I accidentally clicked on this video and although I'm not into rockabilly guitar at all, I'm very impressed with this. When someone is passionate about a subject and has talent, it comes across and makes for an excellent video. Splendid stuff.

Gosh in the 70s no one would show us anything. I've loved this guitar since I was 15. I'm not the greatest but play every single day. Its a part of my life and thanks to guys like you I keep getting even better .

I remember those days too! No KZfaq and definitely couldn't find tab for any song you wanted... Had to learn by slowing down LPs and rewinding cassettes over and over. Makes me happy to be able to share a little bit on KZfaq with people! Keep on rocking my friend!

Having been in the technical training business for forty years (and still working at it), I've had the opportunity to observe and practice many different techniques and styles of "Getting the message across". If this was your first instructional video, you are definitely on the right track. Your introduction, overview, and demonstrations were spot-on in my opinion. From what I've just seen, I believe your audiences will get a lot from this and future productions.

I have been playing guitar for a long time but have always had a hard time figuring out my specific sound. However, after watching your videos, I can see that I have always wanted to play "rockabilly" style guitar, but just didn't know it. My current rig is a PRS Sonzera 20 amp, and for my pedal board I have a ODR 1 overdrive pedal, an Ibanez tube screamer pedal, and a small stone (like a phaser) , and a Liquid Chorus pedal. I now see that the reason I wasn't getting the right sound is because I didn't have the pedals that you have on your rig that gives you an iconic rockabilly sound. I currently have a Gretsch G2420 Streamliner Hollowbody guitar and a Custom American Telecaster. I am so happy that I found your channel because it's help me to find what I want my true sound to be. Thank you again and I look forward to watching more of your videos. :)

This was so helpful. I’ve played acoustic guitar for over 25 years, but didn’t get my first electric (a Gretsch G2420 hollowbody) until just a couple years ago. I’m playing through a Vox modeling amp and even though it’s fun to fiddle around with all the different tonal options that are possible, it’s hard to learn specific settings to get specific sounds without just stumbling across them by sheer dumb luck. With this lesson, I can put together similar settings on my amp to what you’re doing with your tweed amp and pedal setup and get one of the sounds my guitar was really designed for. I’m really excited. The lead riffs are helpful too for an old rhythm-strummer who’s stuck in his ways. Thanks very much for posting!
