Beautiful, thanks you
Wow that’s a beautiful aged guitar !
I don’t think Robert Johnson did anything in E…..That sounds more like Texas than the Delta, but….nice job….
That’s cool and addicting, thanks bro!
man.. i would love to own that guitar.. please can we work something out for it?
nice tutorial ! too bad sometimes what you show us, is not what you actually play in the intro..
but anyway thanks!
I just subscribed to your site… Please make more blues and country videos. I know the CAGED system and am trying to learn scales and soloing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I guess I wasn’t listening, you do explain where melody comes in against the bass, I’m getting it!!
Great lesson, I’ve made more progress here than with any of the books, dvd’s, etc I’ve tried. Question: On counting the bass, are you hittting it on the beat with the melody always? If not , how would you count it? Thanks
Go Cubs, Go
Thx Brian , I will give this a go , great stuff
Fantastic lesson..very well done. I thank you
It’s a 1920s era Reagal guitar (made in Chicago) – Sure I’m always trading / selling guitars.. shoot me a private message and we can discuss. you can visit my website (see above) to get in touch with me.

hi brian, I was playing along with you, but why are you barring the first 4 strings at 7:05?

Going to have to train that stretch part, thank you sir keep doing your awesome work
Like your lessons, not too ambitious and very well broken down, you are a good teacher
great lesson,thanks bro
This is really excellent
Yes, now I see. its the cc function, sorry, but it helps anyway.
they most have the closed captions “CC” button on.
We didn’t put subtitles in the video, it must be something YouTube is doing automatically.
subtitles are taking the mickey they dont make sense who ever wrote them cant spell
Hi Jam Player, thanks to put subtitles in this video. It’s so much easy to people like me that doesn’t have english like a native language.
And Great lesson Eric.
great lesson Eric
