[@cytozin]

I love these kinds of instructional videos. They are quick and give you lots to dig into and somewhat of a road map to explore on your own. Great stuff. Thank you

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Really appreciate this review !!! Thankyou so much!!

[@Mandoslicer]

“That should open up your ear up to the sound.” Chris, that’s the best musical tip I’ve received in a long long time. That’s what it sounds like to me anyway.

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Fantastic buddy!!!! Was a game changer for me - because you actually play less notes than the full scale

[@davidnallred8]

I’ve subbed so these are regularly in my feed now and without fail I’m learning new things I can apply today! Super good content. Thanks!

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

I’ll be back at the videos this week - see ya then - cheers

[@rodneyyarbrough6524]

Good stuff boss. I agree 100%… if you can’t hear it you can’t play it.

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Isn’t it amazin tho how different it is really hear somethin your doin , instead of being consumed by the process ! Knew you’d get that!! Cheerz chief

[@LeeMcDaidDonegal]

1:50 Thanks for pointing this out, Chris. I've been saying the same thing for years

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Thanks for the comment chief , yeah things need to start out musical from the start or people switch off - I guess theory is what you make it !!

Chris, I've been playing for over 50 years, and I could listen to your melodic and harmonic inventions for hours. Very well done. Thanks for sharing. Best regards from Southern California.

Excellent bite sizes tutorials. Great stuff Chris

I love it when a plan comes together!!! Thanks bud!!!!

[@markthackway274]

i love your approach

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Thanks Mark!!

[@DrThornton1]

Always amazing stuff to work on. Your knowledge on guitar is unbelievable! I know you've dabbled in classical guitar things, have you ever done a tab on Claire De Lune?

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Not tabbed that - but I love that melody ! How could ya not - would like to do a classical tune at some point - but really need a nylon string guitar first !!!

[@RandySchartiger]

best of luck to you Chris! and thanks for sharing the knowledge!

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Thankyou so much Randy!!!!!

[@willw3900]

Magic… as always. I love it.

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Thanks for stickin with the channel bud!!!!!

[@lasshrugged]

Could you maybe breakdown one of your own songs or arrangements, or perhaps do a video on how you put ideas together when arranging a song?

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Sure thing chief!! Hope your keepin well buddy !!!

[@kennethharris2215]

Superb lesson and tab much (much) appreciated. My guess is you’re no fan of tabs, but the kids sitting in back of the class (like me) sit there for a reason. Were you to tab out one of your tunes for us, the cheers would be deafening.

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Hey Ken!! Thankyou for the comment!!! Really not too sure what people want tabbed - tryin to get my ear to the ground now tho - what did you have in mind?

[@kennethharris2215]

Have you seen the YT clip of Mark Cosgrove’s “Washington County?” His take on it sounds a lot like your head-turning playing. Not for the faint of heart, but that tune would be a great addition to any pickers repertoire. (Especially the kids in the back). Love your vids, they’re a real-time lesson in what’s possible on steel string guitar.

[@Sammywhat]

I subscribed just to hear the sounds of your sultry voice! 😉Really nice lesson. I will get many miles from this. Thanks for the share, sir!!

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Lol !! Thanks so much buddy !! Hang in there ! Got some good stuff comin !!!

[@DVTO]

Beautiful and yet such a simple way to get those tones. Thanks much!

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Thanks a million for reachin out chief!!! Cheers!!!!!!

[@gumdocga]

Thanks Chris. Great work.

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Cheerz for watchin buddy!!! And the comment !!! Please have a look around the channel!!!

[@kiron6753]

chris! would love to see a lesson on those double/triple stops you threw in at the end. How do you think about their progression and find them up and down the neck? Maybe demo some of tony's classic chordal licks he would throw into solos. Another thing that would be be cool to hear about is more advanced bluegrass rhythm, maybe breakdown some interesting picking patterns or those rhythmic fills that can be used to create drive. I also think you have a great understanding of jazz substitutions, curious to know how you approach using those in more standard bluegrass tunes - I love when a tony tune starts out straight then you hear a 9th or 11th where you dont expect it or he starts following the melody/bass up the neck almost in a texas swing style.

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

This is excellent !! Thanks for that - so many points here - but I will cover all these - altho in separate videos - I’ve took a screen shot of your message to remind me of who requested what !! Cheerssss!!!!!

[@HealthyExec]

Hey Kiron. That is a nice request list but did you ever think about hiring Chris for a lesson or two? This is his vocation. Tough making a living doing what Chris does doing KZbin videos. Thanks in advance for donating to a Chris. Worthy cause.

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

@@HealthyExec Tim! Your legend chief!! Cheerz bro - instead of “buy me a coffee” I might start “buy me a can of beans”

[@kiron6753]

tbf he asked for suggestions so was trying to be helpful! but fair point - will definitely be donating @@HealthyExec

Bulk!!!! Howz sha goin chef 👨‍🍳!!!! Cheerz - ye goin to implement this stuff tho?

[@paulhull7899]

@@chrisbrennanguitar I will definitely try ! Very informative lesson this 😊

[@klippdachs]

Hi Chris, nice work as always, thanks for that. The first time I stumbled across this method was when I tried to analyze Lyle Mays - Pat Metheny's pianist. He used this left hand E major versus right hand B major trick (or correspondingly in other keys) a lot. And I shamelessly stole these riffs and melody lines, I must admit. I always found this way of thinking easier than saying: "Now comes an E#7 chord and for that you use the Lydian mode". Anyway, I never followed your approach of sequencing a chord. And for that reason alone, it was worth it for me to watch this video. Of course, this means that I now have to spend weeks learning these sequences in different keys. What is it called? Art is 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration. Thank you for your 1 percent! One more question and a request: I've been struggling for years to create a usable acoustic version of the Jimi Hendrix songs "Little Wing" and "Angel." Perhaps you could contribute some good ideas for this endeavor. Keep on posting, Chris. Musicians really need persons like you.

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

The name ? Nat sure ! I’d definitely want to do little wing!! So keep an eye out here!!

[@dfpguitar]

hehe this is the FACGCE thing but in standard tuning.

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

Not sure what this means bud but much appreciated anyway! Yes .. standard tunin!!

[@ParaBellum2024]

Is this not the same as using the Lydian mode?

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

No..E Lydian has an A# note .. B major pentatonic contains the notes B, C#, D#, F#, G#.. these notes are found in The E major scale - played over E it outlines four notes used in the E major 7th chord .. E G# B D#… and thus the sound is created

[@ParaBellum2024]

@@chrisbrennanguitar Thank you. In my simple mind I think of modes as being major scales rooted in one chord, played over a different chord. In your example of B played over E, what mode is this closest to then?

[@chrisbrennanguitar]

@@ParaBellum2024 Ionian mode - I prefer to just call it the major scale tho - Cheerz chief
