      Yes, the Brown Sugar chord progression is not the typical blues 1, 4, 5 but like I demonstrated in the “Recycling” video I played the 1, 4, 5 progression along with it and it works perfectly. Therefore, once you learn that solo or even parts of it you’ll be able to pull out those licks over any rock or blues song. This is because the solo is only made up of 5 notes (pentatonic scale).

        That’s the thing in particular that caught my attention was the chord progression, but it still worked? That lesson alone can have far, far reaching effects in how to approach a situation where, even though the chord progression isn’t the same, it will still work because of the 5 notes were using..WOW. Sorry if this seems to be something I’m excited about–I realize to a pro player like yourself you don’t think about it at all because you’ve been doing it for so many years. But to a student player like me, it’s a totally new concept that opened my eyes. This is one of the reasons why I said that while I most certainly will be getting into your new Improvisation course sometime this year; but I personally want to digest all of what I’m working on right now before going on to something else.
