@@musicmandan1717 I have played for years but not nearly on ur level. Reminds me there is always more to learn and improve on

Thank you Brother Charles;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

This one "blew thru" without much result...just winds and rains...resulting in a "lil SG Swing" along the way;) Thank you for watching my Brother Rodney & my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

No doubt...lessons from "named players" are always a benefit...whether "paid" for or attained by "watching" them play "live". The "Live" lesson has the value of "Revealing the How-What & When" to play under "realtime" conditions...getting the opportunity to "hear & watch" a Master like Don Helms (Steel Guitarist with Hank Willams) feel "what needed" to be played behind the singer...and more importantly...what NOT to play behind the singer or within the song...invaluable "Live...on the spot" lessons. Additionally...the "Opportunity to Apply" what you have "learned" via a lesson under those "Live" conditions is undoubtedly as important for the "Complete Understanding" of "what" the lesson has to offer...full. Today...if a young players wants to "learn" Traditional Country Guitar i.e. the "twang" of Roy Nichols or Pete Anderson, the "Nashville Scene" doesn't offer this "style" of music with any frequency to be able to "apply your lesson" of playing Traditional Country Guitar. For me...I was extremely fortunate to be able to get those "Applicable Lessons" from so many LEGENDARY PICKERS...and then have the "Live" opportunity to try to apply "what" I heard and learned...and repeat this process...over and over and over. Nashville is INCREDIBLY DIFFERENT today...claiming to be the "Home of Country Music"...but the "Owners" of that home have moved out a long time ago. Thank you for your comment and my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Thank you Brother Mojo;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Thank you for watching Brother Jim;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Brother Jimmy...if I can help, please let me know;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

I just lost my brother on the 28th. I appreciate your reply. Sincerely. I watched your video and I felt like I have met you before. I'm a half ass guitar player but I love music and I understand some of the magic. I can throw my email on here if that's the best way to connect for the future? Regards, Jimmy

Brother Bill...there surely is the "perception" by some that "money" can be "made" to the point of "riches"...but that "reality" is EXTREMELY FEW & FAR BETWEEN. I hope those are involved in the pursuit "Love" what they are doing...as I sincerely "understand" that emotion;) Thank you for your question...and my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Brother Bill...excellent points...thank you;)

Thank you Brother Bri...benders have changed my "musical life";) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

A lil' Grass will get you back to those "Country Roots";) Thank you for watching...and my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Only 96 miles from the original "Margaritaville";) Thank you for watching...and my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

One of my favorites..."Waitin' For A Train" by Jimmie Rodgers;) Thank you for watching...and my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

@musicmandan1717 you as well. I'm the guy that designed and patented the first ever 25 position amplifier stand. Wanted to show you some pictures but your page won't let me.

Me too...and I am "still stealin''';)

My Brother Rodney...I am so thankful for the time you spend with me here in this "Technical World" enjoying music together and sharing insight between us;) Mr. Gateley had a music store in Madison, Tennessee...a place I walked into during the exact same time period I am speaking of here in this video. I pulled that fiddle out and Jim grabbed a guitar as we picked in his store...and my father took a picture of this moment that I have somewhere in my scrap books;) Later...I would work with both Bill Anderson and Vern Gosdin (one of my favorites..."Chisled In Stone"...dang it...what a song written by Max D. Barnes I believe)...but again...having "access" to "Legends" because they were "still there" in Nashville. When it comes to "Music", I sincerely "Love It All"...as each genre offers "something musical" to me in some form. But...when it comes to "Classic Country"...those legendary songs sung by those Legends are the "Musical Threads" that dominate my "Musical Blanket" interwoven with major threads of Classic Rock, Texas Swing, Blues, MoTown...with a little Classical & Pop every now and then...and very little "New" or "Todays" Music. My Brother...we have the "Best Song Catalog in the World" to pick from and listen to...and I am glad we enjoy it together;) My prayers to you, your beautiful bride and your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Brother Mojo...thank you for your insight regarding Nashville today...and you are "spot on". I am thankful to have "experienced" all that I have prior to Nashville becoming "what" it is today...but for anyone who doesn't have that "reference point" such as a "new to Nashville guitarist", what they have to "navigate" regarding "Nashville's offerings" to become "successful" or at least "musically educated" is a whole "different" world...that now is "non-musical" to someone like me. But...I only "know" this thru experience. Thank you for watching...and my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Brother Ken...what wonderful "Legendary Artists & Musicians" you have stirred up in my mind...and some I have had the pleasure of working with also in Melba & Jack. And my Brother...doing "what" you have done with "who" you have done it with...that's a "Fact"...and that is exactly "when" Name Dropping is to be used;) Keep using them...great memories that need to be shared;) Thank you for watching...and my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Thank you my Brother...just kinda like those "Mathews Bows";)

Thank you Brother Mojo...it is a really good song to "try" to find these "double bend" opportunities;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

My Brother...this coming week, I will make you a video to "show" the components of these "Double Benders" with a detailed explaination of "how" and "why" they work like they do;) Thank you for the question & my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Thank you my Brother Rodney...this definitely has that "spooky haunted" sound...especially with those extra "effects" added;) My prayers to you, your beautiful bride and your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;) ....We'll be loopin' that Jerry Lee song here in the next week or so;)

Thank you for your kind words and for watching. Today, I will be recording a "S & T" about "Nashville's BIGGEST Problem: The Legends Are GONE!" featuring some detailed "insight" about how it was to be a "young" guitarist in Nashville back in the 80's & 90's & having "access" to "hear & see" Legendary guitar pickers whereas now...they simply are "gone"...and the few that remain are "inaccessable"...which is "Why" Young Nashville Guitarists have no "guidance" worth having...both "musically & business-wise". Thank you again for your kind words and my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Brother Levi...thank you for the kind words and for watching;) The progression is a Bm to A to E repeating format with "alterations & additions" being made "spontaneously" over each chord at any moment...typically of my playing as I am always "searching" for that "little something different" within the "musical opportunities from "move to move". As the only "musical element" that is "looping" in this video is the actual "percussive beat" you hear, the "chordal moves" allowed me to "search" thru every "pass" of the movement..even to the point a playing a "B Major" (by accident) for just literally a "moment" over this "Minor feeling" groove. All this to say...just having fun searching thru the vast musical opportunities that are found within even a 3 chord movement & a "groove". And...if I were to "pick" the most important element of doing this...playing to a "beat" is right at the very top as this "makes your mind & your fingers" perform to a "defined rhythm"...and therefore..."executing a musical move" within an appropriate, defined "timeframe" of music. Once you get that certain phrase "under your fingers" and into the "Musical Library of Your Mind", then you can adjust "how" you perform it regarding "feel and tempo";) Thank you again for watching...and my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Thank you for watching and the kind word;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Congratulations on the custom Martin...and I surely understand the excitement and anticipation of it's arrival as I share that with you;) Thank you for watching...and I hope to get a chance to hear your beautiful guitar upon it's arrival;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Thank you for watching Brother Steve;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Thank you my Brother Bri;) I have been meaning to ask you about your white Strat...what year is it...and a little history of it I would like to know when you get a moment;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

@@musicmandan1717 Hey Dan, my white strat is a guitar that I put together myself a couple of years ago, -2 piece alder body -Wilkinson vintage tremolo w/ full steel block Wilkinson 60's pickups CTS pots 21 fret neck with heel adjustment truss rod Klusion style tuners Bone nut I did the finish myself, the whole thing costed around $300 to make and it plays as good as (if not better) than the American Strats that I've owned in the past. It was a fun project, I wouldn't sell it for anything.

Brother Bri...I figured your guitar had a "story"...and my Brother...you "nailed it" with both the build and the sonic results as it is a fine sounding Strat that has the "Cool Factor";) Over the last handful of years, I have been getting much more "hands on" with my instruments as, although we live in the Nashville, Tennessee area and have access to "world-class" guitar experts and luthiers such as the fine folks at Gruhn Guitar and Glaser Instruments, we are in our Florida Keys home for the majority of the year and where I play the vast majority of my "Live" performance...and there simply is nobody down here that I trust to "work" on one of my instruments. This has "made" me learn so much more about these guitars than just playing them...and I've become pretty good at both "setup" and electrical repair/installation opporutinities. Brother Bri...you just may have to open up "Improv Jam' Guitar Service";) Thank you for sharing the information on your very special guitar...I sincerely "understand" it's extreme value...a price that no money could ever buy. My prayers to you, your family, and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

@@musicmandan1717 haha, I'm not that good, I'm pretty rough but I figure it out, I'll never claim to be a luthier, but over the years I've tinkered with every guitar I've owned, as well as asked plenty of questions from the owner of my local music shop. Plenty of trial and error, my background is woodworking so I'm not afraid of getting hands on (as long as it's my own stuff)🎸 Enjoy The Keys, God bless you and your loved ones, always! -Bri

Thank you Brother Roger;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
