there is not a single video that you upload that does not blow my mind. I'm amazed. No other teacher on YouTube can encourage my creative mind more than you do. Thank you!

So I signed up for Active melody... gotta tell ya... I am NOT disappointed.  I have learn so much from you.  thank you

Sounds good..! I already have too much on my plate but I just can't resist these microlessons, they are kind of a stepping stone for the bigger ones! Thanks for continuing with these, Brian, they are GOLD!

This was soooo helpful! I've been wanting someone to explain this to me in an understandable way for years!

Great lesson!  Larry and Robben,  great players can’t teach this as effectively as you did.

Just discovered you Brian, liked and subscribed. I’ve been studying and practicing diminished scale and working them into blues solos more by luck and intuition. You’ve perfectly expressed how to find those sweet spots! You are a natural born tutor, very clear and simple, cutting through the confusion left by other YouTubers.

This is one of the best lessons I have ever seen on YouTube. Mind blown, you made me see the physical and musical relationships on the fretboard. Thank you !

I have been searching for this for months. I know the dim scales, the chords, the theory. NOBODY explains it. You, sir are amazing!

I've watched Robben Ford, Josh Smith, and Paul David's explanations on this and this video it finally clicked with me. Thanks!

Fantastic video! You have really become an excellent teacher. So many people teach these scales and chords without providing any useful context. Thank you very much.

Dude. Killer lesson. Opened up so many doors. You’re a great teacher. Thank you for what you do.

What an absolutely awesome lesson! Simple and effective. Sub'd.

I have to say, you are a good teacher and your demonstrating is great. I'm so sick of every diminished scale video conflicting with the other. I  can clearly hear the great effect of the scale and how/where it fits from your playing and tuition, but it's so confusing and bloody frustrating when you come across other videos of guitarists starting the scale one half step down from the root.
Whereas you are starting the scale on the root note and it sounds just right.
Or is there a specific rule that allows you to start the scale one half-step behind the root for different situations or under certain chord changes??? 🙉

Your lesson is accurate and concise.❤

This is le clearest lesson i have ever heard about this topic thank you a lot !

Thanks Brian !   Bookmark 11:57

Yesssss!!!! I've spent the last few weeks trying to find something that clicks....this did it...awesome explanation thankyou

An excellent simple explanation of the whole-half step scale and how to put it to use.

Thank you for the lesson. Easiest explanation by far.

As a PREMIUM MEMBER, I can say that I am really satisfied with the extra videos and pdfs, backing tracks etc.
