Country Blues guitar composition By Yourself - while outlining the changes. Guitar Lesson - EP580

In this week's guitar lesson, you'll learn how to play a country blues guitar composition by yourself on acoustic guitar (no jam track needed). To make it work on it's own, you'll need to outline the chord changes by the notes you choose. Explained in the video!

"Singing with my fingers..." perhaps the best description of improvising I've ever heard. Exactly how I see it; I've heard smokin' leads in my head for years and always wished I could make them come out through my fingers. Thanks to Active Melody I'm making that a reality. Cheers to Brian and his Finger Songs!

'Art vs Science'? Interesting comment by Brian in part two of this piece in which he addresses the frustration some people feel when they want full technical explanations for what is going on. I think Brian always combines the technical and the artistic - he explains where the notes are coming from (which scale), which notes he is targeting, the timing intricacies etc. but also emphasises having fun, loosening up and just trying things.

That little Martin sounds awesome. (You too)

The stand alone melodies are my favorite

[stephenwebster]

I always enjoy playing along with you Brian. I can usually keep up after awhile and it makes it much more fun than playing alone.

Perfect! Love the concept of being able to improvise and making it sound like a song! 🎶💕

You make that Martin guitar sound so good, i love the bluegrass country melody:)

[fishzebra]

Great, looking forward to practising this all week

[davidhamilton]

Another fantastic lesson, many thanks. For some reason (even though I play a little piano as well), I tend to fly right past C and play mostly in E, G, A or D

So the mixolydian scale is the five chord of the one chord. Just start on the five chord root note. Wow !

[piratejack]

Love your lessons so easy to understand with so much information. Can i ask you if you have done a Rory Gallagher type blues style and i not would you be open to one?

[matthennagersguitarlessons]

How much for the tabs? Absolutely brilliant!

Lovely tune, but great sounding guitar. What model is it?
