Brian Setzer Lesson

[dgb111]

....and they call Clapton God? Brian is by and far the best guitarist of his generation.

[simonjajames]

fantastic playing

[p1ayn]

Just FN awesome! Always has been!

[mwstakyle]

I really wish this guy was a revered as Steve Vai or Yngwie, he's easily as skilled as those guys, but to me, has infinitely more feel for the instrument, and what he plays is so much more musical. personal opinion i know, but i really wish more kids would get into this style, everything seems so shred-oriented now.

[theasteryx]

Bryan is fucking awesome!! is great guitar player!!

[MrPedrorcc]

I can't help laughing... he makes that playin' looks so easy, but when you try to do the same you just CAN'T!! he's just awesome...

[xRobertLauren]

When i go to a guitar lounge i usually somebody that medium good at it, why cant i find him in a lounge. That would be relaxing!

[kitano0]

@680540 You might be right...I would most definitely not want to get up on stage after him, unless I was Jeff...

[680540]

@kitano0 Now that i think about it,maybe Billy Gibbons could hold his own against Brian.I heard Bonamassa was invited last year.He can definitely give Brian a run for his money.But the rest...

[H057IL3]

Example 3 is so tasty.

[DSDJonathan]

Grande maestro!! Tiene que visitar la argentina ese!! por favor!!

[TheBenj2011]

Wow, Brian Setzer himself doing a guitar lesson! There's just no substitute!

[Scrotemeister]

Fucking genius!

[conman12000]

id like to get Some of his albums but idk which one to start with. Any ideas?

[RothcoPaul]

@conman12000 I recommend "Stray Cats" and "Rant 'N' Rave With The Stray Cats", those are my favourites (:

[conman12000]

@RothcoPaul thanks my dude :D

[iamminimoreland]

Favourite guitarist by far <3

[chavjones]

How is a guy whos been a master of guitar for so long still amazed at individual chords?

[therotiv4]

wonderful guitar what model is?

[sgbigsby1989]

@therotiv4

it is a gretsch 6120 hotrod custom. however he modded it further. he personaly pinstriped the body and if i remember the back is pinstriped with flames. he has also remover the tone cap switch from the top completely, which has has been doing for a long time. as tv jones used to be his guitar tech, the pickups in that guitar are also wound to exact spec. i agree it is an amazing instrument, i have tried out one and it blew me away wit both tone and build quality

[BTBHSOHBOY]

Wow. That's all I have to say.

[TheGrooveGuitar]

Sound really Great!!!!!

Chris

[ArnoldwilliamDow]

fuckin smokin Setzer is the shit!

[rffc555]

Can somebody give me Tabs for the first example or link where i can find something like this ?

[GreasyRockabilly]

maan these classic rockabilly riffs

[Fertro]

I think I've just been inspired to learn to play guitar.

[BadRonald1]

This guys totally cool. It's kind of funny but I delivered pizza to him a couple of times in the early 90's. Me a struggling musician and he (as I said) was always cool to me and tipped good too.I'll never forget that. Totally down to Earth. Right on, Brian Thanks

[Kokotienko]

i want him to be my teacher

[randommoosebrains]

police appeared at 0:52 to tell brain to crank it up....it was only obvious :D

[bobidly]

face at 00:25!!

[kira32091]

@bobidly hahahahahahaha

[swishersweetz]

That was...............{ . Y . } up!

[Moshwell]

"Because you wanna hear what you're singin'"  :] Haha...awesome.

[ilmanmuutajamuutilma]

0:26 Brian folds the cards :D

[680540]

I'll bet that guitar is older than i am.

[rangel179931]

What guitar is that

[Alphabex8]

have Brian and Rev. Horton Heat ever played together? god, that would be killer. 

[bassgroove21]

i dont even like rockabilly but dam

[dereckgsc]

At 4:55 it's really AwesOme!!!!!

[kidmandude]

I would definitely think Brian uses no effects pedals that would be not cool for rockabilly just the amps reverb and tremolo!!!

I don't hear anything other then the amp and guitar and what I mentioned above anyone else think the same?

[dereckgsc]

@kidmandude yeah But sometimes use The SlapBack effect For the Solo's

[fanmarti09]

Doe's anybody know what kind of effects/pedal setzer uses beside of the fender bass man amp on stage?

[Fektthis]

@fanmarti09 He uses that under utilized by most of today's guitarists effect called tone.

[swanski100]

@Fektthis dude so true

[dreamboy314]

brian setzer you're so cool.

[dreamboy314]

brian setzer your so cool.

[ZakeWagner]

awsome player can any body help me (is it songs and if it is witch??)

[FloridaMustang1988]

Thats fucking sick man i smile over my hole face, man...

That sounds really awesome!!!

[flowerdrop1]

some nice rock-a-billy work there

[yellofury]

freaking bad ass!!!!

[kitano0]

The most-undervalued guitarist/performer. Why isn't he ever invited to the Crossroads Guitar Festival? .

[680540]

@kitano0 Because he would smoke everybody there.Maybe not Jeff beck,but the rest...

[bart4111]

my new fav youtube vid

[jtricer1973]

Setzer is the man!!

[krisitantobias]

shitting awesome ! !! !

[guitarbob58]

One Hell of a guitar player!! Finger pick and holds the pick trick is cool.

[Worldstriker]

Does somebody know if it is a lesson, released on DVD? If it is so, what is the name of this DVD?

[RyLeeKing]

that guitar is fuckin sick as hell

[gitfiddlin]

anybody heard of denny scott. he owns naples park music in naples florida. that guy can go for miles on the shread mill. brian setzer is definitely a bad ass, if you get a chance to check out denny scott. do it

[comicozy87]

A lot of guitarists only play one or two geres of music. Not this guitarest. He can

play at LEAST six. Not just playing average, he's mastered every single genre of music that he played. That is why I think he is the best guitar player in the world.

But he doesn't get recognized because for some stupid reason, the modern day music world is only interested with people that has no talent.

[BibleBlack42]

@comicozy87 Well most of the world commonly recognizes a commercial style more than anything. Some people just don't know what the fuck actual music is.

[StratoFonia]

Help!!! Dove posso Trovare il Video Completo!?? Lo Vogliooo!!! Brian Setzer ♥

[teamtampico1]

brian the best ♥

[mjudeb]

[PukeBucket]

[leopower7]

[espdestroyer]

I just bought a Sea Foam Green with Silver Sparkles from a friend of mine for $100.00 it's a 5126 I love it!!! among my other 7 diff. guitars i have. please e-mail me or go to my page at espdestroyer. Thank you Brian is truly the greatest I'm 36 and the first time i heard him i was in the 4th grade. Stray Cat Strut, and i'm still trying to learn that song, i wish i had the TAB!!Thanks Brian . Jason D. Decker USN SeaBees

[Nebelorz]

0:01 - 0:50, its a song from Brian? or its only a verse only wrote to practice? If there's a song, please, tell me the name (:

thanks

[screaminpicker]

pretty sure its from Rumble in Brighton

[sanduuuu]

sounds to me a little like "Rumble In Brighton"

[karlstifler]

on one hand, i am inspired and try to be that good. on the other hand, i despair, because i will never make it.

please tell me brian cant do long division, or tie his shoes, or something... because he is way too good at this...

[Voodutube]

NOT hiding being distortion - shows he's good.

[scrumpymanjack]

4.56 to 5.04 is just insane. What a player. I wish he'd ditch that way ugly Gretsch, though, and just stick with the one he normally plays.

[HarrrySpider]

oh man is he good... Example 8... wtf? Been playing 25 years, and I'd have to study that for weeks to even comprehend it, much less play it... I really hated Stray Cats back in the day... but it used to piss me off that I couldn't play his solos...

a true talent

[laylakeeler]

i think that is a grech guitar

[RDVideosInc]

It is. I looked it up.

[Andy13deanguitars]

cool guy with an ugly guitar =P

[badboyburton360]

very rock and roll

[mentedementeguitar]

this guy is AMAZING!

[Peytonsbeard]

example 8 always gets me

i need those chords

[GuitarComet]

I can play about 1/2 of these type licks...and I've been playing for 30 years!

This guy is just a phemomenal player, always has been. His mom probably stuck a guitar neck inside herself before he was born (and some Elvis records)

[axiluss]

there are tons of shredders, and almost noone chooses to play like him, i wonder why.. this oldskool style along with contemporary influences in soloing is just awesome. genuine master of guitar

[FranBro]

Because most shredders spend all their time and energy developing their left hand and their tremolo picking. Take away their pick and they usually can't even play the guitar let alone use their right hand this well. We play with both hands....!

[OMALLEYAI]

are you kidding me? Look at buckethead and Michael angelo batio and Oli Herbert. Seriously. U know how much skill and precision it takes to play like them?

[FranBro]

Who was talking about thos specific players? I for one love Buckethead. Most "shredders" cannot play like Biuckethead. And from playing in bands for 20 years and I have know dozens of guitaists who would impress the hell out of you "shredding". Then I've seen them with an acoustic and no pick and they could barely play the damned thing...

[FranBro]

and oh yeah, try to get most of those guys to actually 'groove" or play a shuffle in swing time.

[grumbern]

@axiluss Why? I guess, because it's much more difficult :-D

[roykyle1964]

@axiluss I believe that is because it is harder to play like Setzer!!!

[HuckleberrySlim]

brian is like a rockabilly django man :)

[PDXorcist]

Haha, i can dig it... the cool thing is that if you're into rockabilly, jazz is like that cool uncle that makes it to every few thanksgiving.

[shep79]

The pick tuck that he does is pretty smooth.

[Edhallick]

This aint good kind of lessom. how do u put the string on the guitar

[pizzacat311]

Hear the firetruck at :59? That's because Brian's burnin' down the house!

[RkCrai]

hahahaha :D

[qualitytool]

does anyone have the tab for exercise 8?

[netoo2]

lo hace verce tan simple !

[phallystorm]

Amazing TONE, and Great Technique. Massapequa NY ..we Love ya Brian!!!

[blackbirdnum9]

Brian is such a charming bad ass

[Valentione]

what chord is that in the beginning?

[qualitytool]

try E5 and putting a G on and off

kinda like pipeline

[HangLoosecaca]

heavy pinstripping! wow

[WoodyBeaver]

sounds like Rumble in Brighton to me

[mandrilltheape]
