson!

your take aways are the best part ....your doing great thanks

Looking forward to this one. Your BLUES catalog is soooo good. Nice to have Pt. 2. I'm a subscriber and it's the best deal for note to note accuracy. And yes, we love the audio voice takeaways. No fluff at all, you're just greasing the wheels. Thanks.

I was literally about to comment to ask the year of the guitar and if it was a 15 or a 17. Beautiful. Love all the wear and tear. A bucket list guitar for me without a doubt.

I agree with @Jola F. You have the best lessons I've watched on KZfaq. Please ramble on all you want. Because there are bits of priceless musical knowledge within everything you talk about in your videos. I love that old Martin, by the way. Dang does it have a monster sound. For so small of a body, guitar. Its not only loud. But rings like a bell. I can tell. I bet a note or chord would ring for close to a minute. Should you want it to ring all the way out. I love it. I'm looking to get me an old vintage guitar to play as my main guitar for some time. Just never been able to find and afford one yet. But when I am able. I'll keep those old Martin's in mind.

Thank you. I learn a lot from your lessons!

You Go Brian Sounds Great !!!!!!

Just found your channel! You are killing it man! Thanks!!

Saw this vid a while back. Coming back to your acoustic lessons now. Progress ! Ta fella, hope you and yours are well.

These tutorials are good. I have been learning for three weeks and already I can play a few tunes. Still a long journey ahead.

Premium member and loving it. Not complaining. Don’t change a thing.

man i gotta say your the best teacher out here on music

your awesome for doing this!

Love it. As always.

Going to London to see Eric Clapton next month, cant wait. Learning this while i wait. Thank you :D

I have the all mahogany 00015 martin and love the tone and playability.

Brian , another great lesson I always get a take away from your lessons .. thecbase line turn around will be added to my jam... hope you have a great 2022..

Ohhh God.. that's what I was looking for!!!!! Thanks a Lot Maaannn!!!

Brian the best tutor

Brian, Your brilliance seems to have no ending. As I've said to you before, I'm a producer and I am constantly astounded at how you continue to keep pumping out new original material. One of my crew is a talented musician in addition to working for me as a recording Engineer. She has a dream of going to Nashville one day. I truly hope she is able to connect with you one day. All the best.

as always awesome

Awesome Brian

Keep rambling!! Just signed up for the whole year!! Lovin it. bboy

Damn lol only if i had time to learn all ur solo arrangements! Soooo gooooooood

Wow that was awesome,you are great player

This is the one lesson site I joined- and I am not disappointed; another excellent lesson.

Man that’s smooth

Your fingers are so well behaved.....🇺🇸🙏👍👏👏🥁✌️

So cool 👊🏻

Thanks 👍👏

BTW, there’s this (very talented to me) guy, Justin Johnson, posting some great driving rhythm videos. Hope you would consider some lessons on that style.

Hey Brian, I love your so called rambling but I call it teaching and it's a tutorial, right? So, All your lessons are the bomb even if country and ragtime isn't my bag you still have the magic to keep me interested. Rock on buddy. Thanks

Another fab lesson , please keep your format , very learner friendly.p.s. Could you possibly do a lesson maybe on ways to utilize the melodic minor scale in a blues or a jazz idiom.cheers.

I don't think you ramble at all! I think this is a great lesson and your method works perfect for me! Thanks!

Hi...Brian... Do not cut your takeaways and your note by note... Thanks Brian for everything..you are doing a great job

Thanks a lot

Hi Brian, ditto many other comments below - please don’t change a thing! 😊

Awesome

nice guitar

What brand guitar did you use for EP303?

I'd like more videos like this...

ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 🐾 " stealin' a few lick ", thanx, King B.

Another GREAT LESSON. Here's an idea for another... How about doing a lesson on some dissonant sounds similar to the song "On Doing An Evil Deeds Blues" by John Fahey where there maybe some riffs and dissonant sound for people who want to use them.

Could you do another David Gilmour Lesson, inspired by the Division Bell album. The last dive, was a long time ago, I think EP105.

Those 2 dots on the 7th fret threw me off for a little while 😀

great

I like this but when are you going to give us a lesson on using a looper Brian????

Hi Brian. Your lessons accelerate my progress. I really like your arch top guitar with that tail piece. What kind of guitar is that? I have a Telecaster and a couple of acoustic guitars. Am keen to buy an arch top with a tail piece. They just look so awesome. Thanks again

Niiiiiiice!!!

You do ramble bud.....but , hey your real, so what the hell. Thanks for your input, into our lessons.

Brian, I am a member of active melody (beginner) but I’m having problems reading some of the tablature notations. They seem very complex with pull offs, hammer ons, and so forth. Using my membership on Active Melody, I tried to get in-depth descriptions of some of the tablature notations but I can’t find everything. Is there a more in-depth lesson I can find? Thanks so very much. Bill…

Are you a session musician in Nashville?

Cool

asking what martin is that

That was cool, but I'd like to hear the same tune, but with an electric guitar...with some overdrive 🤘

The extra stuff is the real "guitar stuff" the real playing. I hope you leave them in. The base song is great and the extras cannot stand alone but I think they are the real knowledge here. I've been playing long enough that they are pretty straight forward but the extra stuff is what I like to learn here.

If your not a Premium member of this guys Active Melody lessons page...You should be. it's ridiculously affordable and what is inside is way cooler and has way more insight and information than what he puts on U Tube. The price (if you don't know) is amazingly affordable and it's for a year!!( I think it still is..LOL)...Go check it out...And you'll be thinking you should have done it a while back. It really is affordable. I think June will be a year for me and I'll be recommitting for as long as Brian and active melody is available..I've learned tons and am just now really starting to be able to play his styles (Which are wide ranging). And from being here...I can watch some of the other great players teaching on U tube and think.."Yeah..I know what he's doing now..This guys style of teaching is just unbelievably different and cool...Always a LOT of things that apply to so many situations... Wish I would have committed sooner...You are very generous with your talents Brian... Thank You. EZ (Sorry for the Rant)...LOL...

What does that mean Key of E? Is it still in standard tuning?

Blind brian melody!

Don't take away the Takeaways!!!!!

Constructive comment: The pace of your lessons has definitely increased, and you seem to do less recaps. As I've got better, I can keep up with you but am finding the 'science' bits distracting (during the lesson). How about a micro lesson after each main lesson gong into the science and showing where else it can be used? That being said, I love this tune and I'd pay the membership just to get 3 of these a year

EP303 and EP305 worth the annual membership alone

Продолжение следует ! - сказал мистер Брайн , и выпустил вторую часть урока : )))
