Between the Licks

Simply drop your idea here.

I'll pick one and make the next lesson about it.

Have you done a lesson on blues chords. I know you mention G7 and other 7 chords, but I don't know if you actually showed them on here. I know what they are from other sources, but I think it would be good to have them on here. Just a good number of common blues chords and progressions they can go with.

Edit: Lesson is up: Seventh Chords - Bryan

How about a lesson on improvising with both the major pentatonic and the minor pentatonic over a blues or simple rock progression. Transitioning effectively between these two distinct tonalities while playing over one chord or two chords within a progression has always proved elusive to me. Maybe you know of a solo or piece of a solo which illustrates this.

Working on both of these lessons for this week. Stay tuned.

Any more ideas?

Sorry i'm new and this seems to be the most relevant place to post this.

I've been playing guitar for a couple years now but never really got into improve or anything until the past few months. And those rhythm licks where exactly the type of thing i need so just wanted to say thanks for that... but anyways...

but thing i've had trouble with is coming up with the rhythm portions. I got some friends near by and sometimes we get together and play and its a lot of fun but i'm so far behind. They will want me to come up with rhythm's and I have trouble.

Sometimes if someone starts playing a solo, I can see what key its in and maybe play a minor or major chord and try to figure out something, and sometimes I get lucky. and can make something that sounds almost decent. But I really want to be better at this. So any advice would be great, and I thought some people might be thinking the same.

But great site!

hi im a huge fan of yours... ive seen all the youtube videos and i would really like to see one on crossroads by eric clapton i think its a great song and ive been trying to learn it for the past year... its kinda hard and i need some help

I've been using garageband on my Mac to record a 12 bar blues and then I play it back while playing the blues scale with embellishments over the top of it. Some times it fits and sometimes it doesn't. It seems that a particular lick may sound better when played over the "I" in first 4 bars then it does later on when played over the "V" or "IV".

Can you do a lesson on the relationship between the blues scale or licks built from it and a 12 Bars Rhythm.


Thank you,

I would be good to have next lesson printable maybe even have a pdf file for download. Jam tracks are great but I have a difficult time downloading them.

Blues Licks over the IV chord and Transition from V back to the I would be helpful. I seem to have lots of lick over the I but get lost at times with the IV and V...Pop

Phrasing a solo over a E A B progression..think Vai "Whispering A Prayer". I have a nice backing track that I downloaded off of a website onto my iPod of that song. I think those are the main chords with a C#m and a few Esus chords thrown in. I have worked some soloing over it, but would like to see your approach using the E Major scale Ionian. That is the mode I picked starting on the 12th fret. Could you do a Video with that progression and a phrasing lesson? The tempo is kind of slow. Phrasing sometimes gives me the hardest time as I feel sometimes I am being too repetitive.
Thanks!

After watching Peter Stroud playing lead guitar with Sheryl Crows band
I wondered if you have any of his style down that you could give a lesson on. Here is a link to see her concert ...

What do you mean by creating chords? Constructing them? Or designing completely new and unheard of chords?

Sorry, i found lesson on this site about constructing chords.

Hi Bryan! First, I want to thank you for your good videos. I've learned alot from your teaching since you started this project.

Recently, I came across this video (Magic Sam - Lookin' Good) on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2II5LwLDyQ This kind of groove reminds me of JLH boogies and a song of RL Burnside called "Jumper on the line", witch I tried to figure out for years without too much success. I must admit that I feel a bit dumb about it because it seems quite simple to play. Anyway. I'm wondering if you could do a lesson on how to play these things... or at least "Lookin' Good". I'm sure I could play it, but I need a little help first.

Big thanks!
