Jason, is that a Joe Barden pickup in the neck position ?

No. I'm not into those pickups. Charlie Christian@@wtibbs21

In the early '90s I played basically the same circuit in the DC area as Danny Gatton. The sad thing is that Danny Gatton was playing basically the same circuit as I was. He should have been filling stadiums. A more tragic figure in music you will never see. He was just phenomenal. Guitar Player's headline with him on the cover was "The World's Greatest Unknown Guitarist." That pretty much said it all.

I heard what you were saying. I understood what you were saying, but it wasn't until the 9 minute mark when you put it all together, that my head exploded! Laughter came out and I realized, I can do this. Thanks for turning the lights on. Great vid.

Dig into some older guys like danny gatton, albert lee, vince gill. some fantastic players!

sometimes i watch videos like this while im smoking weed just so i can feel a little better because im not watching "mind numbing" content, but every once in a while i come across something thats not only super useful, but i start using immediately after 😂

I’m not too fluent with musical terminology, but I’m really happy this made sense to me 🙏🏽

great video, really usefull stuff some personal notes/ time stamps: 07:25 - parts seperate 11:01 - E chord C shape lick

I’m interested to learn more about double stops because of grant green. I usually used to think of pentatonic scales when I’m doing double stops, but thinking of it in the caged system was really helpful

There were so many great ones but one of my favorites was Glen Campbell

Hi Jason, many great guitarist have had an influence on me , but it all started with James Burton. When I was 15 and heard his break in Ricky Nelson's Believe What You Say I knew that I wanted to play like that. Years later I became friends and a student of Danny Gatton. We were not in the same universe as guitarists but we were the same age and we both talked about tuning into Ozzie and Harriet just so we could watch James play. Both of us wanted to know how hw got that incredible sound on songs like Hello Mary Lou. We both agreed he was years ahead of his time. No One played rock/country like him.

Exactly, and James was still just a teenager himself. I remember wondering how it was possible to be playing these blistering solos and be pioneering a whole sound on the guitar at such a young age.

I am an old man (70), but I still learn. I was always fascinated by Country, now I want to learn this. I have seen a lot of videos, but this one is the best. It is very essential and it shows licks, but essentially You show methods, so I can build licks. That is, what I have looked for. Great work. Love it!

My country guitar inspirations were first, Jim Messina, and later, The Hellicasters , Albert Lee (of course)

Excellent Jason!

I'm not trying to be glib, Jason, but along with the greats you mentioned, for me a guy called Jason Loughlin is right at the top. I first learned of you when I reviewed your CD "Peach Crate" for my "Buster Fayte's Rockabilly Romp" blog and was completely blown away by your playing and creativity. I also reviewed one of your True Fire courses and you are not only a great player, but a great teacher, too. I was so happy when your videos started showing up in my feeds! You deserve all the success you have and will achieve! Keep it up!

Aw man thanks Gary! I remember your kind review and really appreciated it.

Larry Campbell! Seeing/listening to him was a double stop and lick clinic and turned me on to the thumb pick too

Another great lesson. Thanks, Jason!

Love this lesson! I've been through tons of "learn the licks" books and videos, and they are helpful, but. I like your approach here, conntecting the licks to the CAGED system! Instead of learning a lick and putting it away, I'm gaining a tool to use for any song in any key. Thank you for putting this lesson out there and helping me on my journey.

Excellent lesson.

My main influence is Steve Howe. Just listen to The Yes Album and hear how he seamlessly and effortlessly glides between different styles, Including country and jazz.

All the ones you listed but also Vince Gill

Thanks for the lesson, I've never played double stops because i could never get the concept or process in my head, this is the best illustrated use of tying it to chords that I've seen on the style, thanks again!

This lick is a classic country signature, recognizable, but not a tedious fill. Great!!!

Love it. You explain yourself so well.

So happy to hear you mention Danny Gatton. So good and gone so soon. Thanks for helping his style carry on.

great lesson thanks!

I just love the way they sound, no particular person

Simply amazing!

Another great video Jason. Thanks Brother. I bought the pentatonic and major scale course from your website last week too. Now to find the time to work through them!

Thanks for the great lesson Jason. For me, it was hearing Danny Gatton and Greg Koch that totally floored me with hybrid picking/double stops.

First, Thanks. This is very well put together. This has let me know what I have been lacking. My mother was a great guitar player of Rainbow Drifters who played whiskey row in Prescott Arizona. They played the Phoenix area also. This was in the 50's. She played a lot like you and this makes me remember her playing. Thanks again

I'm not looking to be a country picker but if I could fire off some Danny Gatton licks, I could live with that. Thanks for the help. Think I need to work on that hybrid picking style too.

Well stated, and great video. It was definitely certain country guitar players that revived my passion not only for guitar, but music in general. I remember hearing some Alan Jackson tunes for the first time and wondering who the heck is playing these blistering solos, even underneath the vocals. So for me it was Brent Mason, James Burton, Brad Paisley, Don Rich, etc.

Mastering guitar is like mastering life. A great concept but an illusion in reality. Fun and informative vid. Thanks.

I enjoyed it thanks!

GOOD JOB, WELL DONE

I'm glad YT found you for me LOL. I've always liked double stops, probably first from Don Rich or Roy Nichols. Moved forward with Danny Gatton and Pete Anderson. This is a helpful lesson so thanks.

Thanks for makin life more easy

Hi, I liked the ideas of variations from 1lick.. Really opened up... Thanks

im as old as dirt iv been lissining to country when i got my first am transistor radio use to put under my pillow so my mom wouldent here it... love country southern rock delta blues . but country its chalanging tuf and theres a reconing of respect it ant easy playing country and iv had a guitar alllllll my life now the inter net and good people like you and a couple others i have learned so much in the last yr and its time to find a Telecaster thank you so much inspired guitarist Mel

To your first question: someone played me the Hellecasters back in ‘92-93. (~3,000 times, he was my boss, what can I say) and it was quite an eye opener, ya know. Got me started on all that Matchless hype and , yes, telecasters. 😅

Albert, C'est le Vie (you never can tell...) with Emmylou Harris

Thanks, connected a shit ton of dots!!!!!!!! Game changer

Great stuff👍

omg that was great

Thanks for this lesson...really, really useful and helpful. Two guys that I always thought blended country style double stops with a more southern or driving sound were Huey Thomason and Billy Jones from the Outlaws. While being great guitarists in general, I always thought they were great "pickers"...they knew just when to infuse a solo or a fill with the appropriate double stop or lick that gave it a country flavor.

Thanks for this excellent lesson and free backing track, an awesome resource, subbed cheers from New Zealand 🙂

I'm only about 1/2 through this video, so I don't know if you cover this or not, but your picking style also really makes the licks pop out! (And I haven't even commented on how great your guitar setup sounds!) But for the uninitiated, notice how his 3rd and 4th fingers also are involved in the total picking arsenal. My ham-hands have yet to master this technique cleanly, to be sure. Thanks to the KZread algorithm, I came across this video -- and Jason Loughlin -- for the first time. Subscribing now!

Didn't know who he was at the time but Eldon Shamblin (Bob Wills For The Last time) really grabbed me.

Jerry Reed was influential to me! As well as Paisley, Mason and Heiland. Also, don't forget Albert Lee or Steve Morse!

Jason that was a REALLY Amazing Vid 👍🏼 ~ probably the best simple instruction I’ve seen regarding CAGED Shapes with chords I”ll be dialed in on your channel & website to learn more You’re so fluid & mellow 👍🏼 ~ I’ve always loved double-stops… Danny Gatton (INSANE) Thank you

I don’t really listen/play country… your lesson popped up as a suggestion!!! John 5 is my “Tele Guy” lol… I was shocked when I first started learning song writing techniques that Jimi and Aerosmith took country song ideas and incorporated it into their music… Great lesson. That lick you use is all over rock songs… and just Ftr… you have some GREAT TONE going on there!!!

This is probably the single best and most useful video I have ever seen in terms of using a handful of shapes to connect with each other and open up endless combinations of soloing possibilities. You made my day, week and month. I have recently been learning licks and more licks and this lesson works straight out of chords and chord shapes to give me so many ideas. Thank you very, very much, Jason!!

It was Chet Atkins❤ for me ,well many others but Chet’s playing masterful

Heard country and blues guitar my whole life, been playing rock and metal since 1976...never heard the term double stop before. I would ask that you give an explanation of what a double stop is, how to use and why it is called this at the beginning of this lesson.. after watching I can get the idea and have played these types of licks...clearly communicating the technique may be helpful to others as this is the first video I have ever seen by you...maybe assume someone may watch who does not know your stuff so you have to begin with a very basic and clear introduction to these techniques. You are a very good player and seems you have a lot of knowledge to share so this no way a critique, just sharing what I experienced being outside of the country guitar circle.

Hi Jason, the two who have really grabbed my Ear in this area have been two that you mentioned.. Brent Mason and Johnny Hiland.. Monster players !!.. :)

Big Cheers from mid Mo. Jason''' It takes alot for me to '''chime in''' the comment section. I much prefer to listen & learn. Like many others Im sure,, I scour through the countless channels taking advantage of the ''free'' stuff that is endless out there. Even though I made a good living as a Guitar player over 40+ years my plan was'''& now is''' not to just randomley sign up with the first teacher who knows more than I do, that would be easy enough. However if Im to invest personal time & $$$'' into this endevor, than my teacher needs to be more than just a great guitar player. For me the disposition & personality is the deal breaker. To wrap this up, here is where you won me over.. The no nonsence way you deal with these '''Trolls'''' is quite refreshing. They get disrespectfull & rude'''' you give them a double dose dress,down + Tax....they get Butt Hurt over it''' than go to the boys dept. & mabey get yourself a puppy. or perhaps a new color rubber band for your Man Bunn...With that said, I know I have finally found the right person I can learn much from & respect as well. Cant wait to get started Jason. & many thanks for all you do & pass on....
