Thanks Dale I'm really liking your approach to showing how to play songs on your site. Wish you lived closer to my home for lessons in person. Keep up the good work my friend. By the way I'm working hard on the song Losing my Religion on the mandolin I got for Christmas. Fingers aren't bleeding too badly yet. lol. Best of the New Year to you and yours.

Thanks Dale, had prostate cancer, removed prostate Mar. 23rd, now cancer free, :) ..just retired last week so lots of time now to practice your lessons..big classic rock fan, Bad Co. Foreigner, Who, Stones, etc. I love how you explain in detail (fret, fingering, which string etc.) as lots of guys posting lessons forget that it is hard to see exactly where the fingers are landing in the videos. Do you do "Deal with the Preacher" (Bad Co.)? Your lessons really appreciated.:) Brian

[tonedr]

great to hear & I'm very glad for you! I like that tune but have never worked it up.....I will be listening again! Long live/sing Paul Rodgers!!

your friend,

dale

[onlyforbrian2]

Hi Dale, been busy with medical issues, but still following your lessons with great enjoyment, thanks again my friend..:)

[tonedr]

hello sir...I hope your feeling better each day! Really good to hear from you....your friend,

dale

[overunder11]

I have been trying to learn this song thanks this really helped.

[tonedr]

great old tune.....thanks for watching and i hope you enjoy playing this one!

dale

[AYTCH303]

not familiar w/that guitar. are those pickups similar to p90s or minihumbuckers or the like?? great tone. what amp are you running through. sounds fantastic. super fat!!! nice job on the tutorial as well. thanks for your time!!!

[tonedr]

the guitar is a Collings 360 and you are right they are mini-humbuckers by Jason Lollar. I'm using a Headstrong Lil King amp, basically a Princeton clone. Thanks for checking this out and i greatly appreciate the kind post.....all the best with your music!

dale

[40ouncification]

hey man, this was really helpful. i looked up some tabs and they had the intro ALL wrong. i still can't arpeggiate in the slightest and i've almost been playing for 4 years lol. so that last little bit of the intro riff is like impossible for me to play... but all in all thanks a lot.

and that guitar sounds amazing. just saying

[tonedr]

you will get it!! Thanks for your kind post and sharing such a GREAT tune....let me know if i can help in any way!!

dale

[Danklin24]

I want a fillings so bad. John Mayer plays one in a YT video and it just sounds amazing. I forget the model though. Could be 360 also

[tonedr]

I've seen a video if him with an I-35. They make great guitars!!

[Danklin24]

Lol thank god, I thought it was just me getting confused about the 7th and 9th frets. I'm like didn't he just call that the 9th? Easy mistake

[tonedr]

sorry about the mistake - hope the vid helped & thanks for watching!

dale

[killer8055]

i like the tutorial but in the beginning you keep sayig the 7th fret when ur really in the ninth fret. that really confused me but other than that i like it

[tonedr]

very sorry about that...i hate mistakes in my videos!!! I'll try and catch it and put an annotation it - appreciate the heads up - all the best with your music!

dale

[tonedr]

Sorry about the mistake - hope the video helped & thanks for warching!

dale

[marvinsanity15]

[tonedr]

dale

[Nightwing690]

it does tell a grat story Dale, it tellls the true outcome of what happens when a rockstar lives a lfe of alcohol and drugs, and you absolutely nail every note, great

any chance of you getting a lesson of Wish You Were Here?

[tonedr]

I'm embarrassed to say I've never worked it up - sad! But I may - thanks for your post!!

dale

[alogeno2]

[tonedr]

[1961mojo]

Thanks a million for this. I appreciate you showing alternate voicings and locations. It's helping me better understand my way around the fretboard.

God bless.

Hey Dale, what are ytour amp settings in ths viideo, great sound

[tonedr]

thanks - generally run vol 2 - rev 3 - tre 7 - bass 5

this guitar is fairly bright so I might roll highs off a bit. Thanks for your interest!

[fartsallot]

Oh...Try a Victoria Regal II with the Collings...

No Pedals needed by any stretch of the means!

Doc

[tonedr]

great amps for sure - used to own a couple. Thanks for taking your time to stop by - all the best,

dale

[fartsallot]

Hello Tonedr...

My name is Doc.

 I just got a New Collings 360. It's unique in the aspect that it has a Gloss Black Finish on the Flame Cap and a Dog Hair Finish on the remainder of the guitar. Man, aren't these Collings the Best of Perfection! The Minnies are sweet. I've been reviewing your work on You Yube and finding some of it useful, Thanks. I also plan on sharing some major You Tube Work as well as soon as I get a good You Tube Cam Corder. Doc

[tonedr]

thanks for checking out the videos and congrats on the new guitar. I've been a major Collings fan for quite a long time now - i'm glad you are discovering what many have known for a long time - Collings guitars are something very special. Enjoy your 360 - i'm loving mine!

[bassmatic522]

Very nice lesson. All it lacks is some hints on how to get the tone, Mr. Tone Doctor! What effects are you using to get that sound?

[tonedr]

thanks for watching - my guitar (Collings 360) is going into an Exotic AC boost - Fulldrive - to Headstrong Lil King.

best,

dale

[determined2play]

Awesome Dale, as always. Your video's are thorough,easy to watch and grasp.

You have a way of making the difficult look easy. I also like the way you show multiple ways to play the same progression with multiple voicings.

[tonedr]

i really appreciate that kind feedback and want to say thanks for taking the time to watch! I hope all things are good, your friend,

dale

[tonedr]
