If you like these lessons, definitely check out www.zombieguitar.com/
It is a one-of-a-kind site dedicated to helping guitarists to understand the fretboard and create their own music. You will love it!!
I’ve been playing since I was 13 am now 29 and you’re videos are the first time it’s really made sense to me.
Where we're you at 8 months when I needed structure in my life
I'll check out your offering, Brian.
Thanks for this lesson.
It brought many things together for me.
@@MyStarPeopleExperiences thank you! Your channel sounds interesting. I'm going over there right now to check it out 🤘
@@zombieguitar Thanks, Brian. See you there.
Imagine how much time this guy invested to record, edit and release this video. You are amazing, Brian.
Thanks Cassio! Much appreciated 😀
Not to mention write the script of what material will be covered, getting all the equiptment set up, designing the grahics and learning how to use new software editors to put it all toether. There's a LOT that goes into these videos that most people don't realize. You know it
@@michaelsmusic3532 thanks for noticing man!!
@@zombieguitar No prob man, I jus HAD to add to the other list because I did a channel mabey 10 years ago and recently I got a new channel up and running. I'm in the process of getting everything together to do some original vids of my own and most people have no idea how much work it is ! You are a partial inspiration to share music because I teach locally but thought that I should film some lessons and do a channel also. Besides your inspiration my other one is Gracie Terezan she writes and plays music and recently has been doing some tutorials. She's good and I seriously have a crush on her, check her out (by searching her name) She's a REALLY attractive red-head mmm ! lol Thanks for your hard work Brian :)

The most unselfish guitar teacher...May God gives you blessings always. Take care.
@@joewalsh8217 well dude he tells u where to go for the non add version so u really didn't listen did u its your own fault bud pay attention in life you'll go farther learn more and be happier with yourself and others!!
@@joewalsh8217 ungrateful
Multiple Blessings for sharing Gods gift of music .... yes !
Totally agree
This dude is easily the best guitar teacher on TH-cam. He doesn’t bother with anecdotal tidbits like licks or even songs. Instead, he provides a programmatic approach that allows you to play with freedom.
Exactly my goal! Glad you are into it 😎
For sure. I have watched many of his videos and I have downloaded many of his videos. They are awesome, easy to understand, clear and concise. Thank you Brian ☺️
Amen. I love watched a few other guys this week and one or two of em would start teaching and say “you know like jimmy hendrix kinda like....” and then go on and play for a whole minute as if I knew what jimmy Hendrix was doing.
@@zombieguitar Thank you for the useful lesson... God bless u
Anytime bro,,,,😎🖒
Took you thirty minutes to explain what I've been trying to grasp for the last three decades. Well done!
only 30? Noob LOL
Agree with you. I played on and off since 86 and always found things difficult. Books then too many shred videos flooding music shops.
same here Twank
I agree Thank ! Just had a similar reaction to the lesson and left a reaction. Looked down and saw our similar names ! Erin go bragh ! Guess we just needed an Irish teacher !
Because he is not showing off his knowledge by showcasing it. He's just presenting it so we UNDERSTAND it, FINALLY someone who gets these videos RIGHT!
He has helped make the theory I had click, not just knowing it BUT understanding it and WHY we are doing it, not just do it.
God! I'm convinced teachers deliberately did not want to share these simple secrets growing up in the 70's. Instead they just taught scales. And chords. Never explaining what you just did in 30 min. Thanks.
Academia literally benefits from pay walls and mysterious myths. The internet, and this is why its so controversial, has opened true music knowledge to millions. Thank goodness for channels like this.
Word🎉
Brian Kelley is a fucking genius that's why lol. I'm super impressed with his teachings. I have to say I agree with you they refused to teach that in order to keep food on their tables.
@@kennydunk did nor want the competition in town. Only so many bars.
@@bingbangbong2552 Lol damn right on that one brother.
You are so underrated my man. No bull just straight information. You've become my favorite TH-cam guitar guy. Thank you so much for all you do
Dude, this lesson is so awesome. I’m an intermediate guitar player and have been on the verge of realizing some of these things. But this is so much of the meat and potatoes of soloing in one simple lesson. Thank you! I’m forever grateful! Thanks for cutting through all the bullshit. You’re a badass.
Same here. After spending the last three years piecing all this different stuff together I came to this conclusion that Brian has confirmed. Thank you Brian. Here’s the kick in the ass though. Today was not the first time I came across this video. I saved it in my guitar lists long time ago and forgot about it then saw it now. I’m kicking myself. Oh well maybe it’s good to find your own way and then have an expert confirm your realization.
The best teacher is always teaching an essence and tricks and let students play by themselves using the approach. You are such a great teacher.
Thank you! 😀
As a guitar teacher, teaching for 40+ years, this is the best lesson structure I've ever seen for learning the guitar solo "roadmap". Hats off to you Brian, it's brilliant. Anyone watching who is interested in learning to solo and wondering where to start. DO THIS! If you follow each week's lesson as suggested it will transform your knowledge and soloing ability in only 2 months. It is a perfect framework for progressing onto other things, but even just learning this alone will enable you to solo over most music, and certainly any song staying in a single key.
Thanks for the words man. I really appreciate that! 😀
Even this rapid overview of the 8 weeks is incredibly useful to me. It connected a lot of dots in my head. I especially liked the way you gradually build out the whole pentatonic scale from the first pattern to span the fretboard and then link in the major and minor scales. You are a great teacher Brian. Thank you for this.
I often find myself jumping around TH-cam watching various instructors and never actually sit down with my guitar to start learning from them. However, this guy’s guitar instruction really seems like something I need to stick with and watch as many times as necessary to start really making some improvements in my playing. Thanks!
Haha! I do that as well, more than I’d like to admit.
It's worth the effort, this channel has vastly improved my knowledge and skill in a short period of time. Way more than any other channel.
I’ve been playing enthusiastically for over 30 years and this is the best guitar lesson I have ever honestly seen. Thank you.
I paid for a guitar teacher for a month and this guy taught me more than In a few min
Seen a lot of guitar lessons on yt, been watching for years and there's some amazing teachers out there, but this is the best explanation I have come across so far, makes it so easy to understand and so achievable, absolutely quality information that will help a lot of people myself included.
Thanks 👍
This is fantastic. I have noodled around with the Pentatonic with the blue notes for a long time...like decades. I always wondered how it extended up and down the fretboard in key. I wondered if it was jumping keys or what. Now I see exactly what is going on. Pointing out the bending notes, the blue notes, extending the scale and adding the #4 position fills it all in. I have never seen the #4 so that will be a challenge as will be finding the chordal tones to accent. Wow is all I can say. Now I have weeks of practice ahead! Thank you so much for this.
When friends developing their guitar skills, (and are progressing beyond beginner into intermediate levels), ask me for soloing guidance and direction....THIS TH-cam of systematically building lessons, is where I send them! Well done, Brian!
A logical, musical series of gold nuggets, chained together to get you soloing, and making fast progress to
a next level.
There is a art to teaching and you've got it.
This is the best guitar lesson I have ever learned...thank you Brian- you are the one of the best guitar teacher ever!
Bro...i will say it again...I've watched EVERY TH-cam guitar "teacher"....YOU. ARE. THE. GREATEST.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE LESSONS!!!
this is the best pentatonic lesson on TH-cam
Actually, he taught you the entire Pentatonic layout on the entire fretboard without missing a single note and you didn't even notice. Yes, he completed all the pentatonic notes of a key on the entire fretboard. This is a really good video and he is a real great teacher.
@@whitewalker608 I agree. The other 3 remaining patterns are almost unnoticeable. Big AHA moment for me.
Best guitar lesson for all level guitar players... well done Brian
Ok, there's a lot of good guitar info on youtube, but Brian always impressed me with his knowledge. As an old man I have to admit to being somewhat put off by the name "Zombie Guitar" After he did a great lesson on "Brothers in Arms" I thought ok.....I'm sold and bought his course. Total bargain. I have pedals that cost more, but learning to play better will matter more in the end. I have no affiliation w/ Mr. Kelly, other than being a fan.
Agreed! Helluva lesson. For free no less. Stuff like this is usually behind a paywall on other channels. Thank you Brian!
Haha ya the name "Zombie Guitar" definitely may turn some people off, but on the other hand you will never forget it either 🤣
@@zombieguitar Now that I've taken the plunge, I think the name is ironic. What your teaching is the exact opposite of playing like a zombie. Maybe that was your intent, and I was just too thick too get it. I am laser focused on learning to chord tone solo, not just noodle on scales. Thanks brother.

Brian Kelly has taught me more in 30 mins then you can learn in 10 weeks, really is great at helping me understand what he means . I already knew everything he was teaching but got alot more out of him then anyone ever, great Kelly you are AWESOME!!!!
This is the perfect lesson on improvisation soloing and learning the fretboard at the same time. Excellent layout of lessons for weekly focused practice... 👍👍👍
Amazing lesson. I’m at the stage in my guitar journey where this lesson reinforced everything I’ve learned and tied it all together.
Exactly the information seasoned guitar players hide from us is what Brian dishes out. Hats off to Brian
Great visual teaching and easy to understand! Thanks!
That was an excellent lesson Brian! Really really well done. Tied up a lot of stuff for me.
Perfect road map, I wish I'd had this advice when I was starting out.
That's no lie. When I think of all the years, now I'm pissed lol.

A friend of mine showed me this "secret" a long time ago. Now I understand IT.
This was just what I needed to pull everything I've learned into a concise cohesive practice tutorial.
Thanks for sharing. Just discovered this video and the associated content. What a great resource!
Very well explained from start to finish! Thank you!
Excellent! This is the best explanation on how to improvise. Thanks for these lessons!
FINALLY...another one of the few dudes that i've been able to find that makes this stuff make sense. Sincere thanks, man.
great lesson, Brian. you put it all together in an easy to understand way. thanks!
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. This is one of the best tutorial videos I have ever seen.
'HELPFUL'...almost beyond words! Thank you very much Brian for your generosity!
Superb communicator, no frills, no BS, thank you
Love it! I really learned something fast & easy! Thank you so much!
Awesome introduction, to what I'm confident will be an awesome series of tutorials. Really excited about the lessons ahead of us all .... thanks once again Brian, and good luck hitting the million with this one!!
I've only watched two of your lessons on youtube and based on the quality of the information on those videos I've decided to subscribe to your channel. Amazing lesson, simple to understand but opens many doors for improvisation. Amazing, keep up the good work.
Why didn't I discovered him before???This is an awesome video, made it so easy. This whole time I have been trying to figure out how to move around the fretboards and watching this video made me love playing guitar again. Also the circle of fifth omg it is now so easy to play chord progression. Thank you so much Brian, love your work keep it up mate.
This is an awesome course! Thank you. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Another absolutely awesome video and explanation Brian. Many thanks as always.
Thank you so much for this, i was getting pretty intimidated and disheartened but i feel like this really opened the door for me
Honestly can't believe how much I learnt from one video. I seem to spend a lot of time jumping between different guitar instructors on TH-cam, but the way you have built up the progressions in each stage it finally make sense how it all pieces together. And your right, those diatonic notes make a huge difference soloing over basic chord progressions. Great videos.
Brian! I have learned a ton of helpful info on all your lessons! Thanks!
What a great video!! thank you so much, you explained the whole thing so well, thanks again
You are amazing buddy, I’m just now understanding my pentatonics and how to start them on what key and where, but this is fricking awesome! You made my life a lot easier with spending less time on theory and more on practicing. Thanks a billion!!!!!
Tip my hat to you sir! this is perhaps the best soloing lesson I've ever seen.
passing it on to my son, when I am ready to.
very cool stuff brian. that makes practicing so much more interesting. thanks a bunch for your time.
what an AWESOME video man - there's so much in this that has filled in gaps I've had over the years. thanks Brian. great stuff.
Brian watching at 4 am S.African time.You are arguably the best tutor on You Tube,also grateful to ALL OTHER tutors who are helping me on my journey.I am a Chronic You Tube troller and always on the lookout for your latest post especially in the soloing category.You are so clinical,to the point.This video is an epiphany for me.Going to try out on my favourite gospel songs.You have unravelled the mystery in such a short time.May God bless you Brother.
I have been watching since 05h00, Cape Town, South Africa. Such a brilliant lesson.
Haha I am late! Watched it 7am SA time lol. Great teacher and great lesson
Brian you‘re really the jedi master of all the guitar teachers here on youtube. 💪🏻
I really enjoy your approach how you teach all these different guitar related topics.
Keep up the good work. 🔥
Fantastic video! I knew most of this stuff in bits and pieces but seeing it laid out in the "roadmap" makes it all make sense!
I love your style man, learnt something new. You sum it all up nicely.
This is legit. Great lesson,other instructors always beat around the bush with this exact thing.finally someone that laid it all out, cut and dry.instead of a piece here ,a piece there.normally you would have to watch 6 videos to cover what the zombie explained here.i love it,this is my new go to channel. Thanks
The B.O.C.Channel jk’
Mate, this is the single best lesson on TH-cam that I've ever seen, Brian you are like Prometheus, stealing fire from the gods and giving it to all us humans stumbling around in the darkness, you are the light bearer my friend, may all your dreams come true.
Haha glad to help 😀
@@zombieguitar touche his comment , honestly you explained this for someone who has been clueless for 20 years
Great lesson and roadmap. I’ve really enjoyed your videos which I’ve discovered over the last few months. Thanks so much Brian!
Excellent roadmap
Love the attention to details while not overwhelming listeners. Really blessed to have stumbled upon your TH-cam link. Enjoying every moment.
Stay blessed!
I’ve been working on the 5 pentatonic shapes plus the “house of blues” shape for the past month or so.... playing over a backing track is so much fun now!
Thanks Brian!
Time by Pink Floyd, has a great solo and I saw A guy play it slowly with tab underneath, and it nails it. th-cam.com/video/jd23mlhr5Ho/w-d-xo.html
Wow! Awesome video man. Needed this about 30 years ago 🤣
Awesome lesson and thanks for sharing your tips Brian 👍
This guide is absolutely superb.
So so helpful 👍
Wow, lightbulb just went on.
Great lessons.
It's like Dennis Hopper is teaching me to shred.
Thank you
It took Adam Sandler to make it click 4 u
Really good video!! It’s sum up almost everything that I have learned so far in a really good way!! It’s an eye opener for sure 😍
Beautiful melodies, Brian. Good job !
This is bad ass, I always tell the beginners to learn AGE. Starting with the G shape aka Pentatonics box 1.
Without question , he has taken the most needed information and put in a package here that is the biggest AH HA moments in a guitar players first 20 year's of playing and made it accessible To almost every single guitar player in the world ! Ive learned more in 32min than in 32 years . Thank you so much Brian . Ill be sending you a pm !!!
That's awesome man, that's what I like to hear!!
Really concise, and easy to understand Brian - by far one of the best lessons on lead I've seen on TH-cam. Very clear and well done, thanks!
Exactly what I've been looking for, for so so long. Immediately liked and subbed!! Thank you so much for the amazing lesson!!
I have played rythm for years and wanted to settle on solo but the solo journey has been far longer than all my practical guitar playing. I learned the pentatonic 1 and then struggled to get out from that position. I was lacking the foundation of the fretboard as described in this video. I gave up on shortcuts and went back learning all 5 positions major and minor. Even then my solos were sounding mechanical as I was lacking the extra notes. Now I know what was holding me back and the best is that I know where to add them. Same for bending. I grabbed my guitar right after this video and all sudden everything made sense. Great work. Last week I started with learning arpeggio shapes and again the concept is too blurry. I refuse to giving away another 3 years trying to figure it out. Can you please make a video like this one explaining the concept of arpeggio scales?
Finally as u mentioned the upper and lower extensions of the position 1 are basically part of the next pentatonic pattern. One more week learning them allows students to know all pentatonic patterns and a much deeper understanding of solo.
This is awesome man! Absolute legend
Thank you.Thank you. Light bulbs going on all over the place.
Wow, brilliant in the simplicity. Thank you.
This is game changing! thank you so much for unlocking what ive been struggling with! youre an amazing musician and teacher, you gained my thanks forever! (also a new subscriber)
If I may add another week. Try to learn classic guitar solos by ear. No tabs. Just your ears and the 8 weeks guide from Brian. Improvising is fun but there is a different satisfaction and learning in getting the right notes and techniques of great guitar players.
Agreed! That is great training right there 😎
Check out Brian's Website on Zombie Guitar. Especially La Grange.
8 week course? I'm in!
i been looking for this wow !! proper simplify thank u this brill best yet winner
Awesome Brian you have a great talent for teaching mate..thanks
Man, I hope everyone that is a newer guitar learner gets to see this video......................................wow
Im new to playing guitar and this video by far is very easy to digest.
Any other channel would've named this video "Learn to solo like a pro in 30 minutes" and I would've just skipped it.
Excellent lessons. I'm going to have to take my time with this. Thanks for the step by step practice instructions.
Another excellent video. Mantle thanks Brian!
its a gret 🙋♂
Congratulations. You've found the holy grail. I hope you find this early in your career and not late like me.
It's always a real pleasure to watch your videos. This one is very instructive and well done. Thanks Brian for your precious advices, from France
Brian, this is great! I finally have a key to open the door to soloing and sounding like I know what II'm doing!
Thanks for your great videos!
If you cannot grasp what he's explaining here you will never be able to play solos ....i learnt these 5 boxes 25 years ago it took me 3 months to really be able to ripp with out thinking not 8 weeks so be patient and do not give up
awesome stuff Brian, thanx for this!
Absolutely amazing! simple, and extremely useful! God bless you Brian!!!
Masterful, man, you put so much together here that integrates shapes, chords, soloing - You humble me.
thank you so much for your lessons I can understand you and my playing is definitely improving.
Thanks Brian, I just found these lessons and they are sick!
Fantastic video, thanks for your work and effort...such an easy to understand method of teaching. Super practical
Best job explaining these concepts on the keyboard. Thanks!
Thanks so much for thr simplistic yet usable information. Regards
I just found this. Amazing. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you...thank you...thank you!!!
Excellent lesson Brian ! I'll give it my full attention the next 8 weeks.
Thanks for all You Do!!
This is Gold! Saved this on the top my Favorites. Brian is Brilliant!!
