1. If you like these lessons, definitely check out https://www.zombieguitar.com/

   It is a one-of-a-kind site dedicated to helping guitarists to understand the fretboard and create their own music. You will love it!!

2. Thank you

3. Brian appreciate you too cool.

4. THE BEST, THE VERY BEST .

5. Finally someone who knows what he is talking about and not just shows "20 coolest blues licks" without explaining anything like everybody else

6. Thanks mate, I think this video is awesome, really learned something as a newbie. Great work!!!!!

7. I return to this channel whenever I feel lost trying to learn guitar from the rest of YouTube 🙏🏽

8. Brian this was a great lesson and I understand now how to improvise over the blues. Thank you very much! You’re really great at explaining guitar theory

9. Greatly informative lesson! 👍

10. If you use A major pentatonic or A mixolydian (=D major) over a IV chord of D7 then the C# in those scales will clash badly with the C natural of the D7 chord. The parent scale for chord IV is D mixolydian so you should use sub-scales of D mixolydian such as D major pentatonic, D suspended pentatonic (=Am pentatonic), D dominant pentatonic, D Zeracrimic scale, D Pyrimic scale (=A blues scale), D Phralian scale etc

11. Ur lesson is awesome ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

12. Well done there. What am I to do if I want to learn Acoustic Blues?

13. Great Job Mate cheers

14. You did this two years ago and I just found it in here, I have been practicing the minor and major scales and mixing them together and I can do all five shapes and the sounds that I get are amazing, your explanation was really good.

15. another good one thanks brian

16. Blues does follow basic rules and it is based on diatonic theory. Rules really aren't broken. Think like a jazzer….changing keys…using modal common tones.

17. Rules…we don’t need stinkin’ rules.

18. Super helpful video, but I am still so confused by blues. I am a theory guy and I just don't understand how it "works". On to the next video lol. Thank you for all your great videos Brian! Looking forward to more videos on blues.

19. Your lessons have helped me massively. Thanks so much

20. Great video. When u learn and practice is good to know Diatonic or at least pentatonic scale.After a while u dont even think about scales personaly i wanna know core tones of a Chord even 1-3- 5-b7 all over the neck.More u practice more u get back.Great lesson like always.TY

21. Brilliant! Nicely presented. Extremely clear. Much appreciated. Thanks.

22. This guy is cool, and smart. Kinda sounds like Adam Sandler

23. hay man where can i find your music

24. hay man your an amazing guitarist brother

25. newbie here. showing how its all connected…light bulb moments! thanks brian!

26. Sometimes, on the guitar path, a lesson arrives at the perfect time This is the one for me that at last makes blues interesting because I have always been bored by the 12 bar 1 4 5 chord progression itself.
