Open string Blues licks that you can move and play ANYWHERE on the fretboard – Guitar Lesson – ML115
In this week’s guitar lesson you’ll learn how to play a 1-4-5 Blues in the key of E with lots of open string licks. I’ll then show you how to transpose that composition and play it all in the key of F (closed position), so that you can play these licks in any key.

Awesome lesson, Brian! Definitely some light bulb moments – I learned some riffs a while ago using the F shape to B flat move, but only now do I know that it works like that because it is going from the I to the IV chord. Exciting stuff!
cool and simple many thanks !
Loved it
Здравствуйте! Какая у Вас гитара?
great lesson like always
Great lesson ! Thank you !
A perfect practice routine to warm up with ????
I am up to trying this lesson and will go to your home page for the rest , I am leaving for a vacation for three weeks and see if my guitar fits the travel plan but will see next weeks schedule and put some effort into it and run the lesson and guitar in hand, thanks for the lesson .
Absolutely adore your playing and these lessons! Awesome stuff
You are so helpful!!! you are really helping me along so i can get some quality playing into my life,thank you so very much,i enjoy helping people in different ways and it is nice receiving help also!!!
Great lesson but I'm having a heck of a time with my timing on this one.
I always learn something from your videos.
Something crazy happened with this lesson. I have been a bit frustrated with my progress lately, but I decided not to give up or take a break no matter what. Well, I just started this lesson and for some reason it opened up a whole new door to the blues for me all around the neck. I have been practicing scales, the cage system, songs and all kinds of things, but it never clicked. Something in this lesson did it for me and I feel like I went up another level in less than an hour. Thanks!
Fantastic! I follow you from italy …but you speak too Fast for me …anyway, Thanks!
Thank you Brain I learn so much from you your friend forever God Bless when I can get some extra money I'm going to rejoin you again. Again thank you your the best guitar teacher ever.
Excellent lesson….thanks for posting
thank you
Then he lit up a candle,

Learning from the Best, Thx.

You're right on the simplicity – once understood 🙂 My martial arts teacher always quotes his master who said, "I show you how and say 'Oh sure'. But you never come to it on your own."
YOU NEVER stop GREAT
I love this lesson!!! You bring in just enough theory to help anchor the notes picked. I am a very happy customer of yours ! Tom Dunham
All the comments tell the story of just how helpful and fun this video was. Thanks man. I had to subscribe.
Good lesson, but you're talking too much or talking to fast, I don't know, but it creates kind of a stress which is not necessary.
Thanks, what you taught me works ! Super lesson! I'm an old rocking roller bass player that plays a guitar every day.❤
Hi Brian. There are lots of great guitar players on YouTube. But not many are great guitar players, great teachers and multimedia producers. You combine all three into a really valuable resource. I’m 76 but new to guitar and thanks to your lessons, this old dog is learning new tricks.
Omg ! Lightbulb moment! Suddenly makes sense wow ! Wish I would have had this shown to me years ago!! Thank you !
This lick is played by peter green in World keep on turning.
Thanks a lot!!
much needed lesson.
It's somuch amazing to play after learning the tricks that lie inside the chord. Absolutely, you are blessed, and from you, I receive the blessings really Holyspirit is working in us keep it up May God bless you ???? ❤
What a great blues lesson. Light bulb moment: baby F and Bb right next to each other. Wow. And now I have movable licks and I have a better understanding of call and response. Thanks so much.
Great lesson
i really like that but im confused a little with when u say 4 chord or 5 chord etc.
Great video! Breaking down the positions nicely.
Thank you my friend, this is really good.. very useful and made so simple..????????????????✌️????????????
Really great!
You are clear, articulate and you play well.
I'll keep studying your licks and chords .
I will go deeper . Big thanks !
Awesome
Thank you for this lesson. You are a great teacher. I normally can learn the licks without too much trouble. However, I have trouble with their timing and how they should be counted so I can switch to the chord on the right beat. Would like you to consider covering how licks should be counted in future lessons. Thanks again.
I love all your videos, especially the play by yourself with no backing track type. I jus play at home for me, so its nice to learn something I can play by myself on the back porch! Great Job!
Great lesson!
Another enlightening instructive video. The movability part of it was the lightbulb for me. Cheers Brian
Really good teacher, Brian. Tx. I am watching in 2025.????????????
Thanks for this. It makes one curious to work on different variations that can sound awesome.
Excellent
Brian – I listen to a lot of your videos while commuting and I am a member of your Active Melody site. My guitar playing is limited as I play a tenor guitar tuned DGBE. I don't get as much video focus time as I would like. You always ask for us to share our 'light bulb' moments. In this video you said something that made a break-thru for me. The response is a shuffle on the E and A strings. I try to shift it to the D and G strings but the stretch is too much. You say, "If you can't do this, do this…" You play the E and A CHORDS!!! DGBE=2100 for E and DGBE=2220 for A. Thanks.
Toughen up buttercup stretch that pinky.
Thanks Brian
