3 Gospel Style Techniques for Guitar - Gospel Blues Guitar Lesson - EP431

[@WolfStatic]

Great job! I’ve always loved this genre but could never figure out how to incorporate it… This lesson has opened a door that I was previously locked out of for years and for that I’m really grateful. Now the hard work ahead just got much easier… Thank you, Sir.

[@seansmith6779]

I just began my second year with Brian. I just want to say thank you Brian. I went from a completely non musical, non guitar playing 58 year old to a slightly better non musical, sort of guitar player. I find that you offer so much for all levels. As Plato once said; “The more I know, the more I don’t know. Thank you for your excellent teaching and work you do😊😊

[@lguitar8500]

Yep,same I’m 57!! I can play 2 ragtime songs!!!

[@dangquesadilla]

Love the quote from Plato. Couldn't be more true in music. ❤️🎸

[@JackPitts]

YES YES YES! This is the style of playing that brought me to Active Melody! (This and the country leads 😊)

[@ringoheywood3255]

I've been playing Gospel music for more years than I care to admit but this is the first time I've ever heard it broken down like this. Bravo! Don't stop doing what you're doing!

[@atobve]

Brian is by far the best guitar 🎸 teacher on KZbin... this was a great light bulb moment for me!

[@douglaschristine8387]

Your so right Brian, I like getting my lightbulb turned on and if I didn't listen to what makes it work first and then play the composition, I wouldn't get that lightbulb moment or moments, lol. Thanks, I love gospel music . Peace 🕊️.

[@alvinuselton912]

This is massive for me. Thank you 🙏 Brian. Thank you LORD for answering prayers. You are such a great teacher.

[@goldenglowladore3842]

Thank you so very much for opening up a world of fun, bluesy improv and skill set! I'm a beginner/ intermediate player.

[@ShinyFlakesShinyFlakes]

Hallelujah Brian!

[@councilofmagus1750]

Exactly what I was looking for that I didn't know I was looking for. Gospel blues & my favorite childhood song. Please give me more theory, love it!

[@priceamp]

Great lesson. I keep coming back to this lesson every couple of months to remind myself of secondary dominant, using the 4 chord then the 4 sharp diminished instead of the 5 chord, 1-6-2-5 turn around and other basic music theory nuggets!!

[@Maydoggie]

I love this so much because this style is permanently imprinted in my DNA. When I’m hearing a song composition in my head, this is typically what I’m hearing. Now I need to learn how to play it. This lesson is a great start.

[@arranhouston2450]

WOW That was great! These lessons are the best part of my week. Life's been tough recently and these really do keep me going. Thank you

[@MrPhotomiked]

Never fails…every single time a new video lesson appears, I run to my guitar, print out the tabs and go at it. I am not that good a player but your variety of accessible material and amazing teaching skills makes it so much fun! It keeps me motivated and I do feel that I get a tiny bit better every day. And I also want to buy more guitars!

[@lguitar8500]

Fantastic!! I’m a beginner/intermediate (now) , thanks to Brian! Kat !💥

[@xealzy944]

Perfect timing. I’m just after playing for the first time in a youth group in my church

[@stacysdad5071]

Another old beauty of a guitar. And another excellent guitar lesson.

[@MrJ-hs6zi]

Thanks for the teaching the techniques using a familiar song. It makes it easier to remember the melody and improvise.

[@peterodemwingie1490]

It’s a must learn for me. Bravo Brian 👏🏽

[@rickmorgan317]

Everything Brian says in this (and other lessons) is impactful...he doesn't waste a single word. He is an absolute guitar-knowledge goldmine.

[@patrickestwick5675]

Maaaan. You blew my mind with this. Especially taking the 2 minor and playing the 2 Major ! Break the rules indeed!!

[@keithjeaniezachary5768]

Thank you so much for your lessons. So clear and helpful.

[@mandolin-george-uk]

a really good explanation - probably the best ive come across.

[@linkns1]

Your guitar lessons are always great, but I think they're at the best when you're doing gospel music

[@MarinaAlbert]

Great to hear gospel guitar songs as I always wanted to play this style in churches..Thank you so much. GLAD I FOUND THIS CHANNEL.😊😊😊😊❤

[@earlsmith8867]

It's been a long time since I've heard the gospel blues taught and explained correctly when I was 10 my mentor and teacher uncle James taught me the same patterns and fingerings and Brian you've brought back a lot of great memories of my first love, over the years I've drifted way into many other styles of music and I've not often remembered where I begin its been 58 years and I thank you Brian for reminding me of where I begin and for taking me back there again. Brian you're a blessing. Thank you.

[@1974xaviers]

Never heard you singing and you sing so we'll..... excellent lesson.... Thanks 🙏 Brian great lesson......God bless you for your efforts.....

[@tcjensen1]

Alright, awesome. I’m going to watch all your stuff now. Super valuable single videos.

[@JoePariseauMusic]

I love this! It's so hard to find gospel guitar, there's lots of piano but very little gospel guitar. 😊🙏🔥🎸

[@kemigyrl1]

Great lesson. Fun to play.

[@greatsouthlandmike7260]

Reminds me of the old tent revival meetings. Awesome lesson. More please Brian. You my friend are a great guitar teacher.

[@davidmukalay3536]

This video is a gold. Thanks you, Brian

[@ЭдуардКрячко-о5я]

гитара ,настоящая гиббсон!!!! звук гитары супер!!! guitar, real gibbson !!!! the sound of the guitar is super !!!

[@miamiuke]

That Gibson sounds amazing ! Wow.

[@mojojojo1095]

Good lesson would like more like this

[@stevepike3825]

Brian is brilliant yeah I said it! Every lesson gives the basic tune and takeaways we can use ourselves plus where these all come from brilliant ☺

[@charlesgarvin7776]

I really appreciate the gospel blues Style! Your versions of Amazing Grace were awesome as well. Thanks 😊

[@Owensv64]

Thank you for the great variety of traditional music you showcase. Outstanding quality, Brian, and consistently so.

[@Bhh-j2s]

I’m going to let it shine, I’m going to let it shine!!!!!

[@eduardocardenas2478]

Excellent thanks for sharing your talent ❤😮

[@ramiro3732]

Thank you for making it so clear.

[@davidlegalley1161]

A lot of helpful instruction Brian! Thank you !

[@joesteffe6155]

Let it shine is this song

[@JohnMarcell]

My favorite thing about this channel that separates it from every other channel is that Brian teaches how to play MUSIC

[@DocTravis87]

Brian, have you done a lesson or will you consider doing a lesson on how to take a known Melody and making it into a standalone composition? Thanks for everything you do!

[@MindDezign]

Wow Brian "Another vid that slipped under my subscribed nose" But you hit on thoughts I wasn't musically ademot to catch these nuances. You caught them and played them out, Thank you. It's so much clearer with these New Musical Glasses on. I'm always ,Thanking you, for lifting me up another rung on my musical journey ,I Thank You! It's December 2021 so Merry Christmas!

[@atobve]

It was good to hear you sing, Brian.... you're such a good singer😀🎶

[@mikehughes6582]

Great lesson. By the way, you've got a good voice.

[@janetoconnor9365]

Thanks Brian for getting back to me, I'll try that

[@RaffaeleDonisio]

Fantastico. Grazie.

[@timothyarnold9350]

Another great lesson. For me this is the different between a beginning player and a more advanced player when you have moved beyond the basic three chords and start using more colors.

[@denisechetty4019]

It's the first time I heard you singing! And it really sounds good👍😀. Great lesson about chord progression.🎸

[@waggonerfamilyworship5501]

Love this sound!...Had a ah ha moment with this and want to say thank you

[@soniatiwari3579]

Amazing lesson

[@RLB52]

Great lesson

[@AlonzoWhite]

LOVED IT!!! Really appreciated your analysis! I often wondered about the technical differences between folk and gospel. Thanks!

[@janetoconnor9365]

Amazing lesson...more of his please!

[@Robowx]

I really enjoyed this lesson!!!

[@drsteviejasengnsangma8739]

Amazing lesson.. lot of cool stuffs. You not only give fish to us but also teach us how to fish ourselves

[@musicmanhunter1]

Great as always, taught me many things for sure

[@petermwangi-xw6nv]

I am in kenya but how i be able to get the lesson

[@dougdavis8986]

Awesome guitar!

[@jedsettah3372]

I get pulled in to other guitar videos from the sometimes misleading headlines”dude , stop playing scales” 😂but always come back to active melody . What must seem to some like simplistic lessons I find the most helpful as they lead you to explore starting with basics we’ve been given thank you 🙏

[@ralphrounds709]

Yes, please!

[@bjevans01]

Thanks, great lesson

[@mr.mention5308]

Awesome video

[@blindcanseemusic]

loving the guitar

[@johnstrange880]

Your awesome dude.

[@blakeanderson7906]

Love the videos 🤘

[@mikebrown7721]

Wonderful

[@kentaro109]

this is great

[@gregorylyons6993]

Brian, I realize that the more us guitar players learn is always beneficial. However, have you considered teaching a separate acoustic guitar course, and an electric guitar course? As for me, I love the acoustic lessons.

[@RBZ3]

Thanks Brian, very cool lesson. One thing to note is that when you play the triad on the top 3 strings at the 5th fret, it actually implies a C6 as opposed to a C9. It doesn’t really matter but for the picky folks, there you go.

[@activemelody]

Yes! Good catch

[@michaeletok3732]

Awesome

[@graz9013]

uhaoo, la prima volta che canti Brian!!

[@GuitarJoLa]

Great breakdown of gospel techniques, Brian! The way you explained and demonstrated the swing rhythm was a big lightbulb for me, hope to see more "style breakdown" videos like that! ♪💕

[@GuitarJoLa]

P.S. You're a great singer! I always knew that! ;)

[@denisechetty4019]

I am amazed😀

[@jerrywilson4371]

Pretty cool Brian. Song has a G chord a C a D an A a B an E minor a C diminished a C#diminished. I guess an F chord when fouring the 4. What's left? You got em all just about. Nice little ditty

[@RickGtr271]

Really great lesson because I didn't know much about playing ahead of the beat. I assumed that everybody played behind the beat in this style.

[@davidg5629]

It sounds like Hello MaryLou. Gospel is it's source, no doubt.

[@mikeking453]

Black gospel feel

[@gioacchinofasiol839]

Hi, always nice lessons…..and wonderful guitars. How many do you have??😀😀😀

[@frankrogers335]

How would it sound finger style?

[@dankiely663]

Thnx for the lesson Brian! Question… what type of pick are you using?

[@brucegreenwood2634]

Brian--great lesson, I had a blast working on this one! Question: If I'm understanding things correctly, the "5 of the 5"....secondary dominant... is actually also the 2 chord. (same reasoning that the 5 of the 4 chord is the 1, or root. So---is it correct to say that the 2-5-1 turn around is actually the same as.... The 5 of the 5---- the 5---the 1? (I know, pretty clumsy, but if I follow the explanation of how the 5 of a particular chord can create tension, and is musically "good", then it makes sense how the 2-5-1 progression works as well. And, I've conveniently left out major/minor, so if the strategy is to make the 5 of the 5 major (or the minor 2 chord major), then I think it still hangs together.)

[@brucegreenwood2634]

I have no idea why part of the text in my comment is lined out.... sorry about that...

[@activemelody]

Yes, you got it. the 5 of the 5 of the 1 is essentially the 2-5-1 .. only difference is the 2 by default is minor.. but you can play a 2 major, 5, 1 which is also super common.

[@ProfessorJM1]

Beautiful guitar, as always...that a '64?

[@Sgt.Fisher]

Can you do a lesson on save a seat for me?

[@sjeter61]

Hmm I wonder if I can pull this off fingerstyle? Have to try

[@mlienert7]

Love this stuff. One of my favorite gospel blues artist's, Kaiser and Mansfield, my dream is to learn the album, Blues with a feeling. Waving the hand at you Brian from Australia 🤠

[@kurdtx27]

about the 1-4 stuff, in the key of G, the 4 of C is F, will that be ok in the key of G?

[@ianfcheung]

Hey Brian, amazing starter lesson. I’m writing to ask if you have any recordings of you playing acoustic (with this version of this little light of mine) that are in the world? I’d love to hear your instrumental acoustic versions of gospel/Americana music.

[@activemelody]

I haven’t recorded it, other than for this video

[@joannebazzle2403]

Ok how do I get to part two?

[@kylehurley5651]

Would this be how you’d do contemporary worship music too, or is that another lesson?

[@activemelody]

this is really for old school gospel - more of a blues gospel style. Contemporary worship stuff is a totally different animal

[@kylehurley5651]

@@activemelody maybe another video idea in the future then! (Hint hint) Always looking at how others view their ideas in how they play worship music!

[@janetoconnor9365]

Hi Brian can you do a lesson on Jesus is on the Mainline, in this style? Many thanks

[@activemelody]

You could take this exact same progression and play Jesus on the Mainline - that melody fits perfectly over this progression

[@edpetrikk2027]

WHOA…Someone got caught in a …hair raid..👍😊

[@sibonelomavimbela4084]

How to lead using g major scale

[@cripzrus]

Love your work Brian. Just wondering how you enjoyed your Clapton concert? Im sick of reading all the sycophantic reviews and would respect more the opinion of a class musician such as yourself.

[@BrianSherrill]

i thought he was great - voice sounded better than i've heard him in years.. he's definitely still an incredible guitar player.. not as much fire as he used to have, but aging gracefully - and so is his music.

[@neogeoriffic]

Just curious, Brian how many guitars do you own? Great lesson by the way. God bless you😇

[@activemelody]

Hah too many!

[@carraror]

You never ask a guitarist how many guitars he/she has: it's like asking a woman's age

[@gregdziadurski7876]

Is that J-45? Can you tall us a little bit about that guitar. What year?

[@activemelody]

Good eye. 1955

[@BigcatWilson]

How much for the guitar?

[@javierlobillovilela2666]

Gospel = rockabilly

[@AlexMorganGuitarMan]

Dang, that is a nice old Gibson. I think it's a J-45. What year is it? I know it's vintage.

[@activemelody]

55

[@AlexMorganGuitarMan]

@@activemelody its nice as can be. Sounds great to. I love your lessons. Tnough I tend to struggle at times. Not learning the full licks. But the theory behind people your lessons really helped me more than anything. I appreciate your work and look forward to your videos all the time. Though, I myself prefer alot of the acoustic guitar videos to others. Especially blues vids. Being that I don't play alot of electric rights now. I love that old guitar to man. Couldn't imagine ever owning one that awesome and old. It looks like its in great shape to be that old. And you can definitely make it sing nicely, my friend.

[@activemelody]

@@AlexMorganGuitarMan Thanks man

[@AlexMorganGuitarMan]

@@activemelody You're welcome. dang man. I just finished watching this and it's really an awesome lesson. But you've really got me intrigued with this new concept of being able to work in those relitive minor 6 chords. Do you have any links for charts or something you could share with me? That would help me. Keeping me focused on being able to work this concept in. When I want to or feel the need to.
