Play the guitar beginner lesson rockabilly 50s delay tone rhythm chords and strum on a Gretsch

[CtrlAltFone]

Yo mate, as a born Rockablilly hepcat:: I hate/love your hair.

About your music: a true Hepcat plays it raw.. Sorry ma friend.

[Grimfreak]

Thumbs up if you clicked this video because of his hair.

[derbbus]

Bet lynch.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

The delay sounds like shit. I'm just saying. IMO, I would never you delay with rockabilly. To any aspiring rockabilly guitarists, just get a nice tube amp with a really nice reverb.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green *use*

[TheSundayEdits]

Are you related to Jedward ?

[GuitarLessonSarasota]

Sounds like that is an analog delay pedal at about an eighth note? Great lesson BTW!

[camocowboy777]

Jason, you have delivered me from the hell that was my rockabilly guitar playing. Great lesson. THANK YOU.

[reciclash]

Beavis plays the guitar!

[nugun889]

What a wanker.

[TheKaizer0007]

Jason, u a skater?

[RockHailand]

This dude cant leave his house because the doorframe is too low for his hair

[MrPollock99]

cool hair dude

[specthanatos]

Would that be the Electroharmonix with the effect switch on? I have the same :D.

[Retromantra]

Jedward's Dad !!!!!

[espresso1866]

Hi Jason, you're doing great. Thanks for all the good lessons and advice.

As for the remarks on your hair : that's only all the bald people that are jealous as they do not have one single hair left on their heads ;-)

... poor guys....

Keep on rocking ;-)

[ThePeebsb]

@espresso1866 Hey dude I am bald as a coot and think his hairs cool dont treat all us follically challenged the same way. Lol :-)

[bbqstud]

@pwyndam If GC, Jason and the rest bother you soooooo much why do you keep going back?

[MrMrMoto]

I think someone has issues with drawing attention to themselves

[krypt0nian]

@MrMrMoto Or he decided to have a look of his own and not care what small minded people thought on the internet? C'mon, just be cool. The guy is talented and choose to help others.

[TheNatemeister]

i bet this cat can wail when he cuts loose.

[pmay222]

@TheNatemeister lol..... he looks odd...but a very good teacher....i like him learnt a lot already for free.... thats a price i like....

[TheNatemeister]

@pmay222 lol no doubt. i have learned a lot from his videos too

[TheVictorians]

Is it just me or does the delay heard here raise the pitch of the notes?

[doubletapm4]

These videos have helped me and my wife SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much with learning to play!

thanks a TON Jason!!!

[legendhasitstudio]

Great guitar licks , keep them coming ....my band ....( legend has it . ) we play surf , horrid , Fiji , monster , horror , spy themes and western stuff ...

[pwyndam]

Yawn. Guy is a big barn. Works at Guitar Center in La Mesa, CA.

Always hated his posuer rockabilly style and kooky hairdo. Makes me sick seeing him everytime I go in there as well as the rest of his azzhole GC crew. So much attitude they throw out. I'd love to be humble but they've got it coming after 20 years of putting up with their crap. That pretty much sums it up how I feel about all those GC wannabe wankers that think they're hotshite.

[Tjorvz1]

@pwyndam And you are indeed much better than them saying it anonymously over YouTube instead of to their face.

Grow a pair, would you?

[jacknuts22]

@pwyndam I'm guessing a lot in life bothers you. Go back to your kiddyporn sites you fuck.

[deanrobinson210]

Man does he play in a band I would love to check em out!!!!

[vonfleisch]

Awesome lesson!

[marko6849]

WoW

[ugotpimp]

he said "whip it out"

[rijste94]

i like the part around 6:10 are there songs like this ?

[TheBandDMOD]

@rijste94 yes have ... u2 for example... they use a  lot delay

[staruponurgrave]

u must be in a band or 2 give me names??? i need to listen!



[13MrKieran]

Dude your hair is epic ! :)

[element3545]

Johny bravo hair you got goin on their

[willievega]

I notice that almost EVERY single time someone leaves some bullshit piece of 'sagacity' about what you have to do to be a ' real guitarist' , if you look at their YouTube channel, they have no uploads. That's because they are complete A-Holes that can't play the guitar.

How does anyone have the audacity to bitch about anything this man is doing?

He's helping other's to be better players, and is also helping to preserve an all American musical style live on.

Don't give advice to better players.

[souloption]

nice and mysterious. 

[tinysjoint]

why does this guy have a cocker spaniel on his head

[MEJEANMARCELO]

completamente al pedo

[sasperilla120289]

A good guitar players tone comes from their fingers alone....take that delay from this dude and he's fucked...try playing a gig going strait into your amp dry....things like that measure the ability of a true guitarist...

[Promoagent]

I want one of them guitars am flogging my fender strat to get one

[montejano760]

It sounds like Creep from Radiohead

[strokes27]

you are a beast, with exceptional hair. keep rockin, i would love to hear you do some cramps covers with that hollow body

[tonyhq1992]

yo your hair is coo but how do you drive your car without messin it up?

[tugasman]

what the fuck do you have on your head? seriously...

[mc051961]

haters

nice lessons

[keggerous]

I LOVE THIS SOUND

[arsalankillzone1]

this dude is gay 

[Purexdetergent]

[buchiach]

[lamascosk8r]

En av de coolaste katterna där ute!

[Deader87]

0:00 sounds very lynchian

[ohhhyesss]

where do i find hair gel with so much strength?

i simply MUST have this hairdo

[darknessgodzamorak]

Your hair is....unique.

[mannychan60]

that hair..... XD cool

[musicprodave]

The hair is monumental ...lol

[JohnnyReb2009]

Granted, you must use a delay pedal to get the typical rockabilly sound, but his slapback echo sounds extremely weird, at least to my ears.

[Alicia4everful]

dude you hair is EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flartnard]

rockabilly is easy ass songs muted with weird effects. like damn its not special. boring as hell. random chords barely audible with a whmmy bend at the end. you know you agree. peace

[Neal5189]

@flartnard Yea and what type of music do you like? Death metal? rap? pop? Why the fuck did you click this video if you don't like rockabilly music.

[93steviem]

holy shit hahaha

[Carroll49]

Thanks Jason,

Spot on man.

*****

[pleaseu2nite]

jonny bravo plays guitar nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great lesson 

[Ieatbabyseals]

Love your lessons keep it up

[Shrewsbury66]

Give it up Fonzy the 50's are dead just like your music career.

[sroux]

@Shrewsbury66

50's dead?

I guess that's why there are 6 or 7 major rockabilly/50's revival festivals each year, and 100's of 'billy bands in the US alone.

[dccerros]

wtf your hair is waaaaayyyyyyyyy to big wtf is that suppose to be? a pomp?

[focaywea]

mother fucker you play like a girl

[saturnee7]

does anyone have good examples of real songs where this rhythm is applied? i am new to rockabilly and would like to practice my learning with some actual songs... thanx!

[k2plasma]

holy shit whats that on your head?? reminds me of the cone heads movie ! :D

[Meechree]

opening sounds like "creep" by radiohead.

[ElevenBravo]

Kudos. This guy is super creative and "gets it" with regard to tone, mood and style.

[atmdaddy]

What in the blue blazes we have here. Johnny Bravos crazy rosey cheek grandmother. I half expected him to stop playing, lay the guitar down and break out some knitting needles and start wiggin out

[MultiSebastian98]

fuck your hair bitch

[TOPPSSELLER]

These are some of the best lessons on Youtube. They sound great and are easy enough to get into right away. They are also very easy to build off of and make more complex sounding rhythms.

[pankGejt]

he looks like Paul from Tekken 3 :D

[jveuduson]

I just can't keep staring at this head ^^

[gofkyoslf]

he must like static x

[bergaminivideos]

WTF IS WITH THIS GUYS HAIR

[kjdavies13]

wooooow its jedwards dad,,,,nice vid by the way!

[ksfloyd123]

love the shirt jason! cheers man

[TheDirtyMongGoose]

badass pomp, at lest i think thats what he has, whatever great teacher anyway

[lathandien]

so.. how many liters of gel went into that hair?

[JBA7726]

I think someone's got a deal with Gretch . I like the green one .

[LakeTiticaca100]

You are like a breath of fresh air. I appreciate how you focus on style and technique.

It's unfortunate that so many special needs people cannot concentrate in class though, because you have an interesting and unique look. They must have failed in school and now they FAIL at life. They leave the most asinine comments that it makes me seriously wonder about their intellect.

[ekserchina]

Love the haircut man....I really do...you've got balls that's for sure and definitely a good video dude.

[gregsb100]

that's a beauty

[larrydaniels1]

Sweet sounds Jason thanks!!

[MegaJaybee]

[everydayidiealilmore]

i want that guitar so bad...

[everydayidiealilmore]

i love that sound man. its pretty bad

[superlou1s]

awesome guitar effects, and epic hair.

[roxtar10870]

@superlou1s The hair is indeed epic

[KyleJeffery88]

I like your style. Musical and fashion. Keep up the good work.

[CeeBee714]

These lessons are great....so simple.  Love the hair! IF I had hair I'd have hair like that!

[flashpadxxx]

Nice hair !!

[theguitarmasterman01]

omg the hair is the ugliest thing ive ever seen in my entirelife!

[Elvis1438]

A good lesson, really useful, thanks.

[WammyHammy]

you're hair is fuckin disgusting

[patrick11deutsch]

Benimaru?

[Frinkstobat]

Don't look now dude, but I think Fat Freddies cat set up camp on your noggin!!!

[Metalmiltia]

Nice! Thanks Jason, Love that Gretsch!

[kelseykbazar]

what camera do you use to shoot these videos?

awesome hair by the way

[CarlosBluesman]

Ái! This guy again!..Santa Maria his too much for my head!

[powerkor]

they wont let him in the theater - too many complaints

[lemonheater]

lmfao

[krewskater8]

i see this guy in my local guitar center all the time.

he's chill

[Emilien03]

where's your local gc located?

[krewskater8]

san marcos, California :p

[raabgunner]

epic hair syle.

[tnhdz]

Sounds like the song 'El Monte' by Girl In a Comma.

[sylar1717]

ha ha!! check out that do!!! must have a ton ov gell on his head.....!! what a bellend #!

[123skull321]

ftw whats goin on whit his hair dang xD yet an other nice tut

[k00lguy202]

nextlevelguitar has good down to earth instructors but this guy is waay too much of an attention whore.

[thejesman]

*rolls eyes* Cause of his hair, right? People are so predictable.

[k00lguy202]

@thejesman No because of his whole getup.

[thejesman]

Why are clothes so important to people? Is it too much trouble to get to know a person before passing judgement? I'm wearing a John Lennon shirt right now, does that make me a hippie or something?

[k00lguy202]

@thejesman because honestly when you try to learn a lesson you want to learn a lesson not get distracted by someones flaming hair, wack earrings, or cowboyish suit and bling. So from you'r point of view, if clothe's aren't important to people, why does he not dress up like the other people teaching on nextlevelguitar, as in not begging for attention?

[thejesman]

Because he has a personality I suppose. Again, what difference does it make? His appearance never stopped me from enjoying his lessons, I don't get why everyone else cares so much. It seems extremely childish to me.

[k00lguy202]

@thejesman its not childish at all if anything its all about being professional. It annoys people the same way it doesn't bother you at all. There is a difference and to put it simply, first appearances/impressions make everything. Would you rather learn from a hot girl or an ugly one if they both had the same teaching capacity? likewise would you rather learn from someone who (to me) looks like a douchebag or a regular humble-joe? they teach the same but look different...

[thejesman]

Professional? Dude, this is rock n' roll, not fucking Wal Mart. I'm sorry, but everything you just said sounds incredibly assinine to me. I can't even respond to it. You're boring me now, goodbye.

[k00lguy202]

i don't get how walmart fits into this. its cool, people who usually leave are just submitting anyway, since you think you're leaving on a high note because you can't put together any logical reasoning behind your own opinions or thoughts. at least you learned how to take a loss

[thejesman]

*rolls eyes* My God you're a dork. People usually get bored with this by now. Okay, since you have to be a douche about it, I will respond to what you said, even though it feels really effing stupid. Talking about professionalism for a guitar video seems ridiculous to me. Rock n roll isn't about suits and ties. "First impressions make everything" is an excuse judge somebody you've never met for no real reason. As far as the hot girl/ugly girl thing, I really doubt I would give a shit.

[k00lguy202]

i thought you were bored? ahhaah. I bet you would care if it was a hot girl or not, but your're just being biased because you can't back up anything your saying. This isn't just a guitar video, they have a whole website, so professionalism is indeed needed for their videos, "smart" ass. but i agree its all in fun an instructional i just don't like how HE dresses up compared to others. but you can't get the point or back up any of yours either.

[thejesman]

*facepalm* Why can't I get rid of you? Are you planning to message me everyday? Okay whatever, appearances are important. It's okay to make assumptions about people you've never met. Celebrities are interesting. Girls that like sex are sluts. Emo is a genre of music. And all the other boring shit that normal people say. Now go away.

[thejesman]

Now please, for the love of God, go annoy somebody else. I'm really tired of talking to you.

[ReeseQS]

@thejesman lol the old "boring" trick, nice trying to dodge the argument.

[thejesman]

Lol dude, don't you start with this. It's bad enough I got one troll that won't leave me alone.

[lejink]

"would you rather learn from a hot girl or an ugly one" well id rather learn from the one whos most talented and best at instructing.. id be there to learn guitar not to get a date, id choose a teacher whos really excited about his/her interest in music. do you play guitar for image? so you can tell people you play guitar, or do you play because you love it?

[dru42or3]

Digi delays sound so canned and shitty. he's got a fulltone tube tape echo, way, way freakin better!

[bogleby]

This retro stuff is great. Much more interesting than the tired old blues rock licks that EVERYBODY does !

[AlanDavidMusic]

in all seriousness, how does he get his hair that high. Thats gotta take alot of gel. haha

[SpawnThe131]

Thanks Jason, I am a beginner and spent 20 minutes in guitar shop yesterday trying to explain something to the guy, I am a beginner so he didnt understand me. You answered my question, Thanks so much. Your a legend. Good luck from Australia.

[dbenc]

Wow! Does this guy crave attention or what...35yrs old and still rebelling against his parents. Must have been picked on in high school a lot.

[skinnyjeans987]

how much fuckin hair gel you think he uses?

[Jinkzy123]

6 pounds of gel... i think

[AcronymHater]

More than likely wood glue,.. you'd stuggle to hack that down with a chainsaw.

[Jinkzy123]

LOL...

[y2joylen]

you need to put something more complex

[Admiral3131]

Johnny Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!

[krowndkingskateteam]
