Brilliant Brian keep up your excellent work!!all the the best for you in 2024 👍😎🎸

Happy and sucessful 2024 master, thank you for your way of teaching! 🍸

Thanks for your teaching approach, not just songs like everyone else but the real underlying things that an aspiring guitarist should learn.

It amazes me every lesson you do. My hat is tipped ! You are a phenomenal teacher 😊

The harmonies really add to the song. I think now, the harmonies are why I like the guitar work in Hotel California so much. This video was terrific and the song is beautiful.

This is really a fantastic piece. I’m beginning to feel like you’re just days away from being equivalent to John Petrucci.

Man... You are the best guitar teacher on KZread... Since i bought a guitar 3 years ago you are my go to music teacher... The way you explains is simple and you tell everything theory and practice related to it. You are best ..man..❤❤❤❤

Amazing as usual. No other person in MANY years has inspired me more to keep playing and learning as you have. I hope you never stop!!

Whoa... you make it look easy, but those melodies tell stories and really nicely crafted

Thanks for listening! Much appreciated 😀

Basics of useful music theory in a 1/2h nutshell: Circle of 5th, CAGED system, different modes of the same key (A / F#), secondary dominants (C# driving back to A), harmonisation in thirds and the esssential chord tone targeting. So rich...: Some form of a guitar eve! Thanks for your work and Happy New Year Brian!

I'm there. Thanks for all you teach us!

So cool!🤟

Hi, Brian. Longtime Zombie Guitar member here. IMHO, this is one of the best tutorials you've filmed. A few reasons: it explains how the CAGE system works, and how the layers of notes and scales of a song come together synergistically. On the CAGE system: you clarified for me how it works. I've watched a number of videos on the CAGE system. IMHO, they left out a key idea: the shape of one's fingers on the fretboard for, say, a "D" major "cowboy" chord, can be shaped as a "G" major chord around the 9th fret -- but it's another, higher version of the "D" chord. It's about getting the guitar to voice the "D" chord. Presented as you do, it works for me. A "Eureka!" moment. Also, I was delighted to see that in the video, you present the fretboard in-action, so to speak, along with the other fretboard diagrams as you play, along with the animated Circle of Fifths. Would love to see you routinely do more song analysis like this, your songs and songs by other musicians. Best, RG.

That was great, Brian. Nice playing.

Fantastic. Well done 👍

Cool song Brian!

Tks--BK---Love it! !!

Nice. Another superb lesson as always great lesson

You're killing it brother, please keep up the hard work

nice lesson.

super duper info in this lesson thanx

Very nice Big B. Love it. Especially the lead guitar playing. 😊👍💯🎸🎸✌️✌️

Really great lesson, have gain and learn alot

Amazing presentation. Like the fretboard lighting up the notes.

Thanks man and Kind regards from germany

This is where it is at. Awesome stuff Brian! I could spend months working on this one lesson.

Love it! (as a song and a lesson)

Wow nice one and hi Brian , been a wee while since I was last around here but glad I dropped in ,loved your playing just there it was really awesome good bro ,great presentation and guitar lesson all round, and if we're lucky enough to be intermediate players ourselves then so much more to gain, thanks, hope you and your family have a great holiday new years ❤

Hey Brian, Happy New Year to you and your family. Looking forward to another great year of your content:).

Same to you! Happy New Year. I appreciate you following along with my vids 😁

Awesome video. Loved how you pulled all the individual theory parts together into an actual song and explained all the individual theory parts along the way. Really brilliant presentation. Highlighting all those individual notes on the fretboard diagram must have been a chore.

Great music. Happy new year, Brian. The tonal center seems to be D (lydian mode) or F#m ( aeolien mode).

Great Lesson, Brian !! I am starting to be more understood how to pick solo notes that sound natural and harmony to the chord being played.

Must be Irish?! Love it!

You said this is part of an original song you wrote. Where can I find that song? Also, this is the best breakdown and explanation of how songwriting works that I’ve seen on KZread. I’d love to see more.

Thanks man! Here's a link to the full video (it's very similar to the shortened version that you already saw here though) kzread.info/dash/bejne/paJ2lruLc8-Whaw.htmlsi=a-YtGn384thP7QdG

You're a great songwriter Brian, kinda reminds me of Iron maiden's wasting love

Nice, Queensrychy harmonies!! I always wondered how they did that . Is the third interval the first thing to try then? 6 th interval is also nice that is still a 3rd just going down

Hi Brian another great tune is there a way to hear your original songs anywhere?

Thanks man! As of now they are only available here on KZread. I have an "originals" playlist. That's about it though 😁

I’ve only done harmony guitar parts using thirds. Are you using more than thirds in this?

Oops, I listened a little further into your video and you kind of answered my question. I like the term third-up.

@@zombieguitar I really appreciate your reply. I have a Katana 50. I like it. The Tone Studio effects are good. It is convenient. In the past I had several pedals and a tube amp, but what a pain to manage the power and signal chain. I am thinking about upgrading the 50 to the Artist. I understand the speaker is better in the Artist. I'm curious to know if you have experience with the 50 or 100? Thanks again for the reply.

Sir, is it necessary to play pentatonic solos according to chord progression. Eg. C Am F G progression. C shape, Am shape, F shape G shape pentatonic. Or will F and G fits in C, Am pentatonic?

@zombieguitar

Can you "switch pentatonics" where you play one pentatonic per chord? Yes, and you'll still remain in-key by doing that However I don't really like approach. I prefer to just think 1 scale and focus on chord tones instead!

@Thengbey

Yes sir, I can switch pentatonic and can also play according to chord tone. But confusing whether playing only C major pentatonic up and downs fits the other chords for F and G Chords rhythm.

How do you get that solo sound? Just distortion or overdrive?

OK. Your mindset and approach is the same as mine. Practical and methodological. It's like listening to myself (but better).
