And that’s what Saturday morning is al about pure genius from a great teacher. Thanks Brian .

These kind of lessons that you do. OPENED it all up to me. Thank you Brian 👍👍🎸😎

Great job as usual Brian! These lessons are why I’m an Active Melody member...oh, I love BB too! In my opinion he is probably the most influential guitarist ( and musician) in the blues rock genre ever. This lesson is very well articulated and yes, a lightbulb has been turned on for me! Thanks for this one Brian!

There are DOZENS , maybe hundreds , of really good guitar teachers on KZfaq - but only a handful like you , my friend !! You have all the great feel and technique that makes you a master , but what sets you apart is your humility , your easy to understand lessons , slow , clear video editing and most of all , your joy of teaching others out of the pure love of guitar music. Combine that with the desire to better others - so they can enjoy the satisfaction of being able to have fun playing cool-sounding stuff - WITHOUT months of boring theory or mundane exercises !! You do have great classes for that as well , for those seeking professional-level playing , but you are in a class of precious few that are humble and truly enjoy getting others learning to play cool-sounding stuff right away. Thanks for what you do !!

You said, "Light Bulb Moment": anything you post for me is a light bulb moment! I'm always grateful for your content and your wealth of knowledge, even at times, theory wise it maybe over me head, I pick up bits and pieces as I go.

Brian that's the best B.B. lesson I've watched. it finally clicked switching from minor to major. That's the sound.

What an awesome tutorial! I'm one of those 40 something guitar players that has been in "campfire song" limbo for the past 15 years. This has helped more than anything I've ever tried! You're a great teacher! I won't be frontman for Double Trouble anytime soon but I can FINALLY freestyle on the neck a bit thanks to you!

Just heard the BB tutorial. I learned a lot about mixing minor & major scales. Your teaching methods are exceptionally clear. From someone who teaches & played guitar for 35 years.

Thank god. So good. Really appreciate this one man. You're right, total light bulb. 🎵💜

Also, BB lessons on your channel are a big hit because you play and explain the lessons very well. I always have a new perspective from viewing your lessons.

You gotta luv it! Steven Spielberg teaching BB King. Just joshin man, thank you, just subscribed.

A wonderful, detailed, brilliantly explained lesson Brian. Thank you so much for your generosity making these lessons.

Great lesson Brian. Love it. Very much a lightbulb moment. Please do more of these BB and Albert King house patterns. Very helpful with mixing major and minor. Again….extremely helpful!

Most of us Blues guys are moving toward Jump Blues and Bee Bop. BB swings it, he was one of my favorites. Him and Larry Carlton Thanks for what you do 72 years old and cranking it up Peace Los Angeles

Yes! it's clicking...thanks. I am a member

B.B. King plays guitar the same way he sings, that is so true! He was one of those guitar players you can recognize instantly.

This should be standard curriculum for any aspiring blues players. All i know is learned something here....thanks brian

As a quite good keyboard player, now learning guitar, I found this really helpful, talking about the shapes, and the short phrases, really helps me start to understand BB's style - thanks so much !

I've got about a hundred of yours in my Active Melody email folder. Another good one. Thanks! Saw/heard him live three times. Undescribable, can't be recorded! Truly the King of the blues. No one better! 🤘

So happy to find Active Melody. I'm a premium member but am jamed up with copral tunnel right mow, picked the guitar back up after 30 years.

Man, Brian ~ this was a great lesson! The whole thing was a "light bulb" experience for me. This really clicked. Thank you SO much!

I’ve seen videos on the BB Box before, but this is the best one yet because of the way you blend minor and major with the licks and still keep within the context of the backing track. Makes it much more ‘musical’ and has made me feel more confident to try when improvising myself.

This is the best way I’ve seen this explained and goes a lot further than any of the videos which just focus on the box.

Brian always inspires me, he's like the neighbor you wanted to live by!!

This is finally clicking for now I’m watching this over and over and using the two pentatonic boxes with bends etc… THANKYOU THANKYOU

You were right with my learning pace with this one.

This is so simple but good. Shredding is technically brilliant, but this says more. Thanks Brian.

Thank you for that move on this lick! This my day light to be turned on yeah!!!!

What a blessing. The 60 second vids are perfect 👌🏽 thanks man!

I remember hearing BB say he uses 8’s on his guitar. Said it was simply lees work for him. Makes sense.

I knew all of this before but the way you explain it is so clear. It makes me ver excited for those who are only just discovering this magic. Breakthrough lesson for many, I’m sure. Amazing teacher!

Big ole floodlight. Thank you

Outstanding lesson… Leaves us with so much to add into our improvising… Into our lead playing, thank you Brian! 🎸🎶

Wow! What an absolutely inspirational tutorial! I have been stuck in panic mode and straight to pentatonic box 1 for about 5 years now but have just sat for an hour jamming around with all these shapes and, although I say it myself, my ideas and solos sound so much more interesting now. Thank you so much for showing us how to join those three shapes in such an informative and clear way. My wife even just said it sounds so much better than what I was doing before after just an hour. Brilliant!

This is really excellent. Thanks! It's interesting that BB King saw himself more as a singer than a guitarist, which you can see when you listen to him sing.

Thanks Brian. Great fun! So many 'simple" licks. I'll be going over this for a while to pick it all up and then get up to speed. More please! Many thanks.

This was definitely a big Ah Ha moment for me. Thank you for turning on this light.

Nice, thanks Brian! It's all making sense and I can see the patterns on the fret board.

A great lesson I am now out of a rut with my playing.

Awesome lesson, I've been looking for something like this for years. What a difference with just a few well thought out notes. The bends are just perfect, playing this in the next jam night. Thank you.

Super brian super brain. God bless you pal.

This was an excellent lesson and explained a lot of the nuances of the BBK zone. Thanks Brian. Here is a tiny detail regarding how the BBK zone relates to the CAGED system. When moving to the 8th fret position (minor pentatonic, position 2), and your 3rd finger is on the A (second string,10th fret), you have moved into the D-shape of CAGED. Since this position is minor, you can see the open position D-minor shape in the scale tones.

I knew all this, buts it is a beauty to watch a pro make it look so effortless. I will practice again tonight.

Great lesson explained well

Fantastic. A great way of visualising BB's soloing technique. Will be sitting with this lesson for some close reading. Thanks!

Yep Brian, it clicked! Awesome lesson, best guitar learning I've had in quite a while! Many tnx...

Awesome lesson! Definitely opened up more for me. Made a quick look and played the position and jammed for over an hour!

LIGHT BULB LIGHT BULB LIGHT BULB

Yes yes yes, good stuff brother! Many thanx! (yes, grammarists, I know)

Can't help but to be excited with this lesson !!

I've watched so many videos on the box and this made it finally sit so well. Thanks so much for your time

Definitely clicked. Best BB decipher ever. Thanks

thanks it a huge help. john

Very colourful and rich, love this Allmans type Jam stuff and learning the principles of it!

Everything you teach seems to click with me. Thanks Brian

Definitely bookmarking this one for reference good to think notes and intervals while having such a good example to watch!

Superb! Another brilliant lesson on BB's style.

Fantastic lesson. Super clear as always. Thanks Brian.

awesome BB King Lesson! Nice Gibson ES 335 Dot too!!! ; )

So many light bulbs coming on I gotta wete shades 🇬🇧 cheers 🍻 👏

Great lesson. If I may make a suggestion. Hill Country Blues/ Cotton Patch Soul lesson Droning & percussive fingerstyle style Similar to RL Burniside or Junior Kimbrough. The type of stuff where the thumb is consistently playing bass rhythm and other fingers are playing melody. Ex)See my jumper Hanging on the Line by RL Burnside

Great tone here

Thank you!! Really taught me something!!

Lightbulb moment for me, thanks Brian!

Awesome insight with tasty riffs. Great touch. Thank you for the short cut to better independence

You are able simplify the most difficult licks wow thank you

Definitely dig the BB lesson, I like all the videos you do! I always Look forward to your stand alone comps too! 👍

There's so much you can do with a few notes in 1-2 centered aereas. It's the way to emphasize them. Great centered-twiddly-sweet spot-stuff! And again, some theory wrapped into a song. 👍🎸😇

The triangle shapes super cool thank you

definitely light bulb moment for me! many thanks

An outstanding lesson! Thank you. 💡💡💡💡💡

Brian...This is clicking with me. Thank you sir!

Thank you very much for this lesson. And, men....how it sounds this beauty!!!

This was so helpful and as always, very well explained. Thank you for all you do

Great lesson. Thanks from Madrid

Fantastic lesson. Thanks

Another golden episode ❤

fantastic. You have explained it better than anybody else.

Thanks for your help. I waited too long to learn lead but your are helping and I appreciate it.

Fantastic. I'm a BB fan and a Brian fan. Makes for a nice lesson especially in connection with the Guide to the Pentatonic scales you put out in EP 436. My wife gave me a membership to Active Melody for Christmas last year. I'm already lobbying for a renewal this year. Thanks for all the light bulb moments.

Yeaaah! Happy to see a vid again, especially BB! Great to get the blues feels in songs. Learning a lot with your tutorials! Thanks!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Superbe course Brian. Thanks a lot !

Brilliant, thank you Brian.

Fantastic lesson. opened the door for me, thank you.

Best BB Lesson ever... Thank you

Sounds just like something BB would play, but he made it look so easy. Thanks for the lessons.

Great BB lesson. All your stuff is great. Highly recommended

Thanks for the The side by side minor to major blues houses triangles demo.

Love your visualisations , usefull stuff as always!!

Perfect lesson. I finally got a B.B. in my pocket. Thanks

Thank you so much. This was so helpful since I LOVE the blues and BB king. It’s so simplistic, but so nuanced at the same time. it was great how you broke it down since I’m good as seeing patterns as well. I actually play with inverted strings like Albert King or Eric Gales, so I need it broken down like this so I can develop my own approach to it 🙏

Brian you are 💪💪💪

Perfect as always.

Sweet lesson . Thank You.

Yes, Brian, light bulb and a half! Many thanks!

Another light bulb moment for me! Loved it. 👍

One of the best video lesson of yours Brian! Really understand the mechanics of the BB playing at last. I would like hearing intervals too as fret numbers, Im more of an interval guy lol. Thank you for this great lesson.

Your videos are great. Very helpful. Tx

Really awesome. Valuable.

Super lesson, thank you
