Plucked and Dixie fried my friend.

Danny gatton used a dial tone 😂

​@@kevinalfrey2633 No shit !!!! Dial tone = F

Use the * setting button, go to playback speed. Slows it down while remaining on pitch.

Why would drinking alcohol be bad on a live stream.

hahaha yeah, fancy pants water lol

@@tswpedals I don't really believe in the words 'bad' and 'good'. That said, I like music to be for everyone - not just those who've bought into the unhealthy lifestyle choices of some artists and celebrities. To me, the days of Rock n Roll being the devil's music and rockstars dying of OD's are over, at least the glamor part of it. I want to see kids and religious people included also. Music is life, life-affirming and alcohol is the opposite. If you want to drink, that's on you but please do it on your own time in the privacy of your home or a bar. I started playing music when I was 8 and guitar when I was 10 - a very impressionable age. Seeing rampant alcoholism probably contributed to my negative choices as a young adult and I think it's irresponsible for someone with a fully-developed brain to flash that kind of nonsense in front of the young and conservative.

@@Hexspa But on your channel/videos ' acoustic for drunks' what's up with the thumbnail pictures? What kinda message does that send to society, especially kids? BTW' I would have swore those were pictures of my grandma. Also sorry for using the word SWORE.

What kind of message do you think it sends? I don't make content for children. How many kids do you know who are interested in acoustic analysis or are drunks for that matter? But, for what it's worth, I've given up on telling people not to drink. As you seem to prove, drinkers will defend their poison to the death. So be it.@@BryanClark-gk6ie

slow down the video mate

Nah, he’s right. This borders on a Beato video. For a great intro to chicken pickin’ look for the old Danny Gatton lessons from VHS tapes. Should be here on KZfaq somewhere.

I don’t think complaining about free online lessons/master classes is good form man. Like @8bitseed said “slow it down” there are controls on youtube! … or find something that’s more your speed instead of writing angry/frustrated comments to the content creator.

Your comment you mean? I agree. Definitely meandering with no focus. Next time you should keep it short and to the point Jane. How’s life under that bridge collecting tolls?

@@chrislestermusic Don't take it so hard, Sweet Pea.

I offer you a full refund on watching this free livestream.

@@andywoodmusic thx

@@andywoodmusic❤

Here’s a refund for the free content. Beginner=doesn’t equal being spoon fed tabs like a weak child. Use the rewind feature, sit. Practice. Do it again. Didn’t learn it? Watch it again. Repeat. Here’s your beginner lesson= it’s not easy and it’s never gonna be handed to you, but what I’m doing here is giving you an hour of my time going thru plenty of ideas to chew on.

I sound like a douche here- maybe I am- but thinking on this makes me wanna clarify a few points. Beginner country guitar does not equal not knowing how to play guitar at all and having no foundation. I’m tying things to foundations someone might have as a blues or rock guy. Secondly, I’m obviously very passionate about teaching, I make hours and hours of free content every week that includes livestreams like this, creating patches to give to my patreons on the axe fx. Masterclasses, and videos. I wanna see people succeed on the instrument but… Here is the ugly part- there’s no download or plug in or tutorial that’s gonna replace listening to the genre of music you’re interested in learning and practicing. KZfaq has built in speed control, what more could you want or need? I (along with every player that drew a breathe before KZfaq) sat with albums and hit rewind over and over again trying to learn something some freak show player like Brent Mason or EVH or EJ is doing at lightspeed. The truth is KZfaq (as much as I LOVE it) has made many people entitled. And your comment embodies that. Sorry if you didn’t assimilate it on the first viewing but maybe youre supposed to put forth effort to achieve goals and not rely on someone to HAND it to you. Music just doesn’t work like that. Musical journey is a race track and it never ends and we are all at different spots on it. I wanna help, but you have to be willing to put in the effort. You’ll be a better player, I promise.

Be patient man. You might need to master other concepts and techniques before jumping on this. Be realistic and embrace your current stage in your guitar evolution. Social media has made us believe that anything below virtuosity is bad playing. Don't believe in that sh*t, but don't give up practicing and learning what great guitarists have to teach us. As Andy is saying, slow down the video if you need it, and if you just feel these lessons are not for you YET, you can come back later because the video will still be here.
