Being in public education for 28 years, now retired. I know a good teacher when I see one, and you are that one! Your lessons are really helping my chops. Thank you, Damian!!!!

You're an incredible teacher and personality Damian. You are extremely generous in showing us these lessons. You have reignited the fire for this middle aged guitar player to be excited again like I was in my youth with playing guitar.

Damian... your lessons are absolutely brilliant. I can't put my Gretsch down anymore, and if I do... Im thinking about it. I'm addicted to your lessons. Never stop putting out this material.

Great lessons. I combined your killer Rockabilly lesson with the double stops lesson with this one al together. Makes a nice long practice song. Thanks for getting me into Rockabilly after playing classic rock for 50 years. I’m loving your fantastic teaching techniques.

Thanking you again, it is great to learn something that takes you out of a rut. I can now play this at the slow speed from memory .... now it is repetition, repetition, repetition, till I can play at the quicker speed. I have recently been asked to dep for a swing band in May; these licks will, I hope keep me in the groove. Cheers Damien.

Danny was the first rockabilly guitarist and the first to mysteriously die. One story reported he died from a fall down a fight of stairs. Stairs are indeed dangerous, but I also know of someone who was pushed down them. By 1959 all rockabilly artists had switched to country or pop, got out of the music business, suffered a disabling accident, got drafted, got incarcerated, eloped or else got killed. The only exception may have been that guitarist who started surf music and lived in Los Angeles far away from Nashville. But even rockers who escaped to Europe ended up dead. And all that was before speed, LSD and coke became a recreational thing with overdoses and mishaps caused by hallucinations. When rock did make a come back thru surf music and the Britsh invasion around 1963 or1964, it left behind its rockabilly roots.

Thanks for these lessons. Im starting to learn that the whole secret to getting this, is the “swing” feel in the picking hand. Otherwise they’re just scales with hammer-ons and pull offs. Maybe you can give a lesson that builds on right hand rhythm picking. Thanks

Very cool 👍👍

At 6:22 that is the most bizarre but cool lick over the E chord..T-bone, where did THAT come from?

Damian, how about a video showing some the great guitars you have and maybe why you choose certain guitars for certain songs? It may sound obvious but I am a guitar nut. I've seen you use Gretsch, Epiphone, Washburn , Guild for lessons but what other guitars do you have in your arsensl? As always, Cheers and have a great day!

I want somebody to pay tribute to Poison Ivy from the cramps.. I know Lux interior the cramps did not have the best songwriting. But poison ivy who is lux's wife and Rhythm and lead guitar player was just crazy good. I wish one of you rockabilly people or someone would pay tribute to her and talk about her

Great lesson, as usual. What is the chord base for the "outside" lick starting at 00:34 and 6:16 (Section 5)? I can't seem to match it up.....

@gearoiddom

4 жыл бұрын

Section 5 is very tricky chord-wise. Starts with E augmented but I'm not sure after that. Maybe there is a G# augmented in there too. The final line is something like A, F#7, Bm7, E6, A.

Awesome! What kind of video software are you using to overlay the tabs on the video?

Thanks for watching. I'm using Power Tab Editor 1.7. It's a older version. I manipulate the program by doing my on thing with it, so what your seeing in my videos isn't necessarily what that editor does if that makes any sense.

Why do you never seem to use guitar straps? I’d be afraid I’d drop the darn thing..lol

Was Danny Cedrone the first rockabilly guitarist? And the first rocker to meet an unfortunate death? Murdered? Pushed down the stairs?
