funny thing about this lick is that its an old Van halen lick from Van halen 1. Eddie does this stuff all over the place. I guess Brad "borrowed" it and put it in a country context
Dude, thank you SO much for sharing this stuff on YouTube! You are the best at teaching technique. I subscribed to your website before and I'm going to subscribe again after Christmas for the "Habitual-Techniques"!
Not to mention that you are just an all-around bad-ass player brother!!!!! Keep up the good work my friend.
Let me know if you ever get to Charlotte so you can come and jam with a top-notch country group down here! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks man...I am loving learning country after years of blues rock. You will be among my many new teachers and I defineately want to buy yer vids. Thanks again :)
I Like your style, Sounds great, I would love to learn this type of playing.I subscribed to your channel, and really like your music. I mostly play rock at gmick49. But I really like the chicken picking thing you do. Next on my list to learn. Might even get your vids to learn. Thanks for the good picking,

Awesome. Great tune, great sound .Is that a special made telecaster.I love your style. I have videos at gmick49, but want to expand more. I mostly do rock. But your sound is Great. I want to learn this style of picking. Sounds awesome,

Thanks Doug. I have bought many of your vids, as well as PG's Guitar Star with Brent Mason (makers of Band in a Box). I am learning as much as possible and both you and him are great teachers (although as of now he is still likely considered a bit more of a legend :P)
I've been watching you for a while now.I'm a rock fusion guy but I get alot of country pay gigs and this newer country style has a tricky sound I like!I definantly hope to get close.
Danny,Brent,Brad,and you my friend are my inspiration for playing this style!Thanks
Brad Paisley is my favorite guitarist...My goal is to learn all his songs and almost master them but the end of this year. I have followed you for about a year and I look up to you soo much. Your a great guy who shares the same beliefs as myself. Thanks again for all you do.
Great stuff man!! Learned alot with just this small video cant wait to check out the whole thing. I'm a blues player who is really intrigued with how country players do what they do so im looking forward to learning more from you.
Hey Doug I love your stuff. Would you show me some licks to play that is more like fill. not exactly up and down rhythm, but something to fill in when another instrument is taking a lead or bridge or like during a verse. I hope you understand what I am trying to say. Thanks John
Nice job Im more of a blues player but looking to add some different tricks to my bag and this sure is different . But like u say easier to do when u break it down like u did It sounds great & i like your approach with your lesson very easy to follow Thanks
Just found your stuff. Looking real good if the rest is like this vid.
I just picked up my guitar after not playing for several years. I was never really good to start with, but now with youtube, I'm thinking I might have a chance. I'm subscribing to your channel and bookmarking your site to help that chance along.
What I like about Doug Seven's videos is they get to the point. I purchased "Habitual Techniques" about a week ago. I was amazed about how it made me a new guitar player, OVERNIGHT! Thanks Doug Seven.
DOUG,thanx for all your help!! Been studying your vid's for a little while now!! Dude, you smoke this country picking!! A comment was made about theory,& the lack of it in this style!! Because hillbillies had no books,DVD's, or any study material to help them learn, so they used the MOST IMPORTANT TOOL ,THE EARS!! This has helped guitar playing evolve to where it is today!! CHET started some of this,JERRY REED should be named,MERLE,& KENNEDY JONES(CHET's heroes),even LES PAUL, are pioneers!!
Thanks for the upbeat, positive and fresh approach. You've rekindled my spirit. Can't wait til I get those chops up to buy a Tele. When I get the engine back in my truck I'll have more time to play. Kudos.
I have to admit,, I haven't been able to afford the videos, I'm a Texas musician who is now in Eastern Europe and struggling to get by..
BUT~!! On making the transition from Rock to Country, I can say,, just from going to your free videos on your web sight, I've learned more than money is worth...
I give you the true promise,, as soon as my finances are better, I plan to order every lesson you have...
Your a GREAT teacher, down to earth, and simple truth speaker..
your guitar methods literally changed the way I approached playing and learning the guitar. I always look forward to getting your latest DVD release to add to the library and keep opening those previously locked doors. Thanks Doug Seven! You are the best man!
Thanks for the instruction my friend! I have something new to noodle with.
