How do I START Improvising on guitar? Don't get overwhelmed. Remember to keep it simple! ML073

In this MicroLesson, you'll learn a simple song that uses 3 chords and 5 unique notes. This is a great starting point for learning to improvise!

My problem with improvising is attempting too much too soon, and this lesson is a perfect reminder to keep it simple before moving on. If it weren't for Active Melody I would have given up on playing long time ago! 🙏💕

I watch a lesson like this, yet another gem from Brian, and I am so grateful to have become a premium member on Active Melody. Folks, seriously, you’ll get way, way value from it than the subscription price, I promise. Many times over. And No, I don’t know Brian personally, he did not ask for any Comments like this, and the only reason I’m writing this here is to thank Brian and encourage anyone who likes his style to go check it out.
That’s all. Happy playing, fellow travelers!

The timing on this video is perfect! 6 days ago I finally tried this style of playing - and at the weekend one of our highly respected local musicians heard me fumbling around with it and said ‘You’ve got it - keep going!’ I fully intend to keep going… and going….

you are one of the best teacher, never regret being premium member

[rustyboats]

Another perfect bite of instruction with a simple exercise that is actually a gateway to improv instead of memorizing. Thanks

[larryferchoff]

Well taught lesson, and right at the basic level. Perfect for a beginner like myself! Thanks!

Something about these triad videos just clicks with me. They just get right to the heart of things and get straight into the musicality. Best teacher on YouTube?

[machbuffett]

The lightbulb moments I got from this lesson make premium membership worth way more than the cost. Thanks so much Brian. Cheers from Downunder ! Mach

How in the hell does he keep coming up with quality stuff like this constantly? As good as guitar lessons get! No lie! 🤘

This is another one of Brian’s gems I forward to muso friends to try and light a fire under them. The variety, the kaleidoscope and fluidity of his lovely tuition I haven’t been able to match with his contemporaries

[stevefielding]

I love your 'play by yourself' lessons Brian. They are challenging but achievable. Thank you once again.

Thanks for the lightbulb moment, I am finally emerging out of the darkness!!

[solomonwaigani]

Another concise and extremely useful lesson. Thank you! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I consider your channel to be one of the best for learning guitar and I'm sure the community would echo that. thanks so much, Ted in Sebastian, Fl

Would love to see a whole series on improvising from this base model including the ideas touched upon in tab. As for some, Improvising would be a lot easier if all the pieces were in a kit form to help with the know how of using them like building blocks and mix and match. Great topic and arrangement. Appreciate your work.

[skullys]

This is absolutely fantastic Brian, please more like this!

[owenanstey]

I had abandoned the guitar after many years of "playing" but you have helped me light the fire again. King regards o

[romaholcomb]

I'm a 58 year old beginner, been at it two years, I'm ready for this. Thank you, and I'll let you know how it's going in a couple months. lol.

[mudtoetx]

I think I'm echoing what 40 other people have said, but perfect lesson for me, perfect timing. Easy enough to understand what to do, plenty to build on. Exactly the lesson I needed, thanks Brian.
