B minor is my key :)

@freedomsoldier187 You can play this lick in any key.

@markmusicman I know but I just love B minor, call me weird, I just do !

@freedomsoldier187 A friend of mine once said his body resonates to the key of D. Maybe you do to since bm is the relative minor to D major. Do you ever jam in the major keys? Take a listen to the video I did called feeling down that is in D Major sometimes you can get a very cool sound playing in the Major keys!

@markmusicman actually you know I never thought of that, 99% of the time I jam in minor keys my brain just always gravitates towards them. I did have a listen and I quite liked it, I'm gonna start jaming in major as well now :)

@freedomsoldier187 Take a listen to the video I have called Playing with Emotion, That is in D major and Bminor. The thing to remember is those two keys have the same notes its just about resolving on the right ones depending on what key you are in between the two.

Hey man, thanks for the lessons. I really like your style of instruction. I like how you say what you are going to do, the do it slowly, then speed it up. I really like how your "slow" speed is not too slow... moves right along and I neither find myself waiting for you nor trying to catch up.

Keep em comming, please, and thanks again!

You bet. I love B minor as well, but not as much as D minor/F major.

Awesome lesson! The only things I would like to see in future lessons is:

- Closer zoom on the neck

- Tab for the lick
