Great Lesson.As far as the Guitar sounding to Happy. I think it’s just in who is playing it. Sounded Pretty Bluesy to Me. Thank’s Againg for the Great Least. ♫
It is a cool bluesy guitar ☆
Very good！
good job
This is one of you best. And cool guitar. love the acoustic blues.you got 20,000 subs. me 520. yo the blues master.
Suggestion on this particular lesson would be that I would have really enjoyed hearing you play back the entire song at the end at maybe 50-75{10faa3092bae83cdf963b1ab1025701434ba1e012413cb9c0c72be0a479389c3} speed so that I could get the correct timing on all of it together? This is the hardest part for me as learning the notes are fairly straightforward the way you teach. The phrasing/timing is difficult unless you are familiar with the tune. Thanks again for all that you do here. Great teacher!
Yes, I got the exact same guitar after watching your big band, swing style video. Was able to get a great deal on it for 300.00 OTD. You also inspired me to buy a vintage parlor guitar as well after listening to some of your delta blues lessons. Really enjoy this kind of guitar! Just finished learning your blues solo guitar lesson-just guitar. Another great lesson. Have one suggestion for you as an intermediate level guitar player…..I will send it in next message due to limitation on size
Sounds beautiful. That’s a great value. I like the form factor of parlor guitars — find larger, Dreadnought styles too uncomfortable. Yours looks quite thin, too. Thanks for the info.
No problem, the guitar is an Alvarez AP710SB. It’s a little parlor guitar I picked up at my local guitar store a few months ago. I picked it up and started picking on it and couldn’t beleive how well it played and sounded.. and the best thing was the price tag was less than $400. I don’t think you can beat this guitar for the price.
Cool 🙂 glad you’re enjoying. I think the only thing that would make ANY guitar sounds "happy" would be what you’re playing on it. You can make any guitar sound bluesy if you play the right notes! I can’t remember, did you get the sunburst model?
Excellent lesson Brian. It would be very useful if you announced the key of the song at the beginning so that those of us with terrible short-term memories and fuzzy vision might predict what notes of the scale are coming up.
Another awesome lesson on that cool little Alvarez that I bought. I’m really enjoying playing this little parlor. It is kind of funny that on the Acoustic Guitar Review of this guitar they stated that it sounded too "happy" for blues but I think it has a fine tone for blues! Keep up the good acoustic blues lessons and Robert Cray stuff. Really digging this!
Agreed. I LIKE that you go slow… and I haven’t even watched this particular lesson yet. Brian, you so rock. Thanks for all you do. The fingerboard on that guitar looks delicious. Must be a joy to play. I’m sure you’ve addressed it before, but can you tell us about the guitar? If it’s on your forum (I’m a member and customer), just tell me and save yourself the typing.
Cool – that was a freebie from the Consumer Electronics Show last year. I’m one of those guys that actually WEARS schwag 🙂
Cool lesson thank you
I like the tee-shirt. I work for Corning.
@Looserdoll maybe you just learn way too fast ;)
your lesson goes waay to slow. also you should have tabs in the bottom of the screen as you play. You should start with this because your songs are great!
That is an Alvarez. Great little parlor guitar I picked up a few months ago. It’s an AP710SB (SB for sunburst)
Nice lesson, Thanks. Is that an Alvarez Guitar. If it is, I didn’t know they made an old school 12 frets to the octave guitar.
Nice pickin,gracias
Thanks Brian great lesson :-)
Outstanding, thanks
Sweet video thank you
