Excellent, did you say the CAGED materials would be in the zip with the Jimmy Bryant stuff?

Alex Farran Guitar

Ah yes, well spotted. Zip file is now updated with those included. Thanks for the eagle eye!

Fantastic, exactly what I need to improve -good picking skills and my arpeggios-lots of work here to digest better get to it- thanks Alex.

Alex Farran Guitar

Thanks Mark, glad you’re enjoying the lesson. Yes, definitely a good workout for the picking hand too! Let me know how you get on! ✌🏻

Alex I just wanted to say that not only is this a fantastic resource (so thank you) — but this is also one of the highest-quality patreon accounts I subscribe to. It has even inspired me to delete Instagram and Reddit from my phone, and so anytime I would be doom-scrolling instead I am now reviewing my practice list and adding items like this. Thanks again!

Alex Farran Guitar

Thank you so much Roi, you've made my day with that comment! I'm so happy you're enjoying the lessons here and that you're taking your practice so seriously!.. soooo good to hear. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

Man no kidding about how fast and technical Jimmy played… just listening to his version of Old Joe Clark is mind boggling.

Alex Farran Guitar

Absolutely! Crazy clean technique. Check out; Little Rock Getaway, Frettin’ Fingers and Arkansas Traveler for more of the same! 🔥😵

Can’t stop smiling, don’t really know why, but it’s a good sign, and good feeling 😉

Alex Farran Guitar

😀 I’m so glad to hear that buddy! I know what you mean.. makes me smile too!

Thought you would want to know that I am getting a lot of mileage from "Chatter Box" as a daily exercise for: 1) chops and speed 2) More importantly as a way to ingrain Arpeggios over I V7 progressions and extend it to other progressions. Question: the progression on C) does not look like any progression I am familiar with. The chords are not diatonic to the major scale and don't look diatonic to the harmonic or melodic scale. Now that I think of it , you might talk about it in the video. I'll check. I appreciate Jimmy Bryant's music much more than ever before.

Jerome Oks

Have you checked out the Ask Zac episode on Jimmy Bryant. I recommend it. Jimmy Bryant would bring his guitar to Fender Corp offices, everytime he needed a change of strings. A real character or so it seems!

Alex Farran Guitar

Thanks Jerome, yes indeed, that's a great video! He was certainly a character and famously rubbed a few big name stars the wrong way with his less than polite studio manner! 😅
