As a player I think Brian's technically brilliant; he also has a natural gift for teaching, and he keep's knocking out storming compositions like this.

I took your advice and learned this song on my electric with plenty of reverb, delay, and tremolo--sounds GREAT! I could almost hear Jon Foggerty "Running Through the Jungle" to join me.

Wow, this is fantastic! We need more of dropped D lessons!

Been an Active Melody member for a year now. I love finding great Easter egg lessons like this one. Thanks

Thoroughly enjoy these lessons. You’re like the friend everyone needs who is better than them. A lot better, and still will jam and noodle with them. The only way I learn anything. Thank you.

Never knew this was a thing, first discovered my style 20years ago. I played drop D heavy blues.

Great lesson Brian. Do you know they had this article about the ten top you tube guitar lesson teachers and you weren't the first or on there at all, I was hurt. They had some guys that I'd rather not say but your the best and we all know that.

I love these slow bluesy tunes, especially when they aren't too difficult. Keep them up!

I love listening to you play on each lesson...I don't always "keep" the lesson in my queue, but even when the music isn't up my alley, I enjoy your playing it through at the beginning. Really glad that's become a trademark. This one is a keeper!

Wow really love this one Brian and tons of time on my hands to get this one right. Thanks for keeping us busy, wishing you, your family and your dog( who is also family🐶) good health and safety during these crazy times!👍🎸🇨🇦

This is awesome, I love it! Thank you so much Brian for inspiring me picking up my guitar week after week...

Oh man, such a sweet sound. And not over complicated. Great stuff!

My word this sounds proper dirty blues. Love it!! This will be my first ever drop d song I will learn. Thanks again!

Thank you so much!!! Your explanation and breakdown of exactly what you are doing is incredible. How you don’t have more subscribers is beyond me as I believe many would benefit from you. I am spreading the world brotha. Thank you!

Great lessons ... love 'Drop D' and 'DADGAD' tunings on an acoustic ... it brings out the best of rich, deep, dark tones. I'm a Premium Member and enjoy your teaching style and ideas!

I love this Brian… you are an excellent teacher by the way.

Love this lesson!! I've known drop D for a while, but this has broadened my knowledge and given me ideas of what I love doing: mixing rhythm with lead. Thanks

I love this! Been working on it since you first showed it. I'll take all the Drop D you can conjure. Thanks Brian.

Been playing standard tuning for years. Started Drop D a few years ago and I’m hooked. Great lesson, thanks!

I love how you teach, thank you - tried drop D before, but you made it make sense to me

Bang on as expected especially when it comes do blues. Thanks Sir

Brian, I have been following your channel for about a year and learned about 10 of your pieces. This is my first comment on KZfaq since forever, but man am I impressed at how you come up with and teach these little pieces. I have been playing for about 20 years and always found it's very difficukt to find good and easy to play stand-alone stuff for guitar, well the search is over! It's like you distill the essence of the styles and genres into these compositions, it takes a lot to be able to do that. This is not the stuff that would necessarily impress your guitar-nerd friends (although we all know that you could play waaay fancier stuff), it's the stuff that just sounds absolutely fantastic on guitar and can be enjoyed by anybody. When I play one of your pieces to my 5 month-old daugther, she smiles and giggles, then when I attempt an insanely difficult piece à la Joe Pass or Jonathan Kreisberg, she's just like "wtf you're doin there dad?". Says it all doesn't it? Thank you so much!

Marvelous! Just Marvelous! Discovering Drop D. Thanks.

Preaching to the choir, sounds great. Love blues based anything. You nailed it, it sounds good on acoustic, it sounds good on electric! That’s when you know it’s good. Good lesson, and beautiful guitar! Love open string stuff as well, people over look that aspect.

I love this. Thanks for that. Warm greetings from Germany ☺️

thank you for the good job your share with us ;it makes me improving a lot.thank from Switzerland hearing from you soon again

Oh yeah, awesome! I LOVE that drop-D tuning sound, it's got that cool swampy vibe :) And this composition will complement well the other lessons you have in this style on Active Melody. Thank you, Brian!

Never a bad boring lesson Brian.

Jesus Christ I've been trying this forever by myself for years. After watching the video. It took me about 5 minutes

It's beautiful thank you so much you are so talented!!

just fantastic!!! Thank you...

Grand Video! You're doing all great videos lately.

I play alot of drop D and open D. Love the lesson

I can believe I am actually sounding like the video. How fun is this. I can’t wait till my fingers don’t hurt anymore as I but my guitar down 10 years ago. But this is huge progress. Thank you 🙏

I love this lesson. I've been looking for ways to add more drop d. 😎😎😎

Love this lesson thanks💃🎶💃🎶

Holy shit Brother.. I know this stuff and I knew something was off.. found this.. wow.. you rock. Im trying to go back to standard E for "raise you up on eagles wings".. needless to say you probably gather it's SUPER important I don't screw up. Thank you for erasing the need for tuning apps. You are awesome. Hug to you!!!

Aside from all your lessons being great (and they are thank you so much) your sound is always superb with all your great guitars. I find tone to be inspiring sometimes and all your lessons have tones that spark stuff for me. Thanks again

So good! As always

Love it! Great stuff!

You’re awesome!! Great lesson

Great video! Thanks so much!

This is right up my street Bri, loving it, cheering up my isolated ass plenty! Thanks dude 🤘😁

Love this one. Thank you

Would you believe I started lesson 226 of yours today. I have just got back into playing guitar after doing myself a serious hand injury. Fingerpicking is a still a little bit tricky for me ATM, and I was hoping you would have a Drop D lesson with more if a strumming technique. Fast forward to this evening and this one popped up. Its almost like you are spying on me 😂 Thank you so much for your upload, you have really inspired me to start playing again. Stay safe in these crazy times, Much thanks from Australia.

knocked it out of the park again !

JUST heard you start to talk about drop D :D hahaha! That's why I'm home, thank you so much Dude LOL

Great video's, that Martin guitars sounds awesome for a small body I'll be trying this video on my new Martin d 42

Love more of this ❤️

Outstanding!

You've got some great videos!

Love drop D......its noodleicious...

Nice Brian. I was hesitant about that drop D but it sounds good

It would be a good idea to give a brief rundown on the guitars used in your vids. They are always cool. Thanks for the vid

I love it!

Love it!

Oh man, I loved that

It's got a bit of a Waylon and Tony Joe White vibe. Thanks!

Very cool thanks

That Marty sounds great. Great sound

Great lesson Ta fella 👍

I'm inspired! Gotta dust off the Long Haired Country Boy- Thanks for the great lesson

Awesome!

Nice Playin... thanks!

Eres el amo del blues we... Todo lo q se de blues lo aprendi de ti.... Le añadi el soul... Me gustaria q agas un cover de SOMTHIG OLIVE DE JHON MAYER lo arias genial

This really reminds me of tear my still house down by Gillian welch from the album revival

Bro, that was fun. your intro . Me playing next to it. Fun.

Dang that sounds 👍good!

Oh yeah so cool 😌

I've never played around much with Drop D, but this has me going straight to the guitar and try. The Martin was a great choice too... sounds amazing that one. But then, what Martin doesn't?

Just Waaaaawww sir... From India.....

HEY, BRIAN HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF MORE ADVANCED LESSONS FOR SOME OF US? THIS WAY WE CAN BYPASS A LOT OF THIS EASIER STUFF TO GET TO MORE OF THE "MEAT" OF LESSONS. GREAT JOB NO MATTER WHAT. THANKS

Very nice and cool sir 👍👍👍👍

Thank you I'm learning this. Well I'm going to try to anyways.

Just Waaaaawww... Sir

Awesome

Double D drop tuning is awesome also.

Magnifique

thank you

Great! Really!

Just Joined Thanks

Drop D is always fun.

I stepped away from the screen and thought holy cow John Denver. So close. I bet at 3am you sound just like him. Way cool.

Tx. Bro

Reminds me of Black Queen by Stephen Stills

nice!

Ty.

And it sounds even more amazing if you finger style it too

Cool

Thanks Brian Please teach some more drop d or drop c techniques

Brian - I bet this whole song would sound great using a slide. Any chance you could work that out and teach it? Thanks

🔥

Dark and swampy.........that's Drop D. Before I opened this video, I was messing around in Drop D last night....

Nice lesson, Brian. Thanks! Which strings are on that guitar?
