    Usually I use a delay pedal, it helps me play, tho with the rest it’s sometimes extra’s with finding some good setting where my guitar is driven enough to give feedback when I turn my guitar towards the amp, or when I use a reverb, I usually do it for a song about some train. Funny enough how my cheap spring reverb pedal does great with live gigs. For when I play at gigs outdoors I prefer using my affordable pedals for those. Sometimes I can find a cheap pedal for great sound.

    Really good lesson, and very classy of you to direct people to the ACPG channel; hats off for that. Nobody has broken down the James Burton version yet as far as I can tell. There is an excellent cover, but no lessons. I suppose if you have a good ear and a few buckets of patience, you could slow down that cover and reverse engineer it, but it seems like a daunting project to me. Maybe something for you?

    Well expained and like always to discuss that theme. Hearing this music for 45 years and like RaB and the later Neo RaB. For me, Psycho lost it´s soul in the early 90´s when it´s sounds like metal bands. Batmobile, Guana Batz, Pharaohs etc. were this fine Psychosound with these RaB elements in there. Even Jeroen Haamers said once , with the upcoming of the Klingonz and other crazy bands, Psychobilly and it´s definate sound lost it´s soul.

    Thanks man! Good question - the Travis picking parts were no problem at all and I probably only spent an hour figuring them out, but the lead lick through the middle took a good hour to nut out, and a few hours of practicing, plus thinking about whilst I was supposed to be watching a show with my wife, then some more practice of those licks over a few nights, then some practice over the whole song… I would say I put 6 hours into transcribing and about 2-3 hours into putting the video together including shooting. Considering it’s a 1:25 tune, it took some effort, and I do learn stuff like this fast, it was just the licks and the way Duncan might do certain things that felt foreign. Tricky stuff!!

    Why do almost all rockabilly guitarists start every phrase on the downbeat of one? Early rock&roll players like Chuck Berry had interesting phrasing; starting from different beats in the bar, 3 beat figures, playing over the barline, etc.

  • @AdrianWhyte
    @AdrianWhyte18 күн бұрын

    I would say more often than not rockabilly players play into the one, not from the one. When I’m playing by myself though, it’s always going to be different again to when I’m playing with a band. Chuck berry is more rock and roll than rockabilly, but he definitely took it somewhere!!
