Country-Tele: In the Style of Doug Seven / Vince Gill

[algildea]

lovely playing and thanks very much for the backing tracks!

[goldenhopper]

LOVE IT!!!!

[amutimer100]

Hi,

I have watched another of your videos and you get a great tone. All I want to do is get a good tone *direct* to my computer - no amp - digitally. I have guitar rig 3 and it gives me abysmal sound. Do I need a DI box? do I need a distortion pedal? I have a strat - do I need a tele? The thing is, without the real country sound, every country lick just sounds tired, no matter how well it is played.

Any help much appreciated.

[lambadalasse]

@amutimer100 Thanks. With Guitar Rig you actually dont need anything else. I've been trying guitar-rig and putting all sorts of pedals and stuff in front that didnt change anything. The prob can be to get semi-overdrive tones from GR. I felt that GR was for full distortion. But im not sure if thats true in all aspects. My alternative advise is: Get a compressor-pedal + Presonus TubePre and hook that up to soundcard. You get such a sweet overdrive then. I use that often. Cheers

@amutimer100 Hey, with this new Youtube, I haven't figured out how to email.

I can help you out with your plug in stuff..Email here...on youtube..

[AlbertoSteriofficial]

just starting studying country style guitar and what i see and ear in your videos is unbelievable......your playing seems so authentic... are you sure you are not from Nashville?

[lambadalasse]

@AlbertoSteriofficial I just saw your new video...its so great. Haha..no ...not Nashville here. I sure wish. Denmark is no land for country man...so im glad to have youtube to find fellow pickers ...like you :-)

[evoxpress]

did anyone say you look like david coulthard?

[lambadalasse]

@evoxpress haha...no..but I've heard John Wayne and Rutger Hauer... :-)

[pcoffey1941]

Good goin! Thank you for putting this on.

[MrGuimbard]

awesome bro!!!!!

[lambadalasse]

@MrGuimbard Thanks my friend.

[express49]

Brilliant ! loved the end too!

[willievega]

Excellent!! : )

[mystinger72]

Just wondering, do you do any Jerry Reed type stuff too? He's kind of along this style too on some stuff.

Nice job, I watched a few of your vids and was impressed. I jam some blues, but not sure if I can hang with this lol.

[lambadalasse]

@mystinger72 I havent found any Reed stuff that I could play...insane picker. Im looking for some Southstate, swampy "in the heat of the night" thing to play...let me know you got any ideas.

[mystinger72]

@lambadalasse - Hmmm, for Reed's stuff, I would say Gator McKlusky or Amos Moses. Both are swampy. There's another called Poke Salad Annie, it's more chords than anything, but they're pretty cleverly put together. I have messed around with it, fun to play. If you want some hardcore picking, jeez, Mule skinner Blues or Eastbound and Down. I was asking because this here that you play sounds like similar phrasing as the solo to Eastbound and Down.Hope this helps.

[2SugarsPleeze]

Your very gracious to “Doug Seven”, and rightly so!

But BIG respect to you, you have nailed this one.

Your Geetar tone is Awsome!

[egemaster66]

wowzoe effin great are great dude

[fraterlucifer888]

oh man that was cool,twang twang and more twang

[SoloNetherlands]

Tabssss <33333333????

[lambadalasse]

@SoloNetherlands You can get tabs on Doug Seven DVD called "Plying In Circles". It also has instructional video on hpw to play it. Best greetings

[lowa91]

hey!

I was wondering... did you find these licks by yourself? or did you find them on one of doug seven's dvd??? (which one?)

cause I'd like to learn this "song" :)

(I could probably figure it out by ear, but it takes time^^)

keep it up :)

[lambadalasse]

@lowa91 Hi Laura. It's a whole learning session from Doug Sevens DVD called "Playing In Circles". Tabs and his backingtrack is on the DVD also. Best wishes.

[lowa91]

@lambadalasse

thank you!

I don't have this one, I'll certainly buy it... Doug's dvd are so great :)

[bobslacker7]

Wow that's sooo great! I've decided to take up guitar after playing bass for 10 + years. If i could get a fraction as good as you in that time i would be stoked! How many hours a week were you putting into it ? Thanks.

[lambadalasse]

@bobslacker7 Thanks Bob. If you use around 1 hour a day you can play this track after 1-2 months (give or take the mocca-slurping and the distractions from wifey :-)

[bobslacker7]

Have you been chicken pickin for 2years or playing guitar for 2years?

[lambadalasse]

@bobslacker7 Chicken picking 2 years and very little guitar before that - hybrid picking and country style was new.

[MrAmandatheo]

Hi lambadalasse,

We have now the sound you play. (we bought the effects).

Can you tell what notes you play, so we can play the same you do?

[lowa91]

I'll never get tired of watching this video! amazing tone..amazing playing...

keep on pickin' ;)

[lambadalasse]

@lowa91 Heeyyy Laura...so you're still on youtube?...I've been looking for some new videos from you. Hope you are fine. Thanks for your very nice comment. Best regards / Lambada

[MrGuimbard]

awesome playing my friend!

[hardinmichael1981]

Do you need to take care of your right hand fingernails for this style?

[lambadalasse]

@hardinmichael1981 Hi. Actually yes and since this video I have gotten 2 fake acrylic nails put on because I always broke my nails. I keep those pretty short, but being 9 times harder they give clarity to tone. Cheers

[Rushworshiper92]

What effects did you use here man?

[lambadalasse]

@Rushworshiper92 You can see the whole setup and pedalboard setup on my video called "Gear & Sound setup when I recorded Doug Seven / Vince Gill video"

[p0ndu5]

Hi lambadalasse, so I bought the "Playing in Circles" video that you suggested to me, but there is a problem with the download, some things are missing, and Doug never seems to reply to the tech support requests that you can submit on his website. Have you found this? Have you been able to communicate with him? Mange tak!

[RomainChapus]

Superb video. Congrats! I practiced myself the Doug7 Vol.1 instructional.

[p0ndu5]

I find Doug Seven's video site somewhat confusing. What video did you start with (for just the country soloing type of stuff)?

[lambadalasse]

@p0ndu5 I must agree that I'm also a bit cross-eyed when looking at his site. What I play here is Set 2 from his "Playing In Circles" DVD. That DVD suited me best because you train in also playing a series of licks to a backing track. That way it tends to be in the lick arsenal for a longer time.

[leozingy]

I love your videos! They're just the motivation I need to keep learning country licks - I've been working on Doug7 stuff and some of it is extremely difficult (I'm not even touching the Brent Mason instructional a friend gave me). Keep the great videos comin! (great Tele, I have a CAR James Burton sig and I love it soooo much :) )

[MrGuimbard]

great sound!

[dog5244]

LOL dont get me wrong man I love country. But man you are a kick ass guitar player. Do some metallica covers or something. Anyways man I love all you vidz and you got yourself a sub! =)

[lambadalasse]

@dog5244 thanks for the sub. I like metallica...Ramstein..soo great...but never tried to play it. I should give it a try one day :-)

[kedf6556]

Hej Lars

Føj for den lede hvor det ruller.

Kunne være sjovt en dag at kigge forbi i Århus.

Er selv lige startet på lidt Chicken pickin.

Jeg har spillet en 30år på guitar, men det her er helt nyt for mig.

Du spiller stinkende godt.

[lambadalasse]

@kedf6556 Hej og tak for feedback. Du kigger simpelthen bare forbi Risskov når du er i området. Bare drop mig en mail. Der er så få chickpickers i DK så man tror det er løgn :-)

[hooty29340]

Very nice. Tastey licks dude!

[tgmod]

You say you were a complete rookie,do you mean chicken picking rookie, or rookie to the guitar in general? Good job picking I lke it.

[lambadalasse]

@tgmod thanks for your feedback. I was all new to chicken picking including hybrid picking. Country music and the whole paradigm behind that style was brand new territory to me - and such a pleasure to discover. Before this I only had a western guitar and the usual fireplace humming to simple chords era in my life (almost all of it) lol.

[tgmod]

@lambadalasse Which instruction material did you start with or do you recommend from Doug Sevin. I have been clanking around trying to figure out chicken picking but im not getting very far. I need to find some beginner chicken picking stuff.

[lambadalasse]

@tgmod yeah..the very first riffs were also a long story here...the hybrid picking and also getting the sound..I actually downloaded all usable licks and riffs from Youtube I could find - and took those I could see was realistic to rehearse for. After som months I jumped into instruction DVD's...first Forrest Lee Jr....he has some good licks for starters...and then Doug 7...he has some more advanced stuff.

[lesvieuxbriscards]

hello lambadalasse. the guitarplay :ok--- the sound : ok -- felicitations..!!

[kevland1]

You have a great talent for combining licks from other sources with your own to come up with something completely original. I know it takes a long time to put these kind of things together but I hope you will be able to post more soon.

[lambadalasse]

thanks - I really appreciate that comment ...and coming from a great picker like you / Cheers
