I dont even care about the lesson i just wanna hear this man play guitar.

[@kentcarlos]

Aside from the great classes, I just enjoy listening to you play. Thanks Brian.

[@waynesulatyski2430]

Jesus brian! Dont downplay the beauty of simplicity!! Love it!

[@antman6495]

Thank you, I disabled percussionists, picking up guitar at 66 must keep music in my life, your a great help, will drop off tips on payday YOUR A GREAT TEACHER 😊

[@briangardner5905]

Just starting to play lead, though I have been a singer/songwriter since the late 1970's. Love the track and your playing on this one. Never have been "afraid" and have always enjoyed lead guitarists that play pretty much the pentatonic leads. I find they "speak to me" very clearly. Thanks for all that you have made available - helping me already. Brian Gardner

I’ve “mastered” maybe 8 lessons now (my version of mastered. Won’t be on the radio any time soon). I played this for my wife last night and she was pleasantly surprised to hear me say with some confidence that this will be my next project. I told her that there’s no question I can play it, I just have to put in the time. AM has been great for me. Equal parts of leadership, inspiration and confidence. Thanks Brian.

[@scottl5935]

Brian, you are such a classy player. You cover so many styles but always shades of Clapton, Knopfler, Cale. Can’t wait to dive into this lesson! 🙏

[@johnryan527]

I'm trying to look at it but the whole thing just locked up like a Catholic schoolgirls mom's method of protection the pureness of said define being created from Adam's rib

[@JaysonT1]

​@@johnryan527 What

[@stevereynolds547]

What?!

[@colej3360]

Brian, as a member of AM I am just blown away by the quality and consistency of your lessons. What would be really cool is a video of you composing a lesson from scratch including the writing and recording process for the piece and backing track. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great work!

[@dsteinweg1]

Great lesson! Showing us the bend from F# to G# on the second string unlocked so much for me. Thanks!!!

[@Gene_Cali]

Thank you Brian. It's always great to add fun licks to our repertoire. Play On!

[@johnwarren5492]

You are very honest about where you picked up some of the licks. That is appreciated.

[@meeno_the_man]

Yes! So fantastic to break down a lead like this. Builds so much facility. And it’s wild how much clearer everything instantly is compared to a year or two ago when it was still hieroglyphics.

[@buddysims1366]

THANKS I LEARNED AND REMEMBERED A LOT> I SEEM TO HAVE FORGOT MORE THAN I KNOW AFTER REACHING 88 yr

[@chrisdempsey3321]

I would like to see more of this kind of lesson. No one does it better. Thank you.

[@robertfkaz7013]

Loving this style of lesson. So thorough and helpful. Once again you’re a fantastic teacher Brian! Thank you!

[@dieselman7453]

Cheers from Ireland Brian great stuff thanks ,,, Brian 🎸🎸🇮🇪

[@mountp1391]

Thanks! Now I can do myself

[@guitarswhiskeyandgolf]

Brian's picking hand in this is the star he just keeps the hand in motion so brilliantly

[@peterclune4770]

515 lesson is really good i will sign up for the other half, the jam tracks are a must have.

[@stevereynolds547]

You..., you are a great guitarist. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@kahuna154191]

This intro to this is absolutely incredible

[@frankortega4280]

Really cool lesson Brian. This is so valuable and I can’t wait to work on it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@5StringRob]

Barnacles! 😂😊😅 Much maligned critters, it seems. Great lesson as usual Brian. Love how you explain where the notes come from, and identify the barnacles.

[@ordini8950]

You are the real boss, Brian. Greetings

[@TommySG1]

Hello Brian, This is one of the best lessons I've seen in some time now man.....Very cool and thanks.

[@peti802]

Brian, nice job. Very usable material. The little riffs are great building blocks.

[@fishzebra]

Fantastic, I'm having great fun playing this, I had neglected major pentatonic too much, and so much can be taken from basing improv on major but dipping into minor. The 3 major chords give this an overall Mixolydian flavour too.

[@MarkSmith-rc8bx]

Hi Brian. Great tune, great lesson...So fun to learn/play... Thank you for all the lessons... You are one of the best guitar instructors out there and my favorite for sure...

[@jshu1625]

Great lesson ...I am having a blast with this....just the kind of stuff I love to play ...rockin country twang with alittle stank on it..Thanks for helping me with my chops! Goog day sir!!

[@michaelmerrullo2043]

That's some cook in' stuff! Can't wait to dive into this

[@leonard4054]

I get in a rut, watch Brian from Active Melody, rut busted! Thank you so much!

[@Dlee966]

Perfect lesson for me right now. And some of this I already know I just needed the reminder 👍

[@coolliamvlogs5231]

After watching this several times i would have to say that it is pattern 3 of E major pentatonic vs. position 4 at 5:18.

[@jonstephenson5436]

Great stuff man! I do like this style of analysis. Especially with styles that have a few chromatic notes, or things that follow the changes. I am better at seeing how “out” notes fit in than I used to be. It was really perplexing for quite a while. But when you explain things like a flat 7, the push and pull between major and minor, flat 5, etc., a beginner can start to understand the function of each of these. Well done!

[@moeb4348]

It looks like you are having so much fun Brian!

[@pedroamaro9403]

Brian you are a mazing 😊 to teach as i❤ you my friend THANK YOU SO MU

[@SchmittycocoPop]

[@stevehoulihan1692]

[@beatleleebailey]

[@denisechetty4019]

Love all these sooo useful and cool licks! Now I need to learn all of them! So much fun☺️🎸👍

[@jameshough4640]

Some of those licks reminded me of a rockabilly I been trying to get.

[@AMaj7Sharp5]

[@brettsbluesguitar3892]

You are the best

[@jeffro.]

Brian, you are HOT coming off that 500th episode! And with this one, you're coming in hot! This is a good one. I hope I can play it! I'm just commenting after seeing you play the intro.... Can't wait for the rest of the lesson, I'll get back to it now.... Ok, now I've watched the whole part 1 video, and I understand it, but it's gonna take some practice before I can pay it that fast! Can't wait to see part 2! This is fun stuff! (I'm headed there now...sure glad I'm a subscriber!)

[@bjohnson515]

now that's good music.!

[@jeffro.]

Ok, Brian, you've shown us how to play in the key... ...and how to play the chords ("play the changes").... So, now you're showing us how to "play the barnacles?!" Got it! 👍 👌

[@georgewilkins4231]

Marvelous.. I'm on it.. Bit by bit... Many thanks....

[@jimmyfeudale9578]

Your lessons are so good!

[@pktdbgnzwl]

Fun ! Gonna try this right now !

[@Bazdavies1]

Awesome stuff. Thanks for the lessons.

[@TuesdayAt5]

The beginning to this was screaming Gary Rossington's Call Me the Breeze solo... 😊

[@sergeybogdanovich7019]

Super Brain 🍀🙏❤️🎶🎼🎵✌️👌🎸

[@ShinyFlakesShinyFlakes]

Classy

[@arranhouston2450]

good lord, man. the neck almost caught fire

[@davidsummerville351]

Great stuff!

[@dieselman7453]

Sounds epic bro 🇮🇪

[@owenanstey436]

Impressive

[@danmcnamara7782]

Brian, this is amazing, truly amazing. I'm a paying member, but this "mini concert"you put on here is worth more than the price of admission!

[@cm9779]

Good Stuff!👍👍

[@dbguitars]

I have had an AM sub. off and in, when I get a chance I will be back.

[@WeThePeopleMaricopa]

That Tele is 🔥

[@stephenbouchelle7706]

I wonder if you do studio gigs. You have so many different styles in the pocket, and all so fine.

[@johnnybumpous9108]

love it !

[@ajdc88]

nice! thank you!

[@ST-xg3gy]

Oh yeah!

[@digibeatle]

Brian, your lessons for these and related video are some of the best! I am not that well versed in the major pentatonic, just learning, but in this video at 5.22 you mention that is the E major pattern 4. When I play it it deems as though it is part of pattern 3. Can you clarify this for those of us that are relatively new to playing the pentatonics?

[@serkusov-pm4xb]

💥👌Очень круто!!! 🤝

[@shortandcurl]

James Burton style!

[@steve60.]

Not to take away from another great lesson, but I like your Tele which I guess is of course is not a Fender. So I guess it must be a custom job ?

[@alexs.2221]

Wow

[@caniwim12]

love your stuff so signed up some months ago to your lessons and really enjoying them, one thing I'm wondering though, I'm sort of new to electric guitar and sounds and it would be kind of cool if at the end of the lessons you could chat a bit about your set up and how you're getting that sound? Still working on trial and error LOL

[@ewal8556]

Fantastic sound, and great lesson. What is your chain to get that sound?

[@CARLOLAEZZA]

❤❤❤

[@G_truPrGrSv]

🙌🏼 🤙🏼

[@mountp1391]

I got Boston lick

[@meldeer6253]

i like it id like to turn it around to low e humm ilike it

[@nateo7045]

I'm so jealous of you lmao

[@user-gj7zt8sh2o]

can you post the arrangement

[@joebeamish]

Is the box at 5:18 really pattern 4? Or is the pattern 3 major pentatonic scale?

[@activemelody]

Pattern 4 - major

[@normanddaviau8787]

Impossible To havre part 2 with tab don t understand

[@pavelgolubev5728]

what brand and gauge of string you use here?

[@sulpanharahap6502]

By the way. Where I can find part two.
