Brian, You speak a great guitar truth: "If you master these bluesy riffs, you'll be using them the rest of your guitar life!" 10,000 music lessons in one sentence.
Brian you are amazing and great guitarrist and guitar player.....you take a simple one chord rhythm and you turn it into master piece ...thanks Brian, you are marvelous...
Of all the Guitar teachers, people etc on TH-cam he's one my favorite!! Easiest to understand and knows the guitar inside and out. Hopefully one day I cam afford actual lessons. Rock on 🎸
I’m addicted to the sounds of Boogie Woogie and I’ll master this if I have to live to 100, I’m 69 and taking up the guitar again. Thanks for the in-depth explanations.
I understand what you mean by keeping the shuffle going with the right hand. I think this just took me a huge step forward in my progress. I can’t express how excited I am right now! Thanks man!
Once again Brian sends out a AAA lesson in a clear and user friendly fashion. His lessons are right on for my current skill level. And the sound of that little B&G takes the cake! If I ever join another lesson site it will be this one.
OMG...THE BEST VIDEO EVER!!! This is my speed. You covered the lick in detail, slow enough to follow and then faster for the execution. Hope all your videos are like this. I just can't get guitar teachers in person to teach with this style of instruction.
I hope people are digging this FREE information as much as I do. You certainly do have the presence as well as the knowledge to provide many ideas and show their application . I usally play solo and acknowledge the fun time you can get from a well honed rhythm with fills....... Great Presentation......
Good Morning Brian! Endlich wieder Wochenende und wieder genial für mich! Du bist der beste Lehrer, den ich jemals hatte! Liebe Grüße aus Germany 🎸 Harald
Just finished listening to you for the umpteenth time, you got the Knack, remember them? This is big time stuff your showing us, to the tee. The upstrokes, you da man! These are the building blocks. I'm getting old, man, I wanna . . . I wanna . . . play.
And once again ....a brilliant lesson and so well explained !! Amazingly talented musician who loves sharing his knowledge. Well worthwhile becoming a premium member. Just think over 200 + lessons with tabs and jam tracks (when appropriate) and other learning material. Seriously you can’t go wrong can you ??!!
And this is why I play the drums. You are such a good guitar player and I can’t even imagine doing that. I’ve played in bands and bars from coast to coast but you have a certain touch that makes you stand out. I’ve never played with a guitarist as good as you. How are you not famous? You’d give Clapton a run for his money. Keep up the good work
IMHO - (please read with the most “positive tone”)😌 Brian is one of those clearly “grounded” yet very talented people who doesn’t seem to let an ego, or “shiny-object-blindness,” get in the way of his positive character and love of the music. He certainly is “famous” with those grateful students AROUND THE WORLD who’ve become part of the Active Melody family. 😋 I’m so glad he decided to hang out here with us rather than fall into the trap of “fortune, fame and glory.” We love ya Brian!
A fantastic lesson which I initially thought was way over my head. An excellent teacher can take the complicated and make it simple. You have done exactly that through your carefully considered repetition which puts the musical techniques (up stroke, down strokes, which fingers to use, how the notes relate to the chords, etc) within our grasp. Also, your pacing is such that boredom is definitely not even a consideration (from my perspective). I want to learn so I’m hanging on everything you say and do. I’ll be practising and incorporating all of this into my modest bag of guitar playing tricks. Thank you very much for sharing your gift of music with us.
@@dannymccoy1783 Hi, I can’t say that I play it this well, but I’ve learned a high percentage of it. This lesson has some excellent “incorporations” of other songs: the introduction to “Kansas City”, the F#7 of “That’ll Be the Day” by Buddy Holly, plus rock and roll runs deeply indebted to the Blues. I’m miles (kilometres, if you live elsewhere) from being an expert, but my ear and playing have taught me these observations. I have a long ways to go. Have a good day!
It's in the key of E major. He is using licks straight out of the E-major (0:49) and minor pentatonic (0:59) scale. It catches your ear when minor (0:28) is used over major (7th) chords in blues. That is why almost all great blues players mastered the art of mixing these scales. Same goes for Brian, the intro even starts with mixing these scales.
Thank you for the great guitar lessons you have been providing. I wish I could pay for the premium membership. I am out on an island where no banks or their services are provided. Anyways, I am happy with this opportunity. I am learning. And thank you again.
There are so many fab blues guitar instructors on the tube and I appreciate all of them … but when I watch your vid … it is the ultimate man … you are the bees knees! Gonna sit down with my fave guitar ‘n do this video every day for a month. As for Premium … I don’t do tabs … but know that I liked … subscribed and hit the bell 🛎
You know I followed it chord by chord, phrase by phrase, and now I know a feel I thought I would never have the talent to or skill level to accomplish even a bar, so thankful for your help and time and sharing your SOUL😎😍🤩
"Buddy ,now your at lot of fun .Listening to you teach is very refreshing. You keeped me enthusiastic .You've got my attention all the way.Your a very good teacher.Thankyou for sharing your knowledge .😉😎PS.Your in my Library for now on.
Of all the videos I have kept, this is the one with the magic of my interest. This is great. After this I could check out 'Breathe', that you also teach, but this is no copy cat deal, not that there is anything wrong with that, but this video teaches you to breathe.

Everyone please hear me out! If you are learning guitar you must become his premium member, he has got the absolute best lessons on there and I know this is hard to believe but there is even better pieces to learn on there then this very own beast of a piece! Become a member and I know for a garanteed fact you will never ever look at the guitar the same way! There is soooooo much more to learn it's not even a joke anymore!
thank you so much saying you can make music with just those notes motivated me a lot now i'm practicing some cool blues music thanks to you i've been waiting to start playing such blues for a while now today is the day
I really love those b n g guitars ads and now I believe! This arrangements cool too it's like a mix of hideaway and pride n joy with a dash of originality too... nice
Great lesson, but one thing, when you demonstrate you're not playing it the same as how you explain it. The Shuffle on the A. On the second time around you explain/teach that you finish with 4-2 on the D string, but in your demonstrations when you "take it from the intro" (11:30 as an example) you finish with 4-2 on the A string. Subconsciously most likely because you did it again like that in the final play. Just an interesting thought that, it appears, no one has noticed. I was playing along with you and noticed that my guitar didn't sound like yours on those last 2 notes. Did a rewind and saw that you were playing it differently than you explained it. Still an awesome lesson. Thanks so much for all of you hard work. I've learned a lot from you. Even this little faux pas was an immense learning experience. BTW, it sounds bluesier finishing it the way you do on the A string instead of the on the D. Now tell me that you did that on purpose and the person that found it wins a free membership. haha!!
Love you for this!...I just pulled out my guild d30, I bought it in 1994. It been in the case in my attic and I hadn’t touched it in about 7 years (been playing a seagull mini jumbo acoustic). I restrung the guild with light wound strings, but strung the B,E strings with a heavier gauge. The action on the guild is low and the sound is amazing. This lesson was good for me because while the seagull is nice the action is high and I was not finishing the lessons because hard to switch chords. On the guild I had no problem pausing the video and following your single notes and chords. Valuable lesson for me. Thanks.
@@AccuracySpeaks actually no, it stayed up there for 7 winters and 7 summers. maybe the case kept the guitar neck from warping, I don’t know. Also I had taken all the strings off and loosened the truss-rod. I’ve been playing it everyday now, and there’s no way I’m taking it back up there.
@@romeredubost6971 I'm not trying to be a know-it-all or anything like that, but if it were my guitar, I would avoid the attic at all costs, many instruments have been destroyed in attic (and basement) storage. Sounds like you're okay, and I hope that's the case! I understand those era Guilds are supposed to be pretty awesome. Take care!
@@AccuracySpeaks no, I’m not offended by the advice and concern. I got lucky that it wasn’t destroyed due to my neglect. And when I restrung it and it noticed no damage to the neck, it was like meeting a long lost friend again. It still looks immaculate, and sounds great. Thanks for replying.

The best teacher on youtube. Thanks alote. Nice lesson.
I agree. The best
That guitar sounds amazing.
I was about to say exactly that
Alan Fitzgerald little sister

What brand of guitar is that?
Billy Akin that's the hand made B&G from the UK I think? lots of hand filed brass
I’ve heard you say a few different times, the best music is simple. I love that.
Man this lesson is so good that after 6:30 mins i was already in full boogie woogie mode

You are a badass ,I've know lots of musicians,the only one that came close to your playing passed away at a young age,all your music is great,ty.

Hi Brian , you said it , this piece is gold, I already started with it, it will be a little bit before I polish it , thanks a million .

Love it, Brian. How do you always come up with such great melodies?
